Isaiah 5
1 Now let me sing for my Beloved, A song of my Beloved as to His vineyard: My beloved has a vineyard in a fruitful hill,
Dengarlah nyanyianku tentang kebun anggur sahabatku. Sahabatku mempunyai kebun anggur di lereng bukit yang subur.
2 And He fences it, and casts out its stones, And plants it [with] a choice vine, And builds a tower in its midst, And has also hewn out a winepress in it, And He waits for the yielding of grapes, And it yields bad ones!
Ia mencangkul tanahnya dan membuang batu-batunya. Ditanamnya anggur pilihan dibangunnya menara penjagaan. Digalinya sebuah lubang tempat memeras anggurnya, lalu ia menunggu buahnya matang, tapi hasilnya buah anggur yang asam.
3 And now, O inhabitant of Jerusalem and man of Judah, Please judge between Me and My vineyard.
Jadi sekarang sahabat-Ku berkata, "Kamu semua, penduduk Yerusalem dan Yehuda, adililah antara kebun anggur-Ku dan Aku.
4 What [is there] to do still to My vineyard, That I have not done in it? For what reason have I waited for the yielding of grapes, And it yields [only] bad ones?
Apa lagi yang harus Kubuat, tapi belum Kulakukan untuk kebun anggur-Ku itu? Mengapa buah asam yang dihasilkannya, dan bukan buah baik seperti yang Kuharapkan?
5 And now, pray, let Me cause you to know, That which I am doing to My vineyard, To turn its hedge aside, And it has been for consumption, To break down its wall, And it has been for a treading-place.
Begini akan Kuperlakukan kebun anggur-Ku itu: Pagar yang mengelilinginya akan Kucabut, tembok yang melindunginya akan Kurobohkan, lalu Kubiarkan binatang buas merusak dan menginjak-injaknya.
6 And I make it a waste, It is not pruned, nor arranged, And brier and thorn have gone up, And I lay a charge on the thick clouds, From raining on it rain.
Aku akan membiarkannya ditumbuhi tanaman liar. Pohon anggurnya tak akan Kupangkas, dan tak akan Kusiangi. Malah Kubiarkan ditutupi semak berduri dan rumput, bahkan awan-awan Kularang menjatuhkan hujan ke atasnya."
7 Because the vineyard of YHWH of Hosts [Is] the house of Israel, And the man of Judah His pleasant plant, And He waits for judgment, and behold, oppression, For righteousness, and behold, a cry.
Sebab kebun anggur TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa adalah umat Israel, dan orang-orang Yehuda adalah pohon anggur yang ditanam-Nya. Dari mereka Ia mengharapkan keadilan, tetapi hanya ada kelaliman. Ia harapkan mereka menegakkan kebenaran, tetapi hanya ada jeritan minta keadilan.
8 Woe [to] those joining house to house, They bring field near to field, Until there is no place, And you have been settled by yourselves In the midst of the land!
Celakalah kamu yang membeli rumah-rumah dan menyerobot ladang-ladang untuk menambah milikmu! Tak lama lagi habislah tempat untuk orang lain dan hanya kamulah yang tinggal di negeri itu.
9 Do many houses not become a desolation by the weapons of YHWH of Hosts? Great and good without inhabitant!
Kudengar TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa bersumpah, "Rumah-rumah yang besar dan bagus ini semuanya akan kosong tanpa penghuni.
10 For ten acres of vineyard yield one bath, And a homer of seed yields an ephah.
Hasil bumi akan gagal, kebun anggur yang luasnya sepuluh hektar cuma menghasilkan sepuluh liter air anggur. Seratus liter bibit cuma menghasilkan sepuluh liter gandum."
11 Woe [to] those rising early in the morning, They pursue strong drink! Lingering in twilight, wine inflames them!
Celakalah kamu! Dari pagi sampai malam kerjamu hanya minum minuman keras dan bermabuk-mabuk.
12 And harp, and stringed instrument, tambourine, and pipe, And wine, have been their banquets, And they do not behold the work of YHWH, Indeed, they have not seen the work of His hands.
Pada pesta-pestamu ada bunyi kecapi, gambus, rebana dan suling dan minuman anggur. Tetapi kamu tidak peduli akan karya TUHAN dan apa yang dilakukan-Nya.
13 Therefore my people removed without knowledge, And its honorable ones are famished, And its multitude dried up of thirst.
Sebab itu umat-Ku yang tak tahu apa-apa akan digiring pergi sebagai tawanan. Para pemimpin dan rakyat akan mati kelaparan dan kehausan.
14 Therefore Sheol has enlarged herself, And has opened her mouth without limit. And its honor has gone down, and its multitude, And its noise, and its exulting one—into her. (Sheol h7585)
Moncong maut terbuka lebar-lebar untuk menelan orang-orang terkemuka di Yerusalem bersama rakyat yang ramai-ramai berpesta. (Sheol h7585)
15 And the low is bowed down, and the high humbled, And the eyes of the haughty become low,
Setiap orang akan dipermalukan, dan yang sombong direndahkan.
16 And YHWH of Hosts is high in judgment, And the Holy God sanctified in righteousness,
Tetapi TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa menunjukkan kebesaran-Nya dengan melakukan apa yang benar. Ia akan memperlihatkan kesucian-Nya dengan mengadili bangsa-Nya.
17 And lambs have fed according to their leading, And sojourners consume wastelands of the fat ones.
Di reruntuhan kota anak kambing dan domba akan merumput dan tidak kekurangan makanan.
18 Woe [to] those drawing out iniquity with cords of vanity, And as [with] thick ropes of the cart—sin.
Celakalah kamu yang berdosa terus-menerus!
19 Who are saying, “Let Him hurry, Let Him hurry His work, that we may see, And let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel Draw near and come, and we know.”
Katamu, "Biarlah TUHAN Allah kudus Israel cepat bertindak! Biarlah Ia melaksanakan rencana-Nya, supaya kita melihat dan tahu."
20 Woe [to] those saying to evil “good,” and to good “evil,” Putting darkness for light, and light for darkness, Putting bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter.
Celakalah kamu yang memutarbalikkan yang baik dan yang jahat, yang gelap dan yang terang, yang pahit dan yang manis!
21 Woe [to] the wise in their own eyes, And—before their own faces—intelligent!
Celakalah kamu yang menganggap diri bijaksana dan sangat pintar!
22 Woe [to] the mighty to drink wine, And men of strength to mingle strong drink.
Celakalah kamu yang jago minum anggur! Kamu pemberani dan hebat kalau harus mencampur minuman keras!
23 Declaring righteous the wicked for a bribe, And the righteousness of the righteous They turn aside from him.
Tetapi hanya untuk mendapat uang suap, kamu membebaskan orang bersalah, dan mencegah orang tak bersalah mendapat keadilan.
24 Therefore, as a tongue of fire devours stubble, And flaming hay falls, Their root is as muck, And their flower goes up as dust. Because they have rejected the Law of YHWH of Hosts, And despised the saying of the Holy One of Israel.
Kamu telah menolak ajaran TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa, dan menghina perintah Allah kudus Israel. Sebab itu, seperti jerami dan rumput kering habis terbakar dalam api, begitu juga akar-akarmu akan menjadi busuk, bunga-bungamu menjadi kering dan habis ditiup angin.
25 Therefore the anger of YHWH has burned among His people, And He stretches out His hand against it, And strikes it, and the mountains tremble, And their carcass is as filth in the midst of the out-places. With all this His anger did not turn back, And still His hand is stretched out!
TUHAN marah kepada bangsa-Nya. Ia sudah siap untuk menghukum mereka. Gunung-gunung akan goncang; mayat-mayat berserakan seperti sampah di jalan-jalan. Tetapi TUHAN masih marah dan tetap akan menghukum.
26 And He lifted up an ensign to the far-off nations, And hissed to it from the end of the earth, And behold, with haste, it comes swiftly.
TUHAN akan memanggil bangsa yang jauh dan mereka akan datang dengan cepat!
27 There is none weary, nor stumbling in it, It does not slumber, nor sleep, Nor has the girdle of its loins been opened, Nor the strap of its sandals drawn away.
Mereka selalu siap berperang dan tak kenal lelah. Mereka tak pernah tidur atau mengantuk.
28 Whose arrows [are] sharp, and all its bows bent, Hooves of its horses have been reckoned as flint, And its wheels as a windstorm!
Anak panahnya tajam dan busurnya siap menembak. Kuku kudanya sekeras batu api, dan roda keretanya berputar seperti angin puting beliung.
29 Its roaring [is] like a lioness, It roars like young lions, And it howls, and seizes prey, And carries away safely, and there is none delivering.
Para prajuritnya mengaum seperti singa yang baru saja menerkam mangsanya, lalu membawanya lari, dan tak ada yang dapat melepaskannya.
30 And it howls against it in that day as the howling of a sea, And it has looked attentively to the land, And behold, darkness—distress, And light has been darkened by its abundance!
Pada hari itu di seluruh Israel terdengar pekik pertempuran sekeras deru laut. Lihatlah, seluruh negeri itu gelap dan penuh kesesakan. Terang menjadi gelap gulita.
