< Mazmur 83 >

1 Mazmur Asaf: sebuah nyanyian. Ya Allah, janganlah membisu, jangan berpangku tangan dan tinggal diam.
“A psalm of Asaph.” O God! keep not silence! Hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God!
2 Lihatlah, musuh-Mu bergolak, orang-orang yang membenci Engkau berontak.
For, lo! thine enemies roar, And they who hate thee lift up their heads.
3 Mereka membuat rencana licik melawan umat-Mu; dan berunding melawan orang-orang yang Kaulindungi.
For they form secret plots against thy people, And consult together against thy chosen ones.
4 Kata mereka, "Mari kita hancurkan bangsa Israel, supaya nama mereka tidak diingat lagi."
“Come,” say they, “let us blot them out from the number of the nations, That the name of Israel may no more be remembered!”
5 Bangsa-bangsa telah bersekutu, dan bermupakat melawan Engkau:
With one consent they consult together, Against thee do they form a league, —
6 bangsa Edom dan Ismael, orang-orang Moab dan Hagar;
The tents 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.
The Assyrians also are joined with them; They lend their strength to the children of Lot.
9 Perlakukanlah mereka seperti orang Midian, seperti Sisera dan Yabin di Sungai Kison,
Do to them as to the Midianites, As to Sisera, as to Jabin at the brook Kison,
10 yang sudah dibinasakan di Endor, dan menjadi pupuk untuk tanah.
Who perished at Endor, And were trampled like dung to the earth.
11 Perlakukanlah pemimpin mereka seperti Oreb dan Zeeb, tundukkanlah penguasa mereka seperti Zebah dan Salmuna,
Make their chiefs like Oreb and Zeeb; Yea, all their princes as Zeba and Zalmunna!
12 karena mereka telah berkata, "Mari kita duduki tanah kediaman Allah."
Who say, “Let us seize on God's habitations!”
13 Ya Allah, hamburkanlah mereka seperti debu, seperti jerami yang ditiup angin.
Make them, O my God! like whirling chaff; Like stubble before the wind!
14 Seperti api yang membakar hutan, nyala api yang menghanguskan gunung-gunung.
As fire consumeth the forest, And as flame setteth the mountains in a blaze,
15 Kejarlah mereka dengan badai-Mu, kejutkan mereka dengan topan-Mu.
So pursue them with thy tempest, And terrify them with thy storm!
16 Ya TUHAN, biarlah mereka dihina, supaya mereka mengakui kekuasaan-Mu.
Cover their faces with shame, That they may seek thy name, O LORD!
17 Biarlah mereka selamanya dipermalukan dan ketakutan, biarlah mereka mati dalam kehinaan.
Let them be confounded! Yea, let them be put to shame, and perish!
18 Semoga mereka tahu hanya Engkaulah Yang Mahatinggi, TUHAN, yang menguasai seluruh bumi.
That they may know that thy name alone is Jehovah; That thou art the Most High over all the earth.
