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, don’t keep silent. Don’t keep silent, and don’t be still, God.
2 Sebab sesungguhnya musuh-musuh-Mu ribut, orang-orang yang membenci Engkau meninggikan kepala.
For, behold, your enemies are stirred up. Those who hate you have lifted up their heads.
3 Mereka mengadakan permufakatan licik melawan umat-Mu, dan mereka berunding untuk melawan orang-orang yang Kaulindungi.
They conspire with cunning against your people. They plot against your cherished ones.
4 Kata mereka: "Marilah kita lenyapkan mereka sebagai bangsa, sehingga nama Israel tidak diingat lagi!"
“Come,” they say, “let’s destroy them as a nation, that 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 have conspired together with one mind. They form an alliance 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 also is joined with them. They have helped the children 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 river Kishon;
10 yang sudah dipunahkan di En-Dor, menjadi pupuk bagi tanah.
who perished at Endor, who became as dung for the earth.
11 Buatlah para pemuka mereka seperti Oreb dan Zeeb, seperti Zebah dan Salmuna semua pemimpin mereka,
Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, yes, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
12 yang berkata: "Marilah kita menduduki tempat-tempat kediaman Allah!"
who said, “Let’s take possession of God’s pasture lands.”
13 Ya Allahku, buatlah mereka seperti dedak yang beterbangan, seperti jerami yang ditiup angin!
My God, make them like tumbleweed, like chaff before the wind.
14 Seperti api yang membakar hutan, dan seperti nyala api yang menghanguskan gunung-gunung,
As the fire that burns the forest, as the flame that sets the mountains on fire,
15 kejarlah mereka dengan badai-Mu, dan kejutkanlah mereka dengan puting beliung-Mu;
so pursue them with your tempest, and terrify them with your storm.
16 penuhilah muka mereka dengan kehinaan, supaya mereka mencari nama-Mu, ya TUHAN!
Fill their faces with confusion, that they may seek your name, LORD.
17 Biarlah mereka mendapat malu dan terkejut selama-lamanya; biarlah mereka tersipu-sipu dan binasa,
Let them be disappointed and dismayed forever. Yes, let them be confounded and perish;
18 supaya mereka tahu bahwa Engkau sajalah yang bernama TUHAN, Yang Mahatinggi atas seluruh bumi.
that they may know that you alone, whose name is the LORD, are the Most High over all the earth.
