81 katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE Passage Biblia Hebraica

To the choirmaster: according to The Gittith. A Psalm of Asaph. Psalm for the Feast of Tabernacles. Psalm 81(v80)לַמְנַצֵּחַ עַל־הַגִּתִּית לְאָסָף׃
81 1Sing aloud to God our strength;
shout for joy to the God of Jacob!
 הַרְנִינוּ לֵאלֹהִים עוּזֵּנוּ הָרִיעוּ לֵאלֹהֵי יַעֲקֹב׃
2Raise a song, sound the timbrel,
the sweet lyre with the harp.
 שְׂאוּ־זִמְרָה וּתְנוּ־תֹף כִּנֹּור נָעִים עִם־נָבֶל׃
3Blow the trumpet at the new moon,
at the full moon, on our feast day.
 תִּקְעוּ בַחֹדֶשׁ שֹׁופָר בַּכֵּסֶה לְיֹום חַגֵּנוּ׃
4For it is a statute for Israel,
an ordinance of the God of Jacob.
 כִּי חֹק לְיִשְׂרָאֵל הוּא מִשְׁפָּט לֵאלֹהֵי יַעֲקֹב׃
5He made it a decree in Joseph,
when he went out over the land of Egypt.

I heard a voice I had not known:

 עֵדוּת בִּיהֹוסֵף שָׂמֹו בְּצֵאתֹו עַל־אֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם שְׂפַת לֹא־יָדַעְתִּי אֶשְׁמָע׃
6"I relieved your shoulder of the burden;
your hands were freed from the basket.
 הֲסִירֹותִי מִסֵּבֶל שִׁכְמֹו כַּפָּיו מִדּוּד תַּעֲבֹרְנָה׃
7In distress you called, and I delivered you;
I answered you in the secret place of thunder;
I tested you at the waters of Meribah. Selah
 בַּצָּרָה קָרָאתָ וָאֲחַלְּצֶךָּ אֶעֶנְךָ בְּסֵתֶר רַעַם אֶבְחָנְךָ עַל־מֵי מְרִיבָה סֶלָה׃
8Hear, O my people, while I admonish you!
O Israel, if you would but listen to me!
 שְׁמַע עַמִּי וְאָעִידָה בָּךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל אִם־תִּשְׁמַע־לִי׃
9There shall be no strange god among you;
you shall not bow down to a foreign god.
 לֹא־יִהְיֶה בְךָ אֵל זָר וְלֹא תִשְׁתַּחֲוֶה לְאֵל נֵכָר׃
10I am Yahweh your God, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.
Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.
 אָנֹכִי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ הַמַּעַלְךָ מֵאֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם הַרְחֶב־פִּיךָ וַאֲמַלְאֵהוּ׃
11"But my people did not listen to my voice;
Israel would have none of me.
 וְלֹא־שָׁמַע עַמִּי לְקֹולִי וְיִשְׂרָאֵל לֹא־אָבָה לִי׃
12So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts,
to follow their own counsels.
 וָאֲשַׁלְּחֵהוּ בִּשְׁרִירוּת לִבָּם יֵלְכוּ בְּמֹועֲצֹותֵיהֶם׃
13O that my people would listen to me,
that Israel would walk in my ways!
 לוּ עַמִּי שֹׁמֵעַ לִי יִשְׂרָאֵל בִּדְרָכַי יְהַלֵּכוּ׃
14I would soon subdue their enemies,
and turn my hand against their foes.
 כִּמְעַט אֹויְבֵיהֶם אַכְנִיעַ וְעַל צָרֵיהֶם אָשִׁיב יָדִי׃
15Those who hate Yahweh would cringe toward him,
and their fate would last for ever.
 מְשַׂנְאֵי יְהוָה יְכַחֲשׁוּ־לֹו וִיהִי עִתָּם לְעֹולָם׃
16I would feed you with the finest of the wheat,
and with honey from the rock I would satisfy you."
 וַיַּאֲכִילֵהוּ מֵחֵלֶב חִטָּה וּמִצּוּר דְּבַשׁ אַשְׂבִּיעֶךָ׃

Notes: This page displays passages from the katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE.
The katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE is a very light revision of the RSV. The changes are: (1) In places where 'the LORD', 'O LORD' occurs in the RSV, (it represents the tetragrammaton - YHWH - which is in the hebrew text), I have used the name 'Yahweh'.
(2) I have removed the quotation marks and hyphens that were used in so many names in the RSV as an aid to correct pronunciation. This now brings it in line with all other English versions, and makes any word-search more accurate.
(3) I have changed all (I hope!) of the RSV archaic language sections to modern.

The katapi New Study Bible reference section displays links to parallel passages, and to direct quotations by New Testament authors to Old Testament passages. Quotations of OT passages by NT authors can in most cases be viewed within their context of the OT passage as a whole, with the quoted text displayed, against a subdued background.
