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.
Zborovođi. Po napjevu “Tijesci”. Asafov. Kliknite Bogu, našoj jakosti, kličite Bogu Jakovljevu!
2 Take a psalm, and produce the timbrel, the pleasant lute with the harp.
Nek' zazvuče žice, nek' se čuje bubanj, svirajte u milozvučnu harfu s citarom!
3 Blow the trumpet at the new moon, in the glorious day of your feast.
Zatrubite u rog za mlađaka, za uštapa, na svetkovinu našu!
4 For [this] is an ordinance for Israel, and a statute of the God of Jacob.
Jer to je propis Izraelu, zapovijed Boga Jakovljeva.
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.
Takav je zakon dao Josipu kad je izlazio iz zemlje Egipta.
6 He removed his back from burdens: his hands slaved in making the baskets.
Šapat tajnovit čuh: “Oslobodih od tereta rame njegovo, ruke su mu slobodne od košare.
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)
U tjeskobi si zavapio i ja te izbavih; iz gromovna oblaka odgovorih tebi, iskušah te kod voda meripskih.
8 Hear, my people, and I will speak to you, O Israel; and I will testify to you: if you will listen to me;
Slušaj, puče moj, i ja ću te opomenuti: o, da me poslušaš, Izraele!
9 there shall be no new god in you; neither shall you worship a strange god.
Nek' ne bude u tebe drugog boga i ne klanjaj se bogu tuđem!
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.
Ja sam Jahve, Bog tvoj koji te izvedoh iz Egipta: otvori svoja usta da ih napunim!”
11 But my people listened not to my voice; and Israel gave no heed to me.
“Ali moj narod ne slušaše glasa moga, Izrael me ne posluša.
12 So I let them go after the ways of their own hearts: they will go on in their own ways.
Zato ga pustih okorjelom srcu njegovu: neka hodi kako mu se hoće!
13 If my people had listened to me, if Israel had walked in my ways,
O, kad bi me narod moj slušao, kad bi Izrael putovima mojim hodio,
14 I should have put down their enemies very quickly, and should have laid my hand upon those that afflicted them.
brzo bih pokorio dušmane njegove, ruku bih svoju okrenuo na protivnike njegove.
15 The Lord's enemies [should have] lied to him: but their time shall be for ever.
Oni što ga sada mrze dodvarali bi mu se i njihov bi udes bio zapečaćen zauvijek.
16 And he fed them with the fat of wheat; and satisfied them with honey out of the rock.
A svoj narod hranio bih pšenicom najboljom i sitio ga medom iz pećine.
