Yesaya 25
1 TUHAN, Engkaulah Allahku, kuagungkan Engkau dan kupuji nama-Mu. Sebab karya-karya-Mu sangat menakjubkan; Engkau merencanakannya sejak dahulu, dan melaksanakannya dengan setia.
Adonai, you are my God. I will exalt you! I will yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to your name, for you have done wonderful things, things planned long ago, in complete faithfulness and truth.
2 Kota itu sudah Kauhancurkan; kota berkubu itu menjadi reruntuhan. Istana yang dibangun orang asing telah musnah, dan tidak dibangun lagi untuk selama-lamanya.
For you have made a city into a heap, a fortified city into a ruin, a palace of strangers to be no city. It will never be built.
3 Engkau akan dipuji oleh bangsa-bangsa yang kuat, dan ditakuti di kota-kota bangsa-bangsa yang kejam.
Therefore a strong people will glorify you. A city of awesome nations will fear you.
4 Sebab Engkau menjadi pengungsian bagi orang lemah, tempat yang aman bagi orang miskin dalam kesesakan. Engkaulah perlindungan terhadap angin ribut, naungan terhadap panas terik. Sebab orang kejam menyerang seperti topan di musim hujan,
For you have been a stronghold to the poor, a stronghold to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat, when the blast of the dreaded ones is like a storm against the wall.
5 seperti angin panas di tanah yang gersang. Tetapi Engkau membuat musuh kami bungkam, Kauhentikan teriakan orang-orang kejam, seperti naungan awan menghilangkan panas terik.
As the heat in a dry place will you bring down the noise of strangers; as the heat by the shade of a cloud, the song of the dreaded ones will be brought low.
6 Di Bukit Sion, TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa akan menyiapkan perjamuan untuk semua bangsa di dunia. Ia menghidangkan makanan yang paling lezat dan anggur yang terpilih.
In this mountain, Adonai Tzva'ot [Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies] will make all peoples a feast of choice meat, a feast of choice wines, of choice meat full of marrow, of well refined choice wines.
7 Di atas bukit itu Ia akan menyingkapkan awan kesedihan yang menyelubungi bangsa-bangsa.
He will destroy in this mountain the surface of the covering that covers all peoples, and the veil that is spread over all nations.
8 TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa akan membinasakan maut untuk selama-lamanya! Ia akan menghapus air mata dari setiap wajah, dan menjauhkan kehinaan yang ditanggung umat-Nya di seluruh bumi. TUHAN sudah berbicara, dan hal itu pasti terjadi.
He has swallowed up death forever! 'Adonay Adonai [Lord Yahweh] will wipe away tears from off all faces. He will take the reproach of his people away from off all the earth, for Adonai has spoken it.
9 Pada waktu itu orang akan berkata, "Sesungguhnya, Dialah Allah kita; Dialah yang kita nantikan, supaya kita diselamatkan. Sungguh, inilah TUHAN; Dialah yang kita nantikan. Sekarang kita bersorak gembira, sebab Ia sudah menyelamatkan kita."
It shall be said in that day, “Behold, this is our God! We have waited for him, and he will save us! This is Adonai! We have waited for him. We will be glad and rejoice in his yishu'ah ·salvation·!”
10 TUHAN akan melindungi Bukit Sion, tetapi Moab akan diinjak-injak seperti jerami di tempat sampah.
For in this mountain Adonai’s hand will rest. Moab [From father] will be trodden down in his place, even like straw is trodden down in the water of the dunghill.
11 Penduduknya akan mengulurkan tangannya seperti orang yang mau berenang. Tetapi TUHAN akan merendahkan keangkuhan mereka sehingga mereka tidak berdaya.
He will spread out his hands in the middle of it, like one who swims spreads out hands to swim, but his pride will be humbled together with the craft of his hands.
12 Benteng-benteng Moab dengan tembok-temboknya yang tinggi akan dirobohkan-Nya dan dicampakkan-Nya ke tanah sampai hancur seperti debu.
He has brought the high fortress of your walls down, laid low, and brought to the ground, even to the dust.
