Mazmur 68
1 Untuk pemimpin kor. Mazmur Daud. Allah bangkit menceraiberaikan musuh-Nya, orang yang membenci Dia lari dari hadapan-Nya.
To the chief music-maker. Of David. A Psalm. A Song. Let God be seen, and let his haters be put to flight; let those who are against him be turned back before him.
2 Allah mengusir mereka pergi, seperti asap yang ditiup dan menghilang. Seperti lilin meleleh di dalam api, begitulah orang jahat lenyap dari hadapan Allah.
Let them be like smoke before the driving wind; as wax turning soft before the fire, so let them come to an end before the power of God.
3 Tetapi orang saleh bersukacita dan riang gembira, mereka bersorak-sorak kesukaan di hadapan Allah.
But let the upright be glad; let them have delight before God; let them be full of joy.
4 Bernyanyilah bagi Allah, pujilah nama-Nya, siapkanlah jalan raya bagi Dia yang mengendarai awan. Nama-Nya TUHAN--bersenang-senangla di hadapan-Nya!
Make songs to God, make songs of praise to his name; make a way for him who comes through the waste lands; his name is Jah; be glad before him.
5 Allah yang tinggal di Rumah-Nya yang suci adalah bapak anak yatim dan pembela para janda.
A father to those who have no father, a judge of the widows, is God in his holy place.
6 Allah memberi tempat tinggal kepada orang yang kesepian; Ia membebaskan orang tahanan sehingga mereka bahagia. Tetapi orang-orang yang melawan TUHAN harus tinggal di tanah yang gersang.
Those who are without friends, God puts in families; he makes free those who are in chains; but those who are turned away from him are given a dry land.
7 Ya Allah, ketika Engkau membimbing umat-Mu berjalan melewati padang yang kering,
O God, when you went out before your people, wandering through the waste land; (Selah)
8 bumi bergetar, hujan tercurah di hadapan-Mu, karena kedatangan Allah Sinai, Allah Israel.
The earth was shaking and the heavens were streaming, because God was present; even Sinai itself was moved before God, the God of Israel.
9 Dengan limpah Engkau menurunkan hujan, dan memulihkan tanah-Mu yang gersang.
You, O God, did freely send the rain, giving strength to the weariness of your heritage.
10 Lalu umat-Mu berdiam di sana; dalam kebaikan-Mu, ya Allah, Engkau memelihara orang miskin.
Those whose resting-place was there, even the poor, were comforted by your good things, O God.
11 TUHAN memberi perintah, lalu para wanita membawa berita:
The Lord gives the word; great is the number of the women who make it public.
12 "Raja-raja dan pasukannya sudah lari!" Mereka lari seperti merpati yang terbang pergi. Para wanita di rumah membagi-bagikan, perak dan emas yang ditinggalkan. Sekalipun banyak yang tidak ikut berperang, umat Allah telah memperoleh kemenangan.
Kings of armies quickly go in flight: and the women in the houses make a division of their goods.
Will you take your rest among the flocks? like the wings of a dove covered with silver, and its feathers with yellow gold.
14 Ketika Yang Mahakuasa menyerakkan raja-raja di sana, turunlah salju dari Gunung Salmon.
When the Most High put the kings to flight, it was as white as snow in Salmon.
15 Gunung Basan adalah gunung yang hebat, gunung yang berpuncak banyak.
A hill of God is the hill of Bashan; a hill with high tops is the hill of Bashan.
16 Mengapa dari puncakmu yang banyak itu engkau memandang dengan cemburu kepada Bukit Sion yang dipilih Allah untuk kediaman-Nya? TUHAN akan tinggal di sana untuk selama-lamanya.
Why are you looking with envy, you high hills, on the hill desired by God as his resting-place? truly, God will make it his house for ever.
17 Dengan puluhan ribu kereta kuat Allah tampil di antara mereka dalam keagungan-Nya.
The war-carriage of God is among Israel's thousands; the Lord has come from Sinai to the holy place.
18 TUHAN naik ke tempat yang tinggi; banyak tawanan dibawa-Nya serta. Ia menerima persembahan dari antara manusia bahkan dari antara kaum pemberontak; supaya mereka berdiam bersama TUHAN Allah.
You have gone up on high, taking your prisoners with you; you have taken offerings from men; the Lord God has taken his place on the seat of his power.
19 Pujilah TUHAN, sebab Dialah Allah yang menyelamatkan kita; dari hari ke hari Ia memikul beban kita.
Praise be to the Lord, who is our support day by day, even the God of our salvation. (Selah)
20 Allah kita adalah TUHAN yang menyelamatkan, Ia membebaskan kita dari kematian.
Our God is for us a God of salvation; his are the ways out of death.
21 Allah pasti akan meremukkan kepala musuh-Nya, orang-orang yang terus hidup dalam dosa.
The heads of the haters of God will be crushed; even the head of him who still goes on in his evil ways.
22 Kata TUHAN, "Hai umat-Ku, Kubawa musuhmu dari Basan Kubawa mereka kembali dari dasar lautan,
The Lord said, I will make them come back from Bashan, and from the deep parts of the sea;
23 supaya kamu membasuh kakimu dengan darah mereka, dan anjing-anjingmu menjilatnya sepuas-puasnya."
So that your foot may be red with blood, and the tongues of your dogs with the same.
24 Semua melihat pawai kemenangan-Mu, ya Allah, Allahku, Rajaku, diarak ke tempat kediaman-Nya.
We see your going, O God: even the going of my God, my King, into the holy place.
25 Di depan berjalan para penyanyi, di belakang para pemain kecapi; di tengah para gadis pemukul rebana; beginilah nyanyian mereka:
The makers of songs go before, the players of music come after, among the young girls playing on brass instruments.
26 "Pujilah Allah di tengah himpunan umat-Nya, pujilah TUHAN, hai semua keturunan Yakub!"
Give praise to God in the great meeting; even the Lord, you who come from the fountain of Israel.
27 Benyamin, suku yang paling kecil, berjalan di depan, lalu berbondong-bondong para pemuka Yehuda di belakangnya para pemuka Zebulon dan Naftali.
There is little Benjamin ruling them, the chiefs of Judah and their army, the rulers of Zebulun and the rulers of Naphtali.
28 Allahmu menuntut kekuatanmu; ya Allah, teguhkanlah apa yang telah Kaulakukan bagi kami.
O God, send out your strength; the strength, O God, with which you have done great things for us,
29 Raja-raja membawa persembahan kepada-Mu di Rumah-Mu di Yerusalem.
Out of your Temple in Jerusalem.
30 Hardiklah Mesir, binatang buas itu di tengah gelagah. Tegurlah bangsa-bangsa, kawanan banteng itu dengan anak-anaknya, yang saling menginjak-injak untuk mendapat perak. Allah menceraiberaikan bangsa-bangsa yang suka berperang.
Say sharp words to the beast among the water-plants, the band of strong ones, with the lords of the peoples, put an end to the people whose delight is in war.
31 Pembesar-pembesar Mesir datang membawa tembaga; orang Sudan bergegas-gegas membawa upeti kepada Allah.
Kings will give you offerings, they will come out of Egypt; from Pathros will come offerings of silver; Ethiopia will be stretching out her hands to God.
32 Bernyanyilah bagi Allah, hai semua kerajaan, nyanyikanlah puji-pujian bagi TUHAN,
Make songs to God, you kingdoms of the earth; O make songs of praise to the Lord; (Selah)
33 bagi dia yang melintasi angkasa purbakala. Dengar! TUHAN berbicara, suara-Nya menggelegar dengan dahsyat.
To him who goes or the clouds of heaven, the heaven which was from earliest times; he sends out his voice of power.
34 Akuilah kuasa Allah yang berdaulat atas Israel, kuasa-Nya sampai di langit.
Make clear that strength is God's: he is lifted up over Israel, and his power is in the clouds.
35 Sungguh mengagumkan Allah kita waktu Ia keluar dari tempat kediaman-Nya. Allah Israel memberi kuasa dan kekuatan kepada umat-Nya. Terpujilah Allah!
O God, you are to be feared in your holy place: the God of Israel gives strength and power to his people. Praise be to God.
