Yeremia 20
1 Pasyhur bin Imer, imam yang pada waktu itu menjabat kepala di rumah TUHAN, mendengar Yeremia menubuatkan perkataan-perkataan itu.
Pashhur, the son of Immer, was a priest who supervised the temple guards. He heard those things that I had prophesied.
2 Lalu Pasyhur memukul nabi Yeremia dan memasungkan dia di pintu gerbang Benyamin yang ada di atas rumah TUHAN.
[So he arrested me]. Then he [commanded guards to] whip me and fasten my feet in (stocks/a wooden frame) at the Benjamin Gate of Yahweh’s temple.
3 Tetapi ketika Pasyhur keesokan harinya mengeluarkan Yeremia dari pasungan itu, berkatalah Yeremia kepadanya: "TUHAN akan menyebut namamu bukan Pasyhur, melainkan Kegentaran-dari-segala-jurusan.
The next day, when Pashhur released me, I said to him, “Pashhur, Yahweh is giving you a new name. From now on, your name will be ‘Surrounded by Terror’,
4 Sebab beginilah firman TUHAN: Sesungguhnya, Aku akan membuat engkau menjadi kegentaran bagimu sendiri dan bagi semua sahabatmu; mereka akan rebah mati oleh pedang musuhnya di depan matamu sendiri. Dan seluruh Yehuda akan Kuserahkan ke dalam tangan raja Babel yang akan mengangkut mereka ke dalam pembuangan ke Babel dan memukul mati mereka dengan pedang.
because Yahweh says this [to you]: ‘I will cause you and your friends to be terrified. You will watch them being killed by your enemies’ swords. I will enable the [army of the] king of Babylon to capture the people of Judah. Those soldiers will take some of the people to Babylon, and they will kill others with their swords.
5 Juga harta benda kota ini, segala hasil jerih payahnya, segala barangnya yang berharga dan segala barang perbendaharaan raja-raja Yehuda akan Kuserahkan ke dalam tangan musuhnya, yang akan menjarah, mengumpulkan dan membawa semuanya itu ke Babel.
And I will enable their soldiers to take away [other things in] Jerusalem. They will take to Babylon all the very valuable things that belonged to your kings.
6 Mengenai engkau, hai Pasyhur, dan semua orang yang diam di rumahmu, kamu akan diangkut tertawan; engkau akan sampai ke Babel dan akan mati di sana dan akan dikuburkan di sana: engkau ini dengan semua sahabatmu yang kepadanya engkau telah bernubuat palsu."
And [as for] you, Pashhur, they will take you and all your family to Babylon. You and your family and all your friends who have prophesied things that are lies will die there and be buried there.’”
7 Engkau telah membujuk aku, ya TUHAN, dan aku telah membiarkan diriku dibujuk; Engkau terlalu kuat bagiku dan Engkau menundukkan aku. Aku telah menjadi tertawaan sepanjang hari, semuanya mereka mengolok-olokkan aku.
[One day I said this to Yahweh]: “Yahweh, [when you chose me to be a prophet, ] deceived me, and I allowed you to deceive me. You insisted that I [become a prophet] and you are stronger than I am. And now everyone [HYP] ridicules me. They make fun of me all the day.
8 Sebab setiap kali aku berbicara, terpaksa aku berteriak, terpaksa berseru: "Kelaliman! Aniaya!" Sebab firman TUHAN telah menjadi cela dan cemooh bagiku, sepanjang hari.
When I tell [people your messages], I shout saying, ‘[Yahweh is going to cause you to experience] violence and destruction!’ So because I tell them those messages from you, they insult me and scoff at me all day long.
9 Tetapi apabila aku berpikir: "Aku tidak mau mengingat Dia dan tidak mau mengucapkan firman lagi demi nama-Nya", maka dalam hatiku ada sesuatu yang seperti api yang menyala-nyala, terkurung dalam tulang-tulangku; aku berlelah-lelah untuk menahannya, tetapi aku tidak sanggup.
But if I would say, ‘I will never mention Yahweh or say anything about him, [MTY]’ [it would be as though] your message would burn in my inner being like [SIM] a fire; it would be like a fire in my bones. Sometimes I try to remain silent and not proclaim your messages, but I am not able to do that.
10 Aku telah mendengar bisikan banyak orang: "Kegentaran datang dari segala jurusan! Adukanlah dia! Kita mau mengadukan dia!" Semua orang sahabat karibku mengintai apakah aku tersandung jatuh: "Barangkali ia membiarkan dirinya dibujuk, sehingga kita dapat mengalahkan dia dan dapat melakukan pembalasan kita terhadap dia!"
I hear many people whispering [about me], saying ‘[He is the man who proclaims that there will be things that cause us to] be terrified everywhere. We must tell [the authorities what he is saying]! We must denounce him!’ [Even] my best friends are waiting for me to say something that is wrong. [They are saying], ‘Perhaps we can cause him to say something wrong, and if he does, we will be able to discredit him.’
11 Tetapi TUHAN menyertai aku seperti pahlawan yang gagah, sebab itu orang-orang yang mengejar aku akan tersandung jatuh dan mereka tidak dapat berbuat apa-apa. Mereka akan menjadi malu sekali, sebab mereka tidak berhasil, suatu noda yang selama-lamanya tidak terlupakan!
But [you], Yahweh, are helping me like [SIM] a strong warrior, so [it is as though] you will cause those who persecute me to stumble, and they will not defeat me. They will be completely disgraced because of being unable to defeat me; and other people will never forget that they were disgraced.
12 Ya TUHAN semesta alam, yang menguji orang benar, yang melihat batin dan hati, biarlah aku melihat pembalasan-Mu terhadap mereka, sebab kepada-Mulah kuserahkan perkaraku.
Commander of the armies of angels, you examine [all] those who are righteous; you know [all that is in] their inner beings and what they think. Allow me to see you getting revenge on those [who want to harm me], because I trust that you will do for me what is right.”
13 Menyanyilah untuk TUHAN, pujilah TUHAN! Sebab ia telah melepaskan nyawa orang miskin dari tangan orang-orang yang berbuat jahat.
Sing to Yahweh! Praise Yahweh! He rescues [poor and] needy people, from those [SYN] who are wicked.
14 Terkutuklah hari ketika aku dilahirkan! Biarlah jangan diberkati hari ketika ibuku melahirkan aku!
But I hope/desire that the day that I was born will be cursed. I do not want [anyone to] celebrate that day.
15 Terkutuklah orang yang membawa kabar kepada bapaku dengan mengatakan: "Seorang anak laki-laki telah dilahirkan bagimu!" yang membuat dia bersukacita dengan sangat.
And [as for] that man who brought to my father the news, and caused him to be very happy, by saying “[You wife] has given birth to a son for you”, I hope/desire that he [also] will be cursed.
16 Terjadilah kepada hari itu seperti kepada kota-kota yang ditunggangbalikkan TUHAN tanpa belas kasihan! Didengarnyalah kiranya teriakan pada waktu pagi dan hiruk-pikuk pada waktu tengah hari!
Allow him to be destroyed like the cities that Yahweh destroyed [long ago], without acting mercifully [toward them]. Cause that man to hear the people wailing in the morning, and [to hear the enemy soldiers shout their] battle cries at noon.
17 Karena hari itu tidak membunuh aku selagi di kandungan, sehingga ibuku menjadi kuburanku, dan ia mengandung untuk selamanya!
[I want that to happen to him] because he did not kill me before I was born. I wish that I had died in my mother’s womb, and that my mother’s body would have been [like] [MET] my grave.
18 Mengapa gerangan aku keluar dari kandungan, melihat kesusahan dan kedukaan, sehingga hari-hariku habis berlalu dalam malu?
I have continually experienced much trouble and sorrow, and I am disgraced now when I am about to die; why was it necessary [RHQ] for me to me born?
