< Psalms 81 >
1 To the ouercomer in the pressours of Asaph. Make ye fulli ioye to God, oure helpere; synge ye hertli to 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 Take ye a salm, and yyue ye a tympan; a myrie sautere with an harpe.
唱起詩歌,打手鼓, 彈美琴與瑟。
3 Blowe ye with a trumpe in Neomenye; in the noble dai of youre solempnite.
當在月朔並月望- 我們過節的日期吹角,
4 For whi comaundement is in Israel; and doom is to God of Jacob.
因這是為以色列定的律例, 是雅各上帝的典章。
5 He settide that witnessing in Joseph; whanne he yede out of the lond of Egipt, he herde a langage, which he knew not.
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 He turnede a wei his bak fro birthens; hise hondis serueden in a coffyn.
上帝說:我使你的肩得脫重擔, 你的手放下筐子。
7 In tribulacioun thou inwardli clepidist me, and Y delyuerede thee; Y herde thee in the hid place of tempest, Y preuede thee at the water of ayenseiyng.
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 My puple, here thou, and Y schal be witnesse ayens thee;
我的民哪,你當聽,我要勸戒你; 以色列啊,甚願你肯聽從我。
9 Israel, if thou herist me, a fresche God schal not be in thee, and thou schalt not worschipe an alien god.
在你當中,不可有別的神; 外邦的神,你也不可下拜。
10 For Y am thi Lord God, that ladde thee out of the lond of Egipt; make large thi mouth, and Y schal fille 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 And my puple herde not my vois; and Israel yaue not tente to me.
無奈,我的民不聽我的聲音; 以色列全不理我。
12 And Y lefte hem aftir the desiris of her herte; thei schulen go in her fyndyngis.
我便任憑他們心裏剛硬, 隨自己的計謀而行。
13 If my puple hadde herde me; if Israel hadde go in my weies.
甚願我的民肯聽從我, 以色列肯行我的道,
14 For nouyt in hap Y hadde maad low her enemyes; and Y hadde send myn hond on men doynge tribulacioun to hem.
我便速速治服他們的仇敵, 反手攻擊他們的敵人。
15 The enemyes of the Lord lieden to hym; and her tyme schal be in to worldis.
恨耶和華的人必來投降, 但他的百姓必永久長存。
16 And he fedde hem of the fatnesse of whete; and he fillide hem with hony of the stoon.
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。
