Psalms 81
1 To the Overseer. — 'On the Gittith.' By Asaph. Cry aloud to God our strength, Shout to the God of Jacob.
Zborovođi. Po napjevu “Tijesci”. Asafov. Kliknite Bogu, našoj jakosti, kličite Bogu Jakovljevu!
2 Lift up a song, and give out a timbrel, A pleasant harp with psaltery.
Nek' zazvuče žice, nek' se čuje bubanj, svirajte u milozvučnu harfu s citarom!
3 Blow in the month a trumpet, In the new moon, at the day of our festival,
Zatrubite u rog za mlađaka, za uštapa, na svetkovinu našu!
4 For a statute to Israel it [is], An ordinance of the God of Jacob.
Jer to je propis Izraelu, zapovijed Boga Jakovljeva.
5 A testimony on Joseph He hath placed it, In his going forth over the land of Egypt. A lip, I have not known — I hear.
Takav je zakon dao Josipu kad je izlazio iz zemlje Egipta.
6 From the burden his shoulder I turned aside, His hands from the basket pass over.
Šapat tajnovit čuh: “Oslobodih od tereta rame njegovo, ruke su mu slobodne od košare.
7 In distress thou hast called and I deliver thee, I answer thee in the secret place of thunder, I try thee by the waters of Meribah. (Selah)
U tjeskobi si zavapio i ja te izbavih; iz gromovna oblaka odgovorih tebi, iskušah te kod voda meripskih.
8 Hear, O My people, and I testify to thee, O Israel, if thou dost hearken to me:
Slušaj, puče moj, i ja ću te opomenuti: o, da me poslušaš, Izraele!
9 There is not in thee a strange god, And thou bowest not thyself to a strange god.
Nek' ne bude u tebe drugog boga i ne klanjaj se bogu tuđem!
10 I [am] Jehovah thy God, Who bringeth thee up out of the land of Egypt. Enlarge thy mouth, and I fill it.
Ja sam Jahve, Bog tvoj koji te izvedoh iz Egipta: otvori svoja usta da ih napunim!”
11 But, My people hearkened not to My voice, And Israel hath not consented to Me.
“Ali moj narod ne slušaše glasa moga, Izrael me ne posluša.
12 And I send them away in the enmity of their heart, They walk in their own counsels.
Zato ga pustih okorjelom srcu njegovu: neka hodi kako mu se hoće!
13 O that My people were hearkening to Me, Israel in My ways would walk.
O, kad bi me narod moj slušao, kad bi Izrael putovima mojim hodio,
14 As a little thing their enemies I cause to bow, And against their adversaries I turn back My hand,
brzo bih pokorio dušmane njegove, ruku bih svoju okrenuo na protivnike njegove.
15 Those hating Jehovah feign obedience to Him, But their time is — to the age.
Oni što ga sada mrze dodvarali bi mu se i njihov bi udes bio zapečaćen zauvijek.
16 He causeth him to eat of the fat of wheat, And [with] honey from a rock I satisfy thee!
A svoj narod hranio bih pšenicom najboljom i sitio ga medom iz pećine.
