Psalmien 132
1 Matkalaulu. Muista, Herra, Daavidin hyväksi kaikkia hänen vaivojansa,
Yahweh, do not forget [King] David and all the hardships/troubles he endured!
2 hänen, joka vannoi valan Herralle ja teki lupauksen Jaakobin Väkevälle:
He made a solemn promise to you, the mighty God whom [our ancestor] Jacob [worshiped].
3 "Minä en mene majaan, joka on minun kotini, enkä nouse vuoteeseeni, joka on minun leposijani,
He said, “I will not go home, I will not [rest] on my bed,
4 minä en suo silmilleni unta enkä silmäluomilleni lepoa,
I will not sleep at all
5 ennenkuin löydän sijan Herralle, asumuksen Jaakobin Väkevälle".
until I build a place for Yahweh, a home for the mighty God whom Jacob [worshiped].”
6 Katso, me kuulimme sen olevan Efratassa, me löysimme sen Jaarin kedoilta.
In Bethlehem we heard news about the sacred chest. We [went and] found it in the fields of Jearim [city, and we took it to Jerusalem].
7 Menkäämme hänen asumukseensa, kumartukaamme hänen jalkainsa astinlaudan eteen.
[Later we said], “Let’s go to the temple of Yahweh [in Jerusalem]; let’s worship [there] in front of the throne [where he sits].”
8 Nouse, Herra, leposijaasi, sinä ja sinun väkevyytesi arkki.
Yahweh, come to the place where you live eternally, to the place where your sacred chest is, to that place that shows that you are very powerful.
9 Sinun pappisi olkoot puetut vanhurskaudella, ja sinun hurskaasi riemuitkoot.
I want/desire that the righteous behavior of your priests [will always be evident], [just like the beautiful] robes that they wear [MET], and that your people will [always] shout joyfully.
10 Palvelijasi Daavidin tähden älä torju pois voideltusi kasvoja.
You chose David to serve you [as king of Israel]; do not reject/abandon him!
11 Herra on vannonut Daavidille totisen valan, jota hän ei peruuta: "Sinun ruumiisi hedelmän minä asetan sinun valtaistuimellesi.
Yahweh, you made a solemn promise to David, a promise that you will not break. You said, “I will cause your descendants to rule [MTY] as kings like you.
12 Jos sinun poikasi pitävät minun liittoni ja minun todistukseni, jotka minä heille opetan, niin saavat heidänkin poikansa istua sinun valtaistuimellasi iankaikkisesti."
If they keep my agreement with them and obey [all] the commands that I will give them, the line of kings descended from you will never end.”
13 Sillä Herra on valinnut Siionin, halunnut sen asunnoksensa:
Yahweh has chosen Jerusalem; he has wanted to make that city his home;
14 "Tämä on minun leposijani iankaikkisesti; tässä minä asun, sillä tänne on minun haluni ollut.
he said, “This is the city where I will live forever [DOU]; this is the place where I wanted to stay.
15 Siionin ravinnon minä runsaasti siunaan, sen köyhät minä leivällä ruokin.
I will give to the people of Jerusalem all that they need; I will give [enough] food [even] to satisfy the poor people there.
16 Sen papit minä puetan autuudella, ja sen hurskaat riemuiten riemuitkoot.
I will cause the priests [to behave in a manner worthy of] being ones whom I have saved; [that will be as evident as the beautiful] robes that they wear [MET]; and all my people who live there will shout joyfully.
17 Siellä minä annan yletä Daavidille sarven, sytytän voidellulleni lampun.
There [in Jerusalem] I will cause one of David’s descendants [MET] to become a great king; he also will be my chosen king, and he will be [like a bright] lamp [MET] [that shines continually].
18 Hänen vihollisensa minä puetan häpeällä, mutta hänen päässänsä loistaa hänen kruununsa."
I will [defeat his] enemies and cause them to be very ashamed/disgraced; but the crown that my king wears will [always] shine.”
