< Psalmi 132 >

1 Hodočasnička pjesma.
A song of ascents. Remember, O Lord, David all his sufferings,
2 Spomeni se, o Jahve, Davida i sve revnosti njegove: kako se Jahvi zakleo, zavjetovao Snazi Jakovljevoj:
the oath that he swore to the Lord, and his vow to the Strong One of Jacob,
3 “Neću ući u šator doma svog nit' uzaći na ležaj svoje postelje,
never to enter his tent, never to lie on his bed,
4 neću pustit' snu na oči nit' počinka dati vjeđama,
never to give his eyes sleep or his eyelids slumber,
5 dok Jahvi mjesto ne nađem, boravište Snazi Jakovljevoj.”
till he had found a place for the Lord, for the Strong One of Jacob to live in.
6 Eto, čusmo za nj u Efrati, nađosmo ga u Poljima jaarskim.
We heard of it in Ephrathah, in the fields of Jaar we found it.
7 Uđimo u stan njegov, pred noge mu padnimo!
We went to the place where he dwelt, we bowed ourselves low at his footstool.
8 “Ustani, o Jahve, pođi k svom počivalištu, ti i Kovčeg sile tvoje!
“Arise, Lord, and enter your resting-place, you and your mighty ark.
9 Svećenici tvoji nek' se obuku u pravednost, pobožnici tvoji nek' radosno kliču!
Let your priests wear a garment of righteousness, your faithful shout aloud for joy.
10 Poradi Davida, sluge svojega, ne odvrati lica od svog pomazanika!”
For the sake of David your servant, do not reject your Anointed.”
11 Jahve se zakle Davidu zakletvom tvrdom od koje neće odustati: “Potomka tvoje utrobe posadit ću na prijestolje tvoje.
The Lord swore an oath to David an oath that he will not break; “I will set on your throne a prince of your line.
12 Budu li ti sinovi Savez moj čuvali i naredbe kojima ih učim, i sinovi će njini dovijeka sjedit' na tvom prijestolju.”
If your sons keep my covenant and the statutes I teach them, then their sons, too, forever, will sit on your throne.”
13 Jer Jahve odabra Sion, njega zaželje sebi za sjedište.
For the choice of the Lord is Zion; she is the home of his heart.
14 “Ovo mi je počivalište vječno, boravit ću ovdje jer tako poželjeh.
“This is forever my resting-place, this is the home of my heart.
15 Žitak ću njegov blagosloviti, siromahe nahraniti kruhom.
I will royally bless her provision, and give bread to her poor in abundance.
16 Svećenike njegove u spas ću odjenuti, sveti će njegovi kliktati radosno.
Her priests I will clothe with salvation; her faithful will shout for joy.
17 Učinit ću da ondje za Davida rog izraste, pripravit ću svjetiljku za svog pomazanika.
There will I raise up for David a dynasty of power. I have set my anointed a lamp that shall never go out.
18 U sram ću mu obući dušmane, a na njemu će blistat' vijenac moj.”
Robes of shame I will put on his foes, but on his head a glittering crown.”
