Psalms 81
1 TO THE OVERSEER. ON THE GITTITH. BY ASAPH. Cry aloud to God our strength, Shout to the God of Jacob.
(Til Sangmesteren. Al-haggittit. Af Asaf.) Jubler for Gud, vor Styrke, råb af fryd for Jakobs Gud,
2 Lift up a song, and give out a timbrel, A pleasant harp with stringed instrument.
istem Lovsang, lad Pauken lyde, den liflige Citer og Harpen;
3 Blow a horn in the month, In the new moon, at the day of our festival,
stød i Hornet på Nymånedagen, ved Fuldmåneskin på vor Højtidsdag!
4 For it [is] a statute to Israel, An ordinance of the God of Jacob.
Thi det er Lov i Israel, et Bud fra Jakobs Gud;
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.
han gjorde det til en Vedtægt i Josef, da han drog ud fra Ægypten, hvor han hørte et Sprog, han ikke kendte.
6 I turned aside his shoulder from the burden, His hands pass over from the basket.
"Jeg fried hans Skulder for Byrden, hans Hænder slap fri for Kurven.
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)
I Nøden råbte du, og jeg frelste dig, jeg svarede dig i Tordenens Skjul, jeg prøvede dig ved Meribas Vande. (Sela)
8 Hear, O My people, and I testify to you, O Israel, if you listen to me:
Hør, mit Folk, jeg vil vidne for dig, Israel, ak, om du hørte mig!
9 There is not in you a strange god, And you do not bow yourself to a strange god.
En fremmed Gud må ej findes hos dig, tilbed ikke andres Gud!
10 I [am] your God YHWH, Who brings you up out of the land of Egypt. Enlarge your mouth, and I fill it.
Jeg, HERREN, jeg er din Gud! som førte dig op fra Ægypten; luk din Mund vidt op, og jeg vil fylde den!
11 But My people did not listen to My voice, And Israel has not consented to Me.
Men mit Folk vilde ikke høre min Røst, Israel lød mig ikke.
12 And I send them away in the enmity of their heart, They walk in their own counsels.
Da lod jeg dem fare i deres Stivsind, de vandrede efter deres egne Råd.
13 O that My people were listening to Me, Israel would walk in My ways.
Ak, vilde mit Folk dog høre mig, Israel gå mine Veje!
14 As a little thing I cause their enemies to bow, And I turn back My hand against their adversaries,
Da kued jeg snart deres Fjender, vendte min Hånd mod deres Uvenner!
15 Those hating YHWH should have feigned [obedience] to Him, And their time would last for all time.
Deres Avindsmænd skulde falde og gå til Grunde for evigt;
16 He causes him to eat of the fat of wheat, And I satisfy you [with] honey from a rock!
jeg nærede dig med Hvedens Fedme, mættede dig med Honning fra Klippen!"
