Psalmi 147
1 Hvalite Gospoda, kajti dobro je peti hvalnice našemu Bogu, kajti to je prijetno in hvala je ljubka.
Praise JAH, for it is good to sing praises to our God; for it is pleasant and fitting to praise him.
2 Gospod je zgradil Jeruzalem; skupaj zbira Izraelove pregnance.
YHWH builds up Jerusalem. He gathers together the outcasts of Israel.
3 Ozdravlja potrte v srcu in povezuje njihove rane.
He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds.
4 Šteje število zvezd, vse jih kliče po njihovih imenih.
He counts the number of the stars. He calls them all by their names.
5 Velik je naš Gospod in zelo močan, njegovo razumevanje je neskončno.
Great is our Lord, and mighty in power. His understanding is infinite.
6 Gospod dviguje krotke; zlobne podira k tlom.
YHWH upholds the humble. He brings the wicked down to the ground.
7 Pojte Gospodu z zahvaljevanjem, našemu Bogu pojte hvalo na harfo,
Sing to YHWH with thanksgiving. Sing praises on the harp to our God,
8 ki nebo pokriva z oblaki, ki za zemljo pripravlja dež, ki daje travi, da raste po gorah.
who covers the sky with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who makes grass grow on the mountains.
9 On daje živali njeno hrano in mladim krokarjem, ki kličejo.
He provides food for the livestock, and for the young ravens when they call.
10 Ne razveseljuje se v moči konja. Ne veseli se človeških nog.
He doesn't delight in the strength of the horse. He takes no pleasure in the legs of a man.
11 Gospod se veseli tistih, ki se ga bojijo, tistih, ki upajo v njegovo usmiljenje.
YHWH takes pleasure in those who fear him, in those who hope in his loving kindness.
12 Hvali Gospoda, oh Jeruzalem, hvali svojega Boga, oh Sion.
Praise YHWH, Jerusalem. Praise your God, Zion.
13 Kajti utrjuje zapahe tvojih velikih vrat, tvoje otroke je blagoslovil znotraj tebe.
For he has strengthened the bars of your gates. He has blessed your children within you.
14 Na tvojih mejah daje mir in te nasičuje z najodličnejšo pšenico.
He makes peace in your borders. He fills you with the finest of the wheat.
15 Svojo zapoved pošilja na zemljo; njegova beseda teče zelo naglo.
He sends out his commandment to the earth. His word runs very swiftly.
16 Sneg daje kakor volno, slano razsiplje kakor pepel.
He gives snow like wool, and scatters frost like ashes.
17 Svoj led meče kakor koščke; kdo lahko obstane pred njegovim mrazom?
He hurls down his hail like pebbles. Who can stand before his cold?
18 Razpošilja svojo besedo in jih topi; svojemu vetru povzroča, da piha in vodam, [da] tečejo.
He sends out his word, and melts them. He causes his wind to blow, and the waters flow.
19 Svojo besedo kaže Jakobu, svoje zakone in svoje sodbe Izraelu.
He shows his word to Jacob; his statutes and his ordinances to Israel.
20 Z nobenim narodom ni tako postopal in glede njegovih sodb, jih oni niso spoznali. Hvalite Gospoda.
He has not done this for just any nation. They do not know his ordinances. Praise JAH.
