Psalms 116

1 I have loved, because Jehovah heareth My voice, my supplication,

Ljubim Gospoda, ker je slišal moj glas in moje ponižne prošnje.

2 Because He hath inclined His ear to me, And during my days I call.

Ker je k meni nagnil svoje uho, zato bom klical k njemu, dokler živim.

3 Compassed me have cords of death, And straits of Sheol have found me, Distress and sorrow I find. (Sheol h7585)

Obdale so me bridkosti smrti in bolečine pekla so me prijele; spoznal sem stisko in bridkost. (Sheol h7585)

4 And in the name of Jehovah I call: I pray Thee, O Jehovah, deliver my soul,

Potem sem klical h Gospodovemu imenu: »Oh Gospod, rotim te, osvobodi mojo dušo.«

5 Gracious [is] Jehovah, and righteous, Yea, our God [is] merciful,

Milostljiv je Gospod in pravičen; da, naš Bog je usmiljen.

6 A preserver of the simple [is] Jehovah, I was low, and to me He giveth salvation.

Gospod varuje preprostega; ponižan sem bil in pomagal mi je.

7 Turn back, O my soul, to thy rest, For Jehovah hath conferred benefits on thee.

Vrni se k svojemu počitku, oh moja duša, kajti Gospod radodarno postopa s teboj.

8 For Thou hast delivered my soul from death, My eyes from tears, my feet from overthrowing.

Kajti mojo dušo si osvobodil pred smrtjo, moje oči pred solzami in moja stopala pred padcem.

9 I walk habitually before Jehovah In the lands of the living.

Hodil bom pred Gospodom v deželi živih.

10 I have believed, for I speak, I — I have been afflicted greatly.

Verujem, zato sem rekel: »Bil sem silno prizadet.«

11 I said in my haste, 'Every man [is] a liar.'

V svoji naglici sem rekel: »Vsi ljudje so lažnivci.«

12 What do I return to Jehovah? All His benefits [are] upon me.

Kaj naj bi vrnil Gospodu za vse njegove koristi do mene?

13 The cup of salvation I lift up, And in the name of Jehovah I call.

Vzel bom čašo rešitve duše in klical h Gospodovemu imenu.

14 My vows to Jehovah let me complete, I pray you, before all His people.

Svoje zaobljube bom izpolnil Gospodu sedaj, v prisotnosti vsega njegovega ljudstva.

15 Precious in the eyes of Jehovah [is] the death for His saints.

Dragocena je v Gospodovih očeh smrt njegovih svetih.

16 Cause [it] to come, O Jehovah, for I [am] Thy servant. I [am] Thy servant, son of Thy handmaid, Thou hast opened my bonds.

Oh Gospod, zares sem tvoj služabnik; tvoj služabnik sem in sin tvoje pomočnice; ti si odvezal moje vezi.

17 To Thee I sacrifice a sacrifice of thanks, And in the name of Jehovah I call.

Daroval ti bom žrtev zahvaljevanja in klical bom h Gospodovemu imenu.

18 My vows to Jehovah let me complete, I pray you, before all His people,

Svoje zaobljube bom izpolnil Gospodu sedaj, v prisotnosti vsega njegovega ljudstva,

19 In the courts of the house of Jehovah, In thy midst, O Jerusalem, praise ye Jah!

na dvorih Gospodove hiše, v tvoji sredi, oh Jeruzalem. Hvalite Gospoda.
