Psalms 84
1 Lord, you who are the Commander of the armies of angels, your temple is very beautiful!
Untuk pemimpin biduan. Menurut lagu: Gitit. Mazmur bani Korah. Betapa disenangi tempat kediaman-Mu, ya TUHAN semesta alam!
2 I [SYN] would like to be there; Yahweh, I desire that very much [DOU]. With all of my inner being I sing joyfully to you, the all-powerful God.
Jiwaku hancur karena merindukan pelataran-pelataran TUHAN; hatiku dan dagingku bersorak-sorai kepada Allah yang hidup.
3 Even sparrows and swallows have built nests [near your temple, where you protect them] [DOU]; they take care of their young babies near the altars [where people offer sacrifices to] you, who are the commander of the armies of heaven, and my king and my God.
Bahkan burung pipit telah mendapat sebuah rumah, dan burung layang-layang sebuah sarang, tempat menaruh anak-anaknya, pada mezbah-mezbah-Mu, ya TUHAN semesta alam, ya Rajaku dan Allahku!
4 (Happy are/You are pleased with) those who (live/continually worship) in your temple, constantly singing to praise you.
Berbahagialah orang-orang yang diam di rumah-Mu, yang terus-menerus memuji-muji Engkau. (Sela)
5 Happy are those who [know that] you are the one who causes them to be strong, those who strongly desire to (make the trip/go) to Zion [Hill].
Berbahagialah manusia yang kekuatannya di dalam Engkau, yang berhasrat mengadakan ziarah!
6 While they travel through the [dry] Baca Valley, [you cause] it to become a place where there are springs of water, where the rains (in the autumn/before the cold season) fill the valley with pools of water.
Apabila melintasi lembah Baka, mereka membuatnya menjadi tempat yang bermata air; bahkan hujan pada awal musim menyelubunginya dengan berkat.
7 [As a result, those who travel through there] become stronger/refreshed [knowing that] they will appear in your presence (on Zion [Hill]/in Jerusalem).
Mereka berjalan makin lama makin kuat, hendak menghadap Allah di Sion.
8 Yahweh, commander of the armies of heaven, listen to my prayer; God, who [is worshiped by us (descendants of] Jacob/Israeli people), hear [IDM] what I am saying!
Ya TUHAN, Allah semesta alam, dengarkanlah doaku, pasanglah telinga, ya Allah Yakub. (Sela)
9 God, be kind to [IDM] our king, the one who protects us [MTY], the one whom you have chosen [MTY] [to rule us].
Lihatlah perisai kami, ya Allah, pandanglah wajah orang yang Kauurapi!
10 [For me], spending one day in your temple is better than spending 1,000 days somewhere else; [standing] at the entrance to your temple, [ready to go inside], is better than living in the tents/homes where wicked [people live].
Sebab lebih baik satu hari di pelataran-Mu dari pada seribu hari di tempat lain; lebih baik berdiri di ambang pintu rumah Allahku dari pada diam di kemah-kemah orang fasik.
11 Yahweh our God is [like] the sun [that shines on us] and [like] a shield [that protects us] [MET]; he is kind to [us] and honors [us]. Yahweh does not refuse to give any good thing/blessing to those who do what is right.
Sebab TUHAN Allah adalah matahari dan perisai; kasih dan kemuliaan Ia berikan; Ia tidak menahan kebaikan dari orang yang hidup tidak bercela.
12 Yahweh, commander of the armies of heaven, (happy are/you are pleased with) those who trust in you!
Ya TUHAN semesta alam, berbahagialah manusia yang percaya kepada-Mu!
