Psalms 83
1 [A song. A Psalm by Asaph.] God, do not be silent. Do not be deaf, and do not be inactive, God.
Mazmur Asaf: suatu nyanyian. Ya Allah, janganlah Engkau bungkam, janganlah berdiam diri dan janganlah berpangku tangan, ya Allah!
2 For, look, your enemies make an uproar. Those who hate you are hostile.
Sebab sesungguhnya musuh-musuh-Mu ribut, orang-orang yang membenci Engkau meninggikan kepala.
3 They devise crafty plans against your people, and conspire together against your treasured ones.
Mereka mengadakan permufakatan licik melawan umat-Mu, dan mereka berunding untuk melawan orang-orang yang Kaulindungi.
4 They say, "Come, and let us annihilate them as a nation; let the name of Israel may be remembered no more."
Kata mereka: "Marilah kita lenyapkan mereka sebagai bangsa, sehingga nama Israel tidak diingat lagi!"
5 For they plot a unified strategy; they make a covenant against you;
Sungguh, mereka telah berunding dengan satu hati, mereka telah mengadakan perjanjian melawan Engkau:
6 the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab, and the Hagrites,
Penghuni kemah-kemah Edom dan orang Ismael, Moab dan orang Hagar,
7 Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek, Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre.
Gebal dan Amon dan Amalek, Filistea beserta penduduk Tirus,
8 Assyria too is joined with them; they lend support to the descendants of Lot. (Selah)
juga Asyur telah bergabung dengan mereka, menjadi kaki tangan bani Lot. (Sela)
9 Do to them as you did to Midian, as to Sisera, as to Jabin at the Kishon River,
Perlakukanlah mereka seperti Midian, seperti Sisera, seperti Yabin dekat sungai Kison,
10 who were destroyed at Endor, who became manure for the ground.
yang sudah dipunahkan di En-Dor, menjadi pupuk bagi tanah.
11 Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
Buatlah para pemuka mereka seperti Oreb dan Zeeb, seperti Zebah dan Salmuna semua pemimpin mereka,
12 who said, "Let us take possession for ourselves the pastures of God."
yang berkata: "Marilah kita menduduki tempat-tempat kediaman Allah!"
13 My God, make them like tumbleweed; like dead weeds blown by the wind.
Ya Allahku, buatlah mereka seperti dedak yang beterbangan, seperti jerami yang ditiup angin!
14 Like a fire that consumes a forest, and like the flames that consume the mountains,
Seperti api yang membakar hutan, dan seperti nyala api yang menghanguskan gunung-gunung,
15 so pursue them with your gale winds, and terrify them with your storm.
kejarlah mereka dengan badai-Mu, dan kejutkanlah mereka dengan puting beliung-Mu;
16 Cover their faces with shame, so that they might seek your name, LORD.
penuhilah muka mereka dengan kehinaan, supaya mereka mencari nama-Mu, ya TUHAN!
17 Let them be put to shame and terrified forever; let them perish in disgrace,
Biarlah mereka mendapat malu dan terkejut selama-lamanya; biarlah mereka tersipu-sipu dan binasa,
18 that they will know that you alone, whose name is the LORD, are the Most High over all the earth.
supaya mereka tahu bahwa Engkau sajalah yang bernama TUHAN, Yang Mahatinggi atas seluruh bumi.
