Mazmur 132
1 Nyanyian ziarah. Ya TUHAN, ingatlah kepada Daud, dan segala penderitaannya.
Yahweh, do not forget [King] David and all the hardships/troubles he endured!
2 Jangan lupa akan sembahnya kepada-Mu TUHAN, akan kaulnya kepada-Mu Yang Mahakuat, Allah Yakub.
He made a solemn promise to you, the mighty God whom [our ancestor] Jacob [worshiped].
3 Katanya, "Aku takkan beristirahat di rumahku atau tidur di tempat tidurku,
He said, “I will not go home, I will not [rest] on my bed,
I will not sleep at all
5 sebelum menyediakan rumah bagi Allah Yakub, tempat kediaman bagi TUHAN Yang Mahakuat."
until I build a place for Yahweh, a home for the mighty God whom Jacob [worshiped].”
6 Di Betlehem kita mendengar tentang Peti Perjanjian, lalu menemukannya di padang Yaar.
In Bethlehem we heard news about the sacred chest. We [went and] found it in the fields of Jearim [city, and we took it to Jerusalem].
7 Marilah kita pergi ke tempat kediaman TUHAN, dan menyembah Dia di depan takhta-Nya.
[Later we said], “Let’s go to the temple of Yahweh [in Jerusalem]; let’s worship [there] in front of the throne [where he sits].”
8 Datanglah dan tinggallah di Rumah-Mu, ya TUHAN, bersama Peti Perjanjian, lambang kuasa-Mu.
Yahweh, come to the place where you live eternally, to the place where your sacred chest is, to that place that shows that you are very powerful.
9 Semoga umat-Mu bersorak gembira, dan para imam-Mu selalu hidup menurut kehendak-Mu.
I want/desire that the righteous behavior of your priests [will always be evident], [just like the beautiful] robes that they wear [MET], and that your people will [always] shout joyfully.
10 Demi Daud, hamba-Mu, janganlah menolak raja pilihan-Mu.
You chose David to serve you [as king of Israel]; do not reject/abandon him!
11 TUHAN telah bersumpah kepada Daud; Ia tak akan mengingkari janji-Nya. Kata-Nya, "Seorang anakmu akan Kujadikan raja untuk memerintah menggantikan engkau.
Yahweh, you made a solemn promise to David, a promise that you will not break. You said, “I will cause your descendants to rule [MTY] as kings like you.
12 Jika anak-anakmu setia kepada perjanjian-Ku, dan mentaati perintah-perintah-Ku, maka untuk selama-lamanya keturunan mereka menggantikan engkau sebagai raja."
If they keep my agreement with them and obey [all] the commands that I will give them, the line of kings descended from you will never end.”
13 Sebab TUHAN telah memilih Sion; Ia menginginkannya untuk tempat kediaman-Nya.
Yahweh has chosen Jerusalem; he has wanted to make that city his home;
14 Kata-Nya, "Di sinilah kediaman-Ku untuk selama-lamanya, Aku ingin memerintah di tempat ini.
he said, “This is the city where I will live forever [DOU]; this is the place where I wanted to stay.
15 Segala keperluannya akan Kupenuhi dengan limpah, orang-orangnya yang miskin Kuberi makan sampai kenyang.
I will give to the people of Jerusalem all that they need; I will give [enough] food [even] to satisfy the poor people there.
16 Imam-imamnya menampakkan keselamatan daripada-Ku; umatnya akan menyanyi dan bersorak gembira.
I will cause the priests [to behave in a manner worthy of] being ones whom I have saved; [that will be as evident as the beautiful] robes that they wear [MET]; and all my people who live there will shout joyfully.
17 Di sini seorang keturunan Daud Kujadikan raja; pemerintahannya akan Kuteguhkan.
There [in Jerusalem] I will cause one of David’s descendants [MET] to become a great king; he also will be my chosen king, and he will be [like a bright] lamp [MET] [that shines continually].
18 Kerajaannya akan selalu sejahtera, tetapi musuh-musuhnya akan dipermalukan."
I will [defeat his] enemies and cause them to be very ashamed/disgraced; but the crown that my king wears will [always] shine.”
