< Psalmi 66 >
1 Naredite radosten glas Bogu, vse ve dežele,
For the leader. A song. A psalm. Shout to God, all the earth,
2 pojte čast njegovemu imenu, njegovo hvalo naredite veličastno.
sing praise to his glorious name, sing his glorious praise.
3 Recite Bogu: »Kako strašen si v svojih delih! Zaradi veličine tvoje moči se ti bodo podredili tvoji sovražniki.
Say to God, “How dread are your works, so great is your might that your enemies cringe to you.
4 Vsa zemlja te bo oboževala in ti prepevala, prepevali bodo k tvojemu imenu.« (Sela)
All the earth does homage to you, singing praises to you, singing praise to your name.” (Selah)
5 Pridite in glejte dela Boga. Strašen je v svojem delovanju do človeških otrok.
Come and see what God has done, awe-inspiring is he in his works among people.
6 Morje je spremenil v kopno zemljo. Skozi rečni tok so šli peš, tam smo se veselili v njem.
He turns the sea into dry land, and people cross the river on foot. Let us therefore rejoice in him,
7 S svojo močjo vlada na veke, njegove oči opazujejo narode; naj se uporni ne povišujejo. (Sela)
the mighty Ruler eternal, whose eyes keep watch on the nations, that no rebel lift up his head. (Selah)
8 Oh blagoslavljajte našega Boga, ve ljudstva in storite, da se sliši glas njegove hvale,
O bless our God, you peoples; sound aloud his praise,
9 ki našo dušo drži pri življenju in ne pusti, da bi bila naša stopala premaknjena.
who keeps us in life, and keeps our feet from slipping.
10 Kajti ti, oh Bog, si nas potrdil, preizkusil si nas, kakor je preizkušeno srebro.
For you, God, have tested us, have tried us, as silver is tried.
11 Privedel si nas v mrežo, na naša ledja polagaš stisko.
You did bring us into prison, and put chains upon us,
12 Ljudem si storil, da jahajo nad našimi glavami. Šli smo skozi ogenj in skozi vodo, toda ti si nas privedel v premožen kraj.
you did let people ride over our head. We went through fire and through water, but you led us out to a spacious place.
13 V tvojo hišo bom šel z žgalnimi daritvami, izpolnil ti bom svoje zaobljube,
I will enter your house with burnt-offerings, I will pay to you my vows,
14 ki so jih izrekle moje ustnice in spregovorila moja usta, ko sem bil v stiski.
which my open lips have uttered, arid my mouth has declared in my straits.
15 Daroval ti bom žgalne daritve pitancev s kadilom ovnov, daroval ti bom bikce s kozli. (Sela)
I will offer you offerings of fatlings, with the odour of burning rams, I will sacrifice bullocks with goats. (Selah)
16 Pridite in prisluhnite vsi vi, ki se bojite Boga in oznanil vam bom, kaj je storil za mojo dušo.
Come and hear my story all who fear God – of what he has done for me.
17 K njemu sem klical s svojimi usti in povzdignjen je bil z mojim jezikom.
For my mouth had no sooner invoked him than his praise was under my tongue.
18 Če v svojem srcu upoštevam krivičnost, me Gospod ne bo uslišal,
Had I cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would never have listened.
19 toda Bog me je resnično uslišal, prisluhnil je glasu moje molitve.
But assuredly God has listened, and attended to my loud prayer.
20 Blagoslovljen bodi Bog, ki ni odklonil moje molitve niti svojega usmiljenja od mene.
Blessed be God, who turned not aside my prayer, nor withdrew his kindness from me.
