Psalms 79
1 A Psalm for Asaph. O God, the heathen are come into your inheritance; they have polluted your holy temple; they have made Jerusalem a storehouse of fruits.
Mazmur Asaf. Ya Allah, bangsa-bangsa lain telah masuk ke dalam tanah milik-Mu, menajiskan bait kudus-Mu, membuat Yerusalem menjadi timbunan puing.
2 They have given the dead bodies of your servants [to be] food for the birds of the sky, the flesh of your holy ones for the wild 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 They have shed their blood as 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, O 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 upon the heathen that have not known you, and upon the kingdoms which have not called upon 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 his place waste.
sebab mereka telah memakan habis Yakub, dan tempat kediamannya mereka hancurkan.
8 Remember not our old transgressions; let your tender mercies speedily prevent us; for we are greatly impoverished.
Janganlah perhitungkan kepada kami kesalahan nenek moyang kami; kiranya rahmat-Mu segera menyongsong kami, sebab sudah sangat lemah kami.
9 Help us, O God our Saviour; for the glory of your name, O Lord, deliver us; and be merciful to 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 Lets haply they should say among the heathen, Where is their God? and let the avenging of your servant's blood that has been shed be known among the heathen before our eyes.
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 groaning of the prisoners come in before you; according to the greatness of your arm preserve the sons of the slain ones.
Biarlah sampai ke hadapan-Mu keluhan orang tahanan; sesuai dengan kebesaran lengan-Mu, biarkanlah hidup orang-orang yang ditentukan untuk mati dibunuh!
12 Repay 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 For we are your people and the sheep of your pasture; we will give you thanks for ever; we will declare your praise throughout 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.
