Psalms 19
1 For the chief musician. A psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God, and the skies make his handiwork known!
Nebo oznanja Božjo slavo in nebesni svod prikazuje delo njegovih rok.
2 Day after day speech pours out; night after night it reveals knowledge.
Dan dnevu izreka govor in noč noči prikazuje znanje.
3 There is no speech or spoken words; their voice is not heard.
Ni ne govora, ne jezika, kjer ni slišati njihovega glasu.
4 Yet their words go out over all the earth, and their speech to the end of the world. He has pitched a tent for the sun among them.
Njihov stih gre po vsej zemlji in njihove besede do konca zemeljskega [kroga]. Vanje je postavil šotorsko svetišče za sonce,
5 The sun is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber and like a strong man who rejoices when he runs his race.
ki je kakor ženin, ki prihaja iz svoje sobe in se razveseljuje kakor močan mož, da teče tek.
6 The sun rises from the one horizon and crosses the sky to the other; nothing escapes its heat.
Njegovo prihajanje je od konca neba in njegov obhod do njegovih koncev. Nič ni skrito pred njegovo vročino.
7 The law of Yahweh is perfect, restoring the soul; the testimony of Yahweh is reliable, making the simple wise.
Gospodova postava je popolna, spreobrača dušo. Gospodovo pričevanje je zanesljivo, preprostega dela modrega.
8 The instructions of Yahweh are right, making the heart glad; the commandment of Yahweh is pure, bringing light to the eyes.
Gospodova pravila so pravilna, razveseljujejo srce. Gospodova zapoved je čista in razsvetljuje oči.
9 The fear of Yahweh is pure, enduring forever; the righteous decrees of Yahweh are true and altogether right!
Gospodov strah je čist, ostaja na veke. Gospodove sodbe so resnične in vse skupaj pravične.
10 They are of greater value than gold, even more than much fine gold; they are sweeter than honey and the dripping honey from the honeycomb.
Bolj si jih je želeti kakor zlata, da, kakor mnogo čistega zlata. Slajše so tudi kakor med in satovje.
11 Yes, by them your servant is warned; in obeying them there is great reward.
Poleg tega je tvoj služabnik posvarjen po njih. In v njihovem izpolnjevanju je velika nagrada.
12 Who can discern all his own errors? Cleanse me from hidden faults.
Kdo lahko razume njegove zmote? Očisti me pred skrivnimi krivdami.
13 Keep your servant also from arrogant sins; let them not rule over me. Then I will be perfect, and I will be innocent from many transgressions.
Svojega služabnika zadrži tudi pred prevzetnimi grehi; naj nimajo gospostva nad menoj. Potem bom lahko pošten in bom nedolžen pred velikim prestopkom.
14 May the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart be acceptable in your sight, Yahweh, my rock and my redeemer.
Naj bodo besede mojih ust in premišljevanje mojega srca sprejemljive v tvojem pogledu, oh Gospod, moja moč in moj odkupitelj.
