Isaiah 50
1 Thus says YHWH, "Where is the bill of your mother's divorce, with which I have put her away? or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Look, for your iniquities were you sold, and for your transgressions was your mother put away.
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 Why, when I came, was there no man? When I called, was there none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it can't redeem? or have I no power to deliver? Look, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stink, because there is no water, and die for thirst.
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 clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering."
Langit Kujadikan hitam kelam, Aku menutupinya seperti dengan kain kabung."
4 YHWH has given me the tongue of those who are taught, that I may know how to sustain with a word him who is weary: he wakens morning by morning, he wakens my ear to hear as those who are taught.
TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi mengajar aku berbicara, supaya perkataanku menguatkan orang yang lesu. Setiap pagi Ia membangkitkan hasratku untuk mendengarkan ajaran-Nya bagiku.
5 YHWH has opened my ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away backward.
TUHAN memberi aku pengertian; aku tidak berontak atau berbalik daripada-Nya.
6 I gave my back to those who strike, and my cheeks to those who tore out my beard; I did not cover my face from insults 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 But YHWH will help me; therefore I have not been confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be disappointed.
Sebab TUHAN Allah menolong aku, maka aku tidak dipermalukan. Aku menguatkan hatiku supaya tabah; aku tahu aku tak akan dipermalukan.
8 He is near who justifies me; who will bring charges against me? Let us stand up together: who is my adversary? Let him come near to 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 Look, YHWH will help me; who is he who shall condemn me? Look, all they shall wax old as a garment, the moth shall eat them up.
Sungguh, TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi membela aku, siapa berani menyatakan aku bersalah? Semua yang menuduh aku akan lenyap seperti kain usang dimakan ngengat.
10 Who is among you who fears YHWH, who listens to the voice of his servant? He who walks in darkness, and has no light, let him trust in the name of YHWH, and rely on his 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 Look, all you who kindle a fire, who adorn yourselves with flaming arrows around yourselves; walk in the light of your fire, and among the flaming arrows that you have kindled. You shall have this of my hand; you shall lie down in sorrow.
Hai kamu yang mau mencelakakan orang lain, kamu akan dibinasakan oleh rencanamu sendiri. Tuhanlah yang membuat itu terjadi, kamu akan disiksa dengan hebat.
