< 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.
For Zion’s sake I am not silent, And for Jerusalem’s sake I do not rest, Until her righteousness goes out as brightness, And her salvation burns as a torch.
2 Hai Yerusalem, bangsa-bangsa melihat kemenanganmu, raja-raja memandang kebesaranmu. Engkau akan disebut dengan nama baru, TUHAN sendiri yang memberi nama itu.
And nations have seen your righteousness, And all kings your glory, And He is giving a new name to you, That the mouth of YHWH defines.
3 Engkau menjadi seperti mahkota indah di tangan TUHAN, mahkota kerajaan di tangan Allahmu.
And you have been a crown of beauty in the hand of YHWH, And a turban of royalty 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.
It is not said of you anymore, “Forsaken!” And of your land it is not said anymore, “Desolate,” For to you is cried, “My delight [is] in her,” And to your land, “Married,” For YHWH has delighted in you, And your land is 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 a young man marries a virgin, Your builders marry you, With the joy of a bridegroom over a bride, Your God rejoices over 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.
“On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have appointed watchmen, All the day and all the night, Continually, they are not silent.” O you remembering YHWH, do not keep silence for yourselves,
7 Mereka tak boleh membiarkan Dia tinggal diam sebelum Ia membangun kembali Yerusalem, dan menjadikannya termasyhur di seluruh bumi.
And do not give silence to Him, Until He establishes, and until He makes Jerusalem a praise in the 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.
YHWH has sworn by His right hand, Even by the arm of His strength: “I do not give your grain anymore [as] food for your enemies, Nor do sons of a stranger drink your new wine, For which you have labored.
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."
For those gathering it eat it, and have praised YHWH, And those collecting it drink it in My holy courts.”
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.
Pass on, pass on through the gates, Prepare the way of the people, Raise up, raise up the highway, clear it from stones, Lift up an ensign over the peoples.
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.'"
Behold, YHWH has proclaimed to the end of the earth: “Say to the daughter of Zion, Behold, your salvation has come, Behold, His hire [is] with Him, And His wage before Him.”
12 Mereka akan dinamakan: 'Umat suci'; 'Umat yang diselamatkan TUHAN'. Yerusalem akan disebut 'Kota yang dirayu TUHAN', 'Kota yang tidak lagi ditinggalkan TUHAN'.
And they have cried to them, “The People of the Holy One! The Redeemed of YHWH!” Indeed, to you is called, “The sought out one, a city not forsaken!”
