Psalms 146
1 Praise Yahweh! With my whole inner being I will praise Yahweh.
Halleluja! Ylistä, minun sieluni, Herraa.
2 I will praise Yahweh as long as I am alive; I will sing to praise my God for [the rest of] my life.
Minä ylistän Herraa kaiken ikäni, veisaan kiitosta Jumalalleni, niin kauan kuin elän.
3 [You people], do not trust in your leaders; do not trust humans because they cannot save/rescue you [from your difficulties/problems].
Älkää luottako ruhtinaihin älkääkä ihmislapseen, sillä ei hän voi auttaa.
4 And when they die, their corpses [decay and] become soil again. After they die, they can no longer do the things that they planned to do.
Kun hänen henkensä lähtee hänestä, niin hän tulee maaksi jälleen; sinä päivänä hänen hankkeensa raukeavat tyhjiin.
5 But those whose helper is the God whom Jacob [worshiped] are happy. The one whom they confidently expect [to help them] is Yahweh, their God.
Autuas se, jonka apuna on Jaakobin Jumala, se, joka panee toivonsa Herraan, Jumalaansa,
6 He is the one who created heaven and the earth and the oceans and all [the creatures] that are in them. He always does what he has promised to do.
häneen, joka on tehnyt taivaan ja maan, meren ja kaiken, mitä niissä on, joka pysyy uskollisena iankaikkisesti,
7 He decides matters fairly for those who are (treated unfairly/oppressed), and he provides food for those who are hungry. He frees those who are in prison.
joka hankkii oikeuden sorretuille, joka antaa leivän nälkäisille. Herra vapauttaa vangitut,
8 Yahweh enables those who are blind to see again. He lifts up those who have fallen down. He loves righteous [people].
Herra avaa sokeain silmät, Herra nostaa alaspainetut, Herra rakastaa vanhurskaita.
9 Yahweh takes care of those from other countries who live in our land, and he helps widows and orphans. But he gets rid of wicked [people].
Herra varjelee muukalaiset, holhoo orvot ja lesket, mutta jumalattomain tien hän tekee mutkaiseksi.
10 Yahweh will [continue to] be our king forever; you people of Israel, your God will rule forever! Praise Yahweh!
Herra on kuningas iankaikkisesti, sinun Jumalasi, Siion, polvesta polveen. Halleluja!
