< Mazmur 22 >
1 Untuk pemimpin kor. Menurut lagu: Rusa di kala fajar. Mazmur Daud. Allahku, ya Allahku, mengapa Engkau meninggalkan aku? Aku berseru, tetapi Engkau tetap jauh dan tidak menolong aku.
For the Chief Musician; set to “The Doe of the Morning.” A Psalm by David. My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from helping me, and from the words of my groaning?
2 Ya Allahku, aku berseru di waktu siang, tetapi Engkau tetap diam. Aku berdoa di waktu malam, hatiku tidak juga tenang.
My God, I cry in the daytime, but you don’t answer; in the night season, and am not silent.
3 Namun Engkau Raja Yang Mahasuci, yang dipuji-puji oleh Israel.
But you are holy, you who inhabit the praises of Israel.
4 Nenek moyang kami berharap kepada-Mu, mereka berharap, dan Engkau menyelamatkan mereka.
Our fathers trusted in you. They trusted, and you delivered them.
5 Mereka berseru kepada-Mu dan diluputkan; mereka berharap dan tidak dikecewakan.
They cried to you, and were delivered. They trusted in you, and were not disappointed.
6 Tetapi aku ini cacing, bukan manusia, dicemoohkan dan dihina orang banyak.
But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised by the people.
7 Semua yang melihat aku, mengejek aku, mencibirkan bibir dan menggelengkan kepala.
All those who see me mock me. They insult me with their lips. They shake their heads, saying,
8 Kata mereka, "Biarlah ia mengandalkan TUHAN, supaya TUHAN menyelamatkan dia, kalau TUHAN senang kepadanya!"
“He trusts in Yahweh. Let him deliver him. Let him rescue him, since he delights in him.”
9 Engkaulah yang mengeluarkan aku dari kandungan, dan membuat aku aman di pangkuan ibuku.
But you brought me out of the womb. You made me trust while at my mother’s breasts.
10 Sejak lahir, nasibku ada di tangan-Mu, sejak dalam kandungan, Engkaulah Allahku.
I was thrown on you from my mother’s womb. You are my God since my mother bore me.
11 Janganlah jauh, sebab bahaya sudah dekat, dan tidak ada yang menolong.
Don’t be far from me, for trouble is near. For there is no one to help.
12 Seperti kawanan banteng, musuh mengerumuni aku, seperti banteng liar dari Basan mereka mengepung aku.
Many bulls have surrounded me. Strong bulls of Bashan have encircled me.
13 Mereka menghadapi aku dengan mulut ternganga, seperti singa yang mengaum dan menerkam.
They open their mouths wide against me, lions tearing prey and roaring.
14 Tenagaku habis seperti air yang tumpah, semua tulangku terlepas dari sendinya, hatiku meleleh seperti lilin.
I am poured out like water. All my bones are out of joint. My heart is like wax. It is melted within me.
15 Kerongkonganku kering seperti beling, lidahku melekat di langit-langit mulutku. TUHAN, Kautinggalkan aku di atas debu seperti orang yang sudah mati.
My strength is dried up like a potsherd. My tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. You have brought me into the dust of death.
16 Aku dikepung gerombolan orang jahat; seperti kawanan anjing mereka mengerumuni aku, menusuki tangan dan kakiku.
For dogs have surrounded me. A company of evildoers have enclosed me. They have pierced my hands and feet.
17 Semua tulangku dapat kuhitung, musuh memandangi aku sebagai tontonan.
I can count all of my bones. They look and stare at me.
18 Mereka membagi-bagikan pakaianku, dan membuang undi atas jubahku.
They divide my garments among them. They cast lots for my clothing.
19 Tetapi Engkau, janganlah jauh, ya TUHAN, datanglah segera menolong aku, sebab Engkaulah kekuatanku.
But don’t be far off, Yahweh. You are my help. Hurry to help me!
20 Luputkanlah nyawaku dari pedang, selamatkan aku dari cengkeraman anjing.
Deliver my soul from the sword, my precious life from the power of the dog.
21 Aku tidak berdaya, lepaskanlah aku dari tanduk banteng dan dari moncong singa.
Save me from the lion’s mouth! Yes, you have rescued me from the horns of the wild oxen.
22 Perbuatan-Mu akan kuceritakan kepada saudara-saudaraku; dalam pertemuan umat-Mu aku memuji-muji Engkau.
I will declare your name to my brothers. Among the assembly, I will praise you.
23 Pujilah Dia, hai orang-orang takwa! Agungkanlah Dia, semua keturunan Yakub! Sujudlah kepada-Nya, semua keturunan Israel!
You who fear Yahweh, praise him! All you descendants of Jacob, glorify him! Stand in awe of him, all you descendants of Israel!
24 Sebab Ia tidak memandang hina orang tertindas, dan tidak meremehkan kesengsaraannya. Ia tidak berpaling dari orang itu, tetapi mendengar bila ia minta tolong kepada-Nya.
For he has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted, neither has he hidden his face from him; but when he cried to him, he heard.
25 Di tengah kumpulan umat aku memuji Engkau, karena segala yang telah Kaulakukan. Di depan umat yang takwa kupersembahkan kurban yang kujanjikan.
My praise of you comes in the great assembly. I will pay my vows before those who fear him.
26 Orang miskin akan makan sampai kenyang; orang yang datang kepada TUHAN akan memuji Dia. Semoga kamu sejahtera selama-lamanya!
The humble shall eat and be satisfied. They shall praise Yahweh who seek after him. Let your hearts live forever.
27 Semua bangsa akan ingat kepada TUHAN dan kembali kepada-Nya, segala suku bangsa akan sujud menyembah Dia.
All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to Yahweh. All the relatives of the nations shall worship before you.
28 Sebab Tuhanlah yang berkuasa, Ia memerintah bangsa-bangsa.
For the kingdom is Yahweh’s. He is the ruler over the nations.
29 Semua orang besar akan sujud di hadapan-Nya, semua manusia fana akan sujud menyembah Dia.
All the rich ones of the earth shall eat and worship. All those who go down to the dust shall bow before him, even he who can’t keep his soul alive.
30 Angkatan-angkatan berikut akan berbakti kepada TUHAN, Ia akan diberitakan turun-temurun.
Posterity shall serve him. Future generations shall be told about the Lord.
31 Kepada bangsa yang lahir kemudian akan dikabarkan bahwa TUHAN telah menyelamatkan umat-Nya.
They shall come and shall declare his righteousness to a people that shall be born, for he has done it.
