Psalmi 81
1 Zborovođi. Po napjevu “Tijesci”. Asafov. Kliknite Bogu, našoj jakosti, kličite Bogu Jakovljevu!
For the Leader; upon the Gittith. A Psalm of Asaph. Sing aloud unto God our strength; shout unto the God of Jacob.
2 Nek' zazvuče žice, nek' se čuje bubanj, svirajte u milozvučnu harfu s citarom!
Take up the melody, and sound the timbrel, the sweet harp with the psaltery.
3 Zatrubite u rog za mlađaka, za uštapa, na svetkovinu našu!
Blow the horn at the new moon, at the full moon for our feast-day.
4 Jer to je propis Izraelu, zapovijed Boga Jakovljeva.
For it 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 appointed it in Joseph for a testimony, when He went forth against the land of Egypt. The speech of one that I knew not did I hear:
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 didst call in trouble, and I rescued 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, O My people, and I will admonish 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 the LORD thy God, who 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 let them go after the stubbornness of their heart, that they might walk in their own counsels.
13 O, kad bi me narod moj slušao, kad bi Izrael putovima mojim hodio,
Oh that My people would hearken unto Me, that Israel would walk in My ways!
14 brzo bih pokorio dušmane njegove, ruku bih svoju okrenuo na protivnike njegove.
I would soon subdue their enemies, and turn 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 the LORD should dwindle away before Him; and their punishment should endure for ever.
16 A svoj narod hranio bih pšenicom najboljom i sitio ga medom iz pećine.
They should also be fed with the fat of wheat; and with honey out of the rock would I satisfy thee.'
