Yeremia 30
1 TUHAN, Allah Israel,
Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
2 berkata kepadaku, "Tulislah dalam sebuah buku semua yang telah Kukatakan kepadamu.
“[I], Yahweh, the God whom the Israeli people [say they belong to], am telling you that you should write down everything that 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."
[I want you to know that] some day I will free my people, [the people of] Israel and Judah, from being slaves [in Babylon]. I will bring them back to this land that I gave to their ancestors, and this land will belong to them again. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.”
4 TUHAN berkata kepada umat Israel dan Yehuda,
Yahweh gave [to me] another message concerning [the people of] Israel and Judah.
5 "Aku telah mendengar jeritan orang yang gentar, jeritan orang ketakutan yang tidak mempunyai kedamaian.
This is what he said: “I hear people screaming because they are terrified [DOU]; there is no peace [in the land].
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?
But think about this: Men certainly do not [RHQ] give birth to babies. Therefore, why do strong men stand there, with their faces very white/pale, with their hands pressed against their stomachs, like women who are about to give birth to babies?
7 Hari dahsyat telah tiba, hari yang tak ada taranya. Bagi umat-Ku, itu hari yang mencemaskan; tapi mereka akan Kuselamatkan."
[Terrible things will soon happen]; that will be a terrible day! There has never been such a time. It will be a time when [my] Israeli people will experience great trouble, but [finally] they will be saved [from their sufferings].”
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.
The Commander of the armies of angels says this: “At that time [it will be as though] I will sever/cut the ropes [that are around my people], and I will free them from being (slaves/forced to do what the King of Babylon wants them to do) [MET]. People in other countries will no longer be their bosses.
9 Kamu akan mengabdi kepada-Ku, TUHAN Allahmu, dan kepada seorang keturunan Daud yang akan Kuangkat sebagai raja.
My people will [again] serve me, Yahweh, their God, and [they will serve a king who is a descendant of] King David; [they will serve the king] whom I will appoint for 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, [you people of] Israel who serve me, do not be dismayed/worried [now], because [some day] I will bring you back from distant places; I will bring your descendants [back home] from the land to which they were exiled. [Then you] Israeli people will [again] live peacefully and safely, and there will not be any [nation] that will cause you to be terrified.
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."
I, Yahweh, say that I will be with you and will rescue you; I will completely destroy the nations to which I have scattered you. But I will not completely destroy you. I will punish you [for your many sins], but I will punish you [only] as severely as you deserve: I would be doing wrong if I did not punish you at all.”
12 TUHAN berkata kepada umat-Nya: "Penyakitmu sangat parah, bagi lukamu tak ada obatnya.
Yahweh [also] says this: “[You have (suffered very much/endured many disasters)]; [it is as though] you have a terrible wound that cannot be cured.
13 Tak seorang pun sudi memperjuangkan kesembuhanmu, tiada obat untuk bisul-bisulmu, tiada harapan bagimu untuk sembuh.
There is no one to help you, no one to put a bandage on your wound. There is no [medicine that will] heal you.
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.
All your allies [MET] have deserted you and they do not want to help you [any more]. [It is true that] I have punished you severely, [like your] enemies would wound you, because you have committed many sins and you are very guilty.
15 Janganlah lagi mengeluh mengenai luka-lukamu, sebab bagimu tak ada harapan sembuh. Kamu Kuhukum begitu karena banyaklah dosamu dan besar kesalahanmu.
[Because that is true], why do you protest about my punishing you, [as though I had caused] a wound that could not be cured [RHQ]? It was necessary for me to punish you, because you had committed many sins and you were very guilty.
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.
But [some day] all those who [are trying to] destroy you will be destroyed; all your enemies will be exiled [to other nations]. All those who have stolen things from you will have their [valuable] possessions stolen, and all those who attack you will be attacked.
17 Sekalipun musuhmu berkata, 'Sion telah dibuang, dan tak ada yang memperhatikan,' namun kamu akan Kubuat sehat kembali, dan luka-lukamu akan kuobati."
[Everyone] says that you are (outcasts/people that they no longer associate with), and that [you live in] Jerusalem, a city that no one cares about.” But Yahweh says, “I will heal your injuries/wounds and cause you to be healthy again.”
18 TUHAN berkata lagi: "Kamu, umat-Ku akan Kukasihani dan Kupulihkan keadaanmu di tanah airmu sendiri. Yerusalem akan dibangun lagi, dan istananya diperbaiki.
This is what Yahweh says: “I will bring the people of Israel back from the lands to which they were taken and enable them to possess their land and their houses again. [When that happens], Jerusalem will be rebuilt on top of its ruins, and the [king’s] palace will be rebuilt to be like it was before.
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.
People will [again] sing joyfully to thank [me], and I will cause there to be more people [in Jerusalem], not fewer; I will cause them to be honored, not despised.
20 Bangsamu akan Kujadikan jaya seperti dahulu, dan berdiri lagi sebagai umat-Ku. Semua yang menindasnya akan Kuhukum juga.
Their children will [prosper] like they did before. I will cause them to be a group of people [who worship] me, and I will punish any [nation] that oppresses 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."
One of their own people will be their king, and I will invite him to come close to me [to worship me], because no one [RHQ] would (dare/have courage) to come close to me [if I did not invite him].
You [Israeli people] 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.
Yahweh will punish [MTY] [your enemies]; [it will be like a great] storm; it will come down [like] a whirlwind, swirling around the heads of wicked people.
He will not stop being angry until he completely accomplishes [all] that he has planned. In the future, you will understand [all] of this [clearly].
