Yeremia 48
1 Inilah yang dikatakan TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa, Allah Israel mengenai Moab, "Celakalah penduduk Nebo, kotanya sudah roboh! Kiryataim direbut, dan bentengnya yang kuat dihancurkan, sehingga penduduknya menjadi malu;
Of Moab. Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says: “Woe to Nebo! For it is laid waste. Kiriathaim is disappointed. It is taken. Misgab is put to shame and broken down.
2 lenyaplah kebanggaan Moab. Musuh telah merebut Hesybon dan di sana mereka merencanakan untuk melenyapkan seluruh bangsa Moab. Suara-suara di kota Madmen akan dihentikan, karena kota itu akan diserbu tentara.
The praise of Moab is no more. In Heshbon they have devised evil against her: ‘Come! Let’s cut her off from being a nation.’ You also, Madmen, will be brought to silence. The sword will pursue you.
3 Dengar! Penduduk Horonaim berteriak, 'Kebinasaan! Kehancuran!'
The sound of a cry from Horonaim, desolation and great destruction!
4 Moab sudah musnah! Teriakan anak-anak kecilnya terdengar sampai ke Zoar.
Moab is destroyed. Her little ones have caused a cry to be heard.
5 Dengarlah suara tangis di jalan naik ke Luhit, dan suara ratapan di jalan turun ke Horonaim.
For they will go up by the ascent of Luhith with continual weeping. For at the descent of Horonaim they have heard the distress of the cry of destruction.
6 Kata mereka, 'Cepat! Selamatkan nyawamu! Larilah seperti keledai liar di gurun!'
Flee! Save your lives! Be like the juniper bush in the wilderness.
7 Moab! Engkau mengandalkan ketangkasan dan kekayaanmu. Tapi sekarang engkau sendiri akan dikalahkan. Kamos, dewamu, bersama para imam dan para pejabatnya akan diangkut ke pembuangan.
For, because you have trusted in your works and in your treasures, you also will be taken. Chemosh will go out into captivity, his priests and his princes together.
8 Semua kota akan hancur, tak satu pun yang akan luput. Lembah dan dataran rendah seluruhnya akan musnah. Aku, TUHAN, telah berbicara.
The destroyer will come on every city, and no city will escape; the valley also will perish, and the plain will be destroyed, as Yahweh has spoken.
9 Pasanglah batu nisan untuk Moab, sebab tak lama lagi negeri itu akan dimusnahkan sama sekali. Kota-kotanya akan runtuh dan tak seorang pun akan tinggal di sana."
Give wings to Moab, that she may fly and get herself away: and her cities will become a desolation, without anyone to dwell in them.
10 Terkutuklah orang yang tidak melaksanakan tugas dari TUHAN dengan sungguh-sungguh. Terkutuklah dia yang tak menghunus pedang dan membunuh.
“Cursed is he who does the work of Yahweh negligently; and cursed is he who keeps back his sword from blood.
11 TUHAN berkata, "Sejak dulu Moab hidup aman. Belum pernah ia diangkut ke pembuangan. Ia seperti air anggur yang dibiarkan mengendap dan tak pernah dituang ke tempat anggur yang lain. Anggurnya masih harum dan enak.
“Moab has been at ease from his youth, and he has settled on his dregs, and has not been emptied from vessel to vessel, neither has he gone into captivity; therefore his taste remains in him, and his scent is not changed.
12 Tetapi, akan tiba waktunya Aku menyuruh agar Moab dituang seperti anggur, dan tempat-tempatnya dikosongkan dan dipecahkan.
Therefore behold, the days come,” says Yahweh, “that I will send to him those who pour off, and they will pour him off; and they will empty his vessels, and break their containers in pieces.
13 Moab akan kecewa terhadap Kamos, dewa mereka, sama seperti orang Israel kecewa terhadap Betel yang mereka andalkan itu.
Moab will be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel, their confidence.
14 Bagaimana dapat laki-laki Moab berani berkata, 'Kami pahlawan, prajurit perkasa yang telah diuji dalam peperangan?'
“How do you say, ‘We are mighty men, and valiant men for the war’?
15 Moab dan kota-kotanya telah dihancurkan, dan orang-orang mudanya yang terbaik telah dibunuh. Aku telah berbicara. Aku raja, TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa.
Moab is laid waste, and they have gone up into his cities, and his chosen young men have gone down to the slaughter,” says the King, whose name is Yahweh of Armies.
16 Malapetaka untuk Moab sudah diambang pintu, tak lama lagi ia hancur.
“The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his affliction hurries fast.
17 Hai kamu negara-negara tetangga Moab yang tahu tentang kemasyhurannya, berkabunglah untuk dia! Katakan, 'Moab tidak lagi berkuasa, kebesaran dan kekuatannya sudah lenyap!'
All you who are around him, bemoan him; and all you who know his name, say, ‘How the strong staff is broken, the beautiful rod!’
18 Hai penduduk Dibon, turunlah dari tempatmu yang terhormat; duduklah di tanah dan di atas debu. Karena yang merusak Moab negerimu telah tiba, dan akan menghancurkan semua bentengmu.
“You daughter who dwells in Dibon, come down from your glory, and sit in thirst; for the destroyer of Moab has come up against you. He has destroyed your strongholds.
19 Kamu yang tinggal di Aroer, berdirilah di tepi jalan dan perhatikan! Tanyakanlah kepada mereka yang melarikan diri, dan lolos, 'Apakah yang telah terjadi?'
Inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way and watch. Ask him who flees, and her who escapes; say, ‘What has been done?’
20 Mereka akan menjawab, 'Moab sudah jatuh dan menjadi hina, karena itu tangisilah dia. Umumkan di sepanjang Sungai Arnon bahwa Moab sudah hancur.'"
Moab is disappointed; for it is broken down. Wail and cry! Tell it by the Arnon, that Moab is laid waste.
21 "Hukuman telah dijatuhkan ke atas kota-kota di daerah dataran tinggi: atas Holon, Yahas, Mefaat,
Judgment has come on the plain country— on Holon, on Jahzah, on Mephaath,
22 Dibon, Nebo, Bet-Diblataim,
on Dibon, on Nebo, on Beth Diblathaim,
23 Kiryataim, Bet-Gamul, Bet-Meon,
on Kiriathaim, on Beth Gamul, on Beth Meon,
24 Keriot, dan Bozra. Semua kota Moab, jauh dan dekat, telah dihukum.
on Kerioth, on Bozrah, and on all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near.
25 Kekuatan Moab telah dipatahkan, dan kekuasaannya dihancurkan. Aku, TUHAN, telah berbicara."
The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken,” says Yahweh.
26 TUHAN berkata, "Buatlah Moab menjadi mabuk, karena ia menyombongkan diri terhadap Aku. Ia akan berguling-guling dalam muntahnya, dan ditertawakan orang.
“Make him drunk, for he magnified himself against Yahweh. Moab will wallow in his vomit, and he also will be in derision.
27 Bukankah dahulu orang Israel telah ditertawakan oleh Moab dan dipergunjingkan seolah-olah mereka telah tertangkap basah bersama pencuri-pencuri?
For wasn’t Israel a derision to you? Was he found among thieves? For as often as you speak of him, you shake your head.
28 Kamu penduduk Moab, tinggalkanlah kota-kotamu dan diamlah di bukit batu seperti burung merpati membuat sarangnya di tebing jurang.
You inhabitants of Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the rock. Be like the dove that makes her nest over the mouth of the abyss.
29 Kamu angkuh sekali! Aku sudah mendengar betapa sombong, tinggi hati, congkak, dan pongahnya kamu!
“We have heard of the pride of Moab. He is very proud in his loftiness, his pride, his arrogance, and the arrogance of his heart.
30 Aku, TUHAN, tahu keangkuhanmu. Bicaramu kosong belaka, dan perbuatanmu tidak berarti.
I know his wrath,” says Yahweh, “that it is nothing; his boastings have done nothing.
31 Sebab itu Aku akan menangis keras-keras untuk kamu semua dan untuk orang-orang di Kir-Heres, ibukotamu.
Therefore I will wail for Moab. Yes, I will cry out for all Moab. They will mourn for the men of Kir Heres.
32 Aku akan lebih menangisi penduduk Sibma daripada penduduk Yaezer. Kota Sibma seperti tanaman anggur yang carang-carangnya merambat sampai ke seberang Laut Mati sejauh Yaezer. Tapi sekarang buah-buah musim panasnya dan buah anggurnya sudah dimusnahkan.
With more than the weeping of Jazer I will weep for you, vine of Sibmah. Your branches passed over the sea. They reached even to the sea of Jazer. The destroyer has fallen on your summer fruits and on your vintage.
33 Sorak-sorai keriangan sudah lenyap dari negeri Moab yang subur. Aku membuat air anggur berhenti mengalir dari alat pemeras anggur; tak ada lagi orang yang membuat anggur dan bersorak gembira.
Gladness and joy is taken away from the fruitful field and from the land of Moab. I have caused wine to cease from the wine presses. No one will tread with shouting. The shouting will be no shouting.
34 Orang di Hesybon dan Eleale menangis dan tangisnya terdengar sampai ke Yahas, dan terdengar juga oleh orang-orang dari Zoar sampai ke Horonaim dan Eglat-Selisia. Mereka menangis karena air di anak Sungai Nimrim pun sudah kering.
From the cry of Heshbon even to Elealeh, even to Jahaz they have uttered their voice, from Zoar even to Horonaim, to Eglath Shelishiyah; for the waters of Nimrim will also become desolate.
35 Aku akan membuat orang Moab berhenti membakar kurban pada tempat-tempat penyembahan mereka dan berhenti mempersembahkan kurban kepada dewa-dewa mereka. Aku, TUHAN, telah berbicara.
Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab,” says Yahweh, “him who offers in the high place, and him who burns incense to his gods.
36 Semua kekayaan Kir-Heres dan seluruh Moab sudah lenyap. Aku sedih melihat keadaan mereka itu; Aku seperti orang yang meniup lagu duka pada seruling.
Therefore my heart sounds for Moab like flutes, and my heart sounds like flutes for the men of Kir Heres. Therefore the abundance that he has gotten has perished.
37 Mereka semua sudah mencukur rambut kepala dan janggut, melukai lengan, dan memakai kain karung tanda sedih.
For every head is bald, and every beard clipped. There are cuttings on all the hands, and sackcloth on the waist.
38 Di atas semua sotoh rumah dan di tanah-tanah lapang hanya terdengar tangisan. Sebab Moab telah Kupecahkan seperti tempayan yang tak disukai.
On all the housetops of Moab, and in its streets, there is lamentation everywhere; for I have broken Moab like a vessel in which no one delights,” says Yahweh.
39 Moab telah hancur lebur! Betapa malunya Moab! Ia menangis karena telah dihina dan menjadi tertawaan bangsa-bangsa di sekelilingnya. Aku, TUHAN, telah berbicara."
“How it is broken down! How they wail! How Moab has turned the back with shame! So will Moab become a derision and a terror to all who are around him.”
40 TUHAN berkata, "Seperti burung rajawali menyambar dengan sayap terkembang, demikianlah sebuah bangsa akan datang dan menyambar Moab.
For Yahweh says: “Behold, he will fly as an eagle, and will spread out his wings against Moab.
41 Kota-kota dan benteng-bentengnya akan direbut dan tentaranya akan ketakutan seperti wanita yang mau melahirkan.
Kerioth is taken, and the strongholds are seized. The heart of the mighty men of Moab at that day will be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
42 Moab akan hancur dan tidak lagi merupakan sebuah bangsa, karena mereka menyombongkan diri terhadap Aku.
Moab will be destroyed from being a people, because he has magnified himself against Yahweh.
43 Mereka dihadapkan dengan teror, lubang dan jerat.
Terror, the pit, and the snare are on you, inhabitant of Moab,” says Yahweh.
44 Orang yang melarikan diri dari teror akan jatuh ke dalam lubang, dan yang keluar dari lubang itu akan tertangkap dalam jerat. Semua itu akan terjadi pada saat yang telah Kutetapkan untuk menghancurkan Moab.
“He who flees from the terror will fall into the pit; and he who gets up out of the pit will be taken in the snare, for I will bring on him, even on Moab, the year of their visitation,” says Yahweh.
45 Kaum pengungsi yang tak berdaya pergi mencari perlindungan ke Hesybon, tapi kota itu sedang terbakar dan istana Raja Sihon pun sedang dimakan api. Api telah memusnahkan daerah perbatasan dan pegunungan Moab, negeri orang-orang yang suka berperang.
“Those who fled stand without strength under the shadow of Heshbon; for a fire has gone out of Heshbon, and a flame from the middle of Sihon, and has devoured the corner of Moab, and the crown of the head of the tumultuous ones.
46 Celakalah Moab! Penduduknya yang menyembah Dewa Kamos telah dibinasakan, dan anak-anak mereka diangkut sebagai tawanan.
Woe to you, O Moab! The people of Chemosh are undone; for your sons are taken away captive, and your daughters into captivity.
47 Tapi di kemudian hari Aku akan memulihkan keadaan negeri Moab. Aku, TUHAN, telah berbicara!" Itulah yang akan dilakukan TUHAN terhadap Moab.
“Yet I will reverse the captivity of Moab in the latter days,” says Yahweh. Thus far is the judgment of Moab.
