Yeremia 36
1 Dalam tahun yang keempat pemerintahan Yoyakim bin Yosia, raja Yehuda, datanglah firman ini dari TUHAN kepada Yeremia, bunyinya:
And it comes to pass, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, this word has been to Jeremiah from YHWH, saying,
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 roll of a scroll to yourself, and you have written on it all the words that I have spoken to you concerning Israel, and concerning Judah, and concerning all the nations, from the day I spoke to you, from the days of Josiah, even to this day;
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 the house of Israel so hears all the evil that I am thinking of doing to them, so that they each turn back from his evil way, and I have been propitious to their iniquity, and to 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.
And Jeremiah calls Baruch son of Neriah, and Baruch writes from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of YHWH, that He has spoken to him, on a roll of a scroll.
5 Pada suatu kali Yeremia memberi perintah kepada Barukh: "Aku ini berhalangan, tidak dapat pergi ke rumah TUHAN.
And Jeremiah commands Baruch, saying, “I am restrained, I am not able to enter the house of YHWH;
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.
but you have entered—and you have read in the scroll that you have written from my mouth, the words of YHWH, in the ears of the people, in the house of YHWH, in the day of the fast, and you also read them in the ears of all Judah who are coming in 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 their supplication so falls before YHWH, and they each turn back from his evil way, for the anger and the fury that YHWH has spoken concerning this people [is] great.”
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. --
And Baruch son of Neriah does according to all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, to read in the scroll the words of YHWH in the house of YHWH.
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. --
And it comes to pass, in the fifth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, in the ninth month, they proclaimed a fast before YHWH to all the people in Jerusalem, and to all the people who are coming in from cities of Judah to Jerusalem;
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.
and Baruch reads in the scroll the words of Jeremiah in the house of YHWH, in the chamber of Gemariah son of Shaphan the scribe, in the higher court, at the opening of the New Gate of the house of YHWH, in the ears of all the people.
11 Ketika Mikhaya bin Gemarya bin Safan mendengar segala firman TUHAN dari kitab itu,
And Michaiah son of Gemariah, son of Shaphan, hears all the words of YHWH from off 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.
and he goes down [to] the house of the king, to the chamber of the scribe, and behold, there all the heads are sitting: Elishama the scribe, and Delaiah son of Shemaiah, and Elnathan son of Acbor, and Gemariah son of Shaphan, and Zedekiah son of Hananiah, and all the heads.
13 Lalu Mikhaya memberitahukan kepada mereka segala firman yang telah didengarnya, ketika Barukh membacakan kitab itu kepada orang banyak.
And Micaiah declares to them all the words that he has heard when Baruch reads in the scroll in the ears 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.
and all the heads send to Baruch, Jehudi son of Nethaniah, son of Shelemiah, son of Cushi, saying, “Take in your hand the scroll, which you have read in the ears of the people, and come.” And Baruch son of Neriah takes the scroll in his hand and comes to them,
15 Berkatalah mereka kepadanya: "Silakan duduk dan bacakan itu kepada kami!" Lalu Barukh membacakannya kepada mereka.
and they say to him, “Please sit down and read it in our ears,” and Baruch reads [it] in their ears,
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!"
and it comes to pass, when they hear all the words, they have been afraid—one to another—and say to Baruch, “We surely declare all these words to the king.”
17 Bertanyalah mereka kepada Barukh, katanya: "Beritahukanlah kepada kami, bagaimana caranya engkau menuliskan segala perkataan ini!"
And they asked Baruch, saying, “Please declare to us, how did you write all these words from his mouth?”
18 Jawab Barukh kepada mereka: "Segala perkataan ini langsung dari mulut Yeremia kepadaku, dan aku menuliskannya dengan tinta dalam kitab."
And Baruch says to them, “He pronounces from his mouth all these words to me, and I am writing on the scroll with ink.”
19 Lalu berkatalah para pemuka itu kepada Barukh: "Pergilah, sembunyikanlah dirimu bersama Yeremia! Janganlah ada orang yang mengetahui di mana tempatmu!"
And the heads say to Baruch, “Go, be hidden, you and Jeremiah, and let no one know 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.
And they go to the king, to the court, and they have laid up the scroll in the chamber of Elishama the scribe, and they declare all the words in the ears of 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.
And the king sends Jehudi to take the scroll, and he takes it out of the chamber of Elishama the scribe, and Jehudi reads it in the ears of the king, and in the ears of all the heads who are standing by the king;
22 Waktu itu adalah bulan yang kesembilan dan raja sedang duduk di balai musim dingin, sementara di depannya api menyala di perapian.
and the king is sitting in the winter-house, in the ninth month, and the stove is 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 it comes to pass, when Jehudi reads three or four leaves, he cuts it out with the scribe’s knife, and has cast [it] into the fire that [is] on the stove, until the consumption of all the scroll by the fire that [is] on the stove.
24 Baik raja maupun para pegawainya, yang mendengarkan segala perkataan ini, seorangpun tidak terkejut dan tidak mengoyakkan pakaiannya.
And the king and all his servants who are hearing all these words have not been afraid, nor torn their garments.
25 Elnatan, Delaya dan Gemarya memang mendesak kepada raja, supaya jangan membakar gulungan itu, tetapi raja tidak mendengarkan mereka.
And also Elnathan, and Delaiah, and Gemariah have interceded with the king not to burn the scroll, and he has not listened 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.
And the king commands Jerahmeel son of Hammelek, and Seraiah son of Azriel, and Shelemiah son of Abdeel, to take Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet, and YHWH hides 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:
And there is a word of YHWH to Jeremiah—after the king’s burning the scroll, even the words that Baruch has written from the mouth of Jeremiah—saying:
28 "Ambil pulalah gulungan lain, tuliskanlah di dalamnya segala perkataan yang semula ada di dalam gulungan yang pertama yang dibakar oleh Yoyakim, raja Yehuda.
“Turn, take another scroll to yourself, and write on it all the former words that were on the first scroll that Jehoiakim king of Judah 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?
and say to Jehoiakim king of Judah, Thus said YHWH: You have burned this scroll, saying, Why have you written on it, saying, The king of Babylon surely comes in, and has destroyed this land, and caused man and beast to cease from it?
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, thus said YHWH concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah: He has none sitting on the throne of David, and his carcass is cast out to heat by day, and to cold 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."
and I have charged on him, and on his seed, and on his servants, their iniquity; and I have brought in on them, and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the men of Judah, all the evil that I have spoken to them, and 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.
And Jeremiah has taken another scroll, and gives it to Baruch son of Neriah the scribe, and he writes on it from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the scroll that Jehoiakim king of Judah has burned in the fire; and again there were added to them many words like these.
