Psalmi 147
1 Aleluja! Hvalite Jahvu jer je dobar, pjevajte Bogu našem jer je sladak; svake hvale on je dostojan!
Hallelujah. It is good to sing praise to our God, for praise is sweet and seemly.
2 Jahve gradi Jeruzalem, sabire raspršene Izraelce.
The Lord builds up Jerusalem, the outcasts of Israel he gathers.
3 On liječi one koji su srca skršena i povija rane njihove.
He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds.
4 On određuje broj zvijezda, svaku njezinim imenom naziva.
He counts the numberless stars, he gives names to them all.
5 Velik je naš Gospodin i svesilan, nema mjere mudrosti njegovoj.
Great is our Lord, rich in power, and measureless is his wisdom.
6 Jahve pridiže ponizne, zlotvore do zemlje snizuje.
The Lord lifts up the down-trodden, the wicked he brings to the ground.
7 Pjevajte Jahvi pjesmu zahvalnu, svirajte na citari Bogu našem!
Sing songs of thanks to the Lord, and play on the lyre to our God.
8 Oblacima on prekriva nebesa i zemlji kišu sprema; daje da po bregovima raste trava i bilje na službu čovjeku.
For he covers the sky with clouds, he prepares rain for the earth, makes grass to grow on the mountains.
9 On stoci hranu daje i mladim gavranima kada grakću.
He gives the cattle their food the young ravens when they cry.
10 Za konjsku snagu on ne mari nit' mu se mile bedra čovječja.
His pleasure is not in the strength of the horse, his joy is not in the speed of a runner;
11 Mili su Jahvi oni koji se njega boje, koji se uzdaju u dobrotu njegovu.
but the Lord has his pleasure in those who fear him, in those who wait for his kindness.
12 Slavi Jahvu, Jeruzaleme, hvali Boga svoga, Sione!
Praise the Lord, then, O Jerusalem: sing praise to your God, O Zion.
13 On učvrsti zasune vrata tvojih, blagoslovi u tebi tvoje sinove.
For he strengthens the bars of your gates, and blesses your children within you.
14 On dade mir granicama tvojim, pšenicom te hrani najboljom.
He brings peace to your borders, and choicest of wheat in abundance.
15 Besjedu svoju šalje na zemlju, brzo trči riječ njegova.
He sends his command to the earth: his word runs very swiftly.
16 Kao vunu snijeg razbacuje, prosipa mraz poput pepela.
Snow he gives like wool, frost he scatters like ashes.
17 On sipa grÓad kao zalogaje, voda mrzne od njegove studeni.
He casts forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold?
18 Riječ svoju pošalje i vode se tope; dunu vjetrom i vode otječu.
He sends forth his word, and melts them: his wind blows the waters flow.
19 Riječ svoju on objavi Jakovu, odluke svoje i zakone Izraelu.
He declares his word to Jacob, his statutes and judgments to Israel.
20 Ne učini tako nijednom narodu: nijednom naredbe svoje ne objavi! Aleluja!
No other nation did he do this for, they know nothing of his judgments. Hallelujah.
