Psalmi 81

1 Zborovođi. Po napjevu “Tijesci”. Asafov. Kliknite Bogu, našoj jakosti, kličite Bogu Jakovljevu!

TO THE OVERSEER. ON THE GITTITH. BY ASAPH. Cry aloud to God our strength, Shout to the God of Jacob.

2 Nek' zazvuče žice, nek' se čuje bubanj, svirajte u milozvučnu harfu s citarom!

Lift up a song, and give out a timbrel, A pleasant harp with stringed instrument.

3 Zatrubite u rog za mlađaka, za uštapa, na svetkovinu našu!

Blow a horn in the month, In the new moon, at the day of our festival,

4 Jer to je propis Izraelu, zapovijed Boga Jakovljeva.

For it [is] a statute to Israel, An ordinance of the God of Jacob.

5 Takav je zakon dao Josipu kad je izlazio iz zemlje Egipta.

He has placed it—a testimony on Joseph, In his going forth over the land of Egypt. A lip, I have not known—I hear.

6 Šapat tajnovit čuh: “Oslobodih od tereta rame njegovo, ruke su mu slobodne od košare.

I turned aside his shoulder from the burden, His hands pass over from the basket.

7 U tjeskobi si zavapio i ja te izbavih; iz gromovna oblaka odgovorih tebi, iskušah te kod voda meripskih.

In distress you have called and I deliver you, I answer you in the secret place of thunder, I try you by the waters of Meribah. (Selah)

8 Slušaj, puče moj, i ja ću te opomenuti: o, da me poslušaš, Izraele!

Hear, O My people, and I testify to you, O Israel, if you listen to me:

9 Nek' ne bude u tebe drugog boga i ne klanjaj se bogu tuđem!

There is not in you a strange god, And you do not bow yourself to a strange god.

10 Ja sam Jahve, Bog tvoj koji te izvedoh iz Egipta: otvori svoja usta da ih napunim!”

I [am] your God YHWH, Who brings you up out of the land of Egypt. Enlarge your mouth, and I fill it.

11 “Ali moj narod ne slušaše glasa moga, Izrael me ne posluša.

But My people did not listen to My voice, And Israel has not consented to Me.

12 Zato ga pustih okorjelom srcu njegovu: neka hodi kako mu se hoće!

And I send them away in the enmity of their heart, They walk in their own counsels.

13 O, kad bi me narod moj slušao, kad bi Izrael putovima mojim hodio,

O that My people were listening to Me, Israel would walk in My ways.

14 brzo bih pokorio dušmane njegove, ruku bih svoju okrenuo na protivnike njegove.

As a little thing I cause their enemies to bow, And I turn back My hand against their adversaries,

15 Oni što ga sada mrze dodvarali bi mu se i njihov bi udes bio zapečaćen zauvijek.

Those hating YHWH should have feigned [obedience] to Him, And their time would last for all time.

16 A svoj narod hranio bih pšenicom najboljom i sitio ga medom iz pećine.

He causes him to eat of the fat of wheat, And I satisfy you [with] honey from a rock!
