Yeremia 30
1 TUHAN, Allah Israel,
The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
2 berkata kepadaku, "Tulislah dalam sebuah buku semua yang telah Kukatakan kepadamu.
"Thus speaks the LORD, the God of Israel, saying, 'Write all the words that I have spoken to you in 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, look, the days come, says the LORD, that I will turn again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah,' says the LORD; 'and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.'"
4 TUHAN berkata kepada umat Israel dan Yehuda,
These are the words that the LORD spoke concerning Israel and concerning Judah.
5 "Aku telah mendengar jeritan orang yang gentar, jeritan orang ketakutan yang tidak mempunyai kedamaian.
For thus says the LORD: "We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of 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?
Ask now, and see whether a man does travail with child: why do I see every man with his hands on his waist, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness?
7 Hari dahsyat telah tiba, hari yang tak ada taranya. Bagi umat-Ku, itu hari yang mencemaskan; tapi mereka akan Kuselamatkan."
Alas, for that day is great, so that none is like it. It is even the time of Jacob's trouble; but he shall be 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.
It shall come to pass in that day," says the LORD of hosts, "that I will break his yoke from off your neck, and will burst your bonds; and strangers shall no more make him their bondservant;
9 Kamu akan mengabdi kepada-Ku, TUHAN Allahmu, dan kepada seorang keturunan Daud yang akan Kuangkat sebagai raja.
but they shall serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom I will 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.
Therefore do not be afraid, O Jacob my servant, says the LORD; neither be dismayed, Israel: for, look, I will save you from afar, and your descendants from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be quiet and at ease, and none shall make him afraid.
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, says the LORD, to save you: for I will make a full end of all the nations where I have scattered you, but I will not make a full end of you; but I will correct you in measure, and will in no way leave you unpunished."
12 TUHAN berkata kepada umat-Nya: "Penyakitmu sangat parah, bagi lukamu tak ada obatnya.
For thus says the LORD, "Your hurt is incurable, and your wound grievous.
13 Tak seorang pun sudi memperjuangkan kesembuhanmu, tiada obat untuk bisul-bisulmu, tiada harapan bagimu untuk sembuh.
There is none to plead your cause, that you may be bound up: you have no healing medicines.
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 your lovers have forgotten you; they do not seek you: for I have wounded you with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the greatness of your iniquity, because your sins were increased.
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 for your hurt? Your pain is incurable: for the greatness of your iniquity, because your sins were increased, I have done these things 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 those who devour you shall be devoured; and all your adversaries, everyone of them, shall go into captivity; and those who plunder you shall be plundered, and all who prey on you I will make a prey.
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 will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds," says the LORD; "because they have called you an outcast, saying, 'It is Zion, whom no man seeks after.'"
18 TUHAN berkata lagi: "Kamu, umat-Ku akan Kukasihani dan Kupulihkan keadaanmu di tanah airmu sendiri. Yerusalem akan dibangun lagi, dan istananya diperbaiki.
Thus says the LORD: "Look, I will turn again the captivity of Jacob's tents, and have compassion on his dwelling places; and the city shall be built on its own hill, and the palace shall be inhabited in its own way.
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.
Out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of those who make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small.
20 Bangsamu akan Kujadikan jaya seperti dahulu, dan berdiri lagi sebagai umat-Ku. Semua yang menindasnya akan Kuhukum juga.
Their children also shall be as before, and their congregation shall be established before me; and I will punish all who oppress them.
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."
Their prince shall be of themselves, and their ruler shall proceed from their midst; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach to me: for who is he who has had boldness to approach to me? says the LORD.
You shall be my people, and I will be your 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.
Look, the storm of the LORD, his wrath, has gone forth, a sweeping storm: it shall burst on the head of the wicked.
The fierce anger of the LORD will not return, until he has executed, and until he has performed the intentions of his heart. In the latter days you will understand it.
