Mazmur 50
1 Mazmur Asaf. TUHAN, Allah Yang Mahakuasa, berbicara; Ia berseru kepada seluruh bumi dari timur sampai ke barat.
A Psalm. Of Asaph. The God of gods, even the Lord, has sent out his voice, and the earth is full of fear; from the coming up of the sun to its going down.
2 Dari Sion, kota yang paling indah, Allah tampil dengan bercahaya.
From Zion, most beautiful of places, God has sent out his light.
3 Allah kita datang dan tidak tinggal diam, Ia didahului api yang menjilat-jilat, dan dikelilingi badai yang dahsyat.
Our God will come, and will not keep quiet; with fire burning before him, and storm-winds round him.
4 Ia memanggil langit dan bumi untuk menyaksikan dia mengadili umat-Nya.
His voice will go out to the heavens and to the earth, for the judging of his people:
5 Kata-Nya, "Kumpulkanlah seluruh umat-Ku yang telah mengikat perjanjian dengan Aku, dan mengukuhkannya dengan kurban sembelihan."
Let my saints come together to me; those who have made an agreement with me by offerings.
6 Langit mewartakan bahwa Allah mengadili umat-Nya, dan bahwa Ia sendiri hakimnya.
And let the heavens make clear his righteousness; for God himself is the judge. (Selah)
7 "Dengarlah, umat-Ku, Aku mau berbicara, Israel, Aku mau bersaksi terhadap kamu; Aku ini Allah, Allahmu.
Give ear, O my people, to my words; O Israel, I will be a witness against you; I am God, even your God.
8 Bukan karena kurbanmu Aku menuduh kamu; kurban bakaranmu selalu ada di hadapan-Ku.
I will not take up a cause against you because of your offerings, or because of your burned offerings, which are ever before me.
9 Aku tidak memerlukan sapi dari kandangmu, atau kambing dari kawanan ternakmu;
I will take no ox out of your house, or he-goats from your flocks;
10 sebab semua binatang di hutan adalah milik-Ku, dan ternak di ribuan pegunungan.
For every beast of the woodland is mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills.
11 Semua burung di pegunungan milik-Ku juga, dan segala makhluk yang hidup di padang belantara.
I see all the birds of the mountains, and the beasts of the field are mine.
12 Kalau Aku lapar, tak perlu Kukatakan kepadamu, sebab bumi seisinya adalah milik-Ku.
If I had need of food, I would not give you word of it; for the earth is mine and all its wealth.
13 Aku tidak makan daging sapi jantan, tidak juga minum darah kambing jantan.
Am I to take the flesh of the ox for my food, or the blood of goats for my drink?
14 Persembahkanlah kurban syukur kepada Allah, tepatilah janjimu kepada Yang Mahatinggi.
Make an offering of praise to God; keep the agreements which you have made with the Most High;
15 Berserulah kepada-Ku di waktu kesesakan, Aku akan membebaskan kamu, dan kamu akan memuji Aku."
Let your voice come up to me in the day of trouble; I will be your saviour, so that you may give glory to me.
16 Tetapi kepada orang jahat TUHAN berkata, "Engkau tidak berhak mengucapkan hukum-Ku, dan berbicara tentang perjanjian-Ku.
But to the sinner, God says, What are you doing, talking of my laws, or taking the words of my agreement in your mouth?
17 Sebab engkau tak mau menerima teguran-Ku, dan menolak perintah-perintah-K
Seeing that you have no desire for my teaching, turning your back on my words.
18 Jika kaulihat seorang pencuri, kauikut dengan dia, dan engkau bergaul dengan orang-orang yang suka berzinah.
When you saw a thief, you were in agreement with him, and you were joined with those who took other men's wives.
19 Engkau selalu mengatakan yang jahat, dan selalu siap dengan tipu muslihat.
You have given your mouth to evil, your tongue to words of deceit.
20 Engkau terus memfitnah saudaramu, dan mengata-ngatai saudara kandungmu.
You say evil of your brother; you make false statements against your mother's son.
21 Itulah yang kaulakukan, tetapi Aku diam saja, jadi kaupikir Aku seperti engkau. Tetapi sekarang Aku mencela engkau, dan semua itu Kujadikan nyata bagimu.
These things have you done, and I said nothing; it seemed to you that I was such a one as yourself; but I will make a protest against you, and put them in order before your eyes.
22 Perhatikanlah, kamu yang lupa kepada Allah; jagalah jangan sampai kamu Kubinasakan, dan tidak ada yang menyelamatkan.
Now keep this in mind, you who have no memory of God, for fear that you may be crushed under my hand, with no one to give you help:
23 Orang yang mempersembahkan syukur sebagai kurbannya, dialah yang menghormati Aku; dan kepada orang yang menyiapkan jalan akan Kutunjukkan keselamatan daripada-Ku."
Whoever makes an offering of praise gives glory to me; and to him who is upright in his ways I will make clear the salvation of God.
