Psalms 147

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	Biblija Hrvatski
1 Hallelujah! How good to celebrate our God in song; how sweet to give fitting praise.	1 Aleluja! Hvalite Jahvu jer je dobar, pjevajte Bogu našem jer je sladak; svake hvale on je dostojan!
2 The LORD rebuilds Jerusalem, gathers the dispersed of Israel,	2 Jahve gradi Jeruzalem, sabire raspršene Izraelce.
3 Heals the brokenhearted, binds up their wounds,	3 On liječi one koji su srca skršena i povija rane njihove.
4 Numbers all the stars, calls each of them by name.	4 On određuje broj zvijezdâ, svaku njezinim imenom naziva.
5 Great is our Lord, vast in power, with wisdom beyond measure.	5 Velik je naš Gospodin i svesilan, nema mjere mudrosti njegovoj.
6 The LORD sustains the poor, but casts the wicked to the ground.	6 Jahve pridiže ponizne, zlotvore do zemlje snizuje.
7 Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving; with the lyre celebrate our God,	7 Pjevajte Jahvi pjesmu zahvalnu, svirajte na citari Bogu našem!
8 Who covers the heavens with clouds, provides rain for the earth, makes grass sprout on the mountains,	8 Oblacima on prekriva nebesa i zemlji kišu sprema; daje da po bregovima raste trava i bilje na službu čovjeku.
9 Who gives animals their food and ravens what they cry for.	9 On stoci hranu daje i mladim gavranima kada grakću.
10 God takes no delight in the strength of horses, no pleasure in the runner's stride.	10 Za konjsku snagu on ne mari nit’ mu se mile bedra čovječja.
11 Rather the LORD takes pleasure in the devout, those who await his faithful care.	11 Mili su Jahvi oni koji se njega boje, koji se uzdaju u dobrotu njegovu.
12 Glorify the LORD, Jerusalem; Zion, offer praise to your God,	12 Slavi Jahvu, Jeruzaleme, hvali Boga svoga, Sione!
13 Who has strengthened the bars of your gates, blessed your children within you,	13 On učvrsti zasune vrata tvojih, blagoslovi u tebi tvoje sinove.
14 Brought peace to your borders, and filled you with finest wheat.	14 On dade mir granicama tvojim, pšenicom te hrani najboljom.
15 The LORD sends a command to earth; his word runs swiftly!	15 Besjedu svoju šalje na zemlju, brzo trči riječ njegova.
16 Thus snow is spread like wool, frost is scattered like ash,	16 Kao vunu snijeg razbacuje, prosipa mraz poput pepela.
17 Hail is dispersed like crumbs; before such cold the waters freeze.	17 On sipa grad kao zalogaje, voda mrzne od njegove studeni.
18 Again he sends his word and they melt; the wind is unleashed and the waters flow.	18 Riječ svoju pošalje i vode se tope; dunu vjetrom i vode otječu.
19 The LORD also proclaims his word to Jacob, decrees and laws to Israel.	19 Riječ svoju on objavi Jakovu, odluke svoje i zakone Izraelu.
20 God has not done this for other nations; of such laws they know nothing. Hallelujah!	20 Ne učini tako nijednom narodu: nijednom naredbe svoje ne objavi! Aleluja!
