¹Esralase Eetani õpetuslaul.

¹I will sing of the loving kindness of Yahweh forever. With my mouth, I will make known your faithfulness to all generations.

²Ma laulan Issanda heldusest igavesti, ma kuulutan oma suuga su ustavust põlvest põlve.

²I indeed declare, “Love stands firm forever. You established the heavens. Your faithfulness is in them.”

³Sest ma ütlen: Igaveseks sa ehitasid helduse, taevastesse sa rajasid oma ustavuse.

³“I have made a covenant with my chosen one, I have sworn to David, my servant,

⁴'Ma olen teinud lepingu oma valituga, ma olen oma sulasele Taavetile vandunud:

⁴‘I will establish your seed forever, and build up your throne to all generations.’” Selah.

⁵Ma kinnitan su soo igaveseks ja ehitan su aujärje põlvest põlve.' Sela.

⁵The heavens will praise your wonders, Yahweh; your faithfulness also in the assembly of the holy ones.

⁶Ja taevad tunnistavad su imetegusid, Issand, ja sinu ustavust pühade koguduses.

⁶For who in the skies can be compared to Yahweh? Who among the sons of the heavenly beings is like Yahweh,

⁷Sest kes on pilvedes Issanda taoline? Kes on Issanda sarnane Jumala laste seas?

⁷a very awesome God in the council of the holy ones, to be feared above all those who are around him?

⁸Jumal on kohutav pühade salajases kogus, ja ta on kardetav üle kõikide, kes teda ümbritsevad.

⁸Yahweh, God of Armies, who is a mighty one, like you? Yah, your faithfulness is around you.

⁹Issand, vägede Jumal, kes on nii võimas kui sina, Issand? Ja sinu ustavus on sinu ümber.

⁹You rule the pride of the sea. When its waves rise up, you calm them.

¹⁰Sina valitsed mere uhkust; kui ta oma lained tõstab, vaigistad sina need.

¹⁰You have broken Rahab in pieces, like one of the slain. You have scattered your enemies with your mighty arm.

¹¹Sina purustasid Rahabi nagu mahalöödu; oma vägeva käsivarrega sa pillutasid laiali oma vaenlased.

¹¹The heavens are yours. The earth also is yours; the world and its fullness. You have founded them.

¹²Sinu oma on taevas ja sinu on ka maa; maailmale ja kõigele, mis seda täidab, oled sina rajanud aluse.

¹²The north and the south, you have created them. Tabor and Hermon rejoice in your name.

¹³Põhja ja lõuna oled sina loonud; Taabor ja Hermon laulavad hõisates sinu nimele.

¹³You have a mighty arm. Your hand is strong, and your right hand is exalted.

¹⁴Sinul on vägev käsivars, tugev on sinu käsi, kõrge su parem käsi.

¹⁴Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne. Loving kindness and truth go before your face.

¹⁵Õigus ja õiglus on su aujärje alus; heldus ja ustavus käivad su palge ees.

¹⁵Blessed are the people who learn to acclaim you. They walk in the light of your presence, Yahweh.

¹⁶Õnnis on rahvas, kes tunneb püha hõiskamist; nad käivad sinu palge valguses, Issand.

¹⁶In your name they rejoice all day. In your righteousness, they are exalted.

¹⁷Sinu nimest rõõmutsevad nad iga päev, ja sinu õigluses nad ülendatakse.

¹⁷For you are the glory of their strength. In your favor, our horn will be exalted.

¹⁸Sest sina oled nende tugevuse ilu, ja sinu hea meele pärast tõstetakse meie sarv kõrgele.

¹⁸For our shield belongs to Yahweh; our king to the Holy One of Israel.

¹⁹Sest Issanda hoolel on meie kilp, ja Iisraeli Püha hoolel on meie kuningas.

¹⁹Then you spoke in vision to your saints, and said, “I have bestowed strength on the warrior. I have exalted a young man from the people.

²⁰Kord sa rääkisid nägemuses oma vagadega ning ütlesid: 'Ma olen pannud abi sangari kätte, ma olen valitu suureks tõstnud rahva hulgast.

²⁰I have found David, my servant. I have anointed him with my holy oil,

²¹Ma olen leidnud Taaveti, oma sulase, oma püha õliga olen ma tema võidnud.

²¹with whom my hand shall be established. My arm will also strengthen him.

²²Teda toetab mu käsi kõvasti ja mu käsivars tugevdab teda.

²²No enemy will tax him. No wicked man will oppress him.

²³Vaenlane ei saa teda üllatada ega ülekohtune inimene teda maha rõhuda,

²³I will beat down his adversaries before him, and strike those who hate him.

²⁴vaid mina taon puruks ta vaenlased ta eest ja löön maha tema vihkajad.

²⁴But my faithfulness and my loving kindness will be with him. In my name, his horn will be exalted.

²⁵Ja mu ustavus ja mu heldus on temaga, ja tema sarv tõstetakse kõrgele minu nimes.

²⁵I will set his hand also on the sea, and his right hand on the rivers.

²⁶Ja ma panen tema käe mere peale ja ta parema käe jõgede peale.

²⁶He will call to me, ‘You are my Father, my God, and the rock of my salvation!’

²⁷Tema hüüab mind: Sina oled minu Isa, mu Jumal, mu päästekalju!

²⁷I will also appoint him my firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth.

²⁸Ent mina teen ta esmasündinuks ning kõige kõrgemaks kuningaks üle ilmamaa.

²⁸I will keep my loving kindness for him forevermore. My covenant will stand firm with him.

²⁹Ma hoian oma helduse temale igavesti ja mu leping temaga jääb püsima.

²⁹I will also make his seed endure forever, and his throne as the days of heaven.

³⁰Ma sean tema soo igaveseks ja tema aujärje nii kauaks kui taeva päevad.

³⁰If his children forsake my law, and don’t walk in my ordinances;

³¹Kui ta lapsed hülgavad mu Seaduse ega käi mu määruste järgi,

³¹if they break my statutes, and don’t keep my commandments;

³²kui nad teotavad mu korraldusi ega pea mu käske,

³²then I will punish their sin with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.

³³siis ma küll nuhtlen nende üleastumisi vitsaga ja nende pahategusid hoopidega,

³³But I will not completely take my loving kindness from him, nor allow my faithfulness to fail.

³⁴kuid oma heldust ma ei tühista ega tee valeks oma ustavust.

³⁴I will not break my covenant, nor alter what my lips have uttered.

³⁵Ma ei riku oma lepingut ega muuda seda, mis on lähtunud mu huulilt.

³⁵Once have I sworn by my holiness, I will not lie to David.

³⁶Ma olen korra vandunud oma pühaduse juures; tõesti, ma ei valeta Taavetile.

³⁶His seed will endure forever, his throne like the sun before me.

³⁷Tema sugu püsib igavesti ja tema aujärg nagu päike minu ees;

³⁷It will be established forever like the moon, the faithful witness in the sky.” Selah.

³⁸nagu kuu peab ta jääma igavesti kindlaks ja nagu ustav tunnistaja pilvedes!' Sela.

³⁸But you have rejected and spurned. You have been angry with your anointed.

³⁹Ja ometi oled sa tema ära tõuganud ja ära põlanud, sa oled saanud täis raevu oma võitud mehe vastu.

³⁹You have renounced the covenant of your servant. You have defiled his crown in the dust.

⁴⁰Sa oled tühistanud oma sulase lepingu, sa oled maani häbistanud tema krooni.

⁴⁰You have broken down all his hedges. You have brought his strongholds to ruin.

⁴¹Sa oled kiskunud maha kõik tema müürid, sa oled tema kindlused teinud varemeiks.

⁴¹All who pass by the way rob him. He has become a reproach to his neighbors.

⁴²Kõik, kes seda teed mööda käivad, rüüstavad teda, ta on saanud teotuseks oma naabritele.

⁴²You have exalted the right hand of his adversaries. You have made all of his enemies rejoice.

⁴³Sa oled suureks tõstnud tema rõhujate parema käe, sa oled rõõmustanud kõiki tema vaenlasi.

⁴³Yes, you turn back the edge of his sword, and haven’t supported him in battle.

⁴⁴Sa oled tagasi pööranud ka tema mõõgatera ega ole teda püsti hoidnud sõjas.

⁴⁴You have ended his splendor, and thrown his throne down to the ground.

⁴⁵Sa oled lõpetanud tema hiilguse ja oled lükanud maha tema aujärje.

⁴⁵You have shortened the days of his youth. You have covered him with shame. Selah.

⁴⁶Sa oled lühendanud tema nooruspäevi ja oled katnud teda häbiga. Sela.

⁴⁶How long, Yahweh? Will you hide yourself forever? Will your wrath burn like fire?

⁴⁷Kui kaua sa, Issand, peidad ennast? Kui kaua su viha peab leegitsema nagu tuli?

⁴⁷Remember how short my time is! For what vanity have you created all the children of men!

⁴⁸Mõtle, kui lühike on mu eluiga! Kui tühisteks sa oled loonud kõik inimlapsed!

⁴⁸What man is he who shall live and not see death, who shall deliver his soul from the power of Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. ? Selah.

⁴⁹Kus on inimene, kes jääb elama ega näe surma, kes päästab oma elu surmavalla käest? Sela.

⁴⁹Lord, where are your former loving kindnesses, which you swore to David in your faithfulness?

⁵⁰Kus on su endised heldused, Issand, mis sa vandusid Taavetile oma ustavuses?

⁵⁰Remember, Lord, the reproach of your servants, how I bear in my heart the taunts of all the mighty peoples,

⁵¹Mõtle, Issand, oma sulase teotusele kõigi suurte rahvaste poolt, mida ma kannan oma põues,

⁵¹With which your enemies have mocked, Yahweh, with which they have mocked the footsteps of your anointed one.

⁵²millega sinu vaenlased sind, Issand, teotavad, kui nad teotavad su võitud mehe jälgi!

⁵²Blessed be Yahweh forevermore. Amen, and Amen. BOOK IV

⁵³Tänu olgu Issandale igavesti! Aamen ja aamen!
