Jeremiah 48
1 This is a message about Moab. The Commander of the armies of angels said: “Terrible things will happen to Nebo [town]; it will [soon] be ruined. Kiriathaim [city] will be captured and [all its people will be] humiliated; the high wall around their city will be ruined, and [its people] will become ashamed.
Inilah yang dikatakan TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa, Allah Israel mengenai Moab, "Celakalah penduduk Nebo, kotanya sudah roboh! Kiryataim direbut, dan bentengnya yang kuat dihancurkan, sehingga penduduknya menjadi malu;
2 No one will boast about Moab again; the [enemies of Moab] will plan to destroy [the capital city, ] Heshbon. [They will say, ] ‘Come, let’s cause Moab to no longer be a nation.’ You people in Madmen [town], you also will be silenced; enemy armies [MTY] will pursue you.
lenyaplah kebanggaan Moab. Musuh telah merebut Hesybon dan di sana mereka merencanakan untuk melenyapkan seluruh bangsa Moab. Suara-suara di kota Madmen akan dihentikan, karena kota itu akan diserbu tentara.
3 Listen to the people of Horonaim [town] screaming; [they will be wailing because their town will have been] devastated and destroyed [DOU].
Dengar! Penduduk Horonaim berteriak, 'Kebinasaan! Kehancuran!'
4 [All of] Moab will be ruined; [even] the little children will cry [loudly].
Moab sudah musnah! Teriakan anak-anak kecilnya terdengar sampai ke Zoar.
5 They will cry bitterly as they climb up Luhith [Hill]. [Others will wail] on the road down to Horonaim, being very sad because of [their town being] destroyed.
Dengarlah suara tangis di jalan naik ke Luhit, dan suara ratapan di jalan turun ke Horonaim.
6 [Someone will say to them], ‘Flee! Hide in the desert!’
Kata mereka, 'Cepat! Selamatkan nyawamu! Larilah seperti keledai liar di gurun!'
7 But you trusted that because you were rich and powerful, [you would be safe]; so you will be captured. [The statue of your god] Chemosh and all his priests and officials will be taken away to distant lands.
Moab! Engkau mengandalkan ketangkasan dan kekayaanmu. Tapi sekarang engkau sendiri akan dikalahkan. Kamos, dewamu, bersama para imam dan para pejabatnya akan diangkut ke pembuangan.
8 All the towns [in Moab] will be destroyed; none of them will escape. [Towns in] the valleys and on the plateau will [all] be destroyed, because [I, ] Yahweh, have said that is what will happen.
Semua kota akan hancur, tak satu pun yang akan luput. Lembah dan dataran rendah seluruhnya akan musnah. Aku, TUHAN, telah berbicara.
9 Spread salt on the ground in order that it will become a wasteland with [nothing growing there any more], and no one will be living in it!”
Pasanglah batu nisan untuk Moab, sebab tak lama lagi negeri itu akan dimusnahkan sama sekali. Kota-kotanya akan runtuh dan tak seorang pun akan tinggal di sana."
10 Yahweh will curse anyone who will not eagerly do what he desires, anyone who refrains from using his sword to kill [MTY] others [in Moab].
Terkutuklah orang yang tidak melaksanakan tugas dari TUHAN dengan sungguh-sungguh. Terkutuklah dia yang tak menghunus pedang dan membunuh.
11 [The people of] Moab have always felt secure; they have never been (exiled/forced [by their enemies] to go to other countries). They are like [MET] wine that has been left undisturbed [in a container for many days to give it good flavor], so now it smells good, and it tastes good.
TUHAN berkata, "Sejak dulu Moab hidup aman. Belum pernah ia diangkut ke pembuangan. Ia seperti air anggur yang dibiarkan mengendap dan tak pernah dituang ke tempat anggur yang lain. Anggurnya masih harum dan enak.
12 But Yahweh says that there will be a time when he will send [enemies to attack them]; they will get rid of the people of Moab like people pour out wine [on the ground] and then smash the wine jar.
Tetapi, akan tiba waktunya Aku menyuruh agar Moab dituang seperti anggur, dan tempat-tempatnya dikosongkan dan dipecahkan.
13 Then [the people of] Moab will be ashamed of [their god/idol] Chemosh [because it did not help them], like the Israeli people were ashamed because their gold statue of a calf [was smashed] at Bethel.
Moab akan kecewa terhadap Kamos, dewa mereka, sama seperti orang Israel kecewa terhadap Betel yang mereka andalkan itu.
14 [The soldiers of Moab previously] said, “We are warriors; we have fought bravely in battles!”
Bagaimana dapat laki-laki Moab berani berkata, 'Kami pahlawan, prajurit perkasa yang telah diuji dalam peperangan?'
15 But now our King, who is Yahweh, who is called ‘the Commander of the armies of angels’, says that [the country of] Moab and all the towns in it will be destroyed. Their fine young men will [all] be slaughtered.
Moab dan kota-kotanya telah dihancurkan, dan orang-orang mudanya yang terbaik telah dibunuh. Aku telah berbicara. Aku raja, TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa.
16 Moab will very soon be destroyed. It will soon experience disaster.
Malapetaka untuk Moab sudah diambang pintu, tak lama lagi ia hancur.
17 You [people who live in nations] near Moab, who know that it is very famous, should mourn for Moab, and say, “Its glorious power [MTY, DOU] is [completely] ended/broken.”
Hai kamu negara-negara tetangga Moab yang tahu tentang kemasyhurannya, berkabunglah untuk dia! Katakan, 'Moab tidak lagi berkuasa, kebesaran dan kekuatannya sudah lenyap!'
18 You people of Dibon [city], stop being proud because of being honored, and sit in the dust/dirt, because those who will destroy other places in Moab will attack your [city] and destroy your high walls.
Hai penduduk Dibon, turunlah dari tempatmu yang terhormat; duduklah di tanah dan di atas debu. Karena yang merusak Moab negerimu telah tiba, dan akan menghancurkan semua bentengmu.
19 You people of Aroer [town], stand along the road and watch. Shout to the men and women who will be fleeing [from Moab], “What has happened [there]?”
Kamu yang tinggal di Aroer, berdirilah di tepi jalan dan perhatikan! Tanyakanlah kepada mereka yang melarikan diri, dan lolos, 'Apakah yang telah terjadi?'
20 [They will reply], “Moab is ruined and [we are] disgraced!” [So] weep and wail [DOU]. Proclaim at the Aroer [River] that Moab has been destroyed.
Mereka akan menjawab, 'Moab sudah jatuh dan menjadi hina, karena itu tangisilah dia. Umumkan di sepanjang Sungai Arnon bahwa Moab sudah hancur.'"
21 [Yahweh] will have punished [the towns in Moab that are on] the (plateau/high level): Holon and Jahaz and Mephaath,
"Hukuman telah dijatuhkan ke atas kota-kota di daerah dataran tinggi: atas Holon, Yahas, Mefaat,
22 Dibon and Nebo and Beth-Diblathaim,
Dibon, Nebo, Bet-Diblataim,
23 Kiriathaim and Beth-Gamul and Beth-Meon,
Kiryataim, Bet-Gamul, Bet-Meon,
24 Kerioth and Bozrah, cities that are near [each other] and towns that are far away [from each other].
Keriot, dan Bozra. Semua kota Moab, jauh dan dekat, telah dihukum.
25 Yahweh says, “The power [MTY] of Moab will be ended; [it is as though] [MET] Moab will have a broken arm.
Kekuatan Moab telah dipatahkan, dan kekuasaannya dihancurkan. Aku, TUHAN, telah berbicara."
26 [You people of] Moab have rebelled against [me, ] Yahweh; so [now] I will cause you all to [stagger like] [SIM] drunken people. [You people of] will wallow in your own vomit and be ridiculed.
TUHAN berkata, "Buatlah Moab menjadi mabuk, karena ia menyombongkan diri terhadap Aku. Ia akan berguling-guling dalam muntahnya, dan ditertawakan orang.
27 You [people of Moab] ridiculed [the people of] Israel [RHQ]. You treated them as though they were thieves [RHQ]. You shook your head at them scornfully and despised them [RHQ].
Bukankah dahulu orang Israel telah ditertawakan oleh Moab dan dipergunjingkan seolah-olah mereka telah tertangkap basah bersama pencuri-pencuri?
28 You people who live in Moab, you should abandon your towns and go and live in caves. Be like [SIM] doves that make their nests in the entrances of caves.”
Kamu penduduk Moab, tinggalkanlah kota-kotamu dan diamlah di bukit batu seperti burung merpati membuat sarangnya di tebing jurang.
29 We have [all] heard that [the people of] are very proud; they are extremely proud and conceited/arrogant. [IDM, DOU]
Kamu angkuh sekali! Aku sudah mendengar betapa sombong, tinggi hati, congkak, dan pongahnya kamu!
30 But Yahweh says, “I know about that, but it is useless for them to boast [because] it will accomplish nothing.
Aku, TUHAN, tahu keangkuhanmu. Bicaramu kosong belaka, dan perbuatanmu tidak berarti.
31 So [now] I will wail for Moab; I will cry about all its people. I will moan for the men of Kir-Hareseth [city], [the old capital of Moab].
Sebab itu Aku akan menangis keras-keras untuk kamu semua dan untuk orang-orang di Kir-Heres, ibukotamu.
32 You people of Sibmah [city], you have many vineyards. [It is as though] the branches of your vines extend across the [Dead] Sea to Jazer [city].
Aku akan lebih menangisi penduduk Sibma daripada penduduk Yaezer. Kota Sibma seperti tanaman anggur yang carang-carangnya merambat sampai ke seberang Laut Mati sejauh Yaezer. Tapi sekarang buah-buah musim panasnya dan buah anggurnya sudah dimusnahkan.
33 But no one will be joyful or happy in Moab now; your fruit and grapes that ripen in the (summer/hot season) will soon be destroyed. There will be no grape juice coming from the winepresses, [so] there will be no wine. People will not shout joyfully as they tread on the grapes; people will shout, but they will not be shouting joyfully.
Sorak-sorai keriangan sudah lenyap dari negeri Moab yang subur. Aku membuat air anggur berhenti mengalir dari alat pemeras anggur; tak ada lagi orang yang membuat anggur dan bersorak gembira.
34 Instead, the sound of their wailing will rise from Heshbon [city] to Elealeh [town] and Jahaz [village], from Zoar [city] as far as Horonaim [town] and Eglath-Shelishiyah [village]. Even the water in Nimrim [Stream] will be dried up.
Orang di Hesybon dan Eleale menangis dan tangisnya terdengar sampai ke Yahas, dan terdengar juga oleh orang-orang dari Zoar sampai ke Horonaim dan Eglat-Selisia. Mereka menangis karena air di anak Sungai Nimrim pun sudah kering.
35 [I, ] Yahweh, say that I will get rid of the people who offer sacrifices on the hilltops, and burn incense to their gods.
Aku akan membuat orang Moab berhenti membakar kurban pada tempat-tempat penyembahan mereka dan berhenti mempersembahkan kurban kepada dewa-dewa mereka. Aku, TUHAN, telah berbicara.
36 I [SYN] moan for the people of Moab and Kir-Hareseth like [SIM] [someone playing a funeral song on] a flute, because [all] their wealth will disappear.
Semua kekayaan Kir-Heres dan seluruh Moab sudah lenyap. Aku sedih melihat keadaan mereka itu; Aku seperti orang yang meniup lagu duka pada seruling.
37 The men will shave their heads and their beards [to show that they are mourning]. They all will slash their hands and wear (rough cloth/sackcloth) around their waists.
Mereka semua sudah mencukur rambut kepala dan janggut, melukai lengan, dan memakai kain karung tanda sedih.
38 In every home and in the town plazas/centers in Moab there will be [people who are] mourning, because I will have destroyed Moab like [SIM] someone smashes an [old] jar that no one wants [any more].
Di atas semua sotoh rumah dan di tanah-tanah lapang hanya terdengar tangisan. Sebab Moab telah Kupecahkan seperti tempayan yang tak disukai.
39 Moab will be completely shattered! And you will hear the people wailing loudly! They will be disgraced. Moab will become a nation that people ridicule. The people in nearby [countries] will be horrified [about what has happened there].
Moab telah hancur lebur! Betapa malunya Moab! Ia menangis karena telah dihina dan menjadi tertawaan bangsa-bangsa di sekelilingnya. Aku, TUHAN, telah berbicara."
40 This is what [I, ] Yahweh, say: ‘Look! Their enemies will be swooping/rushing down over Moab like an eagle [SIM] swoops down [to seize an animal].
TUHAN berkata, "Seperti burung rajawali menyambar dengan sayap terkembang, demikianlah sebuah bangsa akan datang dan menyambar Moab.
41 Its cities will be captured, its fortresses will be seized. [Even] their warriors will be [afraid], like [SIM] a woman who is about to give birth.
Kota-kota dan benteng-bentengnya akan direbut dan tentaranya akan ketakutan seperti wanita yang mau melahirkan.
42 [The leaders of] Moab boasted against [me, ] Yahweh, so Moab will be destroyed.
Moab akan hancur dan tidak lagi merupakan sebuah bangsa, karena mereka menyombongkan diri terhadap Aku.
43 [I, ] Yahweh, say that you people of Moab will be terrified, and fall into pits and traps.
Mereka dihadapkan dengan teror, lubang dan jerat.
44 Those who are terrified and try to run away will fall into deep pits. Whoever climbs out of a pit will be caught in a trap, because I will punish them at the time that I have chosen.’
Orang yang melarikan diri dari teror akan jatuh ke dalam lubang, dan yang keluar dari lubang itu akan tertangkap dalam jerat. Semua itu akan terjadi pada saat yang telah Kutetapkan untuk menghancurkan Moab.
45 The people will flee as far as Heshbon [city], but they will not be able to go any further, because a fire will burn in Heshbon, [which is the city] where [King] Sihon lived [long ago], and it will burn up all the people [SYN] in Moab who noisily/loudly boasted very much.
Kaum pengungsi yang tak berdaya pergi mencari perlindungan ke Hesybon, tapi kota itu sedang terbakar dan istana Raja Sihon pun sedang dimakan api. Api telah memusnahkan daerah perbatasan dan pegunungan Moab, negeri orang-orang yang suka berperang.
46 [You people of] Moab, terrible things will happen to you! You people who worship [your god] Chemosh, you will be destroyed. Your sons and your daughters will be captured and taken away [to other countries].
Celakalah Moab! Penduduknya yang menyembah Dewa Kamos telah dibinasakan, dan anak-anak mereka diangkut sebagai tawanan.
47 But some day, I will enable the people of Moab to return to their land again. [That will surely happen because I, ] Yahweh, have said it.” That is the end of what I prophesied about Moab.
Tapi di kemudian hari Aku akan memulihkan keadaan negeri Moab. Aku, TUHAN, telah berbicara!" Itulah yang akan dilakukan TUHAN terhadap Moab.
