Yeremia 36
1 Pada tahun keempat setelah Yoyakim anak Yosia menjadi raja Yehuda, TUHAN berkata kepadaku,
And it happened in the fourth year of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, the king of Judah: it happened that this word came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying:
2 "Ambillah sebuah buku gulungan, dan tulislah di situ semua yang telah Kukatakan kepadamu tentang Israel dan Yehuda, dan tentang segala bangsa. Tulislah semua perkataan-Ku sejak Aku pertama kali berbicara kepadamu pada masa pemerintahan Raja Yosia sampai hari ini.
“Take the volume of a book, and you shall write in it all the words that I have spoken to you against Israel and Judah, and against all the nations, from the day when I first spoke to you, from the days of Josiah, even to this day.
3 Barangkali orang Yehuda akan berhenti berbuat jahat apabila mereka mendengar tentang semua bencana yang akan Kutimpakan ke atas mereka. Maka Aku akan mengampuni dosa dan kejahatan mereka."
Perhaps it may be that the house of Judah, upon hearing all the evils that I have decided to do to them, may return, each one from his wicked way, and then I will forgive their iniquity and their sin.”
4 Karena itu aku memanggil Barukh anak Neria dan mendiktekan kepadanya semua yang dikatakan TUHAN kepadaku. Maka Barukh menulis semuanya pada buku gulungan itu.
Therefore, Jeremiah called Baruch, the son of Neriah, and Baruch wrote, from the mouth of Jeremiah, all the words of the Lord, which he had spoken to him, in the volume of a book.
5 Kemudian aku memberi perintah ini kepadanya, "Aku tidak diizinkan lagi memasuki Rumah TUHAN.
And Jeremiah instructed Baruch, saying: “I am confined, and so I am unable to enter into the house of the Lord.
6 Karena itu, apabila tiba harinya orang berpuasa, engkau harus pergi ke sana, dan membacakan dengan suara keras semua yang telah kudiktekan kepadamu, supaya mereka mendengar semua yang dikatakan TUHAN kepadaku. Lakukanlah itu di tempat yang memungkinkan engkau dapat didengar oleh setiap orang yang berada di Rumah TUHAN, termasuk orang Yehuda yang datang dari kota-kota mereka.
Therefore, you shall enter and read from the volume, in which you have written from my mouth the words of the Lord, in the hearing of the people in the house of the Lord on the day of the fast. Moreover, you shall also read them in the hearing of all those of Judah who are arriving from their cities.
7 Barangkali karena itu mereka akan berdoa kepada TUHAN, dan bertobat dari perbuatan-perbuatan mereka yang jahat. TUHAN marah sekali kepada mereka dan mengancam mereka."
Perhaps it may happen that they pray in the sight of the Lord, and each one may return from his wicked way. For great is the fury and indignation that the Lord has declared against this people.”
8 Maka Barukh membacakan perkataan TUHAN di Rumah TUHAN, seperti yang kutugaskan kepadanya.
And Baruch, the son of Neriah, acted in accord with all that Jeremiah, the prophet, had instructed him, reading from the volume the words of the Lord, in the house of the Lord.
9 Pada bulan sembilan tahun kelima pemerintahan Yoyakim raja Yehuda, rakyat berpuasa untuk memperoleh belas kasihan dari TUHAN. Penduduk Yerusalem dan orang-orang yang datang dari kota-kota Yehuda, semuanya berpuasa.
And it happened that, in the fifth year of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, the king of Judah, in the ninth month, they proclaimed a fast, in the sight of the Lord, to all the people in Jerusalem, and to the entire multitude which had flowed together, from the cities of Judah, into Jerusalem.
10 Lalu Barukh membacakan dari buku gulungan itu segala sesuatu yang telah kukatakan, dan semua orang mendengarkan. Pembacaan itu dilakukan di dalam Rumah TUHAN di kantor Gemarya, anak Safan sekretaris negara. Kantor itu terletak di pelataran sebelah atas, dekat jalan masuk ke Pintu Gerbang Baru di Rumah TUHAN.
And Baruch read from the volume the words of Jeremiah in the house of the Lord, at the treasury of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, the scribe, in the upper vestibule, at the entrance to the new gate of the house of the Lord, in the hearing of all the people.
11 Mikhaya anak Gemarya dan cucu Safan mendengar Barukh membacakan perkataan TUHAN dari buku gulungan itu.
And when Micaiah, the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, had heard all the words of the Lord from the book,
12 Lalu ia pergi ke istana, ke kantor sekretaris negara. Di situ semua pejabat sedang berapat. Delaya anak Semaya, Elnatan anak Akhbor, Gemarya anak Safan, Zedekia anak Hananya, Elisama seorang sekretaris, dan pejabat-pejabat lainnya ada di situ.
he descended to the house of the king, to the treasury of the scribe. And behold, all the leaders were sitting there: Elishama, the scribe, and Delaiah, the son of Shemaiah, and Elnathan, the son of Achbor, and Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, and Zedekiah, the son of Hananiah, and all the leaders.
13 Mikhaya memberitahukan kepada mereka, semua yang dibacakan Barukh di Rumah TUHAN.
And Micaiah announced to them all the words that he had heard when Baruch read from the volume to the ears of the people.
14 Lalu para pejabat itu mengutus Yehudi (yaitu anak Netanya, cucu Selemya, dan buyut Kusyi) kepada Barukh dengan perintah untuk datang dan membawa kepada mereka buku gulungan yang telah dibacakannya itu. Maka Barukh membawa buku itu.
And so, all the leaders sent Jehudi, the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, to Baruch, saying, “Take in your hand the volume, from which you have read in the hearing of the people, and come.” Therefore, Baruch, the son of Neriah, took the volume in his hand, and he went to them.
15 "Silakan duduk," kata mereka, "bacakanlah buku gulungan itu kepada kami." Barukh pun menurut.
And they said to him, “Sit and read these things in our hearing.” And Baruch read in their hearing.
16 Setelah ia selesai membaca, mereka saling memandang dengan perasaan cemas lalu berkata kepada Barukh, "Kami harus melaporkan hal ini kepada raja."
Therefore, when they had heard all the words, each one looked at his neighbor in astonishment, and they said to Baruch: “We ought to report all these words to the king.”
17 Kemudian mereka bertanya, "Coba beritahukan kepada kami bagaimana engkau menulis semuanya ini. Apakah Yeremia yang mendiktekannya kepadamu?"
And they questioned him, saying, “Describe to us how you wrote all these words from his mouth.”
18 "Betul, setiap kata yang tertulis di sini telah didiktekan oleh Yeremia kepadaku, dan aku menulisnya dengan tinta pada buku gulungan ini," jawab Barukh.
Then Baruch said to them: “He was speaking with his mouth, as if reading to me. And I wrote in a volume with ink.”
19 "Engkau dan Yeremia harus bersembunyi. Jangan sampai orang tahu tempat persembunyianmu itu," kata mereka.
And the leaders said to Baruch: “Go away and hide, you and Jeremiah, and let no one know where you are.”
20 Para pejabat itu menaruh buku gulungan itu di kamar Elisama, sekretaris itu, kemudian pergi kepada raja dan melaporkan semuanya.
And they entered to the king, in the court. Furthermore, they stored the volume in the treasury of Elishama, the scribe. And they announced all the words in the hearing of the king.
21 Lalu raja menyuruh Yehudi pergi untuk mengambil buku gulungan itu. Setelah mengambilnya dari kamar Elisama, Yehudi membacakannya kepada raja dan kepada semua pejabat yang sedang berdiri di sekelilingnya.
And the king sent Jehudi to take the volume. And bringing it from the treasury of Elishama, the scribe, he read it in the hearing of the king and of all the leaders who were standing around the king.
22 Waktu itu bulan sembilan, dan raja sedang duduk di depan perapian di istana musim dinginnya.
Now the king was sitting in the winter house, in the ninth month. And there was a hearth placed before him, filled with burning coals.
23 Begitu Yehudi selesai membaca tiga atau empat lajur, raja memotong bagian itu dengan sebilah pisau kecil dan melemparkannya ke dalam api. Demikianlah dilakukannya terus sampai seluruh buku gulungan itu terbakar habis.
And when Jehudi had read three or four pages, he cut it with a small knife, and he threw it into the fire which was upon the hearth, until the entire volume was consumed by the fire which was upon the hearth.
24 Sekalipun Elnatan, Delaya, dan Gemarya memohon dengan sangat supaya raja jangan membakar buku gulungan itu, namun ia tidak mau mendengarkan mereka. Baik raja maupun para pejabat yang mendengar isi buku itu tidak menjadi takut atau menunjukkan penyesalan.
And the king and all his servants, who had heard all these words, were not afraid, and they did not rend their garments.
Yet truly, Elnathan, and Delaiah, and Gemariah contradicted the king, so that he might not burn the book. But he did not listen to them.
26 Raja malah memerintahkan putranya, yaitu Yerahmeel, bersama dengan Seraya anak Azriel dan Selemya anak Abdeel, supaya menangkap aku dan Barukh sekretarisku. Tetapi TUHAN menyembunyikan kami.
And the king instructed Jerahmeel, the son of Amelech, and Seraiah, the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah, the son of Abdeel, so that they would apprehend Baruch, the scribe, and Jeremiah, the prophet. But the Lord concealed them.
27 Setelah Raja Yoyakim membakar buku gulungan yang kudiktekan kepada Barukh itu, TUHAN menyuruh aku
And after the king had burned the volume and the words that Baruch had written from the mouth of Jeremiah, the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, the prophet, saying:
28 mengambil buku gulungan yang lain, dan menulis semua yang telah tertulis pada buku gulungan yang pertama itu.
“Again, take another volume and write in it all the former words, which were in the first volume that Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, has burned.
29 TUHAN menyuruh aku mengatakan begini kepada raja, "Engkau sudah membakar buku gulungan itu, dan engkau bertanya kepada Yeremia mengapa ia menulis bahwa raja Babel akan datang dan menghancurkan negeri ini serta membunuh penduduknya bersama binatang-binatangnya.
And you shall say to Jehoiakim, the king of Judah: Thus says the Lord: You have burned that volume, saying: ‘Why have you written in it, announcing that the king of Babylon will advance quickly, and will devastate this land, and will cause both man and beast to cease from it?’
30 Sebab itu, Aku, TUHAN, berkata kepadamu, hai Raja Yoyakim, bahwa tidak seorang pun dari keturunanmu akan memerintah sebagai raja keturunan Daud. Mayatmu akan dilempar ke luar, tertimpa panas di waktu siang, dan embun dingin di waktu malam.
Because of this, thus says the Lord against Jehoiakim, the king of Judah: There will be, from him, no one who may sit upon the throne of David. And his dead body shall be cast out: to the heat by day, and to the frost by night.
31 Engkau, keturunanmu, dan para pejabatmu akan Kuhukum karena dosa-dosa yang kamu lakukan. Aku akan mendatangkan ke atas kamu semua bencana yang telah Kuancamkan kepadamu, karena baik engkau maupun penduduk Yerusalem dan Yehuda tidak memperhatikan ancaman-ancaman-Ku."
And I will visit against him, and against his offspring, and against his servants for their iniquities. And I will lead over them, and over the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and over the men of Judah, all the evil that I have declared against them, for they have not listened.”
32 Maka aku mengambil buku gulungan yang baru, dan memberikannya kepada Barukh sekretarisku. Lalu ia menuliskan semua yang kudiktekan kepadanya, yaitu isi buku gulungan yang pertama ditambah beberapa pesan lain semacam itu.
Then Jeremiah took up another volume, and he gave it to Baruch, the son of Neriah, the scribe, who wrote in it, from the mouth of Jeremiah, all the words of the book that Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, had burned with fire. And moreover, there were many more words added than there had been before.
