Yeremia 50

1 Inilah pesan TUHAN kepadaku tentang kota Babel dan penduduknya,

The word which he spoke Yahweh concerning Babylon concerning [the] land of [the] Chaldeans by [the] hand of Jeremiah the prophet.

2 "Pasanglah tanda dan umumkan kepada bangsa-bangsa bahwa Babel telah jatuh! Jangan rahasiakan hal itu! Merodakh dewanya telah dihancurkan, dan patung-patungnya yang cabul pecah berantakan, serta berhala-berhalanya sangat dihinakan.

Declare among the nations and make a proclamation and lift up a standard make a proclamation may not you hide [it] say it will be captured Babylon it will be put to shame Bel it will be shattered Marduk they will be put to shame images its they will be shattered idols its.

3 Suatu bangsa dari utara akan datang menyerang Babel dan membuat negeri itu menjadi padang tandus. Manusia dan binatang akan lari, dan tak ada lagi yang mau tinggal di sana."

For it will go up on it a nation from [the] north it it will make land its into a waste and not he will be an inhabitant in it from humankind and unto animal[s] they will take flight they will go.

4 TUHAN berkata, "Pada waktu itu orang Israel dan Yehuda akan datang bersama-sama dengan menangis, mencari Aku, Allah mereka.

In the days those and at the time that [the] utterance of Yahweh they will come [the] people of Israel they and [the] people of Judah together going and weeping they will go and Yahweh God their they will seek.

5 Mereka akan menanyakan jalan ke Sion, lalu berjalan ke jurusan itu. Mereka akan membuat perjanjian abadi dengan Aku, dan akan tetap memegangnya.

Zion they will ask for [will be] [the] direction hither faces their come and they will join themselves to Yahweh a covenant of perpetuity not it will be forgotten.

6 Umat-Ku ibarat domba yang telah dibiarkan tersesat di pegunungan oleh gembala-gembalanya. Mereka mengembara dari satu gunung ke gunung yang lain dan tidak tahu lagi di mana rumah mereka.

Sheep lost (they have become *Q(K)*) people my shepherds their they have caused to wander them mountains (they have led away them *Q(K)*) from mountain to hill they have gone they have forgotten resting place their.

7 Mereka diserang dan disiksa oleh semua yang bertemu dengan mereka. Musuh-musuh umat-Ku berkata, 'Apa yang kita lakukan, tidak salah, sebab orang-orang itu telah berdosa kepada TUHAN. Leluhur mereka percaya kepada TUHAN, jadi seharusnya mereka pun tetap setia kepada-Nya.'

All [those who] found them they devoured them and opponents their they said not we are guilty because that they have sinned to Yahweh [the] habitation of righteousness and [the] hope of ancestors their Yahweh.

8 Hai umat Israel, larilah dari Babel! Kamulah yang mula-mula harus pergi, supaya yang lain menyusul.

Take flight from [the] midst of Babylon and from [the] land of [the] Chaldeans (go forth *Q(K)*) and be like male goats before [the] flock.

9 Aku akan mengerahkan sejumlah bangsa yang kuat-kuat dari utara supaya mereka menyerang Babel. Mereka akan mengatur barisan untuk bertempur melawan Babel dan mengalahkannya. Mereka adalah pemanah-pemanah ahli yang panahnya tak pernah meleset.

For here! I [am] about to rouse and [am] about to bring up on Babylon an assembly of nations great from a land of [the] north and they will line up to it from there it will be captured arrows its [will be] like a warrior skillful [who] not he returns empty.

10 Babel akan dirampasi, dan perampasnya akan mengambil segalanya dengan sesuka hati. Aku, TUHAN, telah berbicara."

And it will become Chaldea plunder all [those who] plunder it they will be satisfied [the] utterance of Yahweh.

11 TUHAN berkata, "Hai orang Babel, kamu merampok umat-Ku. Kamu melompat-lompat gembira seperti kuda yang meringkik, dan seperti sapi yang sedang merumput.

That (you are rejoicing *Q(K)*) that (you are gloating *Q(K)*) O plunderers of inheritance my that (you are skipping about *Q(K)*) like a heifer threshing (so you may neigh *Q(K)*) like mighty [horses].

12 Tetapi kamu akan menjadi bangsa yang paling tak berarti di antara segala bangsa. Kotamu sendiri yang besar itu akan dihina dan dipermalukan. Negerimu akan menjadi padang gurun yang tandus dan kering.

She will be ashamed mother your exceedingly she will be abashed [the one who] gave birth you there! [the] last of nations a wilderness a desert and a desert plain.

13 Karena Aku marah, maka Babel akan menjadi reruntuhan dan tak berpenghuni. Semua yang lewat di situ akan terkejut dan ngeri.

From [the] wrath of Yahweh not it will remain and it will be a waste all of it every [one who] passes by at Babylon he will be appalled and he may hiss on all wounds its.

14 Hai kamu pemanah-pemanah! Aturlah barisanmu untuk mengepung dan menyerang Babel. Bidikkan semua anak panahmu ke arah Babel, karena ia telah berdosa kepada-Ku.

Line up on Babylon - all around O all [those who] bend a bow shoot against it may not you spare an arrow for to Yahweh it has sinned.

15 Teriakkanlah pekik pertempuran di sekeliling kota itu! Sekarang Babel sudah menyerah. Tembok-temboknya telah didobrak dan diruntuhkan. Aku sedang melaksanakan pembalasan terhadap Babel. Sebab itu perlakukanlah mereka seperti mereka memperlakukan orang-orang lain.

Shout out on it all around it will give hand its they will fall (towers its *Q(k)*) they will be torn down walls its for [is] [the] vengeance of Yahweh that avenge yourself on it just as it has done do to it.

16 Jangan biarkan orang bercocok tanam atau menuai di negeri itu. Semua orang asing yang tinggal di situ akan pulang ke negerinya, karena mereka takut kepada tentara yang menyerang."

Cut off [the] sower from Babylon and [one who] wields a sickle at a time of harvest from before [the] sword of the oppressor everyone to people his they will turn and everyone to own land his they will flee.

17 TUHAN berkata, "Orang Israel seperti kawanan domba yang dikejar dan diceraiberaikan oleh singa. Mula-mula mereka diserang oleh raja Asyur, lalu Nebukadnezar raja Babel menggerogoti tulang-tulang mereka.

[is] sheep Scattered Israel [which] lions they have driven away the first [lion] he devoured it [the] king of Assyria and this the last [lion] he gnawed bones its Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon.

18 Karena itu, Aku, TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa, Allah Israel, akan menghukum Raja Nebukadnezar dan negerinya sama seperti Kuhukum raja Asyur.

Therefore thus he says Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel here I [am] about to visit [judgment] to [the] king of Babylon and to land his just as I visited [judgment] to [the] king of Assyria.

19 Aku akan mengembalikan orang Israel ke negeri mereka. Mereka akan makan dari hasil tanah Gunung Karmel dan daerah Basan. Mereka akan dikenyangkan oleh hasil tanah daerah Efraim dan Gilead.

And I will restore Israel to pasture its and it will graze Carmel and Bashan and in [the] hill country of Ephraim and Gilead it will be satisfied appetite its.

20 Pada waktu itu Israel dan Yehuda akan bersih dari dosa, karena Aku akan mengampuni orang-orang yang telah Kuselamatkan. Aku, TUHAN telah berbicara."

In the days those and at the time that [the] utterance of Yahweh it will be sought [the] iniquity of Israel and there not [will be] it and [the] sins of Judah and not they will be found for I will forgive [those] whom I will leave as a remnant.

21 TUHAN berkata kepada suatu bangsa dari utara, "Seranglah penduduk Merataim dan Pekod. Bunuh dan binasakan mereka. Laksanakanlah perintah-Ku. Aku, TUHAN telah berbicara."

On the land of Merathaim go up on it and against [the] inhabitants of Pekod kill and totally destroy after them [the] utterance of Yahweh and do according to all that I have commanded you.

22 Bunyi pertempuran bergemuruh di negeri, dan terjadilah kehancuran besar.

A sound of battle [will be] in the land and destruction great.

23 Seluruh dunia dipalu oleh Babel sampai hancur, tapi sekarang palu itu sendiri telah patah! Segala bangsa terkejut mendengar apa yang telah terjadi dengan negeri itu.

How! it has been cut off and it has been broken [the] hammer of all the earth how! it has become a horror Babylon among the nations.

24 TUHAN berkata, "Babel, engkau melawan Aku, sebab itu kau terjebak di dalam jerat yang Kupasang untukmu, tetapi kau tidak menyadarinya.

I set a trap for you and also you were caught O Babylon and you not you knew you were found and also you were caught for with Yahweh you engaged in strife.

25 Gudang senjata-Ku telah Kubuka, dan dengan marah Kukeluarkan senjata-senjata itu, karena Aku TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi dan Mahakuasa harus melakukan suatu tugas di Babel.

He has opened Yahweh armory his and he has brought out [the] weapons of indignation his for a work it [belongs] to [the] Lord Yahweh of hosts in [the] land of [the] Chaldeans.

26 Seranglah Babel dari segala jurusan, dan dobraklah gudang-gudang gandumnya! Tumpuklah barang-barang rampasan seperti kamu menumpuk gandum! Musnahkan negeri itu! Jangan ada yang disisakan!

Come to it from [the] end open granaries its pile up it like heaps and totally destroy it may not it belong to it a remnant.

27 Bunuhlah semua tentaranya! Tewaskan mereka! Celakalah bangsa Babel! Sudah tiba waktunya mereka dihukum!"

Kill all young bulls its let them go down to the slaughter woe! on them for it has come day their [the] time of punishment their.

28 (Orang-orang yang lari ke Yerusalem dari Babel menceritakan bagaimana TUHAN Allah kita membalas perbuatan orang Babel terhadap Rumah TUHAN.)

[the] sound of Fugitives and escapees from [the] land of Babylon to declare in Zion [the] vengeance of Yahweh God our [the] vengeance of temple his.

29 TUHAN berkata, "Suruhlah para pemanah menyerang Babel. Kerahkanlah setiap orang yang pandai memanah. Kepunglah kota itu dan jangan biarkan seorang pun lolos. Balaslah semua perbuatannya dan perlakukanlah dia setimpal dengan kelakuannya, sebab ia telah bertindak kurang ajar terhadap Aku, Yang Mahasuci, Allah Israel.

Summon against Babylon - archers all [those who] bend a bow encamp on it all around may not (it be to it *Q(K)*) escape repay to it according to deed[s] its according to all that it has done do to it for Yahweh it has defied proudly [the] holy [one] of Israel.

30 Pada hari itu pemuda-pemudanya akan tewas di jalan-jalan kotanya, dan seluruh tentaranya dihancurkan. Aku, TUHAN, telah berbicara.

Therefore they will fall young men its in open places its and all [the] men of war its they will be silenced on the day that [the] utterance of Yahweh.

31 Babel, engkau terlalu tinggi hati! Karena itu Aku, TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi, Allah Yang Mahakuasa, melawan engkau. Sudah waktunya engkau Kuhukum.

Here I [am] against you O arrogance [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh of hosts that it has come day your [the] time [when] I will visit you.

32 Bangsamu yang tinggi hati itu akan tersandung dan jatuh. Tak seorang pun akan menolong engkau untuk bangkit. Kota-kotamu akan Kubakar, dan segala yang di sekitarnya akan dimusnahkan."

And it will stumble arrogance and it will fall and not [will belong] to it [one who] raises up and I will kindle fire in cities its and it will devour all around it.

33 TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa berkata, "Orang Israel dan orang Yehuda tertekan. Semua yang menawan mereka menjaga mereka ketat-ketat dan tak mau melepaskan mereka.

Thus he says Yahweh of hosts [are] oppressed [the] people of Israel and [the] people of Judah together and all captors their they have kept hold on them they have refused to let go them.

34 Tetapi Aku penyelamat mereka itu kuat, nama-Ku TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa. Aku sendirilah yang akan memperjuangkan perkara mereka dan membawa damai ke atas bumi. Tetapi ke atas orang Babel akan Kudatangkan kerusuhan dan ketakutan."

Redeemer their - [is] strong [is] Yahweh of hosts name his certainly he will conduct case their so as to give rest to the earth and to cause disquiet to [the] inhabitants of Babylon.

35 TUHAN berkata, "Binasalah Babel bersama rakyat dan pejabat pemerintah serta kaum cerdik pandai mereka!

A sword on [the] Chaldeans [the] utterance of Yahweh and against [the] inhabitants of Babylon and against officials its and against wise [people] its.

36 Binasalah nabi-nabi Babel! Mereka pendusta dan dungu. Binasalah tentara Babel yang perkasa! Betapa takutnya mereka!

A sword against the empty talkers and they will become fools a sword against warriors its and they will be shattered.

37 Hancurkan kuda dan kereta perangnya! Binasalah prajurit-prajurit sewaannya! Betapa lemahnya mereka! Musnahkan kekayaan Babel! Jarahilah harta bendanya!

A sword against horses its and against chariotry its and against every foreigner who [is] in [the] midst of it and they will become women a sword against treasuries its and they will be plundered.

38 Keringkanlah segala sungai dan ladangnya! Sebab, Babel penuh dengan berhala-berhala yang mengerikan, yang membuat para pemujanya menjadi gila.

A drought against waters its and they will dry up for [is] a land of idols it and in terrors they will act like mad people.

39 Karena itu Babel akan menjadi tempat jin-jin dan roh-roh jahat serta burung-burung unta. Untuk selama-lamanya tidak akan ada orang yang mau tinggal lagi di sana.

Therefore they will dwell desert-dwellers with hyenas and they will dwell in it daughters of an ostrich and not it will remain again to perpetuity and not it will settle until a generation and a generation.

40 Sebagaimana Aku memusnahkan Sodom dan Gomora bersama desa-desa di sekitarnya, begitu juga Aku akan memusnahkan Babel. Tak seorang pun akan tinggal lagi di sana. Aku, TUHAN, telah berbicara.

Like [the] overthrow of God Sodom and Gomorrah and neighbors its [the] utterance of Yahweh not he will dwell there anyone and not he will sojourn in it a child of humankind.

41 Suatu bangsa yang kuat sedang bergerak dari negeri yang jauh di utara. Mereka datang bersama banyak raja untuk berperang.

There! a people [is] about to come from [the] north and a nation great and kings many they will be roused from [the] remotest parts of [the] earth.

42 Mereka bersenjatakan panah dan tombak; mereka bengis dan tak kenal ampun. Seperti bunyi laut bergelora begitulah suara derap kuda mereka yang sedang dipacu untuk maju menyerang Babel.

Bow and javelin they will take hold of [will be] cruel they and not they will have mercy sound their [will be] like the sea [which] it roars and on horses they will ride arranged like a man for battle on you O daughter of Babylon.

43 Mendengar berita itu, raja Babel menjadi tak berdaya. Ia dicekam perasaan takut, dan menderita seperti wanita yang mau melahirkan.

He heard [the] king of Babylon report their and they hung limp hands his distress it took hold of him anguish like [woman] giving birth.

44 Seperti singa muncul dari hutan lebat dekat Sungai Yordan dan mendatangi padang tempat domba merumput, demikianlah Aku, TUHAN, akan datang dan membuat orang Babel lari dari kota mereka dengan tiba-tiba. Lalu Aku akan memilih seorang pemimpin untuk memerintah bangsa itu. Siapakah dapat disamakan dengan Aku? Siapakah berani membuat perkara dengan Aku? Apakah ada pemimpin yang dapat melawan Aku?

There! like a lion [which] it goes up from [the] thicket[s] of the Jordan to pastureland of an ever-flowing [stream] for I will act in a moment (I will cause to run them *Q(K)*) from on it and whoever [is] chosen to it I will appoint for who? [is] like me and who? will he summon me and who? this [is] a shepherd who he will stand before me.

45 Karena itu, dengarkanlah apa yang telah Kurencanakan terhadap kota Babel, dan apa yang hendak Kulakukan terhadap penduduknya. Anak-anak mereka pun akan diseret pergi, dan semua orang akan ketakutan.

Therefore hear [the] plan of Yahweh which he has planned against Babylon and purposes his which he has purposed against [the] land of [the] Chaldeans if not people will drag away them [the] young [ones] of the flock if not he will devastate on them [the] pastureland.

46 Apabila Babel jatuh, akan terdengar keributan yang begitu hebat sehingga seluruh dunia goncang; teriakan-teriakan penduduknya akan terdengar oleh bangsa-bangsa lain."

From [the] sound it has been captured Babylon it will quake the earth and a cry of distress among the nations it will be heard.
