| 73:1. <> Truly God [is] good to Israel, [even] to such as are of a clean heart. |
73:1. Mazmur Asaf. Sesungguhnya Allah itu baik bagi mereka yang tulus hatinya, bagi mereka yang bersih hatinya. |
| 73:2 But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped. |
73:2 Tetapi aku, sedikit lagi maka kakiku terpeleset, nyaris aku tergelincir. |
| 73:3 For I was envious at the foolish, [when] I saw the prosperity of the wicked. |
73:3 Sebab aku cemburu kepada pembual-pembual, kalau aku melihat kemujuran orang-orang fasik. |
| 73:4 For [there are] no bands in their death: but their strength [is] firm. |
73:4 Sebab kesakitan tidak ada pada mereka, sehat dan gemuk tubuh mereka; |
| 73:5 They [are] not in trouble [as other] men; neither are they plagued like [other] men. |
73:5 mereka tidak mengalami kesusahan manusia, dan mereka tidak kena tulah seperti orang lain. |
| 73:6 Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them [as] a garment. |
73:6 Sebab itu mereka berkalungkan kecongkakan dan berpakaian kekerasan. |
| 73:7 Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish. |
73:7 Karena kegemukan, kesalahan mereka menyolok, hati mereka meluap-luap dengan sangkaan. |
| 73:8 They are corrupt, and speak wickedly [concerning] oppression: they speak loftily. |
73:8 Mereka menyindir dan mengata-ngatai dengan jahatnya, hal pemerasan dibicarakan mereka dengan tinggi hati. |
| 73:9 They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth. |
73:9 Mereka membuka mulut melawan langit, dan lidah mereka membual di bumi. |
| 73:10 Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full [cup] are wrung out to them. |
73:10 Sebab itu orang-orang berbalik kepada mereka, mendapatkan mereka seperti air yang berlimpah-limpah. |
| 73:11 And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High? |
73:11 Dan mereka berkata: "Bagaimana Allah tahu hal itu, adakah pengetahuan pada Yang Mahatinggi?" |
| 73:12 Behold, these [are] the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase [in] riches. |
73:12 Sesungguhnya, itulah orang-orang fasik: mereka menambah harta benda dan senang selamanya! |
| 73:13 Verily I have cleansed my heart [in] vain, and washed my hands in innocency. |
73:13 Sia-sia sama sekali aku mempertahankan hati yang bersih, dan membasuh tanganku, tanda tak bersalah. |
| 73:14 For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning. |
73:14 Namun sepanjang hari aku kena tulah, dan kena hukum setiap pagi. |
| 73:15. If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend [against] the generation of thy children. |
73:15. Seandainya aku berkata: "Aku mau berkata-kata seperti itu," maka sesungguhnya aku telah berkhianat kepada angkatan anak-anakmu. |
| 73:16 When I thought to know this, it [was] too painful for me; |
73:16 Tetapi ketika aku bermaksud untuk mengetahuinya, hal itu menjadi kesulitan di mataku, |
| 73:17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God; [then] understood I their end. |
73:17 sampai aku masuk ke dalam tempat kudus Allah, dan memperhatikan kesudahan mereka. |
| 73:18 Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction. |
73:18 Sesungguhnya di tempat-tempat licin Kautaruh mereka, Kaujatuhkan mereka sehingga hancur. |
| 73:19 How are they [brought] into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors. |
73:19 Betapa binasa mereka dalam sekejap mata, lenyap, habis oleh karena kedahsyatan! |
| 73:20 As a dream when [one] awaketh; [so], O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image. |
73:20 Seperti mimpi pada waktu terbangun, ya Tuhan, pada waktu terjaga, rupa mereka Kaupandang hina. |
| 73:21. Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins. |
73:21. Ketika hatiku merasa pahit dan buah pinggangku menusuk-nusuk rasanya, |
| 73:22 So foolish [was] I, and ignorant: I was [as] a beast before thee. |
73:22 aku dungu dan tidak mengerti, seperti hewan aku di dekat-Mu. |
| 73:23 Nevertheless I [am] continually with thee: thou hast holden [me] by my right hand. |
73:23 Tetapi aku tetap di dekat-Mu; Engkau memegang tangan kananku. |
| 73:24 Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me [to] glory. |
73:24 Dengan nasihat-Mu Engkau menuntun aku, dan kemudian Engkau mengangkat aku ke dalam kemuliaan. |
| 73:25 Whom have I in heaven [but thee]? and [there is] none upon earth [that] I desire beside thee. |
73:25 Siapa gerangan ada padaku di sorga selain Engkau? Selain Engkau tidak ada yang kuingini di bumi. |
| 73:26 My flesh and my heart faileth: [but] God [is] the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever. |
73:26 Sekalipun dagingku dan hatiku habis lenyap, gunung batuku dan bagianku tetaplah Allah selama-lamanya. |
| 73:27 For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee. |
73:27 Sebab sesungguhnya, siapa yang jauh dari pada-Mu akan binasa; Kaubinasakan semua orang, yang berzinah dengan meninggalkan Engkau. |
| 73:28 But [it is] good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works. |
73:28 Tetapi aku, aku suka dekat pada Allah; aku menaruh tempat perlindunganku pada Tuhan ALLAH, supaya dapat menceritakan segala pekerjaan-Nya. |
