Yesaya 62
1 Oleh karena Sion aku tidak dapat berdiam diri, dan oleh karena Yerusalem aku tidak akan tinggal tenang, sampai kebenarannya bersinar seperti cahaya dan keselamatannya menyala seperti suluh.
Because I am very concerned about [the people of] Jerusalem [DOU], I will do something to help them. I will not stop praying for them until they are rescued/freed [from their oppressors], until that becomes as apparent to everyone as the dawn [every morning], until people can see it as clearly as [SIM] they see a torch shining brightly [at night].
2 Maka bangsa-bangsa akan melihat kebenaranmu, dan semua raja akan melihat kemuliaanmu, dan orang akan menyebut engkau dengan nama baru yang akan ditentukan oleh TUHAN sendiri.
[Some day] the [people of many] nations will know that Yahweh has rescued you, [his people]. Their kings will see that your city is [very] great/glorious. And Yahweh [MTY] will give your [city] a new name.
3 Engkau akan menjadi mahkota keagungan di tangan TUHAN dan serban kerajaan di tangan Allahmu.
[It will be as though] Yahweh will hold you up in his hands in order that everyone can see you. Under his authority [MTY], you will be [like] a glorious headband/turban worn by a king.
4 Engkau tidak akan disebut lagi "yang ditinggalkan suami", dan negerimu tidak akan disebut lagi "yang sunyi", tetapi engkau akan dinamai "yang berkenan kepada-Ku" dan negerimu "yang bersuami", sebab TUHAN telah berkenan kepadamu, dan negerimu akan bersuami.
Your [city] will never again be called “the deserted/abandoned city” and your country will never again be called “the desolate land”; it will be called “the land that Yahweh delights in”, and [it will also be called] “married to Yahweh”. It will be called that because Yahweh will be delighted with you, [and it will be as though] you are his bride [MET].
5 Sebab seperti seorang muda belia menjadi suami seorang anak dara, demikianlah Dia yang membangun engkau akan menjadi suamimu, dan seperti girang hatinya seorang mempelai melihat pengantin perempuan, demikianlah Allahmu akan girang hati atasmu.
You people will live in all the country of Judah like [SIM] a young man lives with his bride. And our God will be happy that you [belong to] him like [SIM] a bridegroom is happy that his bride [belongs to him].
6 Di atas tembok-tembokmu, hai Yerusalem, telah Kutempatkan pengintai-pengintai. Sepanjang hari dan sepanjang malam, mereka tidak akan pernah berdiam diri. Hai kamu yang harus mengingatkan TUHAN kepada Sion, janganlah kamu tinggal tenang
[You people of] Jerusalem, I have placed watchmen on your walls; they will [LIT] earnestly pray to Yahweh day and night. You watchmen, you must not stop [praying] [and] reminding Yahweh [about what he has promised to do]!
7 dan janganlah biarkan Dia tinggal tenang, sampai Ia menegakkan Yerusalem dan sampai Ia membuatnya menjadi kemasyhuran di bumi.
And tell Yahweh that he should not rest until he causes Jerusalem to be [a city that is] famous throughout the world.
8 TUHAN telah bersumpah demi tangan kanan-Nya, demi tangan kekuatan-Nya: "Sesungguhnya, Aku tidak akan memberi gandummu lagi sebagai makanan kepada musuhmu, dan sesungguhnya, orang-orang asing tidak akan meminum air anggurmu yang telah kauhasilkan dengan bersusah-susah;
Yahweh has raised his right hand to solemnly promise [to the people of Jerusalem], “I will use my power [MTY] and never again allow your enemies to defeat you; [soldiers from other nations will never come again] to take away your grain and the wine that you worked hard [to produce].
9 tetapi orang yang menuainya akan memakannya juga dan akan memuji-muji TUHAN, dan orang yang mengumpulkannya akan meminumnya juga di pelataran-pelataran tempat kudus-Ku."
You yourselves grew the grain, and you will be the ones who will praise [me], Yahweh, while you eat [the bread made from] that grain. Inside the courtyards of my temple you yourselves will drink the wine made from the grapes [that you harvested].”
10 Berjalanlah, berjalanlah melalui pintu-pintu gerbang, persiapkanlah jalan bagi umat, bukalah, bukalah jalan raya, singkirkanlah batu-batu, tegakkanlah panji-panji untuk bangsa-bangsa!
Go out through the [city] gates! Prepare the highway on which people [will return from other countries]! Cause the road to become smooth; clear off [all] the stones; set up signal flags to help the people-groups to see [where the road to Jerusalem is].
11 Sebab inilah yang telah diperdengarkan TUHAN sampai ke ujung bumi! Katakanlah kepada puteri Sion: Sesungguhnya, keselamatanmu datang; sesungguhnya, mereka yang menjadi upah jerih payah-Nya ada bersama-sama Dia dan mereka yang diperoleh-Nya berjalan di hadapan-Nya.
This is the message that Yahweh has sent to [the people of] every nation: “Tell the people of Israel, ‘The one who will rescue/save you is coming! Look! He will be bringing to you (your reward/what you deserve [for the good things that you have done]); those whom he is setting free will be going ahead of him.’”
12 Orang akan menyebutkan mereka "bangsa kudus", "orang-orang tebusan TUHAN", dan engkau akan disebutkan "yang dicari", "kota yang tidak ditinggalkan".
They will be called “Yahweh’s own people, the ones whom he rescued”. And Jerusalem will be known as the city that [Yahweh] loves, the city that is no [longer] abandoned.
