Isaiah 58

1 [Yahweh said to me], “Shout loudly! Shout like [SIM] a loud trumpet! Shout to warn my Israeli people about their sins [DOU]!

Serukanlah kuat-kuat, janganlah tahan-tahan! Nyaringkanlah suaramu bagaikan sangkakala, beritahukanlah kepada umat-Ku pelanggaran mereka dan kepada kaum keturunan Yakub dosa mereka!

2 They worship me every day; [they come to my temple because they say that] they are eager to know what I want them to do. They act as though they are a nation that does things that are righteous, who would never abandon their God. They request me to decide matters justly, and they delight to come to worship me.

Memang setiap hari mereka mencari Aku dan suka untuk mengenal segala jalan-Ku. Seperti bangsa yang melakukan yang benar dan yang tidak meninggalkan hukum Allahnya mereka menanyakan Aku tentang hukum-hukum yang benar, mereka suka mendekat menghadap Allah, tanyanya:

3 [They say], ‘We have (fasted/abstained from eating food) to please you, but you did not [RHQ] notice our doing that. We humbled ourselves, but you did not [RHQ] pay any attention!’ I will tell you why I did not pay attention. It is because when you fast, you do it only to please yourselves, and you act cruelly toward all your workers.

"Mengapa kami berpuasa dan Engkau tidak memperhatikannya juga? Mengapa kami merendahkan diri dan Engkau tidak mengindahkannya juga?" Sesungguhnya, pada hari puasamu engkau masih tetap mengurus urusanmu, dan kamu mendesak-desak semua buruhmu.

4 You fast, but you also quarrel and fight [with each other] with your fists. [Doing things like that while] you fast will [certainly] not cause [me] to hear your prayers [where I am], high in heaven.

Sesungguhnya, kamu berpuasa sambil berbantah dan berkelahi serta memukul dengan tinju dengan tidak semena-mena. Dengan caramu berpuasa seperti sekarang ini suaramu tidak akan didengar di tempat tinggi.

5 You [act as though] [IRO] you humble yourselves [RHQ] by bowing your heads like [SIM] [the tops of] reeds bend [when the wind blows], and you wear [RHQ] rough clothes and cover your heads with ashes [like people do when they are grieving]. That is what you do when you are fasting, but do you really think [RHQ] that will please me?

Sungguh-sungguh inikah berpuasa yang Kukehendaki, dan mengadakan hari merendahkan diri, jika engkau menundukkan kepala seperti gelagah dan membentangkan kain karung dan abu sebagai lapik tidur? Sungguh-sungguh itukah yang kausebutkan berpuasa, mengadakan hari yang berkenan pada TUHAN?

6 No, that is not the kind of fasting that I desire. What I really want [RHQ] is for you to free those who have been unjustly put in prison [DOU], and to encourage those who are (treated cruelly/oppressed); I want you to free those who have been oppressed in any way.

Bukan! Berpuasa yang Kukehendaki, ialah supaya engkau membuka belenggu-belenggu kelaliman, dan melepaskan tali-tali kuk, supaya engkau memerdekakan orang yang teraniaya dan mematahkan setiap kuk,

7 I want you to [RHQ] share your food with those who are hungry and to allow those who have no houses to stay in your houses. Give clothes to those who do not have clothes, and do not hide from your relatives who need help from you.

supaya engkau memecah-mecah rotimu bagi orang yang lapar dan membawa ke rumahmu orang miskin yang tak punya rumah, dan apabila engkau melihat orang telanjang, supaya engkau memberi dia pakaian dan tidak menyembunyikan diri terhadap saudaramu sendiri!

8 If you do those things, [what you do for others will be like] [SIM] a light that shines when it dawns. The troubles [that have been caused by your sins] will end quickly. Others will know about your righteous behavior, and with my glorious presence I will protect you from behind [like I protected the Israeli people when they left Egypt].

Pada waktu itulah terangmu akan merekah seperti fajar dan lukamu akan pulih dengan segera; kebenaran menjadi barisan depanmu dan kemuliaan TUHAN barisan belakangmu.

9 Then you will call out to me, and I will [quickly] answer [and say that I will help you].’ Stop (oppressing people/treating people cruelly); stop falsely accusing people; and stop saying evil [things about people].

Pada waktu itulah engkau akan memanggil dan TUHAN akan menjawab, engkau akan berteriak minta tolong dan Ia akan berkata: Ini Aku! Apabila engkau tidak lagi mengenakan kuk kepada sesamamu dan tidak lagi menunjuk-nunjuk orang dengan jari dan memfitnah,

10 Give food to those who are hungry, and give to people who are afflicted/suffering the things that they need. [Your doing that will be like] [MET] a light that shines in the darkness; instead of doing evil to people [MET], [the good things that you do for them will be like] [SIM] sunshine at noontime.

apabila engkau menyerahkan kepada orang lapar apa yang kauinginkan sendiri dan memuaskan hati orang yang tertindas maka terangmu akan terbit dalam gelap dan kegelapanmu akan seperti rembang tengah hari.

11 [I], Yahweh, will guide you continually, and I will give you good things to satisfy you. I will enable you to remain strong and healthy. You will be like [SIM] a garden that is well watered, like [SIM] a spring that never dries up.

TUHAN akan menuntun engkau senantiasa dan akan memuaskan hatimu di tanah yang kering, dan akan membaharui kekuatanmu; engkau akan seperti taman yang diairi dengan baik dan seperti mata air yang tidak pernah mengecewakan.

12 [Your people] will rebuild the cities that were destroyed long ago; they will build [houses] on top of the old foundations. People will say that you are the ones who are repairing the holes [in the city walls], and who are repairing the streets where people live.

Engkau akan membangun reruntuhan yang sudah berabad-abad, dan akan memperbaiki dasar yang diletakkan oleh banyak keturunan. Engkau akan disebutkan "yang memperbaiki tembok yang tembus", "yang membetulkan jalan supaya tempat itu dapat dihuni".

13 Do not travel [MTY] long distances on Sabbath/rest days, and on Sabbath days do not do only the things that you delight to do. Enjoy the Sabbath days, and consider them to be delightful. The Sabbath days are my holy days. Honor me, Yahweh, in everything that you do [on the Sabbath days]. Do not talk about and do things [only] to please yourselves. If you do all the things that I have just now told you to do,

Apabila engkau tidak menginjak-injak hukum Sabat dan tidak melakukan urusanmu pada hari kudus-Ku; apabila engkau menyebutkan hari Sabat "hari kenikmatan", dan hari kudus TUHAN "hari yang mulia"; apabila engkau menghormatinya dengan tidak menjalankan segala acaramu dan dengan tidak mengurus urusanmu atau berkata omong kosong,

14 I will enable you to be joyful. I will greatly honor you; [I will honor you everywhere!] I will give to you the [blessings] that I gave to your ancestor Jacob. [Those things will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.”

maka engkau akan bersenang-senang karena TUHAN, dan Aku akan membuat engkau melintasi puncak bukit-bukit di bumi dengan kendaraan kemenangan; Aku akan memberi makan engkau dari milik pusaka Yakub, bapa leluhurmu, sebab mulut Tuhanlah yang mengatakannya.
