Psalms 19
1 [When people look at everything that] God [has placed in] the skies, they can see that he is very great; they can see the great things that he has created.
Nebesa kazuju slavu Božiju, i djela ruku njegovijeh glasi svod nebeski.
2 Day after day [it is as though the sun] proclaims [the glory of God], and night after night [it is as though the moon and stars] say that they know [that God made them].
Dan danu dokazuje, i noæ noæi javlja.
3 They do not really speak; they do not say any words. There is no voice [from them] for anyone to hear.
Nema jezika, niti ima govora, gdje se ne bi èuo glas njihov.
4 But what they declare [about God] goes throughout the world, and [even people who live in] the most distant/remote places on earth can know it. The sun is in the skies where God placed it [MET];
Po svoj zemlji ide kazivanje njihovo i rijeèi njihove na kraj vasiljene. Suncu je postavio stan na njima;
5 it rises each morning like a bridegroom [who is happy] as he comes out of his bedroom after his wedding. It is like a strong athlete who is very eager to start running in a race.
I ono izlazi kao ženik iz ložnice svoje, kao junak veselo teèe putem.
6 The sun rises at one side of the sky and goes across [the sky and sets on] the other side, and nothing can hide from its heat.
Izlazak mu je nakraj neba, i hod mu do kraja njegova; i niko nije sakriven od toplote njegove.
7 The instructions that Yahweh has given us are perfect; they (revive us/give us new strength). We can be sure that the things that Yahweh has told us will never change, and [by learning them] people who have not been previously taught/instructed will become wise.
Zakon je Gospodnji svršen, krijepi dušu; svjedoèanstvo je Gospodnje vjerno, daje mudrost nevještome.
8 Yahweh’s laws are fair/just; [when we obey them], we become joyful. The commands of Yahweh are clear, and [by reading them] [PRS] we start to understand [how God wants us to behave].
Naredbe su Gospodnje pravedne, vesele srce. Zapovijest je Gospodnja svijetla, prosvjetljuje oèi.
9 It is good for people to revere Yahweh; that is something that they will do forever. What Yahweh has decided is fair, and it is always right.
Strah je Gospodnji èist, ostaje dovijeka. Sudovi su njegovi istini, pravedni svikoliki.
10 The things that God has decided are more valuable than gold, even the finest/purest gold. They are sweeter than honey that drips from honeycombs.
Bolji su od zlata i dragog kamenja, slaði od meda koji teèe iz sata.
11 Furthermore, [by reading them] I learn [what things are good to do and what things are evil], and they promise a great reward to [us who] obey them.
I slugu tvojega oni su prosvijetlili; ko ih drži ima veliku platu.
12 But there is no one who can know all his errors [RHQ]; so Yahweh, forgive me for these things which I do that I do not realize are wrong.
Ko æe znati sve svoje pogrješke? Oèisti me i od tajnijeh;
13 Keep me from doing things that I know are wrong; do not let my sinful desires control me. If you do that, I will no longer be guilty for committing such sins, and I will not commit the great sin [of rebelling terribly] against you.
I od voljnijeh saèuvaj slugu svojega, da ne obladaju mnome. Tada æu biti svršen i èist od velikoga prijestupa.
14 O Yahweh, you are [like] an [overhanging] rock [MET] under which I can be safe; you are the one who protects me. I hope/desire that the things that I say and what I think will [always] please you.
Da su ti rijeèi usta mojih ugodne, i pomisao srca mojega pred tobom, Gospode, krjeposti moja i izbavitelju moj!
