< Zsoltárok 19 >
1 A karmesternek. Zsoltár Dávidtól. Az egek elbeszélik Isten dicsőségét, s kezei művét hirdeti a boltozat.
[When people look at everything that] God [has placed in] the skies, they can see that he is very great; they can see the great things that he has created.
2 Nap napnak ömledeztet beszédet, és éjszaka éjszakával közöl tudást.
Day after day [it is as though the sun] proclaims [the glory of God], and night after night [it is as though the moon and stars] say that they know [that God made them].
3 Nincs beszéd, nincsenek szavak, nem hallható a hangjuk.
They do not really speak; they do not say any words. There is no voice [from them] for anyone to hear.
4 Az egész földre kiterjedt a rendjük, és a világ szélére az igéik, a napnak sátrat vont rajtuk.
But what they declare [about God] goes throughout the world, and [even people who live in] the most distant/remote places on earth can know it. The sun is in the skies where God placed it [MET];
5 Az pedig olyan, mint vőlegény, a ki mennyezetéből jön ki, örvend mint hős, hogy megfutja a pályát.
it rises each morning like a bridegroom [who is happy] as he comes out of his bedroom after his wedding. It is like a strong athlete who is very eager to start running in a race.
6 Az egek széléről van kijövetele, s körfutása azoknak szélein, és nincs mi rejtve van a hevétől.
The sun rises at one side of the sky and goes across [the sky and sets on] the other side, and nothing can hide from its heat.
7 Az Örökkévaló tana gáncstalan, felüdíti a lelket; az Örökkévaló bizonysága hűséges, bölcscsé teszi az együgyűt;
The instructions that Yahweh has given us are perfect; they (revive us/give us new strength). We can be sure that the things that Yahweh has told us will never change, and [by learning them] people who have not been previously taught/instructed will become wise.
8 az Örökkévaló rendeletei egyenesek, megörvendeztetik a szívet; az Örökkévaló parancsa fényes, megvilágosítja a szemeket;
Yahweh’s laws are fair/just; [when we obey them], we become joyful. The commands of Yahweh are clear, and [by reading them] [PRS] we start to understand [how God wants us to behave].
9 az Örökkévaló félelme tiszta, fennáll örökké; az Örökkévaló ítéletei igazság, jogosak egyaránt.
It is good for people to revere Yahweh; that is something that they will do forever. What Yahweh has decided is fair, and it is always right.
10 Kivánatosbak azok aranynál és sok színaranynál, és édesebbek méznél, s csúrgó színméznél.
The things that God has decided are more valuable than gold, even the finest/purest gold. They are sweeter than honey that drips from honeycombs.
11 Szolgád is meginteti magát általuk; megőrzésökben nagy jutalom van.
Furthermore, [by reading them] I learn [what things are good to do and what things are evil], and they promise a great reward to [us who] obey them.
12 Tévedéseket ki vehet észre? rejtett dolgoktól tisztává tégy engem!
But there is no one who can know all his errors [RHQ]; so Yahweh, forgive me for these things which I do that I do not realize are wrong.
13 Gonosz szándéktól is tartóztasd szolgádat, ne uralkodjék rajtam; akkor gáncstalan leszek és tisztává leszek nagy bűntől.
Keep me from doing things that I know are wrong; do not let my sinful desires control me. If you do that, I will no longer be guilty for committing such sins, and I will not commit the great sin [of rebelling terribly] against you.
14 Legyenek kedvességre szájam beszédei és szívem gondolata előtted, oh Örökkévaló, sziklám és megváltóm!
O Yahweh, you are [like] an [overhanging] rock [MET] under which I can be safe; you are the one who protects me. I hope/desire that the things that I say and what I think will [always] please you.
