Psalms 79
1 O God, the heathen are come into your inheritance; your holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps.
Mazmur Asaf. Ya Allah, bangsa-bangsa lain telah masuk ke dalam tanah milik-Mu, menajiskan bait kudus-Mu, membuat Yerusalem menjadi timbunan puing.
2 The dead bodies of your servants have they given to be meat to the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of your saints to the beasts of the earth.
Mereka memberikan mayat hamba-hamba-Mu sebagai makanan kepada burung-burung di udara, daging orang-orang yang Kaukasihi kepada binatang-binatang liar di bumi.
3 Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem; and there was none to bury them.
Mereka menumpahkan darah orang-orang itu seperti air sekeliling Yerusalem, dan tidak ada yang menguburkan.
4 We are become a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.
Kami menjadi cela bagi tetangga-tetangga kami, menjadi olok-olok dan cemooh bagi orang-orang sekeliling kami.
5 How long, LORD? will you be angry for ever? shall your jealousy burn like fire?
Berapa lama lagi, ya TUHAN, Engkau murka terus-menerus, dan cemburu-Mu berkobar-kobar seperti api?
6 Pour out your wrath on the heathen that have not known you, and on the kingdoms that have not called on your name.
Tumpahkanlah amarah-Mu ke atas bangsa-bangsa yang tidak mengenal Engkau, ke atas kerajaan-kerajaan yang tidak menyerukan nama-Mu;
7 For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his dwelling place.
sebab mereka telah memakan habis Yakub, dan tempat kediamannya mereka hancurkan.
8 O remember not against us former iniquities: let your tender mercies speedily prevent us: for we are brought very low.
Janganlah perhitungkan kepada kami kesalahan nenek moyang kami; kiranya rahmat-Mu segera menyongsong kami, sebab sudah sangat lemah kami.
9 Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of your name: and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for your name’s sake.
Tolonglah kami, ya Allah penyelamat kami, demi kemuliaan nama-Mu! Lepaskanlah kami dan ampunilah dosa kami oleh karena nama-Mu!
10 Why should the heathen say, Where is their God? let him be known among the heathen in our sight by the revenging of the blood of your servants which is shed.
Mengapa bangsa-bangsa lain boleh berkata: "Di mana Allah mereka?" Biarlah di hadapan kami bangsa-bangsa lain mengetahui pembalasan atas darah yang tertumpah dari hamba-hamba-Mu.
11 Let the sighing of the prisoner come before you; according to the greatness of your power preserve you those that are appointed to die;
Biarlah sampai ke hadapan-Mu keluhan orang tahanan; sesuai dengan kebesaran lengan-Mu, biarkanlah hidup orang-orang yang ditentukan untuk mati dibunuh!
12 And render to our neighbors sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, with which they have reproached you, O Lord.
Dan balikkanlah ke atas pangkuan tetangga kami tujuh kali lipat cela yang telah didatangkan kepada-Mu, ya Tuhan!
13 So we your people and sheep of your pasture will give you thanks for ever: we will show forth your praise to all generations.
Maka kami ini, umat-Mu, dan kawanan domba gembalaan-Mu, akan bersyukur kepada-Mu untuk selama-lamanya, dan akan memberitakan puji-pujian untuk-Mu turun-temurun.
