Mazmur 69
1 Untuk pemimpin kor. Menurut lagu: Bunga Bakung. Dari Daud. Selamatkanlah aku, ya Allah, sebab air sudah naik sampai ke leherku.
O God, save me, because [I am in great danger]. [It is as though] flood water is up to my neck, [and I am about to drown] [MET].
2 Aku terperosok ke rawa yang dalam, tak ada tempat bertumpu. Aku tenggelam di air yang dalam, dihanyutkan oleh gelombang pasang.
I continue to sink in the deep mud, and there is no solid ground for me to stand on. I am in deep water, and flood waters are swirling around me.
3 Aku berseru-seru sampai letih dan kerongkonganku kering. Mataku perih menantikan bantuan Allahku.
I am exhausted from calling out [for help]; my throat is very dry. Because I have cried so much as I have waited for God [to help me], my eyes are swollen.
4 Orang yang membenci aku tanpa alasan, lebih banyak dari rambut di kepalaku. Orang-orang kuat mau membinasakan aku; mereka menyerang aku dengan fitnah. Aku dipaksa mengembalikan harta yang tidak kurampas.
Those who hate me when there is no reason to hate me are more than the number of hairs on my head [HYP]! Those who want to get rid of me are strong, and they tell lies about me. They demand that I return to them things that I did not steal!
5 Ya Allah, Engkau tahu kesalahan-kesalahanku dosaku tidak tersembunyi bagi-Mu.
O God, (you see the sins that I have committed/my sins are not hidden from you). You know that I have foolishly [disobeyed your laws].
6 Jangan biarkan aku mendatangkan malu atas orang-orang yang berharap kepada-Mu, ya TUHAN, Allah Yang Mahakuasa. Jangan biarkan aku mendatangkan nista atas orang-orang yang menyembah Engkau, ya Allah Israel!
O Yahweh God, [you who are the commander] of the armies [of heaven], do not allow the [wrong things that] I [have done] to cause those who trust in you to be disappointed/disillusioned. O God, you whom [we] Israeli people [worship], do not allow me to cause your people to be humiliated.
7 Sebab karena Engkaulah aku dihina, karena Engkaulah aku dicela.
People have insulted/ridiculed me because [I am devoted to] you. They have thoroughly humiliated [IDM] me.
8 Aku menjadi seperti orang asing bagi sanak saudaraku, seperti orang luar bagi kakak-adikku.
Even my own [older] brothers act as if they do not know me; they treat me like a foreigner.
9 Semangatku berkobar karena cinta kepada Rumah-Mu, olok-olokan orang yang menghina Engkau menimpa diriku.
[Some people have despised your temple]; but my zeal for [keeping] your temple [holy] is like a fire burning inside me. So [it is as though] those who are insulting you are also insulting me.
10 Aku menangis dan berpuasa, tetapi mereka menghina aku.
When I have humbled myself and (fasted/abstained from eating food) [to show my sadness about the disgraceful things that they have done to your temple], they just insult me.
11 Aku memakai kain karung tanda berduka, tetapi mereka menyindir aku.
When I put on [rough] sackcloth [to show that I am sad], they laugh at [IDM] me.
12 Aku menjadi buah bibir di tempat orang berkumpul, dan nyanyian pemabuk-pemabuk adalah tentang aku.
Even the elders [of the city] say bad things about me. The drunkards of the city sing [disgusting] songs about me.
13 Tetapi aku berdoa kepada-Mu, ya TUHAN, ya Allah, jawablah aku pada waktu yang baik. Tolonglah aku karena kasih-Mu yang besar dan karena kesetiaan-Mu.
But Yahweh, I will [continue] praying to you. At the time that you choose, answer me and rescue me because you faithfully love me.
14 Jangan biarkan aku tenggelam di dalam rawa, selamatkanlah aku dari orang-orang yang membenci aku dan dari air yang dalam.
Do not allow me to sink any more in the mud. Rescue me from those who hate me! Lift me up out of these deep waters!
15 Jangan biarkan aku dihanyutkan gelombang pasang, dan tenggelam di dasar laut atau dikubur dalam lubang.
Do not allow flood waters to swirl around me, do not allow the deep [mud] to swallow me; keep me from sinking into the pit [of death] [MET].
16 Jawablah aku, ya TUHAN, sebab Engkau baik dan tetap mengasihi. Sudilah berpaling kepadaku sebab besarlah belas kasihan-Mu.
O Yahweh, answer my prayer and help me because you are good and love me faithfully.
17 Janganlah bersembunyi dari hamba-Mu ini, sebab aku kesusahan, bergegaslah menolong aku.
Do not (hide yourself from/refuse to hear) me; answer me quickly because I am in great trouble.
18 Datanglah menyelamatkan aku, bebaskan aku dari musuh-musuhku.
Come near to me and save me; rescue me from my enemies.
19 Engkau tahu betapa aku dicela, dihina dan dinista, Engkau melihat semua musuhku.
You know that I am insulted and that [people cause] me [to feel] ashamed and dishonored; you know [who] all my enemies [are].
20 Penghinaan telah membuat aku patah hati, dan aku putus asa. Kucari belas kasihan, tetapi sia-sia, kucari penghibur, tapi tidak kudapati.
[Their] insults have deeply offended me, and I (feel helpless/am in despair). I searched for [someone who would] pity [me], but there was no one. I wanted someone to encourage/comfort me, but there were none.
21 Bahkan aku diberi racun untuk makanan; waktu haus, aku diberi cuka untuk minuman.
[Instead], they gave me food [that tasted like] poison, and when I was thirsty, they gave me sour wine to drink.
22 Biarlah perjamuan mereka mendatangkan celaka, dan menjadi perangkap bagi tamu-tamu mereka.
I hope/desire that the feasts [MTY] [that they enjoy] will (become a snare for/bring trouble to) them, and that [those whom they invite to] the sacrificial feasts will also be trapped.
23 Biarlah mata mereka menjadi buta dan punggung mereka selalu lemah.
I hope/desire that their eyesight will become dim so that they cannot see anything, and that their backs/bodies will become weaker and weaker.
24 Tumpahkanlah kemarahan-Mu ke atas mereka, biarlah mereka ditimpa murka-Mu yang menyala-nyala.
Show them that you are very angry with them! Because of your great/furious anger, chase after them and catch them.
25 Biarlah perkemahan mereka sunyi sepi, dan kemah-kemah mereka tanpa penghuni.
Cause their towns to become abandoned/deserted and that there will be no one left to live in their tents/houses.
26 Sebab mereka menganiaya orang yang Kauhukum, dan membicarakan orang-orang yang Kausiksa.
[Do this] because they persecute those whom you have punished, (they talk about the sins of/they want to hurt even more) those whom you have wounded.
27 Biarlah kesalahan mereka bertambah banyak; jangan membenarkan mereka.
Keep making a record of all their sins, do not acquit/pardon them [for the evil things that they have done].
28 Biarlah nama mereka dihapus dari buku orang hidup; dan tidak tercatat dalam daftar orang jujur.
Erase their names [SYN] from the book [containing the names of those who have eternal] life; do not include them in the list of righteous people.
29 Tetapi aku tertindas dan kesakitan, angkatlah aku ya Allah, dan selamatkanlah aku.
As for me, I have pain and am suffering. O God, protect me and rescue me.
30 Maka aku akan memuji Allah dengan nyanyian, mengagungkan Dia dengan nyanyian syukur.
When God does that, I will sing as I praise God, and I will honor him by thanking him.
31 Itu lebih berkenan kepada TUHAN daripada kurban sapi, kurban sapi jantan yang besar.
My doing that will please Yahweh more than [sacrificing] oxen, more than offering him full-grown bulls.
32 Melihat itu, orang tertindas bergembira, orang yang menyembah Allah berbesar hati.
Oppressed/Afflicted people will see [that God has rescued me], and they will be glad. I want all of you who ask God [to help you] to be encouraged.
33 Sebab TUHAN mendengarkan orang yang miskin; Ia tidak mengabaikan umat-Nya di dalam penjara.
Yahweh listens to those who are needy; He does not ignore/forget those who are oppressed/imprisoned.
34 Pujilah Allah, hai langit dan bumi, lautan dan semua makhluk di dalamnya.
I desire that everything will praise God— everything that is in heaven and on earth, and all the creatures that are in the seas.
35 Ia akan menyelamatkan Yerusalem dan membangun kembali kota-kota Yehuda. Umat TUHAN akan berdiam di sana; tanah itu menjadi milik mereka.
God will rescue the people of Jerusalem [from their enemies], and he will rebuild the towns that are in Judah. His people will live there and [again] possess the land.
36 Anak cucunya akan mewarisinya; orang-orang yang mencintai TUHAN akan mendiaminya.
The descendants of his people will inherit it, and those who love him will live there [safely].
