Psalmi 81
1 Zborovođi. Po napjevu “Tijesci”. Asafov. Kliknite Bogu, našoj jakosti, kličite Bogu Jakovljevu!
For the choirmaster. According to Gittith. Of Asaph. Sing for joy to God our strength; make a joyful noise to the God of Jacob.
2 Nek' zazvuče žice, nek' se čuje bubanj, svirajte u milozvučnu harfu s citarom!
Lift up a song, strike the tambourine, play the sweet-sounding harp and lyre.
3 Zatrubite u rog za mlađaka, za uštapa, na svetkovinu našu!
Sound the ram’s horn at the New Moon, and at the full moon on the day of our Feast.
4 Jer to je propis Izraelu, zapovijed Boga Jakovljeva.
For this is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob.
5 Takav je zakon dao Josipu kad je izlazio iz zemlje Egipta.
He ordained it as a testimony for Joseph when he went out over the land of Egypt, where I heard an unfamiliar language:
6 Šapat tajnovit čuh: “Oslobodih od tereta rame njegovo, ruke su mu slobodne od košare.
“I relieved his shoulder of the burden; his hands were freed from the basket.
7 U tjeskobi si zavapio i ja te izbavih; iz gromovna oblaka odgovorih tebi, iskušah te kod voda meripskih.
You called out in distress, and I rescued you; I answered you from the cloud of thunder; I tested you at the waters of Meribah.
8 Slušaj, puče moj, i ja ću te opomenuti: o, da me poslušaš, Izraele!
Hear, O My people, and I will warn you: O Israel, if only you would listen to Me!
9 Nek' ne bude u tebe drugog boga i ne klanjaj se bogu tuđem!
There must be no strange god among you, nor shall you bow to a foreign god.
10 Ja sam Jahve, Bog tvoj koji te izvedoh iz Egipta: otvori svoja usta da ih napunim!”
I am the LORD your God, who brought you up out of Egypt. Open wide your mouth, and I will fill it.
11 “Ali moj narod ne slušaše glasa moga, Izrael me ne posluša.
But My people would not listen to Me, and Israel would not obey Me.
12 Zato ga pustih okorjelom srcu njegovu: neka hodi kako mu se hoće!
So I gave them up to their stubborn hearts to follow their own devices.
13 O, kad bi me narod moj slušao, kad bi Izrael putovima mojim hodio,
If only My people would listen to Me, if Israel would follow My ways,
14 brzo bih pokorio dušmane njegove, ruku bih svoju okrenuo na protivnike njegove.
how soon I would subdue their enemies and turn My hand against their foes!
15 Oni što ga sada mrze dodvarali bi mu se i njihov bi udes bio zapečaćen zauvijek.
Those who hate the LORD would feign obedience, and their doom would last forever.
16 A svoj narod hranio bih pšenicom najboljom i sitio ga medom iz pećine.
But I would feed you the finest wheat; with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.”
