Psalmi 81
1 Glasno prepevajte Bogu, naši môči, naredite radosten glas Jakobovemu Bogu.
To the chief music-maker; put to the Gittith. Of Asaph. Make a song to God our strength: make a glad cry to the God of Jacob.
2 Vzemite psalm in prinesite sèm tamburin, prijetno harfo s plunko.
Take up the melody, playing on an instrument of music, even on corded instruments.
3 Trobite na šofar ob mlaju, ob določenem času na naš slovesni praznični dan.
Let the horn be sounded in the time of the new moon, at the full moon, on our holy feast-day:
4 Kajti to je bil zakon za Izraela in postava Jakobovega Boga.
For this is a rule for Israel, and a law 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 gave it to Joseph as a witness, when he went out over the land of Egypt; then the words of a strange tongue were sounding in my ears.
6 »Njegovo ramo sem odstranil od bremena, njegove roke so bile osvobojene pred lonci.
I took the weight from his back; his hands were made free from the baskets.
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 gave a cry in your trouble, and I made you free; I gave you an answer in the secret place of the thunder; I put you to the test at the waters of Meribah. (Selah)
8 Poslušaj, oh moje ljudstvo, pričeval ti bom, oh Izrael, če bi mi hotel prisluhniti.
Give ear, O my people, and I will give you my word, O Israel, if you will only do as I say!
9 V tebi naj ne bo tujega boga niti ne boš oboževal nobenega tujega boga.
There is to be no strange god among you; you are not to give worship to any other 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 took you up from the land of Egypt: let your mouth be open wide, so that I may give you food.
11 Toda moje ljudstvo noče prisluhniti mojemu glasu in Izrael noče ničesar od mene.
But my people did not give ear to my voice; Israel would have nothing to do with me.
12 Tako sem jih izročil njihovim lastnim srčnim željam in živeli so po svojih lastnih nasvetih.
So I gave them up to the desires of their hearts; that they might go after their evil purposes.
13 Oh, da bi mi moje ljudstvo prisluhnilo in bi Izrael hodil po mojih poteh!
If only my people would give ear to me, walking in my ways!
14 Kmalu bi podjarmil njihove sovražnike in svojo roko obrnil zoper njihove nasprotnike.
I would quickly overcome their haters: my hand would be turned against those who make war on them.
15 Gospodovi sovražniki bi se morali podvreči pod njega, pa bi se njihov čas ohranil na veke.
The haters of the Lord would be broken, and their destruction would be eternal.
16 Hranil bi jih tudi z najodličnejšo pšenico in z medom iz skale bi te nasitil.«
I would give them the best grain for food; you would be full of honey from the rock.
