Mazmur 81
1 Untuk pemimpin kor. Menurut lagu: Gitit. Dari Asaf. Nyanyikanlah puji-pujian bagi Allah, kekuatan kita, bersoraklah dengan gembira bagi Allah Yakub.
To the chief music-maker; put to the Gittith. Of Asaph. Make a song to God our strength: make a glad cry to the God of Jacob.
2 Bunyikanlah rebana, angkatlah lagu, petiklah gambus dan kecapi dengan merdu.
Take up the melody, playing on an instrument of music, even on corded instruments.
3 Tiuplah terompet pada hari raya kita, pada pesta bulan baru dan bulan purnama.
Let the horn be sounded in the time of the new moon, at the full moon, on our holy feast-day:
4 Sebab hal itu suatu peraturan di Israel, suatu perintah dari Allah Yakub.
For this is a rule for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob.
5 Ia menjadikannya sebuah ketetapan bagi bangsa Israel, ketika Ia maju melawan Mesir. Aku mendengar bahasa yang tidak kukenal,
He gave it to Joseph as a witness, when he went out over the land of Egypt; then the words of a strange tongue were sounding in my ears.
6 "Aku telah mengangkat beban dari pundakmu, dan melepaskan keranjang pikulan dari tanganmu.
I took the weight from his back; his hands were made free from the baskets.
7 Dalam kesusahanmu kamu berseru, dan Aku menyelamatkan kamu. Kujawab kamu dari guntur tempat Aku bersembunyi, Kuuji kamu di mata air Meriba.
You gave a cry in your trouble, and I made you free; I gave you an answer in the secret place of the thunder; I put you to the test at the waters of Meribah. (Selah)
8 Dengarlah peringatan-Ku, hai umat-Ku, Israel, sekiranya kamu mau mendengarkan Aku!
Give ear, O my people, and I will give you my word, O Israel, if you will only do as I say!
9 Jangan di antaramu ada ilah lain, janganlah menyembah ilah asing.
There is to be no strange god among you; you are not to give worship to any other god.
10 Akulah TUHAN Allahmu, yang menuntun kamu keluar dari Mesir. Waktu kamu lapar kamu Kuberi makan.
I am the Lord your God, who took you up from the land of Egypt: let your mouth be open wide, so that I may give you food.
11 Tapi umat-Ku tak mau mendengarkan Aku, Israel tak mau taat kepada-Ku.
But my people did not give ear to my voice; Israel would have nothing to do with me.
12 Sebab itu Aku membiarkan mereka berkeras kepala; biarlah mereka mengikuti kemauan mereka sendiri.
So I gave them up to the desires of their hearts; that they might go after their evil purposes.
13 Ah, sekiranya umat-Ku mau mendengarkan Aku, sekiranya mereka mau taat kepada-Ku,
If only my people would give ear to me, walking in my ways!
14 maka Aku segera menundukkan musuh mereka, dan mengalahkan semua lawan mereka.
I would quickly overcome their haters: my hand would be turned against those who make war on them.
15 Orang yang membenci Aku akan Kutaklukkan, mereka akan dihukum untuk selama-lamanya.
The haters of the Lord would be broken, and their destruction would be eternal.
16 Tetapi umat-Ku akan Kuberi makan gandum pilihan, dan Kukenyangkan dengan madu hutan."
I would give them the best grain for food; you would be full of honey from the rock.
