Psalmi 81
1 Zborovođi. Po napjevu “Tijesci”. Asafov. Kliknite Bogu, našoj jakosti, kličite Bogu Jakovljevu!
Sing aloud 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!
Take a psalm, and bring here the tambourine, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.
3 Zatrubite u rog za mlađaka, za uštapa, na svetkovinu našu!
Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.
4 Jer to je propis Izraelu, zapovijed Boga Jakovljeva.
For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob.
5 Takav je zakon dao Josipu kad je izlazio iz zemlje Egipta.
This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I understood 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 delivered from the pots.
7 U tjeskobi si zavapio i ja te izbavih; iz gromovna oblaka odgovorih tebi, iskušah te kod voda meripskih.
You called in trouble, and I delivered you; I answered you in the secret place of thunder: I proved you 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 testify to you: O Israel, if you will listen to me;
9 Nek' ne bude u tebe drugog boga i ne klanjaj se bogu tuđem!
There shall no strange god be in you; neither shall you worship any strange god.
10 Ja sam Jahve, Bog tvoj koji te izvedoh iz Egipta: otvori svoja usta da ih napunim!”
I am the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt: open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.
11 “Ali moj narod ne slušaše glasa moga, Izrael me ne posluša.
But my people would not listen 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 to their own hearts’ lust: and they walked in their own counsels.
13 O, kad bi me narod moj slušao, kad bi Izrael putovima mojim hodio,
Oh that my people had listened to me, and Israel had walked in my ways!
14 brzo bih pokorio dušmane njegove, ruku bih svoju okrenuo na protivnike njegove.
I should 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 the LORD should have submitted themselves to him: but their time should have endured for ever.
16 A svoj narod hranio bih pšenicom najboljom i sitio ga medom iz pećine.
He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied you.
