< Psalms 83 >

1 A Song, — A Psalm of Asaph. O God, let there be no silence to Thee, Be not silent, nor be quiet, O God.
Mazmur Asaf: sebuah nyanyian. Ya Allah, janganlah membisu, jangan berpangku tangan dan tinggal diam.
2 For, lo, Thine enemies do roar, And those hating Thee have lifted up the head,
Lihatlah, musuh-Mu bergolak, orang-orang yang membenci Engkau berontak.
3 Against Thy people they take crafty counsel, And consult against Thy hidden ones.
Mereka membuat rencana licik melawan umat-Mu; dan berunding melawan orang-orang yang Kaulindungi.
4 They have said, 'Come, And we cut them off from [being] a nation, And the name of Israel is not remembered any more.'
Kata mereka, "Mari kita hancurkan bangsa Israel, supaya nama mereka tidak diingat lagi."
5 For they consulted in heart together, Against Thee a covenant they make,
Bangsa-bangsa telah bersekutu, dan bermupakat melawan Engkau:
6 Tents of Edom, and Ishmaelites, Moab, and the Hagarenes,
bangsa Edom dan Ismael, orang-orang Moab dan Hagar;
7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek, Philistia with inhabitants of Tyre,
bangsa Gebal, Amon dan Amalek, bangsa Filistea serta penduduk Tirus.
8 Asshur also is joined with them, They have been an arm to sons of Lot. (Selah)
Juga Asyur telah bergabung dengan mereka, menjadi kaki tangan keturunan Lot.
9 Do to them as [to] Midian, As [to] Sisera, as [to] Jabin, at the stream Kishon.
Perlakukanlah mereka seperti orang Midian, seperti Sisera dan Yabin di Sungai Kison,
10 They were destroyed at Endor, They were dung for the ground!
yang sudah dibinasakan di Endor, dan menjadi pupuk untuk tanah.
11 Make their nobles as Oreb and as Zeeb, And as Zebah and Zalmunna all their princes,
Perlakukanlah pemimpin mereka seperti Oreb dan Zeeb, tundukkanlah penguasa mereka seperti Zebah dan Salmuna,
12 Who have said, 'Let us occupy for ourselves The comely places of God.'
karena mereka telah berkata, "Mari kita duduki tanah kediaman Allah."
13 O my God, make them as a rolling thing, As stubble before wind.
Ya Allah, hamburkanlah mereka seperti debu, seperti jerami yang ditiup angin.
14 As a fire doth burn a forest, And as a flame setteth hills on fire,
Seperti api yang membakar hutan, nyala api yang menghanguskan gunung-gunung.
15 So dost Thou pursue them with Thy whirlwind, And with Thy hurricane troublest them.
Kejarlah mereka dengan badai-Mu, kejutkan mereka dengan topan-Mu.
16 Fill their faces [with] shame, And they seek Thy name, O Jehovah.
Ya TUHAN, biarlah mereka dihina, supaya mereka mengakui kekuasaan-Mu.
17 They are ashamed and troubled for ever, Yea, they are confounded and lost.
Biarlah mereka selamanya dipermalukan dan ketakutan, biarlah mereka mati dalam kehinaan.
18 And they know that Thou — (Thy name [is] Jehovah — by Thyself, ) [Art] the Most High over all the earth!
Semoga mereka tahu hanya Engkaulah Yang Mahatinggi, TUHAN, yang menguasai seluruh bumi.
