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 the son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from the LORD, 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 scroll of a book, and write in it all the words that I have spoken to you against Israel, against Judah, and against 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."
It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I intend to do to them, that they may each return from his evil way; that I may 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 the son of Neriah; and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the LORD’s words, which he had spoken to him, on a scroll of a book.
5 Pada suatu kali Yeremia memberi perintah kepada Barukh: "Aku ini berhalangan, tidak dapat pergi ke rumah TUHAN.
Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, “I am restricted. I can’t go into the LORD’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.
Therefore you go, and read from the scroll which you have written from my mouth, the LORD’s words, in the ears of the people in the LORD’s house on the fast day. Also you shall read them in the ears of all Judah who come out of 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."
It may be they will present their supplication before the LORD, and will each return from his evil way; for the LORD has pronounced great anger and wrath 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. --
Baruch the son of Neriah did according to all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, reading in the book the LORD’s words in the LORD’s house.
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 fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, in the ninth month, all the people in Jerusalem and all the people who came from the cities of Judah to Jerusalem, proclaimed a fast before the LORD.
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.
Then Baruch read the words of Jeremiah from the book in the LORD’s house, in the room of Gemariah the son of Shaphan the scribe, in the upper court, at the entry of the new gate of the LORD’s house, in the ears of all the people.
11 Ketika Mikhaya bin Gemarya bin Safan mendengar segala firman TUHAN dari kitab itu,
When Micaiah the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, had heard out of the book all the LORD’s words,
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 into the king’s house, into the scribe’s room; and behold, all the princes were sitting there, Elishama the scribe, Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, Elnathan the son of Achbor, Gemariah the son of Shaphan, Zedekiah the son of Hananiah, and all the princes.
13 Lalu Mikhaya memberitahukan kepada mereka segala firman yang telah didengarnya, ketika Barukh membacakan kitab itu kepada orang banyak.
Then Micaiah declared to them all the words that he had heard, when Baruch read the book 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.
Therefore all the princes sent Jehudi the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, to Baruch, saying, “Take in your hand the scroll in which you have read in the ears of the people, and come.” So Baruch the son of Neriah took the scroll in his hand, and came to them.
15 Berkatalah mereka kepadanya: "Silakan duduk dan bacakan itu kepada kami!" Lalu Barukh membacakannya kepada mereka.
They said to him, “Sit down now, 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!"
Now when they had heard all the words, they turned in fear one towards another, and said to Baruch, “We will surely tell the king of all these words.”
17 Bertanyalah mereka kepada Barukh, katanya: "Beritahukanlah kepada kami, bagaimana caranya engkau menuliskan segala perkataan ini!"
They asked Baruch, saying, “Tell us now, how did you write all these words at his mouth?”
18 Jawab Barukh kepada mereka: "Segala perkataan ini langsung dari mulut Yeremia kepadaku, dan aku menuliskannya dengan tinta dalam kitab."
Then Baruch answered them, “He dictated all these words to me with his mouth, and I wrote them with ink in the book.”
19 Lalu berkatalah para pemuka itu kepada Barukh: "Pergilah, sembunyikanlah dirimu bersama Yeremia! Janganlah ada orang yang mengetahui di mana tempatmu!"
Then the princes said to Baruch, “You and Jeremiah go hide. Don’t 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.
They went in to the king into the court, but they had laid up the scroll in the room of Elishama the scribe. Then they told all the words 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.
So the king sent Jehudi to get the scroll, and he took it out of the room of Elishama the scribe. Jehudi read it in the hearing of the king, and in the hearing of all the princes who stood beside the king.
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 sitting in the winter house in the ninth month, and there was a fire in the brazier 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.
When Jehudi had read three or four columns, the king cut it with the penknife, and cast it into the fire that was in the brazier, until all the scroll was consumed in the fire that was in the brazier.
24 Baik raja maupun para pegawainya, yang mendengarkan segala perkataan ini, seorangpun tidak terkejut dan tidak mengoyakkan pakaiannya.
The king and his servants who heard all these words were not afraid, and didn’t tear their garments.
25 Elnatan, Delaya dan Gemarya memang mendesak kepada raja, supaya jangan membakar gulungan itu, tetapi raja tidak mendengarkan mereka.
Moreover Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah had made intercession to the king that he would not burn the scroll; but 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.
The king commanded Jerahmeel the king’s son, and Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel, to arrest Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet; but the LORD hid 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 LORD’s word came to Jeremiah, after the king had burnt the scroll, and the words which Baruch wrote at 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.
“Take again another scroll, and write in it all the former words that were in the first scroll, which Jehoiakim the king of Judah has burnt.
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?
Concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah you shall say, ‘The LORD says: “You have burnt this scroll, saying, ‘Why have you written therein, saying, “The king of Babylon will certainly come and destroy this land, and will cause to cease from there man and animal”?’”
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 the LORD says concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah: “He will have no one to sit on David’s throne. His dead body will be cast out in the day to the heat, and in the night to the frost.
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, his offspring, and his servants for their iniquity. I will bring on them, on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and on the men of Judah, all the evil that I have pronounced against them, but they didn’t 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 Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah, who wrote therein from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burnt in the fire; and many similar words were added to them.
