Yesaya 52
1 Terjagalah, terjagalah! Kenakanlah kekuatanmu seperti pakaian, hai Sion! Kenakanlah pakaian kehormatanmu, hai Yerusalem, kota yang kudus! Sebab tidak seorangpun yang tak bersunat atau yang najis akan masuk lagi ke dalammu.
Awake, awake, put on your strength, Zion; put on your beautiful garments, Jerusalem, holy city; for never again will the uncircumcised or the unclean enter you.
2 Kebaskanlah debu dari padamu, bangunlah, hai Yerusalem yang tertawan! Tanggalkanlah ikatan-ikatan dari lehermu, hai puteri Sion yang tertawan!
Shake yourself off from the dust; arise and sit, Jerusalem; take off the chain from your neck, captive, daughter of Zion.
3 Sebab beginilah firman TUHAN: Kamu dijual tanpa pembayaran, maka kamu akan ditebus tanpa pembayaran juga.
For this is what Yahweh says, “You were sold for nothing, and you will be redeemed without money.”
4 Sebab beginilah firman Tuhan ALLAH: Dahulu umat-Ku berangkat ke Mesir untuk tinggal di situ sebagai orang asing, lalu Asyur memeras dia tanpa alasan.
For this is what the Lord Yahweh says, “In the beginning my people went down to live temporarily in Egypt; and Assyria has oppressed them for no good reason.
5 Tetapi sekarang, apakah lagi urusan-Ku di sini? demikianlah firman TUHAN. Umat-Ku sudah dirampas begitu saja. Mereka yang berkuasa atas dia memegahkan diri, demikianlah firman TUHAN, dan nama-Ku terus dihujat sepanjang hari.
Now what do I have here—this is Yahweh's declaration—seeing that my people are taken away for nothing? Those who rule over them mock—this is Yahweh's declaration—and my name is blasphemed continually all day long.
6 Sebab itu umat-Ku akan mengenal nama-Ku dan pada waktu itu mereka akan mengerti bahwa Akulah Dia yang berbicara, ya Aku!
Therefore my people will know my name; they will know in that day that I am the one who says, “Yes, it is I!”
7 Betapa indahnya kelihatan dari puncak bukit-bukit kedatangan pembawa berita, yang mengabarkan berita damai dan memberitakan kabar baik, yang mengabarkan berita selamat dan berkata kepada Sion: "Allahmu itu Raja!"
How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of the messenger who brings good news, who announces peace, who bears good tidings, who announces salvation, who says to Zion, “Your God reigns!”
8 Dengarlah suara orang-orang yang mengawal engkau: mereka bersama-sama bersorak-sorai. Sebab dengan mata kepala sendiri mereka melihat bagaimana TUHAN kembali ke Sion.
Listen, your watchmen raise their voices, together they shout for joy, for they will see, every eye of theirs, Yahweh's return to Zion.
9 Bergembiralah, bersorak-sorailah bersama-sama, hai reruntuhan Yerusalem! Sebab TUHAN telah menghibur umat-Nya, telah menebus Yerusalem.
Break out into joyful singing together, you ruins of Jerusalem; for Yahweh has comforted his people; he has redeemed Jerusalem.
10 TUHAN telah menunjukkan tangan-Nya yang kudus di depan mata semua bangsa; maka segala ujung bumi melihat keselamatan yang dari Allah kita.
Yahweh has bared his holy arm in the sight of all the nations; all the earth will see the salvation of our God.
11 Menjauhlah, menjauhlah! Keluarlah dari sana! Janganlah engkau kena kepada yang najis! Keluarlah dari tengah-tengahnya, sucikanlah dirimu, hai orang-orang yang mengangkat perkakas rumah TUHAN!
Leave, leave, go out from there; touch nothing unclean; leave from her midst; purify yourselves, you who carry the vessels of Yahweh.
12 Sungguh, kamu tidak akan buru-buru keluar dan tidak akan lari-lari berjalan, sebab TUHAN akan berjalan di depanmu, dan Allah Israel akan menjadi penutup barisanmu.
For you will not go out in a rush, nor will you leave in a panic; for Yahweh will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your rearguard.
13 Sesungguhnya, hamba-Ku akan berhasil, ia akan ditinggikan, disanjung dan dimuliakan.
Look, my servant will act wisely; he will be high and lifted up, and he will be exalted.
14 Seperti banyak orang akan tertegun melihat dia--begitu buruk rupanya, bukan seperti manusia lagi, dan tampaknya bukan seperti anak manusia lagi--
As many were horrified at you— his appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any man, and his form no longer looked like anything human.
15 demikianlah ia akan membuat tercengang banyak bangsa, raja-raja akan mengatupkan mulutnya melihat dia; sebab apa yang tidak diceritakan kepada mereka akan mereka lihat, dan apa yang tidak mereka dengar akan mereka pahami.
Even so, my servant will sprinkle many nations and kings will shut their mouths because of him. For that which they had not been told, they will see, and that which they had not heard, they will understand.
