< Jeremiah 27 >

1 In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word has been to Jeremiah from YHWH, saying,
Pada permulaan pemerintahan Zedekia, anak Yosia raja Yehuda, datanglah firman ini dari TUHAN kepada Yeremia.
2 “Thus said YHWH to me: Make bands and yokes for yourself,
Beginilah firman TUHAN kepadaku: "Buatlah tali pengikat dan gandar, lalu pasanglah itu pada tengkukmu!
3 and you have put them on your neck, and have sent them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the sons of Ammon, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Sidon, by the hand of messengers who are coming to Jerusalem, to Zedekiah king of Judah;
Kemudian kirimlah pesan kepada raja Edom, kepada raja Moab, kepada raja bani Amon, kepada raja Tirus dan kepada raja Sidon, dengan perantaraan utusan-utusan yang telah datang ke Yerusalem menghadap Zedekia, raja Yehuda.
4 and you have commanded them for their lords, saying, Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel:
Perintahkanlah mereka mengatakan kepada tuan-tuan mereka: Beginilah firman TUHAN semesta alam, Allah Israel: Beginilah harus kamu katakan kepada tuan-tuanmu:
5 Thus you say to your lords, I have made the earth with man, and the livestock that [are] on the face of the earth, by My great power, and by My outstretched arm, and I have given it to whom it has been right in My eyes.
Akulah yang menjadikan bumi, manusia dan hewan yang ada di atas muka bumi dengan kekuatan-Ku yang besar dan dengan lengan-Ku yang terentang, dan Aku memberikannya kepada orang yang benar di mata-Ku.
6 And now, I have given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, My servant, and I have also given the beast of the field to him to serve him;
Dan sekarang, Aku menyerahkan segala negeri ini ke dalam tangan hamba-Ku, yakni Nebukadnezar, raja Babel; juga binatang di padang telah Kuserahkan supaya tunduk kepadanya.
7 and all the nations have served him, and his son, and his son’s son, until the coming in of the time of his land, also it; and many nations and great kings have made him serve them.
Segala bangsa akan takluk kepadanya dan kepada anaknya dan kepada cucunya, sampai saatnya juga tiba bagi negerinya sendiri, maka banyak bangsa dan raja-raja yang besar akan menaklukkannya.
8 And it has come to pass, the nation and the kingdom that does not serve him—Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon—and that which does not put its neck into the yoke of the king of Babylon, with sword, and with famine, and with pestilence, I lay a charge on that nation—a declaration of YHWH—until I consume them by his hand.
Tetapi bangsa dan kerajaan yang tidak mau takluk kepada Nebukadnezar, raja Babel, dan yang tidak mau menyerahkan tengkuknya ke bawah kuk raja Babel, maka bangsa itu akan Kuhukum dengan pedang, kelaparan dan penyakit sampar, demikianlah firman TUHAN, sampai mereka Kuserahkan ke dalam tangannya.
9 And you, you do not listen to your prophets, and to your diviners, and to your dreamers, and to your observers of clouds, and to your sorcerers who are speaking to you, saying, You do not serve the king of Babylon—
Mengenai kamu, janganlah kamu mendengarkan nabi-nabimu, juru-juru tenungmu, juru-juru mimpimu, tukang-tukang ramalmu dan tukang-tukang sihirmu yang berkata kepadamu: Janganlah kamu mau takluk kepada raja Babel!
10 For they are prophesying falsehood to you, so as to remove you far from your ground, and I have driven you out, and you have perished.
Sebab mereka bernubuat palsu kepadamu dengan maksud menjauhkan kamu dari atas tanahmu, sehingga kamu Kuceraiberaikan dan menjadi binasa.
11 And the nation that causes its neck to enter into the yoke of the king of Babylon, and has served him—I have left it on its ground—a declaration of YHWH—and it has tilled it, and dwelt in it.”
Tetapi bangsa yang mau menaruh tengkuknya ke bawah kuk raja Babel dan yang takluk kepadanya, maka mereka akan Kubiarkan di atas tanahnya, demikianlah firman TUHAN, dan mereka akan mengolahnya dan diam di sana."
12 And I have spoken to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying, “Cause your necks to enter into the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live.
Kepada Zedekia, raja Yehuda, aku telah berbicara dengan cara yang sama, kataku: "Taruhlah tengkukmu ke bawah kuk raja negeri Babel, takluklah kepadanya dan kepada rakyatnya, maka kamu akan hidup.
13 Why do you die, you and your people, by sword, by famine, and by pestilence, as YHWH has spoken concerning the nation that does not serve the king of Babylon?
Mengapa engkau beserta rakyatmu harus mati oleh pedang, kelaparan dan penyakit sampar seperti yang difirmankan TUHAN tentang bangsa yang tidak mau takluk kepada raja Babel itu?
14 And you do not listen to the words of the prophets who are speaking to you, saying, You do not serve the king of Babylon—for they are prophesying falsehood to you.
Janganlah dengarkan perkataan nabi-nabi yang berkata kepadamu: Janganlah kamu mau takluk kepada raja Babel! Sebab mereka bernubuat palsu kepadamu.
15 For I have not sent them—a declaration of YHWH—and they are prophesying falsely in My Name, so as to drive you out, and you have perished, you and the prophets who are prophesying to you.”
Sebab Aku tidak mengutus mereka, demikianlah firman TUHAN, tetapi mereka bernubuat palsu demi nama-Ku, sehingga kamu Kuceraiberaikan dan menjadi binasa bersama-sama dengan nabi-nabi yang bernubuat kepadamu itu."
16 And to the priests, and to all this people, I have spoken, saying, “Thus said YHWH: You do not listen to the words of your prophets, who are prophesying to you, saying, Behold, the vessels of the house of YHWH are now brought back from Babylon in haste, for they are prophesying falsehood to you.
Juga kepada imam-imam dan kepada seluruh rakyat itu aku berbicara, kataku: "Beginilah firman TUHAN: Janganlah dengarkan perkataan nabi-nabimu yang bernubuat kepadamu: Sesungguhnya, perkakas-perkakas rumah TUHAN tidak berapa lama lagi akan dibawa kembali dari Babel! Sebab mereka bernubuat palsu kepadamu.
17 You do not listen to them; serve the king of Babylon and live! Why is this city a ruin?
Janganlah kamu mendengarkan mereka, takluklah kepada raja Babel, maka kamu akan hidup. Mengapa kota ini harus menjadi reruntuhan?
18 And if they are prophets, and if a word of YHWH is with them, let them now intercede with YHWH of Hosts, so that the vessels that are left in the house of YHWH, and [in] the house of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem, have not gone into Babylon.
Jika memang mereka itu nabi dan jika ada firman TUHAN pada mereka, baiklah mereka mendesak kepada TUHAN semesta alam, supaya perkakas-perkakas yang masih tinggal dalam rumah TUHAN dan dalam istana raja Yehuda dan di Yerusalem itu jangan diangkut ke Babel.
19 For thus said YHWH of Hosts concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the rest of the vessels that are left in this city,
Sebab beginilah firman TUHAN semesta alam tentang tiang-tiang, bejana 'laut' dan galang, tentang sisa perkakas-perkakas yang masih tinggal di kota ini,
20 that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has not taken, in his removing Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah from Jerusalem to Babylon with all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem,
yang tidak diambil oleh Nebukadnezar, raja Babel, ketika ia mengangkut Yekhonya bin Yoyakim, raja Yehuda, ke dalam pembuangan beserta segala pemuka Yehuda dan Yerusalem, dari Yerusalem ke Babel, --
21 surely thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel, concerning the vessels that are left of the house of YHWH, and of the house of the king of Judah, and [in] Jerusalem:
sungguh, beginilah firman TUHAN semesta alam, Allah Israel, tentang perkakas-perkakas yang masih tinggal itu di rumah TUHAN dan di istana raja Yehuda dan di Yerusalem:
22 They are brought to Babylon, and there they are until the day of My inspecting them—a declaration of YHWH; then I have brought them up, and have brought them back to this place.”
Semuanya akan diangkut ke Babel dan akan tinggal di sana sampai kepada hari Aku memperhatikannya lagi, demikianlah firman TUHAN, lalu membawanya kembali ke tempat ini."
