Psalmi 19
1 Dāvida dziesma. Dziedātāju vadonim. Debesis izteic tā stiprā Dieva godu, un izplatījums pasludina Viņa roku darbu.
[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 Diena dienai to liecina, un nakts naktij to dara zināmu.
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 Nav ne valodas ne runas, kur viņu balsi nedzird.
They do not really speak; they do not say any words. There is no voice [from them] for anyone to hear.
4 Viņu skaņa iziet pa visu zemes virsu, un viņu valoda līdz pasaules galam. Viņš saulei telti tur darījis.
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 Un tā iziet kā brūtgāns no sava kambara, un priecājās kā kāds varonis ceļu tecēt.
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 No viena debess gala viņa uzlec un tek apkārt līdz otram galam, un priekš viņas karstuma nekas nav apslēpts.
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 Tā Kunga bauslība ir pilnīga un atspirdzina dvēseli, Tā Kunga liecība ir patiesīga un dara neprātīgo gudru.
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 Tā Kunga pavēles ir taisnas un dara sirdi priecīgu, Tā Kunga bauslis ir šķīsts un apskaidro acis.
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 Tā Kunga bijāšana ir šķīsta un pastāv mūžīgi, Tā Kunga tiesas ir patiesība un visas kopā taisnas.
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 Tās ir vairāk iekārojamas nekā zelts un daudz tīra zelta un, tās ir saldākas nekā medus un tīrs medus.
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 Arī tavs kalps caur tām top skaidri pamācīts, tam ir daudz algas, kas tās tur.
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 Kas samana tās maldīšanās? Šķīsti mani no apslēptām vainām.
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 Pasargi Savu kalpu arī no tīšiem grēkiem, ka tie nevalda pār mani; tad es būšu bezvainīgs un šķīsts no lielām pārkāpšanām.
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 Lai Tev patīk manas mutes valoda un manas sirds domas Tavā priekšā, ak Kungs, mans patvērums un mans Pestītājs.
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.
