Isaiah 63

1 Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save.

"Siapakah dia yang datang dari Bozra di Edom? bajunya merah, pakaiannya semarak; ia berjalan dengan gagah perkasa."

2 Why art thou red in thy apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winepress?

"Mengapa pakaianmu semerah itu, seperti baju pengirik buah anggur?"

3 I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I will tread them in my anger, and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment.

"Sendirian Aku masuk ke tempat pengirikan anggur di antara umat-Ku tak ada yang menolong Aku. Bangsa-bangsa Kuinjak-injak dalam kemarahan-Ku, seperti menginjak-injak buah anggur. Darah mereka menyembur membasahi baju-Ku, mencemarkan seluruh pakaian-Ku.

4 For the day of vengeance is in my heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.

Aku sudah merencanakan hari pembalasan, dan masa pembebasan bagi umat-Ku.

5 And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore my own arm brought salvation to me; and my fury, it upheld me.

Aku mencari, tetapi tak ada yang menolong, Aku heran bahwa tak ada yang membantu. Lalu kekuatan-Ku sendiri menolong Aku, kemarahan-Ku membantu Aku.

6 And I will tread down the people in my anger, and make them drunk in my fury, and I will bring down their strength to the earth.

Dalam kemarahan-Ku yang bernyala-nyala, Kuinjak-injak bangsa-bangsa; Kubinasakan mereka, dan darah mereka Kutumpahkan ke tanah."

7 I will mention the lovingkindnesses of the LORD, and the praises of the LORD, according to all that the LORD hath bestowed on us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he hath bestowed on them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses.

Aku hendak mewartakan kasih TUHAN dan memuji Dia karena segala perbuatan-Nya. Dengan limpah Ia memberkati umat-Nya, karena Ia berbelaskasihan dan kasih-Nya tidak berkesudahan.

8 For he said, Surely they are my people, children that will not lie: so he was their Saviour.

TUHAN berkata, "Sungguh, mereka adalah umat-Ku, anak-anak yang tidak mengecewakan." Maka Ia menjadi Penyelamat mereka,

9 In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bore them, and carried them all the days of old.

Ia sendiri ditimpa kesusahan mereka. TUHAN tidak mengirim utusan atau duta; Ia sendirilah yang membebaskan mereka karena kasih dan belaskasihan-Nya. Ia selalu memelihara mereka sejak dahulu kala.

10 But they rebelled, and vexed his Holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them.

Tetapi mereka memberontak dan menyedihkan hati TUHAN. Maka Ia berbalik menjadi musuh mereka Ia sendiri berperang melawan mereka.

11 Then he remembered the days of old, Moses, and his people, saying, Where is he that brought them out of the sea with the shepherd of his flock? where is he that put his Holy Spirit within him?

Lalu mereka teringat zaman dahulu, zaman Musa, hamba TUHAN. Mereka bertanya, "Di manakah TUHAN yang menuntun para pemimpin umat-Nya melalui laut? Di manakah TUHAN yang memberi kuasa-Nya kepada mereka?

12 That led them by the right hand of Moses with his glorious arm, dividing the water before them, to make himself an everlasting name?

Di manakah TUHAN yang mendampingi Musa dengan tangan-Nya yang kuat perkasa, dan membelah air di depan mereka supaya nama-Nya termasyhur selama-lamanya?

13 That led them through the deep, as an horse in the wilderness, that they should not stumble?

Di manakah TUHAN yang menuntun mereka berjalan melalui air yang dalam? Seperti kuda melalui padang gurun, mereka tidak pernah tersandung."

14 As a beast goeth down in the valley, the Spirit of the LORD caused him to rest: so didst thou lead thy people, to make thyself a glorious name.

TUHAN membawa mereka ke tempat perhentian, seperti ternak digiring untuk merumput di padang. Begitulah Ia membimbing umat-Nya, supaya nama-Nya diagungkan.

15 Look down from heaven, and behold from the habitation of thy holiness and of thy glory: where is thy zeal and thy strength, the sounding of thy heart and of thy mercies toward me? are they restrained?

Ya TUHAN, pandanglah dari surga, dari kediaman-Mu yang suci dan mulia. Di manakah kasih dan keperkasaan-Mu? Di manakah kerahiman dan belas kasih-Mu? Janganlah menahan itu dari kami.

16 Doubtless thou art our father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: thou, O LORD, art our father, our redeemer; thy name is from everlasting.

Bukankah Engkau Bapa kami? Abraham dan Yakub tidak mengenal kami. Tetapi Engkau ya TUHAN, adalah Bapa kami, Penyelamat kami sejak dahulu kala.

17 O LORD, why hast thou made us to err from thy ways, and hardened our heart from thy fear? Return for thy servants’ sake, the tribes of thy inheritance.

Ya TUHAN, mengapa Kaubiarkan kami tersesat? Mengapa Engkau menegarkan hati kami sehingga kami tidak takut kepada-Mu? Kembalilah demi hamba-hamba-Mu, demi umat-Mu, milik pusaka-Mu.

18 The people of thy holiness have possessed it but a little while: our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary.

Mengapa Kaubiarkan musuh menginjak-injak Rumah-Mu, dan orang-orang mencemarkan bukit-Mu yang suci?

19 We are thine: thou never didst bear rule over them; they were not called by thy name.

Engkau memperlakukan kami seolah-olah Engkau tak pernah berkuasa atas kami; seolah-olah kami tak pernah menjadi umat-Mu.
