Psalms 83
1 A Song of a Psalm for Asaph. O God, who shall be compared to thee? be not silent, neither be still, O God.
Mazmur Asaf: suatu nyanyian. Ya Allah, janganlah Engkau bungkam, janganlah berdiam diri dan janganlah berpangku tangan, ya Allah!
2 For behold, thine enemies have made a noise; and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
Sebab sesungguhnya musuh-musuh-Mu ribut, orang-orang yang membenci Engkau meninggikan kepala.
3 Against thy people they have craftily imagined a device, and have taken counsel against thy saints.
Mereka mengadakan permufakatan licik melawan umat-Mu, dan mereka berunding untuk melawan orang-orang yang Kaulindungi.
4 They have said, Come, and let us utterly destroy them out of the nation; and let the name of Israel be remembered no more at all.
Kata mereka: "Marilah kita lenyapkan mereka sebagai bangsa, sehingga nama Israel tidak diingat lagi!"
5 For they have taken counsel together with one consent: they have made a confederacy against thee;
Sungguh, mereka telah berunding dengan satu hati, mereka telah mengadakan perjanjian melawan Engkau:
6 even the tents of the Idumeans, and the Ismaelites; Moab, and the Agarenes;
Penghuni kemah-kemah Edom dan orang Ismael, Moab dan orang Hagar,
7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalec; the Philistines also, with them that dwell at Tyre.
Gebal dan Amon dan Amalek, Filistea beserta penduduk Tirus,
8 Yea, Assur too is come with them: they have become a help to the children of Lot. (Pause)
juga Asyur telah bergabung dengan mereka, menjadi kaki tangan bani Lot. (Sela)
9 Do thou to them as to Madiam, and to Sisera; as to Jabin at the brook of Kison.
Perlakukanlah mereka seperti Midian, seperti Sisera, seperti Yabin dekat sungai Kison,
10 They were utterly destroyed at Aendor: they became as dung for the earth.
yang sudah dipunahkan di En-Dor, menjadi pupuk bagi tanah.
11 Make their princes as Oreb and Zeb, and Zebee and Salmana; [even] all their princes:
Buatlah para pemuka mereka seperti Oreb dan Zeeb, seperti Zebah dan Salmuna semua pemimpin mereka,
12 who said, let us take to ourselves the altar of God as an inheritance.
yang berkata: "Marilah kita menduduki tempat-tempat kediaman Allah!"
13 O my God, make them as a wheel; as stubble before the face of the wind.
Ya Allahku, buatlah mereka seperti dedak yang beterbangan, seperti jerami yang ditiup angin!
14 As fire which shall burn up a wood, as the flame may consume the mountains;
Seperti api yang membakar hutan, dan seperti nyala api yang menghanguskan gunung-gunung,
15 so shalt thou persecute them with thy tempest, and trouble them in thine anger.
kejarlah mereka dengan badai-Mu, dan kejutkanlah mereka dengan puting beliung-Mu;
16 Fill their faces with dishonour; so shall they seek thy name, O Lord.
penuhilah muka mereka dengan kehinaan, supaya mereka mencari nama-Mu, ya TUHAN!
17 Let them be ashamed and troubled for evermore; yea, let them be confounded and destroyed.
Biarlah mereka mendapat malu dan terkejut selama-lamanya; biarlah mereka tersipu-sipu dan binasa,
18 And let them know that thy name is Lord; that thou alone art Most High over all the earth.
supaya mereka tahu bahwa Engkau sajalah yang bernama TUHAN, Yang Mahatinggi atas seluruh bumi.
