Psalms 109
1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. God of my praise, do not remain silent,
Untuk pemimpin kor. Mazmur Daud. Ya Allah yang selalu kupuji, janganlah berdiam diri.
2 for they have opened the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of deceit against me. They have spoken to me with a lying tongue.
Sebab aku diserang penjahat dan penipu yang menyebarkan cerita-cerita bohong tentang aku.
3 They have also surrounded me with words of hatred, and fought against me without a cause.
Mereka menyerang aku dengan kata-kata penuh kebencian, dan memerangi aku tanpa alasan.
4 In return for my love, they are my adversaries; but I am in prayer.
Mereka menuduh aku, walaupun aku mengasihi mereka, dan telah mendoakan mereka.
5 They have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
Mereka membalas kebaikanku dengan kejahatan, dan kasihku dengan kebencian.
6 Set a wicked man over him. Let an adversary stand at his right hand.
Angkatlah seorang jahat untuk mengadili dia, biarlah ia didakwa oleh lawannya.
7 When he is judged, let him come out guilty. Let his prayer be turned into sin.
Biarlah ia diadili dan dinyatakan bersalah, dan biarlah doanya dianggap dosa.
8 Let his days be few. Let another take his office.
Biarlah hidupnya lekas berakhir, dan jabatannya diambil oleh orang lain.
9 Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.
Biarlah anak-anaknya menjadi yatim, dan istrinya menjadi janda.
10 Let his children be wandering beggars. Let them be sought from their ruins.
Biarlah anak-anaknya menjadi pengemis yang mengembara, dan diusir dari reruntuhan rumahnya.
11 Let the creditor seize all that he has. Let strangers plunder the fruit of his labor.
Biarlah segala miliknya disita oleh penagih utang, dan hasil jerih payahnya dirampas orang.
12 Let there be no one to extend kindness to him, neither let there be anyone to have pity on his fatherless children.
Jangan ada yang baik hati kepadanya, atau menyayangi anak-anak yang ditinggalkannya.
13 Let his posterity be cut off. In the generation following let their name be blotted out.
Biarlah seluruh keturunannya dibinasakan, dan namanya dilupakan oleh angkatan yang kemudian.
14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered by the LORD. Do not let the sin of his mother be blotted out.
Biarlah kejahatan leluhurnya tetap diingat TUHAN, dan dosa ibunya tidak dihapuskan.
15 Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off their memory from the earth;
Biarlah dosa mereka selalu diingat TUHAN, dan tak ada yang mengenang mereka di bumi.
16 because he did not remember to show kindness, but persecuted the poor and needy man, the broken in heart, to kill them.
Sebab orang itu tak pernah ingat untuk menunjukkan kasih sayang. Ia menganiaya orang miskin dan sengsara, dan membunuh orang yang tak berdaya.
17 Yes, he loved cursing, and it came to him. He did not delight in blessing, and it was far from him.
Ia suka mengutuk; biarlah ia sendiri kena kutuk! Ia tidak suka memberi berkat, biarlah tak ada berkat untuk dia!
18 He clothed himself also with cursing as with his garment. It came into his inward parts like water, like oil into his bones.
Baginya mengutuk itu perbuatan biasa, sama seperti mengenakan pakaiannya. Biarlah kutuk itu merembes seperti air ke badannya, dan seperti minyak ke dalam tulang-tulangnya.
19 Let it be to him as the clothing with which he covers himself, for the belt that is always around him.
Biarlah kutuk itu menutupi dia seperti pakaian, dan selalu melingkari dia seperti ikat pinggang.
20 This is the reward of my adversaries from the LORD, of those who speak evil against my soul.
TUHAN, jatuhkanlah hukuman itu atas penuduhku, atas orang yang bicara jahat tentang aku.
21 But deal with me, GOD the Lord, for your name’s sake, because your loving kindness is good, deliver me;
Tetapi tolonglah aku sesuai dengan janji-Mu, ya TUHAN Allahku, selamatkanlah aku karena kebaikan dan kasih-Mu.
22 for I am poor and needy. My heart is wounded within me.
Sebab aku miskin dan sengsara, dan hatiku terluka sampai dalam.
23 I fade away like an evening shadow. I am shaken off like a locust.
Aku hampir hilang seperti bayangan di waktu petang, aku dikebaskan seperti belalang.
24 My knees are weak through fasting. My body is thin and lacks fat.
Lututku gemetar karena berpuasa, badanku menjadi kurus kering.
25 I have also become a reproach to them. When they see me, they shake their head.
Orang-orang yang melihat aku menghina aku sambil menggeleng-gelengkan kepala.
26 Help me, LORD, my God. Save me according to your loving kindness;
Tolonglah aku, ya TUHAN Allahku, selamatkanlah aku sesuai dengan kasih-Mu.
27 that they may know that this is your hand; that you, LORD, have done it.
Maka musuhku akan tahu bahwa itu perbuatan-Mu, bahwa Engkau, TUHAN, yang melakukannya.
28 They may curse, but you bless. When they arise, they will be shamed, but your servant shall rejoice.
Walaupun mereka mengutuk aku, semoga Engkau memberkati aku. Biarpun mereka bangkit, mereka akan dipermalukan; tetapi semoga aku, hamba-Mu, digembirakan.
29 Let my adversaries be clothed with dishonor. Let them cover themselves with their own shame as with a robe.
Biarlah orang-orang yang menuduh aku diliputi kehinaan, dan rasa malu menyelubungi mereka seperti jubah.
30 I will give great thanks to the LORD with my mouth. Yes, I will praise him among the multitude.
Aku mau memuji TUHAN dengan suara nyaring, memasyhurkan Dia di tengah himpunan umat.
31 For he will stand at the right hand of the needy, to save him from those who judge his soul.
Sebab Ia membela dan menyelamatkan orang miskin dari mereka yang menjatuhkan hukuman mati ke atasnya.
