Drought and a Prayer for Mercy
1Firman TUHAN yang datang kepada Yeremia mengenai musim kering. 2Yehuda berkabung, pintu-pintu gerbangnya rebah dan dengan sedih terhantar di tanah; jeritan Yerusalem naik ke atas. 3Pembesar-pembesarnya menyuruh pelayan-pelayannya mencari air; mereka sampai ke sumur-sumur, tetapi tidak menemukan air, sehingga mereka pulang dengan kendi-kendi kosong. Mereka malu, mukanya menjadi merah, sampai mereka menyelubungi kepala mereka. 4Pekerjaan di ladang sudah terhenti, sebab hujan tiada turun di negeri, maka petani-petani merasa kecewa dan menyelubungi kepala mereka. 5Bahkan rusa betina di padang meninggalkan anaknya yang baru lahir, sebab tidak ada rumput muda. 6Keledai-keledai hutan berdiri di atas bukit gundul, mengap-mengap seperti serigala, matanya menjadi lesu, sebab tidak ada rumput. 7"Sekalipun kesalahan-kesalahan kami bersaksi melawan kami, bertindaklah membela kami, ya TUHAN, oleh karena nama-Mu ! Sebab banyak kemurtadan kami, kami telah berdosa kepada-Mu. 8Ya Pengharapan Israel, Penolongnya di waktu kesusahan ! Mengapakah Engkau seperti orang asing di negeri ini, seperti orang perjalanan yang hanya singgah untuk bermalam ? 9Mengapakah Engkau seperti orang yang bingung, seperti pahlawan yang tidak sanggup menolong ? Tetapi Engkau ada di antara kami, ya TUHAN, dan nama-Mu diserukan di atas kami; janganlah tinggalkan kami!"
1That which came as the word of the LORD to Jeremiah regarding the drought: 2“Judah mourns
And her gates languish;
Her people sit on the ground in mourning garments,
And the cry of Jerusalem has ascended. 3“Their nobles have sent their servants for water;
They have come to the cisterns and found no water.
They have returned with their containers empty;
They have been put to shame and humiliated,
And they cover their heads, 4Because the ground is cracked,
For there has been no rain on the land.
The farmers have been put to shame,
They have covered their heads. 5“For even the doe in the field has given birth only to abandon her young,
Because there is no grass. 6“The wild donkeys stand on the bare heights;
They pant for air like jackals,
Their eyes fail
Because there is no vegetation. 7“Though our wrongdoings testify against us,
LORD, act for the sake of Your name!
Our apostasies have indeed been many,
We have sinned against You. 8“Hope of Israel,
Its Savior in time of distress,
Why are You like a stranger in the land,
Or like a traveler who has pitched his tent for the night? 9“Why are You like a confused person,
Like a warrior who cannot save?
Yet You are in our midst, LORD,
And we are called by Your name;
Do not leave us!”
And her gates languish;
Her people sit on the ground in mourning garments,

10Beginilah firman TUHAN tentang bangsa ini: "Mereka sangat senang mengembara dan tidak menahan kakinya. Sebab itu TUHAN tidak berkenan kepada mereka; tetapi sekarang Ia mau mengingat kesalahan mereka dan mau menghukum dosa mereka." 11TUHAN berfirman kepadaku: "Janganlah engkau berdoa untuk kebaikan bangsa ini ! 12Sekalipun mereka berpuasa, Aku tidak akan mendengarkan seruan mereka; sekalipun mereka mempersembahkan korban bakaran dan korban sajian, Aku tidak akan berkenan kepada mereka, melainkan Aku akan menghabiskan mereka dengan perang, dengan kelaparan dan dengan penyakit sampar."
10This is what the LORD says to this people: “So much they have loved to wander; they have not restrained their feet. Therefore the LORD does not accept them; now He will remember their wrongdoing and call their sins to account.” 11So the LORD said to me, “Do not pray for a good outcome on behalf of this people. 12“When they fast, I am not going to listen to their cry; and when they offer burnt offering and grain offering, I am not going to accept them. Rather, I am going to put an end to them by the sword, famine, and plague.”
False Prophets
13Lalu aku berkata: "Aduh, Tuhan ALLAH ! Bukankah para nabi telah berkata kepada mereka: Kamu tidak akan mengalami perang, dan kelaparan tidak akan menimpa kamu, tetapi Aku akan memberikan kepada kamu damai sejahtera yang mantap di tempat ini !" 14Jawab TUHAN kepadaku: "Para nabi itu bernubuat palsu demi nama-Ku ! Aku tidak mengutus mereka, tidak memerintahkan mereka dan tidak berfirman kepada mereka. Mereka menubuatkan kepadamu penglihatan bohong, ramalan kosong dan tipu rekaan hatinya sendiri. 15Sebab itu beginilah firman TUHAN mengenai para nabi yang bernubuat demi nama-Ku, padahal Aku tidak mengutus mereka, dan yang berkata: Perang dan kelaparan tidak akan menimpa negeri ini --: Para nabi itu sendiri akan habis mati oleh perang dan kelaparan ! 16Dan bangsa yang kepadanya mereka bernubuat akan tercampak mati di jalan-jalan Yerusalem, disebabkan oleh kelaparan dan perang, dan tidak ada orang yang akan menguburkan mereka: mereka sendiri, isteri-isteri mereka, anak-anak mereka yang laki-laki dan yang perempuan. Demikianlah akan Kutumpahkan kejahatan mereka ke atas mereka." 17Katakanlah perkataan ini kepada mereka: "Air mataku bercucuran siang dan malam dengan tidak berhenti-henti, sebab anak dara, puteri bangsaku, dilukai dengan luka parah, luka yang sama sekali tidak tersembuhkan. 18Apabila aku keluar ke padang, di sana ada orang-orang yang mati terbunuh oleh pedang ! Apabila aku masuk ke dalam kota, di sana ada orang-orang sakit kelaparan ! Bahkan, baik nabi maupun imam menjelajah negeri yang tidak dikenalnya."
13But I said, “Oh, Lord GOD! Behold, the prophets are telling them, ‘You will not see a sword, nor will you have famine; on the contrary, I will give you lasting peace in this place.’” 14Then the LORD said to me, “The prophets are prophesying falsehood in My name. I have neither sent them nor commanded them, nor spoken to them; they are prophesying to you a false vision, divination, futility, and the deception of their own minds. 15“Therefore this is what the LORD says concerning the prophets who are prophesying in My name, although it was not I who sent them—yet they keep saying: ‘There will be no sword or famine in this land’—by sword and famine those prophets shall meet their end! 16“And the people to whom they are prophesying will be thrown out into the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword; and there will be no one to bury them—neither them, nor their wives, nor their sons, nor their daughters. For I will pour out their own wickedness upon them. 17“You will say this word to them,
‘Let my eyes stream down tears night and day,
And let them not cease;
For the virgin daughter of my people has been crushed with a mighty blow,
With a sorely infected wound. 18‘If I go out to the country,
There are those killed by the sword!
Or if I enter the city,
There are diseases from famine!
For both prophet and priest
Have wandered around in the land that they do not know.’”

Or if I enter the city,

19Telah Kautolakkah Yehuda sama sekali ? Telah merasa muakkah Engkau terhadap Sion ? Mengapakah kami Kaupukul sedemikian, hingga tidak ada kesembuhan lagi bagi kami? Kami mengharapkan damai sejahtera, tetapi tidak datang sesuatu yang baik; mengharapkan waktu kesembuhan, tetapi hanya ada kengerian ! 20Ya TUHAN, kami mengetahui kefasikan kami dan kesalahan nenek moyang kami; sungguh, kami telah berdosa kepada-Mu. 21Janganlah Engkau menampik kami, oleh karena nama-Mu, dan janganlah Engkau menghinakan takhta kemuliaan-Mu ! Ingatlah perjanjian-Mu dengan kami, janganlah membatalkannya ! 22Adakah yang dapat menurunkan hujan di antara dewa kesia-siaan bangsa-bangsa itu? Atau dapatkah langit sendiri memberi hujan lebat ? Bukankah hanya Engkau saja, ya TUHAN Allah kami, Pengharapan kami, yang membuat semuanya itu ?
19Have You completely rejected Judah?
Or have You loathed Zion?
Why have You stricken us so that we are beyond healing?
We waited for peace, but nothing good came;
And for a time of healing, but behold, terror! 20We know our wickedness, LORD,
The wrongdoing of our fathers, for we have sinned against You. 21Do not despise us, for the sake of Your own name;
Do not disgrace the throne of Your glory.
Remember and do not annul Your covenant with us. 22Are there any among the idols of the nations who give rain?
Or can the heavens grant showers?
Is it not You, LORD our God?
Therefore we wait for You,
For You are the one who has done all these things.
Or have You loathed Zion?
Why have You stricken us so that we are beyond healing?

And for a time of healing, but behold, terror! 20We know our wickedness, LORD,
The wrongdoing of our fathers, for we have sinned against You. 21Do not despise us, for the sake of Your own name;
Do not disgrace the throne of Your glory.
Remember and do not annul Your covenant with us. 22Are there any among the idols of the nations who give rain?
Or can the heavens grant showers?
Is it not You, LORD our God?
Therefore we wait for You,
For You are the one who has done all these things.
