Yeremia 12
1 "Jika aku mengajukan perkaraku di hadapan-Mu, ya TUHAN, tentulah akan terbukti bahwa Engkaulah yang benar. Tapi aku ingin juga menanyakan kepada-Mu soal keadilan: Mengapa orang jahat makmur? Mengapa justru orang tak jujur yang berhasil?
[are] righteous You O Yahweh if I bring a case to you nevertheless judgments I will speak with you why? [the] way of wicked [people] does it prosper are they at ease? all [those who] act treacherously of treachery.
2 Kautanam mereka seperti tumbuh-tumbuhan, lalu mereka berakar, bertumbuh, dan berbuah. Mereka selalu berbicara yang baik-baik tentang diri-Mu, tetapi dalam hati, mereka sebenarnya tidak peduli kepada-Mu.
You have planted them also they have taken root they walk also they have produced fruit [are] near you in mouth their and distant from kidneys their.
3 Tetapi Engkau, ya TUHAN, mengenal aku. Engkau melihat apa yang kulakukan, dan Engkau mengetahui bagaimana perasaan hatiku terhadap-Mu. Giringlah orang-orang jahat itu keluar, bawalah mereka seperti domba ke pembantaian. Jagalah mereka sampai tiba waktunya mereka disembelih.
And you O Yahweh you know me you see me and you test heart my with you drag away them like sheep to slaughter and set apart them to a day of slaughter.
4 Sampai berapa lama lagi negeri ini kering, dan rumputnya layu di setiap ladang? Burung dan binatang lainnya mati karena kejahatan bangsa kami. Mereka berkata, bahwa aku tidak akan melihat nasib mereka."
Until when? will it dry up the land and [the] vegetation of every field will it be dried up from [the] evil of [those who] dwell in it it has dwindled away animals and bird[s] for people have said not he will see end our.
5 TUHAN berkata, "Yeremia, jika engkau menjadi lelah berlomba dengan manusia, mana mungkin engkau berlomba dengan kuda? Jika di tanah yang aman engkau ketakutan, apakah yang akan kaulakukan apabila kau berada di hutan belukar di tepi Yordan?
If with foot soldiers - you have run and they have made weary you and how? will you compete with the horses and in a land of safety you [are] falling to [the] ground and how? will you do in [the] thicket of the Jordan.
6 Engkau sudah dikhianati bahkan oleh sanak saudaramu sendiri; mereka ikut menyerang engkau. Janganlah percaya kepada mereka, meskipun kata-kata mereka manis."
For also brothers your and [the] house of father your also they they have dealt treacherously with you also they they have called out after you full may not you trust in them for they speak to you good things.
7 TUHAN berkata, "Tempat tinggal-Ku tidak lagi Kupedulikan, negeri yang menjadi milik-Ku telah Kutinggalkan, dan umat-Ku yang Kukasihi telah Kuserahkan ke tangan musuh-musuhnya.
I have forsaken house my I have abandoned inheritance my I have given [the] beloved one of self my in [the] hand enemies her.
8 Umat pilihan-Ku melawan Aku; seperti singa di rimba demikianlah mereka mengaum terhadap-Ku. Itulah sebabnya Aku membenci mereka.
It has become to me inheritance my like a lion in the forest it has given on me with voice its there-fore I hate it.
9 Mereka seperti burung yang diserang oleh elang dari segala pihak. Panggillah segala binatang hutan untuk turut menghabiskan mereka.
¿ A bird of prey speckled [is] inheritance my to me that [are] bird[s] of prey? all around on it go gather every animal of the field bring [them] for food.
10 Banyak penguasa asing telah merusak kebun anggur-Ku dan menginjak-injak ladang-ladang-Ku. Negeri-Ku yang indah mereka ubah menjadi padang gurun yang sepi.
Shepherds many they have ruined vineyard my they have trodden down portion my they have made [the] portion of desire my into a wilderness of desolation.
11 Ya, Aku melihat mereka menjadikan negeri-Ku tempat sepi yang menyedihkan. Seluruhnya terlantar, tak ada yang memperhatikan.
He has made it into a desolation it is in mourning on me desolate it has been made desolate all the land for there not [is] anyone [who] puts [it] on heart.
12 Dari seberang padang gurun di pegunungan, orang-orang datang untuk merampok. Aku mendatangkan peperangan untuk merusak seluruh negeri sehingga tak seorang pun dapat hidup damai.
Over all [the] bare heights in the wilderness they have come destroyers for a sword of Yahweh [is] devouring from an end of [the] land and to [the] end of the land not peace [belongs] to any flesh.
13 Umat-Ku menabur gandum, tapi durilah yang dituai. Mereka bersusah payah tapi usahanya tidak berhasil. Aku sangat murka sehingga panenan mereka gagal."
People have sown wheat and thorns they have reaped they have wearied themselves not they have profited and be ashamed from produce your from [the] burning of [the] anger of Yahweh.
14 TUHAN berkata, "Inilah pesan-Ku tentang negara-negara tetangga Israel yang telah merusak negeri yang Kuberikan kepada umat-Ku Israel. Seperti tanaman yang dicabut dari tanah, demikianlah orang-orang jahat itu akan Kukeluarkan dari negeri-negeri mereka, dan Yehuda akan Kulepaskan dari genggaman mereka.
Thus - he says Yahweh on all neighbors my evil who touch the inheritance which I gave as an inheritance people my Israel here I [am] about to pluck up them from on land their and [the] house of Judah I will pluck up from among them.
15 Tetapi setelah mengeluarkan mereka, Aku akan mengasihani mereka lagi; setiap bangsa akan Kubawa kembali ke negerinya sendiri.
And it will be after have plucked up I them I will return and I will have compassion on them and I will bring back them everyone to own inheritance his and everyone to own land his.
16 Jika mereka dengan sepenuh hati mau menerima agama umat-Ku dan mau bersumpah dengan berkata, 'Demi TUHAN yang hidup,' --seperti dahulu mereka mengajar umat-Ku bersumpah demi Baal--maka mereka pun akan tergolong umat-Ku dan menjadi makmur.
And it will be certainly [if] they will learn [the] ways of people my to swear by name my [by] [the] life of Yahweh just as they taught people my to swear by Baal and they will be built in among people my.
17 Tetapi bangsa yang tidak mau menuruti Aku, akan Kucabut seperti tanaman dan Kupunahkan. Aku, TUHAN, telah berbicara."
And if not they will listen and I will pluck up the nation that plucking up and destroying [the] utterance of Yahweh.
