Psalms 81
1 For the Chief Musician; set to the Gittith. [A Psalm] of Asaph. Sing aloud unto God our strength: Make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.
Zborovođi. Po napjevu “Tijesci”. Asafov. Kliknite Bogu, našoj jakosti, kličite Bogu Jakovljevu!
2 Raise a song, and bring hither the timbrel, The pleasant harp with the psaltery.
Nek' zazvuče žice, nek' se čuje bubanj, svirajte u milozvučnu harfu s citarom!
3 Blow the trumpet at the new moon, At the full moon, on our feast-day.
Zatrubite u rog za mlađaka, za uštapa, na svetkovinu našu!
4 For it is a statute for Israel, An ordinance of the God of Jacob.
Jer to je propis Izraelu, zapovijed Boga Jakovljeva.
5 He appointed it in Joseph for a testimony, When he went out over the land of Egypt, [Where] I heard a language that I knew not.
Takav je zakon dao Josipu kad je izlazio iz zemlje Egipta.
6 I removed his shoulder from the burden: His hands were freed from the basket.
Šapat tajnovit čuh: “Oslobodih od tereta rame njegovo, ruke su mu slobodne od košare.
7 Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder; I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. (Selah)
U tjeskobi si zavapio i ja te izbavih; iz gromovna oblaka odgovorih tebi, iskušah te kod voda meripskih.
8 Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wouldest hearken unto me!
Slušaj, puče moj, i ja ću te opomenuti: o, da me poslušaš, Izraele!
9 There shall no strange god be in thee; Neither shalt thou worship any foreign god.
Nek' ne bude u tebe drugog boga i ne klanjaj se bogu tuđem!
10 I am Jehovah thy God, Who brought thee up out of the land of Egypt: Open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
Ja sam Jahve, Bog tvoj koji te izvedoh iz Egipta: otvori svoja usta da ih napunim!”
11 But my people hearkened not to my voice; And Israel would none of me.
“Ali moj narod ne slušaše glasa moga, Izrael me ne posluša.
12 So I let them go after the stubbornness of their heart, That they might walk in their own counsels.
Zato ga pustih okorjelom srcu njegovu: neka hodi kako mu se hoće!
13 Oh that my people would hearken unto me, That Israel would walk in my ways!
O, kad bi me narod moj slušao, kad bi Izrael putovima mojim hodio,
14 I would soon subdue their enemies, And turn my hand against their adversaries.
brzo bih pokorio dušmane njegove, ruku bih svoju okrenuo na protivnike njegove.
15 The haters of Jehovah should submit themselves unto him: But their time should endure for ever.
Oni što ga sada mrze dodvarali bi mu se i njihov bi udes bio zapečaćen zauvijek.
16 He would feed them also with the finest of the wheat; And with honey out of the rock would I satisfy thee.
A svoj narod hranio bih pšenicom najboljom i sitio ga medom iz pećine.
