Isaiah 25
1 O Lord, you are my God! I will exalt you, and I will confess your name. For you have accomplished miracles. Your plan, from antiquity, is faithful. Amen.
TUHAN, Engkaulah Allahku, kuagungkan Engkau dan kupuji nama-Mu. Sebab karya-karya-Mu sangat menakjubkan; Engkau merencanakannya sejak dahulu, dan melaksanakannya dengan setia.
2 For you have appointed a city as a tomb, a strong city for ruination, a house of foreigners: so that it may not be a city, and so that it may not be rebuilt forever.
Kota itu sudah Kauhancurkan; kota berkubu itu menjadi reruntuhan. Istana yang dibangun orang asing telah musnah, dan tidak dibangun lagi untuk selama-lamanya.
3 Concerning this, a strong people will praise you; a city with a robust people will fear you.
Engkau akan dipuji oleh bangsa-bangsa yang kuat, dan ditakuti di kota-kota bangsa-bangsa yang kejam.
4 For you have been the strength of the poor, the strength of the indigent in his tribulation, a refuge from the whirlwind, a shadow from the heat. For the spirit of the mighty is like a whirlwind striking against a wall.
Sebab Engkau menjadi pengungsian bagi orang lemah, tempat yang aman bagi orang miskin dalam kesesakan. Engkaulah perlindungan terhadap angin ribut, naungan terhadap panas terik. Sebab orang kejam menyerang seperti topan di musim hujan,
5 You will bring low the uprising of foreigners, just as heat brings thirst. And like heat under a torrential cloud, you will cause the offshoot of the strong to wither away.
seperti angin panas di tanah yang gersang. Tetapi Engkau membuat musuh kami bungkam, Kauhentikan teriakan orang-orang kejam, seperti naungan awan menghilangkan panas terik.
6 And the Lord of hosts will cause all the peoples on this mountain to feast on fatness, to feast on wine, a fatness full of marrow, a purified wine.
Di Bukit Sion, TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa akan menyiapkan perjamuan untuk semua bangsa di dunia. Ia menghidangkan makanan yang paling lezat dan anggur yang terpilih.
7 And he will cast down violently, on this mountain, the face of the chains, with which all peoples had been bound, and the net, with which all nations had been covered.
Di atas bukit itu Ia akan menyingkapkan awan kesedihan yang menyelubungi bangsa-bangsa.
8 He will violently cast down death forever. And the Lord God will take away the tears from every face, and he will take away the disgrace of his people from the entire earth. For the Lord has spoken it.
TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa akan membinasakan maut untuk selama-lamanya! Ia akan menghapus air mata dari setiap wajah, dan menjauhkan kehinaan yang ditanggung umat-Nya di seluruh bumi. TUHAN sudah berbicara, dan hal itu pasti terjadi.
9 And they will say in that day: “Behold, this is our God! We have waited for him, and he will save us. This is the Lord! We have endured for him. We will exult and rejoice in his salvation.”
Pada waktu itu orang akan berkata, "Sesungguhnya, Dialah Allah kita; Dialah yang kita nantikan, supaya kita diselamatkan. Sungguh, inilah TUHAN; Dialah yang kita nantikan. Sekarang kita bersorak gembira, sebab Ia sudah menyelamatkan kita."
10 For the hand of the Lord will rest upon this mountain. And Moab will be trampled under him, just as stubble is worn away by a wagon.
TUHAN akan melindungi Bukit Sion, tetapi Moab akan diinjak-injak seperti jerami di tempat sampah.
11 And he will extend his hands under him, like a swimmer extending his hands to swim. And he will bring down his glory with a clap of his hands.
Penduduknya akan mengulurkan tangannya seperti orang yang mau berenang. Tetapi TUHAN akan merendahkan keangkuhan mereka sehingga mereka tidak berdaya.
12 And the fortifications of your sublime walls will fall, and be brought low, and be torn down to the ground, even to the dust.
Benteng-benteng Moab dengan tembok-temboknya yang tinggi akan dirobohkan-Nya dan dicampakkan-Nya ke tanah sampai hancur seperti debu.
