Psalms 37
1 Do not be bothered/upset by what wicked [people do]. Do not desire to have the things that people who do wrong/evil have,
Dāvida dziesma. Neapskaities par bezdievīgiem, neiekarsies par ļauna darītājiem,
2 because they will soon disappear, like grass withers [in the hot sun] and dries up. Just like some green plants [come up but] die [during the hot summer], evil people will soon die also.
Jo tā kā zāle tie drīz top nocirsti, un savītīs kā zaļa zāle.
3 Trust in Yahweh, and do what is good; if you do that, you will live safely in the land [that he has given you], and you will live peacefully [MET].
Cerē uz To Kungu un dari labu, paliec savā zemē un uzturies ar uzticību.
4 Be delighted with all that Yahweh [does for you]; if you do that, he will give you the things that you desire most.
Priecājies iekš Tā Kunga, tad Viņš tev dos tavas sirds lūgšanas.
5 Commit to Yahweh all the things that you plan to do; trust in him, and he will do [whatever is needed to help you].
Pavēli Tam Kungam savu ceļu un cerē uz Viņu, tad Viņš gan darīs.
6 He will show [as clearly] as the sunlight that you (are innocent/have done nothing that is wrong); he will show [as clearly] as [the sun at] noontime [SIM] that all the things that you have decided are just.
Viņš liks aust tavai taisnībai kā gaismai un tavai tiesai kā dienas spožumam.
7 Be quiet in Yahweh’s presence, and wait patiently for him [to do what you want him to do]. Do not be bothered/upset when what evil men do is successful, when they are able to do the wicked things that they plan.
Ciet klusu Tam Kungam un gaidi uz Viņu, neapskaities par to, kam ceļš labi izdodas, par vīru, kas dodas uz blēdīgiem padomiem.
8 Do not be angry [about what wicked people do]. Do not want to punish them yourself. Do not be envious of such people because you will only harm [yourself if you try to envy them].
Atstājies no dusmības un mities no bardzības, nesaskaities, ka tu ļauna nedari.
9 [Some day Yahweh] will get rid of wicked people, but those who trust in Yahweh will live [safely] in the land [that he has given to them].
Jo ļaunie taps izdeldēti; bet kas uz To Kungu gaida, tie zemi iemantos.
10 Soon the wicked will disappear. If you look for them, they will be gone.
Mazs brīdis vēl, un bezdievīgā vairs nav; un kad Tu raudzīsi pēc viņa vietas, tad tā vairs nav.
11 But those who are humble will live safely in their land. They will happily enjoy living peacefully and having the other good things [that Yahweh gives them].
Bet lēnprātīgie iemantos zemi un priecāsies lielā mierā.
12 Wicked people plan to harm righteous/godly people; they snarl at them [MET] [like wild animals].
Bezdievīgais glūn uz taisno un sakož savus zobus pret viņu.
13 But Yahweh laughs [at them] because he knows that some day [MTY] [he will judge and punish] the wicked people.
Bet Tas Kungs par viņu smejas, jo tas redz, ka viņa diena nāks.
14 Wicked people pull out their swords/daggers and they put strings on their bows, ready to kill people who are poor [DOU] and to slaughter those who live righteously.
Bezdievīgie izvelk zobenu un uzvelk savu stopu, gāzt bēdīgo un nabagu un nokaut tos, kas uz taisniem ceļiem.
15 But they will be killed by their own swords/daggers, and their bows will be broken.
Bet viņu zobens ies viņu pašu sirdī, un viņu stopi taps salauzti.
16 It is good to be righteous/godly even if you do not have many possessions, but it is bad to be wicked, even if you are very wealthy,
Tas mazums, kas taisnam, ir labāks, nekā tā bagātība, kas daudz bezdievīgiem.
17 because [Yahweh] will completely take away the strength of wicked people, but he will (sustain/take care of) people who live righteously.
Jo bezdievīgiem elkonis taps salauzts, bet Tas Kungs uztur taisnos.
18 Every day Yahweh cares about those who have not done any evil things; the things that Yahweh gives them will last forever.
Tas Kungs zina sirds skaidro dienas, un viņu manta paliks mūžīgi.
19 They will survive when calamities occur; when there are famines, they will still have plenty to eat.
Bēdu laikā tie netaps kaunā, un bada laikā tie taps paēdināti.
20 But wicked people will die; [just] like the beautiful wild flowers in the fields [die under the hot sun] and disappear like smoke [MET], Yahweh [will cause] his enemies to suddenly disappear.
Jo bezdievīgie ies bojā, un Tā Kunga ienaidnieki kā lauku jaukums iznīks, tie iznīks kā dūmi.
21 The wicked people borrow [money], but they are not able to repay it; righteous/godly people, [in contrast, have enough money that] they can give generously [to others].
Bezdievīgais aizņem uz parādu un neatdod, bet taisnais ir žēlīgs un devīgs.
22 Those whom Yahweh has blessed will live safely in the land that he has given to them, but he will get rid of those people whom he has cursed.
Jo Tā Kunga svētītie iemantos zemi, bet Viņa nolādētie taps izdeldēti.
23 Yahweh protects those who do what is pleasing to him, and he will enable them to walk confidently, wherever they go;
No Tā Kunga būs stiprināti tāda vīra soļi, un ved tādu, kura ceļš viņam patīk.
24 even if they stumble, they will not fall down, because Yahweh holds them by his hand.
Ja viņš krīt, tad nepaliek guļam, jo Tas Kungs viņu tur pie rokas.
25 I was young [previously], and now I am an old man, but [in all those years], I have never seen righteous/godly people being abandoned by Yahweh, nor have I seen that their children [needed to] beg for food.
Es esmu jauns bijis un arī vecs palicis, bet es neesmu redzējis taisno atstātu, nedz viņa dzimumu meklējam maizi.
26 Righteous/Godly people are generous, and happily lend [money to others], and their children are a blessing to them.
Vienmēr viņš apžēlojās un aizdod, un viņa dzimums ir par svētību.
27 Turn away from [doing] evil, and do what is good. If you do that, you [and your descendants] will live in your land forever.
Atstājies no ļauna un dari labu, tad tu paliksi mūžīgi.
28 [That will happen] because Yahweh likes to see people doing what is just, and he will never forsake righteous/godly people. He will protect them forever; but he will get rid of the children of wicked people.
Jo Tas Kungs mīl tiesu un neatstās Savus svētos; tie top mūžīgi pasargāti, bet bezdievīgo dzimums top izdeldēts.
29 Righteous/Godly people will own the land [that Yahweh promised to give to them], and they will live there forever.
Taisnie iemantos zemi, un dzīvos iekš tās mūžam.
30 Righteous people give wise [advice to others], and they [MTY] say what is just/fair.
Taisnā mute izteic gudrību, un viņa mēle runā tiesu.
31 They continually think about God’s laws; they do not stray from [God’s] path.
Dieva bauslība ir viņa sirdī, viņa soļi nestraipelēs.
32 Those who are evil wait in ambush for righteous people in order to kill them [as they walk by].
Bezdievīgais glūn uz taisno un meklē viņu nokaut.
33 But Yahweh will not abandon righteous people, and allow (them to fall into their enemies’ hands/their enemies harm them). And he will not allow righteous people to be condemned when someone takes them to a judge [to be put on trial].
Bet Tas Kungs to nepamet viņa rokā, un to nepazudina, kad to tiesā.
34 Be patient and trust that Yahweh [will help you], and (walk on his paths/do what he wants you to do). [If you do that], he will honor you by giving you the land [that he promised], and when he gets rid of the wicked, you will see it happen.
Gaidi uz To Kungu un sargi Viņa ceļu, tad Viņš tevi paaugstinās, ka tu zemi iemanto; tu redzēsi, ka bezdievīgie taps izdeldēti.
35 I have seen that wicked people who (act like tyrants/terrify people) [sometimes] prosper, like trees that grow well in fertile soil,
Es esmu redzējis vienu bezdievīgu, tas darīja varas darbus un zaļoja kā paša audzis koks.
36 when I looked [later], they were gone! I searched for them, but [Yahweh had caused] them to disappear.
Bet tas iznīka, un redzi, tā nebija vairs; es pēc viņa vaicāju bet viņš netapa atrasts.
37 Notice the people who have not done evil things, those who act righteously: their descendants will have peace in their inner beings.
Ņem vērā sirds skaidro un uzlūko taisno, jo tādam vīram beidzot labi klāsies.
38 But Yahweh will get rid of the wicked; he will also get rid of their descendants (OR, as a result, they will not have any descendants).
Bet pārkāpēji kopā taps samaitāti, bezdievīgie taps beidzot izdeldēti.
39 Yahweh rescues righteous people; in times of trouble he protects them [MET].
Bet taisno palīdzība ir no Tā Kunga; Tas tiem ir par stiprumu bēdu laikā.
40 Yahweh helps them and saves them; he rescues them from [being attacked/harmed by] wicked people because they go to him to be protected [MET].
Un Tas Kungs tiem palīdzēs un tos izglābs, Viņš tos izglābs no bezdievīgiem, un tos izpestīs, jo tie paļaujas uz Viņu.
