< Psalms 132 >

1 Yahweh, do not forget [King] David and all the hardships/troubles he endured!
Hodočasnička pjesma.
2 He made a solemn promise to you, the mighty God whom [our ancestor] Jacob [worshiped].
Spomeni se, o Jahve, Davida i sve revnosti njegove: kako se Jahvi zakleo, zavjetovao Snazi Jakovljevoj:
3 He said, “I will not go home, I will not [rest] on my bed,
“Neću ući u šator doma svog nit' uzaći na ležaj svoje postelje,
4 I will not sleep at all
neću pustit' snu na oči nit' počinka dati vjeđama,
5 until I build a place for Yahweh, a home for the mighty God whom Jacob [worshiped].”
dok Jahvi mjesto ne nađem, boravište Snazi Jakovljevoj.”
6 In Bethlehem we heard news about the sacred chest. We [went and] found it in the fields of Jearim [city, and we took it to Jerusalem].
Eto, čusmo za nj u Efrati, nađosmo ga u Poljima jaarskim.
7 [Later we said], “Let’s go to the temple of Yahweh [in Jerusalem]; let’s worship [there] in front of the throne [where he sits].”
Uđimo u stan njegov, pred noge mu padnimo!
8 Yahweh, come to the place where you live eternally, to the place where your sacred chest is, to that place that shows that you are very powerful.
“Ustani, o Jahve, pođi k svom počivalištu, ti i Kovčeg sile tvoje!
9 I want/desire that the righteous behavior of your priests [will always be evident], [just like the beautiful] robes that they wear [MET], and that your people will [always] shout joyfully.
Svećenici tvoji nek' se obuku u pravednost, pobožnici tvoji nek' radosno kliču!
10 You chose David to serve you [as king of Israel]; do not reject/abandon him!
Poradi Davida, sluge svojega, ne odvrati lica od svog pomazanika!”
11 Yahweh, you made a solemn promise to David, a promise that you will not break. You said, “I will cause your descendants to rule [MTY] as kings like you.
Jahve se zakle Davidu zakletvom tvrdom od koje neće odustati: “Potomka tvoje utrobe posadit ću na prijestolje tvoje.
12 If they keep my agreement with them and obey [all] the commands that I will give them, the line of kings descended from you will never end.”
Budu li ti sinovi Savez moj čuvali i naredbe kojima ih učim, i sinovi će njini dovijeka sjedit' na tvom prijestolju.”
13 Yahweh has chosen Jerusalem; he has wanted to make that city his home;
Jer Jahve odabra Sion, njega zaželje sebi za sjedište.
14 he said, “This is the city where I will live forever [DOU]; this is the place where I wanted to stay.
“Ovo mi je počivalište vječno, boravit ću ovdje jer tako poželjeh.
15 I will give to the people of Jerusalem all that they need; I will give [enough] food [even] to satisfy the poor people there.
Žitak ću njegov blagosloviti, siromahe nahraniti kruhom.
16 I will cause the priests [to behave in a manner worthy of] being ones whom I have saved; [that will be as evident as the beautiful] robes that they wear [MET]; and all my people who live there will shout joyfully.
Svećenike njegove u spas ću odjenuti, sveti će njegovi kliktati radosno.
17 There [in Jerusalem] I will cause one of David’s descendants [MET] to become a great king; he also will be my chosen king, and he will be [like a bright] lamp [MET] [that shines continually].
Učinit ću da ondje za Davida rog izraste, pripravit ću svjetiljku za svog pomazanika.
18 I will [defeat his] enemies and cause them to be very ashamed/disgraced; but the crown that my king wears will [always] shine.”
U sram ću mu obući dušmane, a na njemu će blistat' vijenac moj.”
