1Oh that you would tear the heavens, that you would come down, that the mountains might quake at your presence,
1Koyakkanlah langit dan turunlah, ya TUHAN, buatlah gunung-gunung bergoncang di hadapan-Mu,
2as when fire kindles the brushwood, and the fire causes the waters to boil; to make your name known to your adversaries, that the nations may tremble at your presence!
2seperti api menyalakan kayu dan membuat air mendidih. Nyatakanlah kuasa-Mu kepada musuh-musuh-Mu, sehingga bangsa-bangsa gemetar di hadapan-Mu.
3When you did awesome things which we didn’t look for, you came down, the mountains quaked at your presence.
3Pernah Engkau melakukan perbuatan yang dahsyat, yang tidak kami sangka-sangka. Engkau turun, dan di hadapan-Mu gunung-gunung berguncang.
4For from of old men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither has the eye seen a God besides you, who works for him who waits for him.
4Belum pernah ada yang mendengar, dan belum pernah ada yang melihat bahwa selain Engkau, ada ilah yang bertindak, bagi orang yang berharap kepadanya.
5You meet him who rejoices and works righteousness, those who remember you in your ways. Behold, you were angry, and we sinned. We have been in sin for a long time; and shall we be saved?
5Engkau menyongsong orang yang jujur dan yang hidup menurut kehendak-Mu. Engkau marah kepada kami, tetapi kami tetap berdosa memang sejak dahulu kami bersalah.
6For we have all become as one who is unclean, and all our righteousness is as a polluted garment: and we all fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.
6Kami semua adalah orang najis, Kami akan lenyap karena kejahatan kami seperti daun layu diterbangkan angin.
7There is none who calls on your name, who stirs up himself to take hold of you; for you have hidden your face from us, and have consumed us by means of our iniquities.
7Tak ada yang berdoa kepada-Mu, atau minta pertolongan-Mu, sebab Engkau menyembunyikan wajah-Mu dari kami, dan membiarkan kami dibinasakan oleh dosa kami.
8But now, Yahweh, you are our Father; we are the clay, and you our potter; and we all are the work of your hand.
8Tetapi Engkau, ya TUHAN, adalah Bapa kami, kami tanah liat, dan Engkau yang membentuk kami; kami semua adalah buatan tangan-Mu.
9Don’t be furious, Yahweh, neither remember iniquity forever: see, look, we beg you, we are all your people.
9Jadi janganlah marah dengan sangat, ya TUHAN, jangan lagi mengingat-ingat dosa kami; lihatlah, kami ini umat-Mu.
10Your holy cities are become a wilderness, Zion has become a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.
10Kota-kota suci-Mu menyerupai padang gurun, Yerusalem menjadi padang tandus yang sepi.
11Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised you, is burned with fire; and all our pleasant places are laid waste.
11Rumah Allah yang suci dan agung tempat leluhur kami memuji-muji Engkau, sudah dimusnahkan oleh api; semua tempat yang kami sukai sudah menjadi reruntuhan.
12Will you refrain yourself for these things, Yahweh? Will you hold your peace, and afflict us very severely?
12Engkau melihat semua itu, ya TUHAN, masakan Engkau tinggal diam? Apakah Engkau akan membiarkan kami menderita dengan amat sangat?
