The Ruined Undergarment
1Beginilah firman TUHAN kepadaku: "Pergilah membeli ikat pinggang lenan, ikatkanlah itu pada pinggangmu, tetapi jangan kaucelupkan ke dalam air !" 2Maka aku membeli ikat pinggang seperti yang difirmankan TUHAN, lalu mengikatkannya pada pinggangku. 3Sesudah itu datanglah firman TUHAN kepadaku untuk kedua kalinya, bunyinya: 4"Ambillah ikat pinggang yang telah kaubeli dan yang sekarang pada pinggangmu itu! Pergilah segera ke sungai Efrat untuk menyembunyikannya di sana di celah-celah bukit batu !" 5Maka pergilah aku, lalu menyembunyikannya di pinggir sungai Efrat seperti yang diperintahkan TUHAN kepadaku. 6Sesudah beberapa waktu lamanya, berfirmanlah TUHAN kepadaku: "Pergilah segera ke sungai Efrat mengambil dari sana ikat pinggang yang Kuperintahkan kausembunyikan di sana !" 7Maka pergilah aku ke sungai Efrat, lalu aku menggali dan mengambil ikat pinggang itu dari tempat aku menyembunyikannya, tetapi ternyata ikat pinggang itu sudah lapuk, tidak berguna untuk apapun.
1This is what the LORD said to me: “Go and buy yourself a linen undergarment and put it around your waist, but do not put it in water.” 2So I bought the undergarment in accordance with the word of the LORD, and put it around my waist. 3Then the word of the LORD came to me a second time, saying, 4“Take the undergarment that you bought, which is around your waist, and arise, go to the Euphrates and hide it there in a crevice of the rock.” 5So I went and hid it by the Euphrates, as the LORD had commanded me. 6After many days the LORD said to me, “Arise, go to the Euphrates and take from there the undergarment which I commanded you to hide there.” 7Then I went to the Euphrates and dug, and I took the undergarment from the place where I had hidden it; and behold, the undergarment was ruined, it was completely useless.
8Lalu datanglah firman TUHAN kepadaku: 9"Beginilah firman TUHAN: Demikianlah Aku akan menghapuskan kecongkakbongakan Yehuda dan Yerusalem. 10Bangsa yang jahat ini, yang enggan mendengarkan perkataan-perkataan-Ku, yang mengikuti kedegilan hatinya dan mengikuti allah lain untuk beribadah dan sujud menyembah kepada mereka, akan menjadi seperti ikat pinggang ini yang tidak berguna untuk apapun. 11Sebab seperti ikat pinggang melekat pada pinggang seseorang, demikianlah tadinya segenap kaum Israel dan segenap kaum Yehuda Kulekatkan kepada-Ku, demikianlah firman TUHAN, supaya mereka itu menjadi umat, menjadi ternama, terpuji dan terhormat bagi-Ku. Tetapi mereka itu tidak mau mendengar."
8Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 9“This is what the LORD says: ‘To the same extent I will destroy the pride of Judah and the great pride of Jerusalem. 10‘This wicked people, who refuse to listen to My words, who walk in the stubbornness of their hearts and have followed other gods to serve them and to bow down to them, let them be just like this undergarment which is completely useless. 11‘For as the undergarment clings to the waist of a man, so I made the entire household of Israel and the entire household of Judah cling to Me,’ declares the LORD, ‘so that they might be My people, for renown, for praise, and for glory; but they did not listen.’
Captivity Threatened
12"Katakanlah kepada mereka firman ini: Beginilah firman TUHAN, Allah Israel: Setiap buyung harus dipenuhi dengan anggur ! Dan jika mereka berkata kepadamu: Masakan kami tidak tahu betul, bahwa setiap buyung harus dipenuhi dengan anggur ?, 13maka katakanlah kepada mereka: Beginilah firman TUHAN: Sesungguhnya, seluruh penduduk negeri ini akan Kupenuhi dengan kemabukan: para raja yang duduk di atas takhta Daud, para imam, para nabi dan seluruh penduduk Yerusalem. 14Aku akan membantingkan seorang kepada yang lain sampai mereka hancur, bapa-bapa dengan anak-anaknya, demikianlah firman TUHAN. Aku akan membinasakan mereka tanpa belas kasihan, tanpa merasa sayang dan tanpa ampun."
12“Therefore you are to speak this word to them. ‘This is what the LORD, the God of Israel says: “Every jug is to be filled with wine.”’ And when they say to you, ‘Do we not very well know that every jug is to be filled with wine?’ 13then say to them, ‘This is what the LORD says: “Behold, I am going to fill all the inhabitants of this land—the kings who sit for David on his throne, the priests, the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem—with drunkenness! 14“Then I will smash them against each other, both the fathers and the sons together,” declares the LORD. “I will not have compassion nor be troubled nor take pity so as to keep from destroying them.”’”
15Dengarlah, pasanglah telingamu, janganlah kamu tinggi hati, sebab TUHAN telah berfirman. 16Permuliakanlah TUHAN, Allahmu, sebelum Ia membuat hari menjadi gelap, sebelum kakimu tersandung di atas bukit-bukit yang diliputi senja, sementara kamu menanti-nantikan terang, tetapi Ia menjadikan hari kelam pekat dan mengubahnya menjadi gelap gulita. 17Jika kamu tidak mau mendengarkannya, aku akan menangis di tempat yang tersembunyi oleh karena kesombonganmu, air mataku akan berlinang-linang, bahkan akan bercucuran, oleh sebab kawanan domba TUHAN diangkut tertawan. 18Katakanlah kepada raja dan kepada ibu suri: "Duduklah di tempat yang rendah sekali, sebab mahkota kemuliaanmu sudah turun dari kepalamu !" 19Kota-kota tanah Negeb sudah ditutup gerbangnya, dan tidak ada seorangpun yang membukanya. Segenap Yehuda sudah diangkut ke dalam pembuangan, diangkut ke dalam pembuangan seluruhnya.
15Listen and pay attention, do not be haughty;
For the LORD has spoken. 16Give glory to the LORD your God
Before He brings darkness
And before your feet stumble
On the mountains in the dark,
And while you are hoping for light
He makes it into gloom,
And turns it into thick darkness. 17But if you do not listen to it,
My soul will weep in secret for such pride;
And my eyes will shed
And stream down tears,
Because the flock of the LORD has been taken captive. 18Say to the king and the queen mother,
“Take a lowly seat,
For your beautiful crown
Has come down from your head.” 19The cities of the Negev have been locked up,
And there is no one to open them;
All Judah has been taken into exile,
Wholly taken into exile.
For the LORD has spoken. 16Give glory to the LORD your God
Before He brings darkness
And before your feet stumble
On the mountains in the dark,
And while you are hoping for light
He makes it into gloom,
And turns it into thick darkness. 17But if you do not listen to it,
My soul will weep in secret for such pride;
And my eyes will shed
And stream down tears,
Because the flock of the LORD has been taken captive. 18Say to the king and the queen mother,
“Take a lowly seat,
For your beautiful crown
Has come down from your head.” 19The cities of the Negev have been locked up,
And there is no one to open them;
All Judah has been taken into exile,
Wholly taken into exile.
20Layangkanlah matamu, hai Yerusalem, dan lihatlah, ada orang-orang datang dari utara ! Di manakah kawanan ternak yang diberikan kepadamu, kambing domba yang menjadi kemuliaanmu ? 21Apakah yang kaukatakan, apabila diangkat menjadi kepalamu orang-orang yang kauperlakukan sebagai pacar ? Bukankah kesakitan akan menyergap engkau seperti halnya seorang perempuan yang melahirkan ? 22Dan apabila engkau bertanya dalam hatimu: "Mengapakah semuanya ini menimpa aku?" Karena banyaknya kesalahanmulah maka disingkapkan ujung kainmu dan engkau diperkosa ! 23Dapatkah orang Etiopia mengganti kulitnya atau macan tutul mengubah belangnya ? Masakan kamu dapat berbuat baik, hai orang-orang yang membiasakan diri berbuat jahat ? 24Aku akan menghamburkan mereka seperti sekam yang diterbangkan angin padang gurun. 25Itulah nasibmu, bagianmu yang telah Kuukur untukmu, demikianlah firman TUHAN, karena engkau melupakan Aku, dan mempercayai dusta. 26Akupun juga akan mengangkat ujung kainmu sampai kepada mukamu, sehingga kelihatan auratmu. 27Zinahmu dan ringkikmu, persundalanmu yang mesum di atas bukit-bukit dan di padang-padang, Aku sudah melihat perbuatanmu yang keji itu. Celakalah engkau, hai Yerusalem, berapa lama lagi hingga engkau menjadi tahir ?
20“Raise your eyes and see
Those coming from the north.
Where is the flock that was given you,
Your beautiful sheep? 21“What will you say when He appoints over you—
And you yourself had taught them—
Former companions to be head over you?
Will sharp pains not take hold of you
Like a woman in childbirth? 22“If you say in your heart,
‘Why have these things happened to me?’
Because of the magnitude of your wrongdoing
Your skirts have been removed
And your heels have suffered violence. 23“Can the Ethiopian change his skin,
Or the leopard his spots?
Then you as well can do good
Who are accustomed to doing evil. 24“Therefore I will scatter them like drifting straw
To the desert wind. 25“This is your lot, the portion measured to you
From Me,” declares the LORD,
“Because you have forgotten Me
And trusted in falsehood. 26“So I Myself have stripped your skirts off over your face,
So that your shame will be seen. 27“As for your adulteries and your lustful neighings,
The outrageous sin of your prostitution
On the hills in the field,
I have seen your abominations.
Woe to you, Jerusalem!
How long will you remain unclean?”
