2 Samuel 22
1 After Yahweh had rescued David from Saul and his other enemies, David sang a song to Yahweh.
Inilah lagu yang dinyanyikan Daud untuk memuji TUHAN sesudah dia diselamatkan dari tangan Saul dan musuh-musuhnya yang lain:
2 [This is what] he sang: Yahweh, you are like a [huge overhanging] rock [under which I can hide] [MET]; you are like my fortress, and you rescue me.
Bagaikan benteng yang kokoh, Engkau, ya TUHAN, melindungi aku dari musuh-musuhku!
3 Yahweh, you protect me; you are like a shield; you are the powerful one [MET] who saves me; you are like a place where I (find refuge/am safe). You save me from those who act violently toward me.
Ya Allahku, Engkau seperti gunung batu di mana aku dapat berlindung. Lebih baik daripada perisai dalam pertempuran, Engkau melindungi dan menyelamatkan aku. Ketika musuh-musuhku mengancam aku dengan segala tindakan kejam, Engkau, ya Penyelamatku, bagaikan tempat persembunyian di padang belantara ke mana aku dapat melarikan diri dan berlindung.
4 I call out to you, Yahweh; you deserve to be praised, and you rescue me from my enemies.
Oh TUHAN, Engkau layak menerima pujian! Ketika aku berseru kepada-Mu, Engkau menyelamatkanku dari musuh-musuhku.
5 “almost died [PRS]; it was like [MET] a huge wave had crashed over me, and almost destroyed me like a flood.
Ketika aku merasa seperti akan tenggelam dalam ombak-ombak laut,
6 I thought that I would die; it was as though death wrapped ropes around me; it was as though I was in a trap where I would surely die. [PRS, MET] (Sheol h7585)
seperti tertangkap dan terikat untuk dibuang ke dalam Syeol, (Sheol h7585)
7 But when I was (very distressed/in great trouble), I called out to you, Yahweh; I cried out to you, my God. And from your temple you heard me; you listened when I called to you to help me.
aku berseru kepada-Mu, ya TUHAN! Ya, dalam kesesakan hebat, ketika aku berseru kepada-Mu, ya Allahku, dari rumah-Mu Engkau mendengarkan aku. Doaku masih Engkau dengar.
8 “Then [it was as though] the earth quaked and shook; [it was as though] the foundations that ([held up/supported]) the sky trembled, because you were angry.
Maka bangkitlah murka-Mu, sehingga bumi bergoncang dan tiang-tiang penopang langit pun gemetar.
9 [It was as though] smoke poured out of your nostrils and burning coals and fire that burns everything came out of your mouth.
Hembusan asap keluar dari hidung-Mu dan semburan bara api dari mulut-Mu.
10 You tore open the sky and came down; there was a thick dark [cloud] under your feet.
Engkau membuka langit dan melangkah turun untuk menyelamatkanku. Engkau berpijak di atas awan gelap.
11 You rode [through the sky] on a winged creature; the wind enabled you to travel [swiftly] [MET], like a bird.
Begitu cepatnya Engkau datang, seolah dibawa terbang di atas sayap malaikat penjaga, lebih cepat daripada burung.
12 The darkness surrounded you, like a blanket; thick clouds that were full of water also surrounded you.
Engkau menyelubungi diri-Mu dengan kegelapan dan tak terlihat saat datang karena dikelilingi awan tebal.
13 Out of the lightning in front of you fire from burning coals flamed.
Lalu dari sekeliling-Mu terpancar kilat dan api.
14 Then, Yahweh, you spoke like thunder from the sky; it was your voice, God, you who are greater than all other gods, that was heard.
Suara-Mu, ya TUHAN yang Mahatinggi, bergemuruh seperti guntur dari langit.
15 When you sent flashes of lightning, [it was as though] [MET] you shot your arrows and scattered your enemies.
Saat Engkau menyerukan teriakan perang, hembusan nafas-Mu menjadi angin kencang yang menyingkapkan air laut sampai dasarnya dan fondasi bumi pun terlihat. Bagaikan pemanah, Engkau menghujani musuh-musuhku dengan tembakan kilat hingga mereka lari berhamburan.
16 Then the bottom of the ocean was uncovered; the foundations of the world could be seen when you rebuked [your enemies] with a snort from your nostrils.
17 “Yahweh, you reached down from heaven and lifted me up; you pulled me up from the deep water.
Dari atas, Engkau mengulurkan tangan-Mu dan mengangkat aku keluar dari lautan bahaya.
18 You rescued me from my strong enemies, from those who hated me; [I could not defeat them because] they were very strong.
Terima kasih, ya TUHAN, karena Engkau melihat musuh-musuhku terlalu kuat bagiku, maka Engkau menyelamatkan aku dari semua orang yang membenciku.
19 They attacked me when I was experiencing troubles/difficulties, but Yahweh, you protected me.
Mereka menyerangku pada saat aku lemah dan susah, tetapi Engkaulah yang menopang aku.
20 You brought me to a place where I was safe; you rescued me because you were pleased with me.
Engkau membawa aku keluar ke tempat yang aman karena aku berkenan di mata-Mu.
21 “Yahweh, you rewarded me because I do what is right; you did good things for me because I (was innocent/had not done things that are wrong).
Ya, TUHAN, Engkau sudah menyelamatkanku sebab aku hidup benar di hadapan-Mu. Aku diberkati karena tidak bersalah
22 Yahweh, I have obeyed your laws; I have not turned away from you, my God.
dan aku menaati perintah-perintah-Mu. Aku tidak meninggalkan-Mu untuk melakukan kejahatan.
23 All of your regulations were in my mind, and I did not turn away from [obeying] all your statutes.
Aku senantiasa memperhatikan semua peraturan-Mu dan tidak melanggar ketetapan-ketetapan-Mu.
24 You know that I have not done anything that is evil; I have kept myself from doing things for which I should be punished.
Engkau tahu bahwa aku benar-benar menjaga diriku agar tidak bercela karena dosa.
25 So you have rewarded me in return for my doing what is right, because [you know that] I (am innocent of doing/have not done) wrong things.
Itu sebabnya Engkau, ya TUHAN, memberkatiku, karena Engkau melihat aku hidup dengan tulus hati di hadapan-Mu.
26 “Yahweh, you are faithful/loyal to those who always trust in you; you always do what is good to those whose behavior is always good.
Engkau setia kepada orang yang setia kepada-Mu. Engkau baik kepada orang yang baik.
27 You act sincerely toward those whose inner beings are pure, but you are hostile to those who are perverse/wicked.
Engkau menunjukkan ketulusan hati-Mu kepada orang yang tulus hati. Tetapi Engkau membalas orang yang menipu sesuai perbuatan mereka!
28 You rescue those who are humble, but you watch [MTY] those who are proud and humiliate them.
Engkau menyelamatkan orang yang rendah hati. Tetapi orang yang sombong akan Engkau rendahkan pada waktu yang tepat.
29 Yahweh, you are [like] [MET] a lamp that causes it to become light when I am in the dark.
Ya TUHAN, Engkau bagaikan cahaya yang menerangi aku dalam kegelapan.
30 With your strength/help I can run through a line of enemy soldiers and I can climb over the wall [that surrounds their city].
Dengan pertolongan-Mu aku sanggup menghadapi gerombolan musuh. Ketika Engkau menguatkan aku, ya Allahku, aku bisa melompati benteng kota musuh-musuhku!
31 “My God whom I worship, everything that you do is perfect; you always do what you promise that you will do. You are like a shield [MET] to all those who request you to protect them.
Segala sesuatu yang Engkau lakukan itu sempurna dan setiap perkataan-Mu terbukti benar. Engkau seperti perisai bagi semua yang berlindung pada-Mu.
32 Yahweh, you are [RHQ] the only one who is God; only you are like a huge rock [MET] [under which we are protected/safe].
Sebab tidak ada dewa yang sebanding dengan Engkau, ya TUHAN. Hanya Engkau, ya Allah kami, yang bagaikan gunung batu bagi umat-Mu.
33 God, you [whom I worship] are a strong refuge for me; you keep me safe on the roads that I [walk on].
Ya, Engkau adalah Pelindung yang kuat bagiku. Engkau menjaga jalan hidupku selalu aman.
34 [When I walk] in the mountains, you enable me to walk safely, without stumbling [MET] like a deer runs.
Dan kepadaku Engkau memberikan kemampuan seperti rusa supaya aku dapat berlari di gunung tanpa tersandung.
35 You teach me [how to fight] in a battle in order that I can shoot arrows well from a very strong bow.
Engkau yang melatih tubuhku untuk bertempur hingga tanganku kuat membidikkan busur yang berat.
36 [It is as though] [MET] you have given me a shield by which you have saved/rescued me, and you have answered my prayers and caused me to become famous/great.
Aku dapat menang dalam pertempuran hanya karena Engkau melindungiku. Aku memperoleh kedudukan tinggi hanya karena Engkau membungkuk untuk mengangkatku.
37 You have not allowed [my enemies] to capture me [IDM], and I have not fallen down [during battles].
Aku tidak tersandung jatuh karena Engkau melebarkan jalan bagiku.
38 “pursued my enemies and defeated them; I did not stop [fighting them] until they were all killed.
Aku sudah mengejar dan membantai semua musuhku. Aku tidak berhenti mengejar mereka sebelum semuanya dimusnahkan.
39 I struck them down; I stabbed them with my sword; they fell down at my feet and did not stand up again.
Aku menghancurkan dan menghabisi mereka hingga tergeletak di kakiku dan tak bisa bangkit.
40 You have given me strength for fighting battles and caused those who were attacking me to fall down, and I trampled on them.
Engkau sudah memperlengkapi aku dengan kekuatan untuk bertempur. Engkau membuat musuh-musuhku bertekuk lutut di kakiku.
41 You caused my enemies to turn and run away from me; I destroyed those who hated me.
Engkaulah yang membuat mereka berbalik dan melarikan diri, agar aku dapat melenyapkan semua yang membenciku.
42 They (looked for/wanted) someone to rescue them, but no one did. They cried out to you, Yahweh, [for help, ] but you did not answer them.
Mereka berteriak minta tolong kepada dewa-dewa, tetapi tidak ada yang menyelamatkan mereka. Bahkan mereka berseru kepada-Mu, ya TUHAN, tetapi Engkau tidak menjawab mereka.
43 I crushed them, and as a result they became like [SIM] tiny particles of dust. I trampled them, and they became like [SIM] mud in the streets.
Aku memukul mereka sampai hancur seperti debu tanah dan menginjak-injak mereka seperti lumpur di jalan.
44 “You rescued me from those who tried to rebel [against me], and you appointed me to rule many nations; people whom I did not know previously are now (under my authority/my slaves).
Engkau sudah meluputkan aku dari perlawanan rakyatku sendiri dan mengangkat aku sebagai penguasa atas bangsa-bangsa. Orang-orang yang tidak aku kenal melayaniku.
45 Foreigners humbly bowed down in front of me; as soon as they heard about me, they obeyed me.
Baru saja mereka mendengar tentang kuasaku, mereka langsung bersujud dan tunduk kepadaku.
46 They became afraid, and they came to me, trembling, from the places where they were hiding.
Dengan gemetar mereka keluar dari kota benteng mereka dan menyerahkan diri menjadi budak-budakku.
47 “Yahweh, you are alive! I praise you! You are like [MET] a [huge overhanging] rock under which I am safe/protected! You are the one who rescues me [MET]. Everyone should exalt/honor/praise you.
Oh TUHAN, Engkau hidup! Terpujilah Engkau yang bagaikan gunung batu bagiku! Biarlah Engkau, ya Pelindung dan Penyelamatku, senantiasa ditinggikan.
48 You enable me to conquer my enemies; you cause people of [other] nations to be (under my authority/my slaves).
Engkau selalu menyelamatkan aku dari musuh-musuhku dan membalas mereka yang hendak melakukan kejahatan dan kekerasan kepadaku. Engkau bahkan membuat bangsa-bangsa tunduk kepadaku.
49 You delivered me from my enemies; you caused me to be honored more than they were; you rescued me from men who [always] acted violently.
50 Because of all that, I exalt you among many people-groups and I sing to praise you.
Maka di hadapan orang dari segala bangsa, aku akan bersyukur kepada-Mu, ya TUHAN! Aku akan senantiasa menyanyikan puji-pujian bagi-Mu!
51 You enable me, whom you appointed to be king, to powerfully conquer [my enemies]; you faithfully love me, David, and you will love my descendants forever.
Terima kasih, TUHAN, karena Engkau memberikan kemenangan besar kepada raja pilihan-Mu dan tetap menunjukkan kasih serta kesetiaan-Mu kepadaku dan keturunanku untuk selama-lamanya!
