Yesaya 5
1 Dengarlah nyanyianku tentang kebun anggur sahabatku. Sahabatku mempunyai kebun anggur di lereng bukit yang subur.
Let me sing for my well beloved a song of my beloved about his vineyard. My beloved had a vineyard on a very fruitful hill.
2 Ia mencangkul tanahnya dan membuang batu-batunya. Ditanamnya anggur pilihan dibangunnya menara penjagaan. Digalinya sebuah lubang tempat memeras anggurnya, lalu ia menunggu buahnya matang, tapi hasilnya buah anggur yang asam.
He dug it up, gathered out its stones, planted it with the choicest vine, built a tower in the middle of it, and also cut out a wine press in it. He looked for it to yield grapes, but it yielded wild grapes.
3 Jadi sekarang sahabat-Ku berkata, "Kamu semua, penduduk Yerusalem dan Yehuda, adililah antara kebun anggur-Ku dan Aku.
“Now, inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, please judge between me and my vineyard.
4 Apa lagi yang harus Kubuat, tapi belum Kulakukan untuk kebun anggur-Ku itu? Mengapa buah asam yang dihasilkannya, dan bukan buah baik seperti yang Kuharapkan?
What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? Why, when I looked for it to yield grapes, did it yield wild grapes?
5 Begini akan Kuperlakukan kebun anggur-Ku itu: Pagar yang mengelilinginya akan Kucabut, tembok yang melindunginya akan Kurobohkan, lalu Kubiarkan binatang buas merusak dan menginjak-injaknya.
Now I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard. I will take away its hedge, and it will be eaten up. I will break down its wall, and it will be trampled down.
6 Aku akan membiarkannya ditumbuhi tanaman liar. Pohon anggurnya tak akan Kupangkas, dan tak akan Kusiangi. Malah Kubiarkan ditutupi semak berduri dan rumput, bahkan awan-awan Kularang menjatuhkan hujan ke atasnya."
I will lay it a wasteland. It won’t be pruned or hoed, but it will grow briers and thorns. I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain on it.”
7 Sebab kebun anggur TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa adalah umat Israel, dan orang-orang Yehuda adalah pohon anggur yang ditanam-Nya. Dari mereka Ia mengharapkan keadilan, tetapi hanya ada kelaliman. Ia harapkan mereka menegakkan kebenaran, tetapi hanya ada jeritan minta keadilan.
For the vineyard of Yahweh of Armies is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant. He looked for justice, but behold, oppression, for righteousness, but behold, a cry of distress.
8 Celakalah kamu yang membeli rumah-rumah dan menyerobot ladang-ladang untuk menambah milikmu! Tak lama lagi habislah tempat untuk orang lain dan hanya kamulah yang tinggal di negeri itu.
Woe to those who join house to house, who lay field to field, until there is no room, and you are made to dwell alone in the middle of the land!
9 Kudengar TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa bersumpah, "Rumah-rumah yang besar dan bagus ini semuanya akan kosong tanpa penghuni.
In my ears, Yahweh of Armies says: “Surely many houses will be desolate, even great and beautiful, unoccupied.
10 Hasil bumi akan gagal, kebun anggur yang luasnya sepuluh hektar cuma menghasilkan sepuluh liter air anggur. Seratus liter bibit cuma menghasilkan sepuluh liter gandum."
For ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and a homer of seed shall yield an ephah.”
11 Celakalah kamu! Dari pagi sampai malam kerjamu hanya minum minuman keras dan bermabuk-mabuk.
Woe to those who rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink, who stay late into the night, until wine inflames them!
12 Pada pesta-pestamu ada bunyi kecapi, gambus, rebana dan suling dan minuman anggur. Tetapi kamu tidak peduli akan karya TUHAN dan apa yang dilakukan-Nya.
The harp, lyre, tambourine, and flute, with wine, are at their feasts; but they don’t respect the work of Yahweh, neither have they considered the operation of his hands.
13 Sebab itu umat-Ku yang tak tahu apa-apa akan digiring pergi sebagai tawanan. Para pemimpin dan rakyat akan mati kelaparan dan kehausan.
Therefore my people go into captivity for lack of knowledge. Their honorable men are famished, and their multitudes are parched with thirst.
14 Moncong maut terbuka lebar-lebar untuk menelan orang-orang terkemuka di Yerusalem bersama rakyat yang ramai-ramai berpesta. (Sheol h7585)
Therefore Sheol has enlarged its desire, and opened its mouth without measure; and their glory, their multitude, their pomp, and he who rejoices among them, descend into it. (Sheol h7585)
15 Setiap orang akan dipermalukan, dan yang sombong direndahkan.
So man is brought low, mankind is humbled, and the eyes of the arrogant ones are humbled;
16 Tetapi TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa menunjukkan kebesaran-Nya dengan melakukan apa yang benar. Ia akan memperlihatkan kesucian-Nya dengan mengadili bangsa-Nya.
but Yahweh of Armies is exalted in justice, and God the Holy One is sanctified in righteousness.
17 Di reruntuhan kota anak kambing dan domba akan merumput dan tidak kekurangan makanan.
Then the lambs will graze as in their pasture, and strangers will eat the ruins of the rich.
18 Celakalah kamu yang berdosa terus-menerus!
Woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of falsehood, and wickedness as with cart rope,
19 Katamu, "Biarlah TUHAN Allah kudus Israel cepat bertindak! Biarlah Ia melaksanakan rencana-Nya, supaya kita melihat dan tahu."
who say, “Let him make haste, let him hasten his work, that we may see it; let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw near and come, that we may know it!”
20 Celakalah kamu yang memutarbalikkan yang baik dan yang jahat, yang gelap dan yang terang, yang pahit dan yang manis!
Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
21 Celakalah kamu yang menganggap diri bijaksana dan sangat pintar!
Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
22 Celakalah kamu yang jago minum anggur! Kamu pemberani dan hebat kalau harus mencampur minuman keras!
Woe to those who are mighty to drink wine, and champions at mixing strong drink;
23 Tetapi hanya untuk mendapat uang suap, kamu membebaskan orang bersalah, dan mencegah orang tak bersalah mendapat keadilan.
who acquit the guilty for a bribe, but deny justice for the innocent!
24 Kamu telah menolak ajaran TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa, dan menghina perintah Allah kudus Israel. Sebab itu, seperti jerami dan rumput kering habis terbakar dalam api, begitu juga akar-akarmu akan menjadi busuk, bunga-bungamu menjadi kering dan habis ditiup angin.
Therefore as the tongue of fire devours the stubble, and as the dry grass sinks down in the flame, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust, because they have rejected the law of Yahweh of Armies, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
25 TUHAN marah kepada bangsa-Nya. Ia sudah siap untuk menghukum mereka. Gunung-gunung akan goncang; mayat-mayat berserakan seperti sampah di jalan-jalan. Tetapi TUHAN masih marah dan tetap akan menghukum.
Therefore Yahweh’s anger burns against his people, and he has stretched out his hand against them and has struck them. The mountains tremble, and their dead bodies are as refuse in the middle of the streets. For all this, his anger is not turned away, but his hand is still stretched out.
26 TUHAN akan memanggil bangsa yang jauh dan mereka akan datang dengan cepat!
He will lift up a banner to the nations from far away, and he will whistle for them from the end of the earth. Behold, they will come speedily and swiftly.
27 Mereka selalu siap berperang dan tak kenal lelah. Mereka tak pernah tidur atau mengantuk.
No one shall be weary nor stumble among them; no one shall slumber nor sleep, neither shall the belt of their waist be untied, nor the strap of their sandals be broken,
28 Anak panahnya tajam dan busurnya siap menembak. Kuku kudanya sekeras batu api, dan roda keretanya berputar seperti angin puting beliung.
whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent. Their horses’ hoofs will be like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind.
29 Para prajuritnya mengaum seperti singa yang baru saja menerkam mangsanya, lalu membawanya lari, dan tak ada yang dapat melepaskannya.
Their roaring will be like a lioness. They will roar like young lions. Yes, they shall roar, and seize their prey and carry it off, and there will be no one to deliver.
30 Pada hari itu di seluruh Israel terdengar pekik pertempuran sekeras deru laut. Lihatlah, seluruh negeri itu gelap dan penuh kesesakan. Terang menjadi gelap gulita.
They will roar against them in that day like the roaring of the sea. If one looks to the land, behold, darkness and distress. The light is darkened in its clouds.
