Yesaya 24
1 TUHAN akan membinasakan bumi, sehingga menjadi tandus dan sepi. Ia akan membalik permukaannya dan menceraiberaikan penduduknya.
Some day, Yahweh is going to destroy everything on the earth. He will devastate it and cause it to become a desert and scatter its people.
2 Semua orang akan mengalami nasib yang sama: imam-imam dan rakyat, budak belian dan majikan, penjual dan pembeli, peminjam dan yang meminjamkan, kaya dan miskin.
He will scatter everyone— priests and common people, servants and their masters, maids and their mistresses, buyers and sellers, lenders and borrowers, people who owe money and people who are owed money.
3 Bumi akan berantakan dan dihancurkan. TUHAN sudah berbicara, dan hal itu pasti terjadi.
Nothing that is worth anything will be left on earth; everything valuable will be destroyed. [That will surely happen because] Yahweh has said it.
4 Bumi menjadi kering dan layu, seluruh dunia merana. Langit dan bumi merana bersama-sama.
[Everything on] the earth will dry up and die [DOU]; its important people will become weak and unimportant.
5 Bumi menjadi cemar karena penduduknya melanggar perintah-perintah Allah, mengubah ketetapan-ketetapan-Nya dan mengingkari perjanjian yang dibuat-Nya dengan mereka untuk selama-lamanya.
The earth has become unacceptable to Yahweh because the people who live on it have disobeyed his laws; they have rejected the agreement that he intended to last forever.
6 Sebab itu TUHAN telah mengutuk bumi dan menghukum penduduknya karena perbuatan mereka. Mereka dihanguskan dan sedikit saja dari mereka yang selamat.
Therefore, [Yahweh] will curse the earth; the people who live on it must be punished because of the sins that they have committed. They will be destroyed by fire, and [only a] few people will remain [alive].
7 Pohon anggur merana dan air anggur sukar didapat. Orang yang dahulu gembira sekarang sedih.
The grapevines will wither, and there will be no [grapes to make] wine. All [the people] who were previously happy will then groan and mourn.
8 Tidak lagi terdengar petikan kecapi yang riang dan tabuhan rebana yang meriah. Keramaian orang yang bersuka ria sudah berhenti.
People will no longer play cheerful songs with tambourines, people will no longer play joyfully on their harps, and people will no longer shout noisily [during their celebrations].
9 Tak ada lagi yang minum anggur dengan bernyanyi, tak ada lagi yang menikmati lezatnya minuman keras.
People will no longer sing while they drink wine, and [all] their alcoholic drinks will taste bitter.
10 Seluruh kota rusuh; semua pintu rumah terkunci karena penghuninya ketakutan.
[Towns and] cities will be desolate; every house will be locked to prevent thieves from entering.
11 Orang-orang berteriak di jalan-jalan karena kehabisan air anggur. Tak ada lagi kegembiraan di negeri itu untuk selama-lamanya.
[Mobs] will gather in the streets, wanting wine; no one on the earth will be happy [DOU] any more.
12 Kota sudah hancur lebur, dan gerbang-gerbangnya runtuh berantakan.
Cities will be ruined and [all] their gates will be battered/broken into pieces.
13 Itulah yang akan terjadi di seluruh bumi pada setiap bangsa. Sama halnya seperti di musim panen, waktu buah zaitun diambil sampai habis dan buah anggur yang terakhir dipetik dari pohon.
It will be like that all over the earth: [there will only be a few people still alive], like what happens when [workers] beat all the olives off a tree [and there are only a few left], [or] when they harvest the grapes and there are only a few left [on the vines].
14 Orang-orang yang selamat akan bernyanyi gembira. Orang di barat akan memberitakan keagungan TUHAN
But [those who are left alive] will sing joyfully; people [in nations] to the west [of Israel] will declare that Yahweh is very great;
15 dan orang di timur akan memuji Dia. Penduduk di pesisir akan mengagungkan TUHAN, Allah Israel.
people in nations to the east [of Israel will also] praise Yahweh [MTY]; in countries across the sea, people will praise Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship].
16 Dari ujung bumi terdengar nyanyian pujian untuk Israel, bangsa yang taat. Tetapi celakalah aku! Aku merana! Pengkhianat masih terus saja berkhianat, bahkan mereka semakin berkhianat.
We will hear [people] in the most distant places on the earth singing praise to [Yahweh], the [truly] righteous one. But [now], I am [SYN] very sad. Weep for me, [because] I have become thin and weak. Terrible things are happening! Treacherous [people still] betray/deceive others everywhere [DOU].
17 Dengarlah, hai seluruh penduduk bumi! Kegemparan, perangkap dan jerat menantikan kamu.
You people all over the earth, you will be terrified, and you will fall into deep pits and traps/snares.
18 Orang yang melarikan diri dari kegemparan akan jatuh ke dalam perangkap, dan orang yang luput dari perangkap akan terjerat. Hujan deras akan tercurah dari langit, dan dasar bumi akan guncang.
Those who [try to] flee because they are terrified will fall into [deep] pits, and those who climb out of the pits will be caught by traps/snares. The sky will split open and torrents [SIM] [of rain will fall]; the foundations of the earth will shake.
19 Bumi retak, remuk dan goyah.
The earth will split apart and be shattered; it will shake violently.
20 Bola bumi terhuyung-huyung seperti orang mabuk, dan goyang seperti gubuk dalam badai. Bumi roboh karena berat dosanya. Ia hancur dan tak akan bangkit lagi.
[It will be as though] the earth will stagger like [SIM] a drunk; it will shake like [SIM] a hut [shakes in a windstorm]. It will collapse and not [be able to] rise again, [because] the guilt of the people who rebel [against Yahweh] is very great.
21 Pada waktu itu TUHAN akan menghukum para penguasa angkasa raya dan raja-raja di bumi.
At that time, Yahweh will punish the [wicked] powerful beings in the skies and the wicked kings on the earth.
22 Mereka akan dikumpulkan bersama-sama seperti tahanan di dalam liang, dan dijebloskan ke dalam penjara sampai tiba waktunya untuk dihukum.
They will [all] be gathered together and thrown into a dungeon/pit. They will be shut/locked in that dungeon/pit, and later they will be punished.
23 Bulan akan menjadi gelap dan matahari tak lagi bersinar, sebab TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa akan memerintah sebagai raja. Ia akan memerintah di Yerusalem, di atas Bukit Sion, dan menunjukkan keagungan-Nya kepada para pemimpin umat-Nya.
At that time the light of the moon and the sun will be lessened; [it will be as though] they are ashamed [in the presence of] Yahweh, because he, the Commander of the armies of angels, will rule gloriously (on Zion Hill/in Jerusalem), in the presence of the leaders [of his people].
