< Psalms 84 >
1 Lord, you who are the Commander of the armies of angels, your temple is very beautiful!
Veisuunjohtajalle; veisataan kuin viininkorjuulaulu; koorahilaisten virsi. Kuinka ihanat ovat sinun asuinsijasi, Herra Sebaot!
2 I [SYN] would like to be there; Yahweh, I desire that very much [DOU]. With all of my inner being I sing joyfully to you, the all-powerful God.
Minun sieluni ikävöitsee ja halajaa Herran esikartanoihin, minun sydämeni ja ruumiini pyrkii riemuiten elävää Jumalaa kohti.
3 Even sparrows and swallows have built nests [near your temple, where you protect them] [DOU]; they take care of their young babies near the altars [where people offer sacrifices to] you, who are the commander of the armies of heaven, and my king and my God.
Löysihän lintunen majan ja pääskynen pesän, johon se poikasensa laskee: sinun alttarisi, Herra Sebaot, minun kuninkaani ja minun Jumalani.
4 (Happy are/You are pleased with) those who (live/continually worship) in your temple, constantly singing to praise you.
Autuaat ne, jotka sinun huoneessasi asuvat! He kiittävät sinua alati. (Sela)
5 Happy are those who [know that] you are the one who causes them to be strong, those who strongly desire to (make the trip/go) to Zion [Hill].
Autuaat ne ihmiset, joilla on voimansa sinussa, joilla on mielessänsä pyhät matkat!
6 While they travel through the [dry] Baca Valley, [you cause] it to become a place where there are springs of water, where the rains (in the autumn/before the cold season) fill the valley with pools of water.
Kun he käyvät Kyynellaakson kautta, he muuttavat sen lähteitten maaksi, ja syyssade peittää sen siunauksilla.
7 [As a result, those who travel through there] become stronger/refreshed [knowing that] they will appear in your presence (on Zion [Hill]/in Jerusalem).
He käyvät voimasta voimaan, he astuvat Jumalan eteen Siionissa.
8 Yahweh, commander of the armies of heaven, listen to my prayer; God, who [is worshiped by us (descendants of] Jacob/Israeli people), hear [IDM] what I am saying!
Herra, Jumala Sebaot, kuule minun rukoukseni, ota se korviisi, Jaakobin Jumala. (Sela)
9 God, be kind to [IDM] our king, the one who protects us [MTY], the one whom you have chosen [MTY] [to rule us].
Jumala, meidän kilpemme, käännä katseesi, katso voideltusi kasvoja.
10 [For me], spending one day in your temple is better than spending 1,000 days somewhere else; [standing] at the entrance to your temple, [ready to go inside], is better than living in the tents/homes where wicked [people live].
Sillä yksi päivä sinun esikartanoissasi on parempi kuin tuhat muualla; mieluummin minä olen vartijana Jumalani huoneen kynnyksellä, kuin asun jumalattomien majoissa.
11 Yahweh our God is [like] the sun [that shines on us] and [like] a shield [that protects us] [MET]; he is kind to [us] and honors [us]. Yahweh does not refuse to give any good thing/blessing to those who do what is right.
Sillä Herra Jumala on aurinko ja kilpi; Herra antaa armon ja kunnian, ei hän kiellä hyvää niiltä, jotka nuhteettomasti vaeltavat.
12 Yahweh, commander of the armies of heaven, (happy are/you are pleased with) those who trust in you!
Herra Sebaot, autuas se ihminen, joka sinuun turvaa!
