Yesaya 52
1 Terjagalah, terjagalah! Kenakanlah kekuatanmu seperti pakaian, hai Sion! Kenakanlah pakaian kehormatanmu, hai Yerusalem, kota yang kudus! Sebab tidak seorangpun yang tak bersunat atau yang najis akan masuk lagi ke dalammu.
Awake, awake, put on your strength, Zion; put on your beautiful garments, Jerusalem, the holy city, for there shall no more enter into you the uncircumcised and the unclean.
2 Kebaskanlah debu dari padamu, bangunlah, hai Yerusalem yang tertawan! Tanggalkanlah ikatan-ikatan dari lehermu, hai puteri Sion yang tertawan!
Shake yourself from the dust. Arise, sit up, Jerusalem. Release yourself from the bonds of your neck, captive daughter of Zion.
3 Sebab beginilah firman TUHAN: Kamu dijual tanpa pembayaran, maka kamu akan ditebus tanpa pembayaran juga.
For thus says the LORD, "You were sold for nothing; and you shall be redeemed without money."
4 Sebab beginilah firman Tuhan ALLAH: Dahulu umat-Ku berangkat ke Mesir untuk tinggal di situ sebagai orang asing, lalu Asyur memeras dia tanpa alasan.
For thus says the LORD, "My people went down at the first into Egypt to live there, and the Assyrian oppressed them without cause.
5 Tetapi sekarang, apakah lagi urusan-Ku di sini? demikianlah firman TUHAN. Umat-Ku sudah dirampas begitu saja. Mereka yang berkuasa atas dia memegahkan diri, demikianlah firman TUHAN, dan nama-Ku terus dihujat sepanjang hari.
"Now therefore, what do I do here," says the LORD, "seeing that my people are taken away for nothing? Those who rule over them mock," says the LORD. "Because of you, my name is continually all the day blasphemed among the nations.
6 Sebab itu umat-Ku akan mengenal nama-Ku dan pada waktu itu mereka akan mengerti bahwa Akulah Dia yang berbicara, ya Aku!
Therefore my people shall know my name; in that day they will know that I am he who speaks; look, it is I."
7 Betapa indahnya kelihatan dari puncak bukit-bukit kedatangan pembawa berita, yang mengabarkan berita damai dan memberitakan kabar baik, yang mengabarkan berita selamat dan berkata kepada Sion: "Allahmu itu Raja!"
How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news of good things, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, "Your God reigns."
8 Dengarlah suara orang-orang yang mengawal engkau: mereka bersama-sama bersorak-sorai. Sebab dengan mata kepala sendiri mereka melihat bagaimana TUHAN kembali ke Sion.
The voice of your watchmen. They lift up the voice, together do they sing; for they shall see eye to eye, when the LORD returns to Zion with compassion.
9 Bergembiralah, bersorak-sorailah bersama-sama, hai reruntuhan Yerusalem! Sebab TUHAN telah menghibur umat-Nya, telah menebus Yerusalem.
Break forth into joy, sing together, you waste places of Jerusalem; for the LORD has comforted his people, he has redeemed Jerusalem.
10 TUHAN telah menunjukkan tangan-Nya yang kudus di depan mata semua bangsa; maka segala ujung bumi melihat keselamatan yang dari Allah kita.
The LORD has made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and every part of the earth has seen the salvation of our God.
11 Menjauhlah, menjauhlah! Keluarlah dari sana! Janganlah engkau kena kepada yang najis! Keluarlah dari tengah-tengahnya, sucikanlah dirimu, hai orang-orang yang mengangkat perkakas rumah TUHAN!
Depart, depart, go out from there, and touch no unclean thing. Go out from their midst, and be separate, you who bear the vessels of the LORD.
12 Sungguh, kamu tidak akan buru-buru keluar dan tidak akan lari-lari berjalan, sebab TUHAN akan berjalan di depanmu, dan Allah Israel akan menjadi penutup barisanmu.
For you shall not depart in haste, nor shall you leave in flight; for the LORD will go before you, and the God of Israel will be your rear guard.
13 Sesungguhnya, hamba-Ku akan berhasil, ia akan ditinggikan, disanjung dan dimuliakan.
Look, my servant shall deal wisely, he shall be exalted and lifted up, and shall be very high.
14 Seperti banyak orang akan tertegun melihat dia--begitu buruk rupanya, bukan seperti manusia lagi, dan tampaknya bukan seperti anak manusia lagi--
Just as many were astonished at you (his appearance was marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men),
15 demikianlah ia akan membuat tercengang banyak bangsa, raja-raja akan mengatupkan mulutnya melihat dia; sebab apa yang tidak diceritakan kepada mereka akan mereka lihat, dan apa yang tidak mereka dengar akan mereka pahami.
so shall he sprinkle many nations; kings shall shut their mouths at him. For that which was not told about him, they will see, and what they have not heard, they will understand.
