< Psalms 91 >

1 Those who live under the protection of God Almighty, will be able to rest [safely] under his care.
Kdor prebiva na skrivnem kraju Najvišjega, bo ostal pod senco Vsemogočnega.
2 I will declare to Yahweh, “You protect me; [you are like] a fort [MET] in which I am safe. You are my God, the one in whom I trust.”
Rekel bom o Gospodu: » On je moje zatočišče in moja trdnjava; moj Bog, vanj bom zaupal.«
3 Yahweh will rescue you from all hidden traps and save you from deadly diseases.
Zagotovo te bo osvobodil pred ptičarjevo zanko in pred ogabno kužno boleznijo.
4 He will shield/protect you [like a bird shields/protects its chicks] [MET] with/under her wings. You will be safe (in his care/because he takes care of you). His faithfully doing what he has promised is like a shield [MET] that will protect you.
Pokril te bo s svojim perjem in pod njegovimi perutmi boš zaupal. Njegova resnica bo tvoj ščit in oklep.
5 You will not be afraid of things that happen during the night that could (terrorize you/cause you to be very afraid), or of arrows that [your enemies will shoot at you] during the day.
Ne boš se bal zaradi strahote ponoči niti zaradi puščice, ki leti podnevi,
6 You will not be afraid of (plagues/widespread sicknesses) that demons cause when they attack people at night, or of other [evil forces] that kill people at midday.
niti zaradi kužne bolezni, ki hodi v temi niti zaradi uničenja, ki pustoši opoldan.
7 Even if 1,000 people fall [dead] alongside you, even if 10,000 [people are dying] around you, you will not be harmed.
Tisoč jih bo padlo na tvoji strani in deset tisoč na tvoji desnici, toda tebi se to ne bo približalo.
8 Look and see that (wicked people are being punished/God is punishing wicked people)!
Samo s svojimi očmi boš gledal in videl nagrado zlobnih.
9 If you allow Yahweh to protect you, if you trust God Almighty to (shelter/take care of) you,
Ker si naredil Gospoda, ki je moje zatočišče, celó Najvišjega, [za] svoje prebivališče,
10 nothing evil will happen to you; no plague will come near your house,
te nobeno zlo ne zadene niti nobena nadloga ne bo prišla blizu tvojega prebivališča.
11 because Yahweh will command his angels to protect you wherever you go.
Kajti svojim angelom bo zapovedal nad teboj, da te varujejo na vseh tvojih poteh.
12 They will hold you up with their hands, with the result that you will not hurt your foot on a big stone.
Nosili te bodo na svojih rokah, da ne bi svojega stopala treščil ob kamen.
13 You will be [kept safe from being harmed by your enemies] [MET]; [it will be as though] you are stepping on lions and poisonous snakes [without them harming you!]
Stopal boš na leva in gada; mladega leva in zmaja boš pomendral pod stopali.
14 [Yahweh says], “I will rescue those who love me, I will protect them because they (acknowledge that I am Yahweh/know me).
Ker je svojo ljubezen naravnal name, zato ga bom osvobodil. Postavil ga bom visoko, ker je spoznal moje ime.
15 When they call out to me, I will answer them. I will help them when they are experiencing trouble; I will rescue them and honor them.
Klical bo k meni in odgovoril mu bom. Z njim bom v stiski, osvobodil ga bom in mu izkazal čast.
16 I will reward them by enabling them to live a long time, and I will save them.”
Zadovoljil ga bom z dolgim življenjem in mu pokazal svojo rešitev duše.
