Yesaya 52
1 Bangunlah, hai Yerusalem, bangunlah! Kuatkanlah hatimu! Kenakanlah pakaian kebesaranmu! Hai Yerusalem, kota yang suci, orang najis takkan lagi masuk lewat gerbangmu.
AWAKE, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean.
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, and sit down, O Jerusalem: loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion.
3 TUHAN berkata kepada umat-Nya, "Kamu dijual dengan cuma-cuma, jadi sekarang dibebaskan dengan cuma-cuma juga.
For thus saith the Lord, Ye have sold yourselves for nought; and ye 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 aforetime into Egypt to sojourn there; and the Assyrian oppressed them without cause.
5 Sekarang apa urusan-Ku di sini? Orang Babel menawan kamu dengan begitu saja. Mereka yang menindas kamu menyombong dan terus-menerus menghina Aku.
Now therefore, what have I here, saith the Lord, that my people is taken away for nought? they that rule over them make them to howl, saith the Lord; and my name continually every day is blasphemed.
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: therefore they shall know in that day that I am he that doth speak: behold, it is I.
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, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!
8 Dengarlah pekik gembira pengawal kota, mereka bersorak-sorak bersama! Sebab dengan mata kepala sendiri mereka melihat TUHAN kembali ke Sion.
Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the Lord shall bring again Zion.
9 Bersoraksorailah, hai puing-puing Yerusalem, sebab TUHAN menghibur umat-Nya dan membebaskan Yerusalem.
Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places 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 made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; 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 ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear 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 ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight: for the Lord will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your rereward.
13 TUHAN berkata, "Sesungguhnya, hamba-Ku akan berhasil; ia akan disanjung dan ditinggikan.
Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high.
14 Dahulu banyak orang terkejut melihat dia, rupanya dirusak sehingga tidak seperti manusia lagi.
As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than 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."
So shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they consider.
