Mazmur 83
1 Mazmur Asaf: suatu nyanyian. Ya Allah, janganlah Engkau bungkam, janganlah berdiam diri dan janganlah berpangku tangan, ya Allah!
A canticle of a psalm for Asaph. O God, who shall be like to thee? hold not thy peace, neither be thou still, O God.
2 Sebab sesungguhnya musuh-musuh-Mu ribut, orang-orang yang membenci Engkau meninggikan kepala.
For lo, thy enemies have made a noise: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
3 Mereka mengadakan permufakatan licik melawan umat-Mu, dan mereka berunding untuk melawan orang-orang yang Kaulindungi.
They have taken a malicious counsel against thy people, and have consulted against thy saints.
4 Kata mereka: "Marilah kita lenyapkan mereka sebagai bangsa, sehingga nama Israel tidak diingat lagi!"
They have said: Come and let us destroy them, so that they be not a nation: and let the name of Israel be remembered no more.
5 Sungguh, mereka telah berunding dengan satu hati, mereka telah mengadakan perjanjian melawan Engkau:
For they have contrived with one consent: they have made a covenant together against thee,
6 Penghuni kemah-kemah Edom dan orang Ismael, Moab dan orang Hagar,
The tabernacles of the Edomites, and the Ismahelites: Moab, and the Agarens,
7 Gebal dan Amon dan Amalek, Filistea beserta penduduk Tirus,
Gebal, and Ammon and Amalec: the Philistines, with the inhabitants of Tyre.
8 juga Asyur telah bergabung dengan mereka, menjadi kaki tangan bani Lot. (Sela)
Yea, and the Assyrian also is joined with them: they are come to the aid of the sons of Lot.
9 Perlakukanlah mereka seperti Midian, seperti Sisera, seperti Yabin dekat sungai Kison,
Do to them as thou didst to Madian and to Sisara: as to Jabin at the brook of Cisson.
10 yang sudah dipunahkan di En-Dor, menjadi pupuk bagi tanah.
Who perished at Endor: and became as dung for the earth.
11 Buatlah para pemuka mereka seperti Oreb dan Zeeb, seperti Zebah dan Salmuna semua pemimpin mereka,
Make their princes like Oreb, and Zeb, and Zebee, and Salmana. All their princes,
12 yang berkata: "Marilah kita menduduki tempat-tempat kediaman Allah!"
Who have said: Let us possess the sanctuary of God for an inheritance.
13 Ya Allahku, buatlah mereka seperti dedak yang beterbangan, seperti jerami yang ditiup angin!
O my God, make them like a wheel; and as stubble before the wind.
14 Seperti api yang membakar hutan, dan seperti nyala api yang menghanguskan gunung-gunung,
As fire which burneth the wood: and as a flame burning mountains:
15 kejarlah mereka dengan badai-Mu, dan kejutkanlah mereka dengan puting beliung-Mu;
So shalt thou pursue them with thy tempest: and shalt trouble them in thy wrath.
16 penuhilah muka mereka dengan kehinaan, supaya mereka mencari nama-Mu, ya TUHAN!
Fill their faces with shame; and they shall seek thy name, O Lord.
17 Biarlah mereka mendapat malu dan terkejut selama-lamanya; biarlah mereka tersipu-sipu dan binasa,
Let them be ashamed and troubled for ever and ever: and let them be confounded and perish.
18 supaya mereka tahu bahwa Engkau sajalah yang bernama TUHAN, Yang Mahatinggi atas seluruh bumi.
And let them know that the Lord is thy name: thou alone art the most High over all the earth.
