Psalmien 99
1 Herra on kuningas, vaviskoot kansat-hän, jonka valtaistuinta kerubit kannattavat-huojukoon maa.
Yahweh is the [supreme] king, so [all] the people-groups should tremble ([in his presence/in front of him])! He sits on his throne [in the temple] above the [statues of] winged creatures, [so] the earth should quake/shake!
2 Suuri on Herra Siionissa, hän on korkea yli kaikkien kansojen.
Yahweh is a mighty [king] in Jerusalem; [but] he is [also] the supreme ruler of all people-groups.
3 He ylistävät sinun suurta ja peljättävää nimeäsi. Hän on pyhä.
[So] they should praise him because he is very great/powerful; and he is holy!
4 Se on kuninkaan voima, että hän rakastaa oikeutta. Sinä olet saattanut oikeuden voimaan, sinä toimitat oikeuden ja vanhurskauden Jaakobissa.
He is a mighty king who (loves/is pleased with) what is just/right; he has acted justly and fairly [DOU] in Israel.
5 Ylistäkää Herraa, meidän Jumalaamme, kumartukaa hänen jalkainsa astinlaudan eteen. Hän on pyhä.
Praise Yahweh our God! Worship him [in front of the Sacred Chest in his temple] [MTY], where he rules people. He is holy!
6 Mooses ja Aaron hänen pappiensa joukossa ja Samuel niiden joukossa, jotka avuksi huusivat hänen nimeänsä, he huusivat Herraa, ja hän vastasi heille.
Moses and Aaron were two of his priests; Samuel also was someone who prayed to him. Those [three] cried out to Yahweh [to help them], and he answered them.
7 Hän puhui heille pilvenpatsaasta; he noudattivat hänen todistuksiansa ja käskyjä, jotka hän oli heille antanut.
He spoke to Moses and Aaron from the cloud [that was like a huge] pillar; they obeyed [all] the laws and commandments [DOU] that he gave to them.
8 Herra, meidän Jumalamme, sinä vastasit heille, olit heille anteeksiantava Jumala, vaikka sinä heidän pahat tekonsa kostit.
Yahweh, our God, you answered [your people] [when they cried out to you to help them]; you are a God who forgave them [for those sins that they had committed], even though you punished them for the things that they did that are wrong.
9 Ylistäkää Herraa, meidän Jumalaamme, rukoilkaa kumartuneina hänen pyhää vuortansa kohti; sillä Herra, meidän Jumalamme, on pyhä.
Praise Yahweh, our God, and worship him [at the temple] on his sacred hill; [it is right to do that] because Yahweh, our God, is holy!
