Isaiah 6
1 During the year that King Uzziah died, [Yahweh showed me a vision. In the vision], I saw Yahweh sitting on a throne, high above everyone. He [was wearing a very long] robe that covered [the floor of] the temple.
Dalam tahun matinya raja Uzia aku melihat Tuhan duduk di atas takhta yang tinggi dan menjulang, dan ujung jubah-Nya memenuhi Bait Suci.
2 Above him were standing [several] winged creatures. Each of them had six wings. They covered their faces with two of their wings, they covered their feet with two of their wings, and they flew using two of their wings.
Para Serafim berdiri di sebelah atas-Nya, masing-masing mempunyai enam sayap; dua sayap dipakai untuk menutupi muka mereka, dua sayap dipakai untuk menutupi kaki mereka dan dua sayap dipakai untuk melayang-layang.
3 They were calling to each other, saying, “The Commander of the armies of angels is holy; he is completely holy! The entire earth is filled with his glory.”
Dan mereka berseru seorang kepada seorang, katanya: "Kudus, kudus, kuduslah TUHAN semesta alam, seluruh bumi penuh kemuliaan-Nya!"
4 When they spoke, it caused the doorposts of the temple to shake, and the temple was filled with smoke.
Maka bergoyanglah alas ambang pintu disebabkan suara orang yang berseru itu dan rumah itupun penuhlah dengan asap.
5 Then I said, “Terrible things will happen to me, because everything that I say [MTY] is sinful, and I live among people who constantly say [MTY] sinful things. I will be destroyed because I have seen the Commander of the armies of angels!”
Lalu kataku: "Celakalah aku! aku binasa! Sebab aku ini seorang yang najis bibir, dan aku tinggal di tengah-tengah bangsa yang najis bibir, namun mataku telah melihat Sang Raja, yakni TUHAN semesta alam."
6 Then one of the winged creatures took a hot coal from the altar, using a pair of tongs. He flew to me
Tetapi seorang dari pada Serafim itu terbang mendapatkan aku; di tangannya ada bara, yang diambilnya dengan sepit dari atas mezbah.
7 and touched my lips with the coal. Then he said, “Look [at what I have done]. I have touched your lips [with this coal]. [Now] your guilt is ended, and your sins are forgiven [DOU].”
Ia menyentuhkannya kepada mulutku serta berkata: "Lihat, ini telah menyentuh bibirmu, maka kesalahanmu telah dihapus dan dosamu telah diampuni."
8 Then I heard Yahweh asking, “Whom shall I send [to be a messenger to my people]? Who will go [and speak] for us?” I replied, “I will. Send me!”
Lalu aku mendengar suara Tuhan berkata: "Siapakah yang akan Kuutus, dan siapakah yang mau pergi untuk Aku?" Maka sahutku: "Ini aku, utuslah aku!"
9 Then he said, “[Okay], go, and say to the [Israeli] people, ‘You will listen carefully [to what I say], but you will not understand it. You will look very carefully [at the things that I am doing], but you will not understand them.’
Kemudian firman-Nya: "Pergilah, dan katakanlah kepada bangsa ini: Dengarlah sungguh-sungguh, tetapi mengerti: jangan! Lihatlah sungguh-sungguh, tetapi menanggap: jangan!
10 [What you(sg) say will] cause these people to become stubborn [IDM]; [it will cause them] to not be able to hear [what I say] and see [what I do]. [As a result, they will not] see [what I want them to see] or hear [what I want them to hear], and they will not understand it, and they will not turn to me and be saved [from being punished].”
Buatlah hati bangsa ini keras dan buatlah telinganya berat mendengar dan buatlah matanya melekat tertutup, supaya jangan mereka melihat dengan matanya dan mendengar dengan telinganya dan mengerti dengan hatinya, lalu berbalik dan menjadi sembuh."
11 Then I said, “How long [do you want me to continue to do that]?” He replied, “[Do it] until their cities are ruined [by their enemies], [until] no one is living in their houses, [do it until] all the crops are stolen from their fields and the fields are ruined.
Kemudian aku bertanya: "Sampai berapa lama, ya Tuhan?" Lalu jawab-Nya: "Sampai kota-kota telah lengang sunyi sepi, tidak ada lagi yang mendiami, dan di rumah-rumah tidak ada lagi manusia dan tanah menjadi sunyi dan sepi.
12 [Do it] until I have (exiled everyone/forced everyone to go to their enemies’ lands) far away, and the whole land [of Israel] is deserted.
TUHAN akan menyingkirkan manusia jauh-jauh, sehingga hampir seluruh negeri menjadi kosong.
13 If [even] one tenth [of the people survive and] stay there, [their enemies] will [invade the land again and] burn everything. [But, just] like [MET] when an oak [tree] is cut down, a stump is left [from which new shoots will grow], the people who remain [in this land will be a group that will become large again] and be (set apart for/dedicated to) me.”
Dan jika di situ masih tinggal sepersepuluh dari mereka, mereka harus sekali lagi ditimpa kebinasaan, namun keadaannya akan seperti pohon beringin dan pohon jawi-jawi yang tunggulnya tinggal berdiri pada waktu ditebang. Dan dari tunggul itulah akan keluar tunas yang kudus!"
