Yesaya 3
1 Sesungguhnya, TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa akan mengambil dari Yerusalem dan Yehuda segala persediaan makanan dan minuman. Juga semua orang yang mereka andalkan:
For, behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, does take away from Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the staff, the whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water.
2 para pahlawan dan prajurit, hakim, nabi, tukang ramal dan penasihat,
The mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient,
3 perwira, orang terkemuka dan negarawan, tukang sihir dan tukang tenung.
The captain of fifty, and the honourable man, and the counsellor, and the cunning artificer, and the eloquent orator.
4 TUHAN akan mengangkat anak-anak muda menjadi pemimpin rakyat, dan mereka akan memerintah dengan sewenang-wenang.
And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them.
5 Orang-orang akan saling menindas. Orang muda meremehkan orang tua, dan orang kecil meremehkan orang besar.
And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbour: the child shall behave himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honourable.
6 Pada waktu itu orang akan menunjuk seorang sanak saudaranya dan berkata kepadanya, "Cuma engkau yang punya pakaian yang pantas; sebab itu jadilah pemimpin kami di zaman yang penuh kesusahan ini."
When a man shall take hold of his brother of the house of his father, saying, You have clothing, be you our ruler, and let this ruin be under your hand:
7 Tetapi ia akan menjawab, "Saya bukan dukun! Saya juga tidak punya makanan dan pakaian. Jangan suruh saya menjadi pemimpin bangsa!"
In that day shall he swear, saying, I will not be an healer; for in my house is neither bread nor clothing: make me not a ruler of the people.
8 Sungguh, Yerusalem sudah jatuh! Yehuda sudah runtuh! Sebab segala perkataan dan perbuatan mereka melawan TUHAN dan menantang kekuasaan-Nya.
For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen: because their tongue and their doings are against the LORD, to provoke the eyes of his glory.
9 Sikap mereka yang sombong menunjukkan kejahatan mereka. Dengan terang-terangan mereka berdosa seperti orang Sodom dahulu. Celakalah mereka! Mereka mendatangkan celaka atas diri mereka sendiri.
The show of their countenance does witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves.
10 TUHAN berkata, "Sampaikanlah kepada orang yang taat kepada-Ku bahwa mereka akan bahagia dan selamat. Mereka akan menikmati hasil jerih payahnya.
Say all of you to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.
11 Tetapi celakalah orang jahat! Mereka akan diperlakukan seperti mereka telah memperlakukan orang lain.
Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.
12 Umat-Ku akan ditindas oleh tukang riba dan diperas oleh lintah darat. Umat-Ku akan disesatkan oleh para pemimpinnya sehingga tak tahu lagi jalan yang harus mereka tempuh."
As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead you cause you to go astray, and destroy the way of your paths.
13 TUHAN sudah siap untuk menggugat dan mengadili umat-Nya.
The LORD stands up to plead, and stands to judge the people.
14 TUHAN bertindak sebagai hakim terhadap para pemimpin umat-Nya. Inilah tuduhan TUHAN terhadap mereka: "Kamulah yang merampok hasil kebun-kebun anggur; rumahmu penuh barang yang kamu rampas dari orang miskin.
The LORD will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and the princes thereof: for all of you have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses.
15 Mengapa kamu menindas umat-Ku dan memeras orang miskin? Aku, TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi dan Mahakuasa telah berbicara."
What mean all of you that all of you beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor? says the Lord GOD of hosts.
16 TUHAN berkata, "Sombong benar wanita-wanita Yerusalem! Mereka genit, suka main mata dan berjalan dengan angkuh. Langkahnya dibuat-buat, dan gemerincing bunyi gelang-gelang kakinya.
Moreover the LORD says, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and moving enticingly as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet:
17 Tetapi Aku akan menghukum mereka; kepala mereka akan penuh kudis dan digunduli."
Therefore the LORD will strike with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will discover their secret parts.
18 Akan tiba waktunya TUHAN mengambil dari wanita-wanita Yerusalem segala perhiasan yang mereka banggakan: ikat kepala, gelang kaki, kalung,
In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their tinkling ornaments about their feet, and their cauls, and their round tires like the moon,
19 gelang tangan, cadar,
The chains, and the bracelets, and the covering for the lower part of the face,
20 tudung kepala, jimat-jimat di lengan dan pinggang,
The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the tablets, and the earrings,
21 cincin dan anting-anting hidung,
The rings, and nose jewels,
22 pakaian pesta yang indah-indah, gaun mantel, dompet,
The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping pins,
23 baju tipis, pakaian linen, ikat leher dan kerudung panjang.
The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the vails.
24 Sekarang mereka memakai wangi-wangian, nanti mereka berbau busuk. Ikat pinggang mereka yang halus akan diganti dengan tambang yang kasar. Kepala mereka yang berambut indah akan digunduli. Pakaian mereka yang bagus-bagus akan diganti dengan rombengan. Sekarang mereka cantik; nanti rupa mereka buruk karena diberi cap.
And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell there shall be stink; and instead of a girdle a rent; and instead of well set hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth; and burning instead of beauty.
25 Orang laki-laki, juga yang kuat-kuat, akan tewas dalam perang.
Your men shall fall by the sword, and your mighty in the war.
26 Di gerbang-gerbang kota orang akan berkabung dan meratap, dan kota itu sendiri akan seperti wanita ditelanjangi yang duduk di tanah.
And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she being desolate shall sit upon the ground.
