< Psalms 148 >
1 Praise Yahweh! Praise him, from up in heaven; praise him from way up in the sky!
Aleluja! Hvalite Jahvu s nebesa, hvalite ga u visinama!
2 All you angels who belong to him, praise him! All you who are in the armies of heaven, praise him!
Hvalite ga, svi anđeli njegovi, hvalite ga, sve vojske njegove!
3 Sun and moon, [you also] praise him! You shining stars, you praise him!
Hvalite ga, sunce i mjeseče, hvalite ga, sve zvijezde svjetlosne!
4 You highest heavens, praise him! And you waters that are high above the sky, praise him!
Hvalite ga, nebesa nebeska, i vode nad svodom nebeskim!
5 I want [all of] these to praise Yahweh [MTY] because by commanding [them to exist], he created them.
Neka hvale ime Jahvino jer on zapovjedi i postadoše.
6 He determined the places where they should be [in the sky], and he commanded that they should be there forever. They cannot disobey that command!
Postavi ih zauvijek i dovijeka po zakonu koji neće proći.
7 And everything on the earth, praise Yahweh! You [huge] sea monsters and [everything else that is] deep [in the ocean],
Hvalite Jahvu sa zemlje, nemani morske i svi bezdani!
8 and fire and hail, and snow and frost, and strong winds that obey what he commands, [I tell] all of you to praise Yahweh!
Ognju i grÓade, sniježe i maglo, olujni vjetre, što riječ njegovu izvršavaš!
9 Hills and mountains, fruit trees and cedar [trees],
Gore i svi brežuljci, plodonosna stabla i svi cedrovi!
10 all the wild animals and all [you] cattle, and the (reptiles/creatures that scurry across the ground), and [all] the birds, [I tell all of them to praise Yahweh]!
Zvijeri i sve životinje, gmizavci i ptice krilate!
11 You kings on this earth and all the people [that you rule], you princes and all [other] rulers,
Zemaljski kraljevi i svi narodi, knezovi i suci zemaljski!
12 you young men and young women, you old people and children, [everyone, praise Yahweh!]
Mladići i djevojke, starci s djecom zajedno:
13 I want them [all] to praise Yahweh [MTY] because he is greater than anyone else. His glory is greater than [anything on] the earth or [in] heaven.
nek' svi hvale ime Jahvino, jer jedino je njegovo ime uzvišeno! Njegovo veličanstvo zemlju i nebo nadvisuje,
14 He caused us, his people, to be strong in order that we, his people, we Israeli people (who are very precious to him/whom he loves very much), would praise him. So praise Yahweh!
on podiže snagu svom narodu, on proslavlja svete svoje, sinove Izraelove - narod njemu blizak. Aleluja!
