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. On an instrument of Gath. By Asaph. Sing aloud to God, our strength! Make a joyful shout to the God of Jacob!
2 Bunyikanlah rebana, angkatlah lagu, petiklah gambus dan kecapi dengan merdu.
Raise a song, and bring here 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 at the New Moon, at the full moon, on our feast day.
4 Sebab hal itu suatu peraturan di Israel, suatu perintah dari Allah Yakub.
For it is a statute for Israel, an ordinance 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 appointed it in Joseph for a covenant, when he went out over the land of Egypt, I heard a language that I didn’t know.
6 "Aku telah mengangkat beban dari pundakmu, dan melepaskan keranjang pikulan dari tanganmu.
“I removed his shoulder from the burden. His hands were freed from the basket.
7 Dalam kesusahanmu kamu berseru, dan Aku menyelamatkan kamu. Kujawab kamu dari guntur tempat Aku bersembunyi, Kuuji kamu di mata air Meriba.
You called in trouble, and I delivered you. I answered you in the secret place of thunder. I tested you at the waters of Meribah.” (Selah)
8 Dengarlah peringatan-Ku, hai umat-Ku, Israel, sekiranya kamu mau mendengarkan Aku!
“Hear, my people, and I will testify to you, Israel, if you would listen to me!
9 Jangan di antaramu ada ilah lain, janganlah menyembah ilah asing.
There shall be no strange god in you, neither shall you worship any foreign god.
10 Akulah TUHAN Allahmu, yang menuntun kamu keluar dari Mesir. Waktu kamu lapar kamu Kuberi makan.
I am the LORD, your God, who brought you up 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 didn’t listen to my voice. Israel desired none of me.
12 Sebab itu Aku membiarkan mereka berkeras kepala; biarlah mereka mengikuti kemauan mereka sendiri.
So I let them go after the stubbornness of their hearts, that they might walk in their own counsels.
13 Ah, sekiranya umat-Ku mau mendengarkan Aku, sekiranya mereka mau taat kepada-Ku,
Oh that my people would listen to me, that Israel would walk in my ways!
14 maka Aku segera menundukkan musuh mereka, dan mengalahkan semua lawan mereka.
I would soon subdue their enemies, and turn my hand against their adversaries.
15 Orang yang membenci Aku akan Kutaklukkan, mereka akan dihukum untuk selama-lamanya.
The haters of the LORD would cringe before him, and their punishment would last forever.
16 Tetapi umat-Ku akan Kuberi makan gandum pilihan, dan Kukenyangkan dengan madu hutan."
But he would have also fed them with the finest of the wheat. I will satisfy you with honey out of the rock.”
