Yesaya 3
1 Sesungguhnya, TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa akan mengambil dari Yerusalem dan Yehuda segala persediaan makanan dan minuman. Juga semua orang yang mereka andalkan:
For, behold, the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, takes away from Jerusalem and from Judah support and staff, the whole support of bread, and the whole support of water,
2 para pahlawan dan prajurit, hakim, nabi, tukang ramal dan penasihat,
the mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the diviner, and the elder,
3 perwira, orang terkemuka dan negarawan, tukang sihir dan tukang tenung.
the captain of fifty, and the honorable man, and the counselor, and the expert craftsman, and the skilful enchanter.
4 TUHAN akan mengangkat anak-anak muda menjadi pemimpin rakyat, dan mereka akan memerintah dengan sewenang-wenang.
And I will give sons to be their rulers, and babes shall rule over them.
5 Orang-orang akan saling menindas. Orang muda meremehkan orang tua, dan orang kecil meremehkan orang besar.
And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbor. The child shall behave himself proudly against the old man, and the base against the honorable.
6 Pada waktu itu orang akan menunjuk seorang sanak saudaranya dan berkata kepadanya, "Cuma engkau yang punya pakaian yang pantas; sebab itu jadilah pemimpin kami di zaman yang penuh kesusahan ini."
When a man shall take hold of his brother in the house of his father, saying, Thou have clothing, be thou our ruler, and let this ruin be under thy hand,
7 Tetapi ia akan menjawab, "Saya bukan dukun! Saya juga tidak punya makanan dan pakaian. Jangan suruh saya menjadi pemimpin bangsa!"
in that day he shall lift up his voice, saying, I will not be a healer, for in my house is neither bread nor clothing. Ye shall not make me ruler of the people.
8 Sungguh, Yerusalem sudah jatuh! Yehuda sudah runtuh! Sebab segala perkataan dan perbuatan mereka melawan TUHAN dan menantang kekuasaan-Nya.
For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen, because their tongue and their doings are against Jehovah, to provoke the eyes of his glory.
9 Sikap mereka yang sombong menunjukkan kejahatan mereka. Dengan terang-terangan mereka berdosa seperti orang Sodom dahulu. Celakalah mereka! Mereka mendatangkan celaka atas diri mereka sendiri.
The show of their countenance witnesses against them, and they declare their sin as Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to their soul! For they have done evil to themselves.
10 TUHAN berkata, "Sampaikanlah kepada orang yang taat kepada-Ku bahwa mereka akan bahagia dan selamat. Mereka akan menikmati hasil jerih payahnya.
Say ye of the righteous, that it is well, for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.
11 Tetapi celakalah orang jahat! Mereka akan diperlakukan seperti mereka telah memperlakukan orang lain.
Woe to the wicked! It is ill with him, for what his hands have done shall be done to him.
12 Umat-Ku akan ditindas oleh tukang riba dan diperas oleh lintah darat. Umat-Ku akan disesatkan oleh para pemimpinnya sehingga tak tahu lagi jalan yang harus mereka tempuh."
As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, those who lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.
13 TUHAN sudah siap untuk menggugat dan mengadili umat-Nya.
Jehovah stands up to contend, and stands to judge the peoples.
14 TUHAN bertindak sebagai hakim terhadap para pemimpin umat-Nya. Inilah tuduhan TUHAN terhadap mereka: "Kamulah yang merampok hasil kebun-kebun anggur; rumahmu penuh barang yang kamu rampas dari orang miskin.
Jehovah will enter into judgment with the elders of his people, and the rulers of it. It is ye who have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of a poor man is in your houses.
15 Mengapa kamu menindas umat-Ku dan memeras orang miskin? Aku, TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi dan Mahakuasa telah berbicara."
What do ye mean that ye crush my people, and grind the face of the poor? says the Lord, Jehovah of hosts.
16 TUHAN berkata, "Sombong benar wanita-wanita Yerusalem! Mereka genit, suka main mata dan berjalan dengan angkuh. Langkahnya dibuat-buat, dan gemerincing bunyi gelang-gelang kakinya.
Moreover Jehovah said, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with outstretched necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet,
17 Tetapi Aku akan menghukum mereka; kepala mereka akan penuh kudis dan digunduli."
therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and Jehovah will lay bare their secret parts.
18 Akan tiba waktunya TUHAN mengambil dari wanita-wanita Yerusalem segala perhiasan yang mereka banggakan: ikat kepala, gelang kaki, kalung,
In that day the Lord will take away the beauty of their anklets, and the hair nets, and the crescents,
19 gelang tangan, cadar,
the pendants, and the bracelets, and the mufflers,
20 tudung kepala, jimat-jimat di lengan dan pinggang,
the bonnets, and the ankle chains, and the sashes, and the perfume-boxes, and the amulets,
21 cincin dan anting-anting hidung,
the rings, and the nose-jewels,
22 pakaian pesta yang indah-indah, gaun mantel, dompet,
the festival robes, and the mantles, and the shawls, and the satchels,
23 baju tipis, pakaian linen, ikat leher dan kerudung panjang.
the hand-mirrors, and the fine linen, and the turbans, and the veils.
24 Sekarang mereka memakai wangi-wangian, nanti mereka berbau busuk. Ikat pinggang mereka yang halus akan diganti dengan tambang yang kasar. Kepala mereka yang berambut indah akan digunduli. Pakaian mereka yang bagus-bagus akan diganti dengan rombengan. Sekarang mereka cantik; nanti rupa mereka buruk karena diberi cap.
And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet spices there shall be rottenness, and instead of a girdle, a rope, and instead of well set hair, baldness, and instead of a robe, a girding of sackcloth, branding instead of beauty.
25 Orang laki-laki, juga yang kuat-kuat, akan tewas dalam perang.
Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war.
26 Di gerbang-gerbang kota orang akan berkabung dan meratap, dan kota itu sendiri akan seperti wanita ditelanjangi yang duduk di tanah.
And her gates shall lament and mourn, and she shall be desolate and sit upon the ground.
