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: We have a strong city; God has made salvation its walls and ramparts.
2 Bukalah pintu-pintu gerbang, supaya masuk bangsa yang setia, bangsa yang melakukan kehendak Allahnya.
Open the gates, that the righteous nation that keeps faith may enter in.
3 TUHAN, Engkau memberi damai dan sejahtera kepada orang yang teguh hatinya, sebab ia percaya kepada-Mu.
The mind that is stayed on you, you will keep him in perfect peace, for he trusts in you.
4 Percayalah kepada TUHAN senantiasa, sebab TUHAN Allah selalu melindungi kita.
Trust in Yahweh forever; for in Yah, Yahweh, is an everlasting rock.
5 TUHAN merendahkan orang yang congkak; Ia menghancurkan kota berkubu mereka, dan meratakannya dengan tanah.
For he will bring down those who live proudly; the fortified city he will lay low, he will lay low to the ground; he will level it to the dust.
6 Orang-orang miskin dan sengsara akan menginjak-injaknya."
It will be trampled down by the feet of the poor and the treading of the needy.
7 Orang jujur berjalan di jalan lurus, sebab Engkau, TUHAN, merintis jalan baginya.
The path of the righteous is level, Righteous One; the path of the righteous you make straight.
8 Kami mengikuti keputusan-Mu, ya TUHAN, dan menanti-nantikan Engkau; Engkaulah pujian dan kerinduan hati kami.
Yes, in the path of your judgments, Yahweh, we wait for you; your name and your reputation are our desire.
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.
I have longed for you in the night; yes, my spirit within me seeks you earnestly. For when your judgments come on the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn about 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 one, but he will not learn righteousness. In the land of uprightness he acts wickedly and does not see the majesty of Yahweh.
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.
Yahweh, your hand is lifted up, but they do not notice. But they will see your zeal for the people and be put to shame, because fire of your adversaries will devour them.
12 TUHAN, Engkau akan membuat kami sejahtera; segala yang kami kerjakan, Engkaulah yang melakukannya bagi kami.
Yahweh, you will bring about peace for us; for indeed, you have also accomplished all our works for us.
13 Kami pernah dikuasai oleh tuan-tuan lain, tetapi hanya Engkau yang kami akui, ya TUHAN Allah kami!
Yahweh our God, other masters besides you have ruled over us; but we praise your name alone.
14 Mereka sudah mati dan tak akan hidup lagi, arwahnya tak akan bangkit kembali. Sebab mereka sudah habis Kaubinasakan dan Kauhapus dari ingatan.
They are dead, they will not live; they are deceased, they will not arise. Indeed, you came in judgment and destroyed them, and made every 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, Yahweh, you have increased the nation; you are honored; you have extended all the borders of the land.
16 Engkau telah menghukum kami; dalam kesesakan kami berpaling kepada-Mu, dan berdoa kepada-Mu, TUHAN.
Yahweh, in trouble have they looked to you; they whispered prayers when your discipline was on them.
17 Seperti wanita yang hendak melahirkan menggeliat dan berteriak kesakitan, demikianlah kami di hadapan-Mu, TUHAN.
As a pregnant woman nears the time for her to give birth, when she is in pain and cries out in her labor pains, so we have been before you, Lord.
18 Kami mengandung dan menggeliat kesakitan, tetapi tidak melahirkan apa-apa; kami tidak memberi keselamatan kepada dunia, tidak juga menambah penduduknya.
We have been pregnant, we have been in labor, but it is as if we have only given birth to wind. We have not brought salvation to the earth, and the inhabitants of the world have not 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 will live; their dead bodies will arise. Awake and sing for joy, you who live in the dust; for your dew is the dew of light, and the earth will bring forth its dead.
20 Masuklah ke dalam rumahmu, hai bangsaku, lalu tutuplah pintu. Bersembunyilah untuk sementara waktu sampai kemarahan TUHAN sudah reda.
Go, my people, enter into your rooms and shut your doors behind you; hide for a little while, until the indignation has passed by.
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, look, Yahweh is about to come out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity; the earth will uncover her bloodshed, and will no longer conceal her slain.
