< Psalmi 81 >
1 Radujte se Bogu, koji nam daje krjepost; poklikujte Bogu Jakovljevu.
To the chief Musician upon Gittith, [A Psalm] of Asaph. Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.
2 Podignite pjesme, dajte bubanj, slatke gusle sa psaltirom.
Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.
3 Trubite o mijeni u trubu, o uštapu radi praznika našega.
Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.
4 Jer je taki zakon u Izrailja, naredba od Boga Jakovljeva.
For this [was] a statute for Israel, [and] a law of the God of Jacob.
5 Za svjedoèanstvo postavi Josifu ovo, kad iðaše na zemlju Misirsku. Jezik, kojega ne znah, èuh:
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.
6 “Uklonio sam ramena njegova od bremena, ruke njegove oprostiše se kotarica.
I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots.
7 U nevolji si me zazvao, i izbavih te, usliših te usred groma, na vodi Merivi iskušah te.
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)
8 Slušaj, narode moj, i zasvjedoèiæu ti, Izrailju, o kad bi me poslušao:
Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me;
9 Da ne bude u tebe tuðega Boga, i Bogu stranome nemoj se klanjati.
There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god.
10 Ja sam Gospod, Bog tvoj, koji sam te izveo iz zemlje Misirske; otvori usta svoja, i ja æu ih napuniti.
I [am] the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
11 Ali ne posluša narod moj glasa mojega, Izrailj ne mari za me.
But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me.
12 I ja ih pustih na volju srca njihova, neka hode po svojim mislima.
So I gave them up unto their own hearts’ lust: [and] they walked in their own counsels.
13 O kad bi narod moj slušao mene, i sinovi Izrailjevi hodili putovima mojim!
Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, [and] Israel had walked in my ways!
14 Brzo bih pokorio neprijatelje njihove, i na protivnike njihove digao bih ruku svoju;
I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.
15 Koji mrze na Gospoda, bili bi im pokorni, i dobri dani njihovi bili bi dovijeka;
The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto him: but their time should have endured for ever.
16 Najboljom bi pšenicom hranio njih, i medom bih iz kamena sitio ih.”
He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee.
