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.
Terrible things will happen to you [people of Assyria]! You have destroyed [others], [but] you have not been destroyed [yet]. You have betrayed/deceived [others], [but] you have not been betrayed/deceived [yet]. When you stop destroying [others], others will destroy you. When you stop betraying/deceiving others, [others] betray you.
2 TUHAN, kasihanilah kami, Engkau kami nanti-nantikan! Lindungilah kami setiap pagi dengan tangan-Mu, ya, selamatkanlah kami di waktu kesesakan!
Yahweh, be kind to us, because we have patiently waited for you [to help us]. Enable us to be strong every day, and rescue us when we have troubles.
3 Waktu mendengar suara gemuruh ketika Engkau bangkit, larilah bangsa-bangsa dan berceraiberailah suku-suku bangsa.
Our enemies run away when they hear your voice. When you stand up and show that you are powerful [IDM], the people of all nations flee.
4 Orang mengumpulkan jarahan seperti belalang pelahap menelan makanannya; mereka menyerbunya seperti serbuan kawanan belalang.
[And after our enemies have been defeated], we, your people, will take away all our enemies’ possessions like [SIM] caterpillars and locusts strip off all the leaves of plants.
5 TUHAN tinggi luhur, sebab Ia tinggal di tempat tinggi; Ia membuat Sion penuh keadilan dan kebenaran.
Yahweh is greater than anyone else, and he lives in heaven, and he will rule justly and righteously in Jerusalem.
6 Masa keamanan akan tiba bagimu; kekayaan yang menyelamatkan ialah hikmat dan pengetahuan; takut akan TUHAN, itulah harta benda Sion.
[When that happens], he will enable you to live securely/safely; he will fully protect your possessions, he will enable you to be wise and to know [all that you need to know]; and revering Yahweh will be [like] [MET] a valuable treasure for you.
7 Lihat, orang-orang Ariel menjerit di jalan, utusan-utusan yang mencari damai menangis dengan pedih.
[But now], look, our brave men are crying out in the streets; our ambassadors [have gone to other countries to make peace treaties], [but they will] cry bitterly [because they will not succeed].
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.
No one travels on our roads [DOU]. [The leaders of Assyria] have broken/disregarded their peace treaty [with us]; they despise the people who made those treaties, and they do not respect anyone.
9 Negeri berkabung dan merana; Libanon tersipu-sipu dan mati rebah; Saron sudah seperti padang belantara, Basan dan Karmel meluruh daun.
The land [of Judah] is dry and barren. The [cedar trees in] Lebanon are drying up and decaying. The Sharon [Plain along the coast] is now a desert. There are no more leaves on the trees in the Bashan and Carmel [areas].
10 Sekarang, Aku akan bangkit, firman TUHAN, sekarang, Aku akan bangkit berdiri, sekarang, Aku akan berdiri tegak!
Yahweh says, “Now I will begin to show that I am very powerful [DOU].
11 Kamu mengandung rumput kering, dan melahirkan jerami; amarahmu seperti api yang memakan kamu sendiri.
You [people of Assyria] make plans that are [as useless as] [MET] chaff and straw. Your breath will become a fire that will burn you up.
12 Bangsa-bangsa akan dibakar menjadi kapur dan akan dibakar dalam api seperti semak duri yang ditebang.
[Your] people will be burned until only ashes remain [MET] like [SIM] thornbushes are cut down and burned up in a fire.
13 Hai orang-orang yang jauh, dengarlah apa yang telah Kulakukan, hai orang-orang yang dekat, ketahuilah keperkasaan-Ku!
You people who live far away and you people who live nearby, pay attention to what I have done and realize that I am [very] powerful.”
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 in Jerusalem will tremble because of being very afraid; godless people will be terrified. [They say], “None of us can [RHQ] remain alive because this fire is burning everything; it is like the fire on Yahweh’s altar that will burn forever!”
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 act honestly and say what is right, those who do not try to become rich by (extortion/forcing people to give them money), those who do not try to get bribes, those who refuse to listen to people who are planning to murder someone, those who do not join others who urge them to do what is wrong,
16 dialah seperti orang yang tinggal aman di tempat-tempat tinggi, bentengnya ialah kubu di atas bukit batu; rotinya disediakan air minumnya terjamin.
they are the people who will live safely [MTY]; they will find places to be safe in the caves in the mountains. They will have plenty of food and water.
17 Engkau akan memandang raja dalam semaraknya, akan melihat negeri yang terbentang jauh.
You [SYN] [people of Judah] will see the king wearing all his beautiful [robes], and you will see that he rules a land that extends far away.
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?"
When you see that, you will think about when you were previously terrified, [and you will say], “[The officers of Assyria] who counted the tax money that we were forced to pay to them [have disappeared] [RHQ]! Those men who counted our towers [are gone] [RHQ]!
19 Tidak lagi akan kaulihat bangsa yang biadab itu, bangsa yang logatnya samar, sehingga tidak dapat dipahami, yang bahasanya gagap, sehingga tiada yang mengerti.
Those arrogant people who spoke a language that we could not understand are no longer here!”
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.
[At that time], you will see Zion Hill, the place where we celebrate our festivals; you will see that Jerusalem has become a place that is calm and safe. It will be [secure], [like] [SIM] a tent [that cannot be moved because] its ropes are tight and its stakes are firmly in the ground.
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.
Yahweh will be our mighty God; he will be [like] [SIM] a mighty river that will protect us because [our enemies] will not be able to cross it; no one will be able to row across it and no ships will be able to sail across it.
22 Sebab TUHAN ialah Hakim kita, TUHAN ialah yang memberi hukum bagi kita; TUHAN ialah Raja kita, Dia akan menyelamatkan kita.
Yahweh is our judge; he is the one who gives us laws, and he is our king. He will rescue 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 ropes on our enemies’ boats will hang loose, their masts will not be fastened firmly, and their sails will not be spread out. The treasures that they have seized will be divided [among us, God’s people], and even lame [people among us] will get some.
24 Tidak seorangpun yang tinggal di situ akan berkata: "Aku sakit," dan semua penduduknya akan diampuni kesalahannya.
And the people in Jerusalem will no [longer] say, “We are sick,” [because Yahweh] will forgive the sins that have been committed by the people who live there.
