Psalms 81

1 TO THE OVERSEER. ON THE GITTITH. BY ASAPH. Cry aloud to God our strength, Shout to the God of Jacob.

亞薩的詩，交與伶長。用迦特樂器。 你們當向上帝－我們的力量大聲歡呼， 向雅各的上帝發聲歡樂！

2 Lift up a song, and give out a timbrel, A pleasant harp with stringed instrument.

唱起詩歌，打手鼓， 彈美琴與瑟。

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

當在月朔並月望－ 我們過節的日期吹角，

4 For it [is] a statute to Israel, An ordinance of the God of Jacob.

因這是為以色列定的律例， 是雅各上帝的典章。

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.

他去攻擊埃及地的時候， 在約瑟中間立此為證。 我在那裏聽見我所不明白的言語：

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

上帝說：我使你的肩得脫重擔， 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)

你在急難中呼求，我就搭救你； 我在雷的隱密處應允你， 在米利巴水那裏試驗你。 (細拉)

8 Hear, O My people, and I testify to you, O Israel, if you listen to me:

我的民哪，你當聽，我要勸戒你； 以色列啊，甚願你肯聽從我。

9 There is not in you a strange god, And you do not bow yourself to a strange god.

在你當中，不可有別的神； 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.

我是耶和華－你的上帝， 曾把你從埃及地領上來； 你要大大張口，我就給你充滿。

11 But My people did not listen to My voice, And Israel has not consented to Me.

無奈，我的民不聽我的聲音； 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.

我便任憑他們心裏剛硬， 隨自己的計謀而行。

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

甚願我的民肯聽從我， 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,

我便速速治服他們的仇敵， 反手攻擊他們的敵人。

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

恨耶和華的人必來投降， 但他的百姓必永久長存。

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

他也必拿上好的麥子給他們吃， 又拿從磐石出的蜂蜜叫他們飽足。
