< Isaiah 63 >
1 Who is this coming from Edom, from Bozrah with crimson-stained garments? Who is this robed in splendor, marching in the greatness of His strength? “It is I, proclaiming vindication, mighty to save.”
"Siapakah dia yang datang dari Bozra di Edom? bajunya merah, pakaiannya semarak; ia berjalan dengan gagah perkasa."
2 Why are Your clothes red, and Your garments like one who treads the winepress?
"Mengapa pakaianmu semerah itu, seperti baju pengirik buah anggur?"
3 “I have trodden the winepress alone, and no one from the nations was with Me. I trampled them in My anger and trod them down in My fury; their blood spattered My garments, and all My clothes were stained.
"Sendirian Aku masuk ke tempat pengirikan anggur di antara umat-Ku tak ada yang menolong Aku. Bangsa-bangsa Kuinjak-injak dalam kemarahan-Ku, seperti menginjak-injak buah anggur. Darah mereka menyembur membasahi baju-Ku, mencemarkan seluruh pakaian-Ku.
4 For the day of vengeance was in My heart, and the year of My redemption had come.
Aku sudah merencanakan hari pembalasan, dan masa pembebasan bagi umat-Ku.
5 I looked, but there was no one to help; I was appalled that no one assisted. So My arm brought Me salvation, and My own wrath upheld Me.
Aku mencari, tetapi tak ada yang menolong, Aku heran bahwa tak ada yang membantu. Lalu kekuatan-Ku sendiri menolong Aku, kemarahan-Ku membantu Aku.
6 I trampled the nations in My anger; in My wrath I made them drunk and poured out their blood on the ground.”
Dalam kemarahan-Ku yang bernyala-nyala, Kuinjak-injak bangsa-bangsa; Kubinasakan mereka, dan darah mereka Kutumpahkan ke tanah."
7 I will make known the LORD’s loving devotion and His praiseworthy acts, because of all that the LORD has done for us— the many good things for the house of Israel according to His great compassion and loving devotion.
Aku hendak mewartakan kasih TUHAN dan memuji Dia karena segala perbuatan-Nya. Dengan limpah Ia memberkati umat-Nya, karena Ia berbelaskasihan dan kasih-Nya tidak berkesudahan.
8 For He said, “They are surely My people, sons who will not be disloyal.” So He became their Savior.
TUHAN berkata, "Sungguh, mereka adalah umat-Ku, anak-anak yang tidak mengecewakan." Maka Ia menjadi Penyelamat mereka,
9 In all their distress, He too was afflicted, and the Angel of His Presence saved them. In His love and compassion He redeemed them; He lifted them up and carried them all the days of old.
Ia sendiri ditimpa kesusahan mereka. TUHAN tidak mengirim utusan atau duta; Ia sendirilah yang membebaskan mereka karena kasih dan belaskasihan-Nya. Ia selalu memelihara mereka sejak dahulu kala.
10 But they rebelled and grieved His Holy Spirit. So He turned and became their enemy, and He Himself fought against them.
Tetapi mereka memberontak dan menyedihkan hati TUHAN. Maka Ia berbalik menjadi musuh mereka Ia sendiri berperang melawan mereka.
11 Then His people remembered the days of old, the days of Moses. Where is He who brought them through the sea with the shepherds of His flock? Where is the One who set His Holy Spirit among them,
Lalu mereka teringat zaman dahulu, zaman Musa, hamba TUHAN. Mereka bertanya, "Di manakah TUHAN yang menuntun para pemimpin umat-Nya melalui laut? Di manakah TUHAN yang memberi kuasa-Nya kepada mereka?
12 who sent His glorious arm to lead them by the right hand of Moses, who divided the waters before them to gain for Himself everlasting renown,
Di manakah TUHAN yang mendampingi Musa dengan tangan-Nya yang kuat perkasa, dan membelah air di depan mereka supaya nama-Nya termasyhur selama-lamanya?
13 who led them through the depths like a horse in the wilderness, so that they did not stumble?
Di manakah TUHAN yang menuntun mereka berjalan melalui air yang dalam? Seperti kuda melalui padang gurun, mereka tidak pernah tersandung."
14 Like cattle going down to the valley, the Spirit of the LORD gave them rest. You led Your people this way to make for Yourself a glorious name.
TUHAN membawa mereka ke tempat perhentian, seperti ternak digiring untuk merumput di padang. Begitulah Ia membimbing umat-Nya, supaya nama-Nya diagungkan.
15 Look down from heaven and see, from Your holy and glorious habitation. Where are Your zeal and might? Your yearning and compassion for me are restrained.
Ya TUHAN, pandanglah dari surga, dari kediaman-Mu yang suci dan mulia. Di manakah kasih dan keperkasaan-Mu? Di manakah kerahiman dan belas kasih-Mu? Janganlah menahan itu dari kami.
16 Yet You are our Father, though Abraham does not know us and Israel does not acknowledge us. You, O LORD, are our Father; our Redeemer from Everlasting is Your name.
Bukankah Engkau Bapa kami? Abraham dan Yakub tidak mengenal kami. Tetapi Engkau ya TUHAN, adalah Bapa kami, Penyelamat kami sejak dahulu kala.
17 Why, O LORD, do You make us stray from Your ways and harden our hearts from fearing You? Return, for the sake of Your servants, the tribes of Your heritage.
Ya TUHAN, mengapa Kaubiarkan kami tersesat? Mengapa Engkau menegarkan hati kami sehingga kami tidak takut kepada-Mu? Kembalilah demi hamba-hamba-Mu, demi umat-Mu, milik pusaka-Mu.
18 For a short while Your people possessed Your holy place, but our enemies have trampled Your sanctuary.
Mengapa Kaubiarkan musuh menginjak-injak Rumah-Mu, dan orang-orang mencemarkan bukit-Mu yang suci?
19 We have become like those You never ruled, like those not called by Your name.
Engkau memperlakukan kami seolah-olah Engkau tak pernah berkuasa atas kami; seolah-olah kami tak pernah menjadi umat-Mu.
