Psalms 109
1 For the end, a Psalm of David. For the end, a Psalm of David. O God, pass not over my praise in silence;
Untuk pemimpin biduan. Mazmur Daud. Ya Allah pujianku, janganlah berdiam diri!
2 for the mouth of the sinner and the mouth of the crafty [man] have been opened against me: they have spoken against me with a crafty tongue.
Sebab mulut orang fasik dan mulut penipu ternganga terhadap aku, mereka berbicara terhadap aku dengan lidah dusta;
3 And they have compassed me with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.
dengan kata-kata kebencian mereka menyerang aku dan memerangi aku tanpa alasan.
4 Instead of loving me, they falsely accused me: but I continued to pray.
Sebagai balasan terhadap kasihku mereka menuduh aku, sedang aku mendoakan mereka.
5 And they rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
Mereka membalas kejahatan kepadaku ganti kebaikan dan kebencian ganti kasihku.
6 Set you a sinner against him; and let the devil stand at his right hand.
"Angkatlah seorang fasik atas dia, dan biarlah seorang pendakwa berdiri di sebelah kanannya;
7 When he is judged, let him go forth condemned: and let his prayer become sin.
apabila dihakimi, biarlah ia keluar sebagai orang bersalah, dan biarlah doanya menjadi dosa.
8 Let his days be few: and let another take his office of overseer.
Biarlah umurnya berkurang, biarlah jabatannya diambil orang lain.
9 Let his children be orphans, and his wife a widow.
Biarlah anak-anaknya menjadi yatim, dan isterinya menjadi janda.
10 Let his children wander without a dwelling-place, and beg: let them be cast out of their habitations.
Biarlah anak-anaknya mengembara tidak keruan dan mengemis, dan dihalau dari reruntuhan rumahnya.
11 Let [his] creditor exact all that belongs to him: and let strangers spoil his labors.
Biarlah penagih hutang menyita segala kepunyaannya, dan orang-orang lain menjarah hasil jerih payahnya.
12 Let him have no helper; neither let there be any one to have compassion on his fatherless children.
Janganlah ada orang yang tetap menunjukkan kasihnya kepadanya, dan janganlah ada orang yang sayang kepada anak-anaknya yang menjadi yatim.
13 Let his children be [given up] to utter destruction: in one generation let his name be blotted out.
Biarlah dilenyapkan keturunannya, dan dihapuskan namanya dalam angkatan yang kemudian.
14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the Lord; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
Biarlah kesalahan nenek moyangnya diingat-ingat di hadapan TUHAN, dan janganlah dihapuskan dosa ibunya.
15 Let them be before the Lord continually; and let their memorial be blotted out from the earth.
Biarlah itu selalu diperhatikan TUHAN, supaya ingatan kepada mereka dilenyapkan dari bumi.
16 Because he remembered not to show mercy, but persecuted the needy and poor man, and [that] to kill him that was pricked in the heart.
Oleh karena ia tidak ingat menunjukkan kasih, tetapi mengejar orang sengsara dan miskin dan orang yang hancur hati sampai mereka mati.
17 He loved cursing also, and it shall come upon him; and he took not pleasure in blessing, so it shall be removed far from him.
Ia cinta kepada kutuk--biarlah itu datang kepadanya; ia tidak suka kepada berkat--biarlah itu menjauh dari padanya.
18 Yes, he put on cursing as a garment, and it is come as water into his bowels, and as oil into his bones.
Ia memakai kutuk sebagai bajunya--biarlah itu merembes seperti air ke dalam dirinya, dan seperti minyak ke dalam tulang-tulangnya;
19 Let it be to him as a garment which he puts on, and as a girdle with which he girds himself continually.
biarlah itu baginya seperti pakaian yang dikenakannya, sebagai ikat pinggang yang senantiasa dipakainya.
20 This is the dealing of the Lord with those who falsely accuse me, and of them that speak evil against my soul.
Biarlah semuanya itu dari pihak TUHAN menjadi upah orang yang mendakwa aku, dan upah orang-orang yang berkata-kata jahat terhadap aku."
21 But you, O Lord, Lord, deal [mercifully] with me, for your name's sake: for your mercy is good.
Tetapi Engkau, ya ALLAH, Tuhanku, bertindaklah kepadaku oleh karena nama-Mu, lepaskanlah aku oleh sebab kasih setia-Mu yang baik!
22 Deliver me, for I am poor and needy; and my heart is troubled within me.
Sebab sengsara dan miskin aku, dan hatiku terluka dalam diriku;
23 I am removed as a shadow in its going down: I am tossed up and down like locusts.
aku menghilang seperti bayang-bayang pada waktu memanjang, aku dikebutkan seperti belalang.
24 My knees are weakened through fasting, and my flesh is changed by reason of [the lack of] oil.
Lututku melentuk oleh sebab berpuasa, dan badanku menjadi kurus, habis lemaknya.
25 I became also a reproach to them: [when] they saw me they shook their heads.
Aku telah menjadi cela bagi mereka; melihat aku, mereka menggelengkan kepalanya.
26 Help me, O Lord my God; and save me according to your mercy.
Tolonglah aku, ya TUHAN, Allahku, selamatkanlah aku sesuai dengan kasih setia-Mu,
27 And let them know that this is your hand; and [that] you, Lord, have wrought it.
supaya mereka tahu, bahwa tangan-Mulah ini, bahwa Engkaulah, ya TUHAN, yang telah melakukannya.
28 Let them curse, but you shall bless: let them that rise up against me be ashamed, but let your servant rejoice.
Biar mereka mengutuk, Engkau akan memberkati; biarlah lawan-lawanku mendapat malu, tetapi hamba-Mu ini kiranya bersukacita.
29 Let those that falsely accuse me be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their shame as with a mantle.
Biarlah orang-orang yang mendakwa aku berpakaikan noda, dan berselimutkan malunya sebagai jubah.
30 I will give thanks to the Lord abundantly with my mouth; and in the midst of many I will praise him.
Aku hendak bersyukur sangat kepada TUHAN dengan mulutku, dan aku hendak memuji-muji Dia di tengah-tengah orang banyak.
31 For he stood on the right hand of the poor, to save [me] from them that persecute my soul.
Sebab Ia berdiri di sebelah kanan orang miskin untuk menyelamatkannya dari orang-orang yang menghukumnya.
