< Mazmur 83 >

1 Mazmur Asaf: sebuah nyanyian. Ya Allah, janganlah membisu, jangan berpangku tangan dan tinggal diam.
[A song. A Psalm by Asaph.] God, do not be silent. Do not be deaf, and do not be inactive, God.
2 Lihatlah, musuh-Mu bergolak, orang-orang yang membenci Engkau berontak.
For, look, your enemies make an uproar. Those who hate you are hostile.
3 Mereka membuat rencana licik melawan umat-Mu; dan berunding melawan orang-orang yang Kaulindungi.
They devise crafty plans against your people, and conspire together against your treasured ones.
4 Kata mereka, "Mari kita hancurkan bangsa Israel, supaya nama mereka tidak diingat lagi."
They say, "Come, and let us annihilate them as a nation; let the name of Israel may be remembered no more."
5 Bangsa-bangsa telah bersekutu, dan bermupakat melawan Engkau:
For they plot a unified strategy; they make a covenant against you;
6 bangsa Edom dan Ismael, orang-orang Moab dan Hagar;
the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab, and the Hagrites,
7 bangsa Gebal, Amon dan Amalek, bangsa Filistea serta penduduk Tirus.
Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek, Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre.
8 Juga Asyur telah bergabung dengan mereka, menjadi kaki tangan keturunan Lot.
Assyria too is joined with them; they lend support to the descendants of Lot. (Selah)
9 Perlakukanlah mereka seperti orang Midian, seperti Sisera dan Yabin di Sungai Kison,
Do to them as you did to Midian, as to Sisera, as to Jabin at the Kishon River,
10 yang sudah dibinasakan di Endor, dan menjadi pupuk untuk tanah.
who were destroyed at Endor, who became manure for the ground.
11 Perlakukanlah pemimpin mereka seperti Oreb dan Zeeb, tundukkanlah penguasa mereka seperti Zebah dan Salmuna,
Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
12 karena mereka telah berkata, "Mari kita duduki tanah kediaman Allah."
who said, "Let us take possession for ourselves the pastures of God."
13 Ya Allah, hamburkanlah mereka seperti debu, seperti jerami yang ditiup angin.
My God, make them like tumbleweed; like dead weeds blown by the wind.
14 Seperti api yang membakar hutan, nyala api yang menghanguskan gunung-gunung.
Like a fire that consumes a forest, and like the flames that consume the mountains,
15 Kejarlah mereka dengan badai-Mu, kejutkan mereka dengan topan-Mu.
so pursue them with your gale winds, and terrify them with your storm.
16 Ya TUHAN, biarlah mereka dihina, supaya mereka mengakui kekuasaan-Mu.
Cover their faces with shame, so that they might seek your name, LORD.
17 Biarlah mereka selamanya dipermalukan dan ketakutan, biarlah mereka mati dalam kehinaan.
Let them be put to shame and terrified forever; let them perish in disgrace,
18 Semoga mereka tahu hanya Engkaulah Yang Mahatinggi, TUHAN, yang menguasai seluruh bumi.
that they will know that you alone, whose name is the LORD, are the Most High over all the earth.
