Yesaya 33
1 Celakalah engkau, hai perusak yang tidak dirusak sendiri, dan engkau, hai penggarong yang tidak digarong sendiri! Apabila engkau selesai merusak, engkau sendiri akan dirusak; apabila engkau habis menggarong, engkau sendiri akan digarong.
Tragedy is coming to you, you destroyer who has not experienced destruction yourself, you deceiver who has not experienced deception yourself! When you have finished with your destroying, you will be destroyed yourself. Then you are finished with your deceiving, you will be deceived yourselves.
2 TUHAN, kasihanilah kami, Engkau kami nanti-nantikan! Lindungilah kami setiap pagi dengan tangan-Mu, ya, selamatkanlah kami di waktu kesesakan!
Lord, please be kind to us; we put our confidence in you. Be the strength we rely on every morning; be our salvation in times of trouble.
3 Waktu mendengar suara gemuruh ketika Engkau bangkit, larilah bangsa-bangsa dan berceraiberailah suku-suku bangsa.
When you roar, the peoples run away; when you prepare for action, the nations scatter!
4 Orang mengumpulkan jarahan seperti belalang pelahap menelan makanannya; mereka menyerbunya seperti serbuan kawanan belalang.
You plunder defeated enemy armies like caterpillars eating up plants; like an attack of swarming locusts.
5 TUHAN tinggi luhur, sebab Ia tinggal di tempat tinggi; Ia membuat Sion penuh keadilan dan kebenaran.
The Lord is praised for he lives in highest heaven; he has filled Zion with justice and right.
6 Masa keamanan akan tiba bagimu; kekayaan yang menyelamatkan ialah hikmat dan pengetahuan; takut akan TUHAN, itulah harta benda Sion.
He will be your constant support throughout your lives an abundant source of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge. Reverence for the Lord is what makes Zion rich.
7 Lihat, orang-orang Ariel menjerit di jalan, utusan-utusan yang mencari damai menangis dengan pedih.
But look! Even your bravest soldiers are crying loudly in the street; the messengers you sent to ask for peace are weeping bitterly.
8 Jalan-jalan raya menjadi sunyi dan seorangpun tiada lagi yang lintas di jalan. Perjanjian sudah diingkari, saksi-saksi sudah ditolak, dan manusia tidak dihiraukan.
Your highways are deserted; nobody's traveling on your roads anymore. He breaks the treaty; he despises the witnesses; he doesn't care about anybody.
9 Negeri berkabung dan merana; Libanon tersipu-sipu dan mati rebah; Saron sudah seperti padang belantara, Basan dan Karmel meluruh daun.
Israel is in mourning and fades away; Lebanon withers in shame; the fields of Sharon have become a desert; the forests of Bashan and Carmel have shed their leaves.
10 Sekarang, Aku akan bangkit, firman TUHAN, sekarang, Aku akan bangkit berdiri, sekarang, Aku akan berdiri tegak!
“But now I'm going to intervene!” says the Lord. “I'm prepared to act! I will show myself to be above all others!
11 Kamu mengandung rumput kering, dan melahirkan jerami; amarahmu seperti api yang memakan kamu sendiri.
All you give birth to is only dry grass, all you deliver is just stubble. Your breath is a fire that will burn you up.
12 Bangsa-bangsa akan dibakar menjadi kapur dan akan dibakar dalam api seperti semak duri yang ditebang.
You people will be burned to ashes like thorns that are cut down and thrown into the fire.
13 Hai orang-orang yang jauh, dengarlah apa yang telah Kulakukan, hai orang-orang yang dekat, ketahuilah keperkasaan-Ku!
Those of you who are far away, recognize what I have accomplished; those of you who are nearby, recognize how powerful I am.”
14 Orang-orang yang berdosa terkejut di Sion orang-orang murtad diliputi kegentaran. Mereka berkata: "Siapakah di antara kita yang dapat tinggal dalam api yang menghabiskan ini? Siapakah di antara kita yang dapat tinggal di perapian yang abadi ini?"
The sinners who live in Zion tremble with fear; those who are irreligious are overcome with terror. They ask, “Who can live with this fire that consumes everything? Who can live among such everlasting burning?”
15 Orang yang hidup dalam kebenaran, yang berbicara dengan jujur, yang menolak untung hasil pemerasan, yang mengebaskan tangannya, supaya jangan menerima suap, yang menutup telinganya, supaya jangan mendengarkan rencana penumpahan darah, yang menutup matanya, supaya jangan melihat kejahatan,
Those who live right and speak the truth, those who refuse to profit from extortion and refuse to take bribes, who don't listen to plots to kill people, who close their eyes rather than look at evil.
16 dialah seperti orang yang tinggal aman di tempat-tempat tinggi, bentengnya ialah kubu di atas bukit batu; rotinya disediakan air minumnya terjamin.
They will live on high; they will be protected by the mountain fortresses; they will always be provided with food and will always have water.
17 Engkau akan memandang raja dalam semaraknya, akan melihat negeri yang terbentang jauh.
You will see the king in his wonderful appearance, and you will view a land that stretches into the distance.
18 Dalam hatimu engkau akan memikirkan kengerian yang sudah-sudah: "Sudah lenyapkah juru hitung, sudah lenyapkah juru timbang, dan sudah lenyapkah orang yang menghitung menara-menara?"
In your mind you will think about the terrifying things that were expected, and then ask yourself, “Where are the enemy officials—the scribes who were to record events, the treasurers who were to weigh the looted money, the surveyors who were to count and destroy the towers?”
19 Tidak lagi akan kaulihat bangsa yang biadab itu, bangsa yang logatnya samar, sehingga tidak dapat dipahami, yang bahasanya gagap, sehingga tiada yang mengerti.
You won't see these offensive people anymore with their barbaric language that sounds like someone stammering and is impossible to understand.
20 Pandanglah Sion, kota pertemuan raya kita! Matamu akan melihat Yerusalem, tempat kediaman yang aman, kemah yang tidak berpindah-pindah, yang patoknya tidak dicabut untuk seterusnya, dan semua talinya tidak akan putus.
On the contrary, you'll see Zion as a festival city. You will view Jerusalem as a quiet and peaceful place. It will be like a tent that's never taken down, whose tent-pegs are never pulled up, whose guy ropes never snap.
21 Di situ kita akan melihat betapa mulia TUHAN kita: seperti tempat yang penuh sungai dan aliran yang lebar; perahu dayung tidak melaluinya, dan kapal besar tidak menyeberanginya.
Right here our majestic Lord will be like a place of broad rivers and waters that no enemy ship with oars can cross—no great ship can pass.
22 Sebab TUHAN ialah Hakim kita, TUHAN ialah yang memberi hukum bagi kita; TUHAN ialah Raja kita, Dia akan menyelamatkan kita.
For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king. He is the one who will save us.
23 Tali-talimu sudah kendor, tidak dapat mengikat teguh tiang layar di tempatnya, tidak dapat membentangkan layar. Pada waktu itu orang akan membagi-bagi rampasan banyak-banyak, dan orang-orang lumpuh akan menjarah jarahan.
The rigging on your ship hangs loose so the mast isn't secure and the sail can't be spread. Then all the looted treasure you're carrying will be divided among the victors—even those who are lame will have their share.
24 Tidak seorangpun yang tinggal di situ akan berkata: "Aku sakit," dan semua penduduknya akan diampuni kesalahannya.
Nobody in Israel will say, “I'm sick,” and those who live there will have their guilt removed.
