ગીતશાસ્ત્ર 48
1 ૧ ગાયન; કોરાના દીકરાઓનું ગીત. આપણા ઈશ્વરના નગરમાં તેમના પવિત્ર પર્વતમાં યહોવાહ મહાન છે અને ઘણા સ્તુત્યમાન છે.
Yahweh is great, and he deserves to be greatly praised in the city where he [lives], [which is built on Zion], his sacred hill.
That city, on a high [hill], is beautiful; it is the city where the true [God], the great king, [lives], and it causes people all over the world to rejoice [when they see it].
God is in the strong towers there, and he shows that he protects the people in that city.
Many kings gathered [with their armies] to attack [that city],
but when they saw it, they were amazed; they became terrified, and ran away.
Because they were very afraid, they trembled like a woman who is about to give birth to a child;
they shook [like] ships sailing from Tarshish are shaken by a strong wind.
8 ૮ જેમ આપણે સાંભળ્યું હતું તેમ સૈન્યોના સરદાર યહોવાહના નગરમાં, આપણા ઈશ્વરના નગરમાં, આપણે જોયું છે; ઈશ્વર સદાકાળ તેને સ્થિર કરશે. (સેલાહ)
We had heard [that this city is glorious], and now we have seen that it is. It is the city in which Yahweh, the almighty one, [lives]. It is the city which God will preserve/protect forever.
God, [here] in your temple we think about how you faithfully love us.
10 ૧૦ હે ઈશ્વર, જેવું તમારું નામ છે, તેવી તમારી સ્તુતિ પણ પૃથ્વીના અંત સુધી છે; તમારો જમણો હાથ ન્યાયીપણાથી ભરેલો છે.
You [MTY] are famous and (are praised/people praise you) all over the earth, because you rule powerfully [MTY] and justly.
The people who live near Zion Hill should be happy! The people in [all] the cities [MTY] in Judah should rejoice because you judge people fairly.
[You Israeli people should] walk around Zion [Hill] and count the towers there;
notice the walls there and examine the forts in order that you can tell about them to your children.
[Say to them], “This is [the city that belongs to] our God, [the one who lives] forever; he will guide us all of our lives.”
