Yesaya 2
1 Inilah pesan Allah tentang Yehuda dan Yerusalem yang diterima Yesaya anak Amos:
The thing that Isaiah son of Amoz has seen concerning Judah 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 it has come to pass, In the latter end of the days, The mountain of YHWH’s house is established, Above the top of the mountains, And it has been lifted up above the heights, And all the nations have flowed to 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 peoples have gone and said, “Come, and we go up to the mountain of YHWH, To the house of the God of Jacob, And He teaches us of His ways, And we walk in His paths, For a law goes forth from Zion, And a word of YHWH 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 has judged between the nations, And has given a decision to many peoples, And they have beat their swords to plowshares, And their spears to pruning-hooks, Nation does not lift up sword to nation, Nor do they learn anymore—war.
5 Hai, keturunan Yakub, mari kita berjalan dalam terang TUHAN!
O house of Jacob, come, And we walk in the light of YHWH.”
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 You have left Your people, the house of Jacob. For they have been filled from the east, And [are] sorcerers like the Philistines, And strike hands with the children of strangers.
7 Negerinya penuh perak dan emas, dan harta bendanya tidak terhingga. Kudanya amat banyak, dan keretanya tidak terhitung jumlahnya.
And its land is full of silver and gold, And there is no end to its treasures, And its land is full of horses, And there is no end to its chariots,
8 Di mana-mana ada berhala, dan mereka menyembah patung-patung buatan mereka sendiri.
And its land is full of idols, It bows itself to the work of its hands, To that which its fingers have made,
9 Setiap orang akan dihina dan direndahkan. Jangan mengampuni mereka ya TUHAN!
And the low bows down, and the high is humbled, And You do not accept them.
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 into a rock, and be hidden in dust, Because of the fear of YHWH, And because of the honor of His excellence.
11 Orang sombong akan direndahkan dan orang angkuh ditundukkan. Hanya TUHAN sendiri yang diagungkan.
The haughty eyes of man have been humbled, And the loftiness of men has been bowed down, And YHWH alone has been set on high in that day.
12 Pada hari itu TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa akan merendahkan semua yang meninggikan diri dan menghukum semua yang sombong dan yang angkuh.
For a day [is] to YHWH of Hosts, For every proud and high one, And for every lifted up and low one,
13 Pohon-pohon cemara yang tinggi di Libanon dan semua pohon besar di Basan akan dibinasakan.
And for all cedars of Lebanon, The high and the exalted ones, And for all oaks of Bashan,
14 Gunung-gunung dan bukit-bukit yang megah akan diratakan.
And for all the high mountains, And for all the exalted heights,
15 Menara-menara yang tinggi dan tembok-tembok benteng akan dirobohkan.
And for every high tower, And for every fortified wall,
16 Kapal-kapal yang paling besar dan paling indah akan ditenggelamkan.
And for all ships of Tarshish, And for all desirable pictures.
17 Orang sombong akan direndahkan, dan orang angkuh ditundukkan. Hanya TUHAN sendiri yang diagungkan.
And the haughtiness of man has been bowed down, And the loftiness of men humbled, And YHWH alone has been set on high in that day.
18 Berhala-berhala akan hilang sama sekali.
And the idols—they completely pass away.
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 [men] have entered into caverns of rocks, And into caves of dust, Because of the fear of YHWH, And because of the honor of His excellence, In His rising to terrify the earth.
In that day man casts his idols of silver, And his idols of gold, That they have made for him to worship, To moles, and to bats,
To enter into cavities of the rocks, And into clefts of the high places, Because of the fear of YHWH, And because of the honor of His excellence, In His rising to terrify the earth.
22 Jadi, janganlah berharap kepada manusia yang fana, sebab ia tidak berharga.
Cease yourselves from man, Whose breath [is] in his nostrils, For—in what is he esteemed?
