Mazmur 71
1 Pada-Mu, ya TUHAN, aku berlindung, janganlah sekali-kali aku mendapat malu.
Yahweh, I have come to you to (get refuge/be protected); never allow me to become ashamed [because of being defeated].
2 Lepaskanlah aku dan luputkanlah aku oleh karena keadilan-Mu, sendengkanlah telinga-Mu kepadaku dan selamatkanlah aku!
Because you always do what is right, help me and rescue me; listen to me, and save me!
3 Jadilah bagiku gunung batu, tempat berteduh, kubu pertahanan untuk menyelamatkan aku; sebab Engkaulah bukit batuku dan pertahananku.
Be [like an overhanging] rock [MET] under which I [can be] safe/protected; [be like] a strong fortress in which I am safe [DOU]. You [continually] command (OR, [Continually] command) [your angels] to rescue me.
4 Ya Allahku, luputkanlah aku dari tangan orang fasik, dari cengkeraman orang-orang lalim dan kejam.
God, rescue me from wicked [people], from the power of unjust and evil men.
5 Sebab Engkaulah harapanku, ya Tuhan, kepercayaanku sejak masa muda, ya ALLAH.
Yahweh, my Lord, you are the one whom I confidently expect [to help me]; I have trusted in you since I was young.
6 Kepada-Mulah aku bertopang mulai dari kandungan, Engkau telah mengeluarkan aku dari perut ibuku; Engkau yang selalu kupuji-puji.
I have depended on you all my life; you have taken care of me [IDM] since the day that I was born, [so] I will always praise you.
7 Bagi banyak orang aku seperti tanda ajaib, karena Engkaulah tempat perlindunganku yang kuat.
The manner in which I have conducted my life has been an example to many [people], because [they realize that] you have been my strong defender.
8 Mulutku penuh dengan puji-pujian kepada-Mu, dengan penghormatan kepada-Mu sepanjang hari.
I praise you all day long, and I proclaim that you are glorious/wonderful.
9 Janganlah membuang aku pada masa tuaku, janganlah meninggalkan aku apabila kekuatanku habis.
Now, when I have become an old man, do not reject/abandon me; do not abandon me now, when I am not strong any more.
10 Sebab musuh-musuhku berkata-kata tentang aku, orang-orang yang mengincar nyawaku berunding bersama-sama
My enemies say [that they want to kill] me; they plan together [how they can do that].
11 dan berkata: "Allah telah meninggalkan dia, kejar dan tangkaplah dia, sebab tidak ada yang melepaskan dia!"
They say [about me], “God has abandoned him; so now we can pursue him and seize him, because there is no one who will rescue him.”
12 Ya Allah, janganlah jauh dari padaku! Allahku, segeralah menolong aku!
God, do not stay far away from me; hurry to help me!
13 Biarlah mendapat malu dan menjadi habis orang-orang yang memusuhi jiwaku; biarlah berselubungkan cela dan noda orang-orang yang mengikhtiarkan celakaku!
Cause those who (accuse me/say that I have done things that are wrong) to be defeated and destroyed; cause those who want to harm me to be shamed and disgraced.
14 Tetapi aku senantiasa mau berharap dan menambah puji-pujian kepada-Mu;
But [as for me], I will continually and confidently expect [you to do great things for me], and I will praise you more and more.
15 mulutku akan menceritakan keadilan-Mu dan keselamatan yang dari pada-Mu sepanjang hari, sebab aku tidak dapat menghitungnya.
I will tell people that you do what is right; all day long I will tell people how you have saved me, although what you have done is more than I can fully understand.
16 Aku datang dengan keperkasaan-keperkasaan Tuhan ALLAH, hendak memasyhurkan hanya keadilan-Mu saja!
Yahweh, my Lord, I will praise you for your mighty deeds; I will proclaim that only you always act justly.
17 Ya Allah, Engkau telah mengajar aku sejak kecilku, dan sampai sekarang aku memberitakan perbuatan-Mu yang ajaib;
God, you have taught me [many/those things] ever since I was young, and I still tell people about your wonderful deeds.
18 juga sampai masa tuaku dan putih rambutku, ya Allah, janganlah meninggalkan aku, supaya aku memberitakan kuasa-Mu kepada angkatan ini, keperkasaan-Mu kepada semua orang yang akan datang.
And now, God, when I am old and my hair is gray, do not abandon me. [Stay with me] while I continue to proclaim to my children and grandchildren [HYP] that you are [very] powerful!
19 Keadilan-Mu, ya Allah, sampai ke langit. Engkau yang telah melakukan hal-hal yang besar, ya Allah, siapakah seperti Engkau?
God, you do many righteous deeds; [it is as though] they extend up to the sky. You have done great things; there is no one like you [RHQ].
20 Engkau yang telah membuat aku mengalami banyak kesusahan dan malapetaka, Engkau akan menghidupkan aku kembali, dan dari samudera raya bumi Engkau akan menaikkan aku kembali.
You have caused me to have many troubles and to suffer much, [but] you will cause me to become strong again; when I am almost dead [HYP], you will keep me alive.
21 Engkau akan menambah kebesaranku dan akan berpaling menghibur aku.
You will cause me to be greatly honored and you will encourage/comfort me again.
22 Akupun mau menyanyikan syukur bagi-Mu dengan gambus atas kesetiaan-Mu, ya Allahku, menyanyikan mazmur bagi-Mu dengan kecapi, ya Yang Kudus Israel.
I will also praise you [while I play] my harp; I will praise you, my God, for faithfully [doing what you have promised to do]. I will play hymns to praise you, the holy God whom [we] Israelis [worship].
23 Bibirku bersorak-sorai sementara menyanyikan mazmur bagi-Mu, juga jiwaku yang telah Kaubebaskan.
I [SYN] will shout joyfully while I play [the harp] for you; with my entire inner being I will sing because you have rescued me.
24 Lidahku juga menyebut-nyebut keadilan-Mu sepanjang hari, sebab akan mendapat malu dan tersipu-sipu orang-orang yang mengikhtiarkan celakaku.
All day long I will tell people that you act righteously, because those who wanted to harm me will have been defeated and disgraced.
