Jeremiah 20
1 And Pashhur son of Immer the priest—who [is] also overseer, leader in the house of YHWH—hears Jeremiah prophesying these things,
Imam Pasyhur anak Imer adalah kepala pengawas Rumah TUHAN. Ketika ia mendengar aku mengumumkan semua hal itu,
2 and Pashhur strikes Jeremiah the prophet, and puts him in the stocks that [are] by the Upper Gate of Benjamin, that [is] by the house of YHWH.
ia memerintahkan supaya aku dipukul dan dipasung di Pintu Gerbang Benyamin, gerbang bagian atas di Rumah TUHAN.
3 And it comes to pass on the next day, that Pashhur brings Jeremiah out from the stocks, and Jeremiah says to him, “YHWH has not called your name Pashhur, but Terror on Every Side.
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 said YHWH: Behold, I am making you for a fear to yourself, And to all loving you, And they have fallen by the sword of their enemies, and your eyes are beholding, And all Judah I give into the hand of the king of Babylon, And he has removed them to Babylon, And he has struck 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 have given all the strength of this city, And all its labor, and all its precious things, Indeed, I give all the treasures of the kings of Judah into the hand of their enemies, And they have spoiled them, and taken them, And have brought 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 And you, Pashhur, and all dwelling in your house, Go into captivity. And you enter Babylon, And there you die, and there you are buried, You and all loving you, To whom you have prophesied falsely.”
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 persuaded me, O YHWH, and I am persuaded; You have hardened me, and prevail, I have been for a laughter all the day, Everyone is mocking at 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 Because from the time I speak I cry out, I shout, “Violence and destruction!” For the word of YHWH has been to me For reproach and for derision all the day.
Setiap kali aku berbicara, aku harus berteriak sekuat tenaga, "Kekejaman! Bencana!" TUHAN, aku diejek dan dihina setiap waktu, karena menyampaikan pesan-Mu.
9 And I said, “I do not mention Him, Nor do I speak anymore in His Name,” And it has been in my heart As a burning fire shut up in my bones, And I have been weary of containing, And I am not able.
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 have heard the evil report of many, “Fear [is] all around!” “Declare, and we declare it!” All my allies are watching [for] my halting, “Perhaps he is enticed, and we prevail over him, And we take our vengeance 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 And YHWH [is] with me, as a mighty, awesome One, Therefore my persecutors stumble and do not prevail, They have been exceedingly ashamed, For they have not acted wisely, Continuous confusion is not 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 And, O YHWH of Hosts, trier of the righteous, Beholder of reins and heart, I see Your vengeance on them, For I have revealed my cause 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 YHWH, praise YHWH, For He has delivered the soul of the needy From the hand of evildoers.
Menyanyilah bagi TUHAN dan pujilah Dia sebab Ia melepaskan orang tertekan dari kuasa orang durhaka.
14 Cursed [is] the day in which I was born, The day that my mother bore me, Let it not be blessed!
Terkutuklah hari kelahiranku! Biarlah terhina saat aku dilahirkan ibu.
15 Cursed [is] the man who bore tidings [to] my father, Saying, “A male child has been born to you,” Making him very glad!
Terkutuklah juga pembawa berita yang membuat ayahku sangat gembira, ketika diberitahukan kepadanya, "Engkau mendapat seorang putra!"
16 Then that man has been as the cities, That YHWH overthrew, and did not relent, And he has heard a cry in the morning, And a shout at noontime.
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 has not put me to death from the womb, And my mother is to me—my grave, And her womb [is] a perpetual pregnancy.
Sebab ia tidak membunuh aku ketika aku masih dalam kandungan, supaya aku tetap dikandung ibuku dan rahimnya menjadi bagiku sebagai kuburan.
18 Why [is] this? I have come out from the womb To see labor and sorrow, Indeed, my days are consumed in shame!
Mengapa aku harus dilahirkan? Hanyakah untuk derita dan kesukaran? Dan supaya hidupku berlalu semata-mata dalam malu?
