Mazmur 105
1 Bersyukurlah kepada TUHAN, wartakan kebesaran-Nya, ceritakanlah perbuatan-Nya kepada bangsa-bangsa.
Give thanks to the Lord, call on his name: make known his deeds among the nations.
2 Nyanyikanlah pujian bagi TUHAN, beritakanlah segala karya-Nya yang menakjubkan.
Sing to him, make music to him, tell of all his wondrous works.
3 Dialah TUHAN Yang Mahasuci; bersukacitalah sebab kita milik-Nya, semua yang menyembah hendaklah bergembira.
Make your boast in his holy name, be glad at heart, you who seek the Lord.
4 Mintalah kekuatan daripada-Nya, sembahlah Dia senantiasa.
Seek after the Lord and his strength, seek his face evermore.
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 did, his portents, the judgments he uttered,
you who are offspring of Abraham, his servant, the children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
7 TUHAN adalah Allah kita, keputusan-Nya berlaku di seluruh dunia.
He is the Lord our God: in all the earth are his judgments.
8 Ia selalu ingat akan perjanjian-Nya, janji-Nya berlaku selama-lamanya.
He remembers forever his covenant, his promise for a thousand generations
9 Perjanjian itu dibuat-Nya dengan Abraham, dan kemudian dengan Ishak;
The covenant he made with Abraham, the oath he swore to Isaac,
10 lalu dikukuhkan dengan Yakub, menjadi perjanjian yang kekal bagi umat Israel.
and confirmed as a statute to Jacob, a pact everlasting to Israel
11 Katanya, "Tanah Kanaan akan Kuberikan kepadamu, menjadi milik pusakamu."
to give them the land of Canaan as the lot which they should inherit.
12 Dahulu umat Allah hidup sebagai orang asing di sana jumlah mereka sedikit saja.
And when they were very few, few and but pilgrims therein,
13 Mereka mengembara dari bangsa ke bangsa, pindah dari satu negeri ke negeri lainnya.
wandering from nation to nation, journeying from people to people,
14 Tetapi TUHAN tak membiarkan siapa pun menindas mereka; demi mereka, raja-raja diperingatkan-Nya,
he allowed no one to oppress them, even punishing kings for their sakes.
15 "Jangan mengganggu orang-orang pilihan-Ku, jangan berbuat jahat kepada nabi-nabi-Ku!"
He forbade them to touch his anointed, or do any hurt to his prophets.
16 TUHAN mendatangkan kelaparan di negeri itu, dan mengambil semua persediaan makanan.
When he called down famine on the land, and cut off the bread which sustained them,
17 Tetapi Ia menyuruh seorang mendahului mereka, Yusuf, yang telah dijual sebagai hamba.
he sent before them a man, Joseph, who was sold as a slave.
18 Kakinya diikat dengan belenggu, lehernya berkalung rantai besi.
His feet were galled with fetters, he was laid in chains of iron,
19 Akhirnya terjadilah yang ia ramalkan, ia dibenarkan oleh perkataan TUHAN.
till the time that his word came to pass, the word of the Lord that had tried him.
20 Lalu raja Mesir, penguasa bangsa-bangsa, membebaskan dia dari penjara.
The king sent and freed him, the ruler of nations released him.
21 Ia diserahi tugas mengurus istana, dan diberi kuasa atas seluruh harta bendanya;
He made him lord of his household, and ruler of all his possessions,
22 juga wewenang untuk mengatur para pegawai raja, dan memimpin kaum tua-tua.
to admonish his princes at will and instruct his elders in wisdom.
23 Lalu Yakub pergi ke Mesir dan menetap di sana sebagai orang asing.
Thus Israel came into Egypt, Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
24 TUHAN membuat umat-Nya bertambah banyak, sehingga mereka lebih kuat dari lawannya.
His people he made very fruitful, and mightier than their foes.
25 Ia mengubah hati orang Mesir sehingga membenci umat-Nya dan memperlakukan hamba-hamba-Nya dengan curang.
He inspired them to hate his people, and to deal with his servants craftily.
26 Lalu Ia mengutus Musa hamba-Nya dan Harun orang pilihan-Nya.
He sent his servant Moses, and Aaron whom he had chosen,
27 Di Mesir mereka melakukan keajaiban-keajaiban, perbuatan-perbuatan besar dari TUHAN,
portents he wrought in Egypt, and signs in the land of Ham.
28 dan mereka taat kepada perintah-Nya. Lalu TUHAN menjadikan negeri itu gelap gulita.
Darkness he sent, and it fell: yet they gave no heed to his word.
29 Sungai mereka diubah-Nya menjadi darah, sehingga semua ikannya musnah.
He turned their waters into blood, thus causing their fish to die.
30 Katak berkeriapan di negeri mereka, bahkan masuk ke dalam istana raja.
Their land was alive with frogs, swarming even in the royal chambers.
31 Atas perintah Allah datanglah lalat-lalat, dan nyamuk-nyamuk berkerumun di seluruh negeri.
At his command came flies, and lice in all their borders.
32 Ia mencurahkan es ganti hujan, dan mendatangkan kilat yang sambar-menyambar.
He gave them hail for rain and fire that flashed through the land,
33 Ia merobohkan pohon anggur dan pohon ara, dan menumbangkan semua pohon-pohon mereka.
smiting their vines and figs, breaking the trees of their border.
34 Atas perintah-Nya, datanglah belalang, jumlahnya sangat banyak, tidak terbilang.
At his command came locusts, young locusts beyond all counting,
35 Mereka melahap semua tanaman di ladang, dan memakan habis seluruh hasil bumi.
which ate every herb in the land, ate up, too, the fruit of their ground.
36 Lalu dibunuh-Nya anak laki-laki yang sulung dalam setiap keluarga orang Mesir.
He struck down in their land all the firstborn, the firstlings of all their strength
37 Kemudian bangsa Israel dihantar-Nya keluar, mereka membawa emas dan perak; semuanya sehat dan kuat.
Then forth he led Israel with silver and gold, and among his tribes no one was weary.
38 Orang Mesir ditimpa rasa takut dan ngeri, jadi mereka senang waktu orang Israel pergi.
Egypt was glad when they left, for 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 to screen them, and fire to give light in the night.
40 Mereka minta, lalu didatangkan-Nya burung puyuh, mereka diberi-Nya roti dari surga sampai kenyang.
He sent quails at their entreaty, and heavenly bread in abundance.
41 Dibelah-Nya gunung batu, lalu terpancarlah air yang mengalir seperti sungai di padang gurun.
He opened the rock; waters gushed: in the desert they ran like a river.
42 Sebab TUHAN ingat akan janji-Nya kepada Abraham, hamba-Nya.
For he remembered his holy promise to Abraham his servant.
43 Maka dihantar-Nya umat-Nya dengan gembira, orang-orang pilihan-Nya dengan sorak-sorai.
So he led out his people with joy, his elect with a ringing cry.
44 Tanah bangsa-bangsa diberikan-Nya kepada mereka, ladang-ladang mereka dijadikan milik umat-Nya,
And he gave them the lands of the nations, the fruit of their toil for possession,
45 supaya umat-Nya itu taat kepada hukum-hukum-Nya dan mengikuti perintah-perintah-Nya. Pujilah TUHAN! Pujilah TUHAN!
that so they might keep his statutes, and be of his laws observant. Hallelujah.
