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 your strength, O Zion; put on your beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into you 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 yourself from the dust; arise, and sit down, O Jerusalem: loose yourself from the bands of your 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 says the LORD, All of you have sold yourselves for nothing; and all of 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 says the Lord GOD, My people went down in old times 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, says the LORD, that my people is taken away for nothing? they that rule over them make them to wail, says 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 does 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 brings good tidings, that publishes peace; that brings good tidings of good, that publishes salvation; that says unto Zion, Your God reigns!
8 Dengarlah pekik gembira pengawal kota, mereka bersorak-sorak bersama! Sebab dengan mata kepala sendiri mereka melihat TUHAN kembali ke Sion.
Your 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, all of you waste places of Jerusalem: for the LORD has comforted his people, he has redeemed Jerusalem.
10 TUHAN menunjukkan kekuasaan-Nya di depan mata segala bangsa. Maka seluruh bumi akan menyaksikan keselamatan dari Allah kita.
The LORD has 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 all of you, depart all of you, go all of you out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go all of you out of the midst of her; be all of you 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 all of you 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 rear guard.
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 astonished at you; his visage was so ruined 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.
