Yesaya 25
1 Ya TUHAN, Engkaulah Allahku; aku mau meninggikan Engkau, mau menyanyikan syukur bagi nama-Mu; sebab dengan kesetiaan yang teguh Engkau telah melaksanakan rancangan-Mu yang ajaib yang telah ada sejak dahulu.
Yahweh, you are my God; I will honor you and praise you [MTY]. You do wonderful things; you said long ago that you would do those things, and now you have done them like you said that you would.
2 Sebab Engkau telah membuat kota itu menjadi timbunan batu, dan kota yang berkubu itu menjadi reruntuhan; puri orang luar tidak lagi menjadi kota, dan tidak dibangunkan lagi untuk selama-lamanya.
[Sometimes] you have caused cities to become heaps of rubble, cities that had strong walls around them. You have caused palaces in foreign countries to disappear; they will never be rebuilt.
3 Oleh karena itu suatu bangsa yang kuat akan memuliakan Engkau; kota bangsa-bangsa yang gagah akan takut kepada-Mu.
Therefore, people in powerful nations will declare that you are very great, and people in nations [whose leaders are] ruthless/cruel will revere you.
4 Sebab Engkau menjadi tempat pengungsian bagi orang lemah, tempat pengungsian bagi orang miskin dalam kesesakannya, perlindungan terhadap angin ribut, naungan terhadap panas terik, sebab amarah orang-orang yang gagah sombong itu seperti angin ribut di musim dingin,
Yahweh, you are [like] [SIM] a strong tower where poor people can (find refuge/be safe), a place where needy people can go when they are distressed. [You are like] [MET] a place where people can find refuge in a storm and where they can be shaded from the hot sun. Ruthless/Cruel [people] oppress us; they are like [SIM] a storm beating against a wall,
5 seperti panas terik di tempat kering. Kegaduhan orang-orang luar Kaudiamkan; seperti panas terik ditiadakan oleh naungan awan, demikianlah nyanyian orang-orang yang gagah sombong ditiadakan.
and like [SIM] [the intense] heat in the desert. [But] you cause the roaring of people in foreign nations to cease. Like the air cools when a cloud comes overhead, you stop ruthless/cruel [people] from singing songs boasting about their being very great.
6 TUHAN semesta alam akan menyediakan di gunung Sion ini bagi segala bangsa-bangsa suatu perjamuan dengan masakan yang bergemuk, suatu perjamuan dengan anggur yang tua benar, masakan yang bergemuk dan bersumsum, anggur yang tua yang disaring endapannya.
Here in Jerusalem, the Commander of the armies of angels will prepare a wonderful feast for all the people [of the world]. It will be a banquet with plenty of good meat and fine well-aged [DOU] wine.
7 Dan di atas gunung ini TUHAN akan mengoyakkan kain perkabungan yang diselubungkan kepada segala suku bangsa dan tudung yang ditudungkan kepada segala bangsa-bangsa.
[People here are] sad; their being sad is [like] a dark cloud that hangs over them, like they experience when someone dies. But Yahweh will enable them to quit being sad.
8 Ia akan meniadakan maut untuk seterusnya; dan Tuhan ALLAH akan menghapuskan air mata dari pada segala muka; dan aib umat-Nya akan dijauhkan-Nya dari seluruh bumi, sebab TUHAN telah mengatakannya.
He will get rid of death forever! Yahweh our God will cause people to no longer mourn because someone has died. And he will stop other people insulting and making fun of his land and [us] his people. [That will surely happen because] Yahweh has said it!
9 Pada waktu itu orang akan berkata: "Sesungguhnya, inilah Allah kita, yang kita nanti-nantikan, supaya kita diselamatkan. Inilah TUHAN yang kita nanti-nantikan; marilah kita bersorak-sorak dan bersukacita oleh karena keselamatan yang diadakan-Nya!"
At that time, [people] will proclaim, “Yahweh is our God! We trusted in him, and he rescued us! Yahweh, in whom we trusted, has done it; we should rejoice because of his saving/rescuing [us]!”
10 Sebab tangan TUHAN akan melindungi gunung ini, tetapi Moab akan diinjak-injak di tempatnya sendiri, sebagai jerami diinjak-injak dalam lobang kotoran.
Yahweh [MTY] will protect and bless Jerusalem. [But] he will crush [the people in the land of] Moab; they will be like [SIM] straw that is trampled in the manure [and left to rot].
11 Apabila Moab mengembangkan tangannya di dalamnya seperti cara perenang mengembangkannya untuk berenang, maka TUHAN akan mematahkan kecongkakkan mereka dengan segala daya upaya mereka.
Yahweh will push down the people of Moab like [SIM] a swimmer pushes [the water] with his hands. He will cause them to cease being proud, and he will show that all the things that they have done are worthless.
12 Maka kubu-kubu tembokmu yang tinggi akan ditumbangkan-Nya dan dirubuhkan-Nya, dan dicampakkan-Nya ke tanah dan debu.
The high walls [around the cities] in Moab will be torn down; they will be demolished and fall into the dust/dirt.
