However, if you use it as an adjective, the translation is "damai".

Damai

The more I think, the more I agree with Sugeng - "Damai" is stronger word, as in:
"Peace, man!"

bagaikan damai di bumi atau tenteram di dunia

I believe the writer is trying to make a comparison using a literary style--simile; this is evidenced by the use of "like". In Indonesia this style is usually translated into 'sperti, ibarat, bagaikan.'
