Isaiah 19
1 [the] oracle of Egypt there! Yahweh [is] riding on a cloud swift and [is] coming Egypt and they will tremble [the] idols of Egypt from before him and [the] heart of Egypt it will melt within it.
Inilah pesan tentang Mesir. TUHAN datang ke Mesir mengendarai awan yang cepat. Berhala-berhala Mesir gemetar di hadapan-Nya dan orang Mesir berkecil hati.
2 And I will provoke Egypt against Egypt and they will fight each against brother his and each against neighbor his city against city kingdom against kingdom.
TUHAN berkata, "Aku akan membangkitkan perang saudara di Mesir: Saudara lawan saudara, tetangga lawan tetangga, kota lawan kota dan kerajaan lawan kerajaan.
3 And it will be disturbed [the] spirit of Egypt within it and plan its I will confuse and they will consult the idols and the mutterer and the necromancers and the soothsayers.
Aku akan menggagalkan rencana-rencana Mesir dan mematahkan semangat mereka. Mereka akan minta pertolongan kepada berhala-berhala, minta nasihat dan petunjuk kepada dukun-dukun dan roh-roh.
4 And I will hand over Egypt in [the] hand of a master cruel and a king strong he will rule over them [the] utterance of the lord Yahweh of hosts.
Mesir akan Kuserahkan ke tangan seorang raja lalim yang memerintah mereka dengan kejam. Aku, TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa, telah berbicara."
5 And they will be dried up waters from the sea and a river it will become dry and it will be dry.
Air Sungai Nil akan surut dan lambat laun mengering.
6 And they will stink [the] rivers they will be low and they will become dry [the] canals of Egypt reed[s] and rush[es] they will wither.
Terusan-terusan akan berbau busuk waktu airnya makin habis. Gelagah dan rumput akan menjadi layu.
7 Reeds at [the] River at [the] mouth of [the] River and all [the] sown land of [the] River it will be dry it will be driven about and there not [will be] it.
Seluruh persemaian di sepanjang tepi Sungai Nil akan menjadi kering lalu diterbangkan angin.
8 And they will lament the fishermen and they will mourn all [those who] cast in the River a fish hook and [those who] spread out a fishing net on [the] surface of [the] waters they will languish.
Para nelayan yang biasa menangkap ikan di sungai itu akan mengaduh dan meratap karena kail dan jala mereka tak berguna lagi. Para penenun akan putus asa;
9 And they will be ashamed workers of flax combed and [those who] weave white cloth.
mereka dan buruh upahan akan bersedih hati dan patah semangat.
10 And they will be foundations its crushed all [those who] work of wage[s] [will be] grieved of soul.
11 [are] only Fools [the] officials of Zoan [the] wise [people] of [the] counselors of Pharaoh counsel foolish how? will you say to Pharaoh [am] a son of wise [people] I a son of kings of ancient time.
Sungguh dungu pemimpin-pemimpin kota Zoan! Orang Mesir yang paling bijaksana memberi nasihat yang bodoh! Berani benar mereka mengatakan kepada raja bahwa mereka keturunan orang-orang bijak dan raja-raja di zaman purbakala!
12 Where [are]? they then wise [people] your so they may tell please to you so they may know what? has he planned Yahweh of hosts on Egypt.
Wahai, raja Mesir, di manakah penasihat-penasihat baginda yang pandai itu? Barangkali mereka tahu apa yang direncanakan TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa untuk Mesir.
13 They have become fools [the] officials of Zoan they have been deceived [the] officials of Memphis they have misled Egypt [the] corner of tribes its.
Para pemimpin Zoan dan Memfis adalah orang-orang dungu. Mereka bukannya memimpin, malahan menyesatkan bangsanya.
14 Yahweh he has mixed in midst its a spirit of confusion and they have misled Egypt in every deed its as is made to stagger a drunkard in vomit his.
Tuhanlah yang membuat mereka memberi nasihat yang membingungkan. Akibatnya, Mesir serba salah, dan terhuyung-huyung seperti orang mabuk yang terpeleset di atas muntahnya sendiri.
15 And not it will be for Egypt a deed which it will do head and tail palm branch and bulrush.
Di Mesir tak ada orang yang masih berdaya, baik penguasa maupun rakyat, baik orang penting maupun orang biasa.
16 In the day that it will be Egypt like women and it will tremble - and it will be in dread of [the] brandishing of [the] hand of Yahweh of hosts which he [is] brandishing on it.
Akan tiba saatnya bangsa Mesir menjadi seperti wanita yang pengecut dan penakut. Mereka gemetar ketakutan bila melihat TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa mengacungkan tangan-Nya untuk menghukum mereka.
17 And it will become [the] land of Judah to Egypt an object of terror every [one] whom someone will bring to remembrance it to him he will be in dread because of [the] plan of Yahweh of hosts which he [is] planning on it.
Tanah Yehuda menjadi kegemparan bagi orang Mesir setiap kali mereka diingatkan kepada keputusan TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa tentang mereka.
18 In the day that they will be five cities in [the] land of Egypt speaking [the] language of Canaan and swearing an oath to Yahweh of hosts [the] city of Destruction it will be called of one.
Pada waktu itu bahasa Ibrani akan dipakai dalam lima kota Mesir. Orang-orang di sana mengangkat sumpah demi nama TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa. Salah satu kota itu akan dinamakan "Kota Matahari".
19 In the day that it will be an altar to Yahweh in [the] middle of [the] land of Egypt and a pillar [will be] beside border its to Yahweh.
Pada waktu itu di pusat negeri Mesir akan ada sebuah mezbah untuk TUHAN, dan di perbatasannya sebuah tiang batu yang dikhususkan untuk TUHAN.
20 And it will become a sign and a witness to Yahweh of hosts in [the] land of Egypt that they will cry out to Yahweh because of oppressors and he may send to them a deliverer and [one who] contends and he will rescue them.
Mezbah dan tiang itu merupakan lambang kehadiran TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa di Mesir. Apabila bangsa itu ditindas, dan mereka berseru minta tolong kepada TUHAN, Ia akan mengutus seseorang untuk menyelamatkan mereka.
21 And he will make himself known Yahweh to Egypt and they will know Egypt Yahweh in the day that and they will serve sacrifice and offering and they will vow a vow to Yahweh and they will pay [it].
TUHAN akan menyatakan diri kepada bangsa Mesir, dan mereka akan mengenal dan menyembah Dia, serta membawa kurban dan persembahan kepada-Nya. Mereka akan mengucapkan janji kepada-Nya dengan sumpah dan melaksanakannya.
22 And he will strike Yahweh Egypt striking and healing and they will turn to Yahweh and he will be entreated by them and he will heal them.
TUHAN akan menghajar bangsa Mesir, tetapi sesudahnya Ia akan menyembuhkan mereka. Mereka akan berbalik kepada TUHAN, dan Ia akan mendengarkan doa mereka serta memberi kesembuhan.
23 In the day that it will be a highway from Egypt Assyria towards and it will go Assyria in Egypt and Egypt in Assyria and they will serve Egypt Assyria.
Pada waktu itu akan ada jalan raya antara Mesir dan Asyur. Penduduk dari kedua negeri itu akan pulang pergi lewat jalan itu dan mereka akan beribadat bersama-sama.
24 In the day that it will be Israel a third to Egypt and to Assyria a blessing in [the] midst of the earth.
Pada waktu itu Israel akan sama kedudukannya dengan Mesir dan Asyur, dan ketiga bangsa itu akan menjadi berkat bagi seluruh dunia.
25 Which he will bless it Yahweh of hosts saying [be] blessed people my Egypt and [the] work of hands my Assyria and inheritance my Israel.
TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa akan memberkati mereka dan berkata, "Kuberkati kamu, hai Mesir umat-Ku, Asyur ciptaan-Ku, dan Israel umat pilihan-Ku."
