Yesaya 48
1 Dengarlah, hai keturunan Yakub, keturunan Yehuda yang memakai nama Israel, katamu engkau mengakui Allah Israel, dan bersumpah atas nama TUHAN. Tetapi kata-katamu itu tidak tulus.
Hear all of you this, O house of Jacob, which are called by the name of Israel, and are come forth out of the waters of Judah, which swear by the name of the LORD, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness.
2 Sekalipun begitu, engkau mengakui dengan bangga bahwa engkau penduduk kota suci; dan bahwa engkau bersandar pada Allah Israel yang disebut TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa.
For they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves upon the God of Israel; The LORD of hosts is his name.
3 TUHAN berkata, "Dengarlah, hai Israel! Apa yang terjadi dahulu, sudah lama Kuberitahukan; apa yang Kukatakan, tiba-tiba Kulaksanakan dan Kujadikan kenyataan.
I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they went forth out of my mouth, and I showed them; I did them suddenly, and they came to pass.
4 Aku tahu bahwa engkau tegar hati, keras kepala dan berkepala batu.
Because I knew that you are obstinate, and your neck is an iron sinew, and your brow brass;
5 Maka sejak dahulu sudah Kuramalkan; sebelum terjadi, sudah Kuberitahukan, supaya engkau jangan berkata, bahwa itu perbuatan patung-patung berhalamu.
I have even from the beginning declared it to you; before it came to pass I showed it you: lest you should say, Mine idol has done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, has commanded them.
6 Semua nubuat-Ku yang kaudengar sudah terjadi; engkau harus mengakui bahwa perkataan-Ku itu benar. Sekarang Aku memberitahukan hal-hal yang baru, rahasia-rahasia yang belum kauketahui.
You have heard, see all this; and will not all of you declare it? I have showed you new things from this time, even hidden things, and you did not know them.
7 Baru sekarang Aku menjadikannya, dan bukan dahulu; belum pernah engkau mendengar tentang hal itu, supaya engkau tak dapat berkata, bahwa engkau mengetahui segalanya.
They are created now, and not from the beginning; even before the day when you heard them not; lest you should say, Behold, I knew them.
8 Aku tahu engkau tak dapat dipercaya, sejak dahulu engkau terkenal sebagai pendurhaka. Sebab itulah engkau tak mengetahuinya, tidak satu kata pun sampai ke telingamu.
Yea, you heard not; yea, you knew not; yea, from that time that your ear was not opened: for I knew that you would deal very treacherously, and were called a transgressor from the womb.
9 Aku menahan kemarahan-Ku supaya nama-Ku dimasyhurkan. Aku menahannya bagimu, supaya engkau tidak dibinasakan.
For my name's sake will I defer mine anger, and for my praise will I refrain for you, that I cut you not off.
10 Aku menguji engkau dalam api penderitaan, seperti perak dimurnikan dalam dapur api.
Behold, I have refined you, but not with silver; I have chosen you in the furnace of affliction.
11 Itu Kulakukan demi diri-Ku sendiri, sebab Aku tidak membiarkan nama-Ku dicemarkan; kemuliaan-Ku tidak Kubagi dengan siapa pun."
For mine own sake, even for mine own sake, will I do it: for how should my name be polluted? and I will not give my glory unto another.
12 TUHAN berkata, "Dengarlah Israel, umat yang Kupanggil, Aku tetap Allahmu. Akulah yang pertama, dan Aku pula yang terakhir.
Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he; I am the first, I also am the last.
13 Tangan-Ku meletakkan dasar bumi dan membentangkan cakrawala. Apabila Kupanggil namanya, mereka segera datang.
Mine hand also has laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand has spanned the heavens: when I call unto them, they stand up together.
14 Berkumpullah kamu semua dan dengarlah! Di antara dewa-dewa tak ada yang meramalkan bahwa orang pilihan-Ku akan menyerang Babel; ia akan melakukan apa yang Kukehendaki.
All you, assemble yourselves, and hear; which among them has declared these things? The LORD has loved him: he will do his pleasure on Babylon, and his arm shall be on the Chaldeans.
15 Akulah yang mengatakannya dan yang memanggil dia, yang membimbing dia, sehingga ia berhasil.
I, even I, have spoken; yea, I have called him: I have brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous.
16 Datanglah dekat pada-Ku dan dengarlah, sejak dahulu Aku bicara dengan terus terang; dan perkataan-Ku selalu Kujadikan kenyataan."
Come all of you near unto me, hear all of you this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord GOD, and his Spirit, has sent me.
17 Kata Allah kudus Israel, Penyelamatmu, "Akulah TUHAN Allahmu, yang mengajar engkau apa yang berguna bagimu, dan membimbing engkau di jalan yang harus kautempuh.
Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD your God which teaches you to profit, which leads you by the way that you should go.
18 Sekiranya engkau memperhatikan perintah-perintah-Ku, maka kesejahteraanmu seperti sungai yang tak pernah kering, dan kemujuranmu seperti ombak di laut yang tak pernah berhenti.
O that you had hearkened to my commandments! then had your peace been as a river, and your righteousness as the waves of the sea:
19 Keturunanmu akan sebanyak butir-butir pasir; Aku menjamin mereka tak akan dibinasakan."
Your seed also had been as the sand, and the offspring of your bowels like the gravel thereof; his name should not have been cut off nor destroyed from before me.
20 Pergilah dan larilah dari Babel, siarkanlah berita ini ke mana-mana. Beritakanlah dengan sorak gembira: "TUHAN sudah menyelamatkan Israel, hamba-Nya!
Go all of you out of Babylon, flee all of you from the Chaldeans, with a voice of singing declare all of you, tell this, utter it even to the end of the earth; say all of you, The LORD has redeemed his servant Jacob.
21 Waktu Ia membimbing mereka melalui padang yang tandus, mereka tak menderita haus. TUHAN membelah gunung batu dan mengalirkan air, dari batu Ia memancurkan air bagi mereka.
And they thirsted not when he led them through the deserts: he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them: he clave the rock also, and the waters gushed out.
22 Tidak ada keselamatan bagi orang jahat," demikianlah kata TUHAN.
There is no peace, says the LORD, unto the wicked.
