Jeremiah’s Prayer
1Engkau memang benar, ya TUHAN, bilamana aku berbantah dengan Engkau! Tetapi aku mau berbicara dengan Engkau tentang keadilan: Mengapakah mujur hidup orang-orang fasik, sentosa semua orang yang berlaku tidak setia ? 2Engkau membuat mereka tumbuh, dan merekapun juga berakar, mereka tumbuh subur dan menghasilkan buah juga. Memang selalu Engkau di mulut mereka, tetapi jauh dari hati mereka. 3Ya TUHAN, Engkau mengenal aku, Engkau melihat aku, dan Engkau menguji bagaimana hatiku terhadap Engkau. Tariklah mereka ke luar seperti domba-domba sembelihan, dan khususkanlah mereka untuk hari penyembelihan. -- 4Berapa lama lagi negeri ini menjadi kering, dan rumput di segenap padang menjadi layu ? Karena kejahatan penduduknya binatang-binatang dan burung-burung habis lenyap, sebab mereka telah mengira: "Ia tidak akan melihat tingkah langkah kita!"
1Righteous are You, LORD, when I plead my case with You;
Nevertheless I would discuss matters of justice with You:
Why has the way of the wicked prospered?
Why are all those who deal in treachery at ease?
2You have planted them, they have also taken root;
They grow, they have also produced fruit.
You are near to their lips
But far from their mind.
3But You know me, LORD;
You see me
And examine my heart’s attitude toward You.
Drag them off like sheep for the slaughter,
And set them apart for a day of slaughter!
4How long is the land to mourn,
And the vegetation of the countryside to dry up?
Due to the wickedness of those who live in it,
Animals and birds have been snatched away,
Because people have said, “He will not see our final end.”

5"Jika engkau telah berlari dengan orang berjalan kaki, dan engkau telah dilelahkan, bagaimanakah engkau hendak berpacu melawan kuda ? Dan jika di negeri yang damai engkau tidak merasa tenteram, apakah yang akan engkau perbuat di hutan belukar sungai Yordan ? 6Sebab saudara-saudaramu dan kaum keluargamu, mereka sendiri juga berbuat khianat terhadap engkau; mereka juga bersama-sama di belakangmu. Janganlah percaya kepada mereka, sekalipun mereka berkata manis kepadamu !
5“If you have run with infantrymen and they have tired you out,
How can you compete with horses?
If you fall down in a land of peace,
How will you do in the thicket by the Jordan?
6“For even your brothers and the household of your father,
Even they have dealt treacherously with you,
Even they have called aloud after you.
Do not believe them, though they say nice things to you.”

God’s Answer
7Aku telah meninggalkan kediaman-Ku, telah membuangkan negeri milik-Ku; Aku telah menyerahkan buah hati-Ku ke dalam tangan musuhnya. 8Negeri milik-Ku sudah menjadi seperti singa di hutan bagi-Ku; ia mengeraskan suaranya menentang Aku, sebab itu Aku membencinya. 9Negeri milik-Ku sudah menjadi seperti burung belang bagi-Ku; burung-burung buas mengerumuninya. Ayo, kumpulkanlah segala binatang di padang, bawalah untuk menghabiskannya ! 10Banyak gembala telah merusakkan kebun anggur-Ku, memijak-mijak tanah-Ku, dan membuat tanah kedambaan-Ku menjadi padang gurun yang sunyi sepi. 11Ya, mereka telah membuatnya sunyi sepi, sunyi sepi tanah itu berkabung di hadapan-Ku ! Sunyi sepi sekarang segenap negeri itu, tetapi tidak ada orang yang memperhatikannya. 12Para pembinasa telah datang melintasi segala bukit gundul di padang gurun; sebab pedang TUHAN mengamuk makan dari ujung negeri yang satu ke ujung lain; tidak ada damai bagi segala yang hidup. 13Mereka telah menabur gandum, tetapi yang dituai adalah semak duri; mereka telah bersusah payah, tetapi usaha mereka tidak berguna; mereka malu karena hasil yang diperoleh mereka, akibat dari murka TUHAN yang menyala-nyala."
7“I have forsaken My house,
I have abandoned My inheritance;
I have handed the beloved of My soul
Over to her enemies.
8“My inheritance has become to Me
Like a lion in the forest;
She has roared against Me;
Therefore I have come to hate her.
9“Is My inheritance like a speckled bird of prey to Me?
Are the birds of prey against her on every side?
Go, gather all the animals of the field,
Bring them to devour!
10“Many shepherds have ruined My vineyard,
They have trampled down My field;
They have made My pleasant field
A desolate wilderness.
11“It has been made a desolation;
Desolate, it mourns before Me;
The whole land has been made desolate,
Because no one takes it to heart.
12“On all the bare heights in the wilderness
Destroyers have come,
For the sword of the LORD is devouring
From one end of the land even to the other;
There is no peace for anyone.
13“They have sown wheat but have harvested thorns,
They have strained themselves to no profit.
So be ashamed of your produce
Because of the fierce anger of the LORD.”

14Beginilah firman TUHAN: "Mengenai sekalian tetangga-Ku yang jahat yang telah mengusik negeri yang telah Kuberikan sebagai milik pusaka kepada umat-Ku Israel, bahwasanya Aku akan mencabut mereka dari tanah mereka dan Aku mencabut kaum Yehuda dari tengah-tengah mereka. 15Tetapi setelah Aku mencabut mereka, maka Aku akan menyayangi mereka kembali. Aku akan mengembalikan mereka masing-masing ke milik pusakanya dan masing-masing ke negerinya. 16Dan jika mereka sungguh-sungguh belajar cara hidup umat-Ku sehingga bersumpah demi nama-Ku: Demi TUHAN yang hidup, seperti tadinya mereka mengajar umat-Ku untuk bersumpah demi Baal, maka mereka akan dibangun di tengah-tengah umat-Ku. 17Tetapi jika mereka tidak mau mendengarkan, maka Aku akan sungguh-sungguh mencabut dan membinasakan bangsa yang demikian, demikianlah firman TUHAN."
14This is what the LORD says concerning all My wicked neighbors who do harm to the inheritance with which I have endowed My people Israel: “Behold, I am going to drive them out of their land, and I will drive the house of Judah out from among them. 15“And it will come about that after I have driven them out, I will again have compassion on them; and I will bring them back, each one to his inheritance and each one to his land. 16“Then, if they will really learn the ways of My people, to swear by My name, ‘As the LORD lives,’ just as they taught My people to swear by Baal, they will be built up in the midst of My people. 17“But if they do not listen, then I will drive out that nation, drive it out and destroy it,” declares the LORD.
