Žalmy 81
1 Přednímu z kantorů na gittit, Azafovi. Plésejte Bohu, síle naší, prokřikujte Bohu Jákobovu.
Sing [songs] to praise God, who enables us to be strong [when we fight our enemies]; shout joyfully to God, whom we (descendants of Jacob/Israeli people) [worship]!
2 Vezměte žaltář, přidejte buben, harfu libou a loutnu.
Start [playing] the music, and beat the tambourines, and play nice music on the harps and (lyres/other stringed instruments).
3 Trubte trubou na novměsíce, v uložený čas, v den slavnosti naší.
Blow the trumpets [during the festival to celebrate] each new moon and each time the moon is full and during our [other] festivals.
4 Nebo toť jest ustavení v Izraeli, řád Boha Jákobova.
[Do that] because that is a law for [us] Israeli [people]; God commanded it for us descendants of Jacob.
5 Na svědectví v Jozefovi vyzdvihl jej, když byl vyšel proti zemi Egyptské, kdež jsme jazyk neznámý slýchati musili.
He commanded us Israeli [people to obey it] when he punished [the people of] Egypt. I heard someone [MTY] whose voice I did not recognize, saying,
6 Osvobodil jsem, dí Bůh, od břemene rameno jeho, a ruce jeho nádob zednických zproštěny byly.
“[After the rulers of Egypt forced you Israelis to work as slaves], I took those [heavy] burdens off your backs, and I enabled you to lay down those [heavy] baskets [of bricks that you were carrying].
7 V ssoužení tom, když jsi volal, vytrhl jsem tě, vyslyšel jsem tě z skrýše hromu, zkušoval jsem tě při vodách sváru. (Sélah)
When you were [greatly] distressed, you called [out to me], and I rescued you; I answered you out of a thundercloud. [Later] I tested [whether you would trust me to give you] water [when you were in the desert] at Meribah.
8 Řeklť jsem: Slyš, lide můj, a osvědčím se tobě, ó Izraeli, budeš-li mne poslouchati,
[You who are] my people, listen while I warn you! I wish that you Israeli [people] would pay attention to what I [say to you]!
9 A nebude-li mezi vámi Boha jiného, a nebudeš-li se klaněti bohu cizímu.
You must not have any idols of other gods among you; you must never bow to worship any of them!
10 Já jsem Hospodin Bůh tvůj, kterýž jsem tě vyvedl z země Egyptské, otevři jen ústa svá, a naplnímť je.
I am Yahweh, your God; It was [not any of those other gods] who brought you out of Egypt, I am the one who did it! [So] ask me what you want me to do for you [MTY], and I will do it.
11 Ale neuposlechl lid můj hlasu mého, a Izrael nepřestal na mně,
But my people would not listen to me [SYN]; they would not obey me.
12 A protož pustil jsem je v žádost srdce jejich, i chodili po radách svých.
So even though they were very stubborn, I allowed them to do whatever they wanted to do.
13 Ó byť mne byl lid můj poslouchal, a Izrael po cestách mých chodil,
I wish that my people would listen to me, that the Israeli [people] would behave as I want them to do.
14 Tudíž bych já byl nepřátely jejich snížil, a na protivníky jejich obrátil ruku svou.
[If they did that], I would quickly defeat their enemies; I would strike/punish [all of] them [DOU].
15 A ti, kteříž v nenávisti mají Hospodina, úlisně by se jim poddávati musili, i byl by čas jejich až na věky.
[Then all] those who hate me would (cringe before/bow down to) me, and [then I] would punish them [MTY] forever.
16 A krmil bych je byl jádrem pšenice, a medem z skály sytil bych je.
[But] I would give you [Israelis] very good wheat/grain, and I would fill your stomachs with wild honey.”
