Salmos 115
1 No a nosotros, oh Señor, no a nosotros, sino a tu nombre démosle gloria, por tu misericordia y tu fe inmutable.
Yahweh, people should praise [only] you [MTY]; they must praise you, not us, because you faithfully love us and always do what you have promised to do.
2 ¿Por qué dirán las naciones: Dónde está ahora su Dios?
It is not right that [RHQ] [other] people-groups should say about us, “[They claim that] their God [is very powerful], but [if that is true], why does he not [help them]?”
3 Mas nuestro Dios está en el cielo; hizo todo lo que le agradaba.
Our God is in heaven, and he does whatever he wants to!
4 Sus imágenes son plata y oro, obra de manos de hombres.
[But] their idols are only [statues made of] silver and gold, things that humans have made.
5 Tienen bocas, pero no voz; tienen ojos, pero no ven;
Their idols have mouths, but they cannot say [anything]; they have eyes, but they cannot see [anything].
6 Tienen oídos, pero no oyen; tienen narices, pero no tienen olfato;
They have ears, but they cannot hear [anything]; they have noses, but they cannot smell [anything].
7 Tienen manos sin más no palpan. y pies sin poder de caminar; y ningún sonido sale de su garganta.
They have hands, but they cannot feel [anything]; they have feet, but they cannot walk, and they have throats but cannot [even] make any sounds!
8 Los que los hacen son como ellos; y también lo es cada uno que pone su fe en ellos.
The people who make those idols are [as powerless] as those idols, and those who trust in those idols [can accomplish nothing], just like their idols!
9 Israel, ten fe en el Señor; él es tu ayuda y tu coraza.
You, [my fellow] Israeli people, trust in Yahweh! He is the one who helps you and [protects you like] [MET] a shield.
10 Casa de Aarón, ten fe en el Señor; él es tu ayuda y tu escudo.
You priests [MTY], trust in Yahweh! He is the one who helps you and [protects you like] [MET] a shield.
11 Adoradores del Señor, ten fe en el Señor; él es tu ayuda y tu escudo.
[All] you who revere Yahweh, trust in him! He is the one who helps you and [protects you like] [MET] a shield.
12 El Señor nos ha tenido en cuenta y nos dará su bendición; él enviará bendiciones sobre la casa de Israel y sobre la casa de Aarón.
Yahweh has not forgotten us; he will bless us Israeli people [MTY]! He will bless the priests,
13 Él enviará bendiciones sobre los adoradores del Señor, sobre los pequeños y sobre los grandes.
and he will bless [all] those who revere him; he will bless important [people] and people [who are considered to be] unimportant, [everyone!]
14 Que el Señor les dé a ustedes y a sus hijos un mayor aumento.
I desire that Yahweh will give many children to you [my fellow-Israeli people], and to your descendants.
15 Que tengas la bendición del Señor, que hizo el cielo y la tierra.
I desire that Yahweh, the one who made heaven and the earth, will bless [all of] you!
16 Los cielos son del Señor; pero la tierra la ha dado a los hijos de los hombres.
The [highest] heavens belong to Yahweh, but he gave [everything that is on] the earth to [us] people.
17 Los muertos no alaban al Señor; o aquellos que descienden al inframundo.
Dead [people] are not [able to] praise Yahweh; when they descend into the place where dead people are, they are unable to speak and cannot praise him.
18 Pero alabaremos al Señor ahora y para siempre. Alabado sea el Señor.
But we [who are alive] will thank/praise him, now and forever. Praise Yahweh!
