Psalms 84
1 Lord, you who are the Commander of the armies of angels, your temple is very beautiful!
Ó, hve musteri þitt er yndislegt, þú Drottinn hersveitanna.
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.
Mig langar svo mjög, já ég þrái, að nálgast þig, hinn lifandi Guð.
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.
Jafnvel spörvum og svölum leyfist að búa sér hreiður innan um ölturu þín og eiga þar unga sína. Þú Drottinn hinna himnesku hersveita, konungur minn og Guð minn!
4 (Happy are/You are pleased with) those who (live/continually worship) in your temple, constantly singing to praise you.
Sælir eru þeir sem fá að búa í musteri þínu og syngja þér lof.
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].
Sælir eru þeir sem fá styrk frá þér og þrá það eitt að ganga veg þinn.
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.
Þegar þeir ganga gegnum táradalinn, þá breytir þú honum í vatnsríka vin og haustregrúð færir þeim blessun.
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).
Þeir styrkjast á göngunni og fá að lokum að ganga fram fyrir Drottin í musteri hans á Síon.
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!
Drottinn, Guð hersveitanna, heyrðu bæn mína! Hlusta þú Guð Ísraels.
9 God, be kind to [IDM] our king, the one who protects us [MTY], the one whom you have chosen [MTY] [to rule us].
Guð, þú ert vörn okkar, miskunna honum sem þú smurðir til konungs.
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].
Einn dagur í musteri þínu er betri en þúsund aðrir sem eytt er á öðrum stað! Frekar vildi ég vera dyravörður í musteri Guðs míns, en búa í höllum óguðlegra.
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.
Því að Drottinn er okkur ljós og skjöldur. Vegsemd og náð veitir hann. Hann neitar þeim ekki um nein gæði sem hlýða honum.
12 Yahweh, commander of the armies of heaven, (happy are/you are pleased with) those who trust in you!
Drottinn hersveitanna, sæll er sá maður sem treystir þér.
