গীতসংহিতা 81
1 ১ প্রধান বাদ্যকরের জন্য। স্বর, গিত্তীৎ। আসফের একটি গীত। ঈশ্বর আমাদের শক্তি তাঁর উদ্দেশ্যে আনন্দ ধ্বনি কর, যাকোবের ঈশ্বরের উদ্দেশ্যে জয়ধ্বনি কর।
Sing [songs] to praise God, who enables us to be strong [when we fight our enemies]; shout joyfully to God, whom we (descendants of Jacob/Israeli people) [worship]!
Start [playing] the music, and beat the tambourines, and play nice music on the harps and (lyres/other stringed instruments).
Blow the trumpets [during the festival to celebrate] each new moon and each time the moon is full and during our [other] festivals.
[Do that] because that is a law for [us] Israeli [people]; God commanded it for us descendants of Jacob.
5 ৫ তিনি যাকোবের মধ্যে এই সাক্ষ্য স্থাপন করলেন, যখন তিনি মিশর দেশের বিরুদ্ধে বার হন; আমি এক বাণী শুনলাম, যা জানতাম না।
He commanded us Israeli [people to obey it] when he punished [the people of] Egypt. I heard someone [MTY] whose voice I did not recognize, saying,
“[After the rulers of Egypt forced you Israelis to work as slaves], I took those [heavy] burdens off your backs, and I enabled you to lay down those [heavy] baskets [of bricks that you were carrying].
7 ৭ তুমি বিপদে ডাকলে আমি তোমাকে উদ্ধার করলাম; আমি মেঘ-গর্জনের আড়ালে তোমাকে উত্তর দিলাম, মরীবার জলের কাছে তোমার পরীক্ষা করলাম।
When you were [greatly] distressed, you called [out to me], and I rescued you; I answered you out of a thundercloud. [Later] I tested [whether you would trust me to give you] water [when you were in the desert] at Meribah.
[You who are] my people, listen while I warn you! I wish that you Israeli [people] would pay attention to what I [say to you]!
You must not have any idols of other gods among you; you must never bow to worship any of them!
10 ১০ আমি সদাপ্রভুু, তোমার ঈশ্বর, আমি তোমাকে মিশর দেশ থেকে উঠিয়ে এনেছি, তোমরা মুখ বড় করে খোল, আমি তা পূর্ণ করব।
I am Yahweh, your God; It was [not any of those other gods] who brought you out of Egypt, I am the one who did it! [So] ask me what you want me to do for you [MTY], and I will do it.
But my people would not listen to me [SYN]; they would not obey me.
So even though they were very stubborn, I allowed them to do whatever they wanted to do.
I wish that my people would listen to me, that the Israeli [people] would behave as I want them to do.
[If they did that], I would quickly defeat their enemies; I would strike/punish [all of] them [DOU].
[Then all] those who hate me would (cringe before/bow down to) me, and [then I] would punish them [MTY] forever.
[But] I would give you [Israelis] very good wheat/grain, and I would fill your stomachs with wild honey.”
