Psalmi 81
1 Glasno prepevajte Bogu, naši môči, naredite radosten glas Jakobovemu Bogu.
Sing [songs] to praise God, who enables us to be strong [when we fight our enemies]; shout joyfully to God, whom we (descendants of Jacob/Israeli people) [worship]!
2 Vzemite psalm in prinesite sèm tamburin, prijetno harfo s plunko.
Start [playing] the music, and beat the tambourines, and play nice music on the harps and (lyres/other stringed instruments).
3 Trobite na šofar ob mlaju, ob določenem času na naš slovesni praznični dan.
Blow the trumpets [during the festival to celebrate] each new moon and each time the moon is full and during our [other] festivals.
4 Kajti to je bil zakon za Izraela in postava Jakobovega Boga.
[Do that] because that is a law for [us] Israeli [people]; God commanded it for us descendants 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 commanded us Israeli [people to obey it] when he punished [the people of] Egypt. I heard someone [MTY] whose voice I did not recognize, saying,
6 »Njegovo ramo sem odstranil od bremena, njegove roke so bile osvobojene pred lonci.
“[After the rulers of Egypt forced you Israelis to work as slaves], I took those [heavy] burdens off your backs, and I enabled you to lay down those [heavy] baskets [of bricks that you were carrying].
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)
When you were [greatly] distressed, you called [out to me], and I rescued you; I answered you out of a thundercloud. [Later] I tested [whether you would trust me to give you] water [when you were in the desert] at Meribah.
8 Poslušaj, oh moje ljudstvo, pričeval ti bom, oh Izrael, če bi mi hotel prisluhniti.
[You who are] my people, listen while I warn you! I wish that you Israeli [people] would pay attention to what I [say to you]!
9 V tebi naj ne bo tujega boga niti ne boš oboževal nobenega tujega boga.
You must not have any idols of other gods among you; you must never bow to worship any of them!
10 Jaz sem Gospod, tvoj Bog, ki te je privedel iz egiptovske dežele. Široko odpri svoja usta in napolnil jih bom.
I am Yahweh, your God; It was [not any of those other gods] who brought you out of Egypt, I am the one who did it! [So] ask me what you want me to do for you [MTY], and I will do it.
11 Toda moje ljudstvo noče prisluhniti mojemu glasu in Izrael noče ničesar od mene.
But my people would not listen to me [SYN]; they would not obey me.
12 Tako sem jih izročil njihovim lastnim srčnim željam in živeli so po svojih lastnih nasvetih.
So even though they were very stubborn, I allowed them to do whatever they wanted to do.
13 Oh, da bi mi moje ljudstvo prisluhnilo in bi Izrael hodil po mojih poteh!
I wish that my people would listen to me, that the Israeli [people] would behave as I want them to do.
14 Kmalu bi podjarmil njihove sovražnike in svojo roko obrnil zoper njihove nasprotnike.
[If they did that], I would quickly defeat their enemies; I would strike/punish [all of] them [DOU].
15 Gospodovi sovražniki bi se morali podvreči pod njega, pa bi se njihov čas ohranil na veke.
[Then all] those who hate me would (cringe before/bow down to) me, and [then I] would punish them [MTY] forever.
16 Hranil bi jih tudi z najodličnejšo pšenico in z medom iz skale bi te nasitil.«
[But] I would give you [Israelis] very good wheat/grain, and I would fill your stomachs with wild honey.”
