< Psalms 135 >

1 Praise Yahweh! You who (do work for/serve) Yahweh, praise him!
Haleluya! Pujilah nama TUHAN, pujilah, hai hamba-hamba TUHAN,
2 You who stand in the temple of Yahweh our God and in the surrounding courtyard, praise him [MTY]!
hai orang-orang yang datang melayani di rumah TUHAN, di pelataran rumah Allah kita!
3 Praise Yahweh, because he does good things [for us]; sing to him [MTY], because he is kind [to us].
Pujilah TUHAN, sebab TUHAN itu baik, bermazmurlah bagi nama-Nya, sebab nama itu indah!
4 He has chosen [us, the descendants of] Jacob; he has chosen [us] Israelis to belong to him [DOU].
Sebab TUHAN telah memilih Yakub bagi-Nya, Israel menjadi milik kesayangan-Nya.
5 I know that Yahweh is great; he is greater than all the gods.
Sesungguhnya aku tahu, bahwa TUHAN itu maha besar dan Tuhan kita itu melebihi segala allah.
6 Yahweh does whatever he desires to do, in heaven and on the earth and in the seas/oceans, [down] to the bottom of the seas.
TUHAN melakukan apa yang dikehendaki-Nya, di langit dan di bumi, di laut dan di segenap samudera raya;
7 He is the one who causes clouds to appear from very distant places on the earth; he sends lightning with the rain, and he brings the winds from the places where he stores them.
Ia menaikkan kabut dari ujung bumi, Ia membuat kilat mengikuti hujan, Ia mengeluarkan angin dari dalam perbendaharaan-Nya.
8 He is the one who killed [all] the firstborn [males] in Egypt, the firstborn of people and of animals.
Dialah yang memukul mati anak-anak sulung Mesir, baik manusia maupun hewan,
9 There he performed many kinds of miracles [DOU] to punish the king and all his officials.
dan mendatangkan tanda-tanda dan mujizat-mujizat ke tengah-tengahmu, hai Mesir, menentang Firaun dan menentang semua pegawainya.
10 He destroyed many nations and the powerful kings [who ruled them]:
Dialah yang memukul kalah banyak bangsa, dan membunuh raja-raja yang kuat:
11 Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group, and Og, the king of Bashan [region], and all the other kings in Canaan [land].
Sihon, raja orang Amori, dan Og, raja negeri Basan, dan segala kerajaan Kanaan,
12 Then he gave their land to [us] Israeli people to belong to us [forever].
dan memberikan tanah mereka sebagai milik pusaka, milik pusaka kepada Israel, umat-Nya.
13 Yahweh your name will endure forever, and people who are not yet born will remember the great things [that you have done].
Ya TUHAN, nama-Mu adalah untuk selama-lamanya; ya TUHAN, Engkau diingat turun-temurun.
14 Yahweh, [you] declare that we your people (are innocent/have not done things that are wrong), and you are merciful to us.
Sebab TUHAN akan memberi keadilan kepada umat-Nya, dan akan sayang kepada hamba-hamba-Nya.
15 But the idols that the [other] people-groups [worship] are only [statues made of] silver and gold, things that humans have made.
Berhala bangsa-bangsa adalah perak dan emas, buatan tangan manusia,
16 Their idols have mouths, but they cannot say [anything]; they have eyes, but they cannot see [anything].
mempunyai mulut, tetapi tidak dapat berkata-kata, mempunyai mata, tetapi tidak dapat melihat,
17 They have ears, but they cannot hear [anything], and they are not [even able to] breathe.
mempunyai telinga, tetapi tidak dapat mendengar, juga nafas tidak ada dalam mulut mereka.
18 The people who make those idols are as [powerless as] those idols, and those who trust in those idols [can accomplish no more than] their idols can!
Seperti itulah jadinya orang-orang yang membuatnya, semua orang yang percaya kepadanya.
19 [My fellow] Israelis, praise Yahweh! You [priests] who are descended from Aaron, praise Yahweh!
Hai kaum Israel, pujilah TUHAN! Hai kaum Harun, pujilah TUHAN!
20 You [men] who are descended from Levi, [you who assist the priests], praise Yahweh! [All] you who revere Yahweh, praise him!
Hai kaum Lewi, pujilah TUHAN! Hai orang-orang yang takut akan TUHAN, pujilah TUHAN!
21 Praise Yahweh in [the temple on] Zion [Hill] in Jerusalem, where he lives! Praise Yahweh!
Terpujilah TUHAN dari Sion, Dia yang diam di Yerusalem! Haleluya!
