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 this, O house of Jacob, Who are called by the name of Israel, And from the waters of Judah came out, Who are swearing by the Name of YHWH, And make mention of the God of Israel, 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 have been called from the Holy City, And been supported on the God of Israel, YHWH 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 declared the former things from that time, And they have gone forth from My mouth, And I proclaim them, Suddenly I have done, and it comes.
4 Aku tahu bahwa engkau tegar hati, keras kepala dan berkepala batu.
From My knowing that you are obstinate, And your neck—a sinew of iron, And your forehead—bronze,
5 Maka sejak dahulu sudah Kuramalkan; sebelum terjadi, sudah Kuberitahukan, supaya engkau jangan berkata, bahwa itu perbuatan patung-patung berhalamu.
And from that time I declare [it] to you, Before it comes I have caused you to hear, Lest you say, My idol has done them, And my carved image, And my molten image 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 the whole of it, And you, do you not declare? I have caused you to hear new things from this time, And things reserved that you did not know.
7 Baru sekarang Aku menjadikannya, dan bukan dahulu; belum pernah engkau mendengar tentang hal itu, supaya engkau tak dapat berkata, bahwa engkau mengetahui segalanya.
Now they have been produced and not from that time, Indeed, before the day, and you have not heard them, Lest you say, Behold, I have known 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.
Indeed, you have not heard, Indeed, you have not known, Indeed, your ear has not opened from that time, For I have known you deal treacherously, And [are] a transgressor from the belly, One is crying to you.
9 Aku menahan kemarahan-Ku supaya nama-Ku dimasyhurkan. Aku menahannya bagimu, supaya engkau tidak dibinasakan.
I defer My anger for My Name’s sake, And [for] My praise I restrain for you, So as not to cut you off.
10 Aku menguji engkau dalam api penderitaan, seperti perak dimurnikan dalam dapur api.
Behold, I have refined you, and not with silver, I have chosen you in a 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 My sake, for My own sake, I do [it], For how is it defiled? And I do not give My glory to another.
12 TUHAN berkata, "Dengarlah Israel, umat yang Kupanggil, Aku tetap Allahmu. Akulah yang pertama, dan Aku pula yang terakhir.
Listen to me, O Jacob, and Israel, My called one, I [am] He, I [am] first, and I [am] last;
13 Tangan-Ku meletakkan dasar bumi dan membentangkan cakrawala. Apabila Kupanggil namanya, mereka segera datang.
Also, My hand has founded earth, And My right hand stretched out the heavens, I am calling to them, they stand 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.
Be gathered, all of you, and hear, Who among them declared these things? YHWH has loved him, He does His pleasure on Babylon, And His arm [is on] the Chaldeans.
15 Akulah yang mengatakannya dan yang memanggil dia, yang membimbing dia, sehingga ia berhasil.
I have spoken, indeed, I have called him, I have brought him in, And he has made his way prosperous.
16 Datanglah dekat pada-Ku dan dengarlah, sejak dahulu Aku bicara dengan terus terang; dan perkataan-Ku selalu Kujadikan kenyataan."
Come near to Me, hear this, I have not spoken in secret from the beginning, From the time of its being, I [am] there, And now Lord YHWH has sent Me, and His Spirit.”
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 said YHWH, your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel: “I [am] your God YHWH, teaching you to profit, Causing you to tread in the way you 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 attended to My commands, Then your peace is as a river, And your righteousness as billows of the sea,
19 Keturunanmu akan sebanyak butir-butir pasir; Aku menjamin mereka tak akan dibinasakan."
And your seed is as sand, And the offspring of your bowels as gravel, His name would not be cut off nor destroyed 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 out from Babylon, flee from the Chaldeans, Declare with a voice of singing, Cause this to be heard, Bring it forth to the end of the earth, Say, “YHWH 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 have not thirsted in wastelands, He has caused them to go on, He has caused waters from a rock to flow to them, Indeed, he cleaves a rock, and waters flow.
22 Tidak ada keselamatan bagi orang jahat," demikianlah kata TUHAN.
“There is no peace,” said YHWH, “for the wicked!”
