Isaiah 50
1 This is what the Lord says: Where's your mother's divorce certificate I gave her when I sent her away? Which of my creditors did I sell you to? Now look! You were sold because of your sins, and your mother was sent away because of your wrongdoing.
TUHAN berkata kepada Israel, "Hai umat-Ku, sangkamu Aku mengusir engkau seperti seorang suami mengusir istrinya? Kalau begitu, di mana surat cerainya? Sangkamu Aku menjual engkau, seperti seorang bapak menjual anaknya kepada penagih hutang? Bukan! Engkau ditawan dan dibuang, karena dosa dan kejahatanmu sendiri!
2 When I came, why wasn't anyone there? When I called, why didn't anyone answer? Is it because I don't have the strength to save you, or the power to rescue you? Can't you see that if I order it, the sea will dry up? I can turn rivers into a desert. Their fish stink because they've died of thirst since there's no water.
Mengapa dari umat-Ku tak seorang pun menjawab, waktu Aku datang memanggil mereka? Apakah mereka diam saja karena menyangka Aku tak mampu membebaskan dan menyelamatkan mereka? Sesungguhnya, atas perintah-Ku laut menjadi kering, sungai-sungai Kujadikan padang gurun, sehingga ikan-ikan mati dan berbau amis.
3 I can make the heavens go dark, covering them with sackcloth like they're in mourning.
Langit Kujadikan hitam kelam, Aku menutupinya seperti dengan kain kabung."
4 The Lord God has given me the ability to teach others, to know how to encourage those who are exhausted with a word. He wakes me up every morning; he helps me listen as a disciple.
TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi mengajar aku berbicara, supaya perkataanku menguatkan orang yang lesu. Setiap pagi Ia membangkitkan hasratku untuk mendengarkan ajaran-Nya bagiku.
5 The Lord God has instructed me, and I haven't been rebellious and I haven't turned away.
TUHAN memberi aku pengertian; aku tidak berontak atau berbalik daripada-Nya.
6 I offered my back for people to beat me and my cheeks for people to pull my beard. I didn't hide my face from their mocking and spitting.
Kuberi punggungku kepada orang yang memukul aku; dan pipiku kepada orang yang mencabut jenggotku. Aku tidak memalingkan mukaku waktu aku dihina dan diludahi.
7 The Lord God helps me, so I haven't been disgraced. That's why I'm so determined, setting my face hard as stone, knowing I won't be humiliated.
Sebab TUHAN Allah menolong aku, maka aku tidak dipermalukan. Aku menguatkan hatiku supaya tabah; aku tahu aku tak akan dipermalukan.
8 The one who vindicates me is close by, so who will bring charges against me? Let's stand to oppose one another! Come on, anyone who wants to accuse me!
Sebab Allah dekat, Ia menyatakan aku tidak bersalah. Siapa mau berbantah dengan aku? Mari kita tampil bersama-sama. Siapakah yang melawan aku? Suruhlah ia mendekat padaku.
9 The Lord God defends me. Who is going to declare me guilty? Look! Those who try will fall apart like old clothing, eaten up by moths.
Sungguh, TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi membela aku, siapa berani menyatakan aku bersalah? Semua yang menuduh aku akan lenyap seperti kain usang dimakan ngengat.
10 Who among you respects the Lord and obeys what his servant says? Who among you walks in darkness and doesn't have light? Let them trust in the Lord and put their confidence in God.
Hai kamu yang menghormati TUHAN, dan mendengarkan perkataan hamba-Nya, jalan yang kamu tempuh mungkin gelap, dan tak ada cahaya yang bersinar bagimu; tetapi percayalah pada TUHAN; bertopanglah pada Allahmu.
11 Beware all you who start a fire, who pick up blazing torches! Go ahead, walk in the light of your own fire and of the torches you yourselves have set alight! This is what you will receive from me: You are going to lie down in a place of suffering.
Hai kamu yang mau mencelakakan orang lain, kamu akan dibinasakan oleh rencanamu sendiri. Tuhanlah yang membuat itu terjadi, kamu akan disiksa dengan hebat.
