Jeremiah 15

1 Then Yahweh said [this] to me: “Even if Moses and Samuel could [come back from their graves and] and stand in front of me [and plead with me for these Israeli people], I would not act mercifully [IDM] toward these people. [I would tell you], ‘Send them away from me. Cause them to leave me!’

TUHAN berfirman kepadaku: "Sekalipun Musa dan Samuel berdiri di hadapan-Ku, hati-Ku tidak akan berbalik kepada bangsa ini. Usirlah mereka dari hadapan-Ku, biarlah mereka pergi!

2 And if they ask you, ‘Where shall we go?’, tell them, ‘This is what Yahweh says: The ones that I say must die, will die: The ones that I say must die in wars [MTY], will die in wars. The ones that I say must die from hunger, will die from hunger. The ones that I say must be captured [and taken to other countries], will be captured [and taken to other countries].

Dan apabila mereka bertanya kepadamu: Ke manakah kami harus pergi?, maka jawablah mereka: Beginilah firman TUHAN: Yang ke maut, ke mautlah! Yang ke pedang, ke pedanglah! Yang ke kelaparan, ke kelaparanlah! dan yang ke tawanan, ke tawananlah!

3 I will send four things that will get rid of them: I will send [enemy soldiers using] swords to kill them. I will send wild dogs to drag away [their corpses]. I will send vultures to eat [their corpses]. And I will send [other] wild animals to eat what remains [of their corpses].

Aku akan mendatangkan atas mereka empat hukuman, demikianlah firman TUHAN: pedang untuk membunuh, anjing-anjing untuk menyeret-nyeret, burung-burung di udara dan binatang-binatang di bumi untuk memakan dan menghabiskan.

4 Because of [the wicked things that] King Manasseh did in Jerusalem, I will cause [people in] all the kingdoms of the earth to be horrified about [what will happen in Judah to] my people.

Dengan demikian Aku akan membuat mereka menjadi kengerian bagi segala kerajaan di bumi, oleh karena segala apa yang dilakukan Manasye bin Hizkia, raja Yehuda, di Yerusalem."

5 You [people of], no one will [RHQ] feel sorry for you. No one will [RHQ] weep/cry for you. No one will [RHQ] ask (how you are/if you are well).

"Siapakah yang akan merasa kasihan terhadap engkau, hai Yerusalem, dan siapakah yang akan turut berdukacita dengan engkau? Siapakah yang akan singgah untuk menanyakan perihal kesehatanmu?

6 You people have abandoned me; you have continued to walk away [from me] [DOU]. So, I will lift up my fist to smash you; I will not act mercifully toward you any longer.

Engkau sendiri telah menolak Aku, demikianlah firman TUHAN, telah pergi meninggalkan Aku. Maka Aku mengacungkan tangan-Ku dan membinasakan engkau; Aku sudah jemu untuk merasa sesal.

7 At the gates of your cities, I will [scatter you like a farmer scatters the chaff from his grain by] (winnowing it/throwing it up to allow the wind to blow the chaff away) [MET]. You, my people, have refused to turn away from your evil behavior. [So], I will get rid of you, and I will even cause your children to be killed.

Aku menampi mereka dengan tampi di kota-kota negeri; Aku membuat umat-Ku kehilangan anak dan membinasakan mereka, karena mereka tidak berbalik dari tingkah langkah mereka.

8 I will cause there to be more widows [in Judah] than [there are grains of] sand on the seashore [HYP]. At noontime, [when people will not be expecting it to happen], I will cause [an enemy army] to attack you, an army that will destroy your young men and cause their mothers to weep. I will cause you to suddenly experience great suffering/pain and become very terrified.

Janda-janda di antara mereka Kubuat lebih besar jumlahnya dari pada pasir laut. Aku mendatangkan ke atas ibu dan teruna suatu pembinasa pada tengah hari. Dengan tiba-tiba Aku menurunkan ke atas mereka kegelisahan dan kekejutan.

9 A woman who has seven children will become faint and (gasp for breath/be hardly able to breathe); [it will be as though] daylight will become darkness for her, [because most of] her children will be dead, and she will be disgraced and humiliated [DOU]. And her children who are still alive, I will enable your enemies to kill them. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.’”

Maka meranalah perempuan yang sudah tujuh kali melahirkan, nafasnya mengap-mengap, baginya matahari sudah terbenam selagi hari siang, ia menjadi malu dan tersipu-sipu. Sisa mereka akan Kuserahkan kepada pedang di depan musuh-musuh mereka, demikianlah firman TUHAN."

10 [I said to] my mother, “I am very sad; I wish that you had not given birth to me; everyone in this land opposes me and quarrels with me. I am not a person who lends [money to people and threatens to sue/harm them if they do not pay me back when they should], and I am not a person who borrows [money from others and then refuses to pay it back], but everyone [HYP] curses me.”

Celaka aku, ya ibuku, bahwa engkau melahirkan aku, seorang yang menjadi buah perbantahan dan buah percederaan bagi seluruh negeri. Aku bukan orang yang menghutangkan ataupun orang yang menghutang kepada siapapun, tetapi mereka semuanya mengutuki aku.

11 But Yahweh replied to me, “[Jeremiah], I will take care of you. And at times when your enemies have troubles and disasters, they will [come to you and] plead for you [to help them].”

Sungguh, ya TUHAN, aku telah melayani Engkau dengan sebaik-baiknya, dan telah membela musuh di depan-Mu pada masa kecelakaannya dan kesesakannya!

12 [Yahweh also told me to say to the people] of Judah, “Your enemies, who are [as strong as] iron or bronze, [will attack you] from the north; no one will be able to stop them.

Dapatkah orang mematahkan besi, besi dari utara dan tembaga?

13 I will give all the valuable possessions [of the people of Judah] to their enemies, without them paying for it. Their valuable possessions will be the payment/reward [that I will give them] because of all the sins that you have committed throughout your country.

"Harta kekayaanmu dan barang-barang perbendaharaanmu akan Kuberikan dirampas sebagai ganjaran atas segala dosamu di segenap daerahmu.

14 I will tell your enemies to force you to become their prisoners, and to take you to other lands that you do not [even] know about, and force you to become their slaves. [That will happen] because I am extremely angry [with you]; my being angry is [like] [SIM] a fire that will burn forever.”

Aku akan membuat engkau menjadi budak musuhmu di negeri yang tidak kaukenal, sebab dalam murka-Ku telah mencetus api yang akan menyala atasmu."

15 [Then I said], “Yahweh, you know [what is happening to me]. [Please] come and (help me/take care of me). Punish those who are (persecuting me/causing me to suffer). [Please] do not continue to be patient with them and do not allow me to die now. It is (for your sake/because I serve you) that I am suffering.

Engkau mengetahuinya; ya TUHAN, ingatlah aku dan perhatikanlah aku, lakukanlah pembalasan untukku terhadap orang-orang yang mengejar aku. Janganlah membiarkan aku diambil, karena panjang sabar-Mu, ketahuilah bagaimana aku menanggung celaan oleh karena Engkau!

16 Yahweh my God, you are the Commander of the armies of angels; and when you spoke to me, I was delighted with your message; it caused me to be joyful, and I eagerly accepted [MET] what you said because I belong to you. [IDM, MTY]

Apabila aku bertemu dengan perkataan-perkataan-Mu, maka aku menikmatinya; firman-Mu itu menjadi kegirangan bagiku, dan menjadi kesukaan hatiku, sebab nama-Mu telah diserukan atasku, ya TUHAN, Allah semesta alam.

17 When the people were carousing together, I never joined them; I sat alone, because you [MTY] are the one who controls what I do. I was very angry [with those people because of their sins].

Tidak pernah aku duduk beria-ria dalam pertemuan orang-orang yang bersenda gurau; karena tekanan tangan-Mu aku duduk sendirian, sebab Engkau telah memenuhi aku dengan geram.

18 So, (why do you [allow] me to continue to suffer?/I do not understand why you allow me to continue to suffer.) [RHQ] It seems that [RHQ] my wounds cannot be healed. [Sometimes you help me, sometimes you do not help me]. It seems that you are as undependable as a brook that has water in it only during certain seasons; you are like a spring that has dried up.”

Mengapakah penderitaanku tidak berkesudahan, dan lukaku sangat payah, sukar disembuhkan? Sungguh, Engkau seperti sungai yang curang bagiku, air yang tidak dapat dipercayai.

19 Then Yahweh [replied], “If you begin again to [trust in] me, I will restore you, in order that you can continue to serve me. If you proclaim good/valuable messages and not worthless ones, you will continue to be the one who speaks what I tell you to say. You must cause the people to pay attention to what you say; you must not pay attention to what they say.

Karena itu beginilah jawab TUHAN: "Jika engkau mau kembali, Aku akan mengembalikan engkau menjadi pelayan di hadapan-Ku, dan jika engkau mengucapkan apa yang berharga dan tidak hina, maka engkau akan menjadi penyambung lidah bagi-Ku. Biarpun mereka akan kembali kepadamu, namun engkau tidak perlu kembali kepada mereka.

20 They will fight against you, but I will protect you, like [SIM] people are protected from their enemies by a bronze wall. They will not defeat you, because I will be with you, and I will protect and rescue [DOU] you.

Terhadap bangsa ini Aku akan membuat engkau sebagai tembok berkubu dari tembaga; mereka akan memerangi engkau, tetapi tidak akan mengalahkan engkau, sebab Aku menyertai engkau untuk menyelamatkan dan melepaskan engkau, demikianlah firman TUHAN.

21 [Truly], I will keep you safe from those wicked people, I will rescue you when you are seized by cruel people. [That will happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.”

Aku akan melepaskan engkau dari tangan orang-orang jahat dan membebaskan engkau dari genggaman orang-orang lalim."
