Jeremiah 30

1 This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying:

TUHAN, Allah Israel,

2 “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, saying: You shall write in a book all the words that I have spoken to you.

berkata kepadaku, "Tulislah dalam sebuah buku semua yang telah Kukatakan kepadamu.

3 For behold, the days are approaching, says the Lord, when I will convert the turning away of my people, Israel and Judah, says the Lord. And I will return them to the land which I gave to their fathers, and they will possess it.”

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."

4 And these are the words which the Lord has spoken to Israel and to Judah:

TUHAN berkata kepada umat Israel dan Yehuda,

5 For thus says the Lord: ‘We have heard a voice of terror. There is dread, and there is no peace.’

"Aku telah mendengar jeritan orang yang gentar, jeritan orang ketakutan yang tidak mempunyai kedamaian.

6 Inquire and see, does a male give birth? Then why have I seen every man with his hand on his lower back, like a woman bearing a child? And why have all of their faces turned pale?

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?

7 Woe! For that day is great, and there is nothing like it. For it is the time of tribulation for Jacob, but he will be saved from it.

Hari dahsyat telah tiba, hari yang tak ada taranya. Bagi umat-Ku, itu hari yang mencemaskan; tapi mereka akan Kuselamatkan."

8 And this shall be in that day, says the Lord of hosts: I will crush his yoke from your neck, and I will break open his bands. And strangers will no longer rule over him.

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.

9 Instead, they will serve the Lord their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up for them.

Kamu akan mengabdi kepada-Ku, TUHAN Allahmu, dan kepada seorang keturunan Daud yang akan Kuangkat sebagai raja.

10 Therefore, O my servant Jacob, you should not be afraid, says the Lord, and you should not be frightened, O Israel. For behold, I will save you from a far away land, and your offspring from the land of their captivity. And Jacob will return and have rest, and he shall flow with every good thing. And there will be no one for him to dread.

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.

11 For I am with you, says the Lord, so that I may save you. For I will bring about the consummation of all the nations, among which I have scattered you. But I will not bring about your consummation. Instead, I will chastise you in judgment, so that you will not seem innocent to yourself.”

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."

12 For thus says the Lord: “Your fracture is incurable; your wound is very serious.

TUHAN berkata kepada umat-Nya: "Penyakitmu sangat parah, bagi lukamu tak ada obatnya.

13 There is no one who may judge your judgment, so as to bandage it; there is no useful treatment for you.

Tak seorang pun sudi memperjuangkan kesembuhanmu, tiada obat untuk bisul-bisulmu, tiada harapan bagimu untuk sembuh.

14 All your lovers have forgotten you, and they will not seek you. For I have wounded you with the strike of an enemy, with a cruel chastisement. Your sins have become hardened because of the multitude of your iniquities.

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.

15 Why do you cry out over your affliction? Your pain is incurable. I have done these things to you because of the multitude of your iniquity and because of your hardened sins.

Janganlah lagi mengeluh mengenai luka-lukamu, sebab bagimu tak ada harapan sembuh. Kamu Kuhukum begitu karena banyaklah dosamu dan besar kesalahanmu.

16 Because of this, all those who devour you, will be devoured. And all your enemies will be led into captivity. And those who devastate you, will be devastated. And all those who prey upon you, I will offer as a prey.

Tapi sekarang semua yang menelanmu akan ditelan, dan semua musuhmu akan diangkut ke pembuangan. Aku akan menindas yang menindasmu, Aku akan merampok yang merampokmu.

17 For I will close up your scar, and I will heal you of your wounds, says the Lord. For they have called you an outcast, O Zion: ‘This is she who has no one asking for her.’”

Sekalipun musuhmu berkata, 'Sion telah dibuang, dan tak ada yang memperhatikan,' namun kamu akan Kubuat sehat kembali, dan luka-lukamu akan kuobati."

18 Thus says the Lord: “Behold, I will turn back the turning away of the tabernacles of Jacob, and I will take pity on his roofs. And the city will be built up in her heights, and the temple will be founded according to its order.

TUHAN berkata lagi: "Kamu, umat-Ku akan Kukasihani dan Kupulihkan keadaanmu di tanah airmu sendiri. Yerusalem akan dibangun lagi, dan istananya diperbaiki.

19 And praise will go forth from them, with the voice of those who play. And I will multiply them, and they will not be lessened. And I will glorify them, and they will not be weakened.

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.

20 And their sons will be as in the beginning. And their assembly will remain in my sight. And I will visit against all those who trouble them.

Bangsamu akan Kujadikan jaya seperti dahulu, dan berdiri lagi sebagai umat-Ku. Semua yang menindasnya akan Kuhukum juga.

21 And their ruler will be one of their own. And their prince will be led forward from their midst. And I will draw him near, and he will cling to me. For who is the one who applies his heart, so that he may draw near to me, says the Lord?

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."

22 And you shall be my people, and I will be your God.”

23 Behold the whirlwind of the Lord, his fury going forth, a destroying storm! It will rest upon the head of the impious.

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.

24 The Lord will not turn back the wrath of his indignation, until he has accomplished and completed the plan of his heart. In the last days, you shall understand these things.
