< Psalms 132 >
1 A Song of degrees. LORD, remember David [and] all his afflictions;
Gospod, spomni se Davida in vseh njegovih stisk,
2 How he swore to the LORD, [and] vowed to the mighty [God] of Jacob;
kako je prisegel Gospodu in se zaobljubil mogočnemu Jakobovemu Bogu:
3 Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed;
»Zagotovo ne bom prišel v šotorsko svetišče svoje hiše niti šel gor v svojo posteljo,
4 I will not give sleep to my eyes, [or] slumber to my eyelids,
svojim očem ne bom dal spanja ali dremanja svojim vekam,
5 Until I find a place for the LORD, a habitation for the mighty [God] of Jacob.
dokler ne najdem kraja za Gospoda, prebivališča za mogočnega Jakobovega Boga.«
6 Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood.
Glej, slišali smo o tem v Efráti, našli smo to na gozdnih poljih.
7 We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool.
Šli bomo v njegova šotorska svetišča, oboževali bomo ob njegovi pručki.
8 Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength.
Vstani, oh Gospod, v svoj počitek, ti in skrinja tvoje moči.
9 Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy.
Naj bodo tvoji duhovniki oblečeni s pravičnostjo in tvoji sveti naj vzklikajo od veselja.
10 For thy servant David's sake turn not away the face of thy anointed.
Zaradi svojega služabnika Davida ne obrni obličja proč od svojega maziljenca.
11 The LORD hath sworn [in] truth to David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.
Gospod je Davidu prisegel z resnico; ne bo se odvrnil od nje: »Od sadu tvojega telesa bom postavil na tvoj prestol.
12 If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them; their children also shall sit upon thy throne for ever.
Če se bodo tvoji otroci držali moje zaveze in mojega pričevanja, ki jih ga bom jaz učil, bodo tudi njihovi otroci sedeli na tvojem prestolu na vékomaj.«
13 For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired [it] for his habitation.
Kajti Gospod je izbral Sion; zaželel si ga je za svoje prebivališče.
14 This [is] my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.
»To je moj počitek na veke; tu bom prebival, ker sem si ga zaželel.
15 I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.
Obilno bom blagoslavljal njegovo preskrbo, njegove uboge bom nasičeval s kruhom.
16 I will also clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.
Prav tako bom njegove duhovnike oblekel z rešitvijo duš in njegovi sveti bodo glasno vzklikali od veselja.
17 There will I make the horn of David to bud, I have ordained a lamp for my anointed.
Tam bom storil Davidovemu rogu, da vzbrsti; odredil sem svetilko za svojega maziljenca.
18 His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish.
Njegove sovražnike bom oblekel s sramoto, toda na njem samem bo cvetela njegova krona.«
