1Toho dňa sa bude spievať táto pieseň v zemi Júdovej: Máme silné mesto! Bôh nám dal spasenie za múr a val.
1In that day, this song will be sung in the land of Judah: “We have a strong city. God appoints salvation for walls and bulwarks.
2Otvorte brány, aby vošiel spravedlivý národ, ostríhajúci vernosť.
2Open the gates, that the righteous nation may enter: the one which keeps faith.
3Človeka, ktorého myseľ je opretá na teba, Bože, zachováš v pokoji, áno, v pokoji, lebo sa nadeje na teba.
3You will keep whoever’s mind is steadfast in perfect peace, because he trusts in you.
4Nadejte sa na Hospodina na večné veky, pretože v Hospod-Hospodinovi je skala vekov.
4Trust in Yahweh forever; for in Yah, Yahweh, is an everlasting Rock.
5Lebo zohnul tých, ktorí bývajú vysoko, vyvýšené mesto; áno, poníži ho, poníži ho až k zemi, srazí ho až do prachu.
5For he has brought down those who dwell on high, the lofty city. He lays it low. He lays it low even to the ground. He brings it even to the dust.
6Noha ho zašliape, nohy biedneho, kroky chudobných.
6The foot shall tread it down; Even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy.”
7Cestou spravedlivému je priamosť. Ty súc priamy urovnávaš drahu spravedlivého.
7The way of the just is uprightness. You who are upright make the path of the righteous level.
8Ešte aj na ceste tvojich súdov očakávame na teba, Hospodine; po tvojom mene a po rozpomienke na teba nesie sa túžba duše.
8Yes, in the way of your judgments, Yahweh, have we waited for you. Your name and your renown are the desire of our soul.
9Svojou dušou túžim po tebe vnoci, áno, svojím duchom v sebe ťa hľadám za skorého rána; lebo keď posielaš svoje súdy na zem, obyvatelia okruhu sveta sa učia spravedlivosti.
9With my soul have I desired you in the night. Yes, with my spirit within me will I seek you earnestly; for when your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
10Keď sa aj učiní bezbožnému milosť, on sa jednako nenaučí spravedlivosti; v zemi pravosti robí prevrátene a nevidí velebnosti Hospodinovej.
10Let favor be shown to the wicked, yet he will not learn righteousness. In the land of uprightness he will deal wrongfully, and will not see Yahweh’s majesty.
11Hospodine, hoci je vysoko vyvýšená tvoja ruka, nevidia. No, uvidia a budú sa hanbiť pre závisť, že závideli tvojmu ľudu, áno, oheň strávi tvojich protivníkov.
11Yahweh, your hand is lifted up, yet they don’t see; but they will see your zeal for the people, and be disappointed. Yes, fire will consume your adversaries.
12Hospodine, ty nám spôsobíš pokoj, lebo i všetky naše skutky si ty vykonal za nás.
12Yahweh, you will ordain peace for us, for you have also worked all our works for us.
13Hospodine, náš Bože, panovali nad nami aj iní páni krome teba; no, my sa nadejeme iba na teba a pripomíname si iba tvoje meno.
13Yahweh our God, other lords besides you have had dominion over us, but by you only will we make mention of your name.
14Pomreli, neožijú; mŕtvi sú, viacej nevstanú. Tak si tedy navštívil a zahladil si ich a zahubíš i každú pamiatku na nich.
14The dead shall not live. The deceased shall not rise. Therefore have you visited and destroyed them, and caused all memory of them to perish.
15Rozmnožil si národ, Hospodine, rozmnožil si národ, si oslávený, ďaleko si posunul všetky konce zeme.
15You have increased the nation, O Yahweh. You have increased the nation! You are glorified! You have enlarged all the borders of the land.
16Hospodine, v súžení ťa hľadali a navštívili; vylievali pokorné prosby tiché, keď si ich trestal a káznil.
16Yahweh, in trouble they have visited you. They poured out a prayer when your chastening was on them.
17Ako tehotná žena, ktorá sa blíži k porodu, že sa svíja a kričí vo svojich bolestiach, takí sme boli pred tvojou tvárou, ó, Hospodine.
17Like as a woman with child, who draws near the time of her delivery, is in pain and cries out in her pangs; so we have been before you, Yahweh.
18Tehotneli sme, svíjali sme sa, a keď sme porodili, bol to vietor; nijakého spasenia sme nespôsobili zemi, ani nepadli obyvatelia okruhu sveta.
18We have been with child. We have been in pain. We gave birth, it seems, only to wind. We have not worked any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.
19Tvoji mŕtvi ožijú, moje mŕtve telo, vstanú. Prebuďte sa plesajte vy, ktorí bývate v prachu! Lebo tvoja rosa je rosou svetiel, a zem vyvrhne mŕtvych.
19Your dead shall live. My dead bodies shall arise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in the dust; for your dew is like the dew of herbs, and the earth will cast forth the dead.
20Idi, môj ľude, vojdi do svojich komôr, zatvor svoje dvere za sebou; skry sa na malú chvíľu, kým neprejde zúrivý hnev.
20Come, my people, enter into your rooms, and shut your doors behind you. Hide yourself for a little moment, until the indignation is past.
21Lebo hľa, Hospodin vyjde zo svojho miesta navštíviť neprávosť obyvateľov zeme, na každom z nich. Vtedy odkryje zem svoju krv a nebude viacej prikrývať svojich pobitých.
21For, behold, Yahweh comes forth out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity. The earth also will disclose her blood, and will no longer cover her slain.
