Yesaya 24
1 Sesungguhnya, TUHAN akan menanduskan bumi dan akan menghancurkannya, akan membalikkan permukaannya, dan akan menyerakkan penduduknya.
Behold, YHWH is emptying the earth, And is making it desolate, And has overturned [it on] its face, And has scattered its inhabitants.
2 Maka seperti nasib rakyat demikianlah nasib imam, seperti nasib hamba laki-laki demikianlah nasib tuannya, seperti nasib hamba perempuan demikianlah nasib nyonyanya, seperti nasib pembeli demikianlah nasib penjual, seperti nasib peminjam demikianlah nasib yang meminjamkan, seperti nasib orang yang berhutang demikianlah nasib orang yang berpiutang.
And it has been—as a people so a priest, As the servant so his master, As the maidservant so her mistress, As the buyer so the seller, As the lender so the borrower, As the usurer so he who is lifting [it] on himself.
3 Bumi akan ditanduskan setandus-tandusnya, dan akan dijarah sehabis-habisnya, sebab Tuhanlah yang mengucapkan firman ini.
The earth is utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled, For YHWH has spoken this word:
4 Bumi berkabung dan layu, ya, dunia merana dan layu, langit dan bumi merana bersama.
The earth has mourned, faded, The world has languished, faded, They have languished—the high place of the people of the earth.
5 Bumi cemar karena penduduknya, sebab mereka melanggar undang-undang, mengubah ketetapan dan mengingkari perjanjian abadi.
And the earth has been defiled under its inhabitants, Because they have transgressed laws, They have changed a statute, They have made void a perpetual covenant.
6 Sebab itu sumpah serapah akan memakan bumi, dan penduduknya akan mendapat hukuman; sebab itu penduduk bumi akan hangus lenyap, dan manusia akan tinggal sedikit.
Therefore a curse has consumed the earth, And the inhabitants in it become desolate, Therefore inhabitants of the earth have been consumed, And few men have been left.
7 Air anggur tidak menggirangkan lagi, pohon anggur merana, dan semua orang yang bersukahati mengeluh.
The new wine has mourned, the vine languished, All the joyful of heart have sighed.
8 Kegirangan suara rebana sudah berhenti, keramaian orang-orang yang beria-ria sudah diam, dan kegirangan suara kecapi sudah berhenti.
The joy of tambourines has ceased, The noise of exulting ones has ceased, The joy of a harp has ceased.
9 Tiada lagi orang minum anggur dengan bernyanyi, arak menjadi pahit bagi orang yang meminumnya.
They do not drink wine with a song, Strong drink is bitter to those drinking it.
10 Kota yang kacau riuh sudah hancur, setiap rumah sudah tertutup, tidak dapat dimasuki.
It was broken down—a city of emptiness, Every house has been shut from [its] entrance.
11 Orang menjerit di jalan-jalan karena tiada anggur, segala sukacita sudah lenyap, kegirangan bumi sudah hilang.
In out-places [is] a cry over the wine, All joy has been darkened, The joy of the land has been removed.
12 Yang terdapat dalam kota hanya kerusakan, pintu gerbang telah didobrak dan runtuh.
Desolation [is] left in the city, And the gate is struck [with] ruin.
13 Sebab beginilah akan terjadi di atas bumi, di tengah-tengah bangsa-bangsa, yaitu seperti pada waktu orang menjolok buah zaitun, seperti pada waktu pemetikan susulan, apabila panen buah anggur sudah berakhir.
When thus it is in the heart of the land, In the midst of the peoples, As the surrounding of the olive, As gleanings when harvest has been finished,
14 Dengan suara nyaring mereka bersorak-sorai, demi kemegahan TUHAN, mereka memekik dari sebelah barat:
They lift up their voice, They sing of the excellence of YHWH, They have cried aloud from the sea.
15 "Sebab itu permuliakanlah TUHAN di negeri-negeri timur, nama TUHAN, Allah Israel, di tanah-tanah pesisir laut!"
Therefore honor YHWH in prosperity, In islands of the sea, the Name of YHWH, God of Israel.
16 Dari ujung bumi kami dengar nyanyian pujian: "Hormat bagi Yang Mahaadil!" Tetapi aku berkata: "Kurus merana aku, kurus merana aku. Celakalah aku! Sebab para penggarong menggarong, ya, terus-menerus mereka melakukan penggarongannya!"
From the skirt of the earth we heard songs, The desire of the righteous. And I say, “Leanness [is] to me, Leanness [is] to me, woe [is] to me.” Treacherous dealers dealt treacherously, Indeed, treachery, treacherous dealers dealt treacherously.
17 Hai penduduk bumi, kamu akan dikejutkan, akan masuk pelubang dan jerat!
Fear, and a snare, and a trap, [Are] on you, O inhabitant of the earth.
18 Maka yang lari karena bunyi yang mengejutkan akan jatuh ke dalam pelubang, dan yang naik dari dalam pelubang akan tertangkap dalam jerat. Sebab tingkap-tingkap di langit akan terbuka dan akan bergoncang dasar-dasar bumi.
And it has come to pass, He who is fleeing from the noise of the fear falls into the snare, And he who is coming up from the midst of the snare, Is captured by the trap, For windows have been opened on high, And foundations of the earth are shaken.
19 Bumi remuk redam, bumi hancur luluh bumi goncang-gancing.
The earth has been utterly broken down, The earth has been utterly broken, The earth has been utterly moved.
20 Bumi terhuyung-huyung sama sekali seperti orang mabuk dan goyang seperti gubuk yang ditiup angin; dosa pemberontakannya menimpa dia dengan sangat, ia rebah dan tidak akan bangkit-bangkit lagi.
The earth staggers greatly as a drunkard, And it has been moved as a lodge, And its transgression has been heavy on it, And it has fallen, and does not add to rise.
21 Maka pada hari itu TUHAN akan menghukum tentara langit di langit dan raja-raja bumi di atas bumi.
And it has come to pass in that day, YHWH lays a charge on the host of the high place in the high place, And on the kings of the earth on the earth.
22 Mereka akan dikumpulkan bersama-sama, seperti tahanan dimasukkan dalam liang; mereka akan dimasukkan dalam penjara dan akan dihukum sesudah waktu yang lama.
And they have been gathered—A gathering of bound ones in a pit, And they have been shut up in a prison, And after a multitude of days are inspected.
23 Bulan purnama akan tersipu-sipu, dan matahari terik akan mendapat malu, sebab TUHAN semesta alam akan memerintah di gunung Sion dan di Yerusalem, dan Ia akan menunjukkan kemuliaan-Nya di depan tua-tua umat-Nya.
And the moon has been confounded, And the sun has been ashamed, For YHWH of Hosts has reigned In Mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, And before His elderly—glory!
