Psalmi 81
1 Zborovođi. Po napjevu “Tijesci”. Asafov. Kliknite Bogu, našoj jakosti, kličite Bogu Jakovljevu!
To the chief Musician. Upon the Gittith. [A Psalm] of Asaph. Sing ye joyously unto God our strength, shout aloud unto the God of Jacob;
2 Nek' zazvuče žice, nek' se čuje bubanj, svirajte u milozvučnu harfu s citarom!
Raise a song, and sound the tambour, the pleasant harp with the lute.
3 Zatrubite u rog za mlađaka, za uštapa, na svetkovinu našu!
Blow the trumpet at the new moon, at the set time, on our feast day:
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 in Joseph [for] a testimony, when he went forth over the land of Egypt, [where] I heard a language that I knew not.
6 Šapat tajnovit čuh: “Oslobodih od tereta rame njegovo, ruke su mu slobodne od košare.
I removed his shoulder from 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.
Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder; I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. (Selah)
8 Slušaj, puče moj, i ja ću te opomenuti: o, da me poslušaš, Izraele!
Hear, my people, and I will testify unto thee; O Israel, if thou wouldest hearken unto me!
9 Nek' ne bude u tebe drugog boga i ne klanjaj se bogu tuđem!
There shall no strange god be in thee, neither shalt thou worship any foreign god.
10 Ja sam Jahve, Bog tvoj koji te izvedoh iz Egipta: otvori svoja usta da ih napunim!”
I am Jehovah thy God, that brought thee up out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
11 “Ali moj narod ne slušaše glasa moga, Izrael me ne posluša.
But my people hearkened not to my voice, and Israel would none of me.
12 Zato ga pustih okorjelom srcu njegovu: neka hodi kako mu se hoće!
So I gave them up unto their own hearts' stubbornness: they walked after their own counsels.
13 O, kad bi me narod moj slušao, kad bi Izrael putovima mojim hodio,
Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, that Israel had walked in my ways!
14 brzo bih pokorio dušmane njegove, ruku bih svoju okrenuo na protivnike njegove.
I would soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.
15 Oni što ga sada mrze dodvarali bi mu se i njihov bi udes bio zapečaćen zauvijek.
The haters of Jehovah would have come cringing unto him; but their time would have been for ever.
16 A svoj narod hranio bih pšenicom najboljom i sitio ga medom iz pećine.
And he would have fed them with the finest of wheat; yea, with honey out of the rock would I have satisfied thee.
