Yesaya 24
1 Sesungguhnya, TUHAN akan menanduskan bumi dan akan menghancurkannya, akan membalikkan permukaannya, dan akan menyerakkan penduduknya.
Lo, Jehovah is emptying the land, And is making it waste, And hath overturned [it on] its face, And hath 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 hath been — as a people so a priest, As the servant so his master, As the maid-servant 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.
Utterly emptied is the land, and utterly spoiled, For Jehovah hath spoken this word:
4 Bumi berkabung dan layu, ya, dunia merana dan layu, langit dan bumi merana bersama.
Mourned, faded hath the land, Languished, faded hath the world, Languished have they — the high place of the people of the land.
5 Bumi cemar karena penduduknya, sebab mereka melanggar undang-undang, mengubah ketetapan dan mengingkari perjanjian abadi.
And the land hath been defiled under its inhabitants, Because they have transgressed laws, They have changed a statute, They have made void a covenant age-during.
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 hath consumed the land, And the inhabitants in it are become desolate, Therefore consumed have been inhabitants of the land, And few men have been left.
7 Air anggur tidak menggirangkan lagi, pohon anggur merana, dan semua orang yang bersukahati mengeluh.
Mourned hath the new wine, languished the vine, Sighed have all the joyful of heart.
8 Kegirangan suara rebana sudah berhenti, keramaian orang-orang yang beria-ria sudah diam, dan kegirangan suara kecapi sudah berhenti.
Ceased hath the joy of tabrets, Ceased hath the noise of exulting ones, Ceased hath the joy of a harp.
9 Tiada lagi orang minum anggur dengan bernyanyi, arak menjadi pahit bagi orang yang meminumnya.
With a song they drink not wine, Bitter is strong drink 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, Shut hath been every house from entrance.
11 Orang menjerit di jalan-jalan karena tiada anggur, segala sukacita sudah lenyap, kegirangan bumi sudah hilang.
A cry over the wine [is] in out-places, Darkened hath been all joy, Removed hath been the joy of the land.
12 Yang terdapat dalam kota hanya kerusakan, pintu gerbang telah didobrak dan runtuh.
Left in the city [is] desolation, And [with] wasting is the gate smitten.
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 compassing of the olive, As gleanings when harvest hath been finished,
14 Dengan suara nyaring mereka bersorak-sorai, demi kemegahan TUHAN, mereka memekik dari sebelah barat:
They — they lift up their voice, They sing of the excellency of Jehovah, 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 in prosperity honour ye Jehovah, In isles of the sea, the name of Jehovah, 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, Yea, treachery, treacherous dealers dealt treacherously.
17 Hai penduduk bumi, kamu akan dikejutkan, akan masuk pelubang dan jerat!
Fear, and a snare, and a gin, [Are] on thee, O inhabitant of the land.
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 hath come to pass, He who is fleeing from the noise of the fear Doth fall into the snare, And he who is coming up from the midst of the snare, Is captured by the gin, For windows on high have been opened, And shaken are foundations of the land.
19 Bumi remuk redam, bumi hancur luluh bumi goncang-gancing.
Utterly broken down hath been the land, Utterly broken hath been the land, Utterly moved hath been the land.
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.
Stagger greatly doth the land as a drunkard, And it hath been moved as a lodge, And heavy on it hath been its transgression, And it hath fallen, and addeth not to rise.
21 Maka pada hari itu TUHAN akan menghukum tentara langit di langit dan raja-raja bumi di atas bumi.
And it hath come to pass, in that day, Jehovah layeth a charge on the host of the high place in the high place, And on the kings of the land on the land.
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 shut up they have been 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 confounded hath been the moon, And ashamed hath been the sun, For reigned hath Jehovah of Hosts In mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, And over-against His elders — honour!
