Psalms 68
1 For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. A song. God arises. His enemies are scattered, and those who hate Him flee His presence.
Untuk pemimpin kor. Mazmur Daud. Allah bangkit menceraiberaikan musuh-Nya, orang yang membenci Dia lari dari hadapan-Nya.
2 As smoke is blown away, You will drive them out; as wax melts before the fire, the wicked will perish in the presence of God.
Allah mengusir mereka pergi, seperti asap yang ditiup dan menghilang. Seperti lilin meleleh di dalam api, begitulah orang jahat lenyap dari hadapan Allah.
3 But the righteous will be glad and rejoice before God; they will celebrate with joy.
Tetapi orang saleh bersukacita dan riang gembira, mereka bersorak-sorak kesukaan di hadapan Allah.
4 Sing to God! Sing praises to His name. Exalt Him who rides on the clouds — His name is the LORD— and rejoice before Him.
Bernyanyilah bagi Allah, pujilah nama-Nya, siapkanlah jalan raya bagi Dia yang mengendarai awan. Nama-Nya TUHAN--bersenang-senangla di hadapan-Nya!
5 A father of the fatherless, and a defender of the widows, is God in His holy habitation.
Allah yang tinggal di Rumah-Nya yang suci adalah bapak anak yatim dan pembela para janda.
6 God settles the lonely in families; He leads the prisoners out to prosperity, but the rebellious dwell in a sun-scorched land.
Allah memberi tempat tinggal kepada orang yang kesepian; Ia membebaskan orang tahanan sehingga mereka bahagia. Tetapi orang-orang yang melawan TUHAN harus tinggal di tanah yang gersang.
7 O God, when You went out before Your people, when You marched through the wasteland,
Ya Allah, ketika Engkau membimbing umat-Mu berjalan melewati padang yang kering,
8 the earth shook and the heavens poured down rain before God, the One on Sinai, before God, the God of Israel.
bumi bergetar, hujan tercurah di hadapan-Mu, karena kedatangan Allah Sinai, Allah Israel.
9 You sent abundant rain, O God; You refreshed Your weary inheritance.
Dengan limpah Engkau menurunkan hujan, dan memulihkan tanah-Mu yang gersang.
10 Your flock settled therein; O God, from Your bounty You provided for the poor.
Lalu umat-Mu berdiam di sana; dalam kebaikan-Mu, ya Allah, Engkau memelihara orang miskin.
11 The Lord gives the command; a great company of women proclaim it:
TUHAN memberi perintah, lalu para wanita membawa berita:
12 “Kings and their armies flee in haste; she who waits at home divides the plunder.
"Raja-raja dan pasukannya sudah lari!" Mereka lari seperti merpati yang terbang pergi. Para wanita di rumah membagi-bagikan, perak dan emas yang ditinggalkan. Sekalipun banyak yang tidak ikut berperang, umat Allah telah memperoleh kemenangan.
13 Though you lie down among the sheepfolds, the wings of the dove are covered with silver, and her feathers with shimmering gold.”
14 When the Almighty scattered the kings in the land, it was like the snow falling on Zalmon.
Ketika Yang Mahakuasa menyerakkan raja-raja di sana, turunlah salju dari Gunung Salmon.
15 A mountain of God is Mount Bashan; a mountain of many peaks is Mount Bashan.
Gunung Basan adalah gunung yang hebat, gunung yang berpuncak banyak.
16 Why do you gaze in envy, O mountains of many peaks? This is the mountain God chose for His dwelling, where the LORD will surely dwell forever.
Mengapa dari puncakmu yang banyak itu engkau memandang dengan cemburu kepada Bukit Sion yang dipilih Allah untuk kediaman-Nya? TUHAN akan tinggal di sana untuk selama-lamanya.
17 The chariots of God are tens of thousands— thousands of thousands are they; the Lord is in His sanctuary as He was at Sinai.
Dengan puluhan ribu kereta kuat Allah tampil di antara mereka dalam keagungan-Nya.
18 You have ascended on high; You have led captives away. You have received gifts from men, even from the rebellious, that the LORD God may dwell there.
TUHAN naik ke tempat yang tinggi; banyak tawanan dibawa-Nya serta. Ia menerima persembahan dari antara manusia bahkan dari antara kaum pemberontak; supaya mereka berdiam bersama TUHAN Allah.
19 Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burden, the God of our salvation.
Pujilah TUHAN, sebab Dialah Allah yang menyelamatkan kita; dari hari ke hari Ia memikul beban kita.
20 Our God is a God of deliverance; the Lord GOD is our rescuer from death.
Allah kita adalah TUHAN yang menyelamatkan, Ia membebaskan kita dari kematian.
21 Surely God will crush the heads of His enemies, the hairy crowns of those who persist in guilty ways.
Allah pasti akan meremukkan kepala musuh-Nya, orang-orang yang terus hidup dalam dosa.
22 The Lord said, “I will retrieve them from Bashan, I will bring them up from the depths of the sea,
Kata TUHAN, "Hai umat-Ku, Kubawa musuhmu dari Basan Kubawa mereka kembali dari dasar lautan,
23 that your foot may be dipped in the blood of your foes— the tongues of your dogs in the same.”
supaya kamu membasuh kakimu dengan darah mereka, dan anjing-anjingmu menjilatnya sepuas-puasnya."
24 They have seen Your procession, O God— the march of my God and King into the sanctuary.
Semua melihat pawai kemenangan-Mu, ya Allah, Allahku, Rajaku, diarak ke tempat kediaman-Nya.
25 The singers lead the way, the musicians follow after, among the maidens playing tambourines.
Di depan berjalan para penyanyi, di belakang para pemain kecapi; di tengah para gadis pemukul rebana; beginilah nyanyian mereka:
26 Bless God in the great congregation; bless the LORD from the fountain of Israel.
"Pujilah Allah di tengah himpunan umat-Nya, pujilah TUHAN, hai semua keturunan Yakub!"
27 There is Benjamin, the youngest, ruling them, the princes of Judah in their company, the princes of Zebulun and of Naphtali.
Benyamin, suku yang paling kecil, berjalan di depan, lalu berbondong-bondong para pemuka Yehuda di belakangnya para pemuka Zebulon dan Naftali.
28 Summon Your power, O God; show Your strength, O God, which You have exerted on our behalf.
Allahmu menuntut kekuatanmu; ya Allah, teguhkanlah apa yang telah Kaulakukan bagi kami.
29 Because of Your temple at Jerusalem kings will bring You gifts.
Raja-raja membawa persembahan kepada-Mu di Rumah-Mu di Yerusalem.
30 Rebuke the beast in the reeds, the herd of bulls among the calves of the nations, until it submits, bringing bars of silver. Scatter the nations who delight in war.
Hardiklah Mesir, binatang buas itu di tengah gelagah. Tegurlah bangsa-bangsa, kawanan banteng itu dengan anak-anaknya, yang saling menginjak-injak untuk mendapat perak. Allah menceraiberaikan bangsa-bangsa yang suka berperang.
31 Envoys will arrive from Egypt; Cush will stretch out her hands to God.
Pembesar-pembesar Mesir datang membawa tembaga; orang Sudan bergegas-gegas membawa upeti kepada Allah.
32 Sing to God, O kingdoms of the earth; sing praises to the Lord—
Bernyanyilah bagi Allah, hai semua kerajaan, nyanyikanlah puji-pujian bagi TUHAN,
33 to Him who rides upon the highest heavens of old; behold, His mighty voice resounds.
bagi dia yang melintasi angkasa purbakala. Dengar! TUHAN berbicara, suara-Nya menggelegar dengan dahsyat.
34 Ascribe the power to God, whose majesty is over Israel, whose strength is in the skies.
Akuilah kuasa Allah yang berdaulat atas Israel, kuasa-Nya sampai di langit.
35 O God, You are awesome in Your sanctuary; the God of Israel Himself gives strength and power to His people. Blessed be God!
Sungguh mengagumkan Allah kita waktu Ia keluar dari tempat kediaman-Nya. Allah Israel memberi kuasa dan kekuatan kepada umat-Nya. Terpujilah Allah!
