Псалтирь 81
1 В конец, о точилех, псалом Асафу. Радуйтеся Богу помощнику нашему, воскликните Богу Иаковлю:
For the Chief Musician. On an instrument of Gath. By Asaph. Sing aloud to God, our strength! Make a joyful shout to the God of Jacob!
2 приимите псалом и дадите тимпан, псалтирь красен с гусльми:
Raise a song, and bring here the tambourine, the pleasant lyre with the harp.
3 вострубите в новомесячии трубою, во благознаменитый день праздника вашего:
Blow the trumpet at the New Moon, at the full moon, on our feast day.
4 яко повеление Израилеви есть, и судба Богу Иаковлю.
For it is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob.
5 Свидение во Иосифе положи е, внегда изыти ему от земли Египетския: языка, егоже не ведяше, услыша.
He appointed it in Joseph for a covenant, when he went out over the land of Egypt, I heard a language that I didn’t know.
6 Отят от бремене хребет его: руце его в коши поработасте.
“I removed his shoulder from the burden. His hands were freed from the basket.
7 В скорби призвал Мя еси, и избавих тя: услышах тя в тайне бурне: искусих тя на воде Пререкания.
You called in trouble, and I delivered you. I answered you in the secret place of thunder. I tested you at the waters of Meribah.” (Selah)
8 Слышите, людие Мои, и засвидетелствую вам, Израилю, аще послушаеши Мене:
“Hear, my people, and I will testify to you, Israel, if you would listen to me!
9 не будет тебе бог нов, ниже поклонишися богу чуждему.
There shall be no strange god in you, neither shall you worship any foreign god.
10 Аз бо есмь Господь Бог твой, изведый тя от земли Египетския: разшири уста твоя, и исполню я.
I am the LORD, your God, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.
11 И не послушаша людие Мои гласа Моего, и Израиль не внят Ми:
But my people didn’t listen to my voice. Israel desired none of me.
12 и отпустих я по начинанием сердец их, пойдут в начинаниих своих.
So I let them go after the stubbornness of their hearts, that they might walk in their own counsels.
13 Аще быша людие Мои послушали Мене, Израиль аще бы в пути Моя ходил:
Oh that my people would listen to me, that Israel would walk in my ways!
14 ни о чесомже убо враги его смирил бых, и на оскорбляющыя их возложил бых руку Мою.
I would soon subdue their enemies, and turn my hand against their adversaries.
15 Врази Господни солгаша ему, и будет время их в век:
The haters of the LORD would cringe before him, and their punishment would last forever.
16 и напита их от тука пшенична, и от камене меда насыти их.
But he would have also fed them with the finest of the wheat. I will satisfy you with honey out of the rock.”
