Jeremiah 33
1 While I was still being guarded in the courtyard of the palace, Yahweh gave me this second message:
Datanglah firman TUHAN untuk kedua kalinya kepada Yeremia, ketika ia masih terkurung di pelataran penjagaan itu, bunyinya:
2 “This is what I, the one who made the earth, who formed/shaped it and put it in its place, say [to the people of Jerusalem]: ‘My name is Yahweh.
"Beginilah firman TUHAN, yang telah menjadikan bumi dengan membentuknya dan menegakkannya--TUHAN ialah nama-Nya--:
3 Call out to me, and [then] I will tell you great and wonderful things that you have not known [before].’
Berserulah kepada-Ku, maka Aku akan menjawab engkau dan akan memberitahukan kepadamu hal-hal yang besar dan yang tidak terpahami, yakni hal-hal yang tidak kauketahui.
4 This is what [I, ] Yahweh, the God whom [you] Israeli people [say you belong to], say: ‘[The men in this city] have torn down [some of] their houses, and [even parts of] the king’s palace, to get materials to strengthen the walls around the city, in order that [the soldiers of Babylonia will not be able to break through the walls after they climb up] the ramps that they have built against the walls, and [kill the inhabitants with] their swords.
Sebab beginilah firman TUHAN, Allah Israel, mengenai rumah-rumah di kota ini dan mengenai gedung-gedung istana raja Yehuda yang dirobohkan untuk dipakai terhadap tembok-tembok pengepungan dan pedang:
5 You are expecting to fight against the army from Babylonia, but [what will happen is that] the houses of this city will be filled with the corpses of the men of this city whom I will [allow to be killed] because I am extremely angry [DOU] with them. I have abandoned them because of all the wicked things that they have done.
Orang akan masuk pertempuran melawan orang-orang Kasdim dan kota ini akan penuh dengan bangkai-bangkai manusia yang telah Kupukul mati karena murka-Ku dan kehangatan amarah-Ku, sebab Aku telah menyembunyikan wajah-Ku dari kota ini oleh karena segala kejahatan mereka.
6 However, [there will be a time when] I will cause the people in this city to be healthy and strong again. I will enable them to be prosperous and have peace.
Sesungguhnya, Aku akan mendatangkan kepada mereka kesehatan dan kesembuhan, dan Aku akan menyembuhkan mereka dan akan menyingkapkan kepada mereka kesejahteraan dan keamanan yang berlimpah-limpah.
7 I will bring the people of Judah and Israel back from the lands to which they were exiled. I will enable them to rebuild their towns.
Aku akan memulihkan keadaan Yehuda dan Israel dan akan membangun mereka seperti dahulu:
8 I will get rid of their guilt for all the sins that they have committed against me, and I will forgive them for their sin of rebelling against me.
Aku akan mentahirkan mereka dari segala kesalahan yang mereka lakukan dengan berdosa terhadap Aku, dan Aku akan mengampuni segala kesalahan yang mereka lakukan dengan berdosa dan dengan memberontak terhadap Aku.
9 [When that happens], all the nations of the world will rejoice, and they will praise me and honor me. They will hear about all the good things that I have done for this city and, because of that, they will revere me, and they will tremble because I have caused [the people in this city] to have peace and to prosper.’
Dan kota ini akan menjadi pokok kegirangan: ternama, terpuji dan terhormat bagi-Ku di depan segala bangsa di bumi yang telah mendengar tentang segala kebajikan yang Kulakukan kepadanya; mereka akan terkejut dan gemetar karena segala kebajikan dan segala kesejahteraan yang Kulakukan kepadanya.
10 And this is also what [I], Yahweh, say: ‘You people have said that this is a land where there are no [longer] any people or animals. But in the streets of Jerusalem that are now completely empty [DOU], and in the [other] towns in Judah,
Beginilah firman TUHAN: Di tempat ini, yang kamu katakan telah menjadi reruntuhan tanpa manusia dan tanpa hewan, di kota-kota Yehuda dan di jalan-jalan Yerusalem yang sunyi sepi itu tanpa manusia, tanpa penduduk dan tanpa hewan,
11 [some day] people will again be happy and laugh. Brides and bridegrooms will [again] sing [joyfully]. And many other people will also sing joyfully as they bring their offerings to me to thank me [for what I have done for them]. [They will sing this song]: “[We] thank you, the Commander of the armies of angels, because you are good [to us]. You faithfully love [us] forever.” [They will sing that] because I will cause [the people of] land to be as prosperous as they were before.’
akan terdengar lagi suara kegirangan dan suara sukacita, suara pengantin laki-laki dan suara pengantin perempuan, suara orang-orang yang mengatakan: Bersyukurlah kepada TUHAN semesta alam, sebab TUHAN itu baik, bahwasanya untuk selama-lamanya kasih setia-Nya!, sambil mempersembahkan korban syukur di rumah TUHAN. Sebab Aku akan memulihkan keadaan negeri ini seperti dahulu, firman TUHAN.
12 This land is [now] desolate. There are no people or animals living here. But [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, say this: ‘In this land there will again be pastures/fields where shepherds will lead their sheep.
Beginilah firman TUHAN semesta alam: Di daerah ini, yang sudah menjadi reruntuhan, tanpa manusia dan tanpa hewan, dan di segala kotanya akan ada lagi padang rumput bagi gembala-gembala yang membaringkan kambing domba di situ.
13 Shepherds will again count their sheep as the sheep walk by, outside the towns in the hilly area, in the western foothills, in the southern desert area, in the land [where the descendants] of Benjamin live, around Jerusalem, and outside [all] the [other] towns in Judah.’ [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.
Di kota-kota Pegunungan, di kota-kota Daerah Bukit, di kota-kota Tanah Negeb, di daerah Benyamin, di sekitar Yerusalem dan di kota-kota Yehuda, kambing domba akan lewat lagi dari bawah tangan orang yang menghitungnya, demikianlah firman TUHAN."
14 Listen to this! [I], Yahweh, say that there will be a time when I will do for the people of Israel and Judah [all the good things that] I promised to do [for them].
"Sesungguhnya, waktunya akan datang, demikianlah firman TUHAN, bahwa Aku akan menepati janji yang telah Kukatakan kepada kaum Israel dan kaum Yehuda.
15 At that time [DOU] I will appoint a righteous man who will be a descendant [MET] of King David. Throughout the land, he will do what is just and right.
Pada waktu itu dan pada masa itu Aku akan menumbuhkan Tunas keadilan bagi Daud. Ia akan melaksanakan keadilan dan kebenaran di negeri.
16 At that time, [the people of] Judah will be rescued [from their enemies], and [the people of] Jerusalem will be safe. And people will say that the name of the city is ‘Yahweh [is the one who] vindicates/defends us’.
Pada waktu itu Yehuda akan dibebaskan, dan Yerusalem akan hidup dengan tenteram. Dan dengan nama inilah mereka akan dipanggil: TUHAN keadilan kita!
17 And this is [also] what [I], Yahweh, say: ‘There will be descendants of King David ruling [MTY] Israel forever.
Sebab beginilah firman TUHAN: Keturunan Daud tidak akan terputus duduk di atas takhta kerajaan kaum Israel!
18 And there will always be priests who are descendants of Levi who [stand] in front of me and offer sacrifices that will be completely burned [on the altar] and who will burn grain offerings and [other] sacrifices.’”
Dan keturunan imam-imam orang Lewi tidak akan terputus mempersembahkan korban bakaran di hadapan-Ku dan membakar korban sajian dan mengorbankan korban sembelihan sepanjang masa."
19 [Then] Yahweh gave me this message:
Firman TUHAN datang kepada Yeremia, bunyinya:
20 “This is what [I], Yahweh, say: ‘[You] certainly cannot annul my promise/agreement to cause nighttime to follow daytime each day.
"Beginilah firman TUHAN: Jika kamu dapat mengingkari perjanjian-Ku dengan siang dan perjanjian-Ku dengan malam, sehingga siang dan malam tidak datang lagi pada waktunya,
21 Similarly, you cannot annul the promise/agreement [that I made] with King David, who served me [well], that there will always be descendants of his who will rule [Judah]. The same is true for my agreement with the descendants of Levi who are priests who do work for me.
maka juga perjanjian-Ku dengan hamba-Ku Daud dapat diingkari, sehingga ia tidak mempunyai anak lagi yang memerintah di atas takhtanya; begitu juga perjanjian-Ku dengan orang-orang Lewi, yakni imam-imam yang menjadi pelayan-Ku.
22 No one can count the stars in the sky, and no one can count the grains of sand at the seashore. Similarly, I will cause there to be a huge number of priests who are descendants of David and descendants of Levi who will work for me.’”
Seperti tentara langit tidak terbilang dan seperti pasir laut tidak tertakar, demikianlah Aku akan membuat banyak keturunan hamba-Ku Daud dan orang-orang Lewi yang melayani Aku."
23 Yahweh gave another message to me. He said,
Firman TUHAN datang kepada Yeremia, bunyinya:
24 “Have you noticed/heard that some people are saying, ‘Yahweh chose two groups, the people [of Judah] and the people [of Israel], and [later] abandoned them.’ They are despising my people and saying that Israel no longer deserves to be considered a nation.
"Tidakkah kauperhatikan apa yang dikatakan orang-orang ini: Kedua kaum keluarga yang dipilih TUHAN itu telah ditolak-Nya? Dengan demikian mereka menghina umat-Ku, dianggapnya bukan suatu bangsa lagi.
25 But this is what I say: ‘I will not change my laws that control the day and the night, the sky and the earth.
Beginilah firman TUHAN: Jika Aku tidak menetapkan perjanjian-Ku dengan siang dan malam dan aturan langit dan bumi,
26 Similarly, I will never abandon the descendants of David or the [other] descendants of Jacob, and I will always allow descendants of David to rule the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I will bring my people back to their land, and I will act mercifully toward them.’”
maka juga Aku pasti akan menolak keturunan Yakub dan hamba-Ku Daud, sehingga berhenti mengangkat dari keturunannya orang-orang yang memerintah atas keturunan Abraham, Ishak dan Yakub. Sebab Aku akan memulihkan keadaan mereka dan menyayangi mereka."
