Mazmur 106
1 Bersyukurlah kepada TUHAN, sebab Ia baik; kasih-Nya kekal abadi.
Praise ye YHWH. O give thanks unto YHWH; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
2 Siapa dapat mewartakan keperkasaan TUHAN, dan memberi pujian yang layak bagi-Nya?
Who can utter the mighty acts of YHWH? who can shew forth all his praise?
3 Berbahagialah orang yang mentaati perintah-perintah-Nya, dan selalu benar dalam tindakannya.
Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that doeth righteousness at all times.
4 Ingatlah aku, ya TUHAN, demi kebaikan-Mu bagi umat-Mu, tolonglah aku juga bila Engkau menyelamatkan mereka.
Remember me, O YHWH, with the favour that thou bearest unto thy people: O visit me with thy salvation;
5 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.
That I may see the good of thy chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation, that I may glory with thine inheritance.
6 Kami telah berdosa seperti leluhur kami; kami sudah berbuat jahat dan mendurhaka.
We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.
7 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.
Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies; but provoked him at the sea, even at the Red sea.
8 Tetapi TUHAN menyelamatkan mereka demi diri-Nya sendiri, supaya keperkasaan-Nya menjadi nyata.
Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, that he might make his mighty power to be known.
9 Atas perintah-Nya Laut Gelagah menjadi kering, Ia membawa umat-Nya berjalan melalui laut, seperti melalui padang gurun.
He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up: so he led them through the depths, as through the wilderness.
10 Dengan demikian diselamatkan-Nya mereka dari tangan lawan, dibebaskan-Nya mereka dari kuasa musuh.
And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
11 Tetapi air menenggelamkan lawan mereka; tak seorang pun ketinggalan.
And the waters covered their enemies: there was not one of them left.
12 Lalu umat-Nya percaya kepada janji-Nya dan menyanyikan pujian bagi-Nya.
Then believed they his words; they sang his praise.
13 Tetapi mereka segera melupakan perbuatan TUHAN dan bertindak tanpa minta nasihat-Nya.
They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel:
14 Di padang gurun mereka dirangsang nafsu, dan mencobai Allah.
But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted El in the desert.
15 Ia memberi apa yang mereka minta, tetapi juga wabah penyakit yang menyerang mereka.
And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul.
16 Di padang gurun itu mereka iri hati kepada Musa dan kepada Harun hamba-Nya yang suci.
They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron the saint of YHWH.
17 Lalu bumi terbelah menelan Datan, menutupi Abiram dan keluarganya.
The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram.
18 Api turun menyambar kelompok mereka, menghanguskan semua yang telah mendurhaka.
And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.
19 Di Gunung Sinai mereka membuat anak lembu emas, dan menyembah patung tuangan itu.
They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image.
20 Mereka menukar Allah yang agung dengan patung sapi pemakan rumput.
Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.
21 Mereka lupa akan Allah penyelamat mereka yang telah melakukan hal-hal yang besar di Mesir.
They forgat El their saviour, which had done great things in Egypt;
22 Sungguh dahsyat perbuatan-perbuatan-Nya di negeri itu, menakjubkan tindakan-Nya di Laut Gelagah.
Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible things by the Red sea.
23 Maka Allah berniat membinasakan umat-Nya, tetapi dicegah oleh Musa, orang pilihan-Nya. Musa menjadi penengah mereka, sehingga kemarahan Allah reda.
Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them.
24 Kemudian mereka menolak negeri yang indah itu karena tak percaya kepada janji Allah.
Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not his word:
25 Mereka menggerutu di dalam kemah mereka dan tak mau mendengarkan suara TUHAN.
But murmured in their tents, and hearkened not unto the voice of YHWH.
26 Maka dengan sumpah Ia berjanji akan membunuh mereka di padang gurun.
Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness:
27 Keturunan mereka akan dibuang-Nya di antara bangsa-bangsa dan diceraiberaikan di negeri-negeri asing.
To overthrow their seed also among the nations, and to scatter them in the lands.
28 Kemudian di Peor mereka menyembah Baal, dan makan persembahan untuk dewa-dewa.
They joined themselves also unto Baal-peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.
29 Perbuatan itu membangkitkan kemarahan TUHAN, sehingga mereka diserang wabah yang mengerikan.
Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions: and the plague brake in upon them.
30 Tetapi Pinehas bangkit menghukum yang bersalah, maka berhentilah wabah itu.
Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and so the plague was stayed.
31 Perbuatan itu dianggap sebagai jasa baginya, dan dikenang untuk selama-lamanya.
And that was counted unto him for righteousness unto all generations for evermore.
32 Di sumur-sumur Meriba mereka membuat TUHAN marah, dan menyusahkan Musa dengan perbuatan mereka.
They angered him also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes:
33 Mereka membuat hatinya kesal, sehingga ia bicara tanpa berpikir.
Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake unadvisedly with his lips.
34 Bangsa-bangsa lain tidak mereka musnahkan, seperti yang diperintahkan TUHAN.
They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom YHWH commanded them:
35 Mereka malah berbaur dengan bangsa-bangsa itu, dan meniru cara-cara orang yang tak mengenal Allah.
But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works.
36 Lalu mereka menyembah berhala-berhala, dan itu menjadi sebab keruntuhan mereka.
And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them.
37 Mereka mengurbankan anak-anak mereka kepada berhala-berhala Kanaan.
Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils,
38 Mereka menumpahkan darah orang tak bersalah, darah anak-anak mereka sendiri, untuk dikurbankan kepada berhala-berhala; sehingga negeri itu mereka cemarkan.
And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.
39 Karena perbuatan-perbuatan itu mereka menjadi najis, dan tidak setia kepada Allah.
Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions.
40 Lalu kemarahan TUHAN menyala terhadap mereka, Ia muak dengan milik-Nya sendiri.
Therefore was the wrath of YHWH kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance.
41 Maka diserahkan-Nya mereka kepada bangsa-bangsa, dibiarkan-Nya mereka dikuasai musuh.
And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; and they that hated them ruled over them.
42 Lalu mereka ditindas oleh musuh-musuh mereka, dan ditaklukkan di bawah kuasa mereka.
Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand.
43 Berulang kali TUHAN membebaskan mereka, tetapi mereka lebih suka memberontak, sehingga mereka binasa dalam dosa-dosa mereka.
Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked him with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity.
44 Tetapi TUHAN mendengar teriakan mereka, Ia memperhatikan kesusahan mereka.
Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry:
45 Demi mereka Ia ingat akan perjanjian-Nya dan menyayangi mereka karena kasih-Nya yang besar.
And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercies.
46 Ia membuat mereka dikasihani oleh semua orang yang menawan mereka.
He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them captives.
47 Selamatkanlah kami, ya TUHAN Allah kami, kumpulkanlah kami dari antara bangsa-bangsa, supaya kami dapat bersyukur dan memuji nama-Mu yang suci.
Save us, O YHWH our Elohim, and gather us from among the heathen, to give thanks unto thy holy name, and to triumph in thy praise.
48 Pujilah TUHAN, Allah Israel, sekarang dan selama-lamanya. Biarlah semua orang mengatakan, "Amin!" Pujilah TUHAN!
Blessed be YHWH Elohim of Israel from everlasting to everlasting: and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye YHWH.
