Yeremia 39
1 Pada bulan sepuluh tahun kesembilan pemerintahan Zedekia raja Yehuda, Nebukadnezar raja Babel dengan seluruh angkatan perangnya datang dan menyerang Yerusalem.
It happened when Jerusalem was taken, (in the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and all his army against Jerusalem, and besieged it;
2 Pada tanggal sembilan bulan empat tahun kesebelas pemerintahan Raja Zedekia, tembok kota didobrak musuh,
in the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, the ninth day of the month, a breach was made in the city).
3 dan Yerusalem direbut. Maka semua pejabat-pejabat raja Babel datang dan pergi duduk di Pintu Gerbang Tengah. Di antara mereka terdapat Nergal Sarezer, Samgar Nebo, Sarsekim kepala rumah tangga istana, Nergal Sarezer Rabmag dan perwira-perwira lain.
Then all the officials of the king of Babylon came in, and sat in the Middle Gate, Nergal-sar-ezer of Samgar, Nebu-sar-sekim the Rab-saris, Nergal-sar-ezer the Rab-mag, with all the rest of the officers of the king of Babylon.
4 Ketika Raja Zedekia dan seluruh tentaranya melihat semua kejadian itu, mereka berusaha melarikan diri menuju Lembah Yordan malam itu juga. Mereka mengambil jalan lewat taman istana, lalu keluar melalui pintu gerbang yang menghubungi kedua tembok di tempat itu.
It happened that, when Zedekiah the king of Judah and all the men of war saw them, then they fled, and went forth out of the city by night, by the way of the king's garden, through the gate between the two walls; and he went out toward the Arabah.
5 Tapi tentara Babel mengejar mereka dan menangkap Zedekia di dataran Yerikho. Kemudian ia dibawa kepada Raja Nebukadnezar di kota Ribla di daerah Hamat, lalu dijatuhi hukuman mati.
But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after them, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho: and when they had taken him, they brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; and he gave judgment on him.
6 Di kota itu juga anak-anaknya dibunuh di depan matanya, dan semua pejabat pemerintah Yehuda pun dibunuh.
Then the king of Babylon killed the sons of Zedekiah in Riblah before his eyes: also the king of Babylon killed all the nobles of Judah.
7 Setelah itu Zedekia dicungkil matanya, lalu dibelenggu dan dibawa ke Babel.
Moreover he put out Zedekiah's eyes, and bound him in fetters, to carry him to Babylon.
8 Sementara itu orang-orang Babel membakar istana raja dan rumah-rumah rakyat, serta meruntuhkan tembok-tembok Yerusalem.
The Chaldeans burned the king's house, and the houses of the people, with fire, and broke down the walls of Jerusalem.
9 Akhirnya rakyat yang masih ada di kota, bersama orang-orang yang telah lari ke pihak orang Babel, diangkut ke Babel oleh Nebuzaradan, komandan pasukan Babel.
Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive into Babylon the residue of the people who remained in the city, the deserters also who fell away to him, and the residue of the people who remained.
10 Sebagian dari rakyat yang paling miskin dan tak punya harta, ditinggalkannya di Yehuda serta diberi kebun anggur dan ladang.
But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poor of the people, who had nothing, in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and fields at the same time.
11 Raja Nebukadnezar telah menyuruh Nebuzaradan, komandan pasukannya, mengeluarkan perintah berikut ini.
Now Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon commanded Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard concerning Jeremiah, saying,
12 "Pergilah mencari Yeremia, dan jagalah dia baik-baik. Jangan apa-apakan dia; lakukanlah apa yang dimintanya."
"Take him, and look well to him, and do him no harm; but do to him even as he shall tell you."
13 Maka Nebuzaradan bersama-sama dengan kedua perwira tingginya, Nebusyazban dan Nergal-Sarezer serta semua perwira Babel lainnya,
So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard sent, and Nebushazban the Rab-saris, Nergal-sar-ezer the Rab-mag and all the chief officers of the king of Babylon;
14 mengambil aku dari pelataran istana. Lalu aku diserahkan kepada Gedalya anak Ahikam dan cucu Safan, yang harus mengantarkan aku pulang dengan selamat. Maka tinggallah aku di antara rakyat.
they sent, and took Jeremiah out of the court of the guard, and committed him to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, that he should carry him home: so he lived among the people.
15 Ketika aku masih dipenjarakan di pelataran istana, TUHAN menyuruh aku
Now the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, while he was shut up in the court of the guard, saying,
16 mengatakan kepada Ebed-Melekh orang Sudan itu bahwa TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa, Allah Israel, berkata begini, "Seperti yang Kukatakan dahulu, Aku akan mendatangkan ke atas kota ini bencana, dan bukan kemakmuran. Engkau akan melihat hal itu terjadi.
"Go, and speak to Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, saying, 'Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: "Look, I will bring my words on this city for disaster, and not for prosperity; and they shall be fulfilled before you in that day.
17 Tetapi Aku, TUHAN, akan melindungimu. Engkau tidak akan diserahkan kepada orang-orang yang kautakuti.
But I will deliver you in that day, says the LORD; and you shall not be given into the hand of the men of whom you are afraid.
18 Engkau tidak akan dibunuh, sebab Aku akan menyelamatkan engkau. Nyawamu akan selamat karena engkau bersandar kepada-Ku. Aku, TUHAN, yang berbicara."
For I will surely save you, and you shall not fall by the sword, but your life will be given to you as a reward; because you have put your trust in me,"' says the LORD."
