Psalms 79
1 A Psalm of Asaph. The nations, O God, have invaded Your inheritance; they have defiled Your holy temple and reduced Jerusalem to rubble.
Mazmur Asaf. Ya Allah, bangsa yang tidak mengenal Engkau sudah menduduki tanah pusaka-Mu. Mereka menajiskan Rumah-Mu, Yerusalem dijadikan reruntuhan.
2 They have given the corpses of Your servants as food to the birds of the air, the flesh of Your saints to the beasts of the earth.
Mayat hamba-hamba-Mu mereka tinggalkan menjadi makanan burung-burung di udara. Jenazah para kekasih-Mu mereka biarkan menjadi makanan binatang liar.
3 They have poured out their blood like water all around Jerusalem, and there is no one to bury the dead.
Di seluruh kota Yerusalem darah mereka tertumpah seperti air; tak ada yang menguburkan mereka.
4 We have become a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and derision to those around us.
Kami menjadi bahan ejekan bangsa-bangsa tetangga, mereka menertawakan dan mencemoohkan kami.
5 How long, O LORD? Will You be angry forever? Will Your jealousy burn like fire?
Ya TUHAN, untuk selamanyakah Engkau marah, dan cemburu-Mu berkobar seperti api?
6 Pour out Your wrath on the nations that do not acknowledge You, on the kingdoms that refuse to call on Your name,
Tumpahkanlah kemarahan-Mu ke atas bangsa-bangsa yang tidak mengenal Engkau, dan ke atas kerajaan-kerajaan yang tidak berbakti kepada-Mu.
7 for they have devoured Jacob and devastated his homeland.
Sebab mereka sudah membinasakan umat-Mu, dan menghancurkan tempat tinggal mereka.
8 Do not hold past sins against us; let Your compassion come quickly, for we are brought low.
Jangan menghukum kami karena dosa leluhur kami. Kasihanilah kami segera, sebab kami putus asa.
9 Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of Your name; deliver us and atone for our sins, for the sake of Your name.
Tolonglah kami ya Allah, penyelamat kami, ampunilah dosa-dosa kami dan bebaskanlah kami demi kehormatan-Mu sendiri.
10 Why should the nations ask, “Where is their God?” Before our eyes, make known among the nations Your vengeance for the bloodshed of Your servants.
Jangan biarkan bangsa lain bertanya tentang kami, "Di mana Allah mereka?" Biarlah kami melihat pembalasan atas bangsa-bangsa yang membunuh hamba-hamba-Mu.
11 May the groans of the captives reach You; by the strength of Your arm preserve those condemned to death.
Dengarlah rintihan para tahanan; semoga orang-orang yang ditentukan untuk mati dibiarkan hidup karena kuasa-Mu.
12 Pay back into the laps of our neighbors sevenfold the reproach they hurled at You, O Lord.
Ya TUHAN, balaslah bangsa-bangsa itu tujuh kali lipat karena semua penghinaan mereka terhadap-Mu.
13 Then we Your people, the sheep of Your pasture, will thank You forever; from generation to generation we will declare Your praise.
Maka kami umat-Mu, domba gembalaan-Mu, akan bersyukur kepada-Mu untuk selama-lamanya, dan memuji Engkau turun-temurun.
