Psalmi 147
1 Hvalite Gospoda, kajti dobro je peti hvalnice našemu Bogu, kajti to je prijetno in hvala je ljubka.
Praise Yahweh, for it is good to sing praises to our God, it is pleasant, and praise is suitable.
2 Gospod je zgradil Jeruzalem; skupaj zbira Izraelove pregnance.
Yahweh rebuilds Jerusalem, he gathers together the scattered people of Israel.
3 Ozdravlja potrte v srcu in povezuje njihove rane.
He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.
4 Šteje število zvezd, vse jih kliče po njihovih imenih.
He counts the stars, he gives names to all of them.
5 Velik je naš Gospod in zelo močan, njegovo razumevanje je neskončno.
Great is our Lord and awesome in power, his understanding cannot be measured.
6 Gospod dviguje krotke; zlobne podira k tlom.
Yahweh lifts up the oppressed, he brings the wicked down to the ground.
7 Pojte Gospodu z zahvaljevanjem, našemu Bogu pojte hvalo na harfo,
Sing to Yahweh with thanksgiving, sing praises to our God with a harp.
8 ki nebo pokriva z oblaki, ki za zemljo pripravlja dež, ki daje travi, da raste po gorah.
He covers the heavens with clouds and prepares rain for the earth, making the grass to grow on the mountains.
9 On daje živali njeno hrano in mladim krokarjem, ki kličejo.
He gives food to the animals and to the young ravens when they cry.
10 Ne razveseljuje se v moči konja. Ne veseli se človeških nog.
He finds no delight in the strength of a horse, he takes no pleasure in the strong legs of a man.
11 Gospod se veseli tistih, ki se ga bojijo, tistih, ki upajo v njegovo usmiljenje.
Yahweh takes pleasure in those who honor him, who hope in his covenant faithfulness.
12 Hvali Gospoda, oh Jeruzalem, hvali svojega Boga, oh Sion.
Praise Yahweh, Jerusalem, praise your God, Zion.
13 Kajti utrjuje zapahe tvojih velikih vrat, tvoje otroke je blagoslovil znotraj tebe.
For he strengthens the bars of your gates, he blesses your children among you.
14 Na tvojih mejah daje mir in te nasičuje z najodličnejšo pšenico.
He brings prosperity inside your borders, he satisfies you with the finest of wheat.
15 Svojo zapoved pošilja na zemljo; njegova beseda teče zelo naglo.
He sends out his commandment to earth, his command runs very swiftly.
16 Sneg daje kakor volno, slano razsiplje kakor pepel.
He makes the snow like wool, he scatters the frost like ashes.
17 Svoj led meče kakor koščke; kdo lahko obstane pred njegovim mrazom?
He dispenses the hail like crumbs, who can withstand the cold he sends?
18 Razpošilja svojo besedo in jih topi; svojemu vetru povzroča, da piha in vodam, [da] tečejo.
He sends out his command and melts them, he makes the wind to blow and the water to flow.
19 Svojo besedo kaže Jakobu, svoje zakone in svoje sodbe Izraelu.
He proclaimed his word to Jacob, his statutes and his righteous decrees to Israel.
20 Z nobenim narodom ni tako postopal in glede njegovih sodb, jih oni niso spoznali. Hvalite Gospoda.
He has not done so with any other nation, and as for his decrees, they do not know them. Praise Yahweh.
