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.

Velik je Gospod in silno bodi hvaljen v mestu našega Boga, na gori njegove svetosti.

2 Beautiful [for] elevation, A joy of all the land, [is] Mount Zion, The sides of the north, the city of a great king.

Lepa zaradi lege, radost celotne zemlje, je gora Sion na straneh severa, mesto vélikega Kralja.

3 God in her high places is known for a tower.

Bog je v njenih palačah razpoznan za zatočišče.

4 For, lo, the kings met, they passed by together,

Kajti, glej, kralji so bili zbrani, skupaj so šli mimo.

5 They have seen — so they have marvelled, They have been troubled, they were hastened away.

Videli so to in tako so se čudili; bili so vznemirjeni in odhiteli.

6 Trembling hath seized them there, Pain, as of a travailing woman.

Tam sta jih prevzela strah in bolečina kakor žensko v porodnih mukah.

7 By an east wind Thou shiverest ships of Tarshish.

Z vzhodnikom lomiš ladje iz Taršíša.

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)

Kakor smo slišali, tako smo videli v mestu Gospoda nad bojevniki, v mestu svojega Boga. Bog ga bo utrdil na veke. (Sela)

9 We have thought, O God, of Thy kindness, In the midst of Thy temple,

Premišljevali smo o tvoji ljubeči skrbnosti, oh Bog, v sredi tvojega templja.

10 As [is] Thy name, O God, so [is] Thy praise, Over the ends of the earth, Righteousness hath filled Thy right hand.

Glede na tvoje ime, oh Bog, taka je tvoja hvala do koncev zemlje. Tvoja desnica je polna pravičnosti.

11 Rejoice doth Mount Zion, The daughters of Judah are joyful, For the sake of Thy judgments.

Naj se gora Sion veseli, naj bodo Judove hčere radostne zaradi tvojih sodb.

12 Compass Zion, and go round her, count her towers,

Hodite okoli Siona in ga obhodite, štejte njegove stolpe.

13 Set your heart to her bulwark, Consider her high places, So that ye recount to a later generation,

Dobro označite njegove branike, opazujte njegove palače, da boste to lahko pripovedovali naslednjemu rodu.

14 That this God [is] our God — To the age and for ever, He — he doth lead us over death!

Kajti ta Bog je naš Bog na veke vekov. On bo naš vodnik celó do smrti.
