Mazmur 79
1 Mazmur Asaf. Ya Allah, bangsa yang tidak mengenal Engkau sudah menduduki tanah pusaka-Mu. Mereka menajiskan Rumah-Mu, Yerusalem dijadikan reruntuhan.
A Psalm of Asaph. O God, nations have come into Thy inheritance, They have defiled Thy holy temple, They made Jerusalem become heaps,
2 Mayat hamba-hamba-Mu mereka tinggalkan menjadi makanan burung-burung di udara. Jenazah para kekasih-Mu mereka biarkan menjadi makanan binatang liar.
They gave the dead bodies of Thy servants Food for the fowls of the heavens, The flesh of Thy saints For the wild beast of the earth.
3 Di seluruh kota Yerusalem darah mereka tertumpah seperti air; tak ada yang menguburkan mereka.
They have shed their blood As water round about Jerusalem, And there is none burying.
4 Kami menjadi bahan ejekan bangsa-bangsa tetangga, mereka menertawakan dan mencemoohkan kami.
We have been a reproach to our neighbours, A scorn and a derision to our surrounders.
5 Ya TUHAN, untuk selamanyakah Engkau marah, dan cemburu-Mu berkobar seperti api?
Till when, O Jehovah? art Thou angry for ever? Thy jealousy doth burn as fire.
6 Tumpahkanlah kemarahan-Mu ke atas bangsa-bangsa yang tidak mengenal Engkau, dan ke atas kerajaan-kerajaan yang tidak berbakti kepada-Mu.
Pour Thy fury on the nations who have not known Thee, And on kingdoms that have not called in Thy name.
7 Sebab mereka sudah membinasakan umat-Mu, dan menghancurkan tempat tinggal mereka.
For [one] hath devoured Jacob, And his habitation they have made desolate.
8 Jangan menghukum kami karena dosa leluhur kami. Kasihanilah kami segera, sebab kami putus asa.
Remember not for us the iniquities of forefathers, Haste, let Thy mercies go before us, For we have been very weak.
9 Tolonglah kami ya Allah, penyelamat kami, ampunilah dosa-dosa kami dan bebaskanlah kami demi kehormatan-Mu sendiri.
Help us, O God of our salvation, Because of the honour of Thy name, And deliver us, and cover over our sins, For Thy name's sake.
10 Jangan biarkan bangsa lain bertanya tentang kami, "Di mana Allah mereka?" Biarlah kami melihat pembalasan atas bangsa-bangsa yang membunuh hamba-hamba-Mu.
Why do the nations say, 'Where [is] their God?' Let be known among the nations before our eyes, The vengeance of the blood of Thy servants that is shed.
11 Dengarlah rintihan para tahanan; semoga orang-orang yang ditentukan untuk mati dibiarkan hidup karena kuasa-Mu.
Let the groaning of the prisoner come in before Thee, According to the greatness of Thine arm, Leave Thou the sons of death.
12 Ya TUHAN, balaslah bangsa-bangsa itu tujuh kali lipat karena semua penghinaan mereka terhadap-Mu.
And turn Thou back to our neighbours, Sevenfold unto their bosom, their reproach, Wherewith they reproached Thee, O Lord.
13 Maka kami umat-Mu, domba gembalaan-Mu, akan bersyukur kepada-Mu untuk selama-lamanya, dan memuji Engkau turun-temurun.
And we, Thy people, and the flock of Thy pasture, We give thanks to Thee to the age, To all generations we recount Thy praise!
