Psalms 97
1 Yahweh is the king! I want [everyone on] the earth to be glad/happy, and the [people who live on] the islands in the oceans to [also] rejoice [about that!]
Jahve kraljuje: neka kliče zemlja, nek' se vesele otoci mnogi!
2 There are very dark clouds around him [to hide him]; he rules [MTY] righteously/justly and fairly.
Oblak i tama ovijaju njega, pravda i pravo temelji su prijestolja njegova.
3 He [sends] fire in front of him, and he completely burns all his enemies in that fire.
Oganj ide pred njim i sažiže okolo dušmane njegove.
4 All around the world he causes lightning to flash; [people on] the earth see it, and it causes them to [be afraid and] tremble.
Munje mu svijet osvjetljuju; zemlja to vidi i strepi.
5 The mountains/hills melt like wax in front of Yahweh, the one who is the Lord, [who rules] over all the earth.
Brda se tope pred Jahvom k'o vosak, pred vladarom zemlje sve.
6 The [angels in] [MTY] heaven proclaim that he acts righteously, and all the people-groups see his glory.
Nebesa navješćuju pravednost njegovu, svi narodi gledaju mu slavu.
7 Everyone who worships idols should be ashamed; all those who are proud of their false gods [should realize that their gods are useless], [It is as though] all those gods bow down [to worship] Yahweh.
Nek' se postide svi što likove štuju i koji se hvale kumirima. Poklonite mu se, svi bozi!
8 [The people] [MTY] of Jerusalem hear [about Yahweh] and are glad/happy, and [people in the other] [MTY] cities in Judah [also] rejoice, because Yahweh judges [and punishes wicked people].
Sion radostan sluša, gradovi Judini kliču zbog tvojih sudova, o Jahve!
9 Yahweh is the supreme [king] over all the earth; he has very great power, and all the [other] gods have no power at all.
Jer ti si, o Jahve, Svevišnji - nad svom zemljom, visoko, visoko nad bozima svima.
10 Yahweh loves those who hate what [people do that] is evil; he protects the lives of his people, and he rescues them when the wicked [people try to harm them].
Jahve ljubi one koji mrze na zlo, on čuva duše pobožnika svojih, izbavlja ih iz ruku opakih.
11 His light shines on righteous [people]; he causes those who are righteous to rejoice.
Svjetlost sviće pravedniku i radost čestitima u srcu.
12 You righteous [people], rejoice about what Yahweh [has done], and thank him, our holy God!
Radujte se, pravednici, u Jahvi, slavite sveto ime njegovo!
