< Jeremiah 36 >

1 And it came to pass in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, that this word came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, saying:
Dalam tahun yang keempat pemerintahan Yoyakim bin Yosia, raja Yehuda, datanglah firman ini dari TUHAN kepada Yeremia, bunyinya:
2 'Take thee a roll of a book, and write therein all the words that I have spoken unto thee against Israel, and against Judah, and against all the nations, from the day I spoke unto thee, from the days of Josiah, even unto this day.
"Ambillah kitab gulungan dan tulislah di dalamnya segala perkataan yang telah Kufirmankan kepadamu mengenai Israel, Yehuda dan segala bangsa, dari sejak Aku berbicara kepadamu, yakni dari sejak zaman Yosia, sampai waktu ini.
3 It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I purpose to do unto them; that they may return every man from his evil way, and I may forgive their iniquity and their sin.'
Mungkin apabila kaum Yehuda mendengar tentang segala malapetaka yang Aku rancangkan hendak mendatangkannya kepada mereka, maka mereka masing-masing akan bertobat dari tingkah langkahnya yang jahat itu, sehingga Aku mengampuni kesalahan dan dosa mereka."
4 Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah; and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the LORD, which He had spoken unto him, upon a roll of a book.
Jadi Yeremia memanggil Barukh bin Neria, lalu Barukh menuliskan dalam kitab gulungan itu langsung dari mulut Yeremia segala perkataan yang telah difirmankan TUHAN kepadanya.
5 And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying: 'I am detained, I cannot go into the house of the LORD;
Pada suatu kali Yeremia memberi perintah kepada Barukh: "Aku ini berhalangan, tidak dapat pergi ke rumah TUHAN.
6 therefore go thou, and read in the roll, which thou hast written from my mouth, the words of the LORD in the ears of the people in the LORD'S house upon a fast-day; and also thou shalt read them in the ears of all Judah that come out of their cities.
Jadi pada hari puasa engkaulah yang pergi membacakan perkataan-perkataan TUHAN kepada orang banyak di rumah TUHAN dari gulungan yang kautuliskan langsung dari mulutku itu; kepada segenap orang Yehuda yang datang dari kota-kotanya haruslah kaubacakannya juga.
7 It may be they will present their supplication before the LORD, and will return every one from his evil way; for great is the anger and the fury that the LORD hath pronounced against this people.'
Mungkin permohonan mereka sampai di hadapan TUHAN dan mereka masing-masing bertobat dari tingkah langkahnya yang jahat itu, sebab besar murka dan kehangatan amarah yang diancamkan TUHAN kepada bangsa ini."
8 And Baruch the son of Neriah did according to all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, reading in the book the words of the LORD in the LORD'S house.
Lalu Barukh bin Neria melakukan tepat seperti yang diperintahkan kepadanya oleh nabi Yeremia untuk membacakan perkataan-perkataan TUHAN dari kitab itu di rumah TUHAN. --
9 Now it came to pass in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, in the ninth month, that they proclaimed a fast before the LORD, all the people in Jerusalem, and all the people that came from the cities of Judah unto Jerusalem.
Adapun dalam tahun yang kelima pemerintahan Yoyakim bin Yosia, raja Yehuda, dalam bulan yang kesembilan, orang telah memaklumkan puasa di hadapan TUHAN bagi segenap rakyat di Yerusalem dan bagi segenap rakyat yang telah datang dari kota-kota Yehuda ke Yerusalem. --
10 Then did Baruch read in the book the words of Jeremiah in the house of the LORD, in the chamber 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.
Maka Barukh membacakan kepada segenap rakyat perkataan Yeremia dari kitab itu, di rumah TUHAN, di kamar Gemarya anak panitera Safan, di pelataran atas di muka pintu gerbang baru dari rumah TUHAN.
11 And when Micaiah the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, had heard out of the book all the words of the LORD,
Ketika Mikhaya bin Gemarya bin Safan mendengar segala firman TUHAN dari kitab itu,
12 he went down into the king's house, into the scribe's chamber; and, lo, all the princes sat there, even Elishama the scribe, and Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, and Elnathan the son of Achbor, and Gemariah the son of Shaphan, and Zedekiah the son of Hananiah, and all the princes.
turunlah ia ke istana raja, ke kamar panitera. Di sana tampak duduk semua pemuka, yakni panitera Elisama, Delaya bin Semaya, Elnatan bin Akhbor, Gemarya bin Safan, Zedekia bin Hananya dan semua pemuka lain.
13 Then Micaiah declared unto them all the words that he had heard, when Baruch read the book in the ears of the people.
Lalu Mikhaya memberitahukan kepada mereka segala firman yang telah didengarnya, ketika Barukh membacakan kitab itu kepada orang banyak.
14 Therefore all the princes sent Jehudi the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, unto Baruch, saying: 'Take in thy hand the roll wherein thou hast read in the ears of the people, and come.' So Baruch the son of Neriah took the roll in his hand, and came unto them.
Kemudian para pemimpin itu menyuruh Yehudi bin Netanya bin Selemya bin Kusyi kepada Barukh mengatakan: "Bawalah gulungan yang telah kaubacakan kepada orang banyak itu dan datanglah ke mari!" Maka Barukh bin Neria membawa gulungan itu dan datang kepada mereka.
15 And they said unto him: 'Sit down now, and read it in our ears.' So Baruch read it in their ears.
Berkatalah mereka kepadanya: "Silakan duduk dan bacakan itu kepada kami!" Lalu Barukh membacakannya kepada mereka.
16 Now it came to pass, when they had heard all the words, they turned in fear one toward another, and said unto Baruch: 'We will surely tell the king of all these words.'
Setelah mereka mendengar segala perkataan itu, maka terkejutlah mereka dan berkata seorang kepada yang lain: "Kita harus dengan segera memberitahukan segala perkataan ini kepada raja!"
17 And they asked Baruch, saying: 'Tell us now: How didst thou write all these words at his mouth?'
Bertanyalah mereka kepada Barukh, katanya: "Beritahukanlah kepada kami, bagaimana caranya engkau menuliskan segala perkataan ini!"
18 Then Baruch answered them: 'He pronounced all these words unto me with his mouth, and I wrote them with ink in the book.'
Jawab Barukh kepada mereka: "Segala perkataan ini langsung dari mulut Yeremia kepadaku, dan aku menuliskannya dengan tinta dalam kitab."
19 Then said the princes unto Baruch: 'Go, hide thee, thou and Jeremiah, and let no man know where ye are.'
Lalu berkatalah para pemuka itu kepada Barukh: "Pergilah, sembunyikanlah dirimu bersama Yeremia! Janganlah ada orang yang mengetahui di mana tempatmu!"
20 And they went in to the king into the court; but they had deposited the roll in the chamber of Elishama the scribe; and they told all the words in the ears of the king.
Kemudian pergilah mereka menghadap raja di pelataran, sesudah mereka menyimpan gulungan itu di kamar panitera Elisama. Mereka memberitahukan segala perkataan ini kepada raja.
21 So the king sent Jehudi to fetch the roll; and he took it out of the chamber of Elishama the scribe. And Jehudi read it in the ears of the king, and in the ears of all the princes that stood beside the king.
Raja menyuruh Yehudi mengambil gulungan itu, lalu ia mengambilnya dari kamar panitera Elisama itu. Yehudi membacakannya kepada raja dan semua pemuka yang berdiri dekat raja.
22 Now the king was sitting in the winter-house in the ninth month; and the brazier was burning before him.
Waktu itu adalah bulan yang kesembilan dan raja sedang duduk di balai musim dingin, sementara di depannya api menyala di perapian.
23 And it came to pass, when Jehudi had read three or four columns, that he cut it with the penknife, and cast it into the fire that was in the brazier, until all the roll was consumed in the fire that was in the brazier.
Setiap kali apabila Yehudi selesai membacakan tiga empat lajur, maka raja mengoyak-ngoyaknya dengan pisau raut, lalu dilemparkan ke dalam api yang di perapian itu, sampai seluruh gulungan itu habis dimakan api yang di perapian itu.
24 Yet they were not afraid, nor rent their garments, neither the king, nor any of his servants that heard all these words.
Baik raja maupun para pegawainya, yang mendengarkan segala perkataan ini, seorangpun tidak terkejut dan tidak mengoyakkan pakaiannya.
25 Moreover Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah had entreated the king not to burn the roll; but he would not hear them.
Elnatan, Delaya dan Gemarya memang mendesak kepada raja, supaya jangan membakar gulungan itu, tetapi raja tidak mendengarkan mereka.
26 And the king commanded Jerahmeel the king's son, and Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel, to take Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet; but the LORD hid them.
Bahkan raja memerintahkan pangeran Yerahmeel, Seraya bin Azriel dan Selemya bin Abdeel untuk menangkap juru tulis Barukh dan nabi Yeremia, tetapi TUHAN menyembunyikan mereka.
27 Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, after that the king had burned the roll, and the words which Baruch wrote at the mouth of Jeremiah, saying:
Sesudah raja membakar gulungan berisi perkataan-perkataan yang dituliskan oleh Barukh langsung dari mulut Yeremia itu, maka datanglah firman TUHAN kepada Yeremia, bunyinya:
28 'Take thee again another roll, and write in it all the former words that were in the first roll, which Jehoiakim the king of Judah hath burned.
"Ambil pulalah gulungan lain, tuliskanlah di dalamnya segala perkataan yang semula ada di dalam gulungan yang pertama yang dibakar oleh Yoyakim, raja Yehuda.
29 And concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah thou shalt say: Thus saith the LORD: Thou hast burned this roll, saying: Why hast thou written therein, saying: The king of Babylon shall certainly come and destroy this land, and shall cause to cease from thence man and beast?
Mengenai Yoyakim, raja Yehuda, haruslah kaukatakan: Beginilah firman TUHAN: Engkau telah membakar gulungan ini dengan berkata: Mengapakah engkau menulis di dalamnya, bahwa raja Babel pasti akan datang untuk memusnahkan negeri ini dan untuk melenyapkan dari dalamnya manusia dan hewan?
30 Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah: He shall have none to sit upon the throne of David; and his dead body shall be cast out in the day to the heat, and in the night to the frost.
Sebab itu beginilah firman TUHAN tentang Yoyakim, raja Yehuda: Ia tidak akan mempunyai keturunan yang akan duduk di atas takhta Daud, dan mayatnya akan tercampak, sehingga kena panas di waktu siang dan kena dingin di waktu malam.
31 And I will visit upon him and his seed and his servants their iniquity; and I will bring upon them, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and upon the men of Judah, all the evil that I have pronounced against them, but they hearkened not.'
Aku akan menghukum dia, keturunannya dan hamba-hambanya karena kesalahan mereka; Aku akan mendatangkan atas mereka, atas segala penduduk Yerusalem dan atas orang Yehuda segenap malapetaka yang Kuancamkan kepada mereka, yang mereka tidak mau mendengarnya."
32 Then took Jeremiah another roll, 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 there were added besides unto them many like words.
Maka Yeremia mengambil gulungan lain dan memberikannya kepada juru tulis Barukh bin Neria yang menuliskan di dalamnya langsung dari mulut Yeremia segala perkataan yang ada di dalam kitab yang telah dibakar Yoyakim, raja Yehuda dalam api itu. Lagipula masih ditambahi dengan banyak perkataan seperti itu.
