< Jeremiah 36 >

1 In the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
Pada tahun keempat setelah Yoyakim anak Yosia menjadi raja Yehuda, TUHAN berkata kepadaku,
2 “Take a scroll of a book, and write in it all the words that I have spoken to you against Israel, against Judah, and against all the nations, from the day I spoke to you, from the days of Josiah even to this day.
"Ambillah sebuah buku gulungan, dan tulislah di situ semua yang telah Kukatakan kepadamu tentang Israel dan Yehuda, dan tentang segala bangsa. Tulislah semua perkataan-Ku sejak Aku pertama kali berbicara kepadamu pada masa pemerintahan Raja Yosia sampai hari ini.
3 It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I intend to do to them, that they may each return from his evil way; that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin.”
Barangkali orang Yehuda akan berhenti berbuat jahat apabila mereka mendengar tentang semua bencana yang akan Kutimpakan ke atas mereka. Maka Aku akan mengampuni dosa dan kejahatan mereka."
4 Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah; and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the LORD’s words, which he had spoken to him, on a scroll of a book.
Karena itu aku memanggil Barukh anak Neria dan mendiktekan kepadanya semua yang dikatakan TUHAN kepadaku. Maka Barukh menulis semuanya pada buku gulungan itu.
5 Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, “I am restricted. I cannot go into the LORD’s house.
Kemudian aku memberi perintah ini kepadanya, "Aku tidak diizinkan lagi memasuki Rumah TUHAN.
6 Therefore you go, and read from the scroll which you have written from my mouth, the LORD’s words, in the ears of the people in the LORD’s house on the fast day. Also you shall read them in the ears of all Judah who come out of their cities.
Karena itu, apabila tiba harinya orang berpuasa, engkau harus pergi ke sana, dan membacakan dengan suara keras semua yang telah kudiktekan kepadamu, supaya mereka mendengar semua yang dikatakan TUHAN kepadaku. Lakukanlah itu di tempat yang memungkinkan engkau dapat didengar oleh setiap orang yang berada di Rumah TUHAN, termasuk orang Yehuda yang datang dari kota-kota mereka.
7 It may be they will present their supplication before the LORD, and will each return from his evil way; for the LORD has pronounced great anger and wrath against this people.”
Barangkali karena itu mereka akan berdoa kepada TUHAN, dan bertobat dari perbuatan-perbuatan mereka yang jahat. TUHAN marah sekali kepada mereka dan mengancam mereka."
8 Baruch the son of Neriah did according to all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, reading in the book the LORD’s words in the LORD’s house.
Maka Barukh membacakan perkataan TUHAN di Rumah TUHAN, seperti yang kutugaskan kepadanya.
9 Now in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, in the ninth month, all the people in Jerusalem and all the people who came from the cities of Judah to Jerusalem, proclaimed a fast before the LORD.
Pada bulan sembilan tahun kelima pemerintahan Yoyakim raja Yehuda, rakyat berpuasa untuk memperoleh belas kasihan dari TUHAN. Penduduk Yerusalem dan orang-orang yang datang dari kota-kota Yehuda, semuanya berpuasa.
10 Then Baruch read the words of Jeremiah from the book in the LORD’s house, in the room of Gemariah the son of Shaphan the scribe, in the upper court, at the entry of the new gate of the LORD’s house, in the ears of all the people.
Lalu Barukh membacakan dari buku gulungan itu segala sesuatu yang telah kukatakan, dan semua orang mendengarkan. Pembacaan itu dilakukan di dalam Rumah TUHAN di kantor Gemarya, anak Safan sekretaris negara. Kantor itu terletak di pelataran sebelah atas, dekat jalan masuk ke Pintu Gerbang Baru di Rumah TUHAN.
11 When Micaiah the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, had heard out of the book all the LORD’s words,
Mikhaya anak Gemarya dan cucu Safan mendengar Barukh membacakan perkataan TUHAN dari buku gulungan itu.
12 he went down into the king’s house, into the scribe’s room; and behold, all the princes were sitting there, Elishama the scribe, Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, Elnathan the son of Achbor, Gemariah the son of Shaphan, Zedekiah the son of Hananiah, and all the princes.
Lalu ia pergi ke istana, ke kantor sekretaris negara. Di situ semua pejabat sedang berapat. Delaya anak Semaya, Elnatan anak Akhbor, Gemarya anak Safan, Zedekia anak Hananya, Elisama seorang sekretaris, dan pejabat-pejabat lainnya ada di situ.
13 Then Micaiah declared to them all the words that he had heard, when Baruch read the book in the ears of the people.
Mikhaya memberitahukan kepada mereka, semua yang dibacakan Barukh di Rumah TUHAN.
14 Therefore all the princes sent Jehudi the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, to Baruch, saying, “Take in your hand the scroll in which you have read in the ears of the people, and come.” So Baruch the son of Neriah took the scroll in his hand, and came to them.
Lalu para pejabat itu mengutus Yehudi (yaitu anak Netanya, cucu Selemya, dan buyut Kusyi) kepada Barukh dengan perintah untuk datang dan membawa kepada mereka buku gulungan yang telah dibacakannya itu. Maka Barukh membawa buku itu.
15 They said to him, “Sit down now, and read it in our hearing.” So Baruch read it in their hearing.
"Silakan duduk," kata mereka, "bacakanlah buku gulungan itu kepada kami." Barukh pun menurut.
16 Now when they had heard all the words, they turned in fear one toward another, and said to Baruch, “We will surely tell the king of all these words.”
Setelah ia selesai membaca, mereka saling memandang dengan perasaan cemas lalu berkata kepada Barukh, "Kami harus melaporkan hal ini kepada raja."
17 They asked Baruch, saying, “Tell us now, how did you write all these words at his mouth?”
Kemudian mereka bertanya, "Coba beritahukan kepada kami bagaimana engkau menulis semuanya ini. Apakah Yeremia yang mendiktekannya kepadamu?"
18 Then Baruch answered them, “He dictated all these words to me with his mouth, and I wrote them with ink in the book.”
"Betul, setiap kata yang tertulis di sini telah didiktekan oleh Yeremia kepadaku, dan aku menulisnya dengan tinta pada buku gulungan ini," jawab Barukh.
19 Then the princes said to Baruch, “You and Jeremiah go hide. Do not let anyone know where you are.”
"Engkau dan Yeremia harus bersembunyi. Jangan sampai orang tahu tempat persembunyianmu itu," kata mereka.
20 They went in to the king into the court, but they had laid up the scroll in the room of Elishama the scribe. Then they told all the words in the hearing of the king.
Para pejabat itu menaruh buku gulungan itu di kamar Elisama, sekretaris itu, kemudian pergi kepada raja dan melaporkan semuanya.
21 So the king sent Jehudi to get the scroll, and he took it out of the room of Elishama the scribe. Jehudi read it in the hearing of the king, and in the hearing of all the princes who stood beside the king.
Lalu raja menyuruh Yehudi pergi untuk mengambil buku gulungan itu. Setelah mengambilnya dari kamar Elisama, Yehudi membacakannya kepada raja dan kepada semua pejabat yang sedang berdiri di sekelilingnya.
22 Now the king was sitting in the winter house in the ninth month, and there was a fire in the brazier burning before him.
Waktu itu bulan sembilan, dan raja sedang duduk di depan perapian di istana musim dinginnya.
23 When Jehudi had read three or four columns, the king cut it with the penknife, and cast it into the fire that was in the brazier, until all the scroll was consumed in the fire that was in the brazier.
Begitu Yehudi selesai membaca tiga atau empat lajur, raja memotong bagian itu dengan sebilah pisau kecil dan melemparkannya ke dalam api. Demikianlah dilakukannya terus sampai seluruh buku gulungan itu terbakar habis.
24 The king and his servants who heard all these words were not afraid, and did not tear their garments.
Sekalipun Elnatan, Delaya, dan Gemarya memohon dengan sangat supaya raja jangan membakar buku gulungan itu, namun ia tidak mau mendengarkan mereka. Baik raja maupun para pejabat yang mendengar isi buku itu tidak menjadi takut atau menunjukkan penyesalan.
25 Moreover Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah had made intercession to the king that he would not burn the scroll; but he would not listen to them.
26 The king commanded Jerahmeel the king’s son, and Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel, to arrest Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet; but the LORD hid them.
Raja malah memerintahkan putranya, yaitu Yerahmeel, bersama dengan Seraya anak Azriel dan Selemya anak Abdeel, supaya menangkap aku dan Barukh sekretarisku. Tetapi TUHAN menyembunyikan kami.
27 Then the LORD’s word came to Jeremiah, after the king had burned the scroll, and the words which Baruch wrote at the mouth of Jeremiah, saying,
Setelah Raja Yoyakim membakar buku gulungan yang kudiktekan kepada Barukh itu, TUHAN menyuruh aku
28 “Take again another scroll, and write in it all the former words that were in the first scroll, which Jehoiakim the king of Judah has burned.
mengambil buku gulungan yang lain, dan menulis semua yang telah tertulis pada buku gulungan yang pertama itu.
29 Concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah you shall say, ‘The LORD says: “You have burned this scroll, saying, ‘Why have you written therein, saying, “The king of Babylon will certainly come and destroy this land, and will cause to cease from there man and animal”?’”
TUHAN menyuruh aku mengatakan begini kepada raja, "Engkau sudah membakar buku gulungan itu, dan engkau bertanya kepada Yeremia mengapa ia menulis bahwa raja Babel akan datang dan menghancurkan negeri ini serta membunuh penduduknya bersama binatang-binatangnya.
30 Therefore the LORD says concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah: “He will have no one to sit on David’s throne. His dead body will be cast out in the day to the heat, and in the night to the frost.
Sebab itu, Aku, TUHAN, berkata kepadamu, hai Raja Yoyakim, bahwa tidak seorang pun dari keturunanmu akan memerintah sebagai raja keturunan Daud. Mayatmu akan dilempar ke luar, tertimpa panas di waktu siang, dan embun dingin di waktu malam.
31 I will punish him, his offspring, and his servants for their iniquity. I will bring on them, on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and on the men of Judah, all the evil that I have pronounced against them, but they did not listen.”’”
Engkau, keturunanmu, dan para pejabatmu akan Kuhukum karena dosa-dosa yang kamu lakukan. Aku akan mendatangkan ke atas kamu semua bencana yang telah Kuancamkan kepadamu, karena baik engkau maupun penduduk Yerusalem dan Yehuda tidak memperhatikan ancaman-ancaman-Ku."
32 Then Jeremiah took another scroll, and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah, who wrote therein from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire; and many similar words were added to them.
Maka aku mengambil buku gulungan yang baru, dan memberikannya kepada Barukh sekretarisku. Lalu ia menuliskan semua yang kudiktekan kepadanya, yaitu isi buku gulungan yang pertama ditambah beberapa pesan lain semacam itu.
