Psalms 81
1 To the chief music-maker; put to the Gittith. Of Asaph. Make a song to God our strength: make a glad cry to the God of Jacob.
Untuk pemimpin biduan. Menurut lagu: Gitit. Dari Asaf. Bersorak-sorailah bagi Allah, kekuatan kita, bersorak-soraklah bagi Allah Yakub.
2 Take up the melody, playing on an instrument of music, even on corded instruments.
Angkatlah lagu, bunyikanlah rebana, kecapi yang merdu, diiringi gambus.
3 Let the horn be sounded in the time of the new moon, at the full moon, on our holy feast-day:
Tiuplah sangkakala pada bulan baru, pada bulan purnama, pada hari raya kita.
4 For this is a rule for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob.
Sebab hal itu adalah suatu ketetapan bagi Israel, suatu hukum dari Allah Yakub.
5 He gave it to Joseph as a witness, when he went out over the land of Egypt; then the words of a strange tongue were sounding in my ears.
Sebagai suatu peringatan bagi Yusuf ditetapkan-Nya hal itu, pada waktu Ia maju melawan tanah Mesir. Aku mendengar bahasa yang tidak kukenal:
6 I took the weight from his back; his hands were made free from the baskets.
"Aku telah mengangkat beban dari bahunya, tangannya telah bebas dari keranjang pikulan;
7 You gave a cry in your trouble, and I made you free; I gave you an answer in the secret place of the thunder; I put you to the test at the waters of Meribah. (Selah)
dalam kesesakan engkau berseru, maka Aku meluputkan engkau; Aku menjawab engkau dalam persembunyian guntur, Aku telah menguji engkau dekat air Meriba. (Sela)
8 Give ear, O my people, and I will give you my word, O Israel, if you will only do as I say!
Dengarlah hai umat-Ku, Aku hendak memberi peringatan kepadamu; hai Israel, jika engkau mau mendengarkan Aku!
9 There is to be no strange god among you; you are not to give worship to any other god.
Janganlah ada di antaramu allah lain, dan janganlah engkau menyembah kepada allah asing.
10 I am the Lord your God, who took you up from the land of Egypt: let your mouth be open wide, so that I may give you food.
Akulah TUHAN, Allahmu, yang menuntun engkau keluar dari tanah Mesir: bukalah mulutmu lebar-lebar, maka Aku akan membuatnya penuh.
11 But my people did not give ear to my voice; Israel would have nothing to do with me.
Tetapi umat-Ku tidak mendengarkan suara-Ku, dan Israel tidak suka kepada-Ku.
12 So I gave them up to the desires of their hearts; that they might go after their evil purposes.
Sebab itu Aku membiarkan dia dalam kedegilan hatinya; biarlah mereka berjalan mengikuti rencananya sendiri!
13 If only my people would give ear to me, walking in my ways!
Sekiranya umat-Ku mendengarkan Aku! Sekiranya Israel hidup menurut jalan yang Kutunjukkan!
14 I would quickly overcome their haters: my hand would be turned against those who make war on them.
Seketika itu juga musuh mereka Aku tundukkan, dan terhadap para lawan mereka Aku balikkan tangan-Ku.
15 The haters of the Lord would be broken, and their destruction would be eternal.
Orang-orang yang membenci TUHAN akan tunduk menjilat kepada-Nya, dan itulah nasib mereka untuk selama-lamanya.
16 I would give them the best grain for food; you would be full of honey from the rock.
Tetapi umat-Ku akan Kuberi makan gandum yang terbaik dan dengan madu dari gunung batu Aku akan mengenyangkannya."
