Psalmi 97
1 Gospod kraljuje, naj se zemlja veseli, naj bo množica otokov vesela le-tega.
Yahweh is the king! I want [everyone on] the earth to be glad/happy, and the [people who live on] the islands in the oceans to [also] rejoice [about that!]
2 Oblaki in tema so okoli njega. Pravičnost in sodba sta prebivališče njegovega prestola.
There are very dark clouds around him [to hide him]; he rules [MTY] righteously/justly and fairly.
3 Ogenj gre pred njim in naokrog požiga njegove sovražnike.
He [sends] fire in front of him, and he completely burns all his enemies in that fire.
4 Njegovi bliski so razsvetlili zemeljski [krog]; zemlja je videla in trepetala.
All around the world he causes lightning to flash; [people on] the earth see it, and it causes them to [be afraid and] tremble.
5 Hribi so se ob Gospodovi prisotnosti topili kakor vosek, ob prisotnosti Gospoda celotne zemlje.
The mountains/hills melt like wax in front of Yahweh, the one who is the Lord, [who rules] over all the earth.
6 Nebesa oznanjujejo njegovo pravičnost in vsa ljudstva vidijo njegovo slavo.
The [angels in] [MTY] heaven proclaim that he acts righteously, and all the people-groups see his glory.
7 Zbegani so vsi tisti, ki služijo rezanim podobam, ki se bahajo z maliki; obožujte ga, vsi vi bogovi.
Everyone who worships idols should be ashamed; all those who are proud of their false gods [should realize that their gods are useless], [It is as though] all those gods bow down [to worship] Yahweh.
8 Sion je slišal in je bil vesel in judovske hčere so se veselile zaradi tvojih sodb, oh Gospod.
[The people] [MTY] of Jerusalem hear [about Yahweh] and are glad/happy, and [people in the other] [MTY] cities in Judah [also] rejoice, because Yahweh judges [and punishes wicked people].
9 Kajti ti, Gospod, si dvignjen nad vso zemljo. Zelo si vzvišen nad vsemi bogovi.
Yahweh is the supreme [king] over all the earth; he has very great power, and all the [other] gods have no power at all.
10 Vi, ki ljubite Gospoda, sovražite zlo. On varuje duše svojih svetih; osvobaja jih iz roke zlobnega.
Yahweh loves those who hate what [people do that] is evil; he protects the lives of his people, and he rescues them when the wicked [people try to harm them].
11 Svetloba je posejana za pravičnega in veselje za iskrenega v srcu.
His light shines on righteous [people]; he causes those who are righteous to rejoice.
12 Veselite se v Gospodu, vi pravični in zahvaljujte se pri spominjanju njegove svetosti.
You righteous [people], rejoice about what Yahweh [has done], and thank him, our holy God!
