< Psalms 135 >
1 Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord's reputation! Praise the Lord, all you servants of the Lord
Haleluya! Pujilah nama TUHAN, pujilah, hai hamba-hamba TUHAN,
2 who worship in the house of the Lord, in the courts of our God.
hai orang-orang yang datang melayani di rumah TUHAN, di pelataran rumah Allah kita!
3 Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good; sing praises to his character because it is wonderful!
Pujilah TUHAN, sebab TUHAN itu baik, bermazmurlah bagi nama-Nya, sebab nama itu indah!
4 For the Lord has chosen Jacob for himself; Israel as his very own.
Sebab TUHAN telah memilih Yakub bagi-Nya, Israel menjadi milik kesayangan-Nya.
5 I know how great the Lord is—our Lord is greater than all gods.
Sesungguhnya aku tahu, bahwa TUHAN itu maha besar dan Tuhan kita itu melebihi segala allah.
6 The Lord does whatever he wants throughout heaven and earth, on the seas and in the ocean depths.
TUHAN melakukan apa yang dikehendaki-Nya, di langit dan di bumi, di laut dan di segenap samudera raya;
7 He causes the clouds to rise all over the earth, he makes lightning flash and give rain, he sends the winds from his storehouses.
Ia menaikkan kabut dari ujung bumi, Ia membuat kilat mengikuti hujan, Ia mengeluarkan angin dari dalam perbendaharaan-Nya.
8 He struck down the firstborn of Egypt, both human and animal.
Dialah yang memukul mati anak-anak sulung Mesir, baik manusia maupun hewan,
9 He did wonderful miracles among you in Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his servants.
dan mendatangkan tanda-tanda dan mujizat-mujizat ke tengah-tengahmu, hai Mesir, menentang Firaun dan menentang semua pegawainya.
10 He struck down many nations, he killed powerful kings, such as
Dialah yang memukul kalah banyak bangsa, dan membunuh raja-raja yang kuat:
11 Sihon, king of the Amorites, Og, king of Bashan, and all the kings who ruled in Canaan.
Sihon, raja orang Amori, dan Og, raja negeri Basan, dan segala kerajaan Kanaan,
12 He handed over their lands to Israel, his special people, for them to possess.
dan memberikan tanah mereka sebagai milik pusaka, milik pusaka kepada Israel, umat-Nya.
13 Your reputation, Lord, stands forever; you, Lord, are remembered for all generations.
Ya TUHAN, nama-Mu adalah untuk selama-lamanya; ya TUHAN, Engkau diingat turun-temurun.
14 The Lord will vindicate his people; he will show compassion to those who follow him.
Sebab TUHAN akan memberi keadilan kepada umat-Nya, dan akan sayang kepada hamba-hamba-Nya.
15 The idols of the foreign nations are only objects of silver and gold, made by human hands.
Berhala bangsa-bangsa adalah perak dan emas, buatan tangan manusia,
16 They have mouths, but can't speak; they have eyes, but can't see.
mempunyai mulut, tetapi tidak dapat berkata-kata, mempunyai mata, tetapi tidak dapat melihat,
17 They have ears, but can't hear; they can't even breathe!
mempunyai telinga, tetapi tidak dapat mendengar, juga nafas tidak ada dalam mulut mereka.
18 Those who make idols will become just like them, and so will everyone who trusts in them.
Seperti itulah jadinya orang-orang yang membuatnya, semua orang yang percaya kepadanya.
19 People of Israel, praise the Lord! Descendants of Aaron, praise the Lord!
Hai kaum Israel, pujilah TUHAN! Hai kaum Harun, pujilah TUHAN!
20 Levites, praise the Lord! Everyone who worships the Lord, praise the Lord!
Hai kaum Lewi, pujilah TUHAN! Hai orang-orang yang takut akan TUHAN, pujilah TUHAN!
21 Praise the Lord from Zion, for he lives in Jerusalem! Praise the Lord!
Terpujilah TUHAN dari Sion, Dia yang diam di Yerusalem! Haleluya!
