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 Musician upon Gittith, [A Psalm] of Asaph. Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.
2 Bunyikanlah rebana, angkatlah lagu, petiklah gambus dan kecapi dengan merdu.
Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.
3 Tiuplah terompet pada hari raya kita, pada pesta bulan baru dan bulan purnama.
Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.
4 Sebab hal itu suatu peraturan di Israel, suatu perintah dari Allah Yakub.
For this [was] a statute 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,
This he ordained in Joseph [for] a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: [where] I heard a language [that] I understood not.
6 "Aku telah mengangkat beban dari pundakmu, dan melepaskan keranjang pikulan dari tanganmu.
I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots.
7 Dalam kesusahanmu kamu berseru, dan Aku menyelamatkan kamu. Kujawab kamu dari guntur tempat Aku bersembunyi, Kuuji kamu di mata air Meriba.
Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder: I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. (Selah)
8 Dengarlah peringatan-Ku, hai umat-Ku, Israel, sekiranya kamu mau mendengarkan Aku!
Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me;
9 Jangan di antaramu ada ilah lain, janganlah menyembah ilah asing.
There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god.
10 Akulah TUHAN Allahmu, yang menuntun kamu keluar dari Mesir. Waktu kamu lapar kamu Kuberi makan.
I [am] the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
11 Tapi umat-Ku tak mau mendengarkan Aku, Israel tak mau taat kepada-Ku.
But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me.
12 Sebab itu Aku membiarkan mereka berkeras kepala; biarlah mereka mengikuti kemauan mereka sendiri.
So I gave them up unto their own hearts’ lust: [and] they walked in their own counsels.
13 Ah, sekiranya umat-Ku mau mendengarkan Aku, sekiranya mereka mau taat kepada-Ku,
Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, [and] Israel had walked in my ways!
14 maka Aku segera menundukkan musuh mereka, dan mengalahkan semua lawan mereka.
I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.
15 Orang yang membenci Aku akan Kutaklukkan, mereka akan dihukum untuk selama-lamanya.
The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto him: but their time should have endured for ever.
16 Tetapi umat-Ku akan Kuberi makan gandum pilihan, dan Kukenyangkan dengan madu hutan."
He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee.
