Yesaya 62

1 Demi Yerusalem aku akan berbicara, demi Sion aku tak akan tinggal diam, sampai ia diselamatkan dan kemenangannya bersinar seperti obor di waktu malam.

I can't remain silent because of my love for Zion, I can't keep quiet because of my love for Jerusalem, until her integrity shines like a beam of light, until her salvation blazes like a burning torch.

2 Hai Yerusalem, bangsa-bangsa melihat kemenanganmu, raja-raja memandang kebesaranmu. Engkau akan disebut dengan nama baru, TUHAN sendiri yang memberi nama itu.

The nations will see the way you live right, and all the kings will see how you are blessed, and you will be called by a new name that the Lord gives you.

3 Engkau menjadi seperti mahkota indah di tangan TUHAN, mahkota kerajaan di tangan Allahmu.

You will be a crown of beauty in the Lord's hand; a royal head-dress in the hand of your God.

4 Namamu bukan lagi 'Yang Ditinggalkan', negerimu bukan lagi 'Yang Kesepian'. Engkau akan disebut, 'Yang Disayangi Allah', dan negerimu dinamakan, 'Yang Sudah Menikah,' sebab TUHAN berkenan kepadamu, Ia seperti suami bagi negerimu.

You won't be called Abandoned anymore; your land won't be called Desolate. Instead you will be called She Makes Me Happy, and your land will be called Married, because you make the Lord happy, and your land will be married.

5 Seperti seorang pemuda mempersunting anak dara, begitulah Penciptamu akan memperistri engkau. Seperti seorang mempelai gembira melihat istrinya, begitulah Allah akan menyenangi engkau.

For just like a young man marries a young woman, so your sons will marry you; and like a groom is happy with his bride, so your God will be happy with you.

6 Di tembok Yerusalem aku menempatkan pengawal; siang dan malam mereka tak boleh diam, tetapi harus terus mengingatkan Allah akan janji yang sudah dibuat-Nya.

I have placed watchmen on your walls, Jerusalem; they won't ever be silent, day or night. You who pray to the Lord, don't ever stop and take a rest.

7 Mereka tak boleh membiarkan Dia tinggal diam sebelum Ia membangun kembali Yerusalem, dan menjadikannya termasyhur di seluruh bumi.

Don't give the Lord a rest either, until he finishes his work, until he makes Jerusalem the most praiseworthy place on earth.

8 TUHAN telah berjanji dengan sumpah dan akan melaksanakannya dengan kuasa-Nya: "Aku tak akan lagi memberikan gandummu kepada musuh; orang asing tak akan lagi minum anggurmu yang kamu hasilkan dengan susah payah.

The Lord has made a solemn promise, swearing by his power and might: I won't ever again let your enemies have your grain to eat, or let foreigners drink the new wine you worked hard for.

9 Tapi kamu yang mengumpulkan panenan, akan makan hasilnya dan memuji TUHAN; dan kamu yang memetik buah anggur, akan minum airnya di pelataran Rumah-Ku."

Instead, those who harvest the grain will eat it and praise the Lord, and those who harvest the grapes for the wine will drink it in the courts of my Temple.

10 Penduduk Yerusalem, keluarlah lewat pintu gerbang, siapkan jalan bagi orang-orang yang pulang. Buatlah jalan raya, singkirkan batunya, tegakkan panji-panji untuk bangsa-bangsa.

Exit! Exit through the gates! Clear the way for the people! Build the highway! Get rid of any rocks on the road! Lift up a flag so the nations can see!

11 TUHAN memberi pesan ini kepada segala penjuru bumi, "Katakan kepada penduduk Sion, 'Lihat, TUHAN Penyelamat datang! Ia diiringi orang-orang yang telah dibebaskan-Nya.'"

See! The Lord has announced to everyone on earth, Tell the Daughter of Zion: Look! Your Savior is coming. He's bringing his reward with him, coming to give his gift!

12 Mereka akan dinamakan: 'Umat suci'; 'Umat yang diselamatkan TUHAN'. Yerusalem akan disebut 'Kota yang dirayu TUHAN', 'Kota yang tidak lagi ditinggalkan TUHAN'.

They will be called the Holy People, the Redeemed of the Lord; and you will be called the Sought-After Place, A City No Longer Abandoned.
