Psalmi 81
1 Asafa dziesma, dziedātāju vadonim uz Ģittit. Dziediet priecīgi Dievam, mūsu stiprumam, gavilējiet Jēkaba Dievam.
Sing [songs] to praise God, who enables us to be strong [when we fight our enemies]; shout joyfully to God, whom we (descendants of Jacob/Israeli people) [worship]!
2 Uzdziedat dziesmas un dodiet šurp bungas, mīlīgas kokles ar stabulēm.
Start [playing] the music, and beat the tambourines, and play nice music on the harps and (lyres/other stringed instruments).
3 Pūtiet trumetes jaunā mēnesī, pilnā mēnesī, mūsu svētku laikā.
Blow the trumpets [during the festival to celebrate] each new moon and each time the moon is full and during our [other] festivals.
4 Jo tas ir likums iekš Israēla, tiesa no Jēkaba Dieva.
[Do that] because that is a law for [us] Israeli [people]; God commanded it for us descendants of Jacob.
5 To Viņš licis par liecību iekš Jāzepa, kad izgāja pār Ēģiptes zemi, kad es dzirdēju valodu, ko nesapratu.
He commanded us Israeli [people to obey it] when he punished [the people of] Egypt. I heard someone [MTY] whose voice I did not recognize, saying,
6 “Viņa kamiešiem Es esmu atņēmis nastu, un viņa rokas atsvabinājis no nestavas.
“[After the rulers of Egypt forced you Israelis to work as slaves], I took those [heavy] burdens off your backs, and I enabled you to lay down those [heavy] baskets [of bricks that you were carrying].
7 Kad tu Mani piesauci bēdās, tad Es tevi izglābu; Es tevi paklausīju, paslēpies pērkona padebešos, Es tevi pārmanīju pie bāršanās ūdens.
When you were [greatly] distressed, you called [out to me], and I rescued you; I answered you out of a thundercloud. [Later] I tested [whether you would trust me to give you] water [when you were in the desert] at Meribah.
8 Klausāties, Mani ļaudis, Es jums došu liecību; Israēl, kaut tu Mani klausītu!
[You who are] my people, listen while I warn you! I wish that you Israeli [people] would pay attention to what I [say to you]!
9 Lai tavā starpā nav cita Dieva, un tev nebūs pielūgt svešu Dievu.
You must not have any idols of other gods among you; you must never bow to worship any of them!
10 Es esmu Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, kas tevi izvedis no Ēģiptes zemes; atplet savu muti, lai Es to pildu.
I am Yahweh, your God; It was [not any of those other gods] who brought you out of Egypt, I am the one who did it! [So] ask me what you want me to do for you [MTY], and I will do it.
11 Bet Mani ļaudis neklausa Manu balsi un Israēlim Manis negribās.
But my people would not listen to me [SYN]; they would not obey me.
12 Tad Es tos arī esmu pametis viņu cietam sirds prātam, ka tie staigā pēc saviem padomiem.
So even though they were very stubborn, I allowed them to do whatever they wanted to do.
13 Kaut Mani ļaudis Man klausītu, un Israēls staigātu uz Maniem ceļiem!
I wish that my people would listen to me, that the Israeli [people] would behave as I want them to do.
14 Es pazemotu viņu ienaidniekus drīz un grieztu Savu roku pret viņu spaidītājiem.
[If they did that], I would quickly defeat their enemies; I would strike/punish [all of] them [DOU].
15 Kas To Kungu ienīst, tiem bija Viņam padoties, tad tie mūžīgi pastāvētu.
[Then all] those who hate me would (cringe before/bow down to) me, and [then I] would punish them [MTY] forever.
16 Un Viņš tos barotu ar briedušiem kviešiem, un ar medu no akmens kalna Es tevi pieēdinātu.”
[But] I would give you [Israelis] very good wheat/grain, and I would fill your stomachs with wild honey.”
