Psalms 81
1 Unto the end. For the wine and oil presses. A Psalm of Asaph himself. Exult before God our helper. Sing joyfully to the God of Jacob.
Glasno prepevajte Bogu, naši môči, naredite radosten glas Jakobovemu Bogu.
2 Take up a psalm, and bring forth the timbrel: a pleasing Psalter with stringed instruments.
Vzemite psalm in prinesite sèm tamburin, prijetno harfo s plunko.
3 Sound the trumpet at the new moon, on the noteworthy day of your solemnity,
Trobite na šofar ob mlaju, ob določenem času na naš slovesni praznični dan.
4 for it is a precept in Israel and a judgment for the God of Jacob.
Kajti to je bil zakon za Izraela in postava Jakobovega Boga.
5 He set it as a testimony with Joseph, when he went out of the land of Egypt. He heard a tongue that he did not know.
To je odredil v Jožefu za pričevanje, ko je šel ven skozi egiptovsko deželo, kjer sem slišal jezik, ki ga nisem razumel:
6 He turned the burdens away from his back. His hands had been a slave to baskets.
»Njegovo ramo sem odstranil od bremena, njegove roke so bile osvobojene pred lonci.
7 You called upon me in tribulation, and I freed you. I heard you within the hidden tempest. I tested you with waters of contradiction.
Ti kličeš v stiski in jaz sem te osvobodil, odgovoril sem ti na skrivnem kraju groma. Jaz sem te preizkusil pri vodah Meríbe. (Sela)
8 My people, listen and I will call you to testify. If, O Israel, you will pay heed to me,
Poslušaj, oh moje ljudstvo, pričeval ti bom, oh Izrael, če bi mi hotel prisluhniti.
9 then there will be no new god among you, nor will you adore a foreign god.
V tebi naj ne bo tujega boga niti ne boš oboževal nobenega tujega boga.
10 For I am the Lord your God, who led you out of the land of Egypt. Widen your mouth, and I will fill it.
Jaz sem Gospod, tvoj Bog, ki te je privedel iz egiptovske dežele. Široko odpri svoja usta in napolnil jih bom.
11 But my people did not hear my voice, and Israel was not attentive to me.
Toda moje ljudstvo noče prisluhniti mojemu glasu in Izrael noče ničesar od mene.
12 And so, I sent them away, according to the desires of their heart. They will go forth according to their own inventions.
Tako sem jih izročil njihovim lastnim srčnim željam in živeli so po svojih lastnih nasvetih.
13 If my people had heard me, if Israel had walked in my ways,
Oh, da bi mi moje ljudstvo prisluhnilo in bi Izrael hodil po mojih poteh!
14 I would have humbled their enemies, as if it were nothing, and I would have sent my hand upon those who troubled them.
Kmalu bi podjarmil njihove sovražnike in svojo roko obrnil zoper njihove nasprotnike.
15 The enemies of the Lord have lied to him, and their time will come, in every age.
Gospodovi sovražniki bi se morali podvreči pod njega, pa bi se njihov čas ohranil na veke.
16 And he fed them from the fat of the grain, and he saturated them with honey from the rock.
Hranil bi jih tudi z najodličnejšo pšenico in z medom iz skale bi te nasitil.«
