Mazmur 81
1 Untuk pemimpin biduan. Menurut lagu: Gitit. Dari Asaf. Bersorak-sorailah bagi Allah, kekuatan kita, bersorak-soraklah bagi Allah Yakub.
Unto the end. For the wine and oil presses. A Psalm of Asaph himself. Exult before God our helper. Sing joyfully to the God of Jacob.
2 Angkatlah lagu, bunyikanlah rebana, kecapi yang merdu, diiringi gambus.
Take up a psalm, and bring forth the timbrel: a pleasing Psalter with stringed instruments.
3 Tiuplah sangkakala pada bulan baru, pada bulan purnama, pada hari raya kita.
Sound the trumpet at the new moon, on the noteworthy day of your solemnity,
4 Sebab hal itu adalah suatu ketetapan bagi Israel, suatu hukum dari Allah Yakub.
for it is a precept in Israel and a judgment for the God of Jacob.
5 Sebagai suatu peringatan bagi Yusuf ditetapkan-Nya hal itu, pada waktu Ia maju melawan tanah Mesir. Aku mendengar bahasa yang tidak kukenal:
He set it as a testimony with Joseph, when he went out of the land of Egypt. He heard a tongue that he did not know.
6 "Aku telah mengangkat beban dari bahunya, tangannya telah bebas dari keranjang pikulan;
He turned the burdens away from his back. His hands had been a slave to baskets.
7 dalam kesesakan engkau berseru, maka Aku meluputkan engkau; Aku menjawab engkau dalam persembunyian guntur, Aku telah menguji engkau dekat air Meriba. (Sela)
You called upon me in tribulation, and I freed you. I heard you within the hidden tempest. I tested you with waters of contradiction.
8 Dengarlah hai umat-Ku, Aku hendak memberi peringatan kepadamu; hai Israel, jika engkau mau mendengarkan Aku!
My people, listen and I will call you to testify. If, O Israel, you will pay heed to me,
9 Janganlah ada di antaramu allah lain, dan janganlah engkau menyembah kepada allah asing.
then there will be no new god among you, nor will you adore a foreign god.
10 Akulah TUHAN, Allahmu, yang menuntun engkau keluar dari tanah Mesir: bukalah mulutmu lebar-lebar, maka Aku akan membuatnya penuh.
For I am the Lord your God, who led you out of the land of Egypt. Widen your mouth, and I will fill it.
11 Tetapi umat-Ku tidak mendengarkan suara-Ku, dan Israel tidak suka kepada-Ku.
But my people did not hear my voice, and Israel was not attentive to me.
12 Sebab itu Aku membiarkan dia dalam kedegilan hatinya; biarlah mereka berjalan mengikuti rencananya sendiri!
And so, I sent them away, according to the desires of their heart. They will go forth according to their own inventions.
13 Sekiranya umat-Ku mendengarkan Aku! Sekiranya Israel hidup menurut jalan yang Kutunjukkan!
If my people had heard me, if Israel had walked in my ways,
14 Seketika itu juga musuh mereka Aku tundukkan, dan terhadap para lawan mereka Aku balikkan tangan-Ku.
I would have humbled their enemies, as if it were nothing, and I would have sent my hand upon those who troubled them.
15 Orang-orang yang membenci TUHAN akan tunduk menjilat kepada-Nya, dan itulah nasib mereka untuk selama-lamanya.
The enemies of the Lord have lied to him, and their time will come, in every age.
16 Tetapi umat-Ku akan Kuberi makan gandum yang terbaik dan dengan madu dari gunung batu Aku akan mengenyangkannya."
And he fed them from the fat of the grain, and he saturated them with honey from the rock.
