Yesaya 60
1 Bangkitlah, menjadi teranglah, sebab terangmu datang, dan kemuliaan TUHAN terbit atasmu.
[You people of] Jerusalem [PRS], stand up! Yahweh has done glorious things for you, and he has acted powerfully for you; so show others that he is very great!
2 Sebab sesungguhnya, kegelapan menutupi bumi, dan kekelaman menutupi bangsa-bangsa; tetapi terang TUHAN terbit atasmu, dan kemuliaan-Nya menjadi nyata atasmu.
[But spiritual] darkness has covered [all the other people-groups on] the earth, complete darkness, but Yahweh will show you how great he is, and other people will also see it.
3 Bangsa-bangsa berduyun-duyun datang kepada terangmu, dan raja-raja kepada cahaya yang terbit bagimu.
By seeing what he has done for you, [people of all] people-groups will see that he is very great, and kings will come to see the wonderful things that have happened to you.
4 Angkatlah mukamu dan lihatlah ke sekeliling, mereka semua datang berhimpun kepadamu; anak-anakmu laki-laki datang dari jauh, dan anak-anakmu perempuan digendong.
[Yahweh says], “Look around and you will see the people who will be returning from (exile/countries to which they have been forced to go)! Your sons will come from distant countries; others will carry your [little] daughters home.
5 Pada waktu itu engkau akan heran melihat dan berseri-seri, engkau akan tercengang dan akan berbesar hati, sebab kelimpahan dari seberang laut akan beralih kepadamu, dan kekayaan bangsa-bangsa akan datang kepadamu.
When you look at this happening, you will be very joyful [DOU], because people will bring valuable goods to you [from all around the world]. They will bring in ships valuable things from [many] nations.
6 Sejumlah besar unta akan menutupi daerahmu, unta-unta muda dari Midian dan Efa. Mereka semua akan datang dari Syeba, akan membawa emas dan kemenyan, serta memberitakan perbuatan masyhur TUHAN.
People will [also] bring valuable goods to you on herds/caravans of camels: Camels from the Midian and Ephah [areas of northern Arabia]. And from Sheba [in southern Arabia] they will come, bringing gold and frankincense; they will all come to praise [me], Yahweh.
7 Segala kambing domba Kedar akan berhimpun kepadamu, domba-domba jantan Nebayot akan tersedia untuk ibadahmu; semuanya akan dipersembahkan di atas mezbah-Ku sebagai korban yang berkenan kepada-Ku, dan Aku akan menyemarakkan rumah keagungan-Ku.
They will bring flocks [of sheep and goats] from Kedar [in northern Arabia and give them] to you. [They will bring] [PRS] rams from Nebaioth for you [to sacrifice] on my altars, and I will accept them [happily]. [At that time] I will cause my temple to be very beautifully decorated.
8 Siapakah mereka ini yang melayang seperti awan dan seperti burung merpati ke pintu kandangnya?
And what are those things that are moving swiftly like [SIM] clouds? They resemble [SIM] doves [returning] to their nests.
9 Sungguh, Akulah yang dinanti-nantikan pulau-pulau yang jauh; kapal-kapal Tarsis berlayar di depan untuk membawa anak-anakmu laki-laki dari jauh, perak dan emasnya dibawa serta, untuk nama TUHAN, Allahmu, dan oleh karena Yang Mahakudus, Allah Israel, sebab Ia mengagungkan engkau.
But they are really ships from Tarshish that are bringing your people back here. When your people come, they will bring with them [all] the valuable possessions that they have acquired, and [they will do that] to honor [me], Yahweh, your God, the Holy One of Israel, because I will have greatly honored you.
10 Orang-orang asing akan membangun tembokmu, dan raja-raja mereka akan melayani engkau; sebab dalam murka-Ku Aku telah menghajar engkau, namun Aku telah berkenan untuk mengasihani engkau.
Foreigners will [come and] rebuild the walls of your [cities], and their kings will serve/help you. Although I punished you because I was angry with you, these things will happen now because I will act mercifully toward you because I am kind.
11 Pintu-pintu gerbangmu akan terbuka senantiasa, baik siang maupun malam tidak akan tertutup, supaya orang dapat membawa kekayaan bangsa-bangsa kepadamu, sedang raja-raja mereka ikut digiring sebagai tawanan.
The gates of your [cities] will be open during the day and [also] during the night, in order that people will be able to bring into your cities valuable things from [many] countries, with their kings being led to you in the processions.
12 Sungguh, bangsa dan kerajaan yang tidak mau mengabdi kepadamu akan lenyap; bangsa-bangsa itu akan dirusakbinasakan.
And the kingdoms and nations whose [people] refuse to allow you to rule them will be completely destroyed [DOU].
13 Kemuliaan Libanon, yaitu pohon sanobar, pohon berangan dan pohon cemara, akan dibawa bersama-sama kepadamu, untuk mempersemarak tempat bait kudus-Ku, sebab Aku hendak memuliakan tempat kaki-Ku berjejak.
The glorious/beautiful things in Lebanon will be brought to you— [lumber from] cypress [trees] and fir [trees] and pine [trees]— to be used to make my temple beautiful. When that is done, my temple [MTY] will [truly] be glorious!
14 Anak-anak orang-orang yang menindas engkau akan datang kepadamu dan tunduk, dan semua orang yang menista engkau akan sujud menyembah telapak kakimu; mereka akan menyebutkan engkau "kota TUHAN", "Sion, milik Yang Mahakudus, Allah Israel."
The descendants of those who (oppressed you/treated you cruelly) will come and bow down to you; those who despised you will prostrate themselves in front of your feet. They will say that your city on Zion Hill is the City of Yahweh, where the Holy One of Israel lives.
15 Sebagai ganti keadaanmu dahulu, ketika engkau ditinggalkan, dibenci dan tidak disinggahi seorangpun, sekarang Aku akan membuat engkau menjadi kebanggaan abadi, menjadi kegirangan turun-temurun.
Previously everyone hated you and ignored you, but now your [city] will be majestic/honored forever; and [I will cause you to be] joyful forever.
16 Engkau akan mengisap susu bangsa-bangsa dan akan meminum susu kerajaan-kerajaan maka engkau akan mengetahui, bahwa Akulah, TUHAN, Juruselamatmu, dan Penebusmu, Yang Mahakuasa, Allah Yakub.
People of all nations and their kings will gladly bring [MET] their wealth to you. And [when that happens], you will realize that I truly am Yahweh, the one who saves you and rescues you [from your enemies], and that I am the mighty one to whom you Israeli people belong.
17 Sebagai ganti tembaga Aku akan membawa emas, dan sebagai ganti besi Aku akan membawa perak, sebagai ganti kayu, tembaga, dan sebagai ganti batu, besi; Aku akan memberikan damai sejahtera dan keadilan yang akan melindungi dan mengatur hidupmu.
Instead of [metals that are not valuable, like] bronze and iron, I will bring to you silver and gold. Instead of wood and stones, I will bring you bronze and iron [for your buildings]. There will be peace in your country, and your rulers will do what is fair/just.
18 Tidak akan ada lagi kabar tentang perbuatan kekerasan di negerimu, tentang kebinasaan atau keruntuhan di daerahmu; engkau akan menyebutkan tembokmu "Selamat" dan pintu-pintu gerbangmu "Pujian".
People in your country will no longer act violently, and people will no longer destroy your land and cause it to become desolate/ruined. The people in the city will be safe, and everyone there will praise me [MTY].
19 Bagimu matahari tidak lagi menjadi penerang pada siang hari dan cahaya bulan tidak lagi memberi terang pada malam hari, tetapi TUHAN akan menjadi penerang abadi bagimu dan Allahmu akan menjadi keagunganmu.
And you will no longer need the sun and moon to give you light, because [I], Yahweh, will give you more light [than the sun and moon]; I will be a glorious light for you forever.
20 Bagimu akan ada matahari yang tidak pernah terbenam dan bulan yang tidak surut, sebab TUHAN akan menjadi penerang abadi bagimu, dan hari-hari perkabunganmu akan berakhir.
[It will seem as though] the sun and moon will always be shining [LIT], because [I], Yahweh, will be an everlasting light for you. You will never again be sad [because of things that happen to you].
21 Pendudukmu semuanya orang-orang benar, mereka memiliki negeri untuk selama-lamanya; mereka sebagai cangkokan yang Kutanam sendiri untuk memperlihatkan keagungan-Ku.
Your people will all be righteous, and they will occupy the land forever, because I myself have put you there [like people plant trees] [MET] in order that you will show others that I am very great.
22 Yang paling kecil akan menjadi kaum yang besar, dan yang paling lemah akan menjadi bangsa yang kuat; Aku, TUHAN, akan melaksanakannya dengan segera pada waktunya.
At that time, the [groups that are] very small now will become [very large] clans, and small clans will become great nations. [All those things will happen because], I, Yahweh, will cause them to happen at the right time.”
