Psalms 81

1 TO THE OVERSEER. ON THE GITTITH. BY ASAPH. Cry aloud to God our strength, Shout 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 Lift up a song, and give out a timbrel, A pleasant harp with stringed instrument.

唱起诗歌，打手鼓， 弹美琴与瑟。

3 Blow a horn in the month, In the new moon, at the day of our festival,

当在月朔并月望— 我们过节的日期吹角，

4 For it [is] a statute to Israel, An ordinance 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 has placed it—a testimony on Joseph, In his going forth over the land of Egypt. A lip, I have not known—I hear.

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 I turned aside his shoulder from the burden, His hands pass over from the basket.

神说：我使你的肩得脱重担， 你的手放下筐子。

7 In distress you have called and I deliver you, I answer you in the secret place of thunder, I try you by the waters of Meribah. (Selah)

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, O My people, and I testify to you, O Israel, if you 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 is not in you a strange god, And you do not bow yourself to a strange god.

在你当中，不可有别的神； 外邦的神，你也不可下拜。

10 I [am] your God YHWH, Who brings you up out of the land of Egypt. Enlarge your mouth, and I 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 did not listen to My voice, And Israel has not consented to Me.

无奈，我的民不听我的声音； 以色列全不理我。

12 And I send them away in the enmity of their heart, They walk in their own counsels.

我便任凭他们心里刚硬， 随自己的计谋而行。

13 O that My people were listening to Me, Israel would walk in My ways.

甚愿我的民肯听从我， 以色列肯行我的道，

14 As a little thing I cause their enemies to bow, And I turn back My hand against their adversaries,

我便速速治服他们的仇敌， 反手攻击他们的敌人。

15 Those hating YHWH should have feigned [obedience] to Him, And their time would last for all time.

恨耶和华的人必来投降， 但他的百姓必永久长存。

16 He causes him to eat of the fat of wheat, And I satisfy you [with] honey from a 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。
