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:

To Moab, Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this, “Woe to Nebo, for it has been devastated. Kiriathaim has been humiliated and captured. Her fortress has been disgraced and crushed.

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 honor of Moab is no more. Their enemies in Heshbon plotted disaster against her. They said, 'Come and let us destroy her as a nation. Madmen will also perish—a sword will go after you.'

3 Dengar! Teriakan dari Horonaim: Kebinasaan! Kehancuran besar!

Listen! A sound of screaming is coming from Horonaim, where there is ruin and great destruction.

4 Moab telah hancur lebur! kedengaran orang berteriak sampai ke Zoar.

Moab has been destroyed. Her children have made their cries heard.

5 Sungguh, orang mendaki pendakian Luhit sambil menangis. Sungguh, di jalan turun ke Horonaim orang mendengar teriak karena ditimpa bencana.

They go up the hill of Luhith weeping, for on the way down to Horonaim, screams are heard because of the destruction.

6 Larilah, selamatkanlah nyawamu: jadilah seperti keledai liar di padang gurun!

Flee! Save your lives and become like a 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 of your trust in your practices and your wealth, you also will be captured. Then Chemosh will go away into captivity, together with his priests and leaders.

8 Pembinasa akan datang ke setiap kota, tidak ada kota yang terluput! Lembah akan binasa, tanah datar habis musnah, seperti yang difirmankan TUHAN.

For the destroyer will come to every city; no city will escape. So the valley will perish and the plain will be devastated, as Yahweh has said.

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, for she must certainly fly away. Her cities will become a wasteland, where there is no one to live in them.

10 Terkutuklah orang yang melaksanakan pekerjaan TUHAN dengan lalai, dan terkutuklah orang yang menghambat pedang-Nya dari penumpahan darah!

May anyone who is lazy in doing Yahweh's work be cursed! May anyone who keeps his sword back from shedding blood be cursed!

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 felt secure since he was young. He is like his wine that has never been poured from pot to pot. He has never gone into captivity. Therefore he tastes as good as ever; his flavor remains unchanged.

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.

So see, the days are coming—this is Yahweh's declaration—when I will send him those who will tip him over and pour out all his pots and shatter his jars.

13 Maka Moab akan menjadi malu oleh karena dewa Kamos, sama seperti kaum Israel menjadi malu oleh karena Betel, kepercayaan mereka.

Then Moab will be ashamed of Chemosh just as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel, their object of trust.

14 Bagaimanakah kamu berani berkata: Kami adalah pahlawan-pahlawan, orang-orang gagah perkasa untuk berperang!

How can you say, 'We are soldiers, powerful fighting men'?

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 will be devastated and its cities attacked. For its finest young men have gone down to the place of slaughter. This is the king's declaration! Yahweh of hosts is his name.

16 Bencana Moab sudah hampir datang, malapetakanya sangat segera sampai.

Moab's disaster is soon to happen; calamity is hurrying quickly.

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 Moab, wail; and all you who know its fame, shout this, 'Woe, the strong staff, the honored rod, has been broken.'

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.

Come down from your honored place and sit on the dry ground, you daughter living in Dibon. For the one who will destroy Moab is attacking you, the one who will destroy 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?

Stand on the road and watch, you people who live in Aroer. Ask the ones who are fleeing and escaping. Say, 'What has happened?'

20 Moab sudah malu, karena ia terkejut! Merataplah dan berteriaklah, beritahukanlah di sungai Arnon: Sungguh, Moab sudah binasa!

Moab has been shamed, for it has been shattered. Howl and lament; shout for help. Tell it to people by the Arnon River that Moab has been devastated.

21 Penghukuman telah berlaku atas daerah dataran tinggi, atas kota-kota Holon, Yahas, Mefaat,

Now punishment has come to the hill country, to Holon, Jahzah, and Mephaath,

22 Dibon, Nebo, Bet-Diblataim,

to Dibon, Nebo, and Beth Diblathaim,

23 Kiryataim, Bet-Gamul, Bet-Meon,

to Kiriathaim, Beth Gamul, and Beth Meon,

24 Keriot, Bozra dan atas segala kota negeri Moab yang jauh dan yang dekat.

To Kerioth and Bozrah, and to all the cities in the land of Moab— the farthest and the closest cities.

25 Telah patah tanduk kekuatan Moab, dan lengan kekuasaannya telah pecah! demikianlah firman TUHAN.

The horn of Moab has been hacked off; its arm has been broken—this is Yahweh's declaration.

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, because he acted proudly against Yahweh. Let Moab wallow in his vomit, and let him be an object of ridicule.

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 did not Israel become an object for laughter to you? Was he found among thieves, so that you shook your head at him as often as you spoke about him?

28 Tinggalkanlah kota-kota dan diamlah di bukit batu, hai penduduk Moab! Jadilah seperti burung merpati yang bersarang di dinding mulut liang.

Abandon the cities and camp on the cliffs, inhabitants of Moab. Become like a dove that is nesting over the mouth of a hole in the rocks.

29 Kami telah mendengar tentang keangkuhan Moab, alangkah angkuhnya dia, tentang kesombongannya, keangkuhannya dan kecongkakannya, tentang tinggi hatinya.

We have heard of Moab's pride—his arrogance, his haughtiness, his pride, his self-glory and the conceit in his heart.

30 Aku ini kenal kepongahannya, demikianlah firman TUHAN, tidak benar cakapnya, dan tidak benar perilakunya.

This is Yahweh's declaration—I myself know his defiant speech, which amounts to nothing, like his deeds.

31 Sebab itu aku akan meratap karena Moab, akan berteriak karena Moab seluruhnya, dan akan mengaduh karena orang-orang Kir-Heres!

So I will howl a lament for Moab, and I will shout in sorrow for all of Moab. I will lament for the people of Kir Hareseth.

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.

I will weep for you more than I did for Jazer, vine of Sibmah! Your branches passed across the Salt Sea and reached as far as Jazer. The destroyers have attacked your summer fruit and your wine.

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.

So celebration and rejoicing have been taken away from the fruit trees and the land of Moab. I have put an end to the wine from their winepresses. They will not tread with joyful shouts. Any shouts will not be shouts of joy.

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 shouts at Heshbon as far as Elealeh, their sound is heard at Jahaz, from Zoar to Horonaim and Eglath Shelishiyah, since even the waters of Nimrim have dried up.

35 Firman TUHAN: Aku akan menghentikan orang di Moab mempersembahkan korban bakaran di bukit pengorbanan dan mempersembahkan korban ukupan kepada allahnya.

For I will put an end to anyone in Moab who makes sacrifices on the high places and burns incense to his gods—this is Yahweh's declaration.

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?

So my heart is lamenting for Moab like a flute. My heart is lamenting like flutes for the people of Kir Hareseth. The riches they gained are gone.

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 shaved. Incisions are on every hand, and sackcloth is around their waists.

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.

There is mourning everywhere, on every flat roof of Moab and in Moab's plazas. For I have destroyed Moab like pots that no one wants—this is Yahweh's declaration.

39 Betapa terkejutnya dia! Betapa Moab menyembunyikan mukanya karena malu! Maka Moab telah menjadi tertawaan dan kekejutan bagi semua yang di sekitarnya.

How it has been shattered! How they howl in their lamenting! Moab turns its back in shame! So Moab will become an object of derision and a terror to all those who are around him.”

40 Sebab beginilah firman TUHAN: Sesungguhnya, ia datang melayang seperti burung rajawali dan mengembangkan sayapnya ke atas Moab.

For Yahweh says this, “See, the enemy will come flying like an eagle, spreading out his wings over Moab.

41 Kota-kota direbut, kubu-kubu pertahanan dirampas. Hati para pahlawan Moab pada waktu itu akan seperti hati perempuan yang sakit beranak.

Kerioth has been captured, and its strongholds have been seized. For in that day the hearts of Moab's soldiers will be like the hearts of women in birth labor.

42 Moab akan musnah sebagai bangsa, sebab ia membesarkan diri terhadap TUHAN.

So Moab will be destroyed and be no longer a people, because he made himself to be great against Yahweh.

43 Kejut dan pelubang dan jerat bagimu, hai penduduk Moab! demikianlah firman TUHAN.

Terror and the pit, and a trap are coming on you, inhabitant of Moab—this is Yahweh's declaration.

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.

Anyone who flees because of terror will fall into the pit, and anyone who climbs out of the pit will be caught in the trap, for I will bring this on them in the year of my vengeance against them—this is Yahweh's declaration.

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.

The ones who flee will stand in the shadow of Heshbon without any strength, for fire will go out from Heshbon, flame from the middle of Sihon. It will devour the forehead of Moab and the top of the heads of the boastful people.

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, Moab! Chemosh's people are destroyed, For your sons are taken as captives 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.

But I will restore the fortunes of Moab in later days—this is Yahweh's declaration.” The judgment on Moab ends here.
