¹Praise Yahweh! Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.

¹Bersyukurlah kepada TUHAN, sebab Ia baik; kasih-Nya kekal abadi.

²Who can utter the mighty acts of Yahweh, or fully declare all his praise?

²Siapa dapat mewartakan keperkasaan TUHAN, dan memberi pujian yang layak bagi-Nya?

³Blessed are those who keep justice. Blessed is one who does what is right at all times.

³Berbahagialah orang yang mentaati perintah-perintah-Nya, dan selalu benar dalam tindakannya.

⁴Remember me, Yahweh, with the favor that you show to your people. Visit me with your salvation,

⁴Ingatlah aku, ya TUHAN, demi kebaikan-Mu bagi umat-Mu, tolonglah aku juga bila Engkau menyelamatkan mereka.

⁵that 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.

⁵Semoga aku melihat kemakmuran orang-orang pilihan-Mu dan bersukacita bersama umat-Mu. Semoga aku berbangga dan bergembira bersama orang-orang yang menjadi milik-Mu.

⁶We have sinned with our fathers. We have committed iniquity. We have done wickedly.

⁶Kami telah berdosa seperti leluhur kami; kami sudah berbuat jahat dan mendurhaka.

⁷Our 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 or, Sea of Reeds .

⁷Waktu 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.

⁸Nevertheless he saved them for his name’s sake, that he might make his mighty power known.

⁸Tetapi TUHAN menyelamatkan mereka demi diri-Nya sendiri, supaya keperkasaan-Nya menjadi nyata.

⁹He rebuked the Red Sea or, Sea of Reeds also, and it was dried up; so he led them through the depths, as through a desert.

⁹Atas perintah-Nya Laut Gelagah menjadi kering, Ia membawa umat-Nya berjalan melalui laut, seperti melalui padang gurun.

¹⁰He saved them from the hand of him who hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

¹⁰Dengan demikian diselamatkan-Nya mereka dari tangan lawan, dibebaskan-Nya mereka dari kuasa musuh.

¹¹The waters covered their adversaries. There was not one of them left.

¹¹Tetapi air menenggelamkan lawan mereka; tak seorang pun ketinggalan.

¹²Then they believed his words. They sang his praise.

¹²Lalu umat-Nya percaya kepada janji-Nya dan menyanyikan pujian bagi-Nya.

¹³They soon forgot his works. They didn’t wait for his counsel,

¹³Tetapi mereka segera melupakan perbuatan TUHAN dan bertindak tanpa minta nasihat-Nya.

¹⁴but gave in to craving in the desert, and tested God in the wasteland.

¹⁴Di padang gurun mereka dirangsang nafsu, dan mencobai Allah.

¹⁵He gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul.

¹⁵Ia memberi apa yang mereka minta, tetapi juga wabah penyakit yang menyerang mereka.

¹⁶They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron, Yahweh’s saint.

¹⁶Di padang gurun itu mereka iri hati kepada Musa dan kepada Harun hamba-Nya yang suci.

¹⁷The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram.

¹⁷Lalu bumi terbelah menelan Datan, menutupi Abiram dan keluarganya.

¹⁸A fire was kindled in their company. The flame burned up the wicked.

¹⁸Api turun menyambar kelompok mereka, menghanguskan semua yang telah mendurhaka.

¹⁹They made a calf in Horeb, and worshiped a molten image.

¹⁹Di Gunung Sinai mereka membuat anak lembu emas, dan menyembah patung tuangan itu.

²⁰Thus they exchanged their glory for an image of a bull that eats grass.

²⁰Mereka menukar Allah yang agung dengan patung sapi pemakan rumput.

²¹They forgot God, their Savior, who had done great things in Egypt,

²¹Mereka lupa akan Allah penyelamat mereka yang telah melakukan hal-hal yang besar di Mesir.

²²Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and awesome things by the Red Sea or, Sea of Reeds .

²²Sungguh dahsyat perbuatan-perbuatan-Nya di negeri itu, menakjubkan tindakan-Nya di Laut Gelagah.

²³Therefore 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.

²³Maka Allah berniat membinasakan umat-Nya, tetapi dicegah oleh Musa, orang pilihan-Nya. Musa menjadi penengah mereka, sehingga kemarahan Allah reda.

²⁴Yes, they despised the pleasant land. They didn’t believe his word,

²⁴Kemudian mereka menolak negeri yang indah itu karena tak percaya kepada janji Allah.

²⁵but murmured in their tents, and didn’t listen to Yahweh’s voice.

²⁵Mereka menggerutu di dalam kemah mereka dan tak mau mendengarkan suara TUHAN.

²⁶Therefore he swore to them that he would overthrow them in the wilderness,

²⁶Maka dengan sumpah Ia berjanji akan membunuh mereka di padang gurun.

²⁷that he would overthrow their seed among the nations, and scatter them in the lands.

²⁷Keturunan mereka akan dibuang-Nya di antara bangsa-bangsa dan diceraiberaikan di negeri-negeri asing.

²⁸They joined themselves also to Baal Peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.

²⁸Kemudian di Peor mereka menyembah Baal, dan makan persembahan untuk dewa-dewa.

²⁹Thus they provoked him to anger with their deeds. The plague broke in on them.

²⁹Perbuatan itu membangkitkan kemarahan TUHAN, sehingga mereka diserang wabah yang mengerikan.

³⁰Then Phinehas stood up, and executed judgment, so the plague was stopped.

³⁰Tetapi Pinehas bangkit menghukum yang bersalah, maka berhentilah wabah itu.

³¹That was credited to him for righteousness, for all generations to come.

³¹Perbuatan itu dianggap sebagai jasa baginya, dan dikenang untuk selama-lamanya.

³²They angered him also at the waters of Meribah, so that Moses was troubled for their sakes;

³²Di sumur-sumur Meriba mereka membuat TUHAN marah, dan menyusahkan Musa dengan perbuatan mereka.

³³because they were rebellious against his spirit, he spoke rashly with his lips.

³³Mereka membuat hatinya kesal, sehingga ia bicara tanpa berpikir.

³⁴They didn’t destroy the peoples, as Yahweh commanded them,

³⁴Bangsa-bangsa lain tidak mereka musnahkan, seperti yang diperintahkan TUHAN.

³⁵but mixed themselves with the nations, and learned their works.

³⁵Mereka malah berbaur dengan bangsa-bangsa itu, dan meniru cara-cara orang yang tak mengenal Allah.

³⁶They served their idols, which became a snare to them.

³⁶Lalu mereka menyembah berhala-berhala, dan itu menjadi sebab keruntuhan mereka.

³⁷Mereka mengurbankan anak-anak mereka kepada berhala-berhala Kanaan.

³⁸They 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.

³⁸Mereka menumpahkan darah orang tak bersalah, darah anak-anak mereka sendiri, untuk dikurbankan kepada berhala-berhala; sehingga negeri itu mereka cemarkan.

³⁹Thus were they defiled with their works, and prostituted themselves in their deeds.

³⁹Karena perbuatan-perbuatan itu mereka menjadi najis, dan tidak setia kepada Allah.

⁴⁰Therefore Yahweh burned with anger against his people. He abhorred his inheritance.

⁴⁰Lalu kemarahan TUHAN menyala terhadap mereka, Ia muak dengan milik-Nya sendiri.

⁴¹He gave them into the hand of the nations. Those who hated them ruled over them.

⁴¹Maka diserahkan-Nya mereka kepada bangsa-bangsa, dibiarkan-Nya mereka dikuasai musuh.

⁴²Their enemies also oppressed them. They were brought into subjection under their hand.

⁴²Lalu mereka ditindas oleh musuh-musuh mereka, dan ditaklukkan di bawah kuasa mereka.

⁴³Many times he delivered them, but they were rebellious in their counsel, and were brought low in their iniquity.

⁴³Berulang kali TUHAN membebaskan mereka, tetapi mereka lebih suka memberontak, sehingga mereka binasa dalam dosa-dosa mereka.

⁴⁴Nevertheless he regarded their distress, when he heard their cry.

⁴⁴Tetapi TUHAN mendengar teriakan mereka, Ia memperhatikan kesusahan mereka.

⁴⁵He remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.

⁴⁵Demi mereka Ia ingat akan perjanjian-Nya dan menyayangi mereka karena kasih-Nya yang besar.

⁴⁶He made them also to be pitied by all those who carried them captive.

⁴⁶Ia membuat mereka dikasihani oleh semua orang yang menawan mereka.

⁴⁷Save us, Yahweh, our God, gather us from among the nations, to give thanks to your holy name, to triumph in your praise!

⁴⁷Selamatkanlah kami, ya TUHAN Allah kami, kumpulkanlah kami dari antara bangsa-bangsa, supaya kami dapat bersyukur dan memuji nama-Mu yang suci.

⁴⁸Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting! Let all the people say, “Amen.” Praise Yah! BOOK V

⁴⁸Pujilah TUHAN, Allah Israel, sekarang dan selama-lamanya. Biarlah semua orang mengatakan, "Amin!" Pujilah TUHAN!
