Psalms 81

1 For the leader. On the gittith. Of Asaph. Sing aloud to God our strength, shout for joy to the God of Jacob.

Načelniku godbe pri Gitaji, pesem Asafu. Pojte Bogu, móči naši, vpijte Bogu Jakobovemu.

2 Raise a song, sound the timbrel, sweet lyre and harp.

Primite psalmovanje in vzemite boben, strune prijetne in brenklje.

3 On the new moon blow the horn, at the full moon, the day of our festival.

Trobite o mlaji, o vseh stalnih praznikih, o godovih naših.

4 For this is a statute for Israel, a ruling of the God of Jacob,

Ker ustanovljeno je v Izraelu, postava od Boga Jakobovega,

5 a witness he set up in Joseph, when he marched against Egypt’s land, where he heard an unknown voice say:

Kateri jo je za pričanje postavil v Jožefu, ko je šel proti deželi Egiptovski, kjer sem slišal govor neznan;

6 ‘I removed from your shoulder the burden, and freed your hands from the basket.

"Odtegnil sem", pravi, od bremena ramo njegovo; roke njegove ločile so se od čebriča.

7 At your call of distress I delivered you, from the thundercloud I answered you. At Meribah’s waters I tested you. (Selah)

Ko si vpil v oni stiski, rešil sem te, uslišal sem te v gromovem zakotji; izkušal sem te do vodâ Meribskih.

8 ‘Listen, my people, to my warning, O Israel, if you would but listen!

Poslušaj, ljudstvo moje, in spričeval ti bodem, o Izrael, ako me bodeš poslušal.

9 There must not be a strange god among you, you must bow to no foreign god.

Ako ne bode v tebi boga mogočnega tujega, in se ne bodeš klanjal bogu mogočnemu tujerodnemu.

10 I am the Lord your God who brought you up out of Egypt. Open your mouth, that I fill it.

Jaz sem Gospod, Bog tvoj, ki sem dal, da si prišel gor iz dežele Egiptovske; razširi usta svoja in napolnim jih.

11 ‘But my people did not listen to my voice, Israel would have none of me.

Ali ljudstvo moje ni poslušalo glasu mojega, in Izrael mi ni bil pokoren.

12 So to their own hard hearts I left them, to follow their own devices.

Zatorej sem jih izpustil, da naj hodijo po srca svojega volji, govoreč: Gredó naj sè svojimi krivimi naklepi.

13 O that my people would listen, that Israel would walk in my ways.

O ko bi me bilo poslušalo ljudstvo moje, ko bi bili Izraelci hodili po mojih potih!

14 Soon would I humble their enemies, and turn my hand on their foes.

Kar mahoma bi bil potlačil njih neprijatelje, ko bi bil v njih sovražnike obrnil roko svojo.

15 Those who hate the Lord would cringe before him in everlasting terror.

Sovražniki Gospodovi bi se bili lažnjivo vdali njemu, in njih čas bi bil vekomaj.

16 But you would I feed with the richest wheat, and with honey from the rock to your heart’s desire.’

Dà, živil bi ga bil z maščobo pšenično, tudi z medom iz skale bi te bil sitil.
