Isaiah 3
1 The Commander of the armies of angels is about to take away from Jerusalem and [other places in] Judea everything that you depend on— all your food and water.
Maka sesungguhnya Tuhan, TUHAN semesta alam, akan menjauhkan dari Yerusalem dan dari Yehuda setiap orang yang mereka andalkan, segala persediaan makanan dan minuman:
2 He will take away your heroes and your [other] soldiers, your judges and your prophets, people who do rituals to find out what will happen in the future and the elders,
pahlawan dan orang perang, hakim dan nabi, petenung dan tua-tua,
3 army officers and [other] officials, advisors and skilled craftsmen and those who perform rituals to predict the future.
perwira dan orang yang terpandang, penasihat dan ahli sihir, dan orang yang paham mantera.
4 He will appoint boys to be your leaders; your children will rule you.
Aku akan mengangkat pemuda-pemuda menjadi pemimpin mereka, dan anak-anak akan memerintah atas mereka.
5 People will treat each other cruelly: people will fight against their neighbors. Young people will insult older people, and vulgar/dishonorable people will sneer at people who should be honored.
Maka bangsa itu akan desak-mendesak, seorang kepada seorang, yang satu kepada yang lain; orang muda akan membentak-bentak terhadap orang tua, orang hina terhadap orang mulia.
6 At that time, someone will grab one of his brothers in his father’s house and say to him, “You have a coat, [which shows that you are respected]. [So] you be our leader! You rule this [city, which is now] a pile of ruins!”
Sehingga apabila seorang memegang saudaranya di rumah ayahnya dan berkata: "Engkau masih mempunyai jubah, jadilah pemimpin kami, dan reruntuhan ini di bawah kuasamu",
7 [But] his brother will reply, “[No], I cannot help you, [because] I do not have [any extra] food or clothes in this house. [So] do not appoint me to be your leader!”
maka pada waktu itu saudaranya akan menjawab: "Aku tidak mau menjadi tabib; di rumahku tidak ada roti dan tidak ada jubah; janganlah angkat aku menjadi pemimpin bangsa."
8 Jerusalem and [the other towns in] Judah will be destroyed, because [everything] that the people do and say there opposes Yahweh, who is powerful and glorious, and they refuse to obey him. They rebel against him.
Sungguh, Yerusalem telah runtuh dan Yehuda telah rubuh; sebab perkataan mereka dan perbuatan mereka melawan TUHAN dan mereka menantang kemuliaan hadirat-Nya.
9 They even show on their faces that [they oppose Yahweh]. They are proud of their sins, like [the people of] Sodom were [long ago]; they do not try to hide their sins. [Because of their sins], terrible things will happen to them, [but] they will bring those disasters on themselves.
Air muka mereka menyatakan kejahatan mereka, dan seperti orang Sodom, mereka dengan terang-terangan menyebut-nyebut dosanya, tidak lagi disembunyikannya. Celakalah orang-orang itu! Sebab mereka mendatangkan malapetaka kepada dirinya sendiri.
10 [Yahweh told me to] tell the righteous people that good things will happen to them; they will enjoy the blessings that they will receive for their good deeds.
Katakanlah berbahagia orang benar! Sebab mereka akan memakan hasil pekerjaannya.
11 [But] terrible things will happen to wicked people; they will be (paid back/punished) for [the evil things that] [MTY] they have done.
Celakalah orang fasik! Malapetaka akan menimpanya, sebab mereka akan diperlakukan menurut perbuatannya sendiri.
12 [Now], youths [who have become leaders] treat my people cruelly, and women rule over my people. My people, your leaders are misleading you; they are causing you to go down the wrong road [MET].
Adapun umat-Ku, penguasa mereka ialah anak-anak, dan perempuan-perempuan memerintah atasnya. Hai umat-Ku, pemimpin-pemimpinmu adalah penyesat, dan jalan yang kamu tempuh mereka kacaukan!
13 [It is as though] Yahweh has sat in his place in a courtroom and is ready to judge his people.
TUHAN mengambil tempat untuk menuntut dan berdiri untuk mengadili bangsa-bangsa.
14 He will stand up to declare why the elders and rulers of his people should be punished: [he says], “The people of Israel are [like] [MET] a vineyard that I planted, but you have ruined it! Your houses are full of things that you have stolen from poor people.
TUHAN bertindak sebagai hakim atas tua-tua dan pemimpin-pemimpin umat-Nya: "Kamulah yang memusnahkan kebun anggur itu, barang rampasan dari orang yang tertindas tertumpuk di dalam rumahmu.
15 You should stop [RHQ] crushing my people! [It is as though] you are pushing the faces of poor people into the dirt!” [That is what] the Commander of the armies of angels says.
Mengapa kamu menyiksa umat-Ku dan menganiaya orang-orang yang tertindas?" demikianlah firman Tuhan ALLAH semesta alam.
16 Yahweh says this: “The women of Jerusalem are haughty/proud; they walk around sticking their chins out, and flirting [with men] with their eyes. They walk with tiny steps with bracelets on their ankles that jingle.
TUHAN berfirman: Oleh karena wanita Sion telah menjadi sombong dan telah berjalan dengan jenjang leher dan dengan main mata, berjalan dengan dibuat-buat langkahnya dan gemerencing dengan giring-giring kakinya,
17 So I, Yahweh, will cause sores to be on their heads, and I will cause those beautiful women in Jerusalem to become bald.”
maka Tuhan akan membuat batu kepala wanita Sion penuh kudis dan TUHAN akan mencukur rambut sebelah dahi mereka.
18 At the time [that Yahweh does that], he will strip away everything that the women of Jerusalem wear to make themselves beautiful—the ornaments on their ankles and their headbands, their crescent necklaces,
Pada waktu itu Tuhan akan menjauhkan segala perhiasan mereka: gelang-gelang kaki, jamang-jamang dan bulan-bulanan;
19 their earrings and bracelets and veils,
perhiasan-perhiasan telinga, pontoh-pontoh dan kerudung-kerudung;
20 their scarves and ankle bracelets and sashes, their perfumes and (charms/little things that they wear thinking that those things will protect them from evil),
perhiasan-perhiasan kepala, gelang-gelang rantai kaki, tali-tali pinggang, tempat-tempat wewangian dan jimat-jimat;
21 their signet rings and nose rings,
cincin meterai dan anting-anting hidung;
22 their nice robes and capes and cloaks and purses,
pakaian-pakaian pesta, jubah-jubah, selendang-selendang dan pundi-pundi;
23 their mirrors and nice linen clothes and shawls.
cermin-cermin, baju-baju dalam dari kain lenan, ikat-ikat kepala dan baju-baju luar.
24 Instead of their having a nice smell from perfume, they will stink; instead of nice sashes, they will have ropes [around their waists because they will be captives]. Instead of having fancy hairdos, they will be bald. Instead of fancy/beautiful robes, they will wear rough sackcloth, and instead of being beautiful, they will be branded.
Maka sebagai ganti rempah-rempah harum akan ada bau busuk, sebagai ganti ikat pinggang seutas tali, sebagai ganti selampit rambut kepala yang gundul, sebagai ganti pakaian hari raya sehelai kain kabung; dan tanda selar sebagai ganti kemolekan.
25 Their husbands will be killed by [their enemies’] swords, and their soldiers [will also die] in battles.
Orang-orangmu akan tewas oleh pedang, dan pahlawan-pahlawanmu oleh perang.
26 People [PRS] will mourn and cry at the gates [of the city]. The city will [be like] [MET] a woman who sits on the ground because everything that she owned is gone.
Pintu-pintu gerbang Sion akan mengaduh dan berkabung, dan kota itu akan seperti perempuan bulus yang duduk di bumi.
