Yeremia 30
1 TUHAN, Allah Israel,
The word that has been to Jeremiah from YHWH, saying,
2 berkata kepadaku, "Tulislah dalam sebuah buku semua yang telah Kukatakan kepadamu.
“Thus spoke YHWH, God of Israel, saying, Write for yourself all the words that I have spoken to you on a scroll.
3 Sebab akan tiba waktunya Aku memulihkan keadaan umat-Ku Israel dan Yehuda. Aku akan membawa mereka kembali ke negeri yang telah Kuberikan kepada leluhur mereka. Negeri itu akan mereka miliki kembali. Aku, TUHAN, telah berbicara."
For behold, days are coming—a declaration of YHWH—and I have turned back [to] the captivity of My people Israel and Judah, said YHWH, and I have caused them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they possess it.”
4 TUHAN berkata kepada umat Israel dan Yehuda,
And these [are] the words that YHWH has spoken concerning Israel and concerning Judah:
5 "Aku telah mendengar jeritan orang yang gentar, jeritan orang ketakutan yang tidak mempunyai kedamaian.
Surely thus said YHWH: “We have heard a voice of trembling, Fear—and there is no peace.
6 Cobalah pikir dan selidiki! Mungkinkah laki-laki melahirkan bayi? Kalau begitu, mengapa Kulihat setiap laki-laki berwajah pucat pasi dan menahan perutnya dengan tangan seperti wanita yang hendak melahirkan?
Now ask and see, is a male bringing forth? Why have I seen every man [With] his hands on his loins, as a travailing woman, And all faces have been turned to paleness?
7 Hari dahsyat telah tiba, hari yang tak ada taranya. Bagi umat-Ku, itu hari yang mencemaskan; tapi mereka akan Kuselamatkan."
Woe! For that day [is] great, without any like it, Indeed, it [is] the time of Jacob’s tribulation, Yet he is saved out of it.
8 TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa berkata lagi kepada umat-Nya, "Apabila tiba hari itu, gandar yang dikenakan pada tengkukmu akan Kupatahkan, dan belenggumu akan Kulepaskan. Kamu tidak akan menjadi budak orang asing lagi.
And it has come to pass in that day, A declaration of YHWH of Hosts, I break his yoke from off your neck, And I draw away your bands, And strangers lay no more service on him.
9 Kamu akan mengabdi kepada-Ku, TUHAN Allahmu, dan kepada seorang keturunan Daud yang akan Kuangkat sebagai raja.
And they have served their God YHWH, And David their king whom I raise up to them.
10 Umat-Ku Israel, janganlah takut! Hamba-Ku Yakub, jangan gentar! Kamu dan keturunanmu akan Kuselamatkan dari negeri jauh, tempat kamu ditawan. Kamu akan pulang dan tinggal di negerimu dengan aman. Kamu akan hidup dengan tentram; tak ada yang perlu kamu takutkan.
And you, do not be afraid, My servant Jacob, A declaration of YHWH, Nor be frightened, O Israel, For behold, I am saving you from afar, And your seed from the land of their captivity, And Jacob has turned back and rested, And is quiet, and there is none troubling.
11 Aku akan datang dan kamu akan Kuselamatkan. Bangsa-bangsa, tempat kamu Kuceraiberaikan semuanya akan Kubinasakan, tapi kamu tidak Kuperlakukan demikian. Memang kamu tidak akan luput dari hukuman tetapi hukuman-Ku kepadamu adalah adil sesuai dengan ketentuan. Aku, TUHAN, telah berbicara."
For I [am] with you,” A declaration of YHWH, “To save you, For I make an end of all the nations To where I have scattered you, Only, I do not make an end of you, And I have disciplined you in judgment, And do not entirely acquit you.”
12 TUHAN berkata kepada umat-Nya: "Penyakitmu sangat parah, bagi lukamu tak ada obatnya.
For thus said YHWH: “Your breach is incurable, your stroke grievous,
13 Tak seorang pun sudi memperjuangkan kesembuhanmu, tiada obat untuk bisul-bisulmu, tiada harapan bagimu untuk sembuh.
There is none judging your cause to bind up, There are no healing medicines for you.
14 Semua kekasihmu telah lupa padamu; mereka tak mau lagi memikirkan dirimu. Seperti musuh Aku telah menyerang dan menghukum kamu dengan kejam, karena banyaklah dosamu dan besar kesalahanmu.
All loving you have forgotten you, They do not seek you, For I struck you with the stroke of an enemy, The discipline of a fierce one, Because of the abundance of your iniquity, your sins have been mighty!
15 Janganlah lagi mengeluh mengenai luka-lukamu, sebab bagimu tak ada harapan sembuh. Kamu Kuhukum begitu karena banyaklah dosamu dan besar kesalahanmu.
Why do you cry concerning your breach? Your pain [is] incurable, Because of the abundance of your iniquity, Your sins have been mighty! I have done these to you.
16 Tapi sekarang semua yang menelanmu akan ditelan, dan semua musuhmu akan diangkut ke pembuangan. Aku akan menindas yang menindasmu, Aku akan merampok yang merampokmu.
Therefore all consuming you are consumed, And all your adversaries—all of them—Go into captivity, And your spoilers have been for a spoil, And I give up all your plunderers to plunder.
17 Sekalipun musuhmu berkata, 'Sion telah dibuang, dan tak ada yang memperhatikan,' namun kamu akan Kubuat sehat kembali, dan luka-lukamu akan kuobati."
For I increase health to you, And I heal you from your strokes,” A declaration of YHWH, “For they have called you an outcast, [saying], It [is] Zion, There is none seeking for her.”
18 TUHAN berkata lagi: "Kamu, umat-Ku akan Kukasihani dan Kupulihkan keadaanmu di tanah airmu sendiri. Yerusalem akan dibangun lagi, dan istananya diperbaiki.
Thus said YHWH: “Behold, I turn back [to] the captivity of the tents of Jacob, And I pity his dwelling places, And the city has been built on its heap, And the palace remains according to its ordinance.
19 Penduduknya akan memuji Aku dengan nyanyian, dan bersorak-sorai dengan riang. Aku membuat mereka dihormati dan tidak lagi dihina, dan jumlah mereka akan terus bertambah.
And thanksgiving has gone forth from them, And the voice of playful ones, And I have multiplied them and they are not few, And made them honorable, and they are not small.
20 Bangsamu akan Kujadikan jaya seperti dahulu, dan berdiri lagi sebagai umat-Ku. Semua yang menindasnya akan Kuhukum juga.
And his sons have been as before, And his congregation is established before Me, And I have seen after all his oppressors.
21 Raja yang memerintah kamu berasal dari bangsamu. Dengan bebas ia akan mendekati Aku apabila ia Kupanggil menghadap-Ku. Sebab siapakah yang berani menghadap Aku atas kemauannya sendiri? Kamu akan menjadi umat-Ku dan Aku menjadi Allahmu. Aku, TUHAN yang mengatakan itu."
And his majestic one has been of himself, And his ruler goes forth from his midst, And I have caused him to draw near, And he has drawn near to Me, For who [is] he who has pledged his heart To draw near to Me?” A declaration of YHWH.
“And you have been to Me for a people, And I am to you for God.”
23 Kemarahan TUHAN bagaikan badai, bagaikan angin ribut yang mengamuk menimpa orang-orang jahat, dan tak akan reda sebelum segala rencana-Nya terlaksana. Di kemudian hari umat-Nya akan memahami hal itu.
Behold, a whirlwind of YHWH—Fury has gone forth—a cutting whirlwind, It stays on the head of the wicked.
The fierceness of the anger of YHWH Does not turn back until He has done [it], Indeed, until His establishing the purposes of His heart. In the latter end of the days you consider it!
