Psalmi 81
1 Zborovođi. Po napjevu “Tijesci”. Asafov. Kliknite Bogu, našoj jakosti, kličite Bogu Jakovljevu!
For the end, a Psalm for Asaph, concerning the wine presses. Rejoice you in God our helper; shout aloud to the God of Jacob.
2 Nek' zazvuče žice, nek' se čuje bubanj, svirajte u milozvučnu harfu s citarom!
Take a psalm, and produce the timbrel, the pleasant lute with the harp.
3 Zatrubite u rog za mlađaka, za uštapa, na svetkovinu našu!
Blow the trumpet at the new moon, in the glorious day of your feast.
4 Jer to je propis Izraelu, zapovijed Boga Jakovljeva.
For [this] is an ordinance for Israel, and a statute of the God of Jacob.
5 Takav je zakon dao Josipu kad je izlazio iz zemlje Egipta.
He made it [to be] a testimony in Joseph, when he came forth out of the land of Egypt: he heard a language which he understood not.
6 Šapat tajnovit čuh: “Oslobodih od tereta rame njegovo, ruke su mu slobodne od košare.
He removed his back from burdens: his hands slaved in making the baskets.
7 U tjeskobi si zavapio i ja te izbavih; iz gromovna oblaka odgovorih tebi, iskušah te kod voda meripskih.
You did call upon me in trouble, and I delivered you; I heard you in the secret place of the storm: I proved you at the water of Strife. (Pause)
8 Slušaj, puče moj, i ja ću te opomenuti: o, da me poslušaš, Izraele!
Hear, my people, and I will speak to you, O Israel; and I will testify to you: if you will listen to me;
9 Nek' ne bude u tebe drugog boga i ne klanjaj se bogu tuđem!
there shall be no new god in you; neither shall you worship a strange god.
10 Ja sam Jahve, Bog tvoj koji te izvedoh iz Egipta: otvori svoja usta da ih napunim!”
For I am the Lord your God, that 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 listened not to my voice; and Israel gave no heed to me.
12 Zato ga pustih okorjelom srcu njegovu: neka hodi kako mu se hoće!
So I let them go after the ways of their own hearts: they will go on in their own ways.
13 O, kad bi me narod moj slušao, kad bi Izrael putovima mojim hodio,
If my people had listened to me, if Israel had walked in my ways,
14 brzo bih pokorio dušmane njegove, ruku bih svoju okrenuo na protivnike njegove.
I should have put down their enemies very quickly, and should have laid my hand upon those that afflicted them.
15 Oni što ga sada mrze dodvarali bi mu se i njihov bi udes bio zapečaćen zauvijek.
The Lord's enemies [should have] lied to him: but their time shall be for ever.
16 A svoj narod hranio bih pšenicom najboljom i sitio ga medom iz pećine.
And he fed them with the fat of wheat; and satisfied them with honey out of the rock.
