¹Praise Yahweh! Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.

¹Aleluja! Hvalite GOSPODA, ker je dober, ker traja vekomaj milost njegova.

²Who can utter the mighty acts of Yahweh, or fully declare all his praise?

²Kdo bi dopovedal mogočna dela GOSPODOVA, oznanil vso hvalo njegovo?

³Blessed are those who keep justice. Blessed is one who does what is right at all times.

³O blagor jim, ki se oklepajo pravice, ki delajo pravičnost vsak čas!

⁴Remember me, Yahweh, with the favor that you show to your people. Visit me with your salvation,

⁴Spomni se me, GOSPOD, po blagovoljnosti, ki jo izkazuješ svojemu ljudstvu, obišči me z rešilno pomočjo svojo,

⁵that I may see the prosperity of your chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of your nation, that I may glory with your inheritance.

⁵da uživam izvoljenih tvojih srečo, da se veselim radosti naroda tvojega, da se ponašam z dedino tvojo vred.

⁶We have sinned with our fathers. We have committed iniquity. We have done wickedly.

⁶Grešili smo kakor očetje naši, krivično smo delali, brezbožno ravnali.

⁷Our fathers didn’t understand your wonders in Egypt. They didn’t remember the multitude of your loving kindnesses, but were rebellious at the sea, even at the Red Sea or, Sea of Reeds .

⁷Očetje naši v Egiptu niso uvaževali čudovitih del tvojih, spominjali se niso milosti tvojih množine, temuč bili so uporni pri morju, pri morju Rdečem.

⁸Nevertheless he saved them for his name’s sake, that he might make his mighty power known.

⁸Vendar jih je rešil zavoljo imena svojega, da bi pokazal svojo moč.

⁹He rebuked the Red Sea or, Sea of Reeds also, and it was dried up; so he led them through the depths, as through a desert.

⁹Zapretil je Rdečemu morju, in posušilo se je, in peljal jih je skozi valove kakor po planjavi.

¹⁰He saved them from the hand of him who hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

¹⁰Tako jih je otel sovražilcu iz roke, odrešil jih je iz roke neprijateljeve.

¹¹The waters covered their adversaries. There was not one of them left.

¹¹Vode pa so pokrile njih zatiralce, eden izmed njih ni ostal.

¹²Then they believed his words. They sang his praise.

¹²Tedaj so verjeli besedam njegovim, peli hvalo njegovo.

¹³They soon forgot his works. They didn’t wait for his counsel,

¹³Pa hitro so pozabili del njegovih, čakali niso sveta njegovega,

¹⁴but gave in to craving in the desert, and tested God in the wasteland.

¹⁴ampak vdali so se poželjivosti v puščavi, izkušali Boga mogočnega v samoti.

¹⁵He gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul.

¹⁵In dal jim je, česar so želeli, a poslal jim je suhoto v njih duše.

¹⁶They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron, Yahweh’s saint.

¹⁶Ko so bili nevoščljivi Mojzesu v taborišču in Aronu, svetniku GOSPODOVEMU,

¹⁷The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram.

¹⁷se je odprla zemlja in požrla Datana, in zagrnila je druhal Abiramovo.

¹⁸A fire was kindled in their company. The flame burned up the wicked.

¹⁸In ogenj se je vnel v njih druhali, in plamen je požgal krivičnike.

¹⁹They made a calf in Horeb, and worshiped a molten image.

¹⁹Naredili so tele pri Horebu in so se klanjali uliti podobi,

²⁰Thus they exchanged their glory for an image of a bull that eats grass.

²⁰in so zamenili čast svojo s podobo vola, ki muli travo.

²¹They forgot God, their Savior, who had done great things in Egypt,

²¹Pozabili so Boga mogočnega, rešitelja svojega, ki je bil storil velike reči v Egiptu,

²²Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and awesome things by the Red Sea or, Sea of Reeds .

²²čudovita dela v deželi Hamovi, strašna pri Rdečem morju.

²³Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had Moses, his chosen, not stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, so that he wouldn’t destroy them.

²³Zato je rekel, da jih pogubi; ko bi ne bil Mojzes, izvoljenec njegov, stopil v oni prepad pred njim, da je odvrnil jezo njegovo, da jih ni pogubil.

²⁴Yes, they despised the pleasant land. They didn’t believe his word,

²⁴Zaničevali so tudi zaželjeno deželo, ne verujoč besedi njegovi.

²⁵but murmured in their tents, and didn’t listen to Yahweh’s voice.

²⁵Godrnjali so v šatorih svojih in niso poslušali glasu GOSPODOVEGA.

²⁶Therefore he swore to them that he would overthrow them in the wilderness,

²⁶Tu je dvignil roko svojo proti njim ter prisegel, da morajo popadati v puščavi,

²⁷that he would overthrow their seed among the nations, and scatter them in the lands.

²⁷in da raznese njih seme med narode in jih razkropi po deželah.

²⁸They joined themselves also to Baal Peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.

²⁸Združili so se tudi z malikom Baal-peorjem in jedli daritve mrtvim.

²⁹Thus they provoked him to anger with their deeds. The plague broke in on them.

²⁹Tako so dražili Boga s počenjanjem svojim, da je prihrul nadnje pomor.

³⁰Then Phinehas stood up, and executed judgment, so the plague was stopped.

³⁰Tu se je vzdignil Pinehas in storil sodbo, in pomor je bil ustavljen;

³¹That was credited to him for righteousness, for all generations to come.

³¹to se mu je štelo za pravičnost, od roda do roda vekomaj.

³²They angered him also at the waters of Meribah, so that Moses was troubled for their sakes;

³²Enako so razdražili Boga pri Vodi prepira, da se je slabo godilo Mojzesu zavoljo njih:

³³because they were rebellious against his spirit, he spoke rashly with his lips.

³³kajti upirali so se duhu njegovemu, in govoril je nepremišljeno z ustnami svojimi.

³⁴They didn’t destroy the peoples, as Yahweh commanded them,

³⁴Pokončali niso onih ljudstev, za katera jim je bil zapoveddal GOSPOD,

³⁵but mixed themselves with the nations, and learned their works.

³⁵ampak pomešali so se s poganskimi narodi in naučili se njih del;

³⁶They served their idols, which became a snare to them.

³⁶in so služili njih malikom, in ti so jim bili v spotiko.

³⁷In darovali so sinove svoje in hčere svoje hudim duhovom.

³⁸They shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan. The land was polluted with blood.

³⁸In prelivali so nedolžno kri, kri sinov in hčer svojih, ki so jih darovali malikom kanaanskim, da je bila dežela oskrunjena ž njih moritvami.

³⁹Thus were they defiled with their works, and prostituted themselves in their deeds.

³⁹In onečistili so se s svojimi deli, prešeštvovali so z dejanji svojimi.

⁴⁰Therefore Yahweh burned with anger against his people. He abhorred his inheritance.

⁴⁰Zato se je razsrdil GOSPOD nad ljudstvom svojim in pristudila se mu je dedina njegova.

⁴¹He gave them into the hand of the nations. Those who hated them ruled over them.

⁴¹In dal jih je v roko poganom, da bi jim gospodovali njih črtilci.

⁴²Their enemies also oppressed them. They were brought into subjection under their hand.

⁴²In stiskali so jih njih sovražniki, in bili so potlačeni pod njih roko.

⁴³Many times he delivered them, but they were rebellious in their counsel, and were brought low in their iniquity.

⁴³Mnogokrat jih je rešil, in vendar so bili uporni v naklepih svojih, in bili so ponižani zavoljo krivice svoje.

⁴⁴Nevertheless he regarded their distress, when he heard their cry.

⁴⁴Vendar se je oziral na njih stisko, ko je slišal njih vpitje.

⁴⁵He remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.

⁴⁵In spominjal se je zanje zaveze svoje in kesal se je po obilosti milosti svojih.

⁴⁶He made them also to be pitied by all those who carried them captive.

⁴⁶In dal jim je doseči usmiljenje pred vsemi, kateri so jih imeli v sužnosti.

⁴⁷Save us, Yahweh, our God, gather us from among the nations, to give thanks to your holy name, to triumph in your praise!

⁴⁷Reši nas, GOSPOD, Bog naš, in zberi nas izmed tistih poganov, da slavimo sveto ime tvoje in se hvalimo v hvali tvoji. —Slava GOSPODU, Bogu Izraelovemu, od veka do veka! In vse ljudstvo naj reče: Amen! Aleluja! Knjiga peta.

⁴⁸Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting! Let all the people say, “Amen.” Praise Yah! BOOK V
