Yesaya 26
1 Pada waktu itu orang akan menyanyikan nyanyian ini di tanah Yehuda: "Alangkah kuatnya kota kita; Allah sendiri membangun benteng-Nya, di sini kita selamat.
In that day this song shall be sung in the land of Judah: We have a strong city. He will appoint salvation for walls and bulwarks.
2 Bukalah pintu-pintu gerbang, supaya masuk bangsa yang setia, bangsa yang melakukan kehendak Allahnya.
Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keeps faith may enter in.
3 TUHAN, Engkau memberi damai dan sejahtera kepada orang yang teguh hatinya, sebab ia percaya kepada-Mu.
Thou will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee, because he trusts in thee.
4 Percayalah kepada TUHAN senantiasa, sebab TUHAN Allah selalu melindungi kita.
Trust ye in Jehovah forever, for in Jehovah, even Jehovah, is an everlasting rock.
5 TUHAN merendahkan orang yang congkak; Ia menghancurkan kota berkubu mereka, dan meratakannya dengan tanah.
For he has brought down those who dwell on high. The lofty city, he lays it low. He lays it low even to the ground. He brings it even to the dust.
6 Orang-orang miskin dan sengsara akan menginjak-injaknya."
The foot shall tread it down, even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy.
7 Orang jujur berjalan di jalan lurus, sebab Engkau, TUHAN, merintis jalan baginya.
The way of the just is uprightness. Thou who are upright directs the path of the just.
8 Kami mengikuti keputusan-Mu, ya TUHAN, dan menanti-nantikan Engkau; Engkaulah pujian dan kerinduan hati kami.
Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O Jehovah, we have waited for thee, to thy name. Even to thy memorial, is the desire of our soul.
9 Jiwaku merindukan Dikau di waktu malam, hatiku mendambakan Engkau di waktu pagi. Bila Engkau menghakimi bumi nanti, penduduk dunia akan mengetahui apa yang benar.
With my soul I have desired thee in the night. Yea, with my spirit within me I will seek thee earnestly. For when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
10 Biarpun orang jahat diperlakukan dengan baik, ia tidak juga belajar apa yang benar. Di negara hukum pun ia berlaku curang, dan tak mau mengakui kuasa TUHAN.
Let favor be shown to a wicked man, yet he will not learn righteousness. In the land of uprightness he will deal wrongfully, and will not behold the majesty of Jehovah.
11 TUHAN, Engkau siap menghukum musuh-Mu, tetapi mereka tidak mengetahuinya. Biarlah mereka malu tersipu-sipu melihat kasih-Mu bagi umat-Mu. Biarlah mereka habis musnah oleh hukuman yang Kausediakan bagi mereka.
Jehovah, thy hand is lifted up, yet they do not see. But they shall see thy zeal for the people, and be put to shame. Yea, fire shall devour thine adversaries.
12 TUHAN, Engkau akan membuat kami sejahtera; segala yang kami kerjakan, Engkaulah yang melakukannya bagi kami.
Jehovah, thou will ordain peace for us, for thou have also wrought all our works for us.
13 Kami pernah dikuasai oleh tuan-tuan lain, tetapi hanya Engkau yang kami akui, ya TUHAN Allah kami!
O Jehovah our God, other lords besides thee have had dominion over us, but by thee only we will make mention of thy name.
14 Mereka sudah mati dan tak akan hidup lagi, arwahnya tak akan bangkit kembali. Sebab mereka sudah habis Kaubinasakan dan Kauhapus dari ingatan.
Being dead, they shall not live. Being deceased, they shall not rise. Therefore thou have visited and destroyed them, and made all remembrance of them to perish.
15 Engkau telah melipatgandakan kami umat-Mu, ya TUHAN, dan meluaskan wilayah kami, karena itu Engkau diagungkan.
Thou have increased the nation, O Jehovah, thou have increased the nation. Thou are glorified. Thou have enlarged all the borders of the land.
16 Engkau telah menghukum kami; dalam kesesakan kami berpaling kepada-Mu, dan berdoa kepada-Mu, TUHAN.
Jehovah, in trouble they have visited thee, they poured out a prayer when thy chastening was upon them.
17 Seperti wanita yang hendak melahirkan menggeliat dan berteriak kesakitan, demikianlah kami di hadapan-Mu, TUHAN.
As a woman with child, who draws near the time of her delivery, is in pain and cries out in her pangs, so we have been before thee, O Jehovah.
18 Kami mengandung dan menggeliat kesakitan, tetapi tidak melahirkan apa-apa; kami tidak memberi keselamatan kepada dunia, tidak juga menambah penduduknya.
We have been with child. We have been in pain. We have as it were brought forth wind. We have not wrought any deliverance in the earth, nor have the inhabitants of the world fallen.
19 Umat-Mu yang sudah mati akan hidup kembali, mayat-mayat mereka akan bangkit lagi. Orang yang sudah dikubur di dalam tanah akan bangkit dan bersorak-sorai. Seperti embun yang menyegarkan bumi, Engkau menghidupkan umat-Mu yang sudah lama mati.
Thy dead shall live. My dead bodies shall arise. Awake and sing, ye who dwell in the dust, for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast forth the dead.
20 Masuklah ke dalam rumahmu, hai bangsaku, lalu tutuplah pintu. Bersembunyilah untuk sementara waktu sampai kemarahan TUHAN sudah reda.
Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors around thee. Hide thyself for a little moment until the indignation be passed over.
21 TUHAN akan turun dari tempat kediaman-Nya di surga untuk menghukum penduduk bumi karena dosa mereka. Pembunuhan yang mereka lakukan dengan sembunyi-sembunyi akan disingkapkan. Tanah tidak lagi menutupi orang-orang yang mati dibunuh.
For, behold, Jehovah comes forth out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity. The earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.
