Psalmi 81
1 Zborovođi. Po napjevu “Tijesci”. Asafov. Kliknite Bogu, našoj jakosti, kličite Bogu Jakovljevu!
To the chief music-maker; put to the Gittith. Of Asaph. Make a song to God our strength: make a glad cry to the God of Jacob.
2 Nek' zazvuče žice, nek' se čuje bubanj, svirajte u milozvučnu harfu s citarom!
Take up the melody, playing on an instrument of music, even on corded instruments.
3 Zatrubite u rog za mlađaka, za uštapa, na svetkovinu našu!
Let the horn be sounded in the time of the new moon, at the full moon, on our holy feast-day:
4 Jer to je propis Izraelu, zapovijed Boga Jakovljeva.
For this is a rule for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob.
5 Takav je zakon dao Josipu kad je izlazio iz zemlje Egipta.
He gave it to Joseph as a witness, when he went out over the land of Egypt; then the words of a strange tongue were sounding in my ears.
6 Šapat tajnovit čuh: “Oslobodih od tereta rame njegovo, ruke su mu slobodne od košare.
I took the weight from his back; his hands were made free from the baskets.
7 U tjeskobi si zavapio i ja te izbavih; iz gromovna oblaka odgovorih tebi, iskušah te kod voda meripskih.
You gave a cry in your trouble, and I made you free; I gave you an answer in the secret place of the thunder; I put you to the test at the waters of Meribah. (Selah)
8 Slušaj, puče moj, i ja ću te opomenuti: o, da me poslušaš, Izraele!
Give ear, O my people, and I will give you my word, O Israel, if you will only do as I say!
9 Nek' ne bude u tebe drugog boga i ne klanjaj se bogu tuđem!
There is to be no strange god among you; you are not to give worship to any other 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 took you up from the land of Egypt: let your mouth be open wide, so that I may give you food.
11 “Ali moj narod ne slušaše glasa moga, Izrael me ne posluša.
But my people did not give ear to my voice; Israel would have nothing to do with me.
12 Zato ga pustih okorjelom srcu njegovu: neka hodi kako mu se hoće!
So I gave them up to the desires of their hearts; that they might go after their evil purposes.
13 O, kad bi me narod moj slušao, kad bi Izrael putovima mojim hodio,
If only my people would give ear to me, walking in my ways!
14 brzo bih pokorio dušmane njegove, ruku bih svoju okrenuo na protivnike njegove.
I would quickly overcome their haters: my hand would be turned against those who make war on them.
15 Oni što ga sada mrze dodvarali bi mu se i njihov bi udes bio zapečaćen zauvijek.
The haters of the Lord would be broken, and their destruction would be eternal.
16 A svoj narod hranio bih pšenicom najboljom i sitio ga medom iz pećine.
I would give them the best grain for food; you would be full of honey from the rock.
