Isaiah 52
1 Awake, awake, put on your strength, Zion; put on your beautiful garments, Jerusalem, the holy city, for there shall no more enter into you the uncircumcised and the unclean.
Terjagalah, terjagalah! Kenakanlah kekuatanmu seperti pakaian, hai Sion! Kenakanlah pakaian kehormatanmu, hai Yerusalem, kota yang kudus! Sebab tidak seorangpun yang tak bersunat atau yang najis akan masuk lagi ke dalammu.
2 Shake yourself from the dust. Arise, sit up, Jerusalem. Release yourself from the bonds of your neck, captive daughter of Zion.
Kebaskanlah debu dari padamu, bangunlah, hai Yerusalem yang tertawan! Tanggalkanlah ikatan-ikatan dari lehermu, hai puteri Sion yang tertawan!
3 For thus says YHWH, "You were sold for nothing; and you shall be redeemed without money."
Sebab beginilah firman TUHAN: Kamu dijual tanpa pembayaran, maka kamu akan ditebus tanpa pembayaran juga.
4 For thus says YHWH, "My people went down at the first into Egypt to live there, and the Assyrian oppressed them without cause.
Sebab beginilah firman Tuhan ALLAH: Dahulu umat-Ku berangkat ke Mesir untuk tinggal di situ sebagai orang asing, lalu Asyur memeras dia tanpa alasan.
5 "Now therefore, what do I do here," says YHWH, "seeing that my people are taken away for nothing? Those who rule over them mock," says YHWH. "Because of you, my name is continually all the day blasphemed among the nations.
Tetapi sekarang, apakah lagi urusan-Ku di sini? demikianlah firman TUHAN. Umat-Ku sudah dirampas begitu saja. Mereka yang berkuasa atas dia memegahkan diri, demikianlah firman TUHAN, dan nama-Ku terus dihujat sepanjang hari.
6 Therefore my people shall know my name; in that day they will know that I am he who speaks; look, it is I."
Sebab itu umat-Ku akan mengenal nama-Ku dan pada waktu itu mereka akan mengerti bahwa Akulah Dia yang berbicara, ya Aku!
7 How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news of good things, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, "Your God reigns."
Betapa indahnya kelihatan dari puncak bukit-bukit kedatangan pembawa berita, yang mengabarkan berita damai dan memberitakan kabar baik, yang mengabarkan berita selamat dan berkata kepada Sion: "Allahmu itu Raja!"
8 The voice of your watchmen. They lift up the voice, together do they sing; for they shall see eye to eye, when YHWH returns to Zion with compassion.
Dengarlah suara orang-orang yang mengawal engkau: mereka bersama-sama bersorak-sorai. Sebab dengan mata kepala sendiri mereka melihat bagaimana TUHAN kembali ke Sion.
9 Break forth into joy, sing together, you waste places of Jerusalem; for YHWH has comforted his people, he has redeemed Jerusalem.
Bergembiralah, bersorak-sorailah bersama-sama, hai reruntuhan Yerusalem! Sebab TUHAN telah menghibur umat-Nya, telah menebus Yerusalem.
10 YHWH has made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and every part of the earth has seen the salvation of our God.
TUHAN telah menunjukkan tangan-Nya yang kudus di depan mata semua bangsa; maka segala ujung bumi melihat keselamatan yang dari Allah kita.
11 Depart, depart, go out from there, and touch no unclean thing. Go out from their midst, and be separate, you who bear the vessels of YHWH.
Menjauhlah, menjauhlah! Keluarlah dari sana! Janganlah engkau kena kepada yang najis! Keluarlah dari tengah-tengahnya, sucikanlah dirimu, hai orang-orang yang mengangkat perkakas rumah TUHAN!
12 For you shall not depart in haste, nor shall you leave in flight; for YHWH will go before you, and the God of Israel will be your rear guard.
Sungguh, kamu tidak akan buru-buru keluar dan tidak akan lari-lari berjalan, sebab TUHAN akan berjalan di depanmu, dan Allah Israel akan menjadi penutup barisanmu.
13 Look, my servant shall deal wisely, he shall be exalted and lifted up, and shall be very high.
Sesungguhnya, hamba-Ku akan berhasil, ia akan ditinggikan, disanjung dan dimuliakan.
14 Just as many were astonished at you (his appearance was marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men),
Seperti banyak orang akan tertegun melihat dia--begitu buruk rupanya, bukan seperti manusia lagi, dan tampaknya bukan seperti anak manusia lagi--
15 so shall he sprinkle many nations; kings shall shut their mouths at him. For that which was not told about him, they will see, and what they have not heard, they will understand.
demikianlah ia akan membuat tercengang banyak bangsa, raja-raja akan mengatupkan mulutnya melihat dia; sebab apa yang tidak diceritakan kepada mereka akan mereka lihat, dan apa yang tidak mereka dengar akan mereka pahami.
