Isaiah 50
1 This is [also] what Yahweh says: “You [Israeli children], do not think [RHQ] that I [forced your parents to be exiled/taken to Babylonia] [MET] like some men send away their wives after giving them a paper on which they state that they were divorcing them! I certainly did not [RHQ] get rid of you like a man who sells his children to get money to pay what he owes. No, the reason that I forced you to be exiled [was to punish you] because of the sins that you have committed [DOU].
Beginilah firman TUHAN: "Di manakah gerangan surat cerai ibumu tanda Aku telah mengusir dia? Atau kepada siapakah di antara penagih hutang-Ku Aku pernah menjual engkau? Sesungguhnya, oleh karena kesalahanmu sendiri kamu terjual dan oleh karena pelanggaranmu sendiri ibumu diusir.
2 When I came to you [to rescue you], why did no one answer when I called out to you [RHQ]? Was there no one there [RHQ]? Or, did you think that I do not have the power [MTY] to rescue you [DOU]? Think about this: I can speak to a sea and cause it to become dry! I can cause rivers to become deserts, with the result that the fish in the rivers die from thirst and they rot.
Mengapa ketika Aku datang tidak ada orang, dan ketika Aku memanggil tidak ada yang menjawab? Mungkinkah tangan-Ku terlalu pendek untuk membebaskan atau tidak adakah kekuatan pada-Ku untuk melepaskan? Sesungguhnya, dengan hardik-Ku Aku mengeringkan laut, Aku membuat sungai-sungai menjadi padang gurun; ikan-ikannya berbau amis karena tidak ada air dan mati kehausan.
3 I cause the sky to become dark, [as though] [MET] it was wearing black clothes [because it was mourning because someone had died].”
Aku mengenakan pakaian kelam kepada langit dan menyelimutinya dengan kain kabung."
4 Yahweh our God has given me his wise message [MTY] in order that I may encourage those who are weary. Each morning he awakens me, in order that I [SYN] may listen to what he teaches [SIM] me.
Tuhan ALLAH telah memberikan kepadaku lidah seorang murid, supaya dengan perkataan aku dapat memberi semangat baru kepada orang yang letih lesu. Setiap pagi Ia mempertajam pendengaranku untuk mendengar seperti seorang murid.
5 Yahweh our God has spoken to me [IDM], and I have not rejected what he told me; I have accepted [LIT] it.
Tuhan ALLAH telah membuka telingaku, dan aku tidak memberontak, tidak berpaling ke belakang.
6 I allowed people to beat me on my back and to pull out the whiskers in my beard [because they hated me]. I did not turn away [MTY] from them when they made fun of me and spat on me.
Aku memberi punggungku kepada orang-orang yang memukul aku, dan pipiku kepada orang-orang yang mencabut janggutku. Aku tidak menyembunyikan mukaku ketika aku dinodai dan diludahi.
7 But, because the Lord our God helps me, I will never be humiliated. Therefore, I am strongly determined [IDM] to face/endure difficulties, and I know that nothing will cause me to be ashamed.
Tetapi Tuhan ALLAH menolong aku; sebab itu aku tidak mendapat noda. Sebab itu aku meneguhkan hatiku seperti keteguhan gunung batu karena aku tahu, bahwa aku tidak akan mendapat malu.
8 God, the one who vindicates me, is near to me; so if anyone [RHQ] stands in front of me and accuses me in a court, he will not be able [to show that I have done anything that is wrong].
Dia yang menyatakan aku benar telah dekat. Siapakah yang berani berbantah dengan aku? Marilah kita tampil bersama-sama! Siapakah lawanku berperkara? Biarlah ia mendekat kepadaku!
9 The Lord our God defends me [in court], so no one [RHQ] will be able to (condemn me/declare that I am guilty). All those who accuse me will disappear like [SIM] old clothes that have been eaten by ([larvae of] moths/cockroaches).
Sesungguhnya, Tuhan ALLAH menolong aku; siapakah yang berani menyatakan aku bersalah? Sesungguhnya, mereka semua akan memburuk seperti pakaian yang sudah usang; ngengat akan memakan mereka.
10 If you revere Yahweh and do what his servant tells you to do, even if you are (walking in darkness/enduring suffering), and it seems that [MET] there is no light, trust in Yahweh your God [DOU] [to help you].
Siapa di antaramu yang takut akan TUHAN dan mendengarkan suara hamba-Nya? Jika ia hidup dalam kegelapan dan tidak ada cahaya bersinar baginya, baiklah ia percaya kepada nama TUHAN dan bersandar kepada Allahnya!
11 But you people who [oppose me], [who would like to throw] me into a blazing fire, walk in your own fires and burn yourselves with your own torches! This is what Yahweh will cause to happen to you: You will be enduring great torment when you die [EUP]!
Sesungguhnya, kamu semua yang menyalakan api dan yang memasang panah-panah api, masuklah ke dalam nyala apimu, dan ke tengah-tengah panah-panah api yang telah kamu pasang! Oleh tangan-Kulah hal itu akan terjadi atasmu; kamu akan berbaring di tempat siksaan.
