Psalmi 81
1 Zborovođi. Po napjevu “Tijesci”. Asafov. Kliknite Bogu, našoj jakosti, kličite Bogu Jakovljevu!
“For the leader of the music. On the Gittith. A psalm of Asaph.” Sing joyfully to God, our strength! Shout with gladness to the God of Jacob!
2 Nek' zazvuče žice, nek' se čuje bubanj, svirajte u milozvučnu harfu s citarom!
Raise a song, and strike the timbrel, The sweet-sounding harp, and the psaltery!
3 Zatrubite u rog za mlađaka, za uštapa, na svetkovinu našu!
Blow the trumpet at the new moon; At the full moon, also, on our festal day!
4 Jer to je propis Izraelu, zapovijed Boga Jakovljeva.
For this is a statute for Israel, A law of the God of Jacob;
5 Takav je zakon dao Josipu kad je izlazio iz zemlje Egipta.
He appointed it as a memorial in Joseph, When he went out of the land of Egypt, Where he heard a language which he knew not.
6 Šapat tajnovit čuh: “Oslobodih od tereta rame njegovo, ruke su mu slobodne od košare.
“I relieved [[said he]] thy shoulders from their burden; Thy hands were removed from the hod.
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 delivered thee; In the secret place of thunder I answered thee; I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. (Pause)
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! that thou wouldst hearken to me!
9 Nek' ne bude u tebe drugog boga i ne klanjaj se bogu tuđem!
Let there be no strange god within thee, Nor worship thou any foreign god!
10 Ja sam Jahve, Bog tvoj koji te izvedoh iz Egipta: otvori svoja usta da ih napunim!”
I Jehovah am thy God, Who brought thee out of the land of Egypt: Open wide thy mouth, 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 not hearken to me.
12 Zato ga pustih okorjelom srcu njegovu: neka hodi kako mu se hoće!
So I gave them up to the obstinacy of their hearts, And they walked according to their own devices.
13 O, kad bi me narod moj slušao, kad bi Izrael putovima mojim hodio,
“O that my people had hearkened to me! That Israel had walked in my ways!
14 brzo bih pokorio dušmane njegove, ruku bih svoju okrenuo na protivnike njegove.
Soon would I have brought low 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 should have become suppliants to them, And their prosperity should have endured for ever.
16 A svoj narod hranio bih pšenicom najboljom i sitio ga medom iz pećine.
With the finest of the wheat I would have fed them, And with honey out of the rock would I have satisfied them.”
