< Isaiah 62 >
1 Because of Zion I will not keep quiet, and because of Jerusalem I will take no rest, till her righteousness goes out like the shining of the sun, and her salvation like a burning light.
Demi Yerusalem aku akan berbicara, demi Sion aku tak akan tinggal diam, sampai ia diselamatkan dan kemenangannya bersinar seperti obor di waktu malam.
2 And the nations will see your righteousness, and all kings your glory: and you will have a new name, given by the mouth of the Lord.
Hai Yerusalem, bangsa-bangsa melihat kemenanganmu, raja-raja memandang kebesaranmu. Engkau akan disebut dengan nama baru, TUHAN sendiri yang memberi nama itu.
3 And you will be a fair crown in the hand of the Lord, and a king's head-dress in the hand of your God.
Engkau menjadi seperti mahkota indah di tangan TUHAN, mahkota kerajaan di tangan Allahmu.
4 You will not now be named, She who is given up; and your land will no longer be named, The waste land: but you will have the name, My pleasure is in her, and your land will be named, Married: for the Lord has pleasure in you, and your land will be married.
Namamu bukan lagi 'Yang Ditinggalkan', negerimu bukan lagi 'Yang Kesepian'. Engkau akan disebut, 'Yang Disayangi Allah', dan negerimu dinamakan, 'Yang Sudah Menikah,' sebab TUHAN berkenan kepadamu, Ia seperti suami bagi negerimu.
5 For as a young man takes a virgin for his wife, so will your maker be married to you: and as a husband has joy in his bride, so will the Lord your God be glad over you.
Seperti seorang pemuda mempersunting anak dara, begitulah Penciptamu akan memperistri engkau. Seperti seorang mempelai gembira melihat istrinya, begitulah Allah akan menyenangi engkau.
6 I have put watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem; they will not keep quiet day or night: you who are the Lord's recorders, take no rest,
Di tembok Yerusalem aku menempatkan pengawal; siang dan malam mereka tak boleh diam, tetapi harus terus mengingatkan Allah akan janji yang sudah dibuat-Nya.
7 And give him no rest, till he puts Jerusalem in her place to be praised in the earth.
Mereka tak boleh membiarkan Dia tinggal diam sebelum Ia membangun kembali Yerusalem, dan menjadikannya termasyhur di seluruh bumi.
8 The Lord has taken an oath by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, Truly, I will no longer give your grain to be food for your haters; and men of strange countries will not take the wine for which your work has been done:
TUHAN telah berjanji dengan sumpah dan akan melaksanakannya dengan kuasa-Nya: "Aku tak akan lagi memberikan gandummu kepada musuh; orang asing tak akan lagi minum anggurmu yang kamu hasilkan dengan susah payah.
9 But those who have got in the grain will have it for their food, and will give praise to the Lord; and those who have got in the grapes will take the wine of them in the open places of my holy house.
Tapi kamu yang mengumpulkan panenan, akan makan hasilnya dan memuji TUHAN; dan kamu yang memetik buah anggur, akan minum airnya di pelataran Rumah-Ku."
10 Go through, go through the doors; make ready the way of the people; let the highway be lifted up; let the stones be taken away; let a flag be lifted up over the peoples.
Penduduk Yerusalem, keluarlah lewat pintu gerbang, siapkan jalan bagi orang-orang yang pulang. Buatlah jalan raya, singkirkan batunya, tegakkan panji-panji untuk bangsa-bangsa.
11 The Lord has sent out word to the end of the earth, Say to the daughter of Zion, See, your saviour comes; those whom he has made free are with him, and those to whom he has given salvation go before him.
TUHAN memberi pesan ini kepada segala penjuru bumi, "Katakan kepada penduduk Sion, 'Lihat, TUHAN Penyelamat datang! Ia diiringi orang-orang yang telah dibebaskan-Nya.'"
12 And they will be named, The holy people, Those whose cause has been taken up by the Lord: and you will be named, Desired, A town not given up.
Mereka akan dinamakan: 'Umat suci'; 'Umat yang diselamatkan TUHAN'. Yerusalem akan disebut 'Kota yang dirayu TUHAN', 'Kota yang tidak lagi ditinggalkan TUHAN'.
