Psalmi 81

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

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

Raise a song, and bring here the tambourine, the pleasant lyre with the harp.

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

Blow the trumpet at the New Moon, at the full moon, on our feast day.

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

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

“I removed his shoulder from 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 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 Poslušaj, oh moje ljudstvo, pričeval ti bom, oh Izrael, če bi mi hotel prisluhniti.

“Hear, my people, and I will testify to you, Israel, if you would listen to me!

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

There shall be no strange god in you, neither shall you worship any 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 Yahweh, your God, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.

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

But my people didn’t listen to my voice. Israel desired none of me.

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

So I let them go after the stubbornness of their hearts, that they might walk in their own counsels.

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

Oh that my people would listen to me, that Israel would walk in my ways!

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

I would soon subdue their enemies, and turn my hand against their adversaries.

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

The haters of Yahweh would cringe before him, and their punishment would last forever.

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

But he would have also fed them with the finest of the wheat. I will satisfy you with honey out of the rock.”
