Yesaya 2
1 Inilah pesan Allah tentang Yehuda dan Yerusalem yang diterima Yesaya anak Amos:
The word that Isaias the son of Amos saw, concerning Juda and Jerusalem.
2 Di hari-hari mendatang bukit tempat Rumah TUHAN menjulang tinggi dan berdiri tegak di atas gunung-gunung dan bukit-bukit. Segala bangsa berduyun-duyun ke sana,
And in the last days the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be prepared on the top of mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills, and all nations shall flow unto it.
3 mereka semua berkata, "Mari kita naik ke Bukit TUHAN, ke rumah Allah Israel. Ia akan mengajarkan kepada kita apa yang harus kita lakukan. Kita akan mengikuti jalan-Nya, sebab ajaran TUHAN datang dari Yerusalem, Ia berbicara dari Sion."
And many people shall go, and say: Come and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob, and he will teach us his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall come forth from Sion, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
4 Ia akan menghakimi antara bangsa-bangsa, dan memutuskan perkara antara suku-suku bangsa. Pedang akan ditempa menjadi bajak, dan tombak dijadikan pisau pemangkas. Bangsa-bangsa tidak lagi saling menyerang, tidak juga bersiap-siap hendak berperang.
And he shall judge the Gentiles, and rebuke many people: and they shall turn their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into sickles: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they be exercised any more to war.
5 Hai, keturunan Yakub, mari kita berjalan dalam terang TUHAN!
O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the Lord.
6 Ya Allah, Engkau telah meninggalkan umat-Mu, keturunan Yakub! Sebab di mana-mana di negeri ini orang memakai ilmu gaib yang berasal dari timur dan dari Filistin. Orang-orang meniru adat istiadat asing.
For thou hast cast off thy people, the house of Jacob: because they are filled as in times past, and have had soothsayers as the Philistines, and have adhered to strange children.
7 Negerinya penuh perak dan emas, dan harta bendanya tidak terhingga. Kudanya amat banyak, dan keretanya tidak terhitung jumlahnya.
Their land is filled with silver and gold: and there is no end of their treasures.
8 Di mana-mana ada berhala, dan mereka menyembah patung-patung buatan mereka sendiri.
And their land is filled with horses: and their chariots are innumerable. Their land also is full of idols: they have adored the work of their own hands, which their own fingers have made.
9 Setiap orang akan dihina dan direndahkan. Jangan mengampuni mereka ya TUHAN!
And man hath bowed himself down, and man hath been debased: therefore forgive them not.
10 Mereka akan masuk ke dalam gua-gua di bukit-bukit karang, atau menggali lubang di dalam tanah supaya luput dari kemarahan TUHAN dan dari kuasa-Nya yang mulia.
Enter thou into the rock, and hide thee in the pit from the face of the fear of the Lord, and from the glory of his majesty.
11 Orang sombong akan direndahkan dan orang angkuh ditundukkan. Hanya TUHAN sendiri yang diagungkan.
The lofty eyes of man are humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be made to stoop: and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.
12 Pada hari itu TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa akan merendahkan semua yang meninggikan diri dan menghukum semua yang sombong dan yang angkuh.
Because the day of the Lord of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and highminded, and upon every one that is arrogant, and he shall be humbled.
13 Pohon-pohon cemara yang tinggi di Libanon dan semua pohon besar di Basan akan dibinasakan.
And upon all the tall and lofty cedars of Libanus, and upon all the oaks of Basan.
14 Gunung-gunung dan bukit-bukit yang megah akan diratakan.
And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the elevated hills.
15 Menara-menara yang tinggi dan tembok-tembok benteng akan dirobohkan.
And upon every high tower, and every fenced wall.
16 Kapal-kapal yang paling besar dan paling indah akan ditenggelamkan.
And upon all the ships of Tharsis, and upon all that is fair to behold.
17 Orang sombong akan direndahkan, dan orang angkuh ditundukkan. Hanya TUHAN sendiri yang diagungkan.
And the loftiness of men shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be humbled, and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.
18 Berhala-berhala akan hilang sama sekali.
And idols shall be utterly destroyed.
19 Pada saat TUHAN bangkit dan menggoncangkan bumi, orang akan masuk ke dalam gua-gua di bukit-bukit karang atau menggali lubang di dalam tanah supaya luput dari kemarahan TUHAN dan dari kuasa-Nya yang mulia. Apabila hari itu tiba, berhala-berhala perak dan emas yang mereka buat dan sembah itu akan ditinggalkan begitu saja untuk tikus dan kelelawar.
And they shall go into the holes of rocks, and into the caves of the earth from the face of the fear of the Lord, and from the glory of his majesty, when he shall rise up to strike the earth.
In that day a man shall cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which he had made for himself to adore, moles and bats.
And he shall go into the clefts of rocks, and into the holes of stones from the face of the fear of the Lord, and from the glory of his majesty, when he shall rise up to strike the earth.
22 Jadi, janganlah berharap kepada manusia yang fana, sebab ia tidak berharga.
Cease ye therefore from the man, whose breath is in his nostrils, for he is reputed high.
