Mazmur 102
1 Doa seorang sengsara, pada waktu ia lemah lesu dan mencurahkan pengaduhannya ke hadapan TUHAN. TUHAN, dengarkanlah doaku, dan biarlah teriakku minta tolong sampai kepada-Mu.
Yahweh, listen to what I am praying; hear me while I cry out to you!
2 Janganlah sembunyikan wajah-Mu terhadap aku pada hari aku tersesak. Sendengkanlah telinga-Mu kepadaku; pada hari aku berseru, segeralah menjawab aku!
Do not (turn away/hide yourself) from me when I (have troubles/am distressed)! Listen to me, and answer me quickly now, when I am calling out to you!
3 Sebab hari-hariku habis seperti asap, tulang-tulangku membara seperti perapian.
My life is ending, like smoke that disappears [SIM]; I have [a high fever which] burns my body like a fire burns [SIM].
4 Hatiku terpukul dan layu seperti rumput, sehingga aku lupa makan rotiku.
[I feel like] I am drying up like grass [SIM] that has been beaten/trampled down, and I no longer have a desire to eat food.
5 Oleh sebab keluhanku yang nyaring, aku tinggal tulang-belulang.
I groan loudly, and my bones can be seen under my skin [because I have become very thin].
6 Aku sudah menyerupai burung undan di padang gurun, sudah menjadi seperti burung ponggok pada reruntuhan.
I am like a [lonely and despised] vulture in the desert, like an owl by itself in the abandoned ruins [of a building/city].
7 Aku tak bisa tidur dan sudah menjadi seperti burung terpencil di atas sotoh.
I lie awake [at night]; [because there is no one to comfort me], I am like a lonely bird [sitting] on a housetop [SIM].
8 Sepanjang hari aku dicela oleh musuh-musuhku, orang-orang yang mempermainkan aku menyumpah dengan menyebut namaku.
All during the day my enemies insult me; those who make fun of me mention my name [and say, “May you be like him”] when they curse people.
9 Sebab aku makan abu seperti roti, dan mencampur minumanku dengan tangisan,
Because you are very angry [DOU] with me, now [I sit in] ashes [while I am suffering greatly]; and those ashes [fall on] the bread/food that I eat, and what I drink has my tears mixed with it. [It is as though] you have picked me up and thrown me away!
10 oleh karena marah-Mu dan geram-Mu, sebab Engkau telah mengangkat aku dan melemparkan aku.
11 Hari-hariku seperti bayang-bayang memanjang, dan aku sendiri layu seperti rumput.
My time to remain alive is like an evening shadow [that will soon be gone] [SIM]. I am withering like grass withers [in the hot sun].
12 Tetapi Engkau, ya TUHAN, bersemayam untuk selama-lamanya, dan nama-Mu tetap turun-temurun.
But Yahweh, you are our king who rules [MTY] forever; people who are not yet born will remember you.
13 Engkau sendiri akan bangun, akan menyayangi Sion, sebab sudah waktunya untuk mengasihaninya, sudah tiba saatnya.
You will arise and be merciful to [the people of] [MTY] Jerusalem; it is now time for you to do that; this is the time for you to be kind to them.
14 Sebab hamba-hamba-Mu sayang kepada batu-batunya, dan merasa kasihan akan debunya.
Even though (the city has been destroyed/our enemies have destroyed our city), we who serve you still love the stones that [were formerly] in the city walls; because now there is rubble everywhere, we, your people, are very sad when we see it.
15 Maka bangsa-bangsa menjadi takut akan nama TUHAN, dan semua raja bumi akan kemuliaan-Mu,
Yahweh, [some day the people of other] nations will revere you [MTY]; all the kings on earth will see that you are very glorious/great.
16 bila TUHAN sudah membangun Sion, sudah menampakkan diri dalam kemuliaan-Nya,
You will rebuild Jerusalem, and you will appear there with your glory/brightness.
17 sudah berpaling mendengarkan doa orang-orang yang bulus, dan tidak memandang hina doa mereka.
You will listen to the prayers of your people who are homeless, and you will (not ignore them/do what they request) [LIT] when they plead with you to help them.
18 Biarlah hal ini dituliskan bagi angkatan yang kemudian, dan bangsa yang diciptakan nanti akan memuji-muji TUHAN,
Yahweh, [I want to] write these words in order that people in future years [will know what] you have done, in order that people who are not born yet will praise you.
19 sebab Ia telah memandang dari ketinggian-Nya yang kudus, TUHAN memandang dari sorga ke bumi,
They will know that you looked down from your holy/sacred place in heaven [DOU] and saw [what was happening on] the earth.
20 untuk mendengar keluhan orang tahanan, untuk membebaskan orang-orang yang ditentukan mati dibunuh,
They will know that you hear prisoners groaning and that you will set free those who have been told, “You will be executed.”
21 supaya nama TUHAN diceritakan di Sion, dan Dia dipuji-puji di Yerusalem,
As a result, people in Jerusalem will praise you [DOU] for what you [have done]
22 apabila berkumpul bersama-sama bangsa-bangsa dan kerajaan-kerajaan untuk beribadah kepada TUHAN.
when many people [from other people-groups] and [those who are citizens of other] kingdoms gather to worship you.
23 Ia telah mematahkan kekuatanku di jalan, dan memperpendek umurku.
[But now] you have caused me to become weak while I am still young; [I think that] I will (not live much longer/ very long/soon die).
24 Aku berkata: "Ya Allahku, janganlah mengambil aku pada pertengahan umurku! Tahun-tahun-Mu tetap turun-temurun!"
I say to you, “My God, do not cause me to die now, before I become old! You live forever!
25 Dahulu sudah Kauletakkan dasar bumi, dan langit adalah buatan tangan-Mu.
You created the world long ago, and you made (the heavens/everything in the sky) with your own hands.
26 Semuanya itu akan binasa, tetapi Engkau tetap ada, dan semuanya itu akan menjadi usang seperti pakaian, seperti jubah Engkau akan mengubah mereka, dan mereka berubah;
The earth and the heavens/sky will disappear, but you will remain. They will wear out like clothes wear out. You will get rid of them like [people get rid of] old clothes, and they will no longer exist,
27 tetapi Engkau tetap sama, dan tahun-tahun-Mu tidak berkesudahan.
but you are [not like the things that you created], [because you are] always the same; you never die.
28 Anak hamba-hamba-Mu akan diam dengan tenteram, dan anak cucu mereka akan tetap ada di hadapan-Mu.
[Some day] our children will live safely [in Jerusalem], and their descendants will be protected in your presence.”
