Yesaya 26
1 Pada waktu itu orang akan menyanyikan nyanyian ini di tanah Yehuda: "Alangkah kuatnya kota kita; Allah sendiri membangun benteng-Nya, di sini kita selamat.
In that day, this song will be sung in the land of Judah [Praised]: “We have a strong city. God appoints yishu'ah ·salvation· for walls and bulwarks.
2 Bukalah pintu-pintu gerbang, supaya masuk bangsa yang setia, bangsa yang melakukan kehendak Allahnya.
Open the gates, that the upright nation may enter: the one which keeps faith.
3 TUHAN, Engkau memberi damai dan sejahtera kepada orang yang teguh hatinya, sebab ia percaya kepada-Mu.
You will keep whoever’s mind is steadfast in perfect peace, because he trusts in you.
4 Percayalah kepada TUHAN senantiasa, sebab TUHAN Allah selalu melindungi kita.
Trust in Adonai forever; for in Yah, Adonai, is an everlasting Rock.
5 TUHAN merendahkan orang yang congkak; Ia menghancurkan kota berkubu mereka, dan meratakannya dengan tanah.
For he has brought down those who dwell on high, the lofty city. He lays it low. He lays it low even to the ground. He brings it even to the dust.
6 Orang-orang miskin dan sengsara akan menginjak-injaknya."
The foot shall tread it down; Even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy.”
7 Orang jujur berjalan di jalan lurus, sebab Engkau, TUHAN, merintis jalan baginya.
The way of the just is uprightness. You who are upright make the path of the upright level.
8 Kami mengikuti keputusan-Mu, ya TUHAN, dan menanti-nantikan Engkau; Engkaulah pujian dan kerinduan hati kami.
Yes, in the way of your judgments, Adonai, have we waited for you. Your name and your renown are the desire of our soul.
9 Jiwaku merindukan Dikau di waktu malam, hatiku mendambakan Engkau di waktu pagi. Bila Engkau menghakimi bumi nanti, penduduk dunia akan mengetahui apa yang benar.
With my soul have I desired you in the night. Yes, with my spirit within me will I seek you earnestly; for when your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
10 Biarpun orang jahat diperlakukan dengan baik, ia tidak juga belajar apa yang benar. Di negara hukum pun ia berlaku curang, dan tak mau mengakui kuasa TUHAN.
Let favor be shown to the wicked, yet he will not learn righteousness. In the land of uprightness he will deal wrongfully, and will not see Adonai’s majesty.
11 TUHAN, Engkau siap menghukum musuh-Mu, tetapi mereka tidak mengetahuinya. Biarlah mereka malu tersipu-sipu melihat kasih-Mu bagi umat-Mu. Biarlah mereka habis musnah oleh hukuman yang Kausediakan bagi mereka.
Adonai, your hand is lifted up, yet they don’t see; but they will see your zeal for the people, and be disappointed. Yes, fire will consume your adversaries.
12 TUHAN, Engkau akan membuat kami sejahtera; segala yang kami kerjakan, Engkaulah yang melakukannya bagi kami.
Adonai, you will ordain peace for us, for you have also done all our work for us.
13 Kami pernah dikuasai oleh tuan-tuan lain, tetapi hanya Engkau yang kami akui, ya TUHAN Allah kami!
Yahweh Eloheikhem [Yahweh our God], other lords besides you have had dominion over us, but by you only will we make mention of your name.
14 Mereka sudah mati dan tak akan hidup lagi, arwahnya tak akan bangkit kembali. Sebab mereka sudah habis Kaubinasakan dan Kauhapus dari ingatan.
The dead shall not live. The departed spirits shall not rise. Therefore you have visited and destroyed them, and caused all memory of them to perish.
15 Engkau telah melipatgandakan kami umat-Mu, ya TUHAN, dan meluaskan wilayah kami, karena itu Engkau diagungkan.
You have increased the nation, O Adonai. You have increased the nation! You are glorified! You have enlarged all the borders of the land.
16 Engkau telah menghukum kami; dalam kesesakan kami berpaling kepada-Mu, dan berdoa kepada-Mu, TUHAN.
Adonai, in trouble they have visited you. They poured out a prayer when your chastening was on them.
17 Seperti wanita yang hendak melahirkan menggeliat dan berteriak kesakitan, demikianlah kami di hadapan-Mu, TUHAN.
Like as a woman with child, who draws near the time of her delivery, is in pain and cries out in her pangs; so we have been before you, Adonai.
18 Kami mengandung dan menggeliat kesakitan, tetapi tidak melahirkan apa-apa; kami tidak memberi keselamatan kepada dunia, tidak juga menambah penduduknya.
We have been with child. We have been in pain. We gave birth, it seems, only to wind. We have not worked any yishu'ah ·deliverance· in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.
19 Umat-Mu yang sudah mati akan hidup kembali, mayat-mayat mereka akan bangkit lagi. Orang yang sudah dikubur di dalam tanah akan bangkit dan bersorak-sorai. Seperti embun yang menyegarkan bumi, Engkau menghidupkan umat-Mu yang sudah lama mati.
Your dead shall live. My dead bodies shall arise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in the dust; for your dew is like the dew of herbs, and the earth will cast out the departed spirits.
20 Masuklah ke dalam rumahmu, hai bangsaku, lalu tutuplah pintu. Bersembunyilah untuk sementara waktu sampai kemarahan TUHAN sudah reda.
Come, my people, enter into your rooms, and shut your doors behind you. Hide yourself for a little moment, until the indignation is past.
21 TUHAN akan turun dari tempat kediaman-Nya di surga untuk menghukum penduduk bumi karena dosa mereka. Pembunuhan yang mereka lakukan dengan sembunyi-sembunyi akan disingkapkan. Tanah tidak lagi menutupi orang-orang yang mati dibunuh.
For, behold, Adonai comes out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity. The earth also will disclose her blood, and will no longer cover her slain.
