Mazmur 68
1 Untuk pemimpin biduan. Mazmur Daud. Nyanyian. Allah bangkit, maka terseraklah musuh-musuh-Nya, orang-orang yang membenci Dia melarikan diri dari hadapan-Nya.
TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM. A SONG OF DAVID. God rises [and] His enemies are scattered! And those hating Him flee from His face.
2 Seperti asap hilang tertiup, seperti lilin meleleh di depan api, demikianlah orang-orang fasik binasa di hadapan Allah.
You drive them away as the driving away of smoke, As the melting of wax before fire, The wicked perish at the presence of God.
3 Tetapi orang-orang benar bersukacita, mereka beria-ria di hadapan Allah, bergembira dan bersukacita.
And the righteous rejoice, they exult before God, And they rejoice with gladness.
4 Bernyanyilah bagi Allah, mazmurkanlah nama-Nya, buatlah jalan bagi Dia yang berkendaraan melintasi awan-awan! Nama-Nya ialah TUHAN; beria-rialah di hadapan-Nya!
Sing to God—praise His Name, Raise up a highway for Him who is riding in deserts, In YAH [is] His Name, and exult before Him.
5 Bapa bagi anak yatim dan Pelindung bagi para janda, itulah Allah di kediaman-Nya yang kudus;
Father of the fatherless, and judge of the widows, [Is] God in His holy habitation.
6 Allah memberi tempat tinggal kepada orang-orang sebatang kara, Ia mengeluarkan orang-orang tahanan, sehingga mereka bahagia, tetapi pemberontak-pemberontak tinggal di tanah yang gundul.
God—causing the lonely to dwell at home, Bringing out bound ones into prosperity, Only—the stubborn have inhabited a dry place.
7 Ya Allah, ketika Engkau maju berperang di depan umat-Mu, ketika Engkau melangkah di padang belantara, (Sela)
O God, in Your going forth before Your people, In Your stepping through the wilderness, (Selah)
8 bergoncanglah bumi, bahkan langit mencurahkan hujan di hadapan Allah; Sinai bergoyang di hadapan Allah, Allah Israel.
The earth has shaken, Indeed, the heavens have dropped before God, This Sinai—before God, the God of Israel.
9 Hujan yang melimpah Engkau siramkan, ya Allah; Engkau memulihkan tanah milik-Mu yang gersang,
You shake out a shower of free-will gifts, O God. Your inheritance, when it has been weary, You have established it.
10 sehingga kawanan hewan-Mu menetap di sana; dalam kebaikan-Mu Engkau memenuhi kebutuhan orang yang tertindas, ya Allah.
Your creature has dwelt in it, You prepare for the poor in Your goodness, O God.
11 Tuhan menyampaikan sabda; orang-orang yang membawa kabar baik itu merupakan tentara yang besar:
The Lord gives the saying, The female proclaimers [are] a numerous host.
12 Raja-raja segala tentara melarikan diri, melarikan diri, dan perempuan di rumah membagi-bagi jarahan.
Kings of hosts utterly flee away, And a female inhabitant of the house apportions spoil.
13 Maukah kamu berbaring di antara kandang-kandang? Sayap-sayap merpati bersalut dengan perak, bulu kepaknya dengan emas berkilau-kilauan.
Though you lie between two boundaries, Wings of a dove covered with silver, And her pinions with yellow gold.
14 Ketika Yang Mahakuasa menyerakkan raja-raja di sana, turunlah salju di atas gunung Zalmon.
When the Mighty spreads kings in it, it snows in Salmon.
15 Gunung Allah gunung Basan itu, gunung yang berpuncak banyak gunung Basan itu!
A hill of God [is] the hill of Bashan, A hill of heights [is] the hill of Bashan.
16 Hai gunung-gunung yang berpuncak banyak, mengapa kamu menjeling cemburu, kepada gunung yang dikehendaki Allah menjadi tempat kedudukan-Nya? Sesungguhnya TUHAN akan diam di sana untuk seterusnya!
Why do you envy, O high hills, The hill God has desired for His seat? YHWH also dwells forever.
17 Kereta-kereta Allah puluhan ribu, bahkan beribu-ribu banyaknya; Tuhan telah datang dari Sinai, masuk ke tempat kudus!
The chariots of God [are] myriads, thousands of changes, The Lord [is] among them, in Sinai, in the sanctuary.
18 Engkau telah naik ke tempat tinggi, telah membawa tawanan-tawanan; Engkau telah menerima persembahan-persembahan di antara manusia, bahkan dari pemberontak-pemberontak untuk diam di sana, ya TUHAN Allah.
You have ascended on high, You have taken captivity captive, You have taken gifts for men, That even the stubborn may rest, O YAH God.
19 Terpujilah Tuhan! Hari demi hari Ia menanggung bagi kita; Allah adalah keselamatan kita. (Sela)
Blessed [is] the Lord, day by day He lays on us. God Himself [is] our salvation. (Selah)
20 Allah bagi kita adalah Allah yang menyelamatkan, ALLAH, Tuhanku, memberi keluputan dari maut.
God Himself [is] to us a God for deliverances, And YHWH Lord has the outgoings of death.
21 Sesungguhnya, Allah meremukkan kepala musuh-Nya, tempurung kepala yang berambut dari orang yang tetap hidup dalam kesalahan-kesalahannya.
Only—God strikes The head of His enemies, The hairy crown of a habitual walker in his guilt.
22 Tuhan telah berfirman: "Dari Basan akan Kubawa kembali, akan Kubawa kembali dari tempat yang dalam,
The Lord said: “From Bashan I bring back, I bring back from the depths of the sea.
23 supaya engkau membasuh kakimu dalam darah, dan lidah anjing-anjingmu mendapat bagiannya dari pada musuh."
So that you dash your foot In the blood of enemies—the tongue of Your dogs.”
24 Orang melihat perarakan-Mu, ya Allah, perarakan Allahku, Rajaku, ke dalam tempat kudus.
They have seen Your goings, O God, Goings of my God, my king, in the sanctuary.
25 Di depan berjalan penyanyi-penyanyi, di belakang pemetik-pemetik kecapi, di tengah-tengah dayang-dayang yang memalu rebana.
Singers have been before, Behind [are] players on instruments, Virgins playing with timbrels in the midst.
26 "Dalam jemaah pujilah Allah, yakni TUHAN, hai kamu yang berasal dari sumber Israel!"
In assemblies bless God, The Lord—from the fountain of Israel.
27 Itu Benyamin, yang bungsu, yang berjalan di depan mereka, pemuka-pemuka Yehuda berbondong-bondong, pemuka-pemuka Zebulon, pemuka-pemuka Naftali.
There [is] little Benjamin, their ruler, Heads of Judah their defense, Heads of Zebulun—heads of Naphtali.
28 Kerahkanlah kekuatan-Mu, ya Allah, tunjukkanlah kekuatan-Mu, ya Allah, Engkau yang telah bertindak bagi kami.
Your God has commanded your strength, Be strong, O God, You have worked this for us.
29 Demi bait-Mu di Yerusalem, raja-raja menyampaikan persembahan kepada-Mu.
Because of Your temple at Jerusalem, Kings bring a present to You.
30 Hardiklah binatang-binatang di teberau, kawanan orang-orang kuat, penguasa-penguasa bangsa-bangsa! Injaklah mereka yang mengejar perak; serakkanlah bangsa-bangsa yang suka berperang!
Rebuke a beast of the reeds, a herd of bulls, With calves of the peoples, Each humbling himself with pieces of silver, You scatter peoples delighting in conflicts.
31 Dari Mesir orang membawa barang-barang tembaga, Etiopia bersegera mengulurkan tangannya kepada Allah.
Fat ones come out of Egypt, Cush causes her hands to run to God.
32 Hai kerajaan-kerajaan bumi, menyanyilah bagi Allah, bermazmurlah bagi Tuhan; (Sela)
Kingdoms of the earth, sing to God, Praise the Lord! (Selah)
33 bagi Dia yang berkendaraan melintasi langit purbakala. Perhatikanlah, Ia memperdengarkan suara-Nya, suara-Nya yang dahsyat!
To Him who is riding on the heavens of the heavens of old, Behold, He gives with His voice a strong voice.
34 Akuilah kekuasaan Allah; kemegahan-Nya ada di atas Israel, kekuasaan-Nya di dalam awan-awan.
Ascribe strength to God, His excellence [is] over Israel, and His strength in the clouds.
35 Allah adalah dahsyat dari dalam tempat kudus-Nya; Allah Israel, Dia mengaruniakan kekuasaan dan kekuatan kepada umat-Nya. Terpujilah Allah!
Fearful, O God, out of Your sanctuaries, The God of Israel Himself, Giving strength and might to the people. Blessed [is] God!
