Psalms 144
1 I praise Yahweh, who is [like an overhanging] rock [under which I] ([get refuge/am protected])! He trains my hands so that I can use them to fight battles; he trains my fingers so that I can [shoot arrows in a war].
Davidův. Požehnaný Hospodin skála má, kterýž učí ruce mé boji, a prsty mé bitvě.
2 He is the one who protects me; he is [like] a fortress [DOU] in which I am safe, he protects me [like] [protect soldiers] [MET], and he gives me refuge. He defeats [other] nations and [then] puts them under my power.
Milosrdenství mé a hrad můj, útočiště mé, vysvoboditel můj, a štít můj, protož v něhoť já doufám; onť mi podmaňuje lidi.
3 Yahweh, [we] people are [very insignificant/unimportant], so why (are you concerned/do you care about us) [RHQ]? [It is amazing to me that] you pay attention to humans.
Hospodine, co jest člověk, že se znáš k němu, a syn člověka, že ho sobě tak vážíš?
4 [The time that we live is as short] as [SIM] a puff of wind; our time to live disappears like a shadow does.
Člověk marnosti podobný jest, dnové jeho jako stín pomíjející.
5 Yahweh, (tear open/open up) the sky and come down! Touch the mountains in order that smoke will pour out from them!
Hospodine, nakloň svých nebes a sstup, dotkni se hor, a kouřiti se budou.
6 Cause lightning to flash with the result that [your enemies] will run away! Shoot your arrows [at them] and cause them to (run away/scatter).
Sešli hromobití a rozptyl je, vypusť střely své a poraz je.
7 [It is as though my enemies surround me like] a flood; reach your hand down from heaven and rescue me from them [SYN]. They are men from other countries
Vztáhni ruku svou s výsosti, vysvoboď mne, a vytrhni mne z vod mnohých, z ruky cizozemců.
8 who [SYN] [always] tell lies. [Even in a courtroom where they swear to tell the truth] they tell lies.
Jejichž ústa mluví marnost, a pravice jejich jest pravice lživá.
9 God, I will sing a new song to you, and I will play my ten-stringed harp [while I sing] to you.
Bože, píseň novou zpívati budu tobě na loutně, a na desíti strunách žalmy tobě prozpěvovati,
10 You enable kings to defeat [their enemies]; and you rescued me, your servant David, from [being killed by] my enemies’ swords.
Dávajícímu vítězství králům, a vysvobozujícímu Davida, služebníka svého od meče vražedlného.
11 [So I ask you to] save me from [being killed by] the swords [that those] evil [people carry]. Rescue me from the power [MTY] of those foreigners who [SYN] [always] tell lies, and [who raise] their right hands [in courtrooms when they solemnly declare that they will tell the truth].
Vysvoboď mne, a vytrhni mne z ruky cizozemců, jejichž ústa mluví marnost, a pravice jejich pravice lživá.
12 I wish/hope that our young sons will grow up to be like strong plants [SIM], and I wish/hope that our daughters will [grow up to] be [straight and tall] like the pillars [SIM] that stand in the corners of palaces.
Aby synové naši byli jako štípkové zdárně rostoucí v mladosti své, a dcery naše jako úhelní kamenové, tesaní ku podobenství chrámu.
13 I wish/hope that our barns will be full of many different crops. I wish/hope that the sheep in our fields will give birth to tens of thousands of baby lambs.
Špižírny naše plné ať vydávají všelijaké potravy; dobytek náš ať rodí na tisíce, a na deset tisíců v stájích našich.
14 I wish/hope that our cows will give birth to many calves without having any miscarriages or deaths when they are born (OR, that no enemies will break through our city walls and take us (into exile/to their own countries)). I wish/hope that [there will not be a time when the people in] our streets cry out in distress [because foreign armies are invading].
Volové naši ať jsou vytylí; ať není vpádu ani zajetí, ani naříkání na ulicích našich.
15 If good things like that happen to a nation, the people will be very happy. The people whose God is Yahweh are the ones who will be happy!
Blahoslavený lid, jemuž se tak děje, blahoslavený ten lid, jehož Hospodin Bohem jest.
