Mazmur 81
1 Untuk pemimpin kor. Menurut lagu: Gitit. Dari Asaf. Nyanyikanlah puji-pujian bagi Allah, kekuatan kita, bersoraklah dengan gembira bagi Allah Yakub.
For the chief musician; set to the Gittith style. A psalm of Asaph. Sing aloud to God our strength; shout out for joy to the God of Jacob.
2 Bunyikanlah rebana, angkatlah lagu, petiklah gambus dan kecapi dengan merdu.
Sing a song and play the tambourine, the pleasant lyre with the harp.
3 Tiuplah terompet pada hari raya kita, pada pesta bulan baru dan bulan purnama.
Blow the trumpet on the day of the new moon, on the day of the full moon, when our feast day begins.
4 Sebab hal itu suatu peraturan di Israel, suatu perintah dari Allah Yakub.
For it is a statute for Israel, a decree given by the God of Jacob.
5 Ia menjadikannya sebuah ketetapan bagi bangsa Israel, ketika Ia maju melawan Mesir. Aku mendengar bahasa yang tidak kukenal,
He issued it as a regulation in Joseph when he went against the land of Egypt, where I heard a voice that I did not recognize:
6 "Aku telah mengangkat beban dari pundakmu, dan melepaskan keranjang pikulan dari tanganmu.
“I removed the burden from his shoulder; his hands were freed from holding the basket.
7 Dalam kesusahanmu kamu berseru, dan Aku menyelamatkan kamu. Kujawab kamu dari guntur tempat Aku bersembunyi, Kuuji kamu di mata air Meriba.
In your distress you called out, and I helped you; I answered you from a dark thundercloud. I tested you at the waters of Meribah. (Selah)
8 Dengarlah peringatan-Ku, hai umat-Ku, Israel, sekiranya kamu mau mendengarkan Aku!
Listen, my people, for I will warn you, Israel, if you would only listen to me!
9 Jangan di antaramu ada ilah lain, janganlah menyembah ilah asing.
There must be no foreign god among you; you must not worship any foreign god.
10 Akulah TUHAN Allahmu, yang menuntun kamu keluar dari Mesir. Waktu kamu lapar kamu Kuberi makan.
I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.
11 Tapi umat-Ku tak mau mendengarkan Aku, Israel tak mau taat kepada-Ku.
But my people did not listen to my words; Israel did not obey me.
12 Sebab itu Aku membiarkan mereka berkeras kepala; biarlah mereka mengikuti kemauan mereka sendiri.
So I gave them over to their own stubborn way so that they might do what seemed right to them.
13 Ah, sekiranya umat-Ku mau mendengarkan Aku, sekiranya mereka mau taat kepada-Ku,
Oh, that my people would listen to me; oh, that my people would walk in my paths.
14 maka Aku segera menundukkan musuh mereka, dan mengalahkan semua lawan mereka.
Then I would quickly subdue their enemies and turn my hand against their oppressors.
15 Orang yang membenci Aku akan Kutaklukkan, mereka akan dihukum untuk selama-lamanya.
May those who hate Yahweh cringe in fear before him! May they be humiliated forever.
16 Tetapi umat-Ku akan Kuberi makan gandum pilihan, dan Kukenyangkan dengan madu hutan."
I would feed Israel with the finest wheat; I would satisfy you with honey out of the rock.”
