Psalms 106
1 Praise the LORD! Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.
Bersyukurlah kepada TUHAN, sebab Ia baik; kasih-Nya kekal abadi.
2 Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD, or fully declare all his praise?
Siapa dapat mewartakan keperkasaan TUHAN, dan memberi pujian yang layak bagi-Nya?
3 Blessed are those who keep justice. Blessed is one who does what is right at all times.
Berbahagialah orang yang mentaati perintah-perintah-Nya, dan selalu benar dalam tindakannya.
4 Remember me, LORD, with the favour that you show to your people. Visit me with your salvation,
Ingatlah aku, ya TUHAN, demi kebaikan-Mu bagi umat-Mu, tolonglah aku juga bila Engkau menyelamatkan mereka.
5 that I may see the prosperity of your chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of your nation, that I may glory with your inheritance.
Semoga aku melihat kemakmuran orang-orang pilihan-Mu dan bersukacita bersama umat-Mu. Semoga aku berbangga dan bergembira bersama orang-orang yang menjadi milik-Mu.
6 We have sinned with our fathers. We have committed iniquity. We have done wickedly.
Kami telah berdosa seperti leluhur kami; kami sudah berbuat jahat dan mendurhaka.
7 Our fathers didn’t understand your wonders in Egypt. They didn’t remember the multitude of your loving kindnesses, but were rebellious at the sea, even at the Red Sea.
Waktu di Mesir nenek moyang kami tidak mengerti; karya-Mu yang mengagumkan tidak mereka pahami. Mereka lupa akan kasih-Mu yang berlimpah, dan di dekat Laut Gelagah mereka berontak terhadap Yang Mahatinggi.
8 Nevertheless he saved them for his name’s sake, that he might make his mighty power known.
Tetapi TUHAN menyelamatkan mereka demi diri-Nya sendiri, supaya keperkasaan-Nya menjadi nyata.
9 He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it was dried up; so he led them through the depths, as through a desert.
Atas perintah-Nya Laut Gelagah menjadi kering, Ia membawa umat-Nya berjalan melalui laut, seperti melalui padang gurun.
10 He saved them from the hand of him who hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
Dengan demikian diselamatkan-Nya mereka dari tangan lawan, dibebaskan-Nya mereka dari kuasa musuh.
11 The waters covered their adversaries. There was not one of them left.
Tetapi air menenggelamkan lawan mereka; tak seorang pun ketinggalan.
12 Then they believed his words. They sang his praise.
Lalu umat-Nya percaya kepada janji-Nya dan menyanyikan pujian bagi-Nya.
13 They soon forgot his works. They didn’t wait for his counsel,
Tetapi mereka segera melupakan perbuatan TUHAN dan bertindak tanpa minta nasihat-Nya.
14 but gave in to craving in the desert, and tested God in the wasteland.
Di padang gurun mereka dirangsang nafsu, dan mencobai Allah.
15 He gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul.
Ia memberi apa yang mereka minta, tetapi juga wabah penyakit yang menyerang mereka.
16 They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron, the LORD’s saint.
Di padang gurun itu mereka iri hati kepada Musa dan kepada Harun hamba-Nya yang suci.
17 The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram.
Lalu bumi terbelah menelan Datan, menutupi Abiram dan keluarganya.
18 A fire was kindled in their company. The flame burnt up the wicked.
Api turun menyambar kelompok mereka, menghanguskan semua yang telah mendurhaka.
19 They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped a molten image.
Di Gunung Sinai mereka membuat anak lembu emas, dan menyembah patung tuangan itu.
20 Thus they exchanged their glory for an image of a bull that eats grass.
Mereka menukar Allah yang agung dengan patung sapi pemakan rumput.
21 They forgot God, their Saviour, who had done great things in Egypt,
Mereka lupa akan Allah penyelamat mereka yang telah melakukan hal-hal yang besar di Mesir.
22 wondrous works in the land of Ham, and awesome things by the Red Sea.
Sungguh dahsyat perbuatan-perbuatan-Nya di negeri itu, menakjubkan tindakan-Nya di Laut Gelagah.
23 Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had Moses, his chosen, not stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, so that he wouldn’t destroy them.
Maka Allah berniat membinasakan umat-Nya, tetapi dicegah oleh Musa, orang pilihan-Nya. Musa menjadi penengah mereka, sehingga kemarahan Allah reda.
24 Yes, they despised the pleasant land. They didn’t believe his word,
Kemudian mereka menolak negeri yang indah itu karena tak percaya kepada janji Allah.
25 but murmured in their tents, and didn’t listen to the LORD’s voice.
Mereka menggerutu di dalam kemah mereka dan tak mau mendengarkan suara TUHAN.
26 Therefore he swore to them that he would overthrow them in the wilderness,
Maka dengan sumpah Ia berjanji akan membunuh mereka di padang gurun.
27 that he would overthrow their offspring amongst the nations, and scatter them in the lands.
Keturunan mereka akan dibuang-Nya di antara bangsa-bangsa dan diceraiberaikan di negeri-negeri asing.
28 They joined themselves also to Baal Peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.
Kemudian di Peor mereka menyembah Baal, dan makan persembahan untuk dewa-dewa.
29 Thus they provoked him to anger with their deeds. The plague broke in on them.
Perbuatan itu membangkitkan kemarahan TUHAN, sehingga mereka diserang wabah yang mengerikan.
30 Then Phinehas stood up and executed judgement, so the plague was stopped.
Tetapi Pinehas bangkit menghukum yang bersalah, maka berhentilah wabah itu.
31 That was credited to him for righteousness, for all generations to come.
Perbuatan itu dianggap sebagai jasa baginya, dan dikenang untuk selama-lamanya.
32 They angered him also at the waters of Meribah, so that Moses was troubled for their sakes;
Di sumur-sumur Meriba mereka membuat TUHAN marah, dan menyusahkan Musa dengan perbuatan mereka.
33 because they were rebellious against his spirit, he spoke rashly with his lips.
Mereka membuat hatinya kesal, sehingga ia bicara tanpa berpikir.
34 They didn’t destroy the peoples, as the LORD commanded them,
Bangsa-bangsa lain tidak mereka musnahkan, seperti yang diperintahkan TUHAN.
35 but mixed themselves with the nations, and learnt their works.
Mereka malah berbaur dengan bangsa-bangsa itu, dan meniru cara-cara orang yang tak mengenal Allah.
36 They served their idols, which became a snare to them.
Lalu mereka menyembah berhala-berhala, dan itu menjadi sebab keruntuhan mereka.
37 Yes, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons.
Mereka mengurbankan anak-anak mereka kepada berhala-berhala Kanaan.
38 They shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan. The land was polluted with blood.
Mereka menumpahkan darah orang tak bersalah, darah anak-anak mereka sendiri, untuk dikurbankan kepada berhala-berhala; sehingga negeri itu mereka cemarkan.
39 Thus they were defiled with their works, and prostituted themselves in their deeds.
Karena perbuatan-perbuatan itu mereka menjadi najis, dan tidak setia kepada Allah.
40 Therefore the LORD burnt with anger against his people. He abhorred his inheritance.
Lalu kemarahan TUHAN menyala terhadap mereka, Ia muak dengan milik-Nya sendiri.
41 He gave them into the hand of the nations. Those who hated them ruled over them.
Maka diserahkan-Nya mereka kepada bangsa-bangsa, dibiarkan-Nya mereka dikuasai musuh.
42 Their enemies also oppressed them. They were brought into subjection under their hand.
Lalu mereka ditindas oleh musuh-musuh mereka, dan ditaklukkan di bawah kuasa mereka.
43 He rescued them many times, but they were rebellious in their counsel, and were brought low in their iniquity.
Berulang kali TUHAN membebaskan mereka, tetapi mereka lebih suka memberontak, sehingga mereka binasa dalam dosa-dosa mereka.
44 Nevertheless he regarded their distress, when he heard their cry.
Tetapi TUHAN mendengar teriakan mereka, Ia memperhatikan kesusahan mereka.
45 He remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.
Demi mereka Ia ingat akan perjanjian-Nya dan menyayangi mereka karena kasih-Nya yang besar.
46 He made them also to be pitied by all those who carried them captive.
Ia membuat mereka dikasihani oleh semua orang yang menawan mereka.
47 Save us, LORD, our God, gather us from amongst the nations, to give thanks to your holy name, to triumph in your praise!
Selamatkanlah kami, ya TUHAN Allah kami, kumpulkanlah kami dari antara bangsa-bangsa, supaya kami dapat bersyukur dan memuji nama-Mu yang suci.
48 Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting! Let all the people say, “Amen.” Praise the LORD!
Pujilah TUHAN, Allah Israel, sekarang dan selama-lamanya. Biarlah semua orang mengatakan, "Amin!" Pujilah TUHAN!
