Yesaya 63
1 "Siapakah dia yang datang dari Bozra di Edom? bajunya merah, pakaiannya semarak; ia berjalan dengan gagah perkasa."
Who is this coming from Edom, from the town of Bozrah with clothes stained crimson? Who is this wearing robes of splendor, leaning forward in his great strength as he marches? It is me, the one who always speaks goodness and truth, the one who has the power to save.
2 "Mengapa pakaianmu semerah itu, seperti baju pengirik buah anggur?"
Why are your clothes red, like you've been treading grapes in a winepress?
3 "Sendirian Aku masuk ke tempat pengirikan anggur di antara umat-Ku tak ada yang menolong Aku. Bangsa-bangsa Kuinjak-injak dalam kemarahan-Ku, seperti menginjak-injak buah anggur. Darah mereka menyembur membasahi baju-Ku, mencemarkan seluruh pakaian-Ku.
I've been treading the winepress by myself; from the nations around no one came to help me. So in my anger I trod them down as if they were grapes, in my fury I trampled them. It's their blood that has stained my clothes.
4 Aku sudah merencanakan hari pembalasan, dan masa pembebasan bagi umat-Ku.
For I decided this was the day of my vengeance; the year of my redemption has come.
5 Aku mencari, tetapi tak ada yang menolong, Aku heran bahwa tak ada yang membantu. Lalu kekuatan-Ku sendiri menolong Aku, kemarahan-Ku membantu Aku.
I looked around, but no one came to help; I was shocked that there was no one to assist me. So I saved them through my own strength alone, and my own anger kept me going.
6 Dalam kemarahan-Ku yang bernyala-nyala, Kuinjak-injak bangsa-bangsa; Kubinasakan mereka, dan darah mereka Kutumpahkan ke tanah."
I trampled down the nations in my anger; in my fury I made them drunk, and spilled their blood upon the ground.
7 Aku hendak mewartakan kasih TUHAN dan memuji Dia karena segala perbuatan-Nya. Dengan limpah Ia memberkati umat-Nya, karena Ia berbelaskasihan dan kasih-Nya tidak berkesudahan.
I want to tell everyone about the Lord's trustworthy love. I will praise the Lord for everything he's done for us—all the good things he has done for the descendants of Israel because of his kindness and his infinite trustworthy love.
8 TUHAN berkata, "Sungguh, mereka adalah umat-Ku, anak-anak yang tidak mengecewakan." Maka Ia menjadi Penyelamat mereka,
He said, “Aren't they my people, children who wouldn't lie to me?” So he became their Savior.
9 Ia sendiri ditimpa kesusahan mereka. TUHAN tidak mengirim utusan atau duta; Ia sendirilah yang membebaskan mereka karena kasih dan belaskasihan-Nya. Ia selalu memelihara mereka sejak dahulu kala.
He suffered with them in all their suffering, and the angel of his presence saved them. In his love and kindness he redeemed them. He picked them up and carried them all throughout those years long ago.
10 Tetapi mereka memberontak dan menyedihkan hati TUHAN. Maka Ia berbalik menjadi musuh mereka Ia sendiri berperang melawan mereka.
But they rebelled against him, and caused his Holy Spirit grief, so to them he became like an enemy and he fought against them.
11 Lalu mereka teringat zaman dahulu, zaman Musa, hamba TUHAN. Mereka bertanya, "Di manakah TUHAN yang menuntun para pemimpin umat-Nya melalui laut? Di manakah TUHAN yang memberi kuasa-Nya kepada mereka?
Then they thought back to the days of old when Moses led his people out of Egypt. They shouted out, “Where is the one who took Israel through the sea, along with the shepherds of his flock? Where is the one who placed his Holy Spirit among his people?
12 Di manakah TUHAN yang mendampingi Musa dengan tangan-Nya yang kuat perkasa, dan membelah air di depan mereka supaya nama-Nya termasyhur selama-lamanya?
Where is the one who lifted Moses' right hand, and who used his amazing power to divided the sea in front of them, giving him such a wonderful, enduring reputation?
13 Di manakah TUHAN yang menuntun mereka berjalan melalui air yang dalam? Seperti kuda melalui padang gurun, mereka tidak pernah tersandung."
Where is the one who led them through the depths of the sea?” They were like a horse running through the desert, they didn't stumble.
14 TUHAN membawa mereka ke tempat perhentian, seperti ternak digiring untuk merumput di padang. Begitulah Ia membimbing umat-Nya, supaya nama-Nya diagungkan.
Like cattle descending into a valley, the Lord's Spirit gave them rest. This is how you led your people, earning a glorious reputation for yourself.
15 Ya TUHAN, pandanglah dari surga, dari kediaman-Mu yang suci dan mulia. Di manakah kasih dan keperkasaan-Mu? Di manakah kerahiman dan belas kasih-Mu? Janganlah menahan itu dari kami.
Lord, look down on us from heaven! Watch from your high home, in your holiness and glory! Where is your enthusiasm and power? You're not showing me your feelings of sympathy and kindness!
16 Bukankah Engkau Bapa kami? Abraham dan Yakub tidak mengenal kami. Tetapi Engkau ya TUHAN, adalah Bapa kami, Penyelamat kami sejak dahulu kala.
But you are still our Father, even though Abraham wouldn't know us and Israel wouldn't acknowledge us. You, Lord, are our Father; you have always been called our Redeemer from long ago.
17 Ya TUHAN, mengapa Kaubiarkan kami tersesat? Mengapa Engkau menegarkan hati kami sehingga kami tidak takut kepada-Mu? Kembalilah demi hamba-hamba-Mu, demi umat-Mu, milik pusaka-Mu.
Lord, why do you make us wander from your ways, and make us stubborn so we don't respect you? Come back to us for the sake of your servants, the tribes that belong to you.
18 Mengapa Kaubiarkan musuh menginjak-injak Rumah-Mu, dan orang-orang mencemarkan bukit-Mu yang suci?
Your Temple belonged to us for a little while, but then our enemies invaded and destroyed it.
19 Engkau memperlakukan kami seolah-olah Engkau tak pernah berkuasa atas kami; seolah-olah kami tak pernah menjadi umat-Mu.
We were yours from ancient times, but we've ended up like people you've never ruled, never identified as yours.
