Mazmur 89
1 Nyanyian pengajaran Etan, orang Ezrahi. Aku hendak menyanyikan kasih setia TUHAN selama-lamanya, hendak memperkenalkan kesetiaan-Mu dengan mulutku turun-temurun.
Yahweh, I will sing forever about the ways you faithfully love me; people not yet born will hear that you faithfully [do all that you have promised].
2 Sebab kasih setia-Mu dibangun untuk selama-lamanya; kesetiaan-Mu tegak seperti langit.
I will tell people that you will faithfully love us forever, and that your being faithful [to do what you have promised] is as permanent as the sky.
3 Engkau telah berkata: "Telah Kuikat perjanjian dengan orang pilihan-Ku, Aku telah bersumpah kepada Daud, hamba-Ku:
Yahweh said, “I have made an agreement with David, whom I chose [to serve me]. I have made this solemn (agreement with/promise to) him:
4 Untuk selama-lamanya Aku hendak menegakkan anak cucumu, dan membangun takhtamu turun-temurun." (Sela)
‘I will enable various ones of your descendants to always be kings; the line of kings descended from you [MTY] will never end.’”
5 Sebab itu langit bersyukur karena keajaiban-keajaiban-Mu, ya TUHAN, bahkan karena kesetiaan-Mu di antara jemaah orang-orang kudus.
Yahweh, I desire that all [those beings who are in] [MTY] heaven will praise you for the wonderful things that you do, and that all your holy angels will sing about how you faithfully [do what you promise].
6 Sebab siapakah di awan-awan yang sejajar dengan TUHAN, yang sama seperti TUHAN di antara penghuni sorgawi?
There is no one [RHQ] in heaven who can be compared with you, Yahweh. There are no angels [RHQ] in heaven who are equal to you.
7 Allah disegani dalam kalangan orang-orang kudus, dan sangat ditakuti melebihi semua yang ada di sekeliling-Nya.
When your holy angels gather together, they declare that you must be revered; they say that you are more awesome than all the angels that surround your throne!
8 Ya TUHAN, Allah semesta alam, siapakah seperti Engkau? Engkau kuat, ya TUHAN, dan kesetiaan-Mu ada di sekeliling-Mu.
O Yahweh, God Almighty, there is no one [RHQ] who is powerful like you are; your faithfully doing [all that you promise] is [like a cloak that] [MET] [always] surrounds you.
9 Engkaulah yang memerintah kecongkakan laut, pada waktu naik gelombang-gelombangnya, Engkau juga yang meredakannya.
You rule over the powerful seas; when their waves rise up, you calm them.
10 Engkaulah yang meremukkan Rahab seperti orang terbunuh, dengan lengan-Mu yang kuat Engkau telah mencerai-beraikan musuh-Mu.
You are the one who crushed [and killed the great sea monster named] Rahab. You [defeated and] scattered your enemies with your great power [MTY].
11 Punya-Mulah langit, punya-Mulah juga bumi, dunia serta isinya Engkaulah yang mendasarkannya.
The heavens are yours, and the earth is yours; and everything on the earth is yours, because you created it all.
12 Utara dan selatan, Engkaulah yang menciptakannya, Tabor dan Hermon bersorak-sorai karena nama-Mu.
You created [everything from] the north to the south. Tabor [Mountain] and Hermon [Mountain] joyfully praise you [MTY].
13 Punya-Mulah lengan yang perkasa, kuat tangan-Mu dan tinggi tangan kanan-Mu.
(You/Your arms) are very powerful; (you/your hands) are extremely strong.
14 Keadilan dan hukum adalah tumpuan takhta-Mu, kasih dan kesetiaan berjalan di depan-Mu.
(Your rule [MTY] over us is based on/As you rule over us, you are always) treating people fairly and justly, and on/are always faithfully loving us and doing [what you promised].
15 Berbahagialah bangsa yang tahu bersorak-sorai, ya TUHAN, mereka hidup dalam cahaya wajah-Mu;
Yahweh, happy are the people who worship you with joyful shouts, who live knowing that you are always watching over them.
16 karena nama-Mu mereka bersorak-sorak sepanjang hari, dan karena keadilan-Mu mereka bermegah.
Every day, throughout the day, they rejoice in what you [MTY] [have done], and they praise you for being very good [to them].
17 Sebab Engkaulah kemuliaan kekuatan mereka, dan karena Engkau berkenan, tanduk kami meninggi.
You give us your glorious strength; because you act in our favor, we defeat [MET] [our enemies].
18 Sebab perisai kita kepunyaan TUHAN, dan raja kita kepunyaan Yang Kudus Israel.
Yahweh, you gave us [the one who] protects us [MET]; you, the holy God whom we Israelis worship, chose a king for us.
19 Pernah Engkau berbicara dalam penglihatan kepada orang-orang yang Kaukasihi, kata-Mu: "Telah Kutaruh mahkota di atas kepala seorang pahlawan, telah Kutinggikan seorang pilihan dari antara bangsa itu.
Long ago you spoke in a vision to one of your servants/prophets, saying, “I have helped a famous soldier; I chose him from among all the people to be a king.
20 Aku telah mendapat Daud, hamba-Ku; Aku telah mengurapinya dengan minyak-Ku yang kudus,
That man is David, the one who will serve me [faithfully], and I anointed him with sacred olive oil [to make him king].
21 maka tangan-Ku tetap dengan dia, bahkan lengan-Ku meneguhkan dia.
I [MTY] will always strengthen him; with my power [MTY] I will make him strong.
22 Musuh tidak akan menyergapnya, dan orang curang tidak akan menindasnya.
His enemies will never find ways to defeat him, and wicked people will never defeat him.
23 Aku akan menghancurkan lawannya dari hadapannya, dan orang-orang yang membencinya akan Kubunuh.
I will crush his enemies in front of him and get rid of those who hate him.
24 Kesetiaan-Ku dan kasih-Ku menyertai dia, dan oleh karena nama-Ku tanduknya akan meninggi.
I will always be loyal to him and faithfully love him and enable him to defeat [MET] [his enemies].
25 Aku akan membuat tangannya menguasai laut, dan tangan kanannya menguasai sungai-sungai.
I will cause (his kingdom/the area that he rules) to include all the land from the [Mediterranean] Sea to the [Euphrates] River.
26 Diapun akan berseru kepada-Ku: 'Bapaku Engkau, Allahku dan gunung batu keselamatanku.'
He will say to me, ‘You are my Father, my God, the one who protects [MET] and saves me.’
27 Akupun juga akan mengangkat dia menjadi anak sulung, menjadi yang mahatinggi di antara raja-raja bumi.
I will give him [the rights/privileges that a man’s] firstborn son has [MET]; he will be the greatest king on the earth.
28 Aku akan memelihara kasih setia-Ku bagi dia untuk selama-lamanya, dan perjanjian-Ku teguh bagi dia.
I will always be loyal to him, and my agreement [to bless] him will last forever.
29 Aku menjamin akan adanya anak cucunya sampai selama-lamanya, dan takhtanya seumur langit.
I will establish a line of his descendants that will never end, various ones of his descendants will always be kings.
30 Jika anak-anaknya meninggalkan Taurat-Ku dan mereka tidak hidup menurut hukum-Ku,
But, if [some of] his descendants disobey my laws, and do not not behave like my commands say that they should,
31 jika ketetapan-Ku mereka langgar dan tidak berpegang pada perintah-perintah-Ku,
if they disregard my requirements and do not do the right things that I have told them to do,
32 maka Aku akan membalas pelanggaran mereka dengan gada, dan kesalahan mereka dengan pukulan-pukulan.
I will punish them severely [MTY] and cause them to suffer for doing wrong.
33 Tetapi kasih setia-Ku tidak akan Kujauhkan dari padanya dan Aku tidak akan berlaku curang dalam hal kesetiaan-Ku.
But I will not stop faithfully loving [David], and I will always do what I promised him.
34 Aku tidak akan melanggar perjanjian-Ku, dan apa yang keluar dari bibir-Ku tidak akan Kuubah.
I will not break the agreement that I made with him; I will not change even one word that I spoke [to him].
35 Sekali Aku bersumpah demi kekudusan-Ku, tentulah Aku tidak akan berbohong kepada Daud:
Once I made a solemn promise to David, and that will never change, and because I am God, I will never lie to David.
36 Anak cucunya akan ada untuk selama-lamanya, dan takhtanya seperti matahari di depan mata-Ku,
[I promised that] the line of kings descended from him will go on forever; it will last as long as the sun [shines].
37 seperti bulan yang ada selama-lamanya, suatu saksi yang setia di awan-awan." (Sela)
That line will (be as permanent/last as long) as the moon that is always watching everything from the sky.
38 Tetapi Engkau sendiri menolak dan membuang, menjadi gemas kepada orang yang Kauurapi,
But [Yahweh], now you have rejected [DOU] David! You are very angry with the king whom you appointed.
39 membatalkan perjanjian dengan hamba-Mu, menajiskan mahkotanya laksana debu,
[It seems that] you have broken the agreement that you made with your servant, [David]; it seems as though you [have signaled that he is no longer the king by] throwing his crown into the dust/dirt.
40 melanda segala temboknya, membuat kubu-kubunya menjadi reruntuhan.
You have torn down the walls [that protect] his [city], and allowed all his forts to become ruins.
41 Semua orang yang lewat di jalan merampoknya, dan ia menjadi cela bagi tetangganya.
All those who pass by plunder/steal his possessions; his neighbors (laugh at/ridicule) him.
42 Engkau telah meninggikan tangan kanan para lawannya, telah membuat semua musuhnya bersukacita.
You have enabled his enemies to defeat him; you have made them all happy.
43 Juga Kaubalikkan mata pedangnya, dan tidak membuat dia dapat bertahan dalam peperangan.
You have caused his sword to become useless, and you have not helped him in his battles.
44 Engkau menghentikan kegemilangannya, dan takhtanya Kaucampakkan ke bumi.
You have caused his splendor to end (OR, You have taken away his power by knocking his throne to the ground.
45 Kaupendekkan masa mudanya, Kauselubungi dia dengan malu. (Sela)
You have caused him to look old when he is still young and caused him to be very shamed/disgraced.
46 Berapa lama lagi, ya TUHAN, Engkau bersembunyi terus-menerus, berkobar-kobar murka-Mu laksana api?
O Yahweh, how long [will this continue]? Will you hide yourself forever? How long will your anger burn like a fire?
47 Ingatlah apa umur hidup itu, betapa sia-sia Kauciptakan semua anak manusia!
Do not forget that life is very short; have you created all us people in vain?
48 Siapakah orang yang hidup dan yang tidak mengalami kematian, yang dapat meluputkan nyawanya dari kuasa dunia orang mati? (Sela) (Sheol h7585)
No one can [RHQ] keep on living and never die; (No one can [RHQ] avoid going/Everyone will go) to the place of the dead. (Sheol h7585)
49 Di manakah kasih setia-Mu yang mula-mula, ya Tuhan, yang telah Kaujanjikan dengan sumpah kepada Daud demi kesetiaan-Mu?
Yahweh, you promised long ago that you would faithfully love us; why are you not doing that? You solemnly promised that to David!
50 Ingatlah cela hamba-Mu, ya Tuhan, bahwa dalam dadaku aku menanggung penghinaan segala bangsa,
Yahweh, do not forget that people insult me! (Heathen people/People who do not know you) curse me!
51 yang dilontarkan oleh musuh-musuh-Mu, ya TUHAN, yang dilontarkan mencela jejak langkah orang yang Kauurapi.
Yahweh, your enemies insult your chosen king! They insult/ridicule him wherever he goes.
52 Terpujilah TUHAN untuk selama-lamanya! Amin, ya amin.
I hope/desire that Yahweh will be praised forever! Amen! May it be so!
