Psalms 81

1 To the chief Musician upon Gittith, [A Psalm] of Asaph. Sing aloud to God our strength: make a joyful noise to the God of Jacob.

Radujte se Bogu, koji nam daje krjepost; poklikujte Bogu Jakovljevu.

2 Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.

Podignite pjesme, dajte bubanj, slatke gusle sa psaltirom.

3 Blow the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.

Trubite o mijeni u trubu, o uštapu radi praznika našega.

4 For this [was] a statute for Israel, [and] a law of the God of Jacob.

Jer je taki zakon u Izrailja, naredba od Boga Jakovljeva.

5 This he ordained in Joseph [for] a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: [where] I heard a language [that] I understood not.

Za svjedoèanstvo postavi Josifu ovo, kad iðaše na zemlju Misirsku. Jezik, kojega ne znah, èuh:

6 I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots.

“Uklonio sam ramena njegova od bremena, ruke njegove oprostiše se kotarica.

7 Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder: I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. (Selah)

U nevolji si me zazvao, i izbavih te, usliših te usred groma, na vodi Merivi iskušah te.

8 Hear, O my people, and I will testify to thee; O Israel, if thou wilt hearken to me;

Slušaj, narode moj, i zasvjedoèiæu ti, Izrailju, o kad bi me poslušao:

9 There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god.

Da ne bude u tebe tuðega Boga, i Bogu stranome nemoj se klanjati.

10 I [am] the LORD thy God who brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

Ja sam Gospod, Bog tvoj, koji sam te izveo iz zemlje Misirske; otvori usta svoja, i ja æu ih napuniti.

11 But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would not obey me.

Ali ne posluša narod moj glasa mojega, Izrailj ne mari za me.

12 So I gave them up to their own hearts lust: [and] they walked in their own counsels.

I ja ih pustih na volju srca njihova, neka hode po svojim mislima.

13 O that my people had hearkened to me, [and] Israel had walked in my ways!

O kad bi narod moj slušao mene, i sinovi Izrailjevi hodili putovima mojim!

14 I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.

Brzo bih pokorio neprijatelje njihove, i na protivnike njihove digao bih ruku svoju;

15 The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves to him: and their time should have endured for ever.

Koji mrze na Gospoda, bili bi im pokorni, i dobri dani njihovi bili bi dovijeka;

16 He would have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock I should have satisfied thee.

Najboljom bi pšenicom hranio njih, i medom bih iz kamena sitio ih.”
