Psalms 83
1 God, do not continue to be silent! Do not be quiet and say nothing,
Mazmur Asaf: suatu nyanyian. Ya Allah, janganlah Engkau bungkam, janganlah berdiam diri dan janganlah berpangku tangan, ya Allah!
2 because your enemies are rioting against you; those who hate you are rebelling against you!
Sebab sesungguhnya musuh-musuh-Mu ribut, orang-orang yang membenci Engkau meninggikan kepala.
3 They are secretly planning to do things to harm [us], your people; they are (conspiring together against/planning how to defeat) the people whom you protect.
Mereka mengadakan permufakatan licik melawan umat-Mu, dan mereka berunding untuk melawan orang-orang yang Kaulindungi.
4 They say, “Come, we must destroy their nation, with the result that no one will remember that Israel ever existed!”
Kata mereka: "Marilah kita lenyapkan mereka sebagai bangsa, sehingga nama Israel tidak diingat lagi!"
5 They have agreed on [what they want to do to destroy Israel], and they have formed an alliance against you.
Sungguh, mereka telah berunding dengan satu hati, mereka telah mengadakan perjanjian melawan Engkau:
6 [The people who have done that are] the people of Edom [region], the descendants of Ishmael [who live on the east side of the Jordan River], the Moab [people-group], the descendants of Hagar [who also live on the east side of the Jordan River],
Penghuni kemah-kemah Edom dan orang Ismael, Moab dan orang Hagar,
7 Gebal [people-group], the Ammon [people-group], the Amalek [people-group], the Philistia [people-group], and the people of Tyre [city].
Gebal dan Amon dan Amalek, Filistea beserta penduduk Tirus,
8 [The people of] have joined them; they are strong allies of the [Moab and Ammon people-groups, who are] descendants of [Abraham’s nephew] Lot.
juga Asyur telah bergabung dengan mereka, menjadi kaki tangan bani Lot. (Sela)
9 [God], do to those people things like you did to the Midian [people-group], like [you did] to Sisera and Jabin at Kishon River.
Perlakukanlah mereka seperti Midian, seperti Sisera, seperti Yabin dekat sungai Kison,
10 You destroyed them at Endor [town], and their corpses [lay on] the ground and decayed.
yang sudah dipunahkan di En-Dor, menjadi pupuk bagi tanah.
11 Do to them things like you did to [Kings] Oreb and Zeeb; defeat their leaders like you defeated Zebah and Zalmunna,
Buatlah para pemuka mereka seperti Oreb dan Zeeb, seperti Zebah dan Salmuna semua pemimpin mereka,
12 who said, “We will take for ourselves the land that [the Israelis say] belongs to God!”
yang berkata: "Marilah kita menduduki tempat-tempat kediaman Allah!"
13 My God, cause them [to disappear quickly] like whirling dust, like chaff that the wind blows away!
Ya Allahku, buatlah mereka seperti dedak yang beterbangan, seperti jerami yang ditiup angin!
14 Like a fire completely burns a forest and like flames burn in the mountains,
Seperti api yang membakar hutan, dan seperti nyala api yang menghanguskan gunung-gunung,
15 expel them by sending storms; cause them to be terrified by your big storms/hurricanes!
kejarlah mereka dengan badai-Mu, dan kejutkanlah mereka dengan puting beliung-Mu;
16 Cause them [SYN] to be very ashamed in order that they will admit that you are very powerful.
penuhilah muka mereka dengan kehinaan, supaya mereka mencari nama-Mu, ya TUHAN!
17 Cause them to be forever disgraced [because of being defeated], and cause them to die while they are still disgraced.
Biarlah mereka mendapat malu dan terkejut selama-lamanya; biarlah mereka tersipu-sipu dan binasa,
18 Cause them to know that you, whose name is Yahweh, are the supreme ruler over everything on the earth.
supaya mereka tahu bahwa Engkau sajalah yang bernama TUHAN, Yang Mahatinggi atas seluruh bumi.
