Mazmur 68
Mazmur · Psalms
1Untuk pemimpin biduan. Mazmur Daud. Nyanyian. (68-2) Allah bangkit, maka terseraklah musuh-musuh-Nya, orang-orang yang membenci Dia melarikan diri dari hadapan-Nya.
1God shall arise, his enemies shall be scattered; and those who hate him shall flee before him!
2(68-3) Seperti asap hilang tertiup, seperti lilin meleleh di depan api, demikianlah orang-orang fasik binasa di hadapan Allah.
2As smoke is driven away, so you shall drive them away; as wax melts before fire, so the wicked shall perish before God!
3(68-4) Tetapi orang-orang benar bersukacita, mereka beria-ria di hadapan Allah, bergembira dan bersukacita.
3But the righteous shall be glad; they shall exult before God; they shall be jubilant with joy!
4(68-5) Bernyanyilah bagi Allah, mazmurkanlah nama-Nya, buatlah jalan bagi Dia yang berkendaraan melintasi awan-awan! Nama-Nya ialah TUHAN; beria-rialah di hadapan-Nya!
4Sing to God, sing praises to his name; lift up a song to him who rides through the deserts; his name is the LORD; exult before him!
5(68-6) Bapa bagi anak yatim dan Pelindung bagi para janda, itulah Allah di kediaman-Nya yang kudus;
5Father of the fatherless and protector of widows is God in his holy habitation.
6(68-7) Allah memberi tempat tinggal kepada orang-orang sebatang kara, Ia mengeluarkan orang-orang tahanan, sehingga mereka bahagia, tetapi pemberontak-pemberontak tinggal di tanah yang gundul.
6God settles the solitary in a home; he leads out the prisoners to prosperity, but the rebellious dwell in a parched land.
7(68-8) Ya Allah, ketika Engkau maju berperang di depan umat-Mu, ketika Engkau melangkah di padang belantara, Sela
7O God, when you went out before your people, when you marched through the wilderness, Selah
8(68-9) bergoncanglah bumi, bahkan langit mencurahkan hujan di hadapan Allah; Sinai bergoyang di hadapan Allah, Allah Israel.
8the earth quaked, the heavens poured down rain, before God, the One of Sinai, before God, the God of Israel.
9(68-10) Hujan yang melimpah Engkau siramkan, ya Allah; Engkau memulihkan tanah milik-Mu yang gersang,
9Rain in abundance, O God, you shed abroad; you restored your inheritance as it languished;
10(68-11) sehingga kawanan hewan-Mu menetap di sana; dalam kebaikan-Mu Engkau memenuhi kebutuhan orang yang tertindas, ya Allah.
10your flock found a dwelling in it; in your goodness, O God, you provided for the needy.
11(68-12) Tuhan menyampaikan sabda; orang-orang yang membawa kabar baik itu merupakan tentara yang besar:
11The Lord gives the word; the women who announce the news are a great host:
12(68-13) Raja-raja segala tentara melarikan diri, melarikan diri, dan perempuan di rumah membagi-bagi jarahan.
12"The kings of the armies--they flee, they flee!" The women at home divide the spoil--
13(68-14) Maukah kamu berbaring di antara kandang-kandang? Sayap-sayap merpati bersalut dengan perak, bulu kepaknya dengan emas berkilau-kilauan.
13though you men lie among the sheepfolds--the wings of a dove covered with silver, its pinions with shimmering gold.
14(68-15) Ketika Yang Mahakuasa menyerakkan raja-raja di sana, turunlah salju di atas gunung Zalmon.
14When the Almighty scatters kings there, let snow fall on Zalmon.
15(68-16) Gunung Allah gunung Basan itu, gunung yang berpuncak banyak gunung Basan itu!
15O mountain of God, mountain of Bashan; O many-peaked mountain, mountain of Bashan!
16(68-17) Hai gunung-gunung yang berpuncak banyak, mengapa kamu menjeling cemburu, kepada gunung yang dikehendaki Allah menjadi tempat kedudukan-Nya? Sesungguhnya TUHAN akan diam di sana untuk seterusnya!
16Why do you look with hatred, O many-peaked mountain, at the mount that God desired for his abode, yes, where the LORD will dwell forever?
17(68-18) Kereta-kereta Allah puluhan ribu, bahkan beribu-ribu banyaknya; Tuhan telah datang dari Sinai, masuk ke tempat kudus!
17The chariots of God are twice ten thousand, thousands upon thousands; the Lord is among them; Sinai is now in the sanctuary.
18(68-19) Engkau telah naik ke tempat tinggi, telah membawa tawanan-tawanan; Engkau telah menerima persembahan-persembahan di antara manusia, bahkan dari pemberontak-pemberontak untuk diam di sana, ya TUHAN Allah.
18You ascended on high, leading a host of captives in your train and receiving gifts among men, even among the rebellious, that the LORD God may dwell there.
19(68-20) Terpujilah Tuhan! Hari demi hari Ia menanggung bagi kita; Allah adalah keselamatan kita. Sela
19Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears us up; God is our salvation. Selah
20(68-21) Allah bagi kita adalah Allah yang menyelamatkan, ALLAH, Tuhanku, memberi keluputan dari maut.
20Our God is a God of salvation, and to GOD, the Lord, belong deliverances from death.
21(68-22) Sesungguhnya, Allah meremukkan kepala musuh-Nya, tempurung kepala yang berambut dari orang yang tetap hidup dalam kesalahan-kesalahannya.
21But God will strike the heads of his enemies, the hairy crown of him who walks in his guilty ways.
22(68-23) Tuhan telah berfirman: "Dari Basan akan Kubawa kembali, akan Kubawa kembali dari tempat yang dalam,
22The Lord said, "I will bring them back from Bashan, I will bring them back from the depths of the sea,
23(68-24) supaya engkau membasuh kakimu dalam darah, dan lidah anjing-anjingmu mendapat bagiannya dari pada musuh."
23that you may strike your feet in their blood, that the tongues of your dogs may have their portion from the foe."
24(68-25) Orang melihat perarakan-Mu, ya Allah, perarakan Allahku, Rajaku, ke dalam tempat kudus.
24Your procession is seen, O God, the procession of my God, my King, into the sanctuary--
25(68-26) Di depan berjalan penyanyi-penyanyi, di belakang pemetik-pemetik kecapi, di tengah-tengah dayang-dayang yang memalu rebana.
25the singers in front, the musicians last, between them virgins playing tambourines:
26(68-27) "Dalam jemaah pujilah Allah, yakni TUHAN, hai kamu yang berasal dari sumber Israel!"
26"Bless God in the great congregation, the LORD, O you who are of Israel's fountain!"
27(68-28) Itu Benyamin, yang bungsu, yang berjalan di depan mereka, pemuka-pemuka Yehuda berbondong-bondong, pemuka-pemuka Zebulon, pemuka-pemuka Naftali.
27There is Benjamin, the least of them, in the lead, the princes of Judah in their throng, the princes of Zebulun, the princes of Naphtali.
28(68-29) Kerahkanlah kekuatan-Mu, ya Allah, tunjukkanlah kekuatan-Mu, ya Allah, Engkau yang telah bertindak bagi kami.
28Summon your power, O God, the power, O God, by which you have worked for us.
29(68-30) Demi bait-Mu di Yerusalem, raja-raja menyampaikan persembahan kepada-Mu.
29Because of your temple at Jerusalem kings shall bear gifts to you.
30(68-31) Hardiklah binatang-binatang di teberau, kawanan orang-orang kuat, penguasa-penguasa bangsa-bangsa! Injaklah mereka yang mengejar perak; serakkanlah bangsa-bangsa yang suka berperang!
30Rebuke the beasts that dwell among the reeds, the herd of bulls with the calves of the peoples. Trample underfoot those who lust after tribute; scatter the peoples who delight in war.
31(68-32) Dari Mesir orang membawa barang-barang tembaga, Etiopia bersegera mengulurkan tangannya kepada Allah.
31Nobles shall come from Egypt; Cush shall hasten to stretch out her hands to God.
32(68-33) Hai kerajaan-kerajaan bumi, menyanyilah bagi Allah, bermazmurlah bagi Tuhan; Sela
32O kingdoms of the earth, sing to God; sing praises to the Lord, Selah
33(68-34) bagi Dia yang berkendaraan melintasi langit purbakala. Perhatikanlah, Ia memperdengarkan suara-Nya, suara-Nya yang dahsyat!
33to him who rides in the heavens, the ancient heavens; behold, he sends out his voice, his mighty voice.
34(68-35) Akuilah kekuasaan Allah; kemegahan-Nya ada di atas Israel, kekuasaan-Nya di dalam awan-awan.
34Ascribe power to God, whose majesty is over Israel, and whose power is in the skies.
35(68-36) Allah adalah dahsyat dari dalam tempat kudus-Nya; Allah Israel, Dia mengaruniakan kekuasaan dan kekuatan kepada umat-Nya. Terpujilah Allah!
35Awesome is God from his sanctuary; the God of Israel--he is the one who gives power and strength to his people. Blessed be God!
