Isaiah 2
1 The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
Inilah pesan Allah tentang Yehuda dan Yerusalem yang diterima Yesaya anak Amos:
2 And it shall come to pass in the end of days, [that] the mountain of Jehovah's house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be lifted up above the hills; and all the nations shall flow unto it.
Di hari-hari mendatang bukit tempat Rumah TUHAN menjulang tinggi dan berdiri tegak di atas gunung-gunung dan bukit-bukit. Segala bangsa berduyun-duyun ke sana,
3 And many peoples shall go and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths. For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and Jehovah's word from Jerusalem.
mereka semua berkata, "Mari kita naik ke Bukit TUHAN, ke rumah Allah Israel. Ia akan mengajarkan kepada kita apa yang harus kita lakukan. Kita akan mengikuti jalan-Nya, sebab ajaran TUHAN datang dari Yerusalem, Ia berbicara dari Sion."
4 And he shall judge among the nations, and shall reprove many peoples; and they shall forge their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning-knives: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
Ia akan menghakimi antara bangsa-bangsa, dan memutuskan perkara antara suku-suku bangsa. Pedang akan ditempa menjadi bajak, dan tombak dijadikan pisau pemangkas. Bangsa-bangsa tidak lagi saling menyerang, tidak juga bersiap-siap hendak berperang.
5 House of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of Jehovah.
Hai, keturunan Yakub, mari kita berjalan dalam terang TUHAN!
6 For thou hast cast off thy people, the house of Jacob, because they are filled [with what comes] from the east, and use auguries like the Philistines, and ally themselves with the children of foreigners.
Ya Allah, Engkau telah meninggalkan umat-Mu, keturunan Yakub! Sebab di mana-mana di negeri ini orang memakai ilmu gaib yang berasal dari timur dan dari Filistin. Orang-orang meniru adat istiadat asing.
7 And their land is full of silver and gold, and there is no end of their treasures: their land also is full of horses, and there is no end of their chariots.
Negerinya penuh perak dan emas, dan harta bendanya tidak terhingga. Kudanya amat banyak, dan keretanya tidak terhitung jumlahnya.
8 And their land is full of idols; they bow themselves down to the work of their own hands, to that which their fingers have made.
Di mana-mana ada berhala, dan mereka menyembah patung-patung buatan mereka sendiri.
9 And the mean man shall be bowed down, and the great man shall be brought low: and do not thou forgive them!
Setiap orang akan dihina dan direndahkan. Jangan mengampuni mereka ya TUHAN!
10 Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, from before the terror of Jehovah, and from the glory of his majesty.
Mereka akan masuk ke dalam gua-gua di bukit-bukit karang, atau menggali lubang di dalam tanah supaya luput dari kemarahan TUHAN dan dari kuasa-Nya yang mulia.
11 The lofty eyes of man shall be brought low, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and Jehovah alone shall be exalted in that day.
Orang sombong akan direndahkan dan orang angkuh ditundukkan. Hanya TUHAN sendiri yang diagungkan.
12 For there shall be a day of Jehovah of hosts upon everything proud and lofty, and upon everything lifted up, and it shall be brought low;
Pada hari itu TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa akan merendahkan semua yang meninggikan diri dan menghukum semua yang sombong dan yang angkuh.
13 and upon all the cedars of Lebanon, high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan;
Pohon-pohon cemara yang tinggi di Libanon dan semua pohon besar di Basan akan dibinasakan.
14 and upon all the lofty mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up;
Gunung-gunung dan bukit-bukit yang megah akan diratakan.
15 and upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall;
Menara-menara yang tinggi dan tembok-tembok benteng akan dirobohkan.
16 and upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant works of art.
Kapal-kapal yang paling besar dan paling indah akan ditenggelamkan.
17 And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be brought low; and Jehovah alone shall be exalted in that day:
Orang sombong akan direndahkan, dan orang angkuh ditundukkan. Hanya TUHAN sendiri yang diagungkan.
18 and the idols shall utterly pass away.
Berhala-berhala akan hilang sama sekali.
19 And they shall go into the caves of the rocks, and into the holes of the earth, from before the terror of Jehovah, and from the glory of his majesty, when he shall arise to terrify the earth.
Pada saat TUHAN bangkit dan menggoncangkan bumi, orang akan masuk ke dalam gua-gua di bukit-bukit karang atau menggali lubang di dalam tanah supaya luput dari kemarahan TUHAN dan dari kuasa-Nya yang mulia. Apabila hari itu tiba, berhala-berhala perak dan emas yang mereka buat dan sembah itu akan ditinggalkan begitu saja untuk tikus dan kelelawar.
20 In that day men shall cast away their idols of silver and their idols of gold, which they made [each] for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats;
21 to go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the fissures of the cliffs, from before the terror of Jehovah, and from the glory of his majesty, when he shall arise to terrify the earth.
22 Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils; for what account is to be made of him?
Jadi, janganlah berharap kepada manusia yang fana, sebab ia tidak berharga.
