Psalms 81
1 For the choirmaster. According to Gittith. Of Asaph. Sing for joy to God our strength; make a joyful noise to the God of Jacob.
in finem pro torcularibus Asaph exultate Deo adiutori nostro iubilate Deo Iacob
2 Lift up a song, strike the tambourine, play the sweet-sounding harp and lyre.
sumite psalmum et date tympanum psalterium iucundum cum cithara
3 Sound the ram’s horn at the New Moon, and at the full moon on the day of our Feast.
bucinate in neomenia tuba in insigni die sollemnitatis nostrae
4 For this is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob.
quia praeceptum Israhel est et iudicium Dei Iacob
5 He ordained it as a testimony for Joseph when he went out over the land of Egypt, where I heard an unfamiliar language:
testimonium in Ioseph posuit illud cum exiret de terra Aegypti linguam quam non noverat audivit
6 “I relieved his shoulder of the burden; his hands were freed from the basket.
devertit ab oneribus dorsum eius manus eius in cofino servierunt
7 You called out in distress, and I rescued you; I answered you from the cloud of thunder; I tested you at the waters of Meribah.
in tribulatione invocasti me et liberavi te exaudivi te in abscondito tempestatis probavi te apud aquam Contradictionis diapsalma
8 Hear, O My people, and I will warn you: O Israel, if only you would listen to Me!
audi populus meus et contestabor te Israhel si audias me
9 There must be no strange god among you, nor shall you bow to a foreign god.
non erit in te deus recens nec adorabis deum alienum
10 I am the LORD your God, who brought you up out of Egypt. Open wide your mouth, and I will fill it.
ego enim sum Dominus Deus tuus qui eduxi te de terra Aegypti dilata os tuum et implebo illud
11 But My people would not listen to Me, and Israel would not obey Me.
et non audivit populus meus vocem meam et Israhel non intendit mihi
12 So I gave them up to their stubborn hearts to follow their own devices.
et dimisi illos secundum desideria cordis eorum ibunt in adinventionibus suis
13 If only My people would listen to Me, if Israel would follow My ways,
si populus meus audisset me Israhel si in viis meis ambulasset
14 how soon I would subdue their enemies and turn My hand against their foes!
pro nihilo forsitan inimicos eorum humiliassem et super tribulantes eos misissem manum meam
15 Those who hate the LORD would feign obedience, and their doom would last forever.
inimici Domini mentiti sunt ei et erit tempus eorum in saeculo
16 But I would feed you the finest wheat; with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.”
et cibavit illos ex adipe frumenti et de petra melle saturavit illos
