< Mazmur 83 >

1 Mazmur Asaf: sebuah nyanyian. Ya Allah, janganlah membisu, jangan berpangku tangan dan tinggal diam.
Keep not you silence, O God: hold not your peace, and be not still, O God.
2 Lihatlah, musuh-Mu bergolak, orang-orang yang membenci Engkau berontak.
For, lo, your enemies make a tumult: and they that hate you have lifted up the head.
3 Mereka membuat rencana licik melawan umat-Mu; dan berunding melawan orang-orang yang Kaulindungi.
They have taken crafty counsel against your people, and consulted against your hidden ones.
4 Kata mereka, "Mari kita hancurkan bangsa Israel, supaya nama mereka tidak diingat lagi."
They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
5 Bangsa-bangsa telah bersekutu, dan bermupakat melawan Engkau:
For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against you:
6 bangsa Edom dan Ismael, orang-orang Moab dan Hagar;
The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;
7 bangsa Gebal, Amon dan Amalek, bangsa Filistea serta penduduk Tirus.
Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;
8 Juga Asyur telah bergabung dengan mereka, menjadi kaki tangan keturunan Lot.
Assur also is joined with them: they have helped the children of Lot. (Selah)
9 Perlakukanlah mereka seperti orang Midian, seperti Sisera dan Yabin di Sungai Kison,
Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:
10 yang sudah dibinasakan di Endor, dan menjadi pupuk untuk tanah.
Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth.
11 Perlakukanlah pemimpin mereka seperti Oreb dan Zeeb, tundukkanlah penguasa mereka seperti Zebah dan Salmuna,
Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:
12 karena mereka telah berkata, "Mari kita duduki tanah kediaman Allah."
Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.
13 Ya Allah, hamburkanlah mereka seperti debu, seperti jerami yang ditiup angin.
O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.
14 Seperti api yang membakar hutan, nyala api yang menghanguskan gunung-gunung.
As the fire burns a wood, and as the flame sets the mountains on fire;
15 Kejarlah mereka dengan badai-Mu, kejutkan mereka dengan topan-Mu.
So persecute them with your tempest, and make them afraid with your storm.
16 Ya TUHAN, biarlah mereka dihina, supaya mereka mengakui kekuasaan-Mu.
Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek your name, O LORD.
17 Biarlah mereka selamanya dipermalukan dan ketakutan, biarlah mereka mati dalam kehinaan.
Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:
18 Semoga mereka tahu hanya Engkaulah Yang Mahatinggi, TUHAN, yang menguasai seluruh bumi.
That men may know that you, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, are the most high over all the earth.
