2 Samuel 22
1 And David spoke to the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul:
Daud mengatakan perkataan nyanyian ini kepada TUHAN pada waktu TUHAN telah melepaskan dia dari cengkeraman semua musuhnya dan dari cengkeraman Saul.
2 And he said, The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;
Ia berkata: "Ya, TUHAN, bukit batuku, kubu pertahananku dan penyelamatku,
3 The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my savior; you save me from violence.
Allahku, gunung batuku, tempat aku berlindung, perisaiku, tanduk keselamatanku, kota bentengku, tempat pelarianku, juruselamatku; Engkau menyelamatkan aku dari kekerasan.
4 I will call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from my enemies.
Terpujilah TUHAN, seruku; maka akupun selamat dari pada musuhku.
5 When the waves of death compassed me, the floods of ungodly men made me afraid;
Sesungguhnya gelora-gelora maut telah mengelilingi aku, banjir-banjir jahanam telah menimpa aku,
tali-tali dunia orang mati telah membelit aku, perangkap-perangkap maut terpasang di depanku. (Sheol h7585)
7 In my distress I called on the LORD, and cried to my God: and he did hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry did enter into his ears.
Ketika aku dalam kesesakan, aku berseru kepada TUHAN, kepada Allahku aku berseru. Dan Ia mendengar suaraku dari bait-Nya, teriakku minta tolong masuk ke telinga-Nya.
8 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of heaven moved and shook, because he was wroth.
Lalu bergoyang dan bergoncanglah bumi, dasar-dasar langit gemetar dan bergoyang, oleh karena bernyala-nyala murka-Nya.
9 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
Asap membubung dari hidung-Nya, api menjilat keluar dari mulut-Nya, bara menyala keluar dari pada-Nya.
10 He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and darkness was under his feet.
Ia menekukkan langit, lalu turun, kekelaman ada di bawah kaki-Nya.
11 And he rode on a cherub, and did fly: and he was seen on the wings of the wind.
Ia mengendarai kerub, lalu terbang, dan tampak di atas sayap angin.
12 And he made darkness pavilions round about him, dark waters, and thick clouds of the skies.
Dan Ia membuat kegelapan di sekeliling-Nya menjadi pondok-Nya: air hujan yang gelap, awan yang tebal.
13 Through the brightness before him were coals of fire kindled.
Karena sinar kilat di hadapan-Nya bara api menjadi menyala.
14 The LORD thundered from heaven, and the most High uttered his voice.
TUHAN mengguntur dari langit, Yang Mahatinggi memperdengarkan suara-Nya.
15 And he sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and discomfited them.
Dilepaskan-Nya panah-panah, sehingga diserakkan-Nya mereka, yakni kilat-kilat, sehingga dikacaukan-Nya mereka.
16 And the channels of the sea appeared, the foundations of the world were discovered, at the rebuking of the LORD, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.
Lalu kelihatanlah dasar-dasar laut, alas-alas dunia tersingkap karena hardikan TUHAN karena hembusan nafas dari hidung-Nya.
17 He sent from above, he took me; he drew me out of many waters;
Ia menjangkau dari tempat tinggi, mengambil aku, menarik aku dari banjir.
18 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me.
Ia melepaskan aku dari musuhku yang gagah, dari pada orang-orang yang membenci aku, karena mereka terlalu kuat bagiku.
19 They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.
Mereka menghadang aku pada hari sialku, tetapi TUHAN adalah sandaran bagiku;
20 He brought me forth also into a large place: he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
Ia membawa aku keluar ke tempat lapang, Ia menyelamatkan aku, karena Ia berkenan kepadaku.
21 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness: according to the cleanness of my hands has he recompensed me.
TUHAN memperlakukan aku sesuai dengan kebenaranku; Ia membalas kepadaku sesuai dengan kesucian tanganku,
22 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
sebab aku tetap mengikuti jalan TUHAN dan tidak menjauhkan diri dari Allahku sebagai orang fasik.
23 For all his judgments were before me: and as for his statutes, I did not depart from them.
Sebab segala hukum-Nya kuperhatikan, dan dari ketetapan-Nya aku tidak menyimpang;
24 I was also upright before him, and have kept myself from my iniquity.
aku berlaku tidak bercela kepada-Nya dan menjaga diri terhadap kesalahan.
25 Therefore the LORD has recompensed me according to my righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eye sight.
Karena itu TUHAN membalas kepadaku sesuai dengan kebenaranku, sesuai dengan kesucianku di depan mata-Nya.
26 With the merciful you will show yourself merciful, and with the upright man you will show yourself upright.
Terhadap orang yang setia Engkau berlaku setia, terhadap orang yang tidak bercela Engkau berlaku tidak bercela,
27 With the pure you will show yourself pure; and with the fraudulent you will show yourself unsavory.
terhadap orang yang suci Engkau berlaku suci, tetapi terhadap orang yang bengkok Engkau berlaku belat-belit.
28 And the afflicted people you will save: but your eyes are on the haughty, that you may bring them down.
Bangsa yang tertindas Engkau selamatkan, tetapi mata-Mu melawan orang-orang yang tinggi hati, supaya mereka Kaurendahkan.
29 For you are my lamp, O LORD: and the LORD will lighten my darkness.
Karena Engkaulah pelitaku, ya TUHAN, dan TUHAN menyinari kegelapanku.
30 For by you I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped over a wall.
Karena dengan Engkau aku berani menghadapi gerombolan, dengan Allahku aku berani melompati tembok.
31 As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him.
Adapun Allah, jalan-Nya sempurna; sabda TUHAN itu murni; Dia menjadi perisai bagi semua orang yang berlindung pada-Nya.
32 For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a rock, save our God?
Sebab siapakah Allah selain dari TUHAN, dan siapakah gunung batu selain dari Allah kita?
33 God is my strength and power: and he makes my way perfect.
Allah, Dialah yang menjadi tempat pengungsianku yang kuat dan membuat jalanku rata;
34 He makes my feet like hinds’ feet: and sets me on my high places.
yang membuat kakiku seperti kaki rusa dan membuat aku berdiri di bukit;
35 He teaches my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by my arms.
yang mengajar tanganku berperang, sehingga lenganku dapat melengkungkan busur tembaga.
36 You have also given me the shield of your salvation: and your gentleness has made me great.
Juga Kauberikan kepadaku perisai keselamatan-Mu, dan kebaikan-Mu telah membuat aku besar.
37 You have enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet did not slip.
Kauberikan tempat lapang untuk langkahku, dan mata kakiku tidak goyah.
38 I have pursued my enemies, and destroyed them; and turned not again until I had consumed them.
Aku mengejar musuhku sampai mereka kupunahkan, dan tidak berbalik sebelum mereka kuhabiskan;
39 And I have consumed them, and wounded them, that they could not arise: yes, they are fallen under my feet.
aku menghabiskan dan meremukkan mereka, sehingga mereka tidak bangkit lagi, dan mereka rebah di bawah kakiku.
40 For you have girded me with strength to battle: them that rose up against me have you subdued under me.
Engkau telah mengikat pinggangku dengan keperkasaan untuk berperang, Engkau tundukkan ke bawah kuasaku orang yang bangkit melawan aku.
41 You have also given me the necks of my enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me.
Kaubuat musuhku lari dari padaku, orang-orang yang membenci aku, mereka kubinasakan.
42 They looked, but there was none to save; even to the LORD, but he answered them not.
Mereka berteriak minta tolong, tetapi tidak ada yang menyelamatkan, mereka berteriak kepada TUHAN, tetapi Ia tidak menjawab mereka.
43 Then did I beat them as small as the dust of the earth, I did stamp them as the mire of the street, and did spread them abroad.
Aku menggiling mereka halus-halus seperti debu tanah, aku menumbuk mereka dan menginjak-injak mereka seperti lumpur di jalan.
44 You also have delivered me from the strivings of my people, you have kept me to be head of the heathen: a people which I knew not shall serve me.
Dan Engkau meluputkan aku dari perbantahan bangsaku; Engkau memelihara aku sebagai kepala atas bangsa-bangsa; bangsa yang tidak kukenal menjadi hambaku;
45 Strangers shall submit themselves to me: as soon as they hear, they shall be obedient to me.
orang-orang asing tunduk menjilat kepadaku, baru saja telinga mereka mendengar, mereka taat kepadaku.
46 Strangers shall fade away, and they shall be afraid out of their close places.
Orang-orang asing pucat layu dan keluar dari kota kubunya dengan gemetar.
47 The LORD lives; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation.
TUHAN hidup! Terpujilah gunung batuku, dan ditinggikanlah kiranya Allah gunung batu keselamatanku,
48 It is God that avenges me, and that brings down the people under me.
Allah, yang telah mengadakan pembalasan bagiku, yang telah membawa bangsa-bangsa ke bawah kuasaku,
49 And that brings me forth from my enemies: you also have lifted me up on high above them that rose up against me: you have delivered me from the violent man.
dan yang telah membebaskan aku dari pada musuhku. Dan Engkau telah meninggikan aku mengatasi mereka yang bangkit melawan aku; Engkau telah melepaskan aku dari para penindas.
50 Therefore I will give thanks to you, O LORD, among the heathen, and I will sing praises to your name.
Sebab itu aku mau menyanyikan syukur bagi-Mu, ya TUHAN, di antara bangsa-bangsa, dan aku mau menyanyikan mazmur bagi nama-Mu.
51 He is the tower of salvation for his king: and shows mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for ever more.
Ia mengaruniakan keselamatan yang besar kepada raja yang diangkat-Nya, dan menunjukkan kasih setia kepada orang yang diurapi-Nya, kepada Daud dan anak cucunya untuk selamanya."
