Psalms 118
1 Tell Yahweh that you thank him very much for the good [things that he has done for you] He faithfully loves [us, his people], forever.
Bersyukurlah kepada TUHAN, sebab Ia baik! Bahwasanya untuk selama-lamanya kasih setia-Nya.
2 You Israeli [people] should [repeatedly] shout, “He faithfully loves [us, his people], forever!”
Biarlah Israel berkata: "Bahwasanya untuk selama-lamanya kasih setia-Nya!"
3 You [priests] who are descendants of Aaron should repeatedly shout, “He faithfully loves us, his people, forever!”
Biarlah kaum Harun berkata: "Bahwasanya untuk selama-lamanya kasih setia-Nya!"
4 All you who revere him should repeatedly shout, “He faithfully loves [us, his people], forever!”
Biarlah orang yang takut akan TUHAN berkata: "Bahwasanya untuk selama-lamanya kasih setia-Nya!"
5 When I was distressed, I called out to Yahweh, and he answered me and set me free [from my worries/troubles].
Dalam kesesakan aku telah berseru kepada TUHAN. TUHAN telah menjawab aku dengan memberi kelegaan.
6 Yahweh is (on my side/helping me), so I will not be afraid [of anything]. No one [RHQ] can do anything that will [prevent God from blessing] me forever.
TUHAN di pihakku. Aku tidak akan takut. Apakah yang dapat dilakukan manusia terhadap aku?
7 [Yes], Yahweh is (on my side/helping me), [so] I will look triumphantly at my enemies [while he defeats them].
TUHAN di pihakku, menolong aku; aku akan memandang rendah mereka yang membenci aku.
8 It is better to trust in Yahweh than to (depend on/trust in) people.
Lebih baik berlindung pada TUHAN dari pada percaya kepada manusia.
9 It is better to trust Yahweh to protect [us] than to trust [that influential/important] people [will protect us].
Lebih baik berlindung pada TUHAN dari pada percaya kepada para bangsawan.
10 Armies of [MTY] many nations surrounded me, [but] Yahweh enabled me to defeat them by his power [MTY].
Segala bangsa mengelilingi aku--demi nama TUHAN, sesungguhnya aku pukul mereka mundur.
11 They completely surrounded me, [but] I defeated them all by the power of Yahweh.
Mereka mengelilingi aku, ya mengelilingi aku--demi nama TUHAN, sesungguhnya aku pukul mereka mundur.
12 They swarmed around me like [angry] bees; they were like a fire that blazes strongly, but only briefly, in a thornbush, [but] I defeated them by the power [MTY] that Yahweh gave me.
Mereka mengelilingi aku seperti lebah, mereka menyala-nyala seperti api duri, --demi nama TUHAN, sesungguhnya aku pukul mereka mundur.
13 [My enemies] attacked me fiercely and almost defeated me, but Yahweh helped me.
Aku ditolak dengan hebat sampai jatuh, tetapi TUHAN menolong aku.
14 Yahweh is the one who makes me strong, and he is the one about whom I [always] sing; he has saved me [from my enemies].
TUHAN itu kekuatanku dan mazmurku; Ia telah menjadi keselamatanku.
15 Listen to the joyful songs of victory being sung in the tents of godly/righteous people! They sing, “Yahweh has defeated our enemies by his mighty power [MTY];
Suara sorak-sorai dan kemenangan di kemah orang-orang benar: "Tangan kanan TUHAN melakukan keperkasaan,
16 he has raised his strong right arm [to show he has defeated his enemies]. Yahweh has completely defeated them!”
tangan kanan TUHAN berkuasa meninggikan, tangan kanan TUHAN melakukan keperkasaan!"
17 I will not be killed [in battle]; I will live to proclaim the great things that Yahweh has done.
Aku tidak akan mati, tetapi hidup, dan aku akan menceritakan perbuatan-perbuatan TUHAN.
18 Yahweh has punished me severely, but he has not allowed (me to die/[my enemies] to kill me).
TUHAN telah menghajar aku dengan keras, tetapi Ia tidak menyerahkan aku kepada maut.
19 [You gatekeepers], open for me the gates of the temple in order that I may enter and thank Yahweh.
Bukakanlah aku pintu gerbang kebenaran, aku hendak masuk ke dalamnya, hendak mengucap syukur kepada TUHAN.
20 Those are the gates [through which we enter the temple to worship] Yahweh; godly/righteous people enter those gates.
Inilah pintu gerbang TUHAN, orang-orang benar akan masuk ke dalamnya.
21 [Yahweh], I thank you that you answered my prayer, and you saved me [from my enemies].
Aku bersyukur kepada-Mu, sebab Engkau telah menjawab aku dan telah menjadi keselamatanku.
22 [Yahweh’s promised/chosen king is like] [MET] the stone which the builders rejected [when they were building a house], [but that stone] became the (cornerstone/most important stone in the building).
Batu yang dibuang oleh tukang-tukang bangunan telah menjadi batu penjuru.
23 (This was done by Yahweh/Yahweh has done this), and it is a wonderful thing for us to see.
Hal itu terjadi dari pihak TUHAN, suatu perbuatan ajaib di mata kita.
24 This is the day in which [we remember that] Yahweh acted [powerfully to defeat our enemies]; we will rejoice and be glad/happy today.
Inilah hari yang dijadikan TUHAN, marilah kita bersorak-sorak dan bersukacita karenanya!
25 Yahweh, we plead with you to [keep] rescuing us [from our enemies]. Yahweh, please help us (accomplish/do well) [what we want to do].
Ya TUHAN, berilah kiranya keselamatan! Ya TUHAN, berilah kiranya kemujuran!
26 Yahweh, bless the one who will come with your authority [MTY]. And from the temple we (bless/[ask Yahweh to] bless) all of you.
Diberkatilah dia yang datang dalam nama TUHAN! Kami memberkati kamu dari dalam rumah TUHAN.
27 Yahweh is God, and he has caused his light to shine on us. Come, carrying [palm] branches, and join the people [who are starting] the festival as they go to the altar.
Tuhanlah Allah, Dia menerangi kita. Ikatkanlah korban hari raya itu dengan tali, pada tanduk-tanduk mezbah.
28 [Yahweh], you are the God whom I [worship], and I will praise you! You are my God, and I will tell [everyone] that you are great!
Allahku Engkau, aku hendak bersyukur kepada-Mu, Allahku, aku hendak meninggikan Engkau.
29 Thank Yahweh, because he does good things [for us] He will faithfully love [us] forever.
Bersyukurlah kepada TUHAN, sebab Ia baik! Bahwasanya untuk selama-lamanya kasih setia-Nya.
