Yeremia 30
1 TUHAN, Allah Israel,
The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,
2 berkata kepadaku, "Tulislah dalam sebuah buku semua yang telah Kukatakan kepadamu.
The Lord, the God of Israel, has said, Put down in a book all the words which I have said to you.
3 Sebab akan tiba waktunya Aku memulihkan keadaan umat-Ku Israel dan Yehuda. Aku akan membawa mereka kembali ke negeri yang telah Kuberikan kepada leluhur mereka. Negeri itu akan mereka miliki kembali. Aku, TUHAN, telah berbicara."
For see, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will let the fate of my people Israel and Judah be changed, says the Lord: and I will make them come back to the land which I gave to their fathers, so that they may take it for their heritage.
4 TUHAN berkata kepada umat Israel dan Yehuda,
And these are the words which the Lord said about Israel and about Judah.
5 "Aku telah mendengar jeritan orang yang gentar, jeritan orang ketakutan yang tidak mempunyai kedamaian.
This is what the Lord has said: A voice of shaking fear has come to our ears, of fear and not of peace.
6 Cobalah pikir dan selidiki! Mungkinkah laki-laki melahirkan bayi? Kalau begitu, mengapa Kulihat setiap laki-laki berwajah pucat pasi dan menahan perutnya dengan tangan seperti wanita yang hendak melahirkan?
Put the question and see if it is possible for a man to have birth-pains: why do I see every man with his hands gripping his sides, as a woman does when the pains of birth are on her, and all faces are turned green?
7 Hari dahsyat telah tiba, hari yang tak ada taranya. Bagi umat-Ku, itu hari yang mencemaskan; tapi mereka akan Kuselamatkan."
Ha! for that day is so great that there is no day like it: it is the time of Jacob's trouble: but he will get salvation from it.
8 TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa berkata lagi kepada umat-Nya, "Apabila tiba hari itu, gandar yang dikenakan pada tengkukmu akan Kupatahkan, dan belenggumu akan Kulepaskan. Kamu tidak akan menjadi budak orang asing lagi.
For it will come about on that day, says the Lord of armies, that his yoke will be broken off his neck, and his bands will be burst; and men of strange lands will no longer make use of him as their servant:
9 Kamu akan mengabdi kepada-Ku, TUHAN Allahmu, dan kepada seorang keturunan Daud yang akan Kuangkat sebagai raja.
But they will be servants to the Lord their God and to David their king, whom I will give back to them.
10 Umat-Ku Israel, janganlah takut! Hamba-Ku Yakub, jangan gentar! Kamu dan keturunanmu akan Kuselamatkan dari negeri jauh, tempat kamu ditawan. Kamu akan pulang dan tinggal di negerimu dengan aman. Kamu akan hidup dengan tentram; tak ada yang perlu kamu takutkan.
So have no fear, O Jacob, my servant, says the Lord; and do not be troubled, O Israel: for see, I will make you come back from far away, and your seed from the land where they are prisoners; and Jacob will come back, and will be quiet and at peace, and no one will give him cause for fear.
11 Aku akan datang dan kamu akan Kuselamatkan. Bangsa-bangsa, tempat kamu Kuceraiberaikan semuanya akan Kubinasakan, tapi kamu tidak Kuperlakukan demikian. Memang kamu tidak akan luput dari hukuman tetapi hukuman-Ku kepadamu adalah adil sesuai dengan ketentuan. Aku, TUHAN, telah berbicara."
For I am with you, says the Lord, to be your saviour: for I will put an end to all the nations where I have sent you wandering, but I will not put an end to you completely: though with wise purpose I will put right your errors, and will not let you go quite without punishment.
12 TUHAN berkata kepada umat-Nya: "Penyakitmu sangat parah, bagi lukamu tak ada obatnya.
For the Lord has said, Your disease may not be made well and your wound is bitter.
13 Tak seorang pun sudi memperjuangkan kesembuhanmu, tiada obat untuk bisul-bisulmu, tiada harapan bagimu untuk sembuh.
There is no help for your wound, there is nothing to make you well.
14 Semua kekasihmu telah lupa padamu; mereka tak mau lagi memikirkan dirimu. Seperti musuh Aku telah menyerang dan menghukum kamu dengan kejam, karena banyaklah dosamu dan besar kesalahanmu.
Your lovers have no more thought for you, they go after you no longer; for I have given you the wound of a hater, even cruel punishment;
15 Janganlah lagi mengeluh mengenai luka-lukamu, sebab bagimu tak ada harapan sembuh. Kamu Kuhukum begitu karena banyaklah dosamu dan besar kesalahanmu.
Why are you crying for help because of your wound? for your pain may never be taken away: because your evil-doing was so great and because your sins were increased, I have done these things to you.
16 Tapi sekarang semua yang menelanmu akan ditelan, dan semua musuhmu akan diangkut ke pembuangan. Aku akan menindas yang menindasmu, Aku akan merampok yang merampokmu.
For this cause, all those who take you for their food will themselves become your food; and all your attackers, every one of them, will be taken prisoners; and those who send destruction on you will come to destruction; and all those who take away your goods by force will undergo the same themselves.
17 Sekalipun musuhmu berkata, 'Sion telah dibuang, dan tak ada yang memperhatikan,' namun kamu akan Kubuat sehat kembali, dan luka-lukamu akan kuobati."
For I will make you healthy again and I will make you well from your wounds, says the Lord; because they have given you the name of an outlaw, saying, It is Zion cared for by no man.
18 TUHAN berkata lagi: "Kamu, umat-Ku akan Kukasihani dan Kupulihkan keadaanmu di tanah airmu sendiri. Yerusalem akan dibangun lagi, dan istananya diperbaiki.
The Lord has said, See, I am changing the fate of the tents of Jacob, and I will have pity on his houses; the town will be put up on its hill, and the great houses will be living-places again.
19 Penduduknya akan memuji Aku dengan nyanyian, dan bersorak-sorai dengan riang. Aku membuat mereka dihormati dan tidak lagi dihina, dan jumlah mereka akan terus bertambah.
And from them will go out praise and the sound of laughing: and I will make them great in number, and they will not become less; and I will give them glory, and they will not be small.
20 Bangsamu akan Kujadikan jaya seperti dahulu, dan berdiri lagi sebagai umat-Ku. Semua yang menindasnya akan Kuhukum juga.
And their children will be as they were in the old days, and the meeting of the people will have its place before me, and I will send punishment on all who are cruel to them.
21 Raja yang memerintah kamu berasal dari bangsamu. Dengan bebas ia akan mendekati Aku apabila ia Kupanggil menghadap-Ku. Sebab siapakah yang berani menghadap Aku atas kemauannya sendiri? Kamu akan menjadi umat-Ku dan Aku menjadi Allahmu. Aku, TUHAN yang mengatakan itu."
And their chief will be of their number; their ruler will come from among themselves; and I will let him be present before me, so that he may come near to me: for who may have strength of heart to come near me? says the Lord.
And you will be my people, and I will be your God.
23 Kemarahan TUHAN bagaikan badai, bagaikan angin ribut yang mengamuk menimpa orang-orang jahat, dan tak akan reda sebelum segala rencana-Nya terlaksana. Di kemudian hari umat-Nya akan memahami hal itu.
See, the storm-wind of the Lord, even the heat of his wrath, has gone out, a rolling storm, bursting on the heads of the evil-doers.
The wrath of the Lord will not be turned back till he has done, till he has put into effect, the purposes of his heart: in days to come you will have full knowledge of this.
