Yeremia 48
1 Mengenai Moab. Beginilah firman TUHAN semesta alam, Allah Israel: "Celakalah Nebo, sebab kota itu sudah dibinasakan! Kiryataim telah menjadi malu dan direbut! Kota benteng itu menjadi malu dan terkejut:
Of Moab. The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: “Woe to Nebo! For it is laid waste. Kiriathaim is disappointed. It is taken. Misgab is put to shame and broken down.
2 lenyaplah sudah kemegahan Moab! Di Hesybon orang merencanakan malapetaka terhadapnya: Marilah kita melenyapkannya sebagai bangsa! Juga engkau, hai Madmen, akan dibungkamkan, engkau akan dikejar-kejar pedang.
The praise of Moab is no more. In Heshbon they have devised evil against her: ‘Come! Let’s cut her off from being a nation.’ You also, Madmen, will be brought to silence. The sword will pursue you.
3 Dengar! Teriakan dari Horonaim: Kebinasaan! Kehancuran besar!
The sound of a cry from Horonaim, desolation and great destruction!
4 Moab telah hancur lebur! kedengaran orang berteriak sampai ke Zoar.
Moab is destroyed. Her little ones have caused a cry to be heard.
5 Sungguh, orang mendaki pendakian Luhit sambil menangis. Sungguh, di jalan turun ke Horonaim orang mendengar teriak karena ditimpa bencana.
For they will go up by the ascent of Luhith with continual weeping. For at the descent of Horonaim they have heard the distress of the cry of destruction.
6 Larilah, selamatkanlah nyawamu: jadilah seperti keledai liar di padang gurun!
Flee! Save your lives! Be like the juniper bush in the wilderness.
7 Sungguh, oleh karena engkau percaya kepada bentengmu dan perbendaharaanmu, maka engkaupun akan direbut; Kamos akan pergi ke dalam pembuangan, bersama-sama dengan para imam dan pemukanya.
For, because you have trusted in your works and in your treasures, you also will be taken. Chemosh will go out into captivity, his priests and his princes together.
8 Pembinasa akan datang ke setiap kota, tidak ada kota yang terluput! Lembah akan binasa, tanah datar habis musnah, seperti yang difirmankan TUHAN.
The destroyer will come on every city, and no city will escape; the valley also will perish, and the plain will be destroyed, as the LORD has spoken.
9 Berikanlah sayap kepada Moab, supaya ia lari terbang; kota-kotanya akan menjadi sunyi sepi, tidak ada lagi penduduk di dalamnya.
Give wings to Moab, that she may fly and get herself away: and her cities will become a desolation, without anyone to dwell in them.
10 Terkutuklah orang yang melaksanakan pekerjaan TUHAN dengan lalai, dan terkutuklah orang yang menghambat pedang-Nya dari penumpahan darah!
“Cursed is he who does the work of the LORD negligently; and cursed is he who keeps back his sword from blood.
11 Moab hidup aman dari sejak masa mudanya, dia hidup tenang seperti anggur di atas endapannya, tidak dituangkan dari tempayan yang satu ke tempayan yang lain, tidak pernah masuk ke dalam pembuangan; sebab itu rasanya tetap padanya, dan baunya tidak berubah.
“Moab has been at ease from his youth, and he has settled on his dregs, and has not been emptied from vessel to vessel, neither has he gone into captivity; therefore his taste remains in him, and his scent is not changed.
12 Sebab itu, sesungguhnya, waktunya akan datang, demikianlah firman TUHAN, bahwa Aku akan mengirim kepadanya tukang-tukang yang akan menuangkannya, mencurahkan tempayan-tempayannya dan memecahkan buyung-buyungnya.
Therefore behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “that I will send to him those who pour off, and they will pour him off; and they will empty his vessels, and break their containers in pieces.
13 Maka Moab akan menjadi malu oleh karena dewa Kamos, sama seperti kaum Israel menjadi malu oleh karena Betel, kepercayaan mereka.
Moab will be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel, their confidence.
14 Bagaimanakah kamu berani berkata: Kami adalah pahlawan-pahlawan, orang-orang gagah perkasa untuk berperang!
“How do you say, ‘We are mighty men, and valiant men for the war’?
15 Pembinasa Moab telah maju menyerang dia, teruna-terunanya yang pilihan telah turun ke pembantaian, demikianlah firman Raja yang nama-Nya TUHAN semesta alam.
Moab is laid waste, and they have gone up into his cities, and his chosen young men have gone down to the slaughter,” says the King, whose name is the LORD of Armies.
16 Bencana Moab sudah hampir datang, malapetakanya sangat segera sampai.
“The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his affliction hurries fast.
17 Ratapilah dia, hai semua yang ada di sekitarnya, hai semua yang mengenal namanya! Katakanlah: Sungguh, sudah patah tampuk kekuasaan, tongkat keagungan itu!
All you who are around him, bemoan him; and all you who know his name, say, ‘How the strong staff is broken, the beautiful rod!’
18 Turunlah dari kemuliaanmu dan duduklah di atas kotoran, hai puteri Dibon yang sudah lama menetap! Sebab pembinasa Moab sudah maju menyerbu engkau, memusnahkan tempat-tempatmu yang berkubu.
“You daughter who dwells in Dibon, come down from your glory, and sit in thirst; for the destroyer of Moab has come up against you. He has destroyed your strongholds.
19 Berdirilah di tepi jalan dan tinjaulah, hai penduduk Aroer! Tanyakanlah kepada orang yang lari dan yang terluput, katakanlah: Apakah yang telah terjadi?
Inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way and watch. Ask him who flees, and her who escapes; say, ‘What has been done?’
20 Moab sudah malu, karena ia terkejut! Merataplah dan berteriaklah, beritahukanlah di sungai Arnon: Sungguh, Moab sudah binasa!
Moab is disappointed; for it is broken down. Wail and cry! Tell it by the Arnon, that Moab is laid waste.
21 Penghukuman telah berlaku atas daerah dataran tinggi, atas kota-kota Holon, Yahas, Mefaat,
Judgment has come on the plain country— on Holon, on Jahzah, on Mephaath,
22 Dibon, Nebo, Bet-Diblataim,
on Dibon, on Nebo, on Beth Diblathaim,
23 Kiryataim, Bet-Gamul, Bet-Meon,
on Kiriathaim, on Beth Gamul, on Beth Meon,
24 Keriot, Bozra dan atas segala kota negeri Moab yang jauh dan yang dekat.
on Kerioth, on Bozrah, and on all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near.
25 Telah patah tanduk kekuatan Moab, dan lengan kekuasaannya telah pecah! demikianlah firman TUHAN.
The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken,” says the LORD.
26 Buatlah dia mabuk, sebab dia membesarkan diri terhadap TUHAN! Moab akan berguling-guling dalam muntahnya, dan ia sendiripun akan menjadi tertawaan orang.
“Make him drunk, for he magnified himself against the LORD. Moab will wallow in his vomit, and he also will be in derision.
27 Apakah bukan Israel tadinya yang menjadi tertawaan bagimu? Apakah dia terdapat di antara pencuri-pencuri, sehingga engkau menggeleng-gelengkan kepala, setiap kali engkau berbicara tentang dia?
For was not Israel a derision to you? Was he found among thieves? For as often as you speak of him, you shake your head.
28 Tinggalkanlah kota-kota dan diamlah di bukit batu, hai penduduk Moab! Jadilah seperti burung merpati yang bersarang di dinding mulut liang.
You inhabitants of Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the rock. Be like the dove that makes her nest over the mouth of the abyss.
29 Kami telah mendengar tentang keangkuhan Moab, alangkah angkuhnya dia, tentang kesombongannya, keangkuhannya dan kecongkakannya, tentang tinggi hatinya.
“We have heard of the pride of Moab. He is very proud in his loftiness, his pride, his arrogance, and the arrogance of his heart.
30 Aku ini kenal kepongahannya, demikianlah firman TUHAN, tidak benar cakapnya, dan tidak benar perilakunya.
I know his wrath,” says the LORD, “that it is nothing; his boastings have done nothing.
31 Sebab itu aku akan meratap karena Moab, akan berteriak karena Moab seluruhnya, dan akan mengaduh karena orang-orang Kir-Heres!
Therefore I will wail for Moab. Yes, I will cry out for all Moab. They will mourn for the men of Kir Heres.
32 Aku akan menangis karena engkau, lebih dari pada menangis karena Yaezer, hai pohon anggur Sibma! Ranting-rantingmu merambak sampai ke laut, meluas sampai ke Yaezer. Si pembinasa telah jatuh menimpa hasil musim kemaraumu dan panen buah anggurmu.
With more than the weeping of Jazer I will weep for you, vine of Sibmah. Your branches passed over the sea. They reached even to the sea of Jazer. The destroyer has fallen on your summer fruits and on your vintage.
33 Sukaria dan sorak-sorak telah lenyap dari kebun buah-buahan dan dari negeri Moab. Aku telah menjauhkan anggur dari tempat pemerasan; pengirik tidak ada lagi pengiriknya, pekik kegirangan tidak kedengaran lagi.
Gladness and joy is taken away from the fruitful field and from the land of Moab. I have caused wine to cease from the wine presses. No one will tread with shouting. The shouting will be no shouting.
34 Hesybon dan Eleale meraung-raung; orang memperdengarkan suaranya sampai ke Yahas, dari Zoar sampai Horonaim dan Eglat-Selisia; sebab air sungai Nimrim juga menjadi ketandusan.
From the cry of Heshbon even to Elealeh, even to Jahaz they have uttered their voice, from Zoar even to Horonaim, to Eglath Shelishiyah; for the waters of Nimrim will also become desolate.
35 Firman TUHAN: Aku akan menghentikan orang di Moab mempersembahkan korban bakaran di bukit pengorbanan dan mempersembahkan korban ukupan kepada allahnya.
Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab,” says the LORD, “him who offers in the high place, and him who burns incense to his gods.
36 Sebab itu seperti hatiku terharu mendengar suling, begitulah hatiku terharu melihat keadaan Moab, dan hatiku terharu melihat keadaan orang-orang Kir-Heres; bukankah sudah hilang segala harta yang mereka tumpuk?
Therefore my heart sounds for Moab like flutes, and my heart sounds like flutes for the men of Kir Heres. Therefore the abundance that he has gotten has perished.
37 Sungguh, setiap kepala digundul dan setiap janggut dipotong, pada semua tangan ada toreh-torehan dan kain kabung dikenakan pada semua pinggang.
For every head is bald, and every beard clipped. There are cuttings on all the hands, and sackcloth on the waist.
38 Di atas segala sotoh Moab dan di tanah-tanah lapangnya hanya ada perkabungan belaka; --sungguh, Aku telah memecahkan Moab seperti tembikar, sehingga tidak ada orang yang menyukainya, demikianlah firman TUHAN.
On all the housetops of Moab, and in its streets, there is lamentation everywhere; for I have broken Moab like a vessel in which no one delights,” says the LORD.
39 Betapa terkejutnya dia! Betapa Moab menyembunyikan mukanya karena malu! Maka Moab telah menjadi tertawaan dan kekejutan bagi semua yang di sekitarnya.
“How it is broken down! How they wail! How Moab has turned the back with shame! So will Moab become a derision and a terror to all who are around him.”
40 Sebab beginilah firman TUHAN: Sesungguhnya, ia datang melayang seperti burung rajawali dan mengembangkan sayapnya ke atas Moab.
For the LORD says: “Behold, he will fly as an eagle, and will spread out his wings against Moab.
41 Kota-kota direbut, kubu-kubu pertahanan dirampas. Hati para pahlawan Moab pada waktu itu akan seperti hati perempuan yang sakit beranak.
Kerioth is taken, and the strongholds are seized. The heart of the mighty men of Moab at that day will be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
42 Moab akan musnah sebagai bangsa, sebab ia membesarkan diri terhadap TUHAN.
Moab will be destroyed from being a people, because he has magnified himself against the LORD.
43 Kejut dan pelubang dan jerat bagimu, hai penduduk Moab! demikianlah firman TUHAN.
Terror, the pit, and the snare are on you, inhabitant of Moab,” says the LORD.
44 Yang lari dari kekejutan akan jatuh ke dalam pelubang, dan yang naik dari pelubang akan tertangkap dalam jerat. Sungguh, Aku mendatangkan semuanya ini atas Moab di tahun penghukuman atas mereka, demikianlah firman TUHAN.
“He who flees from the terror will fall into the pit; and he who gets up out of the pit will be taken in the snare, for I will bring on him, even on Moab, the year of their visitation,” says the LORD.
45 Di naungan Hesybon orang-orang pelarian berhenti, kehabisan kekuatan; tetapi api keluar dari Hesybon, nyala api dari istana Sihon, yang memakan habis pelipis Moab dan batu kepala orang-orang ribut.
“Those who fled stand without strength under the shadow of Heshbon; for a fire has gone out of Heshbon, and a flame from the middle of Sihon, and has devoured the corner of Moab, and the crown of the head of the tumultuous ones.
46 Celakalah engkau, hai Moab, binasa engkau, hai bangsa dewa Kamos! Sebab anak-anakmu lelaki telah diculik tertawan dan anak-anakmu perempuan menjadi tawanan.
Woe to you, O Moab! The people of Chemosh are undone; for your sons are taken away captive, and your daughters into captivity.
47 Tetapi Aku akan memulihkan keadaan Moab di kemudian hari, demikianlah firman TUHAN." Sampai di sinilah firman penghukuman atas Moab.
“Yet I will reverse the captivity of Moab in the latter days,” says the LORD. Thus far is the judgment of Moab.
