Ephraim’s Captivity Predicted
1Celaka atas mahkota kemegahan pemabuk-pemabuk Efraim, atas bunga yang sudah mulai layu di perhiasan kepala mereka yang indah-indah -- yaitu kota yang terletak tinggi di atas bukit, di atas lembah yang subur yang penuh peminum anggur yang sudah pening --! 2Sesungguhnya, pada Tuhan ada seorang yang kuat dan tegap, seorang yang seperti angin ribut disertai hujan batu, yakni badai yang membinasakan, seorang yang seperti angin ribut disertai air hujan yang hebat menghanyutkan; ia akan menghempaskan mereka ke tanah dengan kekerasan. 3Mahkota kemegahan pemabuk-pemabuk Efraim itu akan diinjak-injak dengan kaki, 4dan bunga yang sudah mulai layu di perhiasan kepala mereka yang indah-indah itu -- yaitu kota yang terletak tinggi di atas bukit, di atas lembah yang subur -- nasibnya akan seperti nasib buah ara yang masak duluan sebelum musim kemarau: baru saja dilihat orang terus dipetik dan ditelan. 5Pada waktu itu TUHAN semesta alam akan menjadi mahkota kepermaian, dan perhiasan kepala yang indah-indah bagi sisa umat-Nya, 6akan menjadi roh keadilan bagi orang yang duduk mengadili, dan menjadi roh kepahlawanan bagi orang yang memukul mundur peperangan ke arah pintu gerbang. 7Tetapi orang-orang di sinipun pening karena anggur dan pusing karena arak. Baik imam maupun nabi pening karena arak, kacau oleh anggur; mereka pusing oleh arak, pening pada waktu melihat penglihatan, goyang pada waktu memberi keputusan. 8Sungguh, segala meja penuh dengan muntah, kotoran, sehingga tidak ada tempat yang bersih lagi.
1Woe to the proud crown of the habitually drunk of Ephraim,
And to the fading flower of its glorious beauty,
Which is at the head of the fertile valley
Of those who are overcome with wine! 2Behold, the Lord has a strong and mighty agent;
As a storm of hail, a tempest of destruction,
Like a storm of mighty overflowing waters,
He has thrown it down to the earth with His hand. 3The splendid crown of the habitually drunk of Ephraim is trampled underfoot. 4And the fading flower of its glorious beauty,
Which is at the head of the fertile valley,
Will be like the first-ripe fig prior to the summer,
Which one sees,
And as soon as it is in his hand,
He swallows it. 5On that day the LORD of armies will become a beautiful crown
And a glorious wreath to the remnant of His people; 6A spirit of justice for him who sits in judgment,
A strength to those who repel the onslaught at the gate. 7And these also reel with wine and stagger from intoxicating drink:
The priest and the prophet reel with intoxicating drink,
They are confused by wine, they stagger from intoxicating drink;
They reel while having visions,
They stagger when rendering a verdict. 8For all the tables are full of filthy vomit, without a single clean place.
And to the fading flower of its glorious beauty,

Judah Is Warned
9Dan orang berkata: "Kepada siapakah dia ini mau mengajarkan pengetahuannya dan kepada siapakah ia mau menjelaskan nubuat-nubuatnya ? Seolah-olah kepada anak yang baru disapih, dan yang baru cerai susu ! 10Sebab harus ini harus itu, mesti begini mesti begitu, tambah ini, tambah itu !" 11Sungguh, oleh orang-orang yang berlogat ganjil dan oleh orang-orang yang berbahasa asing akan berbicara kepada bangsa ini 12Dia yang telah berfirman kepada mereka: "Inilah tempat perhentian, berilah perhentian kepada orang yang lelah; inilah tempat peristirahatan !" Tetapi mereka tidak mau mendengarkan. 13Maka mereka akan mendengarkan firman TUHAN yang begini: "Harus ini harus itu, mesti begini mesti begitu, tambah ini tambah itu !" supaya dalam berjalan mereka jatuh telentang, sehingga luka, tertangkap dan tertawan. 14Sebab itu dengarlah firman TUHAN, hai orang-orang pencemooh, hai orang-orang yang memerintah rakyat yang ada di Yerusalem ini ! 15Karena kamu telah berkata: "Kami telah mengikat perjanjian dengan maut, dan dengan dunia maut kami telah mengadakan persetujuan; biarpun cemeti berdesik-desik dengan kerasnya, kami tidak akan kena; sebab kami telah membuat bohong sebagai perlindungan kami, dan dalam dusta kami menyembunyikan diri," 16sebab itu beginilah firman Tuhan ALLAH: "Sesungguhnya, Aku meletakkan sebagai dasar di Sion sebuah batu, batu yang teruji, sebuah batu penjuru yang mahal, suatu dasar yang teguh: Siapa yang percaya, tidak akan gelisah ! 17Dan Aku akan membuat keadilan menjadi tali pengukur, dan kebenaran menjadi tali sipat; hujan batu akan menyapu bersih perlindungan bohong, dan air lebat akan menghanyutkan persembunyian." 18Perjanjianmu dengan maut itu akan ditiadakan, dan persetujuanmu dengan dunia orang mati itu tidak akan tetap berlaku; apabila cemeti berdesik-desik dengan kerasnya, kamu akan hancur diinjak-injak. 19Seberapa kali ia datang, ia akan menyeret kamu, sebab pagi demi pagi ia akan datang, pada waktu siang dan pada waktu malam; maka adalah semata-mata kengerian untuk mengerti firman yang didengar itu. 20Sebab tempat tidur akan kurang panjang untuk dipakai membujurkan diri dan selimut akan kurang lebar untuk dipakai menyelubungi diri. 21Sebab TUHAN akan bangkit seperti di gunung Perasim, Ia akan mengamuk seperti di lembah dekat Gibeon, untuk melakukan perbuatan-Nya -- ganjil perbuatan-Nya itu; dan untuk mengerjakan pekerjaan-Nya -- ajaib pekerjaan-Nya itu! 22Oleh sebab itu, janganlah kamu mencemooh, supaya tali belenggumu jangan semakin keras, sebab kudengar tentang kebinasaan yang sudah pasti yang datang dari Tuhan ALLAH semesta alam atas seluruh negeri itu.
9“To whom would He teach knowledge,
And to whom would He interpret the message?
Those just weaned from milk?
Those just taken from the breast? 10“For He says,
‘Order on order, order on order,
Line on line, line on line,
A little here, a little there.’” 11Indeed, He will speak to this people
Through stammering lips and a foreign tongue, 12He who said to them, “This is the place of quiet, give rest to the weary,”
And, “This is the resting place,” but they would not listen. 13So the word of the LORD to them will be,
“Order on order, order on order,
Line on line, line on line,
A little here, a little there,”
That they may go and stumble backward, be broken, snared, and taken captive. 14Therefore, hear the word of the LORD, you scoffers,
Who rule this people who are in Jerusalem, 15Because you have said, “We have made a covenant with death,
And with Sheol we have made a pact.
The gushing flood will not reach us when it passes by,
Because we have made falsehood our refuge and we have concealed ourselves with deception.” 16Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says:
“Behold, I am laying a stone in Zion, a tested stone,
A precious cornerstone for the foundation, firmly placed.
The one who believes in it will not be disturbed. 17“I will make justice the measuring line
And righteousness the level;
Then hail will sweep away the refuge of lies,
And the waters will overflow the secret place. 18“Your covenant with death will be canceled,
And your pact with Sheol will not stand;
When the gushing flood passes through,
Then you will become its trampling ground. 19“As often as it passes through, it will seize you;
For morning after morning it will pass through, anytime during the day or night,
And it will be sheer terror to understand what it means.” 20The bed is too short on which to stretch out,
And the blanket is too small to wrap oneself in. 21For the LORD will rise up as at Mount Perazim,
He will be stirred up as in the Valley of Gibeon,
To do His task, His unusual task,
And to work His work, His extraordinary work. 22And now do not carry on as scoffers,
Or your shackles will be made stronger;
For I have heard from the Lord GOD of armies
Of decisive destruction on all the earth.
And to whom would He interpret the message?
Those just weaned from milk?
Those just taken from the breast? 10“For He says,
‘Order on order, order on order,
Line on line, line on line,

23Pasanglah telinga dan dengarkanlah suaraku; perhatikanlah dan dengarkanlah perkataanku ! 24Setiap harikah orang membajak, mencangkul dan menyisir tanahnya untuk menabur ? 25Bukankah setelah meratakan tanahnya, ia menyerakkan jintan hitam dan menebarkan jintan putih, menaruh gandum jawawut dan jelai kehitam-hitaman dan sekoi di pinggirnya ? 26Mengenai adat kebiasaan ia telah diajari, diberi petunjuk oleh Allahnya. 27Sebab jintan hitam tidak diirik dengan eretan pengirik, dan roda gerobak tidak dipakai untuk menggiling jintan putih, tetapi jintan hitam diirik dengan memukul-mukulnya dengan galah, dan jintan putih dengan tongkat. 28Apakah orang waktu mengirik memukul gandum sampai hancur ? sungguh tidak, orang tidak terus-menerus memukulnya sampai hancur ! Dan sekalipun orang menjalankan di atas gandum itu jentera gerobak dengan kudanya, namun orang tidak akan menggilingnya sampai hancur. 29Dan inipun datangnya dari TUHAN semesta alam; Ia ajaib dalam keputusan dan agung dalam kebijaksanaan.
23Listen and hear my voice,
Pay attention and hear my words. 24Does the farmer plow continually to plant seed?
Does he continually turn and break up his ground? 25Does he not level its surface
And sow dill and scatter cumin
And plant wheat in rows,
Barley in its place and rye within its area? 26For his God instructs and teaches him properly. 27For dill is not threshed with a threshing sledge,
Nor is the cartwheel driven over cumin;
But dill is beaten out with a rod, and cumin with a club. 28Grain for bread is crushed,
Indeed, he does not continue to thresh it forever.
Because the wheel of his cart and his horses eventually damage it,
He does not thresh it longer. 29This also comes from the LORD of armies,
Who has made His counsel wonderful and His wisdom great.
