Psalmi 81
1 Radujte se Bogu, koji nam daje krjepost; poklikujte Bogu Jakovljevu.
“For the leader of the music. On the Gittith. A psalm of Asaph.” Sing joyfully to God, our strength! Shout with gladness to the God of Jacob!
2 Podignite pjesme, dajte bubanj, slatke gusle sa psaltirom.
Raise a song, and strike the timbrel, The sweet-sounding harp, and the psaltery!
3 Trubite o mijeni u trubu, o uštapu radi praznika našega.
Blow the trumpet at the new moon; At the full moon, also, on our festal day!
4 Jer je taki zakon u Izrailja, naredba od Boga Jakovljeva.
For this is a statute for Israel, A law of the God of Jacob;
5 Za svjedoèanstvo postavi Josifu ovo, kad iðaše na zemlju Misirsku. Jezik, kojega ne znah, èuh:
He appointed it as a memorial in Joseph, When he went out of the land of Egypt, Where he heard a language which he knew not.
6 “Uklonio sam ramena njegova od bremena, ruke njegove oprostiše se kotarica.
“I relieved [[said he]] thy shoulders from their burden; Thy hands were removed from the hod.
7 U nevolji si me zazvao, i izbavih te, usliših te usred groma, na vodi Merivi iskušah te.
Thou didst call in trouble, and I delivered thee; In the secret place of thunder I answered thee; I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. (Pause)
8 Slušaj, narode moj, i zasvjedoèiæu ti, Izrailju, o kad bi me poslušao:
Hear, O my people! and I will admonish thee! O Israel! that thou wouldst hearken to me!
9 Da ne bude u tebe tuðega Boga, i Bogu stranome nemoj se klanjati.
Let there be no strange god within thee, Nor worship thou any foreign god!
10 Ja sam Gospod, Bog tvoj, koji sam te izveo iz zemlje Misirske; otvori usta svoja, i ja æu ih napuniti.
I Jehovah am thy God, Who brought thee out of the land of Egypt: Open wide thy mouth, and I will fill it!
11 Ali ne posluša narod moj glasa mojega, Izrailj ne mari za me.
But my people would not listen to my voice, And Israel would not hearken to me.
12 I ja ih pustih na volju srca njihova, neka hode po svojim mislima.
So I gave them up to the obstinacy of their hearts, And they walked according to their own devices.
13 O kad bi narod moj slušao mene, i sinovi Izrailjevi hodili putovima mojim!
“O that my people had hearkened to me! That Israel had walked in my ways!
14 Brzo bih pokorio neprijatelje njihove, i na protivnike njihove digao bih ruku svoju;
Soon would I have brought low 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 Jehovah should have become suppliants to them, And their prosperity should have endured for ever.
16 Najboljom bi pšenicom hranio njih, i medom bih iz kamena sitio ih.”
With the finest of the wheat I would have fed them, And with honey out of the rock would I have satisfied them.”
