Isaiah 52
1 Awake! awake! put on your strength, O Zion; put on your beautiful robes, O Jerusalem, the holy town: for from now there will never again come into you the unclean and those without circumcision.
Terjagalah, terjagalah! Kenakanlah kekuatanmu seperti pakaian, hai Sion! Kenakanlah pakaian kehormatanmu, hai Yerusalem, kota yang kudus! Sebab tidak seorangpun yang tak bersunat atau yang najis akan masuk lagi ke dalammu.
2 Make yourself clean from the dust; up! and take the seat of your power, O Jerusalem: the bands of your neck are loose, O prisoned daughter of Zion.
Kebaskanlah debu dari padamu, bangunlah, hai Yerusalem yang tertawan! Tanggalkanlah ikatan-ikatan dari lehermu, hai puteri Sion yang tertawan!
3 For the Lord says, You were given for nothing, and you will be made free without price.
Sebab beginilah firman TUHAN: Kamu dijual tanpa pembayaran, maka kamu akan ditebus tanpa pembayaran juga.
4 For the Lord God says, My people went down at first into Egypt, to get a place for themselves there: and the Assyrian put a cruel yoke on them without cause.
Sebab beginilah firman Tuhan ALLAH: Dahulu umat-Ku berangkat ke Mesir untuk tinggal di situ sebagai orang asing, lalu Asyur memeras dia tanpa alasan.
5 Now then, what have I here? says the Lord, for my people are taken away without cause; they are made waste and give cries of sorrow, says the Lord, and all the day the nations put shame on my name.
Tetapi sekarang, apakah lagi urusan-Ku di sini? demikianlah firman TUHAN. Umat-Ku sudah dirampas begitu saja. Mereka yang berkuasa atas dia memegahkan diri, demikianlah firman TUHAN, dan nama-Ku terus dihujat sepanjang hari.
6 For this cause I will make my name clear to my people; in that day they will be certain that it is my word which comes to them; see, here am I.
Sebab itu umat-Ku akan mengenal nama-Ku dan pada waktu itu mereka akan mengerti bahwa Akulah Dia yang berbicara, ya Aku!
7 How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him who comes with good news, who gives word of peace, saying that salvation is near; who says to Zion, Your God is ruling!
Betapa indahnya kelihatan dari puncak bukit-bukit kedatangan pembawa berita, yang mengabarkan berita damai dan memberitakan kabar baik, yang mengabarkan berita selamat dan berkata kepada Sion: "Allahmu itu Raja!"
8 The voice of your watchmen! their voices are loud in song together; for they will see him, eye to eye, when the Lord comes back to Zion.
Dengarlah suara orang-orang yang mengawal engkau: mereka bersama-sama bersorak-sorai. Sebab dengan mata kepala sendiri mereka melihat bagaimana TUHAN kembali ke Sion.
9 Give sounds of joy, make melody together, waste places of Jerusalem: for the Lord has given comfort to his people, he has taken up the cause of Jerusalem.
Bergembiralah, bersorak-sorailah bersama-sama, hai reruntuhan Yerusalem! Sebab TUHAN telah menghibur umat-Nya, telah menebus Yerusalem.
10 The Lord has let his holy arm be seen by the eyes of all nations; and all the ends of the earth will see the salvation of our God.
TUHAN telah menunjukkan tangan-Nya yang kudus di depan mata semua bangsa; maka segala ujung bumi melihat keselamatan yang dari Allah kita.
11 Away! away! go out from there, touching no unclean thing; go out from among her; be clean, you who take up the vessels of the Lord.
Menjauhlah, menjauhlah! Keluarlah dari sana! Janganlah engkau kena kepada yang najis! Keluarlah dari tengah-tengahnya, sucikanlah dirimu, hai orang-orang yang mengangkat perkakas rumah TUHAN!
12 For you will not go out suddenly, and you will not go in flight: for the Lord will go before you, and the God of Israel will come after you to keep you.
Sungguh, kamu tidak akan buru-buru keluar dan tidak akan lari-lari berjalan, sebab TUHAN akan berjalan di depanmu, dan Allah Israel akan menjadi penutup barisanmu.
13 See, my servant will do well in his undertakings, he will be honoured, and lifted up, and be very high.
Sesungguhnya, hamba-Ku akan berhasil, ia akan ditinggikan, disanjung dan dimuliakan.
14 As peoples were surprised at him, And his face was not beautiful, so as to be desired: his face was so changed by disease as to be unlike that of a man, and his form was no longer that of the sons of men.
Seperti banyak orang akan tertegun melihat dia--begitu buruk rupanya, bukan seperti manusia lagi, dan tampaknya bukan seperti anak manusia lagi--
15 So will nations give him honour; kings will keep quiet because of him: for what had not been made clear to them they will see; and they will give their minds to what had not come to their ears.
demikianlah ia akan membuat tercengang banyak bangsa, raja-raja akan mengatupkan mulutnya melihat dia; sebab apa yang tidak diceritakan kepada mereka akan mereka lihat, dan apa yang tidak mereka dengar akan mereka pahami.
