Psalms 48
1 A Song, a Psalm, by sons of Korah. Great [is] Jehovah, and praised greatly, In the city of our God — His holy hill.
Pjesma. Psalam. Sinova Korahovih. Velik je Jahve, hvale predostojan u gradu Boga našega.
2 Beautiful [for] elevation, A joy of all the land, [is] Mount Zion, The sides of the north, the city of a great king.
Sveto brdo njegovo, brijeg veličanstven, radost je zemlji svoj. Gora Sion, na krajnjem sjeveru, grad je Kralja velikog.
3 God in her high places is known for a tower.
Bog u kulama njegovim jakom se pokaza utvrdom.
4 For, lo, the kings met, they passed by together,
Jer gle, složiše se kraljevi, navališe zajedno.
5 They have seen — so they have marvelled, They have been troubled, they were hastened away.
Čim vidješe, zapanjiše se i zbunjeni u bijeg nagnuše.
6 Trembling hath seized them there, Pain, as of a travailing woman.
Ondje ih trepet obuze kao muka porodilje,
7 By an east wind Thou shiverest ships of Tarshish.
kao kad vjetar istočni razbija brodove taršiške.
8 As we have heard, so we have seen, In the city of Jehovah of hosts, In the city of our God, God doth establish her — to the age. (Selah)
Što smo čuli, sada vidimo: grad Jahve nad Vojskama, grad Boga našega - Bog ga utvrdi dovijeka.
9 We have thought, O God, of Thy kindness, In the midst of Thy temple,
Spominjemo se, Bože, tvoje dobrote usred Hrama tvojega.
10 As [is] Thy name, O God, so [is] Thy praise, Over the ends of the earth, Righteousness hath filled Thy right hand.
Kao ime tvoje, Bože, tako i slava tvoja do nakraj zemlje doseže. Puna je pravde desnica tvoja; neka se raduje brdo sionsko!
11 Rejoice doth Mount Zion, The daughters of Judah are joyful, For the sake of Thy judgments.
Neka kliču gradovi Judini zbog tvojih sudova!
12 Compass Zion, and go round her, count her towers,
Obiđite Sion i prođite njime, prebrojite kule njegove!
13 Set your heart to her bulwark, Consider her high places, So that ye recount to a later generation,
Pogledajte dobro bedeme njegove, promotrite mu potanko dvorove: da biste kazivali budućem koljenu:
14 That this God [is] our God — To the age and for ever, He — he doth lead us over death!
“Takav je Bog, Bog naš zasvagda i dovijeka! On neka nas vodi!”
