< Psalmorum 81 >

1 In finem, pro torcularibus. Psalmus ipsi Asaph. Exsultate Deo adjutori nostro; jubilate Deo Jacob.
TO THE OVERSEER. ON THE GITTITH. BY ASAPH. Cry aloud to God our strength, Shout to the God of Jacob.
2 Sumite psalmum, et date tympanum; psalterium jucundum cum cithara.
Lift up a song, and give out a timbrel, A pleasant harp with stringed instrument.
3 Buccinate in neomenia tuba, in insigni die solemnitatis vestræ:
Blow a horn in the month, In the new moon, at the day of our festival,
4 quia præceptum in Israël est, et judicium Deo Jacob.
For it [is] a statute to Israel, An ordinance of the God of Jacob.
5 Testimonium in Joseph posuit illud, cum exiret de terra Ægypti; linguam quam non noverat, audivit.
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.
6 Divertit ab oneribus dorsum ejus; manus ejus in cophino servierunt.
I turned aside his shoulder from the burden, His hands pass over from the basket.
7 In tribulatione invocasti me, et liberavi te. Exaudivi te in abscondito tempestatis; probavi te apud aquam contradictionis.
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)
8 Audi, populus meus, et contestabor te. Israël, si audieris me,
Hear, O My people, and I testify to you, O Israel, if you listen to me:
9 non erit in te deus recens, neque adorabis deum alienum.
There is not in you a strange god, And you do not bow yourself to a strange god.
10 Ego enim sum Dominus Deus tuus, qui eduxi te de terra Ægypti. Dilata os tuum, et implebo illud.
I [am] your God YHWH, Who brings you up out of the land of Egypt. Enlarge your mouth, and I fill it.
11 Et non audivit populus meus vocem meam, et Israël non intendit mihi.
But My people did not listen to My voice, And Israel has not consented to Me.
12 Et dimisi eos secundum desideria cordis eorum; ibunt in adinventionibus suis.
And I send them away in the enmity of their heart, They walk in their own counsels.
13 Si populus meus audisset me, Israël si in viis meis ambulasset,
O that My people were listening to Me, Israel would walk in My ways.
14 pro nihilo forsitan inimicos eorum humiliassem, et super tribulantes eos misissem manum meam.
As a little thing I cause their enemies to bow, And I turn back My hand against their adversaries,
15 Inimici Domini mentiti sunt ei, et erit tempus eorum in sæcula.
Those hating YHWH should have feigned [obedience] to Him, And their time would last for all time.
16 Et cibavit eos ex adipe frumenti, et de petra melle saturavit eos.
He causes him to eat of the fat of wheat, And I satisfy you [with] honey from a rock!
