Psalms 81
1 [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.
Zborovođi. Po napjevu “Tijesci”. Asafov. Kliknite Bogu, našoj jakosti, kličite Bogu Jakovljevu!
2 Raise a song, and bring here the tambourine, the pleasant lyre with the harp.
Nek' zazvuče žice, nek' se čuje bubanj, svirajte u milozvučnu harfu s citarom!
3 Blow the trumpet at the New Moon, at the full moon, on our feast day.
Zatrubite u rog za mlađaka, za uštapa, na svetkovinu našu!
4 For it is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob.
Jer to je propis Izraelu, zapovijed Boga Jakovljeva.
5 He appointed it in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out over the land of Egypt, I heard a language that I did not know.
Takav je zakon dao Josipu kad je izlazio iz zemlje Egipta.
6 "I removed his shoulder from the burden. His hands were freed from the basket.
Šapat tajnovit čuh: “Oslobodih od tereta rame njegovo, ruke su mu slobodne od košare.
7 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)
U tjeskobi si zavapio i ja te izbavih; iz gromovna oblaka odgovorih tebi, iskušah te kod voda meripskih.
8 "Hear, my people, and I will testify to you, Israel, if you would listen to me.
Slušaj, puče moj, i ja ću te opomenuti: o, da me poslušaš, Izraele!
9 There shall be no strange god in you, neither shall you worship any foreign god.
Nek' ne bude u tebe drugog boga i ne klanjaj se bogu tuđem!
10 I am Jehovah, your God, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.
Ja sam Jahve, Bog tvoj koji te izvedoh iz Egipta: otvori svoja usta da ih napunim!”
11 But my people did not listen to my voice. Israel desired none of me.
“Ali moj narod ne slušaše glasa moga, Izrael me ne posluša.
12 So I let them go after the stubbornness of their hearts, that they might walk in their own counsels.
Zato ga pustih okorjelom srcu njegovu: neka hodi kako mu se hoće!
13 Oh that my people would listen to me, that Israel would walk in my ways.
O, kad bi me narod moj slušao, kad bi Izrael putovima mojim hodio,
14 I would soon subdue their enemies, and turn my hand against their adversaries.
brzo bih pokorio dušmane njegove, ruku bih svoju okrenuo na protivnike njegove.
15 The haters of Jehovah would cringe before him, and their punishment would last forever.
Oni što ga sada mrze dodvarali bi mu se i njihov bi udes bio zapečaćen zauvijek.
16 And he would have fed him with the finest wheat, and satisfied you with honey from the rock."
A svoj narod hranio bih pšenicom najboljom i sitio ga medom iz pećine.
