Yesaya 22
1 Inilah pesan tentang Lembah Penglihatan: Hai, penduduk Yerusalem, mengapa kamu semua naik ke atap rumah?
THE WORD OF THE VALLEY OF SION. What has happened to you, that now you are all gone up to the housetops which help you not?
2 Tidak patut seluruh kota berpesta-pesta dan bersorak gembira. Sebab pejuang-pejuangmu yang mati dalam perang ini bukan mati karena bertempur.
The city is filled with shouting [men]: your slain are not slain with swords, nor are your dead those who have died in battle.
3 Semua panglimamu melarikan diri dan ditawan sebelum mereka sempat menembakkan panah. Semua orang kuatmu tertawan juga walaupun sudah lari jauh.
All your princes have fled, and [your] captives are tightly bound, and the mighty [men] in you have fled far away.
4 Jangan perhatikan aku; biarkan aku meratapi orang-orang dari bangsaku yang telah tewas. Jangan coba menghibur aku.
Therefore I said, Let me alone, I will weep bitterly; labor not to comfort me for the breach of the daughter of my people.
5 Memang, TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi dan Mahakuasa telah menetapkan hari ini sebagai hari kekacauan, kegemparan dan huru-hara di Lembah Penglihatan. Tembok-tembok kota sudah dirobohkan. Teriakan minta tolong bergema di bukit-bukit.
For [it is] a day of trouble, and of destruction, and of treading down, and [there is] perplexity [sent] from the Lord of hosts: they wander in the valley of Sion; they wander from the least to the greatest on the mountains.
6 Orang Siria datang dengan kuda dan kereta perang, orang Elam bersenjatakan busur dan panah, orang Kir menyiapkan perisainya.
And the Elamites took [their] quivers, and [there were] men mounted on horses, and [there was] a gathering for battle.
7 Lembah-lembah subur Yehuda penuh dengan kereta perang. Pasukan berkuda siap di depan gerbang-gerbang Yerusalem.
And it shall be [that] your choice valleys shall be filled with chariots, and horsemen shall block up your gates.
8 Seluruh pertahanan Yehuda runtuh. Pada waktu itu, kamu memeriksa alat-alat perang di gudang senjata.
And they shall uncover the gates of Juda, and they shall look in that day on the choice houses of the city.
9 Kamu menemukan banyak sekali retak di tembok kota Yerusalem yang perlu diperbaiki. Kamu memeriksa semua rumah di Yerusalem, membongkar beberapa di antaranya dan memakai batunya untuk memperbaiki tembok kota. Untuk mengumpulkan air,
And they shall uncover the secret places of the houses of the citadel of David: and they saw that they were many, and that one [had] turned the water of the old pool into the city;
and that they [had] pulled down the houses of Jerusalem, to fortify the wall of the city.
11 kamu membuat kolam di dalam kota dan menampung air dari kolam lama. Tetapi kamu tidak memperhatikan Allah yang sudah lama merencanakan semua itu, dan yang menyebabkan itu terjadi.
And you procured to yourselves water between the two walls within the ancient pool: but you looked not to him that made it from the beginning, and regarded not him that created it.
12 Pada waktu itu TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi dan Mahakuasa menyuruh kamu menangis dan meratap, mencukur kepala dan mengenakan kain karung.
And the Lord, the Lord of hosts, called in that day for weeping, and lamentation, and baldness, and for girding with sackcloth:
13 Tapi sebaliknya, kamu bersenang-senang dan berpesta. Kamu menyembelih sapi dan domba, makan daging dan minum air anggur sambil berseru, "Marilah kita makan dan minum, sebab besok kita mati!"
but they engaged in joy and gladness, slaying calves, and killing sheep, so as to eat flesh, and drink wine; saying, Let us eat and drink; for to-morrow we die.
14 TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi dan Mahakuasa menyatakan diri kepadaku dan berkata, "Sungguh, kejahatan mereka itu tak akan Kuampuni sampai mereka mati. Aku, TUHAN, telah berbicara."
And these things are revealed in the ears of the Lord of hosts: for this sin shall not be forgiven you, until you die.
15 TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi dan Mahakuasa menyuruh aku menemui Sebna, kepala rumah tangga istana, untuk menyampaikan kepadanya pesan TUHAN ini,
Thus says the Lord of hosts, Go into the chamber, to Somnas the treasurer, and say to him, Why are you here?
16 "Sangkamu engkau ini siapa? Apa hakmu sehingga engkau memahat kuburan bagimu di bukit batu?
and what have you to do here, that you have here hewn yourself a sepulchre, and made yourself a sepulchre on high, and have graven for yourself a dwelling in the rock?
17 Awas, Aku akan membuang engkau jauh-jauh. Engkau akan Kucekam dan Kugulung-gulung lalu Kugulingkan seperti bola ke negeri yang besar. Di sana engkau akan mati di samping kereta-kereta kebanggaanmu. Engkau telah mencemarkan nama keluarga tuanmu.
Behold now, the Lord of hosts casts forth and will utterly destroy [such] a man, and will take away your robe and your glorious crown,
and will cast you into a great and unmeasured land, and there you shall die: and he will bring your fair chariot to shame, and the house of your prince to be trodden down.
19 Sebab itu engkau akan Kupecat dari jabatanmu dan Kuturunkan dari pangkatmu yang tinggi.
And you shall be removed from your stewardship, and from your place.
20 Pada waktu itu Aku akan memanggil hamba-Ku Elyakim anak Hilkia.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Chelcias:
21 Pakaian kebesaran dan ikat pinggangmu akan Kukenakan padanya. Segala kekuasaanmu akan Kuberikan kepadanya. Ia akan menjadi bapak bagi penduduk Yerusalem dan Yehuda.
and I will put on him your robe, and I will grant him your crown with power, and I will give your stewardship into his hands: and he shall be as a father to them that dwell in Jerusalem, and to them that dwell in Juda.
22 Ia akan berkuasa penuh di bawah raja keturunan Daud. Ia akan memegang kunci kerajaan. Kalau ia membuka, tak ada yang dapat menutup, dan kalau ia menutup, tak ada yang dapat membuka.
And I will give him the glory of David; and he shall rule, and there shall be none to speak against him: and I will give him the key of the house of David [upon] his shoulder; and he shall open, and there shall be none to shut; and he shall shut, and there shall be none to open.
23 Dia akan Kuberi kedudukan yang teguh seperti pasak terpasang kuat pada tembok. Seluruh keluarganya akan dihormati karena dia.
And I will make him a ruler in a sure place, and he shall be for a glorious throne of his father's house.
24 Tetapi kaum kerabat dan tanggungannya akan menjadi beban baginya. Mereka akan menggantungkan diri kepadanya, seperti periuk belanga bergantungan pada pasak.
And every one that is glorious in the house of his father shall trust in him, from the least to the greatest; and they shall depend upon him in that day.
25 Kalau itu terjadi, maka pasak yang dipasang dengan kuat itu akan terlepas dan jatuh. Dan itulah penghabisan kaum keluarga dan semua orang yang menggantungkan diri kepadanya. Aku, TUHAN, telah berbicara."
Thus says the Lord of hosts, The man that is fastened in the sure place shall be removed and be taken away, and shall fall; and the glory that is upon him shall be utterly destroyed: for the Lord has spoken it.
