Jeremiah 48

1 Of Moab. "Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: 'Woe to Nebo, because it is about to be destroyed; Kiriathaim will be put to shame, it will be taken captive. The fortress is put to shame and broken down.

Mengenai Moab. Beginilah firman TUHAN semesta alam, Allah Israel: "Celakalah Nebo, sebab kota itu sudah dibinasakan! Kiryataim telah menjadi malu dan direbut! Kota benteng itu menjadi malu dan terkejut:

2 The praise of Moab is no more; in Heshbon they have devised evil against her: "Come, and let us cut her off from being a nation." You also, Madmen, shall be brought to silence: the sword shall pursue you.

lenyaplah sudah kemegahan Moab! Di Hesybon orang merencanakan malapetaka terhadapnya: Marilah kita melenyapkannya sebagai bangsa! Juga engkau, hai Madmen, akan dibungkamkan, engkau akan dikejar-kejar pedang.

3 The sound of a cry from Horonaim, "destruction and great calamity."

Dengar! Teriakan dari Horonaim: Kebinasaan! Kehancuran besar!

4 Moab is destroyed; her little ones have caused a cry to be heard.

Moab telah hancur lebur! kedengaran orang berteriak sampai ke Zoar.

5 For by the ascent of Luhith with continual weeping shall they go up; for at the descent of Horonaim they have heard the distress of the cry of destruction.

Sungguh, orang mendaki pendakian Luhit sambil menangis. Sungguh, di jalan turun ke Horonaim orang mendengar teriak karena ditimpa bencana.

6 "Flee, save your lives, and be like a shrub in the wilderness."

Larilah, selamatkanlah nyawamu: jadilah seperti keledai liar di padang gurun!

7 For, because you have trusted in your works and in your treasures, you also shall be taken: and Chemosh shall go forth into captivity, his priests and his officials together.

Sungguh, oleh karena engkau percaya kepada bentengmu dan perbendaharaanmu, maka engkaupun akan direbut; Kamos akan pergi ke dalam pembuangan, bersama-sama dengan para imam dan pemukanya.

8 The destroyer shall come on every city, and no city shall escape; the valley also shall perish, and the plain shall be destroyed; as the LORD has spoken.

Pembinasa akan datang ke setiap kota, tidak ada kota yang terluput! Lembah akan binasa, tanah datar habis musnah, seperti yang difirmankan TUHAN.

9 Give wings to Moab, that she may fly and get her away: and her cities shall become a desolation, without any to dwell in them.'

Berikanlah sayap kepada Moab, supaya ia lari terbang; kota-kotanya akan menjadi sunyi sepi, tidak ada lagi penduduk di dalamnya.

10 Cursed is he who does the work of the LORD negligently; and cursed is he who keeps back his sword from blood.

Terkutuklah orang yang melaksanakan pekerjaan TUHAN dengan lalai, dan terkutuklah orang yang menghambat pedang-Nya dari penumpahan darah!

11 'Moab has been at ease from his youth, and he has settled on his lees, and has not been emptied from vessel to vessel, neither has he gone into captivity: therefore his taste remains in him, and his scent is not changed.

Moab hidup aman dari sejak masa mudanya, dia hidup tenang seperti anggur di atas endapannya, tidak dituangkan dari tempayan yang satu ke tempayan yang lain, tidak pernah masuk ke dalam pembuangan; sebab itu rasanya tetap padanya, dan baunya tidak berubah.

12 Therefore look, the days come,' says the LORD, 'that I will send to him those who pour off, and they shall pour him off; and they shall empty his vessels, and break their bottles in pieces.

Sebab itu, sesungguhnya, waktunya akan datang, demikianlah firman TUHAN, bahwa Aku akan mengirim kepadanya tukang-tukang yang akan menuangkannya, mencurahkan tempayan-tempayannya dan memecahkan buyung-buyungnya.

13 Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel their confidence.

Maka Moab akan menjadi malu oleh karena dewa Kamos, sama seperti kaum Israel menjadi malu oleh karena Betel, kepercayaan mereka.

14 How can you say, "We are mighty men, and valiant men for the war?"

Bagaimanakah kamu berani berkata: Kami adalah pahlawan-pahlawan, orang-orang gagah perkasa untuk berperang!

15 Moab is laid waste, and they are gone up into his cities, and his chosen young men are gone down to the slaughter,' says the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts.

Pembinasa Moab telah maju menyerang dia, teruna-terunanya yang pilihan telah turun ke pembantaian, demikianlah firman Raja yang nama-Nya TUHAN semesta alam.

16 The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his affliction hurries fast.

Bencana Moab sudah hampir datang, malapetakanya sangat segera sampai.

17 All you who are around him, bemoan him, and all you who know his name; say, "How is the strong staff broken, the beautiful rod."

Ratapilah dia, hai semua yang ada di sekitarnya, hai semua yang mengenal namanya! Katakanlah: Sungguh, sudah patah tampuk kekuasaan, tongkat keagungan itu!

18 You daughter who dwells in Dibon, come down from your glory, and sit in thirst; for the destroyer of Moab has come up against you, he has destroyed your strongholds.

Turunlah dari kemuliaanmu dan duduklah di atas kotoran, hai puteri Dibon yang sudah lama menetap! Sebab pembinasa Moab sudah maju menyerbu engkau, memusnahkan tempat-tempatmu yang berkubu.

19 Inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way, and watch: ask him who flees, and her who escapes; say, "What has been done?"

Berdirilah di tepi jalan dan tinjaulah, hai penduduk Aroer! Tanyakanlah kepada orang yang lari dan yang terluput, katakanlah: Apakah yang telah terjadi?

20 "Moab is disappointed; for it is broken down: wail and cry; tell it by the Arnon, that Moab is laid waste."

Moab sudah malu, karena ia terkejut! Merataplah dan berteriaklah, beritahukanlah di sungai Arnon: Sungguh, Moab sudah binasa!

21 Judgment has come on the plain country, on Holon, and on Jahzah, and on Mephaath,

Penghukuman telah berlaku atas daerah dataran tinggi, atas kota-kota Holon, Yahas, Mefaat,

22 and on Dibon, and on Nebo, and on Beth Diblathaim,

Dibon, Nebo, Bet-Diblataim,

23 and on Kiriathaim, and on Beth Gamul, and on Beth Meon,

Kiryataim, Bet-Gamul, Bet-Meon,

24 and on Kerioth, and on Bozrah, and on all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near.

Keriot, Bozra dan atas segala kota negeri Moab yang jauh dan yang dekat.

25 The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken,' says the LORD.

Telah patah tanduk kekuatan Moab, dan lengan kekuasaannya telah pecah! demikianlah firman TUHAN.

26 'Make him drunk; for he magnified himself against the LORD: and Moab shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall be in derision.

Buatlah dia mabuk, sebab dia membesarkan diri terhadap TUHAN! Moab akan berguling-guling dalam muntahnya, dan ia sendiripun akan menjadi tertawaan orang.

27 For wasn't Israel a derision to you? Was he found among thieves? For as often as you speak of him, you shake your head.

Apakah bukan Israel tadinya yang menjadi tertawaan bagimu? Apakah dia terdapat di antara pencuri-pencuri, sehingga engkau menggeleng-gelengkan kepala, setiap kali engkau berbicara tentang dia?

28 You inhabitants of Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the rock; and be like the dove that makes her nest over the mouth of the abyss.

Tinggalkanlah kota-kota dan diamlah di bukit batu, hai penduduk Moab! Jadilah seperti burung merpati yang bersarang di dinding mulut liang.

29 We have heard of the pride of Moab--he is very proud--of his pride, and his vanity, and his arrogance, and the haughtiness of his heart.

Kami telah mendengar tentang keangkuhan Moab, alangkah angkuhnya dia, tentang kesombongannya, keangkuhannya dan kecongkakannya, tentang tinggi hatinya.

30 I know his wrath,' says the LORD, 'that it is nothing; his boastings have worked nothing.

Aku ini kenal kepongahannya, demikianlah firman TUHAN, tidak benar cakapnya, dan tidak benar perilakunya.

31 therefore I will wail for Moab; yes, I will cry out for all Moab; I will mourn for the men of Kir Heres.

Sebab itu aku akan meratap karena Moab, akan berteriak karena Moab seluruhnya, dan akan mengaduh karena orang-orang Kir-Heres!

32 With more than the weeping of Jazer will I weep for you, vine of Sibmah: your branches passed over the sea, they reached even to Jazer; on your summer fruits and on your vintage the destroyer is fallen.

Aku akan menangis karena engkau, lebih dari pada menangis karena Yaezer, hai pohon anggur Sibma! Ranting-rantingmu merambak sampai ke laut, meluas sampai ke Yaezer. Si pembinasa telah jatuh menimpa hasil musim kemaraumu dan panen buah anggurmu.

33 Gladness and joy is taken away from the fruitful field and from the land of Moab; and I have caused wine to cease from the wine presses: none shall tread with shouting; the shouting shall be no shouting.

Sukaria dan sorak-sorak telah lenyap dari kebun buah-buahan dan dari negeri Moab. Aku telah menjauhkan anggur dari tempat pemerasan; pengirik tidak ada lagi pengiriknya, pekik kegirangan tidak kedengaran lagi.

34 From the cry of Heshbon even to Elealeh, even to Jahaz have they uttered their voice, from Zoar even to Horonaim, to Eglath Shelishiyah: for the waters of Nimrim also shall become desolate.

Hesybon dan Eleale meraung-raung; orang memperdengarkan suaranya sampai ke Yahas, dari Zoar sampai Horonaim dan Eglat-Selisia; sebab air sungai Nimrim juga menjadi ketandusan.

35 And I will cause to cease in Moab,' says the LORD, 'the one who offers sacrifice upon the high place, and the one who burns incense to his gods.

Firman TUHAN: Aku akan menghentikan orang di Moab mempersembahkan korban bakaran di bukit pengorbanan dan mempersembahkan korban ukupan kepada allahnya.

36 Therefore my heart sounds for Moab like pipes, and my heart sounds like pipes for the men of Kir Heres: therefore the abundance that he has gotten is perished.

Sebab itu seperti hatiku terharu mendengar suling, begitulah hatiku terharu melihat keadaan Moab, dan hatiku terharu melihat keadaan orang-orang Kir-Heres; bukankah sudah hilang segala harta yang mereka tumpuk?

37 For every head is bald, and every beard clipped: on all the hands are cuttings, and on the waist sackcloth.

Sungguh, setiap kepala digundul dan setiap janggut dipotong, pada semua tangan ada toreh-torehan dan kain kabung dikenakan pada semua pinggang.

38 On all the housetops of Moab and in its streets there is lamentation every where; for I have broken Moab like a vessel in which none delights,' says the LORD.

Di atas segala sotoh Moab dan di tanah-tanah lapangnya hanya ada perkabungan belaka; --sungguh, Aku telah memecahkan Moab seperti tembikar, sehingga tidak ada orang yang menyukainya, demikianlah firman TUHAN.

39 How it is broken down. How they wail. How Moab has turned the back with shame. So shall Moab become a derision and a terror to all who are around him.'

Betapa terkejutnya dia! Betapa Moab menyembunyikan mukanya karena malu! Maka Moab telah menjadi tertawaan dan kekejutan bagi semua yang di sekitarnya.

40 For thus says the LORD: 'Look, he shall fly as an eagle, and shall spread out his wings against Moab.

Sebab beginilah firman TUHAN: Sesungguhnya, ia datang melayang seperti burung rajawali dan mengembangkan sayapnya ke atas Moab.

41 Kerioth is taken, and the strongholds are seized, and the heart of the mighty men of Moab at that day shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.

Kota-kota direbut, kubu-kubu pertahanan dirampas. Hati para pahlawan Moab pada waktu itu akan seperti hati perempuan yang sakit beranak.

42 Moab shall be destroyed from being a people, because he has magnified himself against the LORD.

Moab akan musnah sebagai bangsa, sebab ia membesarkan diri terhadap TUHAN.

43 Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are on you, inhabitant of Moab, says the LORD.

Kejut dan pelubang dan jerat bagimu, hai penduduk Moab! demikianlah firman TUHAN.

44 He who flees from the fear shall fall into the pit; and he who gets up out of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for I will bring on him, even on Moab, the year of their visitation,' says the LORD.

Yang lari dari kekejutan akan jatuh ke dalam pelubang, dan yang naik dari pelubang akan tertangkap dalam jerat. Sungguh, Aku mendatangkan semuanya ini atas Moab di tahun penghukuman atas mereka, demikianlah firman TUHAN.

45 'Those who fled stand without strength under the shadow of Heshbon; for a fire has gone forth out of Heshbon, and a flame from the city of Sihon, and it has destroyed the forehead of Moab, and the crown of the sons of tumult.

Di naungan Hesybon orang-orang pelarian berhenti, kehabisan kekuatan; tetapi api keluar dari Hesybon, nyala api dari istana Sihon, yang memakan habis pelipis Moab dan batu kepala orang-orang ribut.

46 Woe to you, O Moab. The people of Chemosh is undone; for your sons are taken away captive, and your daughters into captivity.

Celakalah engkau, hai Moab, binasa engkau, hai bangsa dewa Kamos! Sebab anak-anakmu lelaki telah diculik tertawan dan anak-anakmu perempuan menjadi tawanan.

47 Yet will I bring back the captivity of Moab in the latter days,' says the LORD. Thus far is the judgment of Moab."

Tetapi Aku akan memulihkan keadaan Moab di kemudian hari, demikianlah firman TUHAN." Sampai di sinilah firman penghukuman atas Moab.
