Jeremiah 20

1 Now Pashur the son of Immer the priest, who was also chief governor in the house of the LORD, heard that Jeremiah prophesied these things.

Imam Pasyhur anak Imer adalah kepala pengawas Rumah TUHAN. Ketika ia mendengar aku mengumumkan semua hal itu,

2 Then Pashur stroke Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that were in the high gate of Benjamin, which was by the house of the LORD.

ia memerintahkan supaya aku dipukul dan dipasung di Pintu Gerbang Benyamin, gerbang bagian atas di Rumah TUHAN.

3 And it came to pass on the next day, that Pashur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then said Jeremiah unto him, The LORD has not called your name Pashur, but Magormissabib.

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 make you a terror to yourself, and to all your friends: and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and your eyes shall behold it: and I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive into Babylon, and shall slay 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 Moreover I will deliver all the strength of this city, and all the labours thereof, and all the precious things thereof, and all the treasures of the kings of Judah will I give into the hand of their enemies, which shall spoil them, and take them, and carry them to 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 And you, Pashur, and all that dwell in your house shall go into captivity: and you shall come to Babylon, and there you shall die, and shall be buried there, you, and all your friends, to whom you have prophesied lies.

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 O LORD, you have deceived me, and I was deceived; you are stronger than I, and have prevailed: I am in derision daily, every one 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 since I spoke, I cried out, I cried violence and spoil; because the word of the LORD was made a reproach unto me, and a derision, daily.

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 make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay.

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 defaming of many, fear on every side. Report, say they, and we will report it. All my familiars watched for my halting, saying, Possibly he will be enticed, and we shall prevail against him, and we shall take our revenge on 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 as a mighty terrible one: therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail: they shall be greatly ashamed; for they shall not prosper: their everlasting confusion shall never be forgotten.

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 But, O LORD of hosts, that try the righteous, and see the reins and the heart, let me see your vengeance on them: for unto you have I opened my cause.

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 unto the LORD, praise all of you the LORD: for he has delivered the soul of the poor from the hand of evildoers.

Menyanyilah bagi TUHAN dan pujilah Dia sebab Ia melepaskan orang tertekan dari kuasa orang durhaka.

14 Cursed be the day wherein I was born: let not the day wherein my mother bare me be blessed.

Terkutuklah hari kelahiranku! Biarlah terhina saat aku dilahirkan ibu.

15 Cursed be the man who brought tidings to my father, saying, A male child is born unto you; making him very glad.

Terkutuklah juga pembawa berita yang membuat ayahku sangat gembira, ketika diberitahukan kepadanya, "Engkau mendapat seorang putra!"

16 And let that man be as the cities which the LORD overthrew, and repented not: and let him hear the cry in the morning, and the shouting at noontide;

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 Because he slew me not from the womb; or that my mother might have been my grave, and her womb to be always great with me.

Sebab ia tidak membunuh aku ketika aku masih dalam kandungan, supaya aku tetap dikandung ibuku dan rahimnya menjadi bagiku sebagai kuburan.

18 Wherefore came I forth out of the womb to see labour and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?

Mengapa aku harus dilahirkan? Hanyakah untuk derita dan kesukaran? Dan supaya hidupku berlalu semata-mata dalam malu?
