< Psalms 132 >

1 Yahweh, do not forget [King] David and all the hardships/troubles he endured!
Matkalaulu. Muista, Herra, Daavidin hyväksi kaikkia hänen vaivojansa,
2 He made a solemn promise to you, the mighty God whom [our ancestor] Jacob [worshiped].
hänen, joka vannoi valan Herralle ja teki lupauksen Jaakobin Väkevälle:
3 He said, “I will not go home, I will not [rest] on my bed,
"Minä en mene majaan, joka on minun kotini, enkä nouse vuoteeseeni, joka on minun leposijani,
4 I will not sleep at all
minä en suo silmilleni unta enkä silmäluomilleni lepoa,
5 until I build a place for Yahweh, a home for the mighty God whom Jacob [worshiped].”
ennenkuin löydän sijan Herralle, asumuksen Jaakobin Väkevälle".
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].
Katso, me kuulimme sen olevan Efratassa, me löysimme sen Jaarin kedoilta.
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].”
Menkäämme hänen asumukseensa, kumartukaamme hänen jalkainsa astinlaudan eteen.
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.
Nouse, Herra, leposijaasi, sinä ja sinun väkevyytesi arkki.
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.
Sinun pappisi olkoot puetut vanhurskaudella, ja sinun hurskaasi riemuitkoot.
10 You chose David to serve you [as king of Israel]; do not reject/abandon him!
Palvelijasi Daavidin tähden älä torju pois voideltusi kasvoja.
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.
Herra on vannonut Daavidille totisen valan, jota hän ei peruuta: "Sinun ruumiisi hedelmän minä asetan sinun valtaistuimellesi.
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.”
Jos sinun poikasi pitävät minun liittoni ja minun todistukseni, jotka minä heille opetan, niin saavat heidänkin poikansa istua sinun valtaistuimellasi iankaikkisesti."
13 Yahweh has chosen Jerusalem; he has wanted to make that city his home;
Sillä Herra on valinnut Siionin, halunnut sen asunnoksensa:
14 he said, “This is the city where I will live forever [DOU]; this is the place where I wanted to stay.
"Tämä on minun leposijani iankaikkisesti; tässä minä asun, sillä tänne on minun haluni ollut.
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.
Siionin ravinnon minä runsaasti siunaan, sen köyhät minä leivällä ruokin.
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.
Sen papit minä puetan autuudella, ja sen hurskaat riemuiten riemuitkoot.
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].
Siellä minä annan yletä Daavidille sarven, sytytän voidellulleni lampun.
18 I will [defeat his] enemies and cause them to be very ashamed/disgraced; but the crown that my king wears will [always] shine.”
Hänen vihollisensa minä puetan häpeällä, mutta hänen päässänsä loistaa hänen kruununsa."
