Mazmur 68
1 Untuk pemimpin kor. Mazmur Daud. Allah bangkit menceraiberaikan musuh-Nya, orang yang membenci Dia lari dari hadapan-Nya.
Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee 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.
As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melts before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
3 Tetapi orang saleh bersukacita dan riang gembira, mereka bersorak-sorak kesukaan di hadapan Allah.
But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God: yes, let them exceedingly rejoice.
4 Bernyanyilah bagi Allah, pujilah nama-Nya, siapkanlah jalan raya bagi Dia yang mengendarai awan. Nama-Nya TUHAN--bersenang-senangla di hadapan-Nya!
Sing to God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rides on the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him.
5 Allah yang tinggal di Rumah-Nya yang suci adalah bapak anak yatim dan pembela para janda.
A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.
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.
God sets the solitary in families: he brings out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.
7 Ya Allah, ketika Engkau membimbing umat-Mu berjalan melewati padang yang kering,
O God, when you went forth before your people, when you did march through the wilderness; (Selah)
8 bumi bergetar, hujan tercurah di hadapan-Mu, karena kedatangan Allah Sinai, Allah Israel.
The earth shook, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God: even Sinai itself was moved at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
9 Dengan limpah Engkau menurunkan hujan, dan memulihkan tanah-Mu yang gersang.
You, O God, did send a plentiful rain, whereby you did confirm your inheritance, when it was weary.
10 Lalu umat-Mu berdiam di sana; dalam kebaikan-Mu, ya Allah, Engkau memelihara orang miskin.
Your congregation has dwelled therein: you, O God, have prepared of your goodness for the poor.
11 TUHAN memberi perintah, lalu para wanita membawa berita:
The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it.
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 did flee apace: and she that tarried at home divided the spoil.
Though you have lien among the pots, yet shall you be as the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold.
14 Ketika Yang Mahakuasa menyerakkan raja-raja di sana, turunlah salju dari Gunung Salmon.
When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was white as snow in Salmon.
15 Gunung Basan adalah gunung yang hebat, gunung yang berpuncak banyak.
The hill of God is as the hill of Bashan; an high hill as 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 leap you, you high hills? this is the hill which God desires to dwell in; yes, the LORD will dwell in it for ever.
17 Dengan puluhan ribu kereta kuat Allah tampil di antara mereka dalam keagungan-Nya.
The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels: the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in 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 ascended on high, you have led captivity captive: you have received gifts for men; yes, for the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell among them.
19 Pujilah TUHAN, sebab Dialah Allah yang menyelamatkan kita; dari hari ke hari Ia memikul beban kita.
Blessed be the Lord, who daily loads us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. (Selah)
20 Allah kita adalah TUHAN yang menyelamatkan, Ia membebaskan kita dari kematian.
He that is our God is the God of salvation; and to GOD the Lord belong the issues from death.
21 Allah pasti akan meremukkan kepala musuh-Nya, orang-orang yang terus hidup dalam dosa.
But God shall wound the head of his enemies, and the hairy scalp of such an one as goes on still in his trespasses.
22 Kata TUHAN, "Hai umat-Ku, Kubawa musuhmu dari Basan Kubawa mereka kembali dari dasar lautan,
The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring my people again from the depths of the sea:
23 supaya kamu membasuh kakimu dengan darah mereka, dan anjing-anjingmu menjilatnya sepuas-puasnya."
That your foot may be dipped in the blood of your enemies, and the tongue of your dogs in the same.
24 Semua melihat pawai kemenangan-Mu, ya Allah, Allahku, Rajaku, diarak ke tempat kediaman-Nya.
They have seen your goings, O God; even the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary.
25 Di depan berjalan para penyanyi, di belakang para pemain kecapi; di tengah para gadis pemukul rebana; beginilah nyanyian mereka:
The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after; among them were the damsels playing with tambourines.
26 "Pujilah Allah di tengah himpunan umat-Nya, pujilah TUHAN, hai semua keturunan Yakub!"
Bless you God in the congregations, even the Lord, 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 with their ruler, the princes of Judah and their council, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali.
28 Allahmu menuntut kekuatanmu; ya Allah, teguhkanlah apa yang telah Kaulakukan bagi kami.
Your God has commanded your strength: strengthen, O God, that which you have worked for us.
29 Raja-raja membawa persembahan kepada-Mu di Rumah-Mu di Yerusalem.
Because of your temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents to you.
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.
Rebuke the company of spearmen, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the people, till every one submit himself with pieces of silver: scatter you the people that delight in war.
31 Pembesar-pembesar Mesir datang membawa tembaga; orang Sudan bergegas-gegas membawa upeti kepada Allah.
Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands to God.
32 Bernyanyilah bagi Allah, hai semua kerajaan, nyanyikanlah puji-pujian bagi TUHAN,
Sing to God, you kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises to the Lord; (Selah)
33 bagi dia yang melintasi angkasa purbakala. Dengar! TUHAN berbicara, suara-Nya menggelegar dengan dahsyat.
To him that rides on the heavens of heavens, which were of old; see, he does send out his voice, and that a mighty voice.
34 Akuilah kuasa Allah yang berdaulat atas Israel, kuasa-Nya sampai di langit.
Ascribe you strength to God: his excellency is over Israel, and his strength 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 terrible out of your holy places: the God of Israel is he that gives strength and power to his people. Blessed be God.
