Jeremiah 20
1 And Pashhur, the son of Immer, the priest who had been appointed leader in the house of the Lord, heard Jeremiah prophesying these words.
Imam Pasyhur anak Imer adalah kepala pengawas Rumah TUHAN. Ketika ia mendengar aku mengumumkan semua hal itu,
2 And Pashhur struck the prophet Jeremiah, and he sent him to the stocks, which were at the upper gate of Benjamin at the house of the Lord.
ia memerintahkan supaya aku dipukul dan dipasung di Pintu Gerbang Benyamin, gerbang bagian atas di Rumah TUHAN.
3 And when it had become light on the next day, Pashhur led Jeremiah from the stocks. And Jeremiah said to him: “The Lord has not called your name: ‘Pashhur,’ but instead: ‘Fear all around.’”
Pagi berikutnya setelah Pasyhur melepaskan aku dari pasungan, aku berkata kepadanya, "Nama yang akan diberikan TUHAN kepadamu bukan Pasyhur, tetapi 'Teror di mana-mana'.
4 For thus says the Lord: “Behold, I will give you over to fear, you and all your friends, and they will fall by the sword of their enemies, and your eyes will see it. And I will give all of Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon. And he will lead them away to Babylon, and he will strike them with the sword.
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.
5 And I will give away the entire substance of this city, and all its labor, and every precious thing. And I will give all the treasures of the kings of Judah into the hands of their enemies. And they will plunder them, and take them away, and lead them into Babylon.
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.
6 But you, Pashhur, and all the inhabitants of your house, will go into captivity. And you will go to Babylon. And there you shall die. And there you shall be buried, you and all your friends, to whom you have prophesied a lie.”
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.'"
7 “You have led me away, O Lord, and I have been led away. You have been stronger than I, and you have prevailed. I have become a derision all day long; everyone mocks me.
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.
8 For I speak now as I have long spoken: crying out against iniquity and proclaiming devastation. And the word of the Lord has been made into a reproach against me and a derision, all day long.
Setiap kali aku berbicara, aku harus berteriak sekuat tenaga, "Kekejaman! Bencana!" TUHAN, aku diejek dan dihina setiap waktu, karena menyampaikan pesan-Mu.
9 Then I said: I will not call him to mind, nor will I speak any longer in his name. And my heart became like a raging fire, enclosed within my bones. And I became weary of continuing to bear it.
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.
10 For I heard the insults of many, and terror all around: ‘Persecute him!’ and, ‘Let us persecute him!’ from all the men who had been at peace with me and who had kept watch by my side. ‘If only there were some way that he might be deceived, and we might prevail against him and obtain vengeance from him!’
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."
11 But the Lord is with me, like a strong warrior. For this reason, those who persecute me will fall, and they will be ineffective. They will be greatly confounded. For they have not understood the everlasting disgrace that will never be wiped away.
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.
12 And you, O Lord of hosts, the Tester of the just, who sees the temperament and the heart: I beg you to let me see your vengeance upon them. For I have revealed my case to you.
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.
13 Sing to the Lord! Praise the Lord! For he has freed the soul of the poor from the hand of the wicked.
Menyanyilah bagi TUHAN dan pujilah Dia sebab Ia melepaskan orang tertekan dari kuasa orang durhaka.
14 Cursed is the day on which I was born! The day on which my mother gave birth to me: let it not be blessed!
Terkutuklah hari kelahiranku! Biarlah terhina saat aku dilahirkan ibu.
15 Cursed is the man who announced it to my father, saying, ‘A male child has been born to you,’ causing him to rejoice with gladness.
Terkutuklah juga pembawa berita yang membuat ayahku sangat gembira, ketika diberitahukan kepadanya, "Engkau mendapat seorang putra!"
16 Let that man be like the cities that the Lord has overthrown without regret. Let him hear an outcry in the morning, and wailing at the time of midday!
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.
17 So let him be, who did not put me to death from the womb, so that my mother would have been my sepulcher, and her womb would have been my eternal resting place!
Sebab ia tidak membunuh aku ketika aku masih dalam kandungan, supaya aku tetap dikandung ibuku dan rahimnya menjadi bagiku sebagai kuburan.
18 Why did I depart from the womb, so that I would see hardship and sorrow, and so that my days would be consumed by trouble?”
Mengapa aku harus dilahirkan? Hanyakah untuk derita dan kesukaran? Dan supaya hidupku berlalu semata-mata dalam malu?
