Yeremia 36
1 Dalam tahun yang keempat pemerintahan Yoyakim bin Yosia, raja Yehuda, datanglah firman ini dari TUHAN kepada Yeremia, bunyinya:
It came about in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, that this word came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, and he said,
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 for yourself and write on it all the words that I have told you concerning Israel and Judah, and every nation. Do this for everything I have told from the days of Josiah until this very 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 people of Judah will listen to all the disasters that I intend to bring on them. Perhaps everyone will turn away from his wicked way, so I can 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.
Then Jeremiah called Baruch son of Neriah, and Baruch wrote in a scroll, at Jeremiah's dictation, all the words of Yahweh spoken to him.
5 Pada suatu kali Yeremia memberi perintah kepada Barukh: "Aku ini berhalangan, tidak dapat pergi ke rumah TUHAN.
Next Jeremiah gave a command to Baruch. He said, “I am in prison and cannot go to Yahweh's house.
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 must go and read from the scroll that you wrote at my dictation. On the day of the fast, you must read Yahweh's words in the hearing of the people in his house, and also in the hearing of all of Judah who have come from their cities. Proclaim these words to them.
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 pleas for mercy will come before Yahweh. Perhaps each person will turn from his wicked way, since the wrath and fury that Yahweh has proclaimed against this people are severe.”
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 to do. He read aloud the words of Yahweh in the house of Yahweh.
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. --
It came about in the fifth year and ninth month of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah, that all the people in Jerusalem and the people who came to Jerusalem from the cities of Judah proclaimed a fast before Yahweh.
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.
Baruch read aloud Jeremiah's words in the house of Yahweh, from the room of Gemariah son of Shaphan the scribe, in the upper courtyard, by the gate of the entrance to the house of Yahweh. He did this in the hearing of all the people.
11 Ketika Mikhaya bin Gemarya bin Safan mendengar segala firman TUHAN dari kitab itu,
Now Micaiah son of Gemariah son of Shaphan heard all of Yahweh's words in 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 house of the king, to the secretary's room. Look, all the officials were sitting there: Elishama the secretary, Delaiah son of Shemaiah, Elnathan son of Akbor, Gemariah son of Shaphan, and Zedekiah son of Hananiah, and all the officials.
13 Lalu Mikhaya memberitahukan kepada mereka segala firman yang telah didengarnya, ketika Barukh membacakan kitab itu kepada orang banyak.
Then Micaiah reported to them all the words that he had heard that Baruch read aloud 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.
So all the officials sent Jehudi son of Nethaniah son of Shelemiah son of Cushi, to Baruch. Jehudi said to Baruch, “Take the scroll in your hand, the scroll from which you were reading in the hearing of the people, and come.” So Baruch son of Neriah took the scroll in his hand and went to the officials.
15 Berkatalah mereka kepadanya: "Silakan duduk dan bacakan itu kepada kami!" Lalu Barukh membacakannya kepada mereka.
Then they said to him, “Sit down and read this in our hearing.” So Baruch read the scroll.
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!"
It happened that when they heard all these words, each man turned in fear to the one next to him and said to Baruch, “We must certainly report all of these words to the king.”
17 Bertanyalah mereka kepada Barukh, katanya: "Beritahukanlah kepada kami, bagaimana caranya engkau menuliskan segala perkataan ini!"
Then they asked Baruch, “Tell us, how did you come to write all these words at Jeremiah's dictation?”
18 Jawab Barukh kepada mereka: "Segala perkataan ini langsung dari mulut Yeremia kepadaku, dan aku menuliskannya dengan tinta dalam kitab."
Baruch said to them, “He dictated all these words to me, and I wrote them in ink on this 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, “Go, hide yourself, and Jeremiah, too. Do not let anyone 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.
So they put the scroll in the room of Elishama the secretary, and they went to the king in the courtyard and they reported everything in the hearing 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.
Then the king sent Jehudi to get the scroll. Jehudi took it from the room of Elishama the secretary. Then he 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.
Now the king was staying in the winter house in the ninth month, and a brazier was burning in front of 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.
It happened that as Jehudi read three or four columns, the king would cut it off with a knife and throw it into the fire in the brazier until all of the scroll was destroyed.
24 Baik raja maupun para pegawainya, yang mendengarkan segala perkataan ini, seorangpun tidak terkejut dan tidak mengoyakkan pakaiannya.
But neither the king nor any of his servants who heard all these words were frightened, nor did they tear their clothes.
25 Elnatan, Delaya dan Gemarya memang mendesak kepada raja, supaya jangan membakar gulungan itu, tetapi raja tidak mendengarkan mereka.
Elnathan, Delaiah, and Gemariah had even urged the king not to burn the scroll, but he did 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.
Then the king commanded Jerahmeel, a relative, Seraiah son of Azriel, and Shelemiah son of Abdeel to arrest Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet, but Yahweh 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:
Then the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah after the king had burned the scroll and the words that Baruch had written at Jeremiah's dictation, 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.
“Go back, take another scroll for yourself, and write in it all the words that were on the original scroll, the one 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?
Then you must say this to Jehoiakim king of Judah: 'You burned that scroll, saying, “Why have you written on it, 'The king of Babylon will certainly come and destroy this land, for he will destroy both man and beast in 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 Yahweh says this concerning you, Jehoiakim king of Judah: “No descendant of yours will ever sit on the throne of David. As for you, your corpse will be thrown out into the heat of day and the frost of 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."
For I will punish you, your descendants, and your servants for the iniquity of you all. I will bring on you, on all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and on every person in Judah all the disasters with which I have threatened you with, but to which you paid no attention.”
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.
So Jeremiah took another scroll and gave it to Baruch son of Neriah the scribe. Baruch wrote on it at Jeremiah's dictation all the words that had been in the scroll burned by Jehoiakim king of Judah. Furthermore, many other similar words were added to this scroll.
