Psalms 99
1 Yahweh is the [supreme] king, so [all] the people-groups should tremble ([in his presence/in front of him])! He sits on his throne [in the temple] above the [statues of] winged creatures, [so] the earth should quake/shake!
Drottinn er konungur! Þjóðirnar skjálfi! Hásæti hans stendur miklu ofar englunum. Jörðin nötri í óttablandinni virðingu.
2 Yahweh is a mighty [king] in Jerusalem; [but] he is [also] the supreme ruler of all people-groups.
Drottinn ríkir með hátign á Síon, æðri öllum konungum á jörðu.
3 [So] they should praise him because he is very great/powerful; and he is holy!
Þeir tigni hans háa og heilaga nafn!
4 He is a mighty king who (loves/is pleased with) what is just/right; he has acted justly and fairly [DOU] in Israel.
Drottinn er voldugur konungur. Hann elskar réttlæti. Réttvísi og heiðarleiki einkenna stjórnarfar hans. Þannig ríkir hann í Ísrael.
5 Praise Yahweh our God! Worship him [in front of the Sacred Chest in his temple] [MTY], where he rules people. He is holy!
Vegsamið Drottin, hinn heilaga Guð! Föllum fram við fótskör hans.
6 Moses and Aaron were two of his priests; Samuel also was someone who prayed to him. Those [three] cried out to Yahweh [to help them], and he answered them.
Móse og Aron voru prestar hans og Samúel spámaður hans. Þeir báðu til Drottins og hann bænheyrði þá.
7 He spoke to Moses and Aaron from the cloud [that was like a huge] pillar; they obeyed [all] the laws and commandments [DOU] that he gave to them.
Úr skýstólpa talaði hann við þá, þeir hlustuðu og hlýddu fyrirmælum hans.
8 Yahweh, our God, you answered [your people] [when they cried out to you to help them]; you are a God who forgave them [for those sins that they had committed], even though you punished them for the things that they did that are wrong.
Ó, Drottinn, þú ert okkar Guð! Þú svaraðir þeim og fyrirgafst syndir þeirra.
9 Praise Yahweh, our God, and worship him [at the temple] on his sacred hill; [it is right to do that] because Yahweh, our God, is holy!
Tignið Drottin Guð! Tilbiðjið hann í Jerúsalem á fjallinu helga. Hann er heilagur.
