Mazmur 83
1 Mazmur Asaf: suatu nyanyian. Ya Allah, janganlah Engkau bungkam, janganlah berdiam diri dan janganlah berpangku tangan, ya Allah!
[A song. A Psalm by Asaph.] God, do not be silent. Do not be deaf, and do not be inactive, God.
2 Sebab sesungguhnya musuh-musuh-Mu ribut, orang-orang yang membenci Engkau meninggikan kepala.
For, look, your enemies make an uproar. Those who hate you are hostile.
3 Mereka mengadakan permufakatan licik melawan umat-Mu, dan mereka berunding untuk melawan orang-orang yang Kaulindungi.
They devise crafty plans against your people, and conspire together against your treasured ones.
4 Kata mereka: "Marilah kita lenyapkan mereka sebagai bangsa, sehingga nama Israel tidak diingat lagi!"
They say, "Come, and let us annihilate them as a nation; let the name of Israel may be remembered no more."
5 Sungguh, mereka telah berunding dengan satu hati, mereka telah mengadakan perjanjian melawan Engkau:
For they plot a unified strategy; they make a covenant against you;
6 Penghuni kemah-kemah Edom dan orang Ismael, Moab dan orang Hagar,
the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab, and the Hagrites,
7 Gebal dan Amon dan Amalek, Filistea beserta penduduk Tirus,
Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek, Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre.
8 juga Asyur telah bergabung dengan mereka, menjadi kaki tangan bani Lot. (Sela)
Assyria too is joined with them; they lend support to the descendants of Lot. (Selah)
9 Perlakukanlah mereka seperti Midian, seperti Sisera, seperti Yabin dekat sungai Kison,
Do to them as you did to Midian, as to Sisera, as to Jabin at the Kishon River,
10 yang sudah dipunahkan di En-Dor, menjadi pupuk bagi tanah.
who were destroyed at Endor, who became manure for the ground.
11 Buatlah para pemuka mereka seperti Oreb dan Zeeb, seperti Zebah dan Salmuna semua pemimpin mereka,
Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
12 yang berkata: "Marilah kita menduduki tempat-tempat kediaman Allah!"
who said, "Let us take possession for ourselves the pastures of God."
13 Ya Allahku, buatlah mereka seperti dedak yang beterbangan, seperti jerami yang ditiup angin!
My God, make them like tumbleweed; like dead weeds blown by the wind.
14 Seperti api yang membakar hutan, dan seperti nyala api yang menghanguskan gunung-gunung,
Like a fire that consumes a forest, and like the flames that consume the mountains,
15 kejarlah mereka dengan badai-Mu, dan kejutkanlah mereka dengan puting beliung-Mu;
so pursue them with your gale winds, and terrify them with your storm.
16 penuhilah muka mereka dengan kehinaan, supaya mereka mencari nama-Mu, ya TUHAN!
Cover their faces with shame, so that they might seek your name, LORD.
17 Biarlah mereka mendapat malu dan terkejut selama-lamanya; biarlah mereka tersipu-sipu dan binasa,
Let them be put to shame and terrified forever; let them perish in disgrace,
18 supaya mereka tahu bahwa Engkau sajalah yang bernama TUHAN, Yang Mahatinggi atas seluruh bumi.
that they will know that you alone, whose name is the LORD, are the Most High over all the earth.
