Psalms 81
1 For the music director. On the gittith. A psalm of Asaph. Sing aloud to God our strength; shout for joy to the God of Jacob.
Radujte se Bogu, koji nam daje krjepost; poklikujte Bogu Jakovljevu.
2 Start the song! Play the tambourine, sweet-sounding lyre, and harp.
Podignite pjesme, dajte bubanj, slatke gusle sa psaltirom.
3 Blow the trumpet at the new moon, and at full moon, to begin our festivals,
Trubite o mijeni u trubu, o uštapu radi praznika našega.
4 for this is a rule for Israel, a regulation of the God of Jacob.
Jer je taki zakon u Izrailja, naredba od Boga Jakovljeva.
5 God made this statute for Joseph when he opposed the land of Egypt. I heard a voice I didn't know, saying:
Za svjedoèanstvo postavi Josifu ovo, kad iðaše na zemlju Misirsku. Jezik, kojega ne znah, èuh:
6 “I took the load from your shoulders; I freed your hands from carrying heavy baskets.
“Uklonio sam ramena njegova od bremena, ruke njegove oprostiše se kotarica.
7 In your suffering you cried out to me, and I saved you. I answered you from the thundercloud. I tested you at the waters of Meribah. (Selah)
U nevolji si me zazvao, i izbavih te, usliših te usred groma, na vodi Merivi iskušah te.
8 My people, listen to my warnings! Israel, please listen to me!
Slušaj, narode moj, i zasvjedoèiæu ti, Izrailju, o kad bi me poslušao:
9 There must not be a strange god among you; you must never bow down to foreign gods and worship them.
Da ne bude u tebe tuðega Boga, i Bogu stranome nemoj se klanjati.
10 I am the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt. Open your 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 didn't listen to me. Israel didn't want anything to do with me.
Ali ne posluša narod moj glasa mojega, Izrailj ne mari za me.
12 So I sent them away to follow their stubborn thinking, living as they chose.
I ja ih pustih na volju srca njihova, neka hode po svojim mislima.
13 If only my people would listen to me; if only Israel would follow my ways!
O kad bi narod moj slušao mene, i sinovi Izrailjevi hodili putovima mojim!
14 It wouldn't take me long to conquer their enemies, to strike down their foes.
Brzo bih pokorio neprijatelje njihove, i na protivnike njihove digao bih ruku svoju;
15 Those who hate the Lord would cringe before him, forever doomed.
Koji mrze na Gospoda, bili bi im pokorni, i dobri dani njihovi bili bi dovijeka;
16 But I would feed you the best wheat and satisfy you with honey from the rock.”
Najboljom bi pšenicom hranio njih, i medom bih iz kamena sitio ih.”
