The Greatness of God
1Hiburkanlah, hiburkanlah umat-Ku, demikian firman Allahmu, 2tenangkanlah hati Yerusalem dan serukanlah kepadanya, bahwa perhambaannya sudah berakhir, bahwa kesalahannya telah diampuni, sebab ia telah menerima hukuman dari tangan TUHAN dua kali lipat karena segala dosanya.
1“Comfort, comfort My people,” says your God. 2“Speak kindly to Jerusalem;
And call out to her, that her warfare has ended,
That her guilt has been removed,
That she has received of the LORD’S hand
Double for all her sins.”
And call out to her, that her warfare has ended,
That her guilt has been removed,
That she has received of the LORD’S hand
Double for all her sins.”
3Ada suara yang berseru-seru: "Persiapkanlah di padang gurun jalan untuk TUHAN, luruskanlah di padang belantara jalan raya bagi Allah kita! 4Setiap lembah harus ditutup, dan setiap gunung dan bukit diratakan; tanah yang berbukit-bukit harus menjadi tanah yang rata, dan tanah yang berlekuk-lekuk menjadi dataran; 5maka kemuliaan TUHAN akan dinyatakan dan seluruh umat manusia akan melihatnya bersama-sama; sungguh, TUHAN sendiri telah mengatakannya." 6Ada suara yang berkata: "Berserulah !" Jawabku: "Apakah yang harus kuserukan ?" "Seluruh umat manusia adalah seperti rumput dan semua semaraknya seperti bunga di padang. 7Rumput menjadi kering, bunga menjadi layu, apabila TUHAN menghembusnya dengan nafas-Nya. Sesungguhnyalah bangsa itu seperti rumput. 8Rumput menjadi kering, bunga menjadi layu, tetapi firman Allah kita tetap untuk selama-lamanya."
3The voice of one calling out,
“Clear the way for the LORD in the wilderness;
Make straight in the desert a highway for our God. 4“Let every valley be lifted up,
And every mountain and hill be made low;
And let the uneven ground become a plain,
And the rugged terrain a broad valley; 5Then the glory of the LORD will be revealed,
And all flesh will see it together;
For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.” 6A voice says, “Call out.”
Then he answered, “What shall I call out?”
All flesh is grass, and all its loveliness is like the flower of the field. 7The grass withers, the flower fades,
When the breath of the LORD blows upon it;
The people are indeed grass! 8The grass withers, the flower fades,
But the word of our God stands forever.

9Hai Sion, pembawa kabar baik, naiklah ke atas gunung yang tinggi ! Hai Yerusalem, pembawa kabar baik, nyaringkanlah suaramu kuat-kuat, nyaringkanlah suaramu, jangan takut ! Katakanlah kepada kota-kota Yehuda: "Lihat, itu Allahmu !" 10Lihat, itu Tuhan ALLAH, Ia datang dengan kekuatan dan dengan tangan-Nya Ia berkuasa. Lihat, mereka yang menjadi upah jerih payah-Nya ada bersama-sama Dia, dan mereka yang diperoleh-Nya berjalan di hadapan-Nya. 11Seperti seorang gembala Ia menggembalakan kawanan ternak-Nya dan menghimpunkannya dengan tangan-Nya; anak-anak domba dipangku-Nya, induk-induk domba dituntun-Nya dengan hati-hati.
9Go up on a high mountain,
Zion, messenger of good news,
Raise your voice forcefully,
Jerusalem, messenger of good news;
Raise it up, do not fear.
Say to the cities of Judah,
“Here is your God!” 10Behold, the Lord GOD will come with might,
With His arm ruling for Him.
Behold, His compensation is with Him,
And His reward before Him. 11Like a shepherd He will tend His flock,
In His arm He will gather the lambs
And carry them in the fold of His robe;
He will gently lead the nursing ewes.

12Siapa yang menakar air laut dengan lekuk tangannya dan mengukur langit dengan jengkal, menyukat debu tanah dengan takaran, menimbang gunung-gunung dengan dacing, atau bukit-bukit dengan neraca ? 13Siapa yang dapat mengatur Roh TUHAN atau memberi petunjuk kepada-Nya sebagai penasihat ? 14Kepada siapa TUHAN meminta nasihat untuk mendapat pengertian, dan siapa yang mengajar TUHAN untuk menjalankan keadilan, atau siapa mengajar Dia pengetahuan dan memberi Dia petunjuk supaya Ia bertindak dengan pengertian ? 15Sesungguhnya, bangsa-bangsa adalah seperti setitik air dalam timba dan dianggap seperti sebutir debu pada neraca. Sesungguhnya, pulau-pulau tidak lebih dari abu halus beratnya. 16Libanon tidak mencukupi bagi kayu api dan margasatwanya tidak mencukupi bagi korban bakaran. 17Segala bangsa seperti tidak ada di hadapan-Nya mereka dianggap-Nya hampa dan sia-sia saja.
12Who has measured the waters in the hollow of His hand,
And measured the heavens with a span,
And calculated the dust of the earth with a measure,
And weighed the mountains in a balance
And the hills in a pair of scales? 13Who has directed the Spirit of the LORD,
Or as His counselor has informed Him? 14With whom did He consult and who gave Him understanding?
And who taught Him in the path of justice and taught Him knowledge,
And informed Him of the way of understanding? 15Behold, the nations are like a drop from a bucket,
And are regarded as a speck of dust on the scales;
Behold, He lifts up the islands like fine dust. 16Even Lebanon is not enough to burn,
Nor its animals enough for a burnt offering. 17All the nations are as nothing before Him,
They are regarded by Him as less than nothing and meaningless.

18Jadi dengan siapa hendak kamu samakan Allah, dan apa yang dapat kamu anggap serupa dengan Dia? 19Patungkah ? Tukang besi menuangnya, dan pandai emas melapisinya dengan emas, membuat rantai-rantai perak untuknya. 20Orang yang mendirikan arca, memilih kayu yang tidak lekas busuk, mencari tukang yang ahli untuk menegakkan patung yang tidak lekas goyang.
18To whom then will you liken God?
Or what likeness will you compare with Him? 19As for the idol, a craftsman casts it,
A goldsmith plates it with gold,
And a silversmith fashions chains of silver. 20He who is too impoverished for such an offering
Selects a tree that does not rot;
He seeks out for himself a skillful craftsman
To prepare an idol that will not totter.

21Tidakkah kamu tahu ? Tidakkah kamu dengar ? Tidakkah diberitahukan kepadamu dari mulanya ? Tidakkah kamu mengerti dari sejak dasar bumi diletakkan? 22Dia yang bertakhta di atas bulatan bumi yang penduduknya seperti belalang; Dia yang membentangkan langit seperti kain dan memasangnya seperti kemah kediaman ! 23Dia yang membuat pembesar-pembesar menjadi tidak ada dan yang menjadikan hakim-hakim dunia sia-sia saja! 24Baru saja mereka ditanam, baru saja mereka ditaburkan, baru saja cangkok mereka berakar di dalam tanah, sudah juga Ia meniup kepada mereka, sehingga mereka kering dan diterbangkan oleh badai seperti jerami. 25Dengan siapa hendak kamu samakan Aku, seakan-akan Aku seperti dia? firman Yang Mahakudus. 26Arahkanlah matamu ke langit dan lihatlah: siapa yang menciptakan semua bintang itu dan menyuruh segenap tentara mereka keluar, sambil memanggil nama mereka sekaliannya? Satupun tiada yang tak hadir, oleh sebab Ia maha kuasa dan maha kuat.
21Do you not know? Have you not heard?
Has it not been declared to you from the beginning?
Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth? 22It is He who sits above the circle of the earth,
And its inhabitants are like grasshoppers,
Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain
And spreads them out like a tent to live in. 23It is He who reduces rulers to nothing,
Who makes the judges of the earth meaningless. 24Scarcely have they been planted,
Scarcely have they been sown,
Scarcely has their stock taken root in the earth,
But He merely blows on them, and they wither,
And the storm carries them away like stubble. 25“To whom then will you compare Me
That I would be his equal?” says the Holy One. 26Raise your eyes on high
And see who has created these stars,
The One who brings out their multitude by number,
He calls them all by name;
Because of the greatness of His might and the strength of His power,
Not one of them is missing.

27Mengapakah engkau berkata demikian, hai Yakub, dan berkata begini, hai Israel: "Hidupku tersembunyi dari TUHAN, dan hakku tidak diperhatikan Allahku ?" 28Tidakkah kautahu, dan tidakkah kaudengar ? TUHAN ialah Allah kekal yang menciptakan bumi dari ujung ke ujung; Ia tidak menjadi lelah dan tidak menjadi lesu, tidak terduga pengertian-Nya. 29Dia memberi kekuatan kepada yang lelah dan menambah semangat kepada yang tiada berdaya. 30Orang-orang muda menjadi lelah dan lesu dan teruna-teruna jatuh tersandung, 31tetapi orang-orang yang menanti-nantikan TUHAN mendapat kekuatan baru: mereka seumpama rajawali yang naik terbang dengan kekuatan sayapnya; mereka berlari dan tidak menjadi lesu, mereka berjalan dan tidak menjadi lelah.
27Why do you say, Jacob, and you assert, Israel,
“My way is hidden from the LORD,
And the justice due me escapes the notice of my God”? 28Do you not know? Have you not heard?
The Everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth
Does not become weary or tired.
His understanding is unsearchable. 29He gives strength to the weary,
And to the one who lacks might He increases power. 30Though youths grow weary and tired,
And vigorous young men stumble badly, 31Yet those who wait for the LORD
Will gain new strength;
They will mount up with wings like eagles,
They will run and not get tired,
They will walk and not become weary.
