Psalms 19
1 To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David. The heavens [are] recounting the honour of God, And the work of His hands The expanse [is] declaring.
Nebo oznanja Božjo slavo in nebesni svod prikazuje delo njegovih rok.
2 Day to day uttereth speech, And night to night sheweth knowledge.
Dan dnevu izreka govor in noč noči prikazuje znanje.
3 There is no speech, and there are no words. Their voice hath not been heard.
Ni ne govora, ne jezika, kjer ni slišati njihovega glasu.
4 Into all the earth hath their line gone forth, And to the end of the world their sayings, For the sun He placed a tent in them,
Njihov stih gre po vsej zemlji in njihove besede do konca zemeljskega [kroga]. Vanje je postavil šotorsko svetišče za sonce,
5 And he, as a bridegroom, goeth out from his covering, He rejoiceth as a mighty one To run the path.
ki je kakor ženin, ki prihaja iz svoje sobe in se razveseljuje kakor močan mož, da teče tek.
6 From the end of the heavens [is] his going out, And his revolution [is] unto their ends, And nothing is hid from his heat.
Njegovo prihajanje je od konca neba in njegov obhod do njegovih koncev. Nič ni skrito pred njegovo vročino.
7 The law of Jehovah [is] perfect, refreshing the soul, The testimonies of Jehovah [are] stedfast, Making wise the simple,
Gospodova postava je popolna, spreobrača dušo. Gospodovo pričevanje je zanesljivo, preprostega dela modrega.
8 The precepts of Jehovah [are] upright, Rejoicing the heart, The command of Jehovah [is] pure, enlightening the eyes,
Gospodova pravila so pravilna, razveseljujejo srce. Gospodova zapoved je čista in razsvetljuje oči.
9 The fear of Jehovah [is] clean, standing to the age, The judgments of Jehovah [are] true, They have been righteous — together.
Gospodov strah je čist, ostaja na veke. Gospodove sodbe so resnične in vse skupaj pravične.
10 They are more desirable than gold, Yea, than much fine gold; and sweeter than honey, Even liquid honey of the comb.
Bolj si jih je želeti kakor zlata, da, kakor mnogo čistega zlata. Slajše so tudi kakor med in satovje.
11 Also — Thy servant is warned by them, 'In keeping them [is] a great reward.'
Poleg tega je tvoj služabnik posvarjen po njih. In v njihovem izpolnjevanju je velika nagrada.
12 Errors! who doth understand? From hidden ones declare me innocent,
Kdo lahko razume njegove zmote? Očisti me pred skrivnimi krivdami.
13 Also — from presumptuous ones keep back Thy servant, Let them not rule over me, Then am I perfect, And declared innocent of much transgression,
Svojega služabnika zadrži tudi pred prevzetnimi grehi; naj nimajo gospostva nad menoj. Potem bom lahko pošten in bom nedolžen pred velikim prestopkom.
14 Let the sayings of my mouth, And the meditation of my heart, Be for a pleasing thing before Thee, O Jehovah, 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.
