Jeremiah 37
1 And he reigned king Zedekiah [the] son of Josiah in place of Coniah [the] son of Jehoiakim whom he made king Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon in [the] land of Judah.
Pada waktu Nebukadnezar raja Babel memecat Yoyakhin anak Yoyakim, ia mengangkat Zedekia anak Yosia menjadi raja Yehuda.
2 And not he listened he and servants his and [the] people of the land to [the] words of Yahweh which he spoke by [the] hand of Jeremiah the prophet.
Tetapi baik Zedekia maupun para pejabatnya dan rakyatnya tidak menuruti pesan TUHAN yang diberikan-Nya melalui aku.
3 And he sent the king Zedekiah Jehucal [the] son of Shelemiah and Zephaniah [the] son of Maaseiah the priest to Jeremiah the prophet saying pray please for us to Yahweh God our.
Raja Zedekia mengutus Yukhal anak Selemya, dan Imam Zefanya anak Maaseya untuk minta supaya aku berdoa kepada TUHAN Allah untuk kepentingan bangsa.
4 And Jeremiah [was] coming and [was] going out in among the people and not they had put him [the] house of (imprisonment. *Q(K)*)
Pada waktu itu aku belum dimasukkan ke dalam penjara dan masih bebas bergerak di antara rakyat.
5 And [the] army of Pharaoh it had come forth from Egypt and they had heard the Chaldeans who were laying siege on Jerusalem report their and they had taken themselves up from on Jerusalem.
Tentara Babel sedang mengepung Yerusalem, tapi ketika mereka mendengar bahwa tentara Mesir telah berangkat dari Mesir untuk berperang, mereka mundur.
6 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to Jeremiah the prophet saying.
TUHAN, Allah Israel, menyuruh aku
7 Thus he says Yahweh [the] God of Israel thus you will say to [the] king of Judah who sent you to me to consult me there! - [the] army of Pharaoh which was coming out to you to help [is] about to return to own land its Egypt.
berkata begini kepada utusan Raja Zedekia: "Katakanlah kepada Zedekia, 'Tentara Mesir yang sedang menuju kemari untuk membantumu, akan balik dan pulang.
8 And they will return the Chaldeans and they will fight on the city this and they will capture it and they will burn it with fire.
Lalu orang Babel akan kembali dan menyerang kota ini, serta mengalahkan dan membakarnya.
9 Thus - he says Yahweh may not you deceive selves your saying certainly they will go from on us the Chaldeans for not they will go.
Aku, TUHAN, memperingatkan kamu, supaya jangan menipu dirimu dengan berpikir bahwa orang Babel telah pergi dan tidak akan kembali. Sebab mereka pasti akan kembali.
10 That except you struck down all [the] army of [the] Chaldeans who are fighting with you and they survived among them men pierced through everyone in tent his they will arise and they will burn the city this with fire.
Seandainya kamu mengalahkan seluruh tentara Babel sehingga yang tinggal hanyalah orang-orang yang luka parah di dalam kemah-kemah mereka, namun mereka akan bangun dan membakar habis kota ini.'"
11 And it was when had taken itself up [the] army of the Chaldeans from on Jerusalem because of [the] army of Pharaoh.
Tentara Babel mundur dari Yerusalem karena tentara Mesir bergerak menuju kota itu.
12 And he went out Jeremiah from Jerusalem to go [the] land of Benjamin to receive a portion from there in among the people.
Maka aku meninggalkan Yerusalem dan pergi ke wilayah Benyamin untuk menerima pembagian warisanku dari tanah milik keluarga.
13 And it was he [was] at [the] gate of Benjamin and [was] there a captain of [the] guard and name his [was] Irijah [the] son of Shelemiah [the] son of Hananiah and he arrested Jeremiah the prophet saying to the Chaldeans you [are] falling.
Tetapi ketika aku sampai di Pintu Gerbang Benyamin, komandan tentara yang bertugas di situ menahan aku dan berkata, "Engkau mau lari ke pihak orang Babel!" (Perwira itu bernama Yeria; ia anak Selemya dan cucu Hananya.)
14 And he said Jeremiah a lie not I [am] falling on the Chaldeans and not he listened to him and he seized Irijah Jeremiah and he brought him to the officials.
Aku membalas, "Tidak benar! Aku tidak bermaksud lari ke pihak musuh." Tapi Yeria tidak mau mendengarkan. Ia menangkap dan membawa aku menghadap para pejabat pemerintah.
15 And they were angry the officials towards Jeremiah and they struck him and they put him [the] house of fetter[s] [the] house of Jonathan the scribe for it they had made into [the] house of imprisonment.
Mereka marah sekali kepadaku, dan memerintahkan supaya aku dipukuli dan dikurung di rumah Yonatan, sekretaris negara. Rumah itu sudah dijadikan penjara.
16 For he went Jeremiah into [the] house of the cistern and into the cell and he remained there Jeremiah days many.
Aku dimasukkan ke dalam sebuah kolam di bawah tanah, dan lama ditahan di situ.
17 And he sent the king Zedekiah and he took him and he asked him the king in house his in secrecy and he said ¿ [is] there a word from with Yahweh and he said Jeremiah there is and he said in [the] hand of [the] king of Babylon you will be given.
Kemudian Raja Zedekia menyuruh orang membawa aku menghadap dia di istana. Di situ secara rahasia ia bertanya kepadaku apakah ada pesan dari TUHAN. "Ada," jawabku. Lalu kutambahkan, "Baginda akan diserahkan kepada raja Babel."
18 And he said Jeremiah to the king Zedekiah what? have I sinned to you and to servants your and to the people this that you have put me into [the] house of imprisonment.
Setelah itu aku bertanya, "Apa kejahatanku terhadap Baginda atau terhadap para pejabat Baginda atau rakyat, sehingga Baginda memasukkan aku ke dalam penjara?
19 (And where? *Q(K)*) [are] prophets your who they prophesied to you saying not he will come [the] king of Babylon on you and on the land this.
Di mana para nabi Baginda itu yang mengatakan bahwa raja Babel tidak akan menyerang Baginda dan negeri ini?
20 And therefore listen please O lord my the king may it fall please supplication my before you and may not you make go back me [the] house of Jonathan the scribe and not I will die there.
Sekarang, Baginda yang mulia, sudilah mendengarkan permohonanku ini. Janganlah Baginda mengirim aku kembali ke penjara di rumah Yonatan itu, nanti aku mati di sana."
21 And he commanded the king Zedekiah and they deposited Jeremiah in [the] courtyard of the guard and they gave to him a round loaf of bread to the day from [the] street of the bakers until was finished all the bread from the city and he remained Jeremiah in [the] courtyard of the guard.
Maka Raja Zedekia memerintahkan supaya aku dipenjarakan di pelataran istana. Jadi aku tinggal di situ, dan setiap hari diberi roti dari tempat pembuatan roti sampai persediaan roti di kota itu telah habis semuanya.
