Yesaya 52
1 Bangunlah, hai Yerusalem, bangunlah! Kuatkanlah hatimu! Kenakanlah pakaian kebesaranmu! Hai Yerusalem, kota yang suci, orang najis takkan lagi masuk lewat gerbangmu.
Arise, arise, put on thy strength, O Sion, put on the garments of thy glory, O Jerusalem, the city of the Holy One: for henceforth the uncircumcised, and unclean shall no more pass through thee.
2 Bangkitlah dari debu, hai Yerusalem, kebaskanlah abu yang melekat padamu. Lepaskanlah rantai yang mengikat lehermu, hai penduduk Sion yang tertawan!
Shake thyself from the dust, arise, sit up, O Jerusalem: loose the bonds from off thy neck, O captive daughter of Sion.
3 TUHAN berkata kepada umat-Nya, "Kamu dijual dengan cuma-cuma, jadi sekarang dibebaskan dengan cuma-cuma juga.
For thus saith the Lord: You were sold gratis, and you shall be redeemed without money.
4 Dahulu kamu pergi ke Mesir dan tinggal di situ sebagai orang asing. Kemudian Asyur memeras kamu tanpa alasan.
For thus saith the Lord God: My people went down into Egypt at the beginning to sojourn there: and the Assyrian hath oppressed them without any cause at all.
5 Sekarang apa urusan-Ku di sini? Orang Babel menawan kamu dengan begitu saja. Mereka yang menindas kamu menyombong dan terus-menerus menghina Aku.
And now what have I here, saith the Lord: for my people is taken away gratis. They that rule over them treat them unjustly, saith the Lord, and my name is continually blasphemed all the day long.
6 Sebab itu kamu akan mengakui bahwa Aku Allah, dan pada waktu itu kamu akan tahu bahwa Akulah yang berbicara kepadamu."
Therefore my people shall know my name in that day: for I myself that spoke, behold I am here.
7 Alangkah senangnya melihat kedatangan utusan; ia berjalan melintasi pegunungan dan membawa kabar baik, kabar sejahtera, berita keselamatan bagi Sion; katanya, "Allahmu Raja!"
How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, and that preacheth peace: of him that sheweth forth good, that preacheth salvation, that saith to Sion: Thy God shall reign!
8 Dengarlah pekik gembira pengawal kota, mereka bersorak-sorak bersama! Sebab dengan mata kepala sendiri mereka melihat TUHAN kembali ke Sion.
The voice of thy watchmen: they have lifted up their voice, they shall praise together: for they shall see eye to eye when the Lord shall convert Sion.
9 Bersoraksorailah, hai puing-puing Yerusalem, sebab TUHAN menghibur umat-Nya dan membebaskan Yerusalem.
Rejoice, and give praise together, O ye deserts of Jerusalem: for the Lord hath comforted his people: he hath redeemed Jerusalem.
10 TUHAN menunjukkan kekuasaan-Nya di depan mata segala bangsa. Maka seluruh bumi akan menyaksikan keselamatan dari Allah kita.
The Lord hath prepared his holy arm in the sight of all the Gentiles: and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.
11 Pergilah! Tinggalkanlah kota Babel, hai kamu yang membawa perkakas rumah Allah! Janganlah menyentuh barang yang najis: sucikanlah dirimu sebelum berangkat.
Depart, depart, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing: go out of the midst of her, be ye clean, you that carry the vessels of the Lord.
12 Kamu tidak akan terburu-buru pergi, dan tidak seperti orang yang melarikan diri. Sebab TUHAN akan membimbing kamu; Allah Israel melindungi kamu dari segala penjuru.
For you shall not go out in a tumult, neither shall you make haste by flight: For the Lord will go before you, and the God of Israel will gather you together.
13 TUHAN berkata, "Sesungguhnya, hamba-Ku akan berhasil; ia akan disanjung dan ditinggikan.
Behold my servant shall understand, he shall be exalted, and extolled, and shall be exceeding high.
14 Dahulu banyak orang terkejut melihat dia, rupanya dirusak sehingga tidak seperti manusia lagi.
As many have been astonished at thee, so shall his visage be inglorious among men, and his form among the sons of men.
15 Tapi sekarang banyak bangsa dibuatnya heran, raja-raja membisu karena tercengang. Mereka akan melihat dan mengerti, yang sebelumnya tidak mereka ketahui."
He shall sprinkle many nations, kings shall shut their mouth at him: for they to whom it was not told of him, have seen: and they that heard not, have beheld.
