Isaiah 14
1 [But] Yahweh will act mercifully toward the Israeli people; he will choose [the people of] Israel [to be his people again], and he will allow them to [return here and] live in their own land again. Then people from [many] other countries will come here and unite with the Israeli people.
Sebab TUHAN akan menyayangi Yakub dan akan memilih Israel sekali lagi dan akan membiarkan mereka tinggal di tanah mereka, maka orang asing akan menggabungkan diri kepada mereka dan akan berpadu dengan kaum keturunan Yakub.
2 People of other nations will help them to return to their [own] land, and those who come from other countries will (work for/become the servants of) the Israeli people. Those who captured people of Israel will be captured by Israeli soldiers, and the people of Israel will rule over the people who [previously] oppressed them.
Bangsa-bangsa lain akan mengantar Israel pulang ke tempatnya, lalu kaum Israel akan memiliki bangsa-bangsa itu di tanah TUHAN sebagai hamba-hamba lelaki dan hamba-hamba perempuan. Demikianlah mereka akan menawan orang-orang yang menawan mereka dan akan berkuasa atas para penindas mereka.
3 Some day Yahweh will free you [Israeli people] from suffering and trouble and from being afraid, and from being cruelly treated as slaves [MTY].
Maka pada hari TUHAN mengakhiri kesakitan dan kegelisahanmu dan kerja paksa yang berat yang dipaksakan kepadamu,
4 When that happens, you will make fun of the King of Babylon by saying this: “You treated us cruelly, but that has ended! Your insolently causing others to suffer is finished!
maka engkau akan memperdengarkan ejekan ini tentang raja Babel, dan berkata: "Wah, sudah berakhir si penindas sudah berakhir orang lalim!
5 You evil ruler, Yahweh will get rid of your power, and you will oppress people no longer!
TUHAN telah mematahkan tongkat orang-orang fasik, gada orang-orang yang memerintah,
6 You attacked people many times because you were very angry with them, and you subdued/conquered [other] nations by causing them to suffer endlessly.
yang memukul bangsa-bangsa dengan gemas, dengan pukulan yang tidak putus-putusnya; yang menginjak-injak bangsa-bangsa dalam murka dengan tiada henti-hentinya.
7 [But soon] everything will be quiet and peaceful on the earth. Everyone [PRS] will sing [again]!
Segenap bumi sudah aman dan tenteram; orang bergembira dengan sorak-sorai.
8 [It will be as though] even the trees in the forests will joyfully sing this song, the cyprus/pine [trees] and the cedar [trees] in Lebanon will sing it: ‘You (have been overthrown/are no longer a ruler), and now no one comes to get rid of us [MET].’
Juga pohon-pohon sanobar dan pohon-pohon aras di Libanon bersukacita karena kejatuhanmu, katanya: 'Dari sejak engkau rebah terbaring, tidak ada lagi orang yang naik untuk menebang kami!'
9 The dead people are [PRS] are eagerly waiting for you to come to the place where they are. The spirits of the world leaders will be delighted to welcome you; those who were kings of many nations [before they died] will stand up [to welcome you]. (Sheol h7585)
Dunia orang mati yang di bawah gemetar untuk menyongsong kedatanganmu, dijagakannya arwah-arwah bagimu, yaitu semua bekas pemimpin di bumi; semua bekas raja bangsa-bangsa dibangunkannya dari takhta mereka. (Sheol h7585)
10 They will all shout to you [together], ‘Now you are as weak as we are!’
Sekaliannya mereka mulai berbicara dan berkata kepadamu: 'Engkau juga telah menjadi lemah seperti kami, sudah menjadi sama seperti kami!'
11 You were very proud and powerful, [but all] that ended when you died, along with the sounds of harps [being played in your palace]. [Now in your grave] maggots will be under you [like a sheet] [MET], and worms will cover you [like a blanket] [MET]. (Sheol h7585)
Ke dunia orang mati sudah diturunkan kemegahanmu dan bunyi gambus-gambusmu; ulat-ulat dibentangkan sebagai lapik tidurmu, dan cacing-cacing sebagai selimutmu." (Sheol h7585)
12 You have [disappeared from the earth like] [MET] a star which has fallen from the sky; you [were very well-known] [like] [MET] the morning star [which is seen by everyone]; you destroyed [many] nations, but now you have been destroyed.
"Wah, engkau sudah jatuh dari langit, hai Bintang Timur, putera Fajar, engkau sudah dipecahkan dan jatuh ke bumi, hai yang mengalahkan bangsa-bangsa!
13 You [proudly] said to yourself, ‘I will ascend to heaven, to my throne above God’s stars. I will rule on the mountain where [the gods] gather together, far in the north.
Engkau yang tadinya berkata dalam hatimu: Aku hendak naik ke langit, aku hendak mendirikan takhtaku mengatasi bintang-bintang Allah, dan aku hendak duduk di atas bukit pertemuan, jauh di sebelah utara.
14 I will ascend above the clouds and become like the highest/greatest god!’
Aku hendak naik mengatasi ketinggian awan-awan, hendak menyamai Yang Mahatinggi!
15 [But you were not able to do that]; instead, you were carried down to your grave, and you went to the place where the dead people are. (Sheol h7585)
Sebaliknya, ke dalam dunia orang mati engkau diturunkan, ke tempat yang paling dalam di liang kubur. (Sheol h7585)
16 The [other dead] people there stare at you; they wonder what happened to you. [They say], ‘Is this the man who caused the earth to shake and caused the [people in many] kingdoms to tremble?
Orang-orang yang melihat engkau akan memperhatikan dan mengamat-amati engkau, katanya: Inikah dia yang telah membuat bumi gemetar, dan yang telah membuat kerajaan-kerajaan bergoncang,
17 Is this the man who [tried to] cause the world to become a desert, who conquered its cities and did not allow the people whom he captured to return to their homes?’
yang telah membuat dunia seperti padang gurun, dan menghancurkan kota-kotanya, yang tidak melepaskan orang-orangnya yang terkurung pulang ke rumah?
18 All the kings of the earth [who have died] were greatly honored when they were buried,
Semua bekas raja bangsa-bangsa berbaring dalam kemuliaan, masing-masing dalam rumah kuburnya.
19 but your [corpse will] not be buried; it will be thrown away like [SIM] a worthless branch [of a tree]. Your corpse will be under a heap of other corpses of soldiers that were killed by [their enemies’] swords, and [their corpses] were not buried; you will be with those who have gone down to the stony ground in a big pit.
Tetapi engkau ini telah terlempar, jauh dari kuburmu, seperti taruk yang jijik, ditutupi dengan mayat orang-orang yang tertikam oleh pedang dan jatuh tercampak ke batu-batu liang kubur seperti bangkai yang terinjak-injak.
20 Your [corpse] will not be buried because you have destroyed your nation and have caused your people to be killed. The descendants of wicked people [like you] will never be honored again.
Engkau tidak akan bersama-sama dengan raja-raja itu di dalam kubur, sebab engkau telah merusak negerimu dan membunuh rakyatmu. Anak cucu orang yang berbuat jahat tidak akan disebut-sebut untuk selama-lamanya.
21 [People will say], ‘Slaughter this man’s children because of the sins that their ancestors committed! Do not allow them to become rulers and conquer [all the nations in] the world, and fill the world with the cities [that they rule]!’”
Dirikanlah bagi anak-anaknya tempat pembantaian, oleh karena kesalahan nenek moyang mereka, supaya mereka jangan bangun dan menduduki bumi dan memenuhi dunia dengan kota-kota."
22 [This is what] the Commander of the armies of angels says: “I [myself] will cause Babylon to be conquered. I will get rid of Babylon and its people and their descendants.
"Aku akan bangkit melawan mereka," demikianlah firman TUHAN semesta alam, "Aku akan melenyapkan nama Babel dan sisanya, anak cucu dan anak cicitnya," demikianlah firman TUHAN.
23 I will cause Babylon to be a place where owls live, a place full of swamps; I will get rid of it completely [as though] [MET] I were sweeping it with a broom. [That is what I], the Commander of the armies of angels, say.”
"Aku akan membuat Babel menjadi milik landak dan menjadi air rawa-rawa, dan kota itu akan Kusapu bersih dan Kupunahkan," demikianlah firman TUHAN semesta alam.
24 The Commander of the armies of angels has [also] solemnly promised this: “The things that I have planned will surely happen [DOU].
TUHAN semesta alam telah bersumpah, firman-Nya: "Sesungguhnya seperti yang Kumaksud, demikianlah akan terjadi, dan seperti yang Kurancang, demikianlah akan terlaksana:
25 [When the army of] Assyria is in my land [of Israel], I will crush them. [It will be as though] I will trample them on my mountains. My people will no longer be the slaves [MET] of the people of Assyria; [it will be as though] [MET] I will take away the burdens that are on their shoulders.
Aku akan membinasakan orang Asyur dalam negeri-Ku dan menginjak-injak mereka di atas gunung-Ku; kuk yang diletakkan mereka atas umat-Ku akan terbuang dan demikian juga beban yang ditimpakan mereka atas bahunya."
26 I have a plan for everyone on the earth, a plan to show my power [MTY] to punish all the nations.
Itulah rancangan yang telah dibuat mengenai seluruh bumi, dan itulah tangan yang teracung terhadap segala bangsa.
27 [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, have spoken, and no one can [RHQ] change my mind. When I raise my fist [to strike Assyria], no one [RHQ] will be able to stop me [from doing that].”
TUHAN semesta alam telah merancang, siapakah yang dapat menggagalkannya? Tangan-Nya telah teracung, siapakah yang dapat membuatnya ditarik kembali?
28 I received this message [from Yahweh] during the year that King Ahaz died:
Dalam tahun matinya raja Ahas datanglah ucapan ilahi ini:
29 You people of Philistia, do not rejoice that the enemy army [MET] that attacked you has been defeated and that their king is dead. He was [as dangerous as] [MET] a snake, but there will be another king, who will be more [dangerous] than a cobra; he will be [like] [MET] a quick-moving poisonous snake.
Janganlah bersukaria, hai segenap Filistea, karena walaupun gada orang yang memukul engkau sudah patah, tetapi dari keturunan ular itu akan keluar ular beludak, dan anaknya akan menjadi ular naga terbang.
30 Those of my people who are very poor will take care of their flocks of sheep, and the needy people will lie down safely, but I will cause you people [of Philistia] who are still alive [DOU] to die from famine.
Yang paling hina dari umat-Ku akan mendapat makanan dan orang-orang miskin akan diam dengan tenteram, tetapi keturunanmu akan Kumatikan dengan kelaparan, dan sisa-sisamu akan Kubunuh.
31 [So], you people of Philistia, wail at the gates of your cities! You should be extremely afraid, because [a very powerful army] will come from the north [to attack you]; [their chariots will stir up the dust like] [MET] a cloud of smoke. Each of their soldiers is ready to fight.
Merataplah, hai pintu gerbang! Berteriaklah, hai kota! Gemetarlah, hai segenap Filistea! Sebab di sebelah utara sudah mengepul asap perang, dan barisan musuh maju tanpa ada yang mundur.
32 If messengers [from Philistia] come to us [Israeli people], this is what we must [RHQ] tell them: “Yahweh has established Jerusalem, [not Philistia], and his people who are oppressed will be safe inside [the walls of] Jerusalem.”
Dan apakah jawab yang akan diberi kepada utusan-utusan bangsa itu? "TUHAN yang meletakkan dasar Sion, dan di sanalah orang-orang yang sengsara dari umat-Nya mendapat perlindungan."
