< Jeremiah 46 >

1 Which it came [the] word of Yahweh to Jeremiah the prophet on the nations.
Firman TUHAN yang datang kepada nabi Yeremia tentang bangsa-bangsa.
2 Of Egypt on [the] army of Pharaoh Necho [the] king of Egypt which it was at [the] river of Euphrates at Carchemish which he struck down Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon in [the] year fourth of Jehoiakim [the] son of Josiah [the] king of Judah.
Mengenai Mesir. Terhadap tentara Firaun Nekho, raja Mesir, yang berkemah di tepi sungai Efrat dekat Karkemis dan yang dipukul kalah oleh Nebukadnezar, raja Babel, dalam tahun yang keempat pemerintahan Yoyakim bin Yosia, raja Yehuda:
3 Set in order shield and body shield and draw near for battle.
"Siapkanlah perisai besar dan perisai kecil dan majulah untuk bertempur!
4 Harness the horses and mount the warhorses and take your stand with helmets polish the spears put on the armor.
Pasanglah kuda, dan naiklah, hai pengendara-pengendara! Ambillah tempatmu dengan memakai ketopong, tajamkanlah tombakmu, pakailah baju zirahmu!
5 Why? have I seen they [will be] terrified [they will be] turned back backwards and warriors their they will be crushed and flight they will flee and not they will turn back terror [will be] from round about [the] utterance of Yahweh.
Mengapa kulihat mereka terkejut, mundur ke belakang? Pahlawan-pahlawan mereka terpukul kalah, lari kocar-kacir, tanpa menoleh; kedahsyatan dari segala jurusan!, demikianlah firman TUHAN.
6 May not he flee the swift [one] and may not he escape the warrior north-ward on [the] side of [the] river of Euphrates they will stumble and they will fall.
Orang yang tangkas tidak dapat melarikan diri, pahlawan tidak dapat meluputkan diri; di utara, di tepi sungai Efratlah mereka tersandung dan rebah.
7 Who? [is] this [who] like the River he rises like rivers they surge waters his.
Siapakah ini yang meluas seperti sungai Nil dan yang airnya bergelora seperti sungai-sungai?
8 Egypt like the River it rises and like rivers they surge waters and it has said I will rise I will cover [the] earth I will destroy a city and [the] inhabitants in it.
Itulah Mesir yang meluas seperti sungai Nil, dan yang airnya bergelora seperti sungai-sungai. Ia berkata: Aku mau meluas menutupi bumi, membinasakan kota dan penduduknya.
9 Go up O horses and drive madly O chariotry so they may go forth the warriors Cush and Put [who] wield a shield and Ludites [who] wield [those who] bend a bow.
Majulah, hai kuda-kuda! Melajulah, hai kereta-kereta! Majulah berperang, hai pahlawan-pahlawan, hai kamu orang Etiopia dan orang Put yang memegang perisai, dan orang Lidia yang membentur busur!
10 And the day that [belongs] to [the] Lord Yahweh of hosts a day of vengeance to avenge himself from opponents his and it will devour [the] sword and it will be satisfied and it will take its fill from blood their for a sacrifice of [the] Lord Yahweh of hosts [will be] in [the] land of [the] north to [the] river of Euphrates.
Hari itu ialah hari Tuhan ALLAH semesta alam, hari pembalasan untuk melakukan pembalasan kepada para lawan-Nya. Pedang akan makan sampai kenyang, dan akan puas minum darah mereka. Sebab Tuhan ALLAH semesta alam mengadakan korban penyembelihan di tanah utara, dekat sungai Efrat.
11 Go up Gilead and acquire balm O virgin of [the] daughter of Egypt for vanity (you have multiplied *Q(K)*) remedies [is] healing there not for you.
Pergilah ke Gilead mengambil balsam, hai anak dara, puteri Mesir! Sia-sia engkau memakai banyak obat, kesembuhan tidak akan kaudapat!
12 They will hear nations shame your and outcry your it will be full the earth for warrior over warrior they will stumble together they will fall both of them.
Bangsa-bangsa telah mendengar tentang celamu, bumi telah penuh dengan teriakmu, sebab pahlawan yang satu tersandung kepada pahlawan yang lain, keduanya rebah bersama-sama."
13 The word which he spoke Yahweh to Jeremiah the prophet of [the] coming of Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon to strike [the] land of Egypt.
Firman yang disampaikan TUHAN kepada nabi Yeremia tentang datangnya Nebukadnezar, raja Babel, untuk memukul kalah tanah Mesir:
14 Declare in Egypt and make a proclamation in Migdol and make a proclamation in Memphis and in Tahpanhes say take your stand and prepare yourself for it will devour [the] sword around you.
"Beritahukanlah di Mesir, dan kabarkanlah di Migdol! Kabarkanlah di Memfis dan di Tahpanhes! Katakanlah: Ambillah tempat dan bersiaplah, sebab sekitarmu habis dimakan pedang!
15 Why? will he be prostrated mighty [ones] your not he will stand for Yahweh he will push him.
Mengapa Apis melarikan diri, tidakkah sanggup sapi jantanmu bertahan? Sungguh, TUHAN telah menundukkan dia!
16 He will multiply [one who] stumbles also he will fall each to neighbor his and they said arise! - so let us return to people our and to [the] land of kindred our because of [the] sword of the oppressor.
Banyak dari padamu yang tersandung dan rebah, mereka berkata seorang kepada yang lain: Marilah kita pulang kepada bangsa kita, ke negeri kelahiran kita, untuk mengelakkan pedang yang merajalela ini!
17 People will call out there Pharaoh [the] king of Egypt [is] a noise he has let pass by the appointed time.
Sebutlah nama Firaun, raja Mesir: Tukang ribut yang membiarkan kesempatan berlalu!
18 [by] [the] life Of me [the] utterance of the king [is] Yahweh of hosts name his that like Tabor among the mountains and like Carmel at the sea he will come.
Demi Aku yang hidup, demikianlah firman Raja yang nama-Nya TUHAN semesta alam, ia akan datang seperti gunung Tabor yang menjulang di antara gunung-gunung lain, seperti gunung Karmel yang menganjur ke laut.
19 Baggage of exile make for yourself O inhabitant[s] [the] daughter of Egypt for Memphis a waste it will become and it will be made desolate from not inhabitant.
Siapkanlah bagimu barang-barang untuk perjalananmu ke pembuangan, hai puteri Mesir yang sudah lama menetap! Sebab Memfis akan menjadi sunyi sepi, dijadikan reruntuhan yang tidak berpenduduk lagi.
20 [is] a heifer Beautifully beautiful Egypt a gadfly from [the] north [is] about to come [is] about to come.
Mesir adalah lembu muda yang elok, tetapi seekor pikat dari utara mendatangi dia.
21 Also hired soldiers its in midst its [are] like calves of [the] stall for also they they will turn they will flee together not they will stand their ground for [the] day of disaster their it will come on them [the] time of punishment their.
Juga prajurit-prajurit upahan yang ada padanya adalah seperti anak-anak lembu tambun; merekapun berbalik dan melarikan diri bersama-sama; mereka tidak dapat bertahan, sebab hari bencana mereka menimpa mereka, yakni waktu penghukuman mereka.
22 Sound its [is] like snake [which] it goes for with an army they will come and with axes they will come to it like cutters of wood.
Suaranya seperti ular yang mendesis, apabila mereka berjalan maju dengan bertentara; mereka mendatangi dia dengan membawa kapak seperti orang-orang penebang pohon.
23 They will cut down forest its [the] utterance of Yahweh that not it will be searched for they will be many more than locust[s] and not [belonged] to them number.
Mereka menebang hutannya, demikianlah firman TUHAN, sekalipun itu tidak dapat dimasuki; sebab lebih banyak mereka dari pada belalang, tidak terbilang jumlahnya.
24 It will be put to shame [the] daughter of Egypt it will be given in [the] hand of [the] people of [the] north.
Puteri Mesir menjadi malu, diserahkan ke dalam tangan bangsa dari utara."
25 He says Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel here I [am] about to visit [judgment] to Amon from Thebes and on Pharaoh and on Egypt and on gods its and on kings its and on Pharaoh and on the [ones who] trust in him.
TUHAN semesta alam, Allah Israel, berfirman: "Sesungguhnya, Aku mendatangkan hukuman atas dewa Amon dari Tebe, atas Firaun beserta Mesir, dewa-dewanya dan raja-rajanya, yakni atas Firaun beserta orang-orang yang percaya kepadanya.
26 And I will give them in [the] hand of [those who] seek life their and in [the] hand of Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon and in [the] hand of servants his and after thus it will settle like days of antiquity [the] utterance of Yahweh.
Aku akan menyerahkan mereka ke dalam tangan orang-orang yang berusaha mencabut nyawa mereka, yakni ke dalam tangan Nebukadnezar, raja Babel, dan para pegawainya. Tetapi sesudahnya negeri itu akan didiami seperti dalam zaman purbakala, demikianlah firman TUHAN.
27 And you may not you fear O servant my Jacob and may not you be dismayed O Israel for here I [am] about to save you from a distant [land] and offspring your from [the] land of captivity their and he will return Jacob and he will be undisturbed and he will be at ease and there not [will be one who] terrifies.
Maka engkau, janganlah takut, hai hamba-Ku Yakub, janganlah gentar, hai Israel! Sebab sesungguhnya, Aku menyelamatkan engkau dari tempat jauh dan keturunanmu dari negeri pembuangan mereka. Yakub akan kembali dan hidup tenang dan aman, dengan tidak ada yang mengejutkan.
28 You may not you fear O servant my Jacob [the] utterance of Yahweh that [am] with you I that I will make complete destruction on all the nations - where I have driven away you there towards and you not I will make complete destruction and I will discipline you to justice and certainly not I will leave unpunished you.
Maka engkau, janganlah takut, hai hamba-Ku Yakub, demikianlah firman TUHAN, sebab Aku menyertai engkau: segala bangsa yang ke antaranya engkau Kuceraiberaikan akan Kuhabiskan, tetapi engkau ini tidak akan Kuhabiskan. Aku akan menghajar engkau menurut hukum, tetapi Aku sama sekali tidak memandang engkau tak bersalah."
