< Isaiah 63 >

1 Who is this who comes from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this who is glorious in his clothing, marching in the greatness of his strength? "It is I who speak in righteousness, mighty to save."
"Siapakah dia yang datang dari Bozra di Edom? bajunya merah, pakaiannya semarak; ia berjalan dengan gagah perkasa."
2 Why are you red in your clothing, and your garments like him who treads in the wine vat?
"Mengapa pakaianmu semerah itu, seperti baju pengirik buah anggur?"
3 "I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the peoples there was no man with me: yes, I trod them in my anger, and trampled them in my wrath; and their lifeblood is sprinkled on my garments, and I have stained all my clothing.
"Sendirian Aku masuk ke tempat pengirikan anggur di antara umat-Ku tak ada yang menolong Aku. Bangsa-bangsa Kuinjak-injak dalam kemarahan-Ku, seperti menginjak-injak buah anggur. Darah mereka menyembur membasahi baju-Ku, mencemarkan seluruh pakaian-Ku.
4 For the day of vengeance was in my heart, and the year of my redeemed has come.
Aku sudah merencanakan hari pembalasan, dan masa pembebasan bagi umat-Ku.
5 I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore my own arm brought salvation to me; and my wrath, it upheld me.
Aku mencari, tetapi tak ada yang menolong, Aku heran bahwa tak ada yang membantu. Lalu kekuatan-Ku sendiri menolong Aku, kemarahan-Ku membantu Aku.
6 I trod down the peoples in my anger, and made them drunk in my wrath, and I poured out their lifeblood on the earth."
Dalam kemarahan-Ku yang bernyala-nyala, Kuinjak-injak bangsa-bangsa; Kubinasakan mereka, dan darah mereka Kutumpahkan ke tanah."
7 I will make mention of the loving kindnesses of the LORD and the praises of the LORD, according to all that the LORD has bestowed on us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he has bestowed on them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.
Aku hendak mewartakan kasih TUHAN dan memuji Dia karena segala perbuatan-Nya. Dengan limpah Ia memberkati umat-Nya, karena Ia berbelaskasihan dan kasih-Nya tidak berkesudahan.
8 For he said, "Surely, they are my people, children who will not deal falsely:" so he was their Savior.
TUHAN berkata, "Sungguh, mereka adalah umat-Ku, anak-anak yang tidak mengecewakan." Maka Ia menjadi Penyelamat mereka,
9 In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bore them, and carried them all the days of old.
Ia sendiri ditimpa kesusahan mereka. TUHAN tidak mengirim utusan atau duta; Ia sendirilah yang membebaskan mereka karena kasih dan belaskasihan-Nya. Ia selalu memelihara mereka sejak dahulu kala.
10 But they rebelled, and grieved his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and he himself fought against them.
Tetapi mereka memberontak dan menyedihkan hati TUHAN. Maka Ia berbalik menjadi musuh mereka Ia sendiri berperang melawan mereka.
11 Then he remembered the days of old, Moses and his people, saying, Where is he who brought them up out of the sea with the shepherds of his flock? Where is he who put his holy Spirit in their midst?
Lalu mereka teringat zaman dahulu, zaman Musa, hamba TUHAN. Mereka bertanya, "Di manakah TUHAN yang menuntun para pemimpin umat-Nya melalui laut? Di manakah TUHAN yang memberi kuasa-Nya kepada mereka?
12 who caused his glorious arm to go at the right hand of Moses? who divided the waters before them, to make himself an everlasting name?
Di manakah TUHAN yang mendampingi Musa dengan tangan-Nya yang kuat perkasa, dan membelah air di depan mereka supaya nama-Nya termasyhur selama-lamanya?
13 who led them through the depths, as a horse in the wilderness, so that they did not stumble?
Di manakah TUHAN yang menuntun mereka berjalan melalui air yang dalam? Seperti kuda melalui padang gurun, mereka tidak pernah tersandung."
14 As the livestock that go down into the valley, the Spirit of the LORD caused them to rest; so you led your people, to make yourself a glorious name.
TUHAN membawa mereka ke tempat perhentian, seperti ternak digiring untuk merumput di padang. Begitulah Ia membimbing umat-Nya, supaya nama-Nya diagungkan.
15 Look down from heaven, and see from the habitation of your holiness and of your glory: where are your zeal and your mighty acts? the yearning of your heart and your compassion is restrained toward me.
Ya TUHAN, pandanglah dari surga, dari kediaman-Mu yang suci dan mulia. Di manakah kasih dan keperkasaan-Mu? Di manakah kerahiman dan belas kasih-Mu? Janganlah menahan itu dari kami.
16 For you are our Father, though Abraham doesn't know us, and Israel does not acknowledge us: you, LORD, are our Father; our Redeemer from everlasting is your name.
Bukankah Engkau Bapa kami? Abraham dan Yakub tidak mengenal kami. Tetapi Engkau ya TUHAN, adalah Bapa kami, Penyelamat kami sejak dahulu kala.
17 O LORD, why do you make us to stray from your ways, and harden our heart from your fear? Return for your servants' sake, the tribes of your inheritance.
Ya TUHAN, mengapa Kaubiarkan kami tersesat? Mengapa Engkau menegarkan hati kami sehingga kami tidak takut kepada-Mu? Kembalilah demi hamba-hamba-Mu, demi umat-Mu, milik pusaka-Mu.
18 Your holy people possessed it but a little while: our adversaries have trodden down your sanctuary.
Mengapa Kaubiarkan musuh menginjak-injak Rumah-Mu, dan orang-orang mencemarkan bukit-Mu yang suci?
19 We have become as they over whom you never bear rule, as those who were not called by your name.
Engkau memperlakukan kami seolah-olah Engkau tak pernah berkuasa atas kami; seolah-olah kami tak pernah menjadi umat-Mu.
