2 Samuel 22
1 Daud mengatakan perkataan nyanyian ini kepada TUHAN pada waktu TUHAN telah melepaskan dia dari cengkeraman semua musuhnya dan dari cengkeraman Saul.
After Yahweh had rescued David from Saul and his other enemies, David sang a song to Yahweh.
2 Ia berkata: "Ya, TUHAN, bukit batuku, kubu pertahananku dan penyelamatku,
[This is what] he sang: Yahweh, you are like a [huge overhanging] rock [under which I can hide] [MET]; you are like my fortress, and you rescue me.
3 Allahku, gunung batuku, tempat aku berlindung, perisaiku, tanduk keselamatanku, kota bentengku, tempat pelarianku, juruselamatku; Engkau menyelamatkan aku dari kekerasan.
Yahweh, you protect me; you are like a shield; you are the powerful one [MET] who saves me; you are like a place where I (find refuge/am safe). You save me from those who act violently toward me.
4 Terpujilah TUHAN, seruku; maka akupun selamat dari pada musuhku.
I call out to you, Yahweh; you deserve to be praised, and you rescue me from my enemies.
5 Sesungguhnya gelora-gelora maut telah mengelilingi aku, banjir-banjir jahanam telah menimpa aku,
“almost died [PRS]; it was like [MET] a huge wave had crashed over me, and almost destroyed me like a flood.
6 tali-tali dunia orang mati telah membelit aku, perangkap-perangkap maut terpasang di depanku. (Sheol h7585)
I thought that I would die; it was as though death wrapped ropes around me; it was as though I was in a trap where I would surely die. [PRS, MET] (Sheol h7585)
7 Ketika aku dalam kesesakan, aku berseru kepada TUHAN, kepada Allahku aku berseru. Dan Ia mendengar suaraku dari bait-Nya, teriakku minta tolong masuk ke telinga-Nya.
But when I was (very distressed/in great trouble), I called out to you, Yahweh; I cried out to you, my God. And from your temple you heard me; you listened when I called to you to help me.
8 Lalu bergoyang dan bergoncanglah bumi, dasar-dasar langit gemetar dan bergoyang, oleh karena bernyala-nyala murka-Nya.
“Then [it was as though] the earth quaked and shook; [it was as though] the foundations that ([held up/supported]) the sky trembled, because you were angry.
9 Asap membubung dari hidung-Nya, api menjilat keluar dari mulut-Nya, bara menyala keluar dari pada-Nya.
[It was as though] smoke poured out of your nostrils and burning coals and fire that burns everything came out of your mouth.
10 Ia menekukkan langit, lalu turun, kekelaman ada di bawah kaki-Nya.
You tore open the sky and came down; there was a thick dark [cloud] under your feet.
11 Ia mengendarai kerub, lalu terbang, dan tampak di atas sayap angin.
You rode [through the sky] on a winged creature; the wind enabled you to travel [swiftly] [MET], like a bird.
12 Dan Ia membuat kegelapan di sekeliling-Nya menjadi pondok-Nya: air hujan yang gelap, awan yang tebal.
The darkness surrounded you, like a blanket; thick clouds that were full of water also surrounded you.
13 Karena sinar kilat di hadapan-Nya bara api menjadi menyala.
Out of the lightning in front of you fire from burning coals flamed.
14 TUHAN mengguntur dari langit, Yang Mahatinggi memperdengarkan suara-Nya.
Then, Yahweh, you spoke like thunder from the sky; it was your voice, God, you who are greater than all other gods, that was heard.
15 Dilepaskan-Nya panah-panah, sehingga diserakkan-Nya mereka, yakni kilat-kilat, sehingga dikacaukan-Nya mereka.
When you sent flashes of lightning, [it was as though] [MET] you shot your arrows and scattered your enemies.
16 Lalu kelihatanlah dasar-dasar laut, alas-alas dunia tersingkap karena hardikan TUHAN karena hembusan nafas dari hidung-Nya.
Then the bottom of the ocean was uncovered; the foundations of the world could be seen when you rebuked [your enemies] with a snort from your nostrils.
17 Ia menjangkau dari tempat tinggi, mengambil aku, menarik aku dari banjir.
“Yahweh, you reached down from heaven and lifted me up; you pulled me up from the deep water.
18 Ia melepaskan aku dari musuhku yang gagah, dari pada orang-orang yang membenci aku, karena mereka terlalu kuat bagiku.
You rescued me from my strong enemies, from those who hated me; [I could not defeat them because] they were very strong.
19 Mereka menghadang aku pada hari sialku, tetapi TUHAN adalah sandaran bagiku;
They attacked me when I was experiencing troubles/difficulties, but Yahweh, you protected me.
20 Ia membawa aku keluar ke tempat lapang, Ia menyelamatkan aku, karena Ia berkenan kepadaku.
You brought me to a place where I was safe; you rescued me because you were pleased with me.
21 TUHAN memperlakukan aku sesuai dengan kebenaranku; Ia membalas kepadaku sesuai dengan kesucian tanganku,
“Yahweh, you rewarded me because I do what is right; you did good things for me because I (was innocent/had not done things that are wrong).
22 sebab aku tetap mengikuti jalan TUHAN dan tidak menjauhkan diri dari Allahku sebagai orang fasik.
Yahweh, I have obeyed your laws; I have not turned away from you, my God.
23 Sebab segala hukum-Nya kuperhatikan, dan dari ketetapan-Nya aku tidak menyimpang;
All of your regulations were in my mind, and I did not turn away from [obeying] all your statutes.
24 aku berlaku tidak bercela kepada-Nya dan menjaga diri terhadap kesalahan.
You know that I have not done anything that is evil; I have kept myself from doing things for which I should be punished.
25 Karena itu TUHAN membalas kepadaku sesuai dengan kebenaranku, sesuai dengan kesucianku di depan mata-Nya.
So you have rewarded me in return for my doing what is right, because [you know that] I (am innocent of doing/have not done) wrong things.
26 Terhadap orang yang setia Engkau berlaku setia, terhadap orang yang tidak bercela Engkau berlaku tidak bercela,
“Yahweh, you are faithful/loyal to those who always trust in you; you always do what is good to those whose behavior is always good.
27 terhadap orang yang suci Engkau berlaku suci, tetapi terhadap orang yang bengkok Engkau berlaku belat-belit.
You act sincerely toward those whose inner beings are pure, but you are hostile to those who are perverse/wicked.
28 Bangsa yang tertindas Engkau selamatkan, tetapi mata-Mu melawan orang-orang yang tinggi hati, supaya mereka Kaurendahkan.
You rescue those who are humble, but you watch [MTY] those who are proud and humiliate them.
29 Karena Engkaulah pelitaku, ya TUHAN, dan TUHAN menyinari kegelapanku.
Yahweh, you are [like] [MET] a lamp that causes it to become light when I am in the dark.
30 Karena dengan Engkau aku berani menghadapi gerombolan, dengan Allahku aku berani melompati tembok.
With your strength/help I can run through a line of enemy soldiers and I can climb over the wall [that surrounds their city].
31 Adapun Allah, jalan-Nya sempurna; sabda TUHAN itu murni; Dia menjadi perisai bagi semua orang yang berlindung pada-Nya.
“My God whom I worship, everything that you do is perfect; you always do what you promise that you will do. You are like a shield [MET] to all those who request you to protect them.
32 Sebab siapakah Allah selain dari TUHAN, dan siapakah gunung batu selain dari Allah kita?
Yahweh, you are [RHQ] the only one who is God; only you are like a huge rock [MET] [under which we are protected/safe].
33 Allah, Dialah yang menjadi tempat pengungsianku yang kuat dan membuat jalanku rata;
God, you [whom I worship] are a strong refuge for me; you keep me safe on the roads that I [walk on].
34 yang membuat kakiku seperti kaki rusa dan membuat aku berdiri di bukit;
[When I walk] in the mountains, you enable me to walk safely, without stumbling [MET] like a deer runs.
35 yang mengajar tanganku berperang, sehingga lenganku dapat melengkungkan busur tembaga.
You teach me [how to fight] in a battle in order that I can shoot arrows well from a very strong bow.
36 Juga Kauberikan kepadaku perisai keselamatan-Mu, dan kebaikan-Mu telah membuat aku besar.
[It is as though] [MET] you have given me a shield by which you have saved/rescued me, and you have answered my prayers and caused me to become famous/great.
37 Kauberikan tempat lapang untuk langkahku, dan mata kakiku tidak goyah.
You have not allowed [my enemies] to capture me [IDM], and I have not fallen down [during battles].
38 Aku mengejar musuhku sampai mereka kupunahkan, dan tidak berbalik sebelum mereka kuhabiskan;
“pursued my enemies and defeated them; I did not stop [fighting them] until they were all killed.
39 aku menghabiskan dan meremukkan mereka, sehingga mereka tidak bangkit lagi, dan mereka rebah di bawah kakiku.
I struck them down; I stabbed them with my sword; they fell down at my feet and did not stand up again.
40 Engkau telah mengikat pinggangku dengan keperkasaan untuk berperang, Engkau tundukkan ke bawah kuasaku orang yang bangkit melawan aku.
You have given me strength for fighting battles and caused those who were attacking me to fall down, and I trampled on them.
41 Kaubuat musuhku lari dari padaku, orang-orang yang membenci aku, mereka kubinasakan.
You caused my enemies to turn and run away from me; I destroyed those who hated me.
42 Mereka berteriak minta tolong, tetapi tidak ada yang menyelamatkan, mereka berteriak kepada TUHAN, tetapi Ia tidak menjawab mereka.
They (looked for/wanted) someone to rescue them, but no one did. They cried out to you, Yahweh, [for help, ] but you did not answer them.
43 Aku menggiling mereka halus-halus seperti debu tanah, aku menumbuk mereka dan menginjak-injak mereka seperti lumpur di jalan.
I crushed them, and as a result they became like [SIM] tiny particles of dust. I trampled them, and they became like [SIM] mud in the streets.
44 Dan Engkau meluputkan aku dari perbantahan bangsaku; Engkau memelihara aku sebagai kepala atas bangsa-bangsa; bangsa yang tidak kukenal menjadi hambaku;
“You rescued me from those who tried to rebel [against me], and you appointed me to rule many nations; people whom I did not know previously are now (under my authority/my slaves).
45 orang-orang asing tunduk menjilat kepadaku, baru saja telinga mereka mendengar, mereka taat kepadaku.
Foreigners humbly bowed down in front of me; as soon as they heard about me, they obeyed me.
46 Orang-orang asing pucat layu dan keluar dari kota kubunya dengan gemetar.
They became afraid, and they came to me, trembling, from the places where they were hiding.
47 TUHAN hidup! Terpujilah gunung batuku, dan ditinggikanlah kiranya Allah gunung batu keselamatanku,
“Yahweh, you are alive! I praise you! You are like [MET] a [huge overhanging] rock under which I am safe/protected! You are the one who rescues me [MET]. Everyone should exalt/honor/praise you.
48 Allah, yang telah mengadakan pembalasan bagiku, yang telah membawa bangsa-bangsa ke bawah kuasaku,
You enable me to conquer my enemies; you cause people of [other] nations to be (under my authority/my slaves).
49 dan yang telah membebaskan aku dari pada musuhku. Dan Engkau telah meninggikan aku mengatasi mereka yang bangkit melawan aku; Engkau telah melepaskan aku dari para penindas.
You delivered me from my enemies; you caused me to be honored more than they were; you rescued me from men who [always] acted violently.
50 Sebab itu aku mau menyanyikan syukur bagi-Mu, ya TUHAN, di antara bangsa-bangsa, dan aku mau menyanyikan mazmur bagi nama-Mu.
Because of all that, I exalt you among many people-groups and I sing to praise you.
51 Ia mengaruniakan keselamatan yang besar kepada raja yang diangkat-Nya, dan menunjukkan kasih setia kepada orang yang diurapi-Nya, kepada Daud dan anak cucunya untuk selamanya."
You enable me, whom you appointed to be king, to powerfully conquer [my enemies]; you faithfully love me, David, and you will love my descendants forever.
