1Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the LORD: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged.
1TUHAN berkata: "Dengarlah Aku, hai kamu yang ingin diselamatkan dan datang kepada-Ku minta pertolongan. Ingatlah gunung batu dari mana kamu terpahat, dan penggalian batu dari mana kamu digali.
2Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him.
2Ingatlah nenek moyangmu Abraham dan Sara yang melahirkan kamu; waktu Aku memanggil Abraham, ia tidak punya anak; lalu Kuberkati dia dan Kuberi keturunan yang banyak.
3For the LORD shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the LORD; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.
3Yerusalem, Aku akan menghibur engkau, dan semua yang tinggal di puing-puingmu. Padang-padangmu yang tandus Kujadikan taman, seperti Eden, taman-Ku yang subur. Di situ orang akan bergirang dan bersuka ria dan bersyukur dengan nyanyi-nyanyian.
4Hearken unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation: for a law shall proceed from me, and I will make my judgment to rest for a light of the people.
4Perhatikanlah suara-Ku, hai bangsa-Ku, dengarlah kata-kata-Ku, hai umat-Ku. Kuberi ajaran-Ku kepada bangsa-bangsa, hukum-hukum-Ku akan menerangi mereka.
5My righteousness is near; my salvation is gone forth, and mine arms shall judge the people; the isles shall wait upon me, and on mine arm shall they trust.
5Keselamatan yang Kuberikan sudah dekat; saat kemenangan-Ku hampir tiba. Aku sendiri akan memerintah bangsa-bangsa. Negeri-negeri yang jauh menanti-nantikan Aku dan mengharapkan perbuatan-Ku yang perkasa.
6Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.
6Pandanglah langit dan tengoklah bumi; langit akan lenyap seperti asap dan bumi akan usang seperti baju tua, semua penduduknya akan mati seperti nyamuk. Tetapi keselamatan yang Kuberikan tetap selamanya, dan kemenangan-Ku tak akan berakhir.
7Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings.
7Dengarlah Aku, hai bangsa-Ku, kamu tahu apa yang benar; ajaran-Ku tersimpan di dalam hatimu. Jangan takut kalau kamu diejek manusia, jangan cemas kalau kamu dihina mereka.
8For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool: but my righteousness shall be for ever, and my salvation from generation to generation.
8Mereka akan binasa dan lenyap, seperti pakaian dimakan ngengat dan kain bulu domba dimakan gegat. Tapi keselamatan yang Kuberikan tetap selamanya, kemenangan-Ku berlangsung turun-temurun."
9Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD; awake, as in the ancient days, in the generations of old. Art thou not it that hath cut Rahab, and wounded the dragon?
9Bangkitlah ya TUHAN, tolonglah kami, selamatkanlah kami dengan kuasa-Mu. Bangkitlah seperti di zaman dahulu waktu Engkau meremukkan Rahab dan menikam naga laut itu sampai mati.
10Art thou not it which hath dried the sea, the waters of the great deep; that hath made the depths of the sea a way for the ransomed to pass over?
10Engkau pula yang mengeringkan laut, air samudra yang dalam. Engkau membuat jalan melalui air itu, supaya orang-orang yang diselamatkan dapat menyeberang.
11Therefore the redeemed of the LORD shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away.
11Maka orang-orang yang dibebaskan TUHAN akan pulang mereka masuk ke Yerusalem dengan sorak-sorai wajah mereka berseri karena sukacita abadi. Mereka bergembira dan bersuka ria, duka dan keluh kesah lenyaplah sudah.
12I, even I, am he that comforteth you: who art thou, that thou shouldest be afraid of a man that shall die, and of the son of man which shall be made as grass;
12TUHAN berkata, "Akulah yang menghibur kamu. Mengapa engkau takut kepada manusia yang fana, kepada manusia yang dibuang seperti rumput?
13And forgettest the LORD thy maker, that hath stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and hast feared continually every day because of the fury of the oppressor, as if he were ready to destroy? and where is the fury of the oppressor?
13Masakan engkau lupa akan TUHAN Penciptamu yang membentangkan langit dan meletakkan dasar bumi? Mengapa sepanjang hari engkau gentar terhadap amukan si penindas yang bersiap-siap memusnahkan? Sesungguhnya, amukan mereka itu tak akan mempan terhadapmu.
14The captive exile hasteneth that he may be loosed, and that he should not die in the pit, nor that his bread should fail.
14Para tawanan akan segera dibebaskan; mereka tak akan kekurangan makanan, dan tak akan mati dan dikubur.
15But I am the LORD thy God, that divided the sea, whose waves roared: The LORD of hosts is his name.
15Sebab Akulah TUHAN Allahmu, yang menggelorakan laut sehingga ombaknya berderu. Yang Mahakuasa adalah nama-Ku.
16And I have put my words in thy mouth, and I have covered thee in the shadow of mine hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say unto Zion, Thou art my people.
16Akulah yang membentangkan langit dan meletakkan dasar-dasar bumi. Aku berkata kepada Sion: Engkaulah umat-Ku; Aku memberi ajaran-Ku kepadamu dan melindungi engkau dengan kuasa-Ku."
17Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, which hast drunk at the hand of the LORD the cup of his fury; thou hast drunken the dregs of the cup of trembling, and wrung them out.
17Bangunlah, hai Yerusalem, bangunlah! Hukuman yang dijatuhkan TUHAN karena kemarahan-Nya sudah kaujalani sampai habis.
18There is none to guide her among all the sons whom she hath brought forth; neither is there any that taketh her by the hand of all the sons that she hath brought up.
18Dari pendudukmu tak ada yang membimbingmu, dari penghunimu tak ada yang menuntunmu.
19These two things are come unto thee; who shall be sorry for thee? desolation, and destruction, and the famine, and the sword: by whom shall I comfort thee?
19Engkau ditimpa dua macam bencana; akibat perang negerimu hancur binasa dan rakyatmu mati kelaparan. Tak ada yang mengasihani dan menghibur engkau.
20Thy sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as a wild bull in a net: they are full of the fury of the LORD, the rebuke of thy God.
20Di setiap ujung jalan orang-orangmu jatuh kehabisan tenaga seperti rusa yang kena jaring. Mereka ditimpa kemarahan Tuhan, dan kena hardik Allahmu.
21Therefore hear now this, thou afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine:
21Dengarlah hai orang-orang yang tertindas, yang terhuyung-huyung seperti orang mabuk!
22Thus saith thy Lord the LORD, and thy God that pleadeth the cause of his people, Behold, I have taken out of thine hand the cup of trembling, even the dregs of the cup of my fury; thou shalt no more drink it again:
22Beginilah kata Tuhanmu, TUHAN Allahmu yang membela kamu, "Penderitaan yang Kuberikan dalam kemarahan-Ku, akan Kuambil kembali daripadamu. Kemarahan-Ku akan reda, dan kamu tak usah lagi menanggungnya.
23But I will put it into the hand of them that afflict thee; which have said to thy soul, Bow down, that we may go over: and thou hast laid thy body as the ground, and as the street, to them that went over.
23Penderitaan itu Kuberikan kepada penindasmu, yang pernah menyuruh kamu berbaring di tanah, dan menginjak-injak kamu, seolah-olah kamu jalanan yang dilalui orang."
