< 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!
Il Signore regna, tremino i popoli; siede sui cherubini, si scuota la terra.
2 Yahweh is a mighty [king] in Jerusalem; [but] he is [also] the supreme ruler of all people-groups.
Grande è il Signore in Sion, eccelso sopra tutti i popoli.
3 [So] they should praise him because he is very great/powerful; and he is holy!
Lodino il tuo nome grande e terribile, perché è santo.
4 He is a mighty king who (loves/is pleased with) what is just/right; he has acted justly and fairly [DOU] in Israel.
Re potente che ami la giustizia, tu hai stabilito ciò che è retto, diritto e giustizia tu eserciti in Giacobbe.
5 Praise Yahweh our God! Worship him [in front of the Sacred Chest in his temple] [MTY], where he rules people. He is holy!
Esaltate il Signore nostro Dio, prostratevi allo sgabello dei suoi piedi, perché è santo.
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.
Mosè e Aronne tra i suoi sacerdoti, Samuele tra quanti invocano il suo nome: invocavano il Signore ed egli rispondeva.
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.
Parlava loro da una colonna di nubi: obbedivano ai suoi comandi e alla legge che aveva loro dato.
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.
Signore, Dio nostro, tu li esaudivi, eri per loro un Dio paziente, pur castigando i loro peccati.
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!
Esaltate il Signore nostro Dio, prostratevi davanti al suo monte santo, perché santo è il Signore, nostro Dio.
