Psalms 81
1 Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.
Untuk pemimpin kor. Menurut lagu: Gitit. Dari Asaf. Nyanyikanlah puji-pujian bagi Allah, kekuatan kita, bersoraklah dengan gembira bagi Allah Yakub.
2 Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.
Bunyikanlah rebana, angkatlah lagu, petiklah gambus dan kecapi dengan merdu.
3 Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.
Tiuplah terompet pada hari raya kita, pada pesta bulan baru dan bulan purnama.
4 For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob.
Sebab hal itu suatu peraturan di Israel, suatu perintah dari Allah Yakub.
5 This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I understood not.
Ia menjadikannya sebuah ketetapan bagi bangsa Israel, ketika Ia maju melawan Mesir. Aku mendengar bahasa yang tidak kukenal,
6 I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots.
"Aku telah mengangkat beban dari pundakmu, dan melepaskan keranjang pikulan dari tanganmu.
7 Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder: I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. (Selah)
Dalam kesusahanmu kamu berseru, dan Aku menyelamatkan kamu. Kujawab kamu dari guntur tempat Aku bersembunyi, Kuuji kamu di mata air Meriba.
8 Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me;
Dengarlah peringatan-Ku, hai umat-Ku, Israel, sekiranya kamu mau mendengarkan Aku!
9 There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god.
Jangan di antaramu ada ilah lain, janganlah menyembah ilah asing.
10 I am Yhwh thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
Akulah TUHAN Allahmu, yang menuntun kamu keluar dari Mesir. Waktu kamu lapar kamu Kuberi makan.
11 But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me.
Tapi umat-Ku tak mau mendengarkan Aku, Israel tak mau taat kepada-Ku.
12 So I gave them up unto their own hearts’ lust: and they walked in their own counsels.
Sebab itu Aku membiarkan mereka berkeras kepala; biarlah mereka mengikuti kemauan mereka sendiri.
13 Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways!
Ah, sekiranya umat-Ku mau mendengarkan Aku, sekiranya mereka mau taat kepada-Ku,
14 I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.
maka Aku segera menundukkan musuh mereka, dan mengalahkan semua lawan mereka.
15 The haters of Yhwh should have submitted themselves unto him: but their time should have endured for ever.
Orang yang membenci Aku akan Kutaklukkan, mereka akan dihukum untuk selama-lamanya.
16 He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee.
Tetapi umat-Ku akan Kuberi makan gandum pilihan, dan Kukenyangkan dengan madu hutan."
