Psalms 81

1 For the end, a Psalm for Asaph, concerning the wine presses. Rejoice you in God our helper; shout aloud to the God of Jacob.

亚萨的诗，交与伶长。用迦特乐器。 你们当向 神—我们的力量大声欢呼， 向雅各的 神发声欢乐！

2 Take a psalm, and produce the timbrel, the pleasant lute with the harp.

唱起诗歌，打手鼓， 弹美琴与瑟。

3 Blow the trumpet at the new moon, in the glorious day of your feast.

当在月朔并月望— 我们过节的日期吹角，

4 For [this] is an ordinance for Israel, and a statute of the God of Jacob.

因这是为以色列定的律例， 是雅各 神的典章。

5 He made it [to be] a testimony in Joseph, when he came forth out of the land of Egypt: he heard a language which he understood not.

他去攻击埃及地的时候， 在约瑟中间立此为证。 我在那里听见我所不明白的言语：

6 He removed his back from burdens: his hands slaved in making the baskets.

神说：我使你的肩得脱重担， 你的手放下筐子。

7 You did call upon me in trouble, and I delivered you; I heard you in the secret place of the storm: I proved you at the water of Strife. (Pause)

你在急难中呼求，我就搭救你； 我在雷的隐密处应允你， 在米利巴水那里试验你。 (细拉)

8 Hear, my people, and I will speak to you, O Israel; and I will testify to you: if you will listen to me;

我的民哪，你当听，我要劝戒你； 以色列啊，甚愿你肯听从我。

9 there shall be no new god in you; neither shall you worship a strange god.

在你当中，不可有别的神； 外邦的神，你也不可下拜。

10 For I am the Lord your God, that brought you out of the land of Egypt: open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.

我是耶和华—你的 神， 曾把你从埃及地领上来； 你要大大张口，我就给你充满。

11 But my people listened not to my voice; and Israel gave no heed to me.

无奈，我的民不听我的声音； 以色列全不理我。

12 So I let them go after the ways of their own hearts: they will go on in their own ways.

我便任凭他们心里刚硬， 随自己的计谋而行。

13 If my people had listened to me, if Israel had walked in my ways,

甚愿我的民肯听从我， 以色列肯行我的道，

14 I should have put down their enemies very quickly, and should have laid my hand upon those that afflicted them.

我便速速治服他们的仇敌， 反手攻击他们的敌人。

15 The Lord's enemies [should have] lied to him: but their time shall be for ever.

恨耶和华的人必来投降， 但他的百姓必永久长存。

16 And he fed them with the fat of wheat; and satisfied them with honey out of the rock.

他也必拿上好的麦子给他们吃， 又拿从磐石出的蜂蜜叫他们饱足。
