Isaiah 2
1 The word that Isaiah, the son of Amoz, saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
Inilah pesan Allah tentang Yehuda dan Yerusalem yang diterima Yesaya anak Amos:
2 And in the last days, the mountain of the house of the Lord will be prepared at the summit of the mountains, and it will be exalted above the hills, and all the nations shall flow to it.
Di hari-hari mendatang bukit tempat Rumah TUHAN menjulang tinggi dan berdiri tegak di atas gunung-gunung dan bukit-bukit. Segala bangsa berduyun-duyun ke sana,
3 And many peoples will go, and they will say: “Let us approach and ascend to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob. And he will teach us his ways, and we will walk in his paths.” For the law will go forth from Zion, and the Word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
mereka semua berkata, "Mari kita naik ke Bukit TUHAN, ke rumah Allah Israel. Ia akan mengajarkan kepada kita apa yang harus kita lakukan. Kita akan mengikuti jalan-Nya, sebab ajaran TUHAN datang dari Yerusalem, Ia berbicara dari Sion."
4 And he will judge the nations, and he will rebuke many peoples. And they shall forge their swords into plowshares, and their spears into sickles. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, neither will they continue to train for battle.
Ia akan menghakimi antara bangsa-bangsa, dan memutuskan perkara antara suku-suku bangsa. Pedang akan ditempa menjadi bajak, dan tombak dijadikan pisau pemangkas. Bangsa-bangsa tidak lagi saling menyerang, tidak juga bersiap-siap hendak berperang.
5 O house of Jacob, let us approach and walk in the light of the Lord.
Hai, keturunan Yakub, mari kita berjalan dalam terang TUHAN!
6 For you have cast aside your people, the house of Jacob, because they have been filled up, as in past times, and because they have had soothsayers as the Philistines have, and because they have joined themselves to foreign servants.
Ya Allah, Engkau telah meninggalkan umat-Mu, keturunan Yakub! Sebab di mana-mana di negeri ini orang memakai ilmu gaib yang berasal dari timur dan dari Filistin. Orang-orang meniru adat istiadat asing.
7 Their land has been filled with silver and gold. And there is no end to their storehouses.
Negerinya penuh perak dan emas, dan harta bendanya tidak terhingga. Kudanya amat banyak, dan keretanya tidak terhitung jumlahnya.
8 And their land has been filled with horses. And their four-horse chariots are innumerable. And their land has been filled with idols. They have adored the work of their hands, which their own fingers have made.
Di mana-mana ada berhala, dan mereka menyembah patung-patung buatan mereka sendiri.
9 And man has bowed himself down, and so man has become debased. Therefore, you should not forgive them.
Setiap orang akan dihina dan direndahkan. Jangan mengampuni mereka ya TUHAN!
10 Enter into the rock, and hide in a ditch in the soil, from the presence of the fear of the Lord, and from the glory of his majesty.
Mereka akan masuk ke dalam gua-gua di bukit-bukit karang, atau menggali lubang di dalam tanah supaya luput dari kemarahan TUHAN dan dari kuasa-Nya yang mulia.
11 The lofty eyes of man have been humbled, and the haughtiness of men will be bowed down. Then the Lord alone shall be exalted, in that day.
Orang sombong akan direndahkan dan orang angkuh ditundukkan. Hanya TUHAN sendiri yang diagungkan.
12 For the day of the Lord of hosts will prevail over all the proud and self-exalted, and over all the arrogant, and each one shall be humbled,
Pada hari itu TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa akan merendahkan semua yang meninggikan diri dan menghukum semua yang sombong dan yang angkuh.
13 and over all the straight and tall cedars of Lebanon, and over all the oaks of Bashan;
Pohon-pohon cemara yang tinggi di Libanon dan semua pohon besar di Basan akan dibinasakan.
14 and over all the lofty mountains, and over all the elevated hills;
Gunung-gunung dan bukit-bukit yang megah akan diratakan.
15 and over every lofty tower, and over every fortified wall;
Menara-menara yang tinggi dan tembok-tembok benteng akan dirobohkan.
16 and over all the ships of Tarshish, and over all the beauty that may be seen.
Kapal-kapal yang paling besar dan paling indah akan ditenggelamkan.
17 And the loftiness of men will be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men will be brought low. And the Lord alone shall be exalted, in that day.
Orang sombong akan direndahkan, dan orang angkuh ditundukkan. Hanya TUHAN sendiri yang diagungkan.
18 And idols will be thoroughly crushed.
Berhala-berhala akan hilang sama sekali.
19 And they will go into the caves of the rocks, and into the caverns of the earth, from the presence of the dread of the Lord, and from the glory of his majesty, when he will have risen up to strike the earth.
Pada saat TUHAN bangkit dan menggoncangkan bumi, orang akan masuk ke dalam gua-gua di bukit-bukit karang atau menggali lubang di dalam tanah supaya luput dari kemarahan TUHAN dan dari kuasa-Nya yang mulia. Apabila hari itu tiba, berhala-berhala perak dan emas yang mereka buat dan sembah itu akan ditinggalkan begitu saja untuk tikus dan kelelawar.
20 In that day, man shall cast aside his idols of silver and his images of gold, which he had made for himself, as if to reverence the moles and the bats.
21 And so he will go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the caverns of stone, from the presence of the dread of the Lord, and from the glory of his majesty, when he will have risen up to strike the earth.
22 Therefore, rest away from man, whose breath is in his nostrils, for he considers himself to be exalted.
Jadi, janganlah berharap kepada manusia yang fana, sebab ia tidak berharga.
