Psalms 68
1 Unto the end, a psalm of a canticle for David himself. Let God arise, and let his enemies be scattered: and let them that hate him flee from before his face.
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 vanisheth, so let them vanish away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
Seperti asap hilang tertiup, seperti lilin meleleh di depan api, demikianlah orang-orang fasik binasa di hadapan Allah.
3 And let the just feast, and rejoice before God: and be delighted with gladness.
Tetapi orang-orang benar bersukacita, mereka beria-ria di hadapan Allah, bergembira dan bersukacita.
4 Sing ye to God, sing a psalm to his name, make a way for him who ascendeth upon the west: the Lord is his name. Rejoice ye before him: but the wicked shall be troubled at his presence,
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 Who is the father of orphans, and the judge of widows. God in his holy place:
Bapa bagi anak yatim dan Pelindung bagi para janda, itulah Allah di kediaman-Nya yang kudus;
6 God who maketh men of one manner to dwell in a house: Who bringeth out them that were bound in strength; in like manner them that provoke, that dwell in sepulchres.
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 thou didst go forth in the sight of thy people, when thou didst pass through the desert:
Ya Allah, ketika Engkau maju berperang di depan umat-Mu, ketika Engkau melangkah di padang belantara, (Sela)
8 The earth was moved, and the heavens dropped at the presence of the God of Sina, at the presence of the God of Israel.
bergoncanglah bumi, bahkan langit mencurahkan hujan di hadapan Allah; Sinai bergoyang di hadapan Allah, Allah Israel.
9 Thou shalt set aside for thy inheritance a free rain, O God: and it was weakened, but thou hast made it perfect.
Hujan yang melimpah Engkau siramkan, ya Allah; Engkau memulihkan tanah milik-Mu yang gersang,
10 In it shall thy animals dwell; in thy sweetness, O God, thou hast 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 shall give the word to them that preach good tidings with great power.
Tuhan menyampaikan sabda; orang-orang yang membawa kabar baik itu merupakan tentara yang besar:
12 The king of powers is of the beloved, of the beloved; and the beauty of the house shall divide spoils.
Raja-raja segala tentara melarikan diri, melarikan diri, dan perempuan di rumah membagi-bagi jarahan.
13 If you sleep among the midst of lots, you shall be as the wings of a dove covered with silver, and the hinder parts of her back with the paleness of gold.
Maukah kamu berbaring di antara kandang-kandang? Sayap-sayap merpati bersalut dengan perak, bulu kepaknya dengan emas berkilau-kilauan.
14 When he that is in heaven appointeth kings over her, they shall be whited with snow in Selmon.
Ketika Yang Mahakuasa menyerakkan raja-raja di sana, turunlah salju di atas gunung Zalmon.
15 The mountain of God is a fat mountain. A curdled mountain, a fat mountain.
Gunung Allah gunung Basan itu, gunung yang berpuncak banyak gunung Basan itu!
16 Why suspect, ye curdled mountains? A mountain in which God is well pleased to dwell: for there the Lord shall dwell unto the end.
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 chariot of God is attended by ten thousands; thousands of them that rejoice: the Lord is among them in Sina, in the holy place.
Kereta-kereta Allah puluhan ribu, bahkan beribu-ribu banyaknya; Tuhan telah datang dari Sinai, masuk ke tempat kudus!
18 Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive; thou hast received gifts in men. Yea for those also that do not believe, the dwelling of the Lord God.
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 day by day: the God of our salvation will make our journey prosperous to us.
Terpujilah Tuhan! Hari demi hari Ia menanggung bagi kita; Allah adalah keselamatan kita. (Sela)
20 Our God is the God of salvation: and of the Lord, of the Lord are the issues from death.
Allah bagi kita adalah Allah yang menyelamatkan, ALLAH, Tuhanku, memberi keluputan dari maut.
21 But God shall break the heads of his enemies: the hairy crown of them that walk on in their sins.
Sesungguhnya, Allah meremukkan kepala musuh-Nya, tempurung kepala yang berambut dari orang yang tetap hidup dalam kesalahan-kesalahannya.
22 The Lord said: I will turn them from Basan, I will turn them into the depth of the sea:
Tuhan telah berfirman: "Dari Basan akan Kubawa kembali, akan Kubawa kembali dari tempat yang dalam,
23 That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thy enemies; the tongue of thy dogs be red with the same.
supaya engkau membasuh kakimu dalam darah, dan lidah anjing-anjingmu mendapat bagiannya dari pada musuh."
24 They have seen thy goings, O God, the goings of my God: of my king who is in his sanctuary.
Orang melihat perarakan-Mu, ya Allah, perarakan Allahku, Rajaku, ke dalam tempat kudus.
25 Princes went before joined with singers, in the midst of young damsels playing on timbrels.
Di depan berjalan penyanyi-penyanyi, di belakang pemetik-pemetik kecapi, di tengah-tengah dayang-dayang yang memalu rebana.
26 In the churches bless ye God the Lord, from the fountains of Israel.
"Dalam jemaah pujilah Allah, yakni TUHAN, hai kamu yang berasal dari sumber Israel!"
27 There is Benjamin a youth, in ecstasy of mind. The princes of Juda are their leaders: the princes of Zabulon, the princes of Nephthali.
Itu Benyamin, yang bungsu, yang berjalan di depan mereka, pemuka-pemuka Yehuda berbondong-bondong, pemuka-pemuka Zebulon, pemuka-pemuka Naftali.
28 Command thy strength, O God: confirm, O God, what thou hast wrought in us.
Kerahkanlah kekuatan-Mu, ya Allah, tunjukkanlah kekuatan-Mu, ya Allah, Engkau yang telah bertindak bagi kami.
29 From thy temple in Jerusalem, kings shall offer presents to thee.
Demi bait-Mu di Yerusalem, raja-raja menyampaikan persembahan kepada-Mu.
30 Rebuke the wild beasts of the reeds, the congregation of bulls with the kine of the people; who seek to exclude them who are tried with silver. Scatter thou the nations that delight in wars:
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 Ambassadors shall come out of Egypt: Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands to God.
Dari Mesir orang membawa barang-barang tembaga, Etiopia bersegera mengulurkan tangannya kepada Allah.
32 Sing to God, ye kingdoms of the earth: sing ye to the Lord: Sing ye to God,
Hai kerajaan-kerajaan bumi, menyanyilah bagi Allah, bermazmurlah bagi Tuhan; (Sela)
33 Who mounteth above the heaven of heavens, to the east. Behold he will give to his voice the voice of power:
bagi Dia yang berkendaraan melintasi langit purbakala. Perhatikanlah, Ia memperdengarkan suara-Nya, suara-Nya yang dahsyat!
34 Give ye glory to God for Israel, his magnificence, and his power is in the clouds.
Akuilah kekuasaan Allah; kemegahan-Nya ada di atas Israel, kekuasaan-Nya di dalam awan-awan.
35 God is wonderful in his saints: the God of Israel is he who will give power and strength 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!
