Psalmi 48
1 Velik je Gospod in silno bodi hvaljen v mestu našega Boga, na gori njegove svetosti.
Yahweh is great, and he deserves to be greatly praised in the city where he [lives], [which is built on Zion], his sacred hill.
2 Lepa zaradi lege, radost celotne zemlje, je gora Sion na straneh severa, mesto vélikega Kralja.
That city, on a high [hill], is beautiful; it is the city where the true [God], the great king, [lives], and it causes people all over the world to rejoice [when they see it].
3 Bog je v njenih palačah razpoznan za zatočišče.
God is in the strong towers there, and he shows that he protects the people in that city.
4 Kajti, glej, kralji so bili zbrani, skupaj so šli mimo.
Many kings gathered [with their armies] to attack [that city],
5 Videli so to in tako so se čudili; bili so vznemirjeni in odhiteli.
but when they saw it, they were amazed; they became terrified, and ran away.
6 Tam sta jih prevzela strah in bolečina kakor žensko v porodnih mukah.
Because they were very afraid, they trembled like a woman who is about to give birth to a child;
7 Z vzhodnikom lomiš ladje iz Taršíša.
they shook [like] ships sailing from Tarshish are shaken by a strong wind.
8 Kakor smo slišali, tako smo videli v mestu Gospoda nad bojevniki, v mestu svojega Boga. Bog ga bo utrdil na veke. (Sela)
We had heard [that this city is glorious], and now we have seen that it is. It is the city in which Yahweh, the almighty one, [lives]. It is the city which God will preserve/protect forever.
9 Premišljevali smo o tvoji ljubeči skrbnosti, oh Bog, v sredi tvojega templja.
God, [here] in your temple we think about how you faithfully love us.
10 Glede na tvoje ime, oh Bog, taka je tvoja hvala do koncev zemlje. Tvoja desnica je polna pravičnosti.
You [MTY] are famous and (are praised/people praise you) all over the earth, because you rule powerfully [MTY] and justly.
11 Naj se gora Sion veseli, naj bodo Judove hčere radostne zaradi tvojih sodb.
The people who live near Zion Hill should be happy! The people in [all] the cities [MTY] in Judah should rejoice because you judge people fairly.
12 Hodite okoli Siona in ga obhodite, štejte njegove stolpe.
[You Israeli people should] walk around Zion [Hill] and count the towers there;
13 Dobro označite njegove branike, opazujte njegove palače, da boste to lahko pripovedovali naslednjemu rodu.
notice the walls there and examine the forts in order that you can tell about them to your children.
14 Kajti ta Bog je naš Bog na veke vekov. On bo naš vodnik celó do smrti.
[Say to them], “This is [the city that belongs to] our God, [the one who lives] forever; he will guide us all of our lives.”
