Psalmi 15

1 Gospod, kdo bo prebival v tvojem šotorskem svetišču? Kdo bo prebival na tvoji sveti gori?

Yahweh, who are allowed to enter your Sacred Tent? Who are allowed to live on your sacred mountain?

2 Kdor živi pošteno in dela pravično in v svojem srcu govori resnico.

Only those who always do what is right and do not sin may do that. They always say what is true

3 Kdor ne opravlja s svojim jezikom niti ne dela zla svojemu bližnjemu niti ne sprejema graje zoper svojega bližnjega.

and they do not slander others. They do not do to others things that are wrong, and they do not say bad things about others.

4 V čigar očeh je podla oseba zaničevana, toda počasti tiste, ki se bojijo Gospoda. Ki prisega v svojo lastno škodo in se ne premisli.

[Godly people] hate those whom God has rejected, but they respect those who revere Yahweh. They do what they have promised to do even if it causes them trouble to do that.

5 Kdor ne izdaja svojega denarja za obresti niti ne sprejema nagrade zoper nedolžnega. Kdor dela te stvari, nikoli ne bo omajan.

They lend money to others without charging interest, and they never accept bribes in order to lie about people who have not done what is wrong. Those who do those things will never stop trusting God [even if disastrous things happen to them].
