Psalmi 81

1 Glasno prepevajte Bogu, naši môči, naredite radosten glas Jakobovemu Bogu.

For the choirmaster. According to Gittith. Of Asaph. Sing for joy to God our strength; make a joyful noise to the God of Jacob.

2 Vzemite psalm in prinesite sèm tamburin, prijetno harfo s plunko.

Lift up a song, strike the tambourine, play the sweet-sounding harp and lyre.

3 Trobite na šofar ob mlaju, ob določenem času na naš slovesni praznični dan.

Sound the ram’s horn at the New Moon, and at the full moon on the day of our Feast.

4 Kajti to je bil zakon za Izraela in postava Jakobovega Boga.

For this is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob.

5 To je odredil v Jožefu za pričevanje, ko je šel ven skozi egiptovsko deželo, kjer sem slišal jezik, ki ga nisem razumel:

He ordained it as a testimony for Joseph when he went out over the land of Egypt, where I heard an unfamiliar language:

6 »Njegovo ramo sem odstranil od bremena, njegove roke so bile osvobojene pred lonci.

“I relieved his shoulder of the burden; his hands were freed from the basket.

7 Ti kličeš v stiski in jaz sem te osvobodil, odgovoril sem ti na skrivnem kraju groma. Jaz sem te preizkusil pri vodah Meríbe. (Sela)

You called out in distress, and I rescued you; I answered you from the cloud of thunder; I tested you at the waters of Meribah.

8 Poslušaj, oh moje ljudstvo, pričeval ti bom, oh Izrael, če bi mi hotel prisluhniti.

Hear, O My people, and I will warn you: O Israel, if only you would listen to Me!

9 V tebi naj ne bo tujega boga niti ne boš oboževal nobenega tujega boga.

There must be no strange god among you, nor shall you bow to a foreign god.

10 Jaz sem Gospod, tvoj Bog, ki te je privedel iz egiptovske dežele. Široko odpri svoja usta in napolnil jih bom.

I am the LORD your God, who brought you up out of Egypt. Open wide your mouth, and I will fill it.

11 Toda moje ljudstvo noče prisluhniti mojemu glasu in Izrael noče ničesar od mene.

But My people would not listen to Me, and Israel would not obey Me.

12 Tako sem jih izročil njihovim lastnim srčnim željam in živeli so po svojih lastnih nasvetih.

So I gave them up to their stubborn hearts to follow their own devices.

13 Oh, da bi mi moje ljudstvo prisluhnilo in bi Izrael hodil po mojih poteh!

If only My people would listen to Me, if Israel would follow My ways,

14 Kmalu bi podjarmil njihove sovražnike in svojo roko obrnil zoper njihove nasprotnike.

how soon I would subdue their enemies and turn My hand against their foes!

15 Gospodovi sovražniki bi se morali podvreči pod njega, pa bi se njihov čas ohranil na veke.

Those who hate the LORD would feign obedience, and their doom would last forever.

16 Hranil bi jih tudi z najodličnejšo pšenico in z medom iz skale bi te nasitil.«

But I would feed you the finest wheat; with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.”
