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!
Herren er konge, folki skjelv; han sit på kerubar, jordi ruggar.
2 Yahweh is a mighty [king] in Jerusalem; [but] he is [also] the supreme ruler of all people-groups.
Herren er stor i Sion, og høg er han yver alle folk.
3 [So] they should praise him because he is very great/powerful; and he is holy!
Dei skal prisa ditt namn, det store og skræmelege, heilag er han.
4 He is a mighty king who (loves/is pleased with) what is just/right; he has acted justly and fairly [DOU] in Israel.
Og i si magt elskar kongen det som rett er; du held rettvisa uppe, du hev gjort rett og rettferd i Jakob.
5 Praise Yahweh our God! Worship him [in front of the Sacred Chest in his temple] [MTY], where he rules people. He is holy!
Høglova Herren, vår Gud, og fall ned for hans fotskammel! Heilag er han.
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.
Moses og Aron var millom hans prestar, og Samuel millom deim som kalla på hans namn; dei ropa til Herren, og han svara deim.
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.
I ein skystolpe tala han til deim, dei heldt hans vitnemål og den lov han gav deim.
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.
Herre vår Gud, du svara deim, du var deim ein Gud som tilgav deim, men og ein hemnar yver deira gjerningar.
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!
Høglova Herren, vår Gud! Og fall ned for hans heilage fjell! For heilag er Herren, vår Gud.
