Yeremia 36
1 Dalam tahun yang keempat pemerintahan Yoyakim bin Yosia, raja Yehuda, datanglah firman ini dari TUHAN kepada Yeremia, bunyinya:
In the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from the LORD:
2 "Ambillah kitab gulungan dan tulislah di dalamnya segala perkataan yang telah Kufirmankan kepadamu mengenai Israel, Yehuda dan segala bangsa, dari sejak Aku berbicara kepadamu, yakni dari sejak zaman Yosia, sampai waktu ini.
“Take a scroll and write on it all the words I have spoken to you concerning Israel, Judah, and all the nations, from the day I first spoke to you during the reign of Josiah until today.
3 Mungkin apabila kaum Yehuda mendengar tentang segala malapetaka yang Aku rancangkan hendak mendatangkannya kepada mereka, maka mereka masing-masing akan bertobat dari tingkah langkahnya yang jahat itu, sehingga Aku mengampuni kesalahan dan dosa mereka."
Perhaps when the people of Judah hear about all the calamity I plan to bring upon them, each of them will turn from his wicked way. Then I will forgive their iniquity and their sin.”
4 Jadi Yeremia memanggil Barukh bin Neria, lalu Barukh menuliskan dalam kitab gulungan itu langsung dari mulut Yeremia segala perkataan yang telah difirmankan TUHAN kepadanya.
So Jeremiah called Baruch son of Neriah, and at the dictation of Jeremiah, Baruch wrote on a scroll all the words that the LORD had spoken to Jeremiah.
5 Pada suatu kali Yeremia memberi perintah kepada Barukh: "Aku ini berhalangan, tidak dapat pergi ke rumah TUHAN.
Then Jeremiah commanded Baruch, “I am restricted; I cannot enter the house of the LORD;
6 Jadi pada hari puasa engkaulah yang pergi membacakan perkataan-perkataan TUHAN kepada orang banyak di rumah TUHAN dari gulungan yang kautuliskan langsung dari mulutku itu; kepada segenap orang Yehuda yang datang dari kota-kotanya haruslah kaubacakannya juga.
so you are to go to the house of the LORD on a day of fasting, and in the hearing of the people you are to read the words of the LORD from the scroll you have written at my dictation. Read them in the hearing of all the people of Judah who are coming from their cities.
7 Mungkin permohonan mereka sampai di hadapan TUHAN dan mereka masing-masing bertobat dari tingkah langkahnya yang jahat itu, sebab besar murka dan kehangatan amarah yang diancamkan TUHAN kepada bangsa ini."
Perhaps they will bring their petition before the LORD, and each one will turn from his wicked way; for great are the anger and fury that the LORD has pronounced against this people.”
8 Lalu Barukh bin Neria melakukan tepat seperti yang diperintahkan kepadanya oleh nabi Yeremia untuk membacakan perkataan-perkataan TUHAN dari kitab itu di rumah TUHAN. --
So Baruch son of Neriah did everything that Jeremiah the prophet had commanded him. In the house of the LORD he read the words of the LORD from the scroll.
9 Adapun dalam tahun yang kelima pemerintahan Yoyakim bin Yosia, raja Yehuda, dalam bulan yang kesembilan, orang telah memaklumkan puasa di hadapan TUHAN bagi segenap rakyat di Yerusalem dan bagi segenap rakyat yang telah datang dari kota-kota Yehuda ke Yerusalem. --
Now in the ninth month of the fifth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, a fast before the LORD was proclaimed to all the people of Jerusalem and all who had come there from the cities of Judah.
10 Maka Barukh membacakan kepada segenap rakyat perkataan Yeremia dari kitab itu, di rumah TUHAN, di kamar Gemarya anak panitera Safan, di pelataran atas di muka pintu gerbang baru dari rumah TUHAN.
From the chamber of Gemariah son of Shaphan the scribe, which was in the upper courtyard at the opening of the New Gate of the house of the LORD, Baruch read from the scroll the words of Jeremiah in the hearing of all the people.
11 Ketika Mikhaya bin Gemarya bin Safan mendengar segala firman TUHAN dari kitab itu,
When Micaiah son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, heard all the words of the LORD from the scroll,
12 turunlah ia ke istana raja, ke kamar panitera. Di sana tampak duduk semua pemuka, yakni panitera Elisama, Delaya bin Semaya, Elnatan bin Akhbor, Gemarya bin Safan, Zedekia bin Hananya dan semua pemuka lain.
he went down to the scribe’s chamber in the king’s palace, where all the officials were sitting: Elishama the scribe, Delaiah son of Shemaiah, Elnathan son of Achbor, Gemariah son of Shaphan, Zedekiah son of Hananiah, and all the other officials.
13 Lalu Mikhaya memberitahukan kepada mereka segala firman yang telah didengarnya, ketika Barukh membacakan kitab itu kepada orang banyak.
And Micaiah reported to them all the words he had heard Baruch read from the scroll in the hearing of the people.
14 Kemudian para pemimpin itu menyuruh Yehudi bin Netanya bin Selemya bin Kusyi kepada Barukh mengatakan: "Bawalah gulungan yang telah kaubacakan kepada orang banyak itu dan datanglah ke mari!" Maka Barukh bin Neria membawa gulungan itu dan datang kepada mereka.
Then all the officials sent word to Baruch through Jehudi son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, saying, “Bring the scroll that you read in the hearing of the people, and come here.” So Baruch son of Neriah took the scroll and went to them.
15 Berkatalah mereka kepadanya: "Silakan duduk dan bacakan itu kepada kami!" Lalu Barukh membacakannya kepada mereka.
“Please sit down,” they said, “and read it in our hearing.” So Baruch read it in their hearing.
16 Setelah mereka mendengar segala perkataan itu, maka terkejutlah mereka dan berkata seorang kepada yang lain: "Kita harus dengan segera memberitahukan segala perkataan ini kepada raja!"
When they had heard all these words, they turned to one another in fear and said to Baruch, “Surely we must report all these words to the king.”
17 Bertanyalah mereka kepada Barukh, katanya: "Beritahukanlah kepada kami, bagaimana caranya engkau menuliskan segala perkataan ini!"
“Tell us now,” they asked Baruch, “how did you write all these words? Was it at Jeremiah’s dictation?”
18 Jawab Barukh kepada mereka: "Segala perkataan ini langsung dari mulut Yeremia kepadaku, dan aku menuliskannya dengan tinta dalam kitab."
“It was at his dictation,” Baruch replied. “He recited all these words to me and I wrote them in ink on the scroll.”
19 Lalu berkatalah para pemuka itu kepada Barukh: "Pergilah, sembunyikanlah dirimu bersama Yeremia! Janganlah ada orang yang mengetahui di mana tempatmu!"
Then the officials said to Baruch, “You and Jeremiah must hide yourselves and tell no one where you are.”
20 Kemudian pergilah mereka menghadap raja di pelataran, sesudah mereka menyimpan gulungan itu di kamar panitera Elisama. Mereka memberitahukan segala perkataan ini kepada raja.
So the officials went to the king in the courtyard. And having stored the scroll in the chamber of Elishama the scribe, they reported everything to the king.
21 Raja menyuruh Yehudi mengambil gulungan itu, lalu ia mengambilnya dari kamar panitera Elisama itu. Yehudi membacakannya kepada raja dan semua pemuka yang berdiri dekat raja.
Then the king sent Jehudi to get the scroll, and he took it from the chamber of Elishama the scribe. And Jehudi read it in the hearing of the king and all the officials who were standing beside him.
22 Waktu itu adalah bulan yang kesembilan dan raja sedang duduk di balai musim dingin, sementara di depannya api menyala di perapian.
Since it was the ninth month, the king was sitting in his winter quarters with a fire burning before him.
23 Setiap kali apabila Yehudi selesai membacakan tiga empat lajur, maka raja mengoyak-ngoyaknya dengan pisau raut, lalu dilemparkan ke dalam api yang di perapian itu, sampai seluruh gulungan itu habis dimakan api yang di perapian itu.
And as soon as Jehudi had read three or four columns, Jehoiakim would cut them off with a scribe’s knife and throw them into the firepot, until the entire scroll had been consumed by the fire.
24 Baik raja maupun para pegawainya, yang mendengarkan segala perkataan ini, seorangpun tidak terkejut dan tidak mengoyakkan pakaiannya.
Yet in hearing all these words, the king and his servants did not become frightened or tear their garments.
25 Elnatan, Delaya dan Gemarya memang mendesak kepada raja, supaya jangan membakar gulungan itu, tetapi raja tidak mendengarkan mereka.
Even though Elnathan, Delaiah, and Gemariah urged the king not to burn the scroll, he would not listen to them.
26 Bahkan raja memerintahkan pangeran Yerahmeel, Seraya bin Azriel dan Selemya bin Abdeel untuk menangkap juru tulis Barukh dan nabi Yeremia, tetapi TUHAN menyembunyikan mereka.
Instead, the king commanded Jerahmeel, a son of the king, as well as Seraiah son of Azriel and Shelemiah son of Abdeel, to seize Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet. But the LORD had hidden them.
27 Sesudah raja membakar gulungan berisi perkataan-perkataan yang dituliskan oleh Barukh langsung dari mulut Yeremia itu, maka datanglah firman TUHAN kepada Yeremia, bunyinya:
After the king had burned the scroll containing the words that Baruch had written at Jeremiah’s dictation, the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:
28 "Ambil pulalah gulungan lain, tuliskanlah di dalamnya segala perkataan yang semula ada di dalam gulungan yang pertama yang dibakar oleh Yoyakim, raja Yehuda.
“Take another scroll and rewrite on it the very words that were on the original scroll, which Jehoiakim king of Judah has burned.
29 Mengenai Yoyakim, raja Yehuda, haruslah kaukatakan: Beginilah firman TUHAN: Engkau telah membakar gulungan ini dengan berkata: Mengapakah engkau menulis di dalamnya, bahwa raja Babel pasti akan datang untuk memusnahkan negeri ini dan untuk melenyapkan dari dalamnya manusia dan hewan?
You are to proclaim concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah that this is what the LORD says: You have burned the scroll and said, ‘Why have you written on it that the king of Babylon would surely come and destroy this land and deprive it of man and beast?’
30 Sebab itu beginilah firman TUHAN tentang Yoyakim, raja Yehuda: Ia tidak akan mempunyai keturunan yang akan duduk di atas takhta Daud, dan mayatnya akan tercampak, sehingga kena panas di waktu siang dan kena dingin di waktu malam.
Therefore this is what the LORD says about Jehoiakim king of Judah: He will have no one to sit on David’s throne, and his body will be thrown out and exposed to heat by day and frost by night.
31 Aku akan menghukum dia, keturunannya dan hamba-hambanya karena kesalahan mereka; Aku akan mendatangkan atas mereka, atas segala penduduk Yerusalem dan atas orang Yehuda segenap malapetaka yang Kuancamkan kepada mereka, yang mereka tidak mau mendengarnya."
I will punish him and his descendants and servants for their iniquity. I will bring on them, on the residents of Jerusalem, and on the men of Judah, all the calamity about which I warned them but they did not listen.”
32 Maka Yeremia mengambil gulungan lain dan memberikannya kepada juru tulis Barukh bin Neria yang menuliskan di dalamnya langsung dari mulut Yeremia segala perkataan yang ada di dalam kitab yang telah dibakar Yoyakim, raja Yehuda dalam api itu. Lagipula masih ditambahi dengan banyak perkataan seperti itu.
Then Jeremiah took another scroll and gave it to the scribe Baruch son of Neriah, and at Jeremiah’s dictation he wrote on it all the words of the scroll that Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire. And many similar words were added to them.
