Mazmur 109
1 Untuk pemimpin biduan. Mazmur Daud. Ya Allah pujianku, janganlah berdiam diri!
God, you are the one whom I praise, [So please] answer [my prayer],
2 Sebab mulut orang fasik dan mulut penipu ternganga terhadap aku, mereka berbicara terhadap aku dengan lidah dusta;
because wicked people slander me and tell [MTY] lies about me.
3 dengan kata-kata kebencian mereka menyerang aku dan memerangi aku tanpa alasan.
They are constantly saying that they hate me, and they say evil things about me for no reason.
4 Sebagai balasan terhadap kasihku mereka menuduh aku, sedang aku mendoakan mereka.
I show them that I want to be their friends and I pray for them, but [instead of being kind to me], they say that I have done evil things.
5 Mereka membalas kejahatan kepadaku ganti kebaikan dan kebencian ganti kasihku.
In return for my doing good things for them and loving them, they do evil things to me and hate me.
6 "Angkatlah seorang fasik atas dia, dan biarlah seorang pendakwa berdiri di sebelah kanannya;
They said, “Appoint a wicked [judge] who will judge him, and bring in one of his enemies who will stand up and accuse him.
7 apabila dihakimi, biarlah ia keluar sebagai orang bersalah, dan biarlah doanya menjadi dosa.
And cause that when the trial [ends], [the judge will] declare that he is guilty, and that [even] his prayer will be considered to be a sin.
8 Biarlah umurnya berkurang, biarlah jabatannya diambil orang lain.
[Then], cause that he will soon die and that someone else will have his job/work (OR, possessions).
9 Biarlah anak-anaknya menjadi yatim, dan isterinya menjadi janda.
Cause that his children will not have a father any more and that his wife will become a widow.
10 Biarlah anak-anaknya mengembara tidak keruan dan mengemis, dan dihalau dari reruntuhan rumahnya.
Cause that his children will be forced to leave the ruined homes that they have been living in and wander around begging for food.
11 Biarlah penagih hutang menyita segala kepunyaannya, dan orang-orang lain menjarah hasil jerih payahnya.
Cause that all the people to whom he owed money will seize all his property; Cause that strangers will take away everything that he worked to acquire.
12 Janganlah ada orang yang tetap menunjukkan kasihnya kepadanya, dan janganlah ada orang yang sayang kepada anak-anaknya yang menjadi yatim.
Cause that [while he is still living] no one will be kind to him, and [after he dies], cause that no one will pity his children.
13 Biarlah dilenyapkan keturunannya, dan dihapuskan namanya dalam angkatan yang kemudian.
Cause that all his descendants will die and that his grandchildren will not remember who he [MTY] was.
14 Biarlah kesalahan nenek moyangnya diingat-ingat di hadapan TUHAN, dan janganlah dihapuskan dosa ibunya.
Yahweh, remember [and do not forgive] his ancestors for the evil things that they did, and do not [even] forgive the sins that his mother committed;
15 Biarlah itu selalu diperhatikan TUHAN, supaya ingatan kepada mereka dilenyapkan dari bumi.
think about his sins continually, and cause that his name will be completely forgotten.
16 Oleh karena ia tidak ingat menunjukkan kasih, tetapi mengejar orang sengsara dan miskin dan orang yang hancur hati sampai mereka mati.
He never was kind to anyone; he (persecuted/cause problems for) poor and needy [people] and even killed helpless [people].
17 Ia cinta kepada kutuk--biarlah itu datang kepadanya; ia tidak suka kepada berkat--biarlah itu menjauh dari padanya.
He liked to curse [people]. [So] cause those terrible things that he requested to happen to others to happen to him! He did not want to bless [others], [so] cause that no one will bless him!
18 Ia memakai kutuk sebagai bajunya--biarlah itu merembes seperti air ke dalam dirinya, dan seperti minyak ke dalam tulang-tulangnya;
He cursed other people [as often/easily] as he put on his clothes [SIM]; cause that the terrible things that he wanted to happen to others will [happen to him and] enter his body like water [that he drinks] [SIM], like [olive] oil soaks into a person’s bones [when it is rubbed on his skin] [SIM].
19 biarlah itu baginya seperti pakaian yang dikenakannya, sebagai ikat pinggang yang senantiasa dipakainya.
Cause that those terrible things will cling to him like his clothes and be around him like the belt that he wears every day.”
20 Biarlah semuanya itu dari pihak TUHAN menjadi upah orang yang mendakwa aku, dan upah orang-orang yang berkata-kata jahat terhadap aku."
Yahweh, I want you to punish all my enemies that way, those who say evil things about me.
21 Tetapi Engkau, ya ALLAH, Tuhanku, bertindaklah kepadaku oleh karena nama-Mu, lepaskanlah aku oleh sebab kasih setia-Mu yang baik!
But Yahweh, my God, do good things for me in order that I may honor you; rescue me [from my enemies] because your faithfully loving me is good.
22 Sebab sengsara dan miskin aku, dan hatiku terluka dalam diriku;
[I ask you to do this] because I am poor and needy and my inner being is (full of pain/very troubled/discouraged).
23 aku menghilang seperti bayang-bayang pada waktu memanjang, aku dikebutkan seperti belalang.
[I think that] my time [to remain alive] is short, like an evening shadow [that will soon disappear] [SIM]. I will be blown away like a locust/grasshopper is blown [by the wind].
24 Lututku melentuk oleh sebab berpuasa, dan badanku menjadi kurus, habis lemaknya.
My knees are weak because I have (fasted/abstained from eating food) very often, and my body has become very thin.
25 Aku telah menjadi cela bagi mereka; melihat aku, mereka menggelengkan kepalanya.
The people who accuse me make fun of me; when they see me, they [insult me by] shaking their heads [at me as though I were an evil man].
26 Tolonglah aku, ya TUHAN, Allahku, selamatkanlah aku sesuai dengan kasih setia-Mu,
Yahweh, my God, help me! Because you faithfully love [me], rescue me!
27 supaya mereka tahu, bahwa tangan-Mulah ini, bahwa Engkaulah, ya TUHAN, yang telah melakukannya.
[When you save me], cause my enemies to know that you are the one who has done it!
28 Biar mereka mengutuk, Engkau akan memberkati; biarlah lawan-lawanku mendapat malu, tetapi hamba-Mu ini kiranya bersukacita.
They may curse me, but I ask that you bless me. Cause those who (persecute/cause problems for) me [to be defeated and as a result] to be disgraced/ashamed, and cause me to be glad/happy!
29 Biarlah orang-orang yang mendakwa aku berpakaikan noda, dan berselimutkan malunya sebagai jubah.
Cause those who accuse me to be completely disgraced; cause [other people to see] that they are disgraced, as [easily as they see] the clothes that they wear [SIM]!
30 Aku hendak bersyukur sangat kepada TUHAN dengan mulutku, dan aku hendak memuji-muji Dia di tengah-tengah orang banyak.
But I will thank Yahweh very greatly; I will praise him [when I am] among the crowd [of people who are worshiping him].
31 Sebab Ia berdiri di sebelah kanan orang miskin untuk menyelamatkannya dari orang-orang yang menghukumnya.
[I will do that] because he defends [MTY] needy [people like me], and saves us from those who have decided/declared that we must be executed.
