Isaiah 5
1 Let me sing for my well beloved a song of my beloved about his vineyard. My beloved had a vineyard on a very fruitful hill.
Dengarlah nyanyianku tentang kebun anggur sahabatku. Sahabatku mempunyai kebun anggur di lereng bukit yang subur.
2 He dug it up, gathered out its stones, planted it with the choicest vine, built a tower in its midst, and also cut out a winepress in it. He looked for it to yield grapes, but it yielded wild grapes.
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 "Now, inhabitants of Jerusalem and men 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 could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? Why, when I looked for it to yield grapes, did it yield wild grapes?
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 Now I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard. I will take away its hedge, and it will be eaten up. I will break down its wall of it, and it will be trampled down.
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 I will lay it a wasteland. It won't be pruned nor hoed, but it will grow briers and thorns. I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain on it."
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 For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for justice, but, look, oppression; for righteousness, but, look, a cry of distress.
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 who join house to house, who lay field to field, until there is no room, and you are made to dwell alone 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 In my ears, the LORD of hosts says: "Surely many houses will be desolate, even great and beautiful, unoccupied.
Kudengar TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa bersumpah, "Rumah-rumah yang besar dan bagus ini semuanya akan kosong tanpa penghuni.
10 For ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and a homer of seed shall yield 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 who rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; who stay late into the night, until wine inflames them.
Celakalah kamu! Dari pagi sampai malam kerjamu hanya minum minuman keras dan bermabuk-mabuk.
12 The harp, lyre, tambourine, and flute, with wine, are at their feasts; but they do not regard the work of the LORD, neither have they considered the operation 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 go into captivity for lack of knowledge. Their honorable men are famished, and their multitudes are parched with 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 its desire, and opened its mouth without measure; and their glory, their multitude, their pomp, and he who rejoices among them, descend into it. (Sheol h7585)
Moncong maut terbuka lebar-lebar untuk menelan orang-orang terkemuka di Yerusalem bersama rakyat yang ramai-ramai berpesta. (Sheol h7585)
15 So man is brought low, humankind is humbled, and the eyes of the arrogant ones are humbled;
Setiap orang akan dipermalukan, dan yang sombong direndahkan.
16 but the LORD of hosts is exalted in justice, and God the Holy One is 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 Then the lambs will graze as in their pasture, and kids will eat the ruins of the rich.
Di reruntuhan kota anak kambing dan domba akan merumput dan tidak kekurangan makanan.
18 Woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of falsehood, and wickedness as with cart rope;
Celakalah kamu yang berdosa terus-menerus!
19 Who say, "Let him make speed, let him hasten his work, that we may see it; and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw near and come, that we may know it."
Katamu, "Biarlah TUHAN Allah kudus Israel cepat bertindak! Biarlah Ia melaksanakan rencana-Nya, supaya kita melihat dan tahu."
20 Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put 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 those who are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight.
Celakalah kamu yang menganggap diri bijaksana dan sangat pintar!
22 Woe to those who are mighty to drink wine, and champions at mixing strong drink;
Celakalah kamu yang jago minum anggur! Kamu pemberani dan hebat kalau harus mencampur minuman keras!
23 who acquit the guilty for a bribe, but deny justice for the innocent.
Tetapi hanya untuk mendapat uang suap, kamu membebaskan orang bersalah, dan mencegah orang tak bersalah mendapat keadilan.
24 Therefore as the tongue of fire devours the stubble, and as the dry grass sinks down in the flame, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust; because they have rejected the law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word 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 LORD's anger burns against his people, and he has stretched out his hand against them, and has struck them. The mountains tremble, and their dead bodies are as refuse in the midst of the streets. For all this, his anger is not turned away, but his hand is still 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 He will lift up a banner to the nations from far, and he will whistle for them from the far regions of the earth. Look, they will come speedily and swiftly.
TUHAN akan memanggil bangsa yang jauh dan mereka akan datang dengan cepat!
27 None shall be weary nor stumble among them; none shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the belt of their waist be untied, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken:
Mereka selalu siap berperang dan tak kenal lelah. Mereka tak pernah tidur atau mengantuk.
28 whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent. Their horses' hoofs will be like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind.
Anak panahnya tajam dan busurnya siap menembak. Kuku kudanya sekeras batu api, dan roda keretanya berputar seperti angin puting beliung.
29 Their roaring will be like a lioness. They will roar like young lions. Yes, they shall roar, and seize their prey and carry it off, and there will be no one to deliver.
Para prajuritnya mengaum seperti singa yang baru saja menerkam mangsanya, lalu membawanya lari, dan tak ada yang dapat melepaskannya.
30 They will roar against them in that day like the roaring of the sea. If one looks to the land look, darkness and distress. The light is darkened in its clouds.
Pada hari itu di seluruh Israel terdengar pekik pertempuran sekeras deru laut. Lihatlah, seluruh negeri itu gelap dan penuh kesesakan. Terang menjadi gelap gulita.
