Isaiah 52
1 Awake, awake, put on your strength, O Zion, Put on the garments of your beauty, Jerusalem—the Holy City; For the uncircumcised and unclean no longer enter into you again.
Bangunlah, hai Yerusalem, bangunlah! Kuatkanlah hatimu! Kenakanlah pakaian kebesaranmu! Hai Yerusalem, kota yang suci, orang najis takkan lagi masuk lewat gerbangmu.
2 Shake yourself from dust, arise, sit, O Jerusalem, Bands of your neck have loosed themselves, O captive daughter of Zion.
Bangkitlah dari debu, hai Yerusalem, kebaskanlah abu yang melekat padamu. Lepaskanlah rantai yang mengikat lehermu, hai penduduk Sion yang tertawan!
3 For thus said YHWH: “You have been sold for nothing, And you are redeemed without money.”
TUHAN berkata kepada umat-Nya, "Kamu dijual dengan cuma-cuma, jadi sekarang dibebaskan dengan cuma-cuma juga.
4 For thus said Lord YHWH: “My people went down at first To Egypt to sojourn there, And Asshur—he has oppressed it for nothing.
Dahulu kamu pergi ke Mesir dan tinggal di situ sebagai orang asing. Kemudian Asyur memeras kamu tanpa alasan.
5 And now, what [have] I here,” A declaration of YHWH, “That My people are taken for nothing? Its rulers cause howling,” A declaration of YHWH, “And My Name is continually despised all the day.
Sekarang apa urusan-Ku di sini? Orang Babel menawan kamu dengan begitu saja. Mereka yang menindas kamu menyombong dan terus-menerus menghina Aku.
6 Therefore My people know My Name, Therefore, in that day, Surely I [am] He who is speaking, behold Me.”
Sebab itu kamu akan mengakui bahwa Aku Allah, dan pada waktu itu kamu akan tahu bahwa Akulah yang berbicara kepadamu."
7 How lovely on the mountains, Have been the feet of one proclaiming tidings, Sounding peace, proclaiming good tidings, Sounding salvation, Saying to Zion, “Your God has reigned.”
Alangkah senangnya melihat kedatangan utusan; ia berjalan melintasi pegunungan dan membawa kabar baik, kabar sejahtera, berita keselamatan bagi Sion; katanya, "Allahmu Raja!"
8 The voice of your watchmen! They have lifted up the voice, together they cry aloud, Because they see eye to eye, In YHWH’s turning back [to] Zion.
Dengarlah pekik gembira pengawal kota, mereka bersorak-sorak bersama! Sebab dengan mata kepala sendiri mereka melihat TUHAN kembali ke Sion.
9 Break forth, sing together, O ruins of Jerusalem, For YHWH has comforted His people, He has redeemed Jerusalem.
Bersoraksorailah, hai puing-puing Yerusalem, sebab TUHAN menghibur umat-Nya dan membebaskan Yerusalem.
10 YHWH has made His holy arm bare Before the eyes of all the nations, And all the ends of the earth have seen The salvation of our God.
TUHAN menunjukkan kekuasaan-Nya di depan mata segala bangsa. Maka seluruh bumi akan menyaksikan keselamatan dari Allah kita.
11 Turn aside, turn aside, go out from there, Do not touch the unclean, Go out from her midst, Be pure, who are carrying the weapons of YHWH.
Pergilah! Tinggalkanlah kota Babel, hai kamu yang membawa perkakas rumah Allah! Janganlah menyentuh barang yang najis: sucikanlah dirimu sebelum berangkat.
12 For you do not go out in haste, Indeed, you do not go on with flight, For YHWH [is] going before you, And the God of Israel [is] gathering you!
Kamu tidak akan terburu-buru pergi, dan tidak seperti orang yang melarikan diri. Sebab TUHAN akan membimbing kamu; Allah Israel melindungi kamu dari segala penjuru.
13 “Behold, My Servant acts wisely, He is high, and has been lifted up, And has been very high.”
TUHAN berkata, "Sesungguhnya, hamba-Ku akan berhasil; ia akan disanjung dan ditinggikan.
14 As many have been astonished at You (His appearance so marred by man, And His form by sons of men),
Dahulu banyak orang terkejut melihat dia, rupanya dirusak sehingga tidak seperti manusia lagi.
15 So He sprinkles many nations. Kings shut their mouth concerning Him, For that which was not recounted to them they have seen, And that which they had not heard they have understood!
Tapi sekarang banyak bangsa dibuatnya heran, raja-raja membisu karena tercengang. Mereka akan melihat dan mengerti, yang sebelumnya tidak mereka ketahui."
