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 biduan. Mazmur Daud. Nyanyian. Allah bangkit, maka terseraklah musuh-musuh-Nya, orang-orang yang membenci Dia melarikan diri 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.
Seperti asap hilang tertiup, seperti lilin meleleh di depan api, demikianlah orang-orang fasik binasa di hadapan Allah.
3 But the righteous will be glad and rejoice before God; they will celebrate with joy.
Tetapi orang-orang benar bersukacita, mereka beria-ria di hadapan Allah, bergembira dan bersukacita.
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, mazmurkanlah nama-Nya, buatlah jalan bagi Dia yang berkendaraan melintasi awan-awan! Nama-Nya ialah TUHAN; beria-rialah di hadapan-Nya!
5 A father of the fatherless, and a defender of the widows, is God in His holy habitation.
Bapa bagi anak yatim dan Pelindung bagi para janda, itulah Allah di kediaman-Nya yang kudus;
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-orang sebatang kara, Ia mengeluarkan orang-orang tahanan, sehingga mereka bahagia, tetapi pemberontak-pemberontak tinggal di tanah yang gundul.
7 O God, when You went out before Your people, when You marched through the wasteland,
Ya Allah, ketika Engkau maju berperang di depan umat-Mu, ketika Engkau melangkah di padang belantara, (Sela)
8 the earth shook and the heavens poured down rain before God, the One on Sinai, before God, the God of Israel.
bergoncanglah bumi, bahkan langit mencurahkan hujan di hadapan Allah; Sinai bergoyang di hadapan Allah, Allah Israel.
9 You sent abundant rain, O God; You refreshed Your weary inheritance.
Hujan yang melimpah Engkau siramkan, ya Allah; Engkau memulihkan tanah milik-Mu yang gersang,
10 Your flock settled therein; O God, from Your bounty You provided for the poor.
sehingga kawanan hewan-Mu menetap di sana; dalam kebaikan-Mu Engkau memenuhi kebutuhan orang yang tertindas, ya Allah.
11 The Lord gives the command; a great company of women proclaim it:
Tuhan menyampaikan sabda; orang-orang yang membawa kabar baik itu merupakan tentara yang besar:
12 “Kings and their armies flee in haste; she who waits at home divides the plunder.
Raja-raja segala tentara melarikan diri, melarikan diri, dan perempuan di rumah membagi-bagi jarahan.
13 Though you lie down among the sheepfolds, the wings of the dove are covered with silver, and her feathers with shimmering gold.”
Maukah kamu berbaring di antara kandang-kandang? Sayap-sayap merpati bersalut dengan perak, bulu kepaknya dengan emas berkilau-kilauan.
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 di atas gunung Zalmon.
15 A mountain of God is Mount Bashan; a mountain of many peaks is Mount Bashan.
Gunung Allah gunung Basan itu, gunung yang berpuncak banyak gunung Basan itu!
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.
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!
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.
Kereta-kereta Allah puluhan ribu, bahkan beribu-ribu banyaknya; Tuhan telah datang dari Sinai, masuk ke tempat kudus!
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.
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.
19 Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burden, the God of our salvation.
Terpujilah Tuhan! Hari demi hari Ia menanggung bagi kita; Allah adalah keselamatan kita. (Sela)
20 Our God is a God of deliverance; the Lord GOD is our rescuer from death.
Allah bagi kita adalah Allah yang menyelamatkan, ALLAH, Tuhanku, memberi keluputan dari maut.
21 Surely God will crush the heads of His enemies, the hairy crowns of those who persist in guilty ways.
Sesungguhnya, Allah meremukkan kepala musuh-Nya, tempurung kepala yang berambut dari orang yang tetap hidup dalam kesalahan-kesalahannya.
22 The Lord said, “I will retrieve them from Bashan, I will bring them up from the depths of the sea,
Tuhan telah berfirman: "Dari Basan akan Kubawa kembali, akan Kubawa kembali dari tempat yang dalam,
23 that your foot may be dipped in the blood of your foes— the tongues of your dogs in the same.”
supaya engkau membasuh kakimu dalam darah, dan lidah anjing-anjingmu mendapat bagiannya dari pada musuh."
24 They have seen Your procession, O God— the march of my God and King into the sanctuary.
Orang melihat perarakan-Mu, ya Allah, perarakan Allahku, Rajaku, ke dalam tempat kudus.
25 The singers lead the way, the musicians follow after, among the maidens playing tambourines.
Di depan berjalan penyanyi-penyanyi, di belakang pemetik-pemetik kecapi, di tengah-tengah dayang-dayang yang memalu rebana.
26 Bless God in the great congregation; bless the LORD from the fountain of Israel.
"Dalam jemaah pujilah Allah, yakni TUHAN, hai kamu yang berasal dari sumber Israel!"
27 There is Benjamin, the youngest, ruling them, the princes of Judah in their company, the princes of Zebulun and of Naphtali.
Itu Benyamin, yang bungsu, yang berjalan di depan mereka, pemuka-pemuka Yehuda berbondong-bondong, pemuka-pemuka Zebulon, pemuka-pemuka Naftali.
28 Summon Your power, O God; show Your strength, O God, which You have exerted on our behalf.
Kerahkanlah kekuatan-Mu, ya Allah, tunjukkanlah kekuatan-Mu, ya Allah, Engkau yang telah bertindak bagi kami.
29 Because of Your temple at Jerusalem kings will bring You gifts.
Demi bait-Mu di Yerusalem, raja-raja menyampaikan persembahan kepada-Mu.
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 binatang-binatang di teberau, kawanan orang-orang kuat, penguasa-penguasa bangsa-bangsa! Injaklah mereka yang mengejar perak; serakkanlah bangsa-bangsa yang suka berperang!
31 Envoys will arrive from Egypt; Cush will stretch out her hands to God.
Dari Mesir orang membawa barang-barang tembaga, Etiopia bersegera mengulurkan tangannya kepada Allah.
32 Sing to God, O kingdoms of the earth; sing praises to the Lord—
Hai kerajaan-kerajaan bumi, menyanyilah bagi Allah, bermazmurlah bagi Tuhan; (Sela)
33 to Him who rides upon the highest heavens of old; behold, His mighty voice resounds.
bagi Dia yang berkendaraan melintasi langit purbakala. Perhatikanlah, Ia memperdengarkan suara-Nya, suara-Nya yang dahsyat!
34 Ascribe the power to God, whose majesty is over Israel, whose strength is in the skies.
Akuilah kekuasaan Allah; kemegahan-Nya ada di atas Israel, kekuasaan-Nya di dalam awan-awan.
35 O God, You are awesome in Your sanctuary; the God of Israel Himself gives strength and power to His people. Blessed be God!
Allah adalah dahsyat dari dalam tempat kudus-Nya; Allah Israel, Dia mengaruniakan kekuasaan dan kekuatan kepada umat-Nya. Terpujilah Allah!
