Psalms 81
1 To the chief Musician. Upon the Gittith. [A Psalm] of Asaph. Sing ye joyously unto God our strength, shout aloud unto the God of Jacob;
Radujte se Bogu, koji nam daje krjepost; poklikujte Bogu Jakovljevu.
2 Raise a song, and sound the tambour, the pleasant harp with the lute.
Podignite pjesme, dajte bubanj, slatke gusle sa psaltirom.
3 Blow the trumpet at the new moon, at the set time, on our feast day:
Trubite o mijeni u trubu, o uštapu radi praznika našega.
4 For this is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob;
Jer je taki zakon u Izrailja, naredba od Boga Jakovljeva.
5 He ordained it in Joseph [for] a testimony, when he went forth over the land of Egypt, [where] I heard a language that I knew not.
Za svjedoèanstvo postavi Josifu ovo, kad iðaše na zemlju Misirsku. Jezik, kojega ne znah, èuh:
6 I removed his shoulder from the burden; his hands were freed from the basket.
“Uklonio sam ramena njegova od bremena, ruke njegove oprostiše se kotarica.
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 nevolji si me zazvao, i izbavih te, usliših te usred groma, na vodi Merivi iskušah te.
8 Hear, my people, and I will testify unto thee; O Israel, if thou wouldest hearken unto me!
Slušaj, narode moj, i zasvjedoèiæu ti, Izrailju, o kad bi me poslušao:
9 There shall no strange god be in thee, neither shalt thou worship any foreign god.
Da ne bude u tebe tuðega Boga, i Bogu stranome nemoj se klanjati.
10 I am Jehovah thy God, that brought thee up out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
Ja sam Gospod, Bog tvoj, koji sam te izveo iz zemlje Misirske; otvori usta svoja, i ja æu ih napuniti.
11 But my people hearkened not to my voice, and Israel would none of me.
Ali ne posluša narod moj glasa mojega, Izrailj ne mari za me.
12 So I gave them up unto their own hearts' stubbornness: they walked after their own counsels.
I ja ih pustih na volju srca njihova, neka hode po svojim mislima.
13 Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, that Israel had walked in my ways!
O kad bi narod moj slušao mene, i sinovi Izrailjevi hodili putovima mojim!
14 I would soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.
Brzo bih pokorio neprijatelje njihove, i na protivnike njihove digao bih ruku svoju;
15 The haters of Jehovah would have come cringing unto him; but their time would have been for ever.
Koji mrze na Gospoda, bili bi im pokorni, i dobri dani njihovi bili bi dovijeka;
16 And he would have fed them with the finest of wheat; yea, with honey out of the rock would I have satisfied thee.
Najboljom bi pšenicom hranio njih, i medom bih iz kamena sitio ih.”
