诗篇 81
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
歌颂上帝的恩惠
亚萨的诗，交给乐长，用迦特乐器。
81 要歌颂赐我们力量的上帝，
向雅各的上帝欢呼。
2 要唱诗，击鼓，弹起琴瑟。
3 要在我们过节的朔日和望日[a]吹响号角。
4 这是以色列的律例，
是雅各的上帝所定的法令。
5 上帝攻击埃及的时候，
为约瑟立下此法度。
我在那里听见陌生的声音说：
6 “我卸下了你肩上的重担，
使你的双手不再做苦工，
7 你在苦难中向我呼求，
我就拯救了你，
从雷声隆隆的密云中应允了你。
我在米利巴泉边考验你。（细拉）
8 我的子民啊，
要听我的警告。
以色列人啊，
但愿你们听从我的话。
9 你们断不可供奉别的神明，
也不可向外族的神明下拜，
10 我是你们的上帝耶和华，
曾把你们带出埃及。
张开你们的口吧，
我必使你们饱足。
11 我的子民却不肯听我的话，
以色列不愿意顺从我。
12 因此我就任凭他们顽固不化，
为所欲为。
13 但愿我的子民肯听从我，
以色列人肯遵行我的道。
14 那时，我必迅速制服他们的敌人，
伸手攻击他们的仇敌。
15 憎恶我的人要在我面前屈膝投降，永远沉沦。
16 我要以上好的麦子供养我的子民，
让他们饱享磐石间的蜂蜜。”

诗篇 81
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
歌頌 神的恩召與寬容
亞薩的詩，交給詩班長，用“迦特”的樂器。
81 要向 神我們的力量歡呼，
要向雅各的 神大聲呼叫。
2 要唱詩歌，打手鼓，
彈奏美好的琴瑟。
3 要在月朔，在月望，
在我們守節的日子吹角。
4 因為這是給以色列的律例，
是雅各的 神的典章。
5 約瑟從埃及地出來（“約瑟從埃及地出來”或譯：“ 神出去攻擊埃及地”）的時候，
神為約瑟立了這法規。
我聽見了我不曉得的言語。
6 神說：“我要除去你（“你”原文作“他”）肩頭的重擔，
使你（“你”原文作“他”）的手放下筐子。
7 你在患難中呼求，
我就搭救你；
我在打雷的密雲中回答你，
在米利巴的水邊試驗你。”（細拉）
8 “我的子民哪！你要聽，我要勸戒你；
以色列啊！但願你肯聽從我。
9 在你中間不可有別的神，
外族人的神你也不可敬拜。
10 我是耶和華你的 神，
曾把你從埃及地領出來。
你要大大張口，我就要給它充滿。
11 我的子民卻不聽我的話，
以色列不肯服從我。
12 因此，我就任憑他們心裡剛硬，
隨著自己的計謀行事。
13 只要我的子民聽從我，
以色列肯遵行我的道，
14 我就迅速制伏他們的仇敵，
把手轉回來攻擊他們的敵人。
15 憎恨耶和華的人必向他假意歸順，
他們的刑期必永無止境。
16 但我（“我”原文作“他”）必把上好的麥子給你們（“你們”原文作“他”）吃，
又用磐石裡的蜂蜜使你們飽足。”
Psalm 81
Contemporary English Version
(By Asaph for the music leader.[a])
God Makes Us Strong
1 Be happy and shout to God
who makes us strong!
Shout praises to the God
of Jacob.
2 Sing as you play tambourines
and the lovely sounding
stringed instruments.
3 (A) Sound the trumpets and start
the New Moon Festival.[b]
We must also celebrate
when the moon is full.
4 This is the law in Israel,
and it was given to us
by the God of Jacob.
5 The descendants of Joseph
were told to obey it,
when God led them out
from the land of Egypt.
In a voice unknown to me,
I heard someone say:
6 “I lifted the burden
from your shoulder
and took the heavy basket
from your hands.
7 (B) When you were in trouble,
I rescued you,
and from the thunderclouds,
I answered your prayers.
Later I tested you
at Meribah Spring.[c]
8 “Listen, my people,
while I, the Lord,
correct you!
Israel, if you would only
pay attention to me!
9 (C) Don't worship foreign gods
or bow down to gods
you know nothing about.
10 I am the Lord your God.
I rescued you from Egypt.
Just ask, and I will give you
whatever you need.
11 “But, my people, Israel,
you refused to listen,
and you would have nothing
to do with me!
12 So I let you be stubborn
and keep on following
your own advice.
13 “My people, Israel,
if only you would listen
and do as I say!
14 I, the Lord, would quickly
defeat your enemies
with my mighty power.
15 Everyone who hates me
would come crawling,
and that would be the end
of them.
16 But I would feed you
with the finest bread
and with the best honey[d]
until you were full.”
Footnotes
- Psalm 81 leader: See the note at Psalm 8.
- 81.3 New Moon Festival: Celebrated on the first day of each new moon, which was the beginning of the month. But this may refer to either the New Year celebration or the Harvest Festival. “The moon is full” suggests a festival in the middle of the month.
- 81.7 Meribah Spring: When the people of Israel complained to Moses about the need for water, God commanded Moses to strike a rock with his walking stick, and water came out. The place was then named Massah (“test”) and Meribah (“complaining”).
- 81.16 the best honey: The Hebrew text has “honey from rocks,” referring to honey taken from beehives in holes or cracks in large rocks.
Psalm 81
Young's Literal Translation
81 To the Overseer. -- `On the Gittith.' By Asaph. Cry aloud to God our strength, Shout to the God of Jacob.
2 Lift up a song, and give out a timbrel, A pleasant harp with psaltery.
3 Blow in the month a trumpet, In the new moon, at the day of our festival,
4 For a statute to Israel it [is], An ordinance of the God of Jacob.
5 A testimony on Joseph He hath placed it, In his going forth over the land of Egypt. A lip, I have not known -- I hear.
6 From the burden his shoulder I turned aside, His hands from the basket pass over.
7 In distress thou hast called and I deliver thee, I answer thee in the secret place of thunder, I try thee by the waters of Meribah. Selah.
8 Hear, O My people, and I testify to thee, O Israel, if thou dost hearken to me:
9 There is not in thee a strange god, And thou bowest not thyself to a strange god.
10 I [am] Jehovah thy God, Who bringeth thee up out of the land of Egypt. Enlarge thy mouth, and I fill it.
11 But, My people hearkened not to My voice, And Israel hath not consented to Me.
12 And I send them away in the enmity of their heart, They walk in their own counsels.
13 O that My people were hearkening to Me, Israel in My ways would walk.
14 As a little thing their enemies I cause to bow, And against their adversaries I turn back My hand,
15 Those hating Jehovah feign obedience to Him, But their time is -- to the age.
16 He causeth him to eat of the fat of wheat, And [with] honey from a rock I satisfy thee!
