Psalmi 19
1 Nebo oznanja Božjo slavo in nebesni svod prikazuje delo njegovih rok.
For the chief musician. A psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God, and the skies make his handiwork known!
2 Dan dnevu izreka govor in noč noči prikazuje znanje.
Day after day speech pours out; night after night it reveals knowledge.
3 Ni ne govora, ne jezika, kjer ni slišati njihovega glasu.
There is no speech or spoken words; their voice is not heard.
4 Njihov stih gre po vsej zemlji in njihove besede do konca zemeljskega [kroga]. Vanje je postavil šotorsko svetišče za sonce,
Yet their words go out over all the earth, and their speech to the end of the world. He has pitched a tent for the sun among them.
5 ki je kakor ženin, ki prihaja iz svoje sobe in se razveseljuje kakor močan mož, da teče tek.
The sun is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber and like a strong man who rejoices when he runs his race.
6 Njegovo prihajanje je od konca neba in njegov obhod do njegovih koncev. Nič ni skrito pred njegovo vročino.
The sun rises from the one horizon and crosses the sky to the other; nothing escapes its heat.
7 Gospodova postava je popolna, spreobrača dušo. Gospodovo pričevanje je zanesljivo, preprostega dela modrega.
The law of Yahweh is perfect, restoring the soul; the testimony of Yahweh is reliable, making the simple wise.
8 Gospodova pravila so pravilna, razveseljujejo srce. Gospodova zapoved je čista in razsvetljuje oči.
The instructions of Yahweh are right, making the heart glad; the commandment of Yahweh is pure, bringing light to the eyes.
9 Gospodov strah je čist, ostaja na veke. Gospodove sodbe so resnične in vse skupaj pravične.
The fear of Yahweh is pure, enduring forever; the righteous decrees of Yahweh are true and altogether right!
10 Bolj si jih je želeti kakor zlata, da, kakor mnogo čistega zlata. Slajše so tudi kakor med in satovje.
They are of greater value than gold, even more than much fine gold; they are sweeter than honey and the dripping honey from the honeycomb.
11 Poleg tega je tvoj služabnik posvarjen po njih. In v njihovem izpolnjevanju je velika nagrada.
Yes, by them your servant is warned; in obeying them there is great reward.
12 Kdo lahko razume njegove zmote? Očisti me pred skrivnimi krivdami.
Who can discern all his own errors? Cleanse me from hidden faults.
13 Svojega služabnika zadrži tudi pred prevzetnimi grehi; naj nimajo gospostva nad menoj. Potem bom lahko pošten in bom nedolžen pred velikim prestopkom.
Keep your servant also from arrogant sins; let them not rule over me. Then I will be perfect, and I will be innocent from many transgressions.
14 Naj bodo besede mojih ust in premišljevanje mojega srca sprejemljive v tvojem pogledu, oh Gospod, moja moč in moj odkupitelj.
May the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart be acceptable in your sight, Yahweh, my rock and my redeemer.
