Mazmur 105
1 Bersyukurlah kepada TUHAN, wartakan kebesaran-Nya, ceritakanlah perbuatan-Nya kepada bangsa-bangsa.
O give thanks unto the LORD; Call upon his name; Make known his deeds among the people!
2 Nyanyikanlah pujian bagi TUHAN, beritakanlah segala karya-Nya yang menakjubkan.
Sing unto him; sing psalms unto him; Tell ye of all his wondrous works!
3 Dialah TUHAN Yang Mahasuci; bersukacitalah sebab kita milik-Nya, semua yang menyembah hendaklah bergembira.
Glory ye in his holy name; Let the hearts of them that seek the LORD rejoice!
4 Mintalah kekuatan daripada-Nya, sembahlah Dia senantiasa.
Seek the LORD, and his majesty; Seek his face continually!
5 Hai keturunan Abraham, hamba-Nya, dan keturunan Yakub, orang pilihan-Nya, ingatlah semua keajaiban yang dilakukan-Nya, jangan melupakan keputusan-keputusan-Nya.
Remember the wonders he hath wrought, His miracles and the judgments of his mouth,
Ye offspring of Abraham his servant, Ye children of Jacob his chosen!
7 TUHAN adalah Allah kita, keputusan-Nya berlaku di seluruh dunia.
Jehovah, he is our God, His judgments are over all the earth.
8 Ia selalu ingat akan perjanjian-Nya, janji-Nya berlaku selama-lamanya.
He remembereth his covenant for ever, And the promise to a thousand generations;
9 Perjanjian itu dibuat-Nya dengan Abraham, dan kemudian dengan Ishak;
The covenant which he made with Abraham, And the oath which he gave to Isaac;
10 lalu dikukuhkan dengan Yakub, menjadi perjanjian yang kekal bagi umat Israel.
Which he confirmed to Jacob for a decree, And to Israel for an everlasting covenant.
11 Katanya, "Tanah Kanaan akan Kuberikan kepadamu, menjadi milik pusakamu."
“To thee,” said he, “will I give the land of Canaan For the lot of your inheritance.”
12 Dahulu umat Allah hidup sebagai orang asing di sana jumlah mereka sedikit saja.
When they were yet few in number, Very few, and strangers in the land;
13 Mereka mengembara dari bangsa ke bangsa, pindah dari satu negeri ke negeri lainnya.
When they went from nation to nation, From one kingdom to another people,
14 Tetapi TUHAN tak membiarkan siapa pun menindas mereka; demi mereka, raja-raja diperingatkan-Nya,
He suffered no man to oppress them; Yea, he rebuked kings for their sakes.
15 "Jangan mengganggu orang-orang pilihan-Ku, jangan berbuat jahat kepada nabi-nabi-Ku!"
“Touch not,” said he, “mine anointed, And do my prophets no harm!”
16 TUHAN mendatangkan kelaparan di negeri itu, dan mengambil semua persediaan makanan.
Again, when he commanded a famine in the land, And broke the whole staff of bread,
17 Tetapi Ia menyuruh seorang mendahului mereka, Yusuf, yang telah dijual sebagai hamba.
He sent a man before them; Joseph was sold as a slave.
18 Kakinya diikat dengan belenggu, lehernya berkalung rantai besi.
His feet they hurt with fetters; He was bound in chains of iron;
19 Akhirnya terjadilah yang ia ramalkan, ia dibenarkan oleh perkataan TUHAN.
Until his prediction came to pass, And the word of the LORD proved him.
20 Lalu raja Mesir, penguasa bangsa-bangsa, membebaskan dia dari penjara.
Then the king sent, and loosed him; The ruler of nations, and set him free;
21 Ia diserahi tugas mengurus istana, dan diberi kuasa atas seluruh harta bendanya;
He made him governor of his house, And lord of all his possessions;
22 juga wewenang untuk mengatur para pegawai raja, dan memimpin kaum tua-tua.
To bind his princes at his pleasure, And teach his counsellors wisdom.
23 Lalu Yakub pergi ke Mesir dan menetap di sana sebagai orang asing.
Israel also came into Egypt, And Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham;
24 TUHAN membuat umat-Nya bertambah banyak, sehingga mereka lebih kuat dari lawannya.
Where God increased his people greatly, And made them stronger than their enemies.
25 Ia mengubah hati orang Mesir sehingga membenci umat-Nya dan memperlakukan hamba-hamba-Nya dengan curang.
He turned their hearts to hate his people, And form devices against his servants.
26 Lalu Ia mengutus Musa hamba-Nya dan Harun orang pilihan-Nya.
Then sent he Moses his servant, And Aaron, whom he had chosen.
27 Di Mesir mereka melakukan keajaiban-keajaiban, perbuatan-perbuatan besar dari TUHAN,
They showed his signs among them, And his wonders in the land of Ham.
28 dan mereka taat kepada perintah-Nya. Lalu TUHAN menjadikan negeri itu gelap gulita.
He sent darkness upon them, and made it dark; And they did not disobey his word.
29 Sungai mereka diubah-Nya menjadi darah, sehingga semua ikannya musnah.
He turned their waters into blood, And caused their fish to die.
30 Katak berkeriapan di negeri mereka, bahkan masuk ke dalam istana raja.
Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, Even in the chambers of their kings.
31 Atas perintah Allah datanglah lalat-lalat, dan nyamuk-nyamuk berkerumun di seluruh negeri.
He spake, and there came flies, And lice in all their coasts.
32 Ia mencurahkan es ganti hujan, dan mendatangkan kilat yang sambar-menyambar.
Instead of rain he gave them hail, And flaming fire in their land.
33 Ia merobohkan pohon anggur dan pohon ara, dan menumbangkan semua pohon-pohon mereka.
He smote also their vines and fig-trees, And broke the trees of their coasts.
34 Atas perintah-Nya, datanglah belalang, jumlahnya sangat banyak, tidak terbilang.
He spake, and the locusts came. Destructive locusts without number,
35 Mereka melahap semua tanaman di ladang, dan memakan habis seluruh hasil bumi.
Which ate up all the herbage in their land, And devoured the fruits of their fields.
36 Lalu dibunuh-Nya anak laki-laki yang sulung dalam setiap keluarga orang Mesir.
Then he smote all the first-born in their land, The first-fruits of all their strength.
37 Kemudian bangsa Israel dihantar-Nya keluar, mereka membawa emas dan perak; semuanya sehat dan kuat.
He led forth his people with silver and gold; Nor was there one feeble person in all their tribes.
38 Orang Mesir ditimpa rasa takut dan ngeri, jadi mereka senang waktu orang Israel pergi.
Egypt was glad when they departed, For their terror had fallen upon them.
39 Allah membentangkan awan untuk menaungi umat-Nya, dan api untuk penerang di waktu malam.
He spread out a cloud for a covering, And fire to give light by night.
40 Mereka minta, lalu didatangkan-Nya burung puyuh, mereka diberi-Nya roti dari surga sampai kenyang.
They asked, and he brought quails, And satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
41 Dibelah-Nya gunung batu, lalu terpancarlah air yang mengalir seperti sungai di padang gurun.
He opened the rock, and the waters gushed forth, And ran in the dry places like a river.
42 Sebab TUHAN ingat akan janji-Nya kepada Abraham, hamba-Nya.
For he remembered his holy promise, Which he had made to Abraham his servant;
43 Maka dihantar-Nya umat-Nya dengan gembira, orang-orang pilihan-Nya dengan sorak-sorai.
And he led forth his people with joy, And his chosen with gladness.
44 Tanah bangsa-bangsa diberikan-Nya kepada mereka, ladang-ladang mereka dijadikan milik umat-Nya,
He gave to them the lands of the nations, And they inherited the labor of the peoples;
45 supaya umat-Nya itu taat kepada hukum-hukum-Nya dan mengikuti perintah-perintah-Nya. Pujilah TUHAN! Pujilah TUHAN!
That they might observe his statutes, And obey his laws. Praise ye the LORD!
