Psalms 50
1 A Psalm. Of Asaph. The God of gods, even the Lord, has sent out his voice, and the earth is full of fear; from the coming up of the sun to its going down.
Mazmur Asaf. Yang Mahakuasa, TUHAN Allah, berfirman dan memanggil bumi, dari terbitnya matahari sampai kepada terbenamnya.
2 From Zion, most beautiful of places, God has sent out his light.
Dari Sion, puncak keindahan, Allah tampil bersinar.
3 Our God will come, and will not keep quiet; with fire burning before him, and storm-winds round him.
Allah kita datang dan tidak akan berdiam diri, di hadapan-Nya api menjilat, sekeliling-Nya bertiup badai yang dahsyat.
4 His voice will go out to the heavens and to the earth, for the judging of his people:
Ia berseru kepada langit di atas, dan kepada bumi untuk mengadili umat-Nya:
5 Let my saints come together to me; those who have made an agreement with me by offerings.
"Bawalah kemari orang-orang yang Kukasihi, yang mengikat perjanjian dengan Aku berdasarkan korban sembelihan!"
6 And let the heavens make clear his righteousness; for God himself is the judge. (Selah)
Langit memberitakan keadilan-Nya, sebab Allah sendirilah Hakim. (Sela)
7 Give ear, O my people, to my words; O Israel, I will be a witness against you; I am God, even your God.
"Dengarlah, hai umat-Ku, Aku hendak berfirman, hai Israel, Aku hendak bersaksi terhadap kamu: Akulah Allah, Allahmu!
8 I will not take up a cause against you because of your offerings, or because of your burned offerings, which are ever before me.
Bukan karena korban sembelihanmu Aku menghukum engkau; bukankah korban bakaranmu tetap ada di hadapan-Ku?
9 I will take no ox out of your house, or he-goats from your flocks;
Tidak usah Aku mengambil lembu dari rumahmu atau kambing jantan dari kandangmu,
10 For every beast of the woodland is mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills.
sebab punya-Kulah segala binatang hutan, dan beribu-ribu hewan di gunung.
11 I see all the birds of the mountains, and the beasts of the field are mine.
Aku kenal segala burung di udara, dan apa yang bergerak di padang adalah dalam kuasa-Ku.
12 If I had need of food, I would not give you word of it; for the earth is mine and all its wealth.
Jika Aku lapar, tidak usah Kukatakan kepadamu, sebab punya-Kulah dunia dan segala isinya.
13 Am I to take the flesh of the ox for my food, or the blood of goats for my drink?
Daging lembu jantankah Aku makan, atau darah kambing jantankah Aku minum?
14 Make an offering of praise to God; keep the agreements which you have made with the Most High;
Persembahkanlah syukur sebagai korban kepada Allah dan bayarlah nazarmu kepada Yang Mahatinggi!
15 Let your voice come up to me in the day of trouble; I will be your saviour, so that you may give glory to me.
Berserulah kepada-Ku pada waktu kesesakan, Aku akan meluputkan engkau, dan engkau akan memuliakan Aku." (Sela)
16 But to the sinner, God says, What are you doing, talking of my laws, or taking the words of my agreement in your mouth?
Tetapi kepada orang fasik Allah berfirman: "Apakah urusanmu menyelidiki ketetapan-Ku, dan menyebut-nyebut perjanjian-Ku dengan mulutmu,
17 Seeing that you have no desire for my teaching, turning your back on my words.
padahal engkaulah yang membenci teguran, dan mengesampingkan firman-Ku?
18 When you saw a thief, you were in agreement with him, and you were joined with those who took other men's wives.
Jika engkau melihat pencuri, maka engkau berkawan dengan dia, dan bergaul dengan orang berzinah.
19 You have given your mouth to evil, your tongue to words of deceit.
Mulutmu kaubiarkan mengucapkan yang jahat, dan pada lidahmu melekat tipu daya.
20 You say evil of your brother; you make false statements against your mother's son.
Engkau duduk, dan mengata-ngatai saudaramu, memfitnah anak ibumu.
21 These things have you done, and I said nothing; it seemed to you that I was such a one as yourself; but I will make a protest against you, and put them in order before your eyes.
Itulah yang engkau lakukan, tetapi Aku berdiam diri; engkau menyangka, bahwa Aku ini sederajat dengan engkau. Aku akan menghukum engkau dan membawa perkara ini ke hadapanmu.
22 Now keep this in mind, you who have no memory of God, for fear that you may be crushed under my hand, with no one to give you help:
Perhatikanlah ini, hai kamu yang melupakan Allah; supaya jangan Aku menerkam, dan tidak ada yang melepaskan.
23 Whoever makes an offering of praise gives glory to me; and to him who is upright in his ways I will make clear the salvation of God.
Siapa yang mempersembahkan syukur sebagai korban, ia memuliakan Aku; siapa yang jujur jalannya, keselamatan yang dari Allah akan Kuperlihatkan kepadanya."
