Yeremia 20
1 Imam Pasyhur anak Imer adalah kepala pengawas Rumah TUHAN. Ketika ia mendengar aku mengumumkan semua hal itu,
But when Pashchur the son of Immer the priest, who was chief superintendent in the house of the Lord, heard Jeremiah prophesying these words:
2 ia memerintahkan supaya aku dipukul dan dipasung di Pintu Gerbang Benyamin, gerbang bagian atas di Rumah TUHAN.
Then smote Pashchur Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that were in the upper gate of Benjamin, which was in the house of the Lord.
3 Pagi berikutnya setelah Pasyhur melepaskan aku dari pasungan, aku berkata kepadanya, "Nama yang akan diberikan TUHAN kepadamu bukan Pasyhur, tetapi 'Teror di mana-mana'.
And it came to pass on the morrow, that Pashchur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks. And Jeremiah said unto him, Not Pashchur [Fulness of Freedom] hath the Lord called thy name, but Magor-missabib [[Terror all around]].
4 TUHAN sendiri berkata, 'Engkau akan Kujadikan teror bagi dirimu sendiri dan bagi kawan-kawanmu. Kau akan melihat mereka dibunuh oleh musuh mereka. Semua orang Yehuda akan Kubiarkan dikuasai oleh raja Babel; sebagian dari mereka akan diangkutnya sebagai tawanan ke Babel, dan sisanya akan dibunuh.
For thus hath said the Lord, Behold, I will make thee a terror to thyself, and to all thy friends; and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and thy eyes shall see it; and all Judah will I give into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall lead them into exile to Babylon, and shall smite them with the sword.
5 Musuh mereka akan Kubiarkan juga menjarahi dan mengangkut ke Babel semua kekayaan kota ini, serta semua harta miliknya, bahkan barang-barang pusaka raja-raja Yehuda.
And I will give up all the wealth of this city, and all its acquisitions, and all its precious things; and all the treasures of the kings of Judah will I give into the hand of their enemies, who shall plunder them, and take them and carry them away to Babylon.
6 Dan engkau, Pasyhur, bersama seluruh keluargamu juga akan ditangkap dan diangkut ke Babel. Di sana engkau akan mati dan dikuburkan; begitu pula semua kawanmu yang telah mendengarkan kebohongan-kebohonganmu.'"
And thou, Pashchur, and all the inhabitants of thy house, shall go into captivity; and to Babylon shalt thou come, and there thou shalt die, and there shalt thou be buried, thou, and all thy friends, to whom thou hast prophesied with falsehood.
7 TUHAN, Engkau membujuk aku dan aku telah terbujuk. Engkau lebih kuat dari aku dan telah menundukkan aku. Aku diolok setiap orang, dihina dari pagi sampai petang.
Thou didst persuade me, O Lord, and I was persuaded; thou laidst thy [hand] strongly on me, and didst prevail: I am laughed at all the time, every one mocketh me.
8 Setiap kali aku berbicara, aku harus berteriak sekuat tenaga, "Kekejaman! Bencana!" TUHAN, aku diejek dan dihina setiap waktu, karena menyampaikan pesan-Mu.
For as often as I speak must I cry out, violence and wasting must I proclaim; because the word of the Lord is become unto me a disgrace, and a derision, all the time.
9 Tapi bila dalam hatiku aku berkata, "Biarlah TUHAN kulupakan saja, tak mau lagi aku berbicara atas nama-Nya," maka pesan-Mu bagaikan api yang membara di hati sanubari. Telah kucoba menahannya, tapi ternyata aku tak kuasa.
And I thought, I will not make mention of him, and I will not speak any more in his name. But it became in my heart as a burning fire enclosed within my bones, and I was weary with enduring, and I could not overcome it.
10 Terdengar orang berbisik di mana-mana, "Ketakutan merajalela! Mari laporkan dia kepada yang berkuasa!" Bahkan semua sahabat karibku menantikan kejatuhanku. Kata mereka, "Barangkali dengan bujukan, ia dapat kita kalahkan, supaya dapatlah kita membalas dendam kepadanya."
For I heard the defaming of many, angry assemblies on every side, “Tell, and we will tell of him.” All the men who ought to seek my welfare, watch for my fall; saying, “Peradventure he may he enticed, and we shall prevail against him, and we will then take our revenge on him.”
11 Tetapi Engkau, ya TUHAN, di pihakku; Engkau sangat kuat lagi perkasa. Mereka yang mengejar dan menindas aku akan jatuh dan tak berdaya. Mereka akan malu selamanya, gagallah semua rencana mereka. Kehinaan mereka itu akan diingat selalu.
But the Lord is with me as a mighty powerful one; therefore my persecutors will stumble, and they will not prevail: they will be greatly ashamed, for they will not prosper; [it is] an everlasting confusion which will never be forgotten.
12 Tetapi, ya TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa, dengan adil Kauuji manusia; Kau tahu hati dan pikiran mereka. Karena itu perkenankanlah aku melihat Engkau membalas kejahatan musuh sebab kepada-Mu kuserahkan perkaraku.
But, O Lord of hosts, that probest the righteous, seest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them; for unto thee have I laid open my cause.
13 Menyanyilah bagi TUHAN dan pujilah Dia sebab Ia melepaskan orang tertekan dari kuasa orang durhaka.
Sing unto the Lord, praise ye the Lord; for he hath delivered the soul of the needy from the hand of evil-doers.
14 Terkutuklah hari kelahiranku! Biarlah terhina saat aku dilahirkan ibu.
Cursed be the day whereon I was born: the day on which my mother bore me shall not be blessed.
15 Terkutuklah juga pembawa berita yang membuat ayahku sangat gembira, ketika diberitahukan kepadanya, "Engkau mendapat seorang putra!"
Cursed be the man who brought tidings to my father, saying, A man-child is born unto thee. How very glad did he make him!
16 Biarlah si pembawa berita itu serupa kota-kota yang dihancurkan TUHAN tanpa iba. Biarlah ia mendengar jerit kesakitan di waktu pagi, dan pekik pertempuran di tengah hari.
And may that same man become like the cities which the Lord overthrew, and bethought himself not; and may he hear a cry of anguish in the morning, and a tumultuous noise at noontide;
17 Sebab ia tidak membunuh aku ketika aku masih dalam kandungan, supaya aku tetap dikandung ibuku dan rahimnya menjadi bagiku sebagai kuburan.
Because I was not slain [as I escaped] from the womb; or that my mother might have become unto me my grave, and her womb have been affected with a perpetual pregnancy.
18 Mengapa aku harus dilahirkan? Hanyakah untuk derita dan kesukaran? Dan supaya hidupku berlalu semata-mata dalam malu?
Wherefore was this that I came forth out of the womb to see trouble and sorrow, that my days should pass away in shame?
