Judah’s Apostasy
1Firman TUHAN datang kepadaku, bunyinya: 2"Pergilah memberitahukan kepada penduduk Yerusalem dengan mengatakan: Beginilah firman TUHAN: Aku teringat kepada kasihmu pada masa mudamu, kepada cintamu pada waktu engkau menjadi pengantin, bagaimana engkau mengikuti Aku di padang gurun, di negeri yang tiada tetaburannya. 3Ketika itu Israel kudus bagi TUHAN, sebagai buah bungaran dari hasil tanah-Nya. Semua orang yang memakannya menjadi bersalah, malapetaka menimpa mereka, demikianlah firman TUHAN.
1Now the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2“Go and proclaim in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, ‘This is what the LORD says:
“I remember regarding you the devotion of your youth,
Your love when you were a bride,
Your following after Me in the wilderness,
Through a land not sown.
3“Israel was holy to the LORD,
The first of His harvest.
All who ate of it became guilty;
Evil came upon them,” declares the LORD.’”

4Dengarlah firman TUHAN, hai kaum keturunan Yakub, hai segala kaum keluarga keturunan Israel. 5Beginilah firman TUHAN: Apakah kecurangan yang didapati nenek moyangmu pada-Ku, sehingga mereka menjauh dari pada-Ku, mengikuti dewa kesia-siaan, sampai mereka menjadi sia-sia ? 6Dan mereka tidak lagi bertanya: Di manakah TUHAN, yang menuntun kita keluar dari tanah Mesir; yang memimpin kita di padang gurun, di tanah yang tandus dan yang lekak-lekuk, di tanah yang sangat kering dan gelap, di tanah yang tidak dilintasi orang dan yang tidak didiami manusia ? 7Aku telah membawa kamu ke tanah yang subur untuk menikmati buahnya dan segala yang baik dari padanya. Tetapi segera setelah kamu masuk, kamu menajiskan tanah-Ku; tanah milik-Ku telah kamu buat menjadi kekejian. 8Para imam tidak lagi bertanya: Di manakah TUHAN ? Orang-orang yang melaksanakan hukum tidak mengenal Aku lagi, dan para gembala mendurhaka terhadap Aku. Para nabi bernubuat demi Baal, mereka mengikuti apa yang tidak berguna.
4Hear the word of the LORD, house of Jacob, and all the families of the house of Israel.
5This is what the LORD says:
“What injustice did your fathers find in Me,
That they went far from Me,
And walked after emptiness and became empty?
6“They did not say, ‘Where is the LORD
Who brought us up out of the land of Egypt,
Who led us through the wilderness,
Through a land of deserts and of pits,
Through a land of drought and of deep darkness,
Through a land that no one crossed
And where no person lived?’
7“I brought you into the fruitful land
To eat its fruit and its good things.
But you came and defiled My land,
And you made My inheritance an abomination.
8“The priests did not say, ‘Where is the LORD?’
And those who handle the Law did not know Me;
The rulers also revolted against Me,
And the prophets prophesied by Baal
And walked after things that were of no benefit.

9Sebab itu Aku akan berbantah lagi dengan kamu, demikianlah firman TUHAN, dan dengan anak cucumu Aku akan berbantah. 10Menyeberang sajalah ke tanah pesisir orang Kitim dan lihatlah; suruhlah orang ke Kedar dan perhatikanlah dengan sungguh-sungguh ! Lihatlah apakah ada terjadi yang seperti ini: 11pernahkah suatu bangsa menukarkan allahnya meskipun itu sebenarnya bukan allah ? Tetapi umat-Ku menukarkan Kemuliaannya dengan apa yang tidak berguna. 12Tertegunlah atas hal itu, hai langit, menggigil dan gemetarlah dengan sangat, demikianlah firman TUHAN. 13Sebab dua kali umat-Ku berbuat jahat: mereka meninggalkan Aku, sumber air yang hidup, untuk menggali kolam bagi mereka sendiri, yakni kolam yang bocor, yang tidak dapat menahan air.
9“Therefore I will still contend with you,” declares the LORD,
“And I will contend with your sons’ sons.
10“For cross to the coastlands of Kittim and see,
And send to Kedar and observe closely,
And see if there has been anything like this!
11“Has a nation changed gods,
When they were not gods?
But My people have exchanged their glory
For that which is of no benefit.
12“Be appalled at this, you heavens,
And shudder, be very desolate,” declares the LORD.
13“For My people have committed two evils:
They have abandoned Me,
The fountain of living waters,
To carve out for themselves cisterns,
Broken cisterns
That do not hold water.

14Adakah Israel itu budak atau anak budak? Maka mengapa ia menjadi rampasan ? 15Terhadapnya singa-singa muda mengaum, menyaringkan suaranya; negerinya dibuat orang menjadi tandus, kota-kotanya terbakar, tidak lagi berpenduduk. 16Bahkan orang-orang Memfis dan Tahpanhes telah menggundul batu kepalamu. 17Bukankah engkau sendiri yang menimpakan ini ke atas dirimu, oleh karena engkau meninggalkan TUHAN, Allahmu, ketika Ia menuntun engkau di jalan ? 18Dan sekarang, apakah untungmu untuk pergi ke Mesir, hendak meminum air sungai Nil ? Dan apakah untungmu untuk pergi ke Asyur, hendak meminum air sungai Efrat ? 19Kejahatanmu akan menghajar engkau, dan kemurtadanmu akan menyiksa engkau! Ketahuilah dan lihatlah, betapa jahat dan pedihnya engkau meninggalkan TUHAN, Allahmu; dan tidak gemetar terhadap Aku, demikianlah firman Tuhan ALLAH semesta alam.
14“Is Israel a slave? Or is he a servant born in the home?
Why has he become plunder?
15“The young lions have roared at him,
They have roared loudly.
And they have made his land a waste;
His cities have been destroyed, without inhabitant.
16“Also the men of Memphis and Tahpanhes
Have shaved your head.
17“Have you not done this to yourself
By your abandoning the LORD your God
When He led you in the way?
18“But now what are you doing on the road to Egypt,
Except to drink the waters of the Nile?
Or what are you doing on the road to Assyria,
Except to drink the waters of the Euphrates River?
19“Your own wickedness will correct you,
And your apostasies will punish you;
Know therefore and see that it is evil and bitter
For you to abandon the LORD your God,
And the fear of Me is not in you,” declares the Lord GOD of armies.

20Sebab dari dahulu kala engkau telah mematahkan kukmu, telah memutuskan tali pengikatmu, dan berkata: Aku tidak mau lagi diperbudak. Bahkan di atas setiap bukit yang menjulang dan di bawah setiap pohon yang rimbun engkau berbaring dan bersundal. 21Namun Aku telah membuat engkau tumbuh sebagai pokok anggur pilihan, sebagai benih yang sungguh murni. Betapa engkau berubah menjadi pohon berbau busuk, pohon anggur liar ! 22Bahkan, sekalipun engkau mencuci dirimu dengan air abu, dan dengan banyak sabun, namun noda kesalahanmu tetap ada di depan mata-Ku, demikianlah firman Tuhan ALLAH. 23Bagaimanakah engkau berani berkata: Aku tidak pernah menajiskan diriku, aku tidak pernah mengikuti para Baal ? Lihatlah tingkah langkahmu di dalam lembah, ketahuilah apa yang telah kaulakukan: hai, unta betina yang ringan kaki yang berlari-lari kian ke mari, 24yang melepaskan diri lari ke padang gurun, karena ingin menghirup udara ! Siapakah yang dapat menahan nafsunya untuk berjantan ? Semua yang mencari dia, tidak usah berlelah, mereka akan menemukannya dalam musim berjantan. 25Jagalah, supaya kakimu jangan tak bersepatu dan supaya rongkonganmu jangan haus ! Tetapi engkau berkata: Percuma saja! Percuma ! Sebab aku cinta kepada orang-orang asing, jadi aku mau mengikuti mereka.
20“For long ago I broke your yoke
And tore off your restraints;
But you said, ‘I will not serve!’
For on every high hill
And under every leafy tree
You have lain down as a prostitute.
21“Yet I planted you as a choice vine,
A completely faithful seed.
How then have you turned yourself before Me
Into the degenerate shoots of a foreign vine?
22“Although you wash yourself with lye
And use much soap,
The stain of your guilt is before Me,” declares the Lord GOD.
23“How can you say, ‘I am not defiled,
I have not gone after the Baals’?
Look at your way in the valley!
Know what you have done!
You are a swift young camel running about senselessly on her ways,
24A wild donkey accustomed to the wilderness,
That sniffs the wind in her passion.
Who can turn her away in her mating season?
None who seek her will grow weary;
In her month they will find her.
25“Keep your feet from being bare,
And your throat from thirst;
But you said, ‘It is hopeless!
No! For I have loved strangers,
And I will walk after them.’
And tore off your restraints;
But you said, ‘I will not serve!’
For on every high hill
And under every leafy tree
You have lain down as a prostitute.

26Seperti malunya pencuri, apabila kedapatan, demikianlah malunya kaum Israel, yakni para rajanya, pemukanya, para imamnya dan nabinya, 27yang berkata kepada sepotong kayu: Engkaulah bapaku ! dan kepada batu: Engkaulah yang melahirkan aku! Sungguh, mereka membelakangi Aku dan tidak menghadapkan mukanya kepada-Ku, tetapi pada waktu mereka ditimpa malapetaka mereka berkata: Bangkitlah menyelamatkan kami! 28Di manakah para allahmu yang kaubuat untuk dirimu? Biarlah mereka bangkit, jika mereka dapat menyelamatkan engkau pada waktu malapetakamu ! Sebab seperti banyaknya kotamu demikian banyaknya para allahmu, hai Yehuda !
26“Like the shame of a thief when he is discovered,
So the house of Israel is shamed;
They, their kings, their leaders,
Their priests, and their prophets,
27Who say to a tree, ‘You are my father,’
And to a stone, ‘You gave me birth.’
For they have turned their backs to Me,
And not their faces;
But in the time of their trouble they will say,
‘Arise and save us!’
28“But where are your gods
Which you made for yourself?
Let them arise, if they can save you
In the time of your trouble!
For as many as the number of your cities
Are your gods, Judah.

29Mengapakah kamu mau berbantah dengan Aku? Kamu sekalian telah mendurhaka kepada-Ku, demikianlah firman TUHAN. 30Sia-sia Aku telah memukuli anak-anakmu, hajaran tidaklah mereka terima; pedangmu sendiri telah memakan habis para nabimu seperti singa muda yang memusnahkan. 31Keturunan apakah kamu ini? Perhatikanlah firman TUHAN ! Sudahkah Aku menjadi padang gurun bagi Israel atau tanah yang gelap gulita ? Maka mengapa umat-Ku berkata: Kami sudah bebas, kami tidak lagi mau datang kepada-Mu ? 32Dapatkah seorang dara melupakan perhiasannya, atau seorang pengantin perempuan melupakan ikat pinggangnya ? Tetapi umat-Ku melupakan Aku, sejak waktu yang tidak terbilang lamanya. 33Alangkah baiknya engkau mengatur jalanmu untuk mencari percintaan ! Sebab itu juga engkau membiasakan segala jalanmu kepada kejahatan. 34Sampai-sampai pada bajumu terdapat darah orang-orang miskin yang tidak bersalah; bukan waktu mereka membongkar untuk mencuri kaudapati mereka! Meskipun semuanya itu demikian, 35engkau berkata: Aku tidak bersalah ! Memang, murka-Nya telah meninggalkan aku! Sesungguhnya Aku akan membawa engkau ke pengadilan, oleh karena engkau berkata: Aku tidak berdosa ! 36Alangkah ringannya kaupandang untuk mengubah tingkah langkahmu ! Juga karena Mesir engkau akan menjadi malu, seperti engkau telah menjadi malu karena Asyur. 37Dari sanapun juga engkau akan keluar dengan mengangkat tanganmu, sebab TUHAN telah menolak mereka yang telah kaupercayai dan engkau tidak akan berhasil dengan mereka."
29“Why do you contend with Me?
You have all revolted against Me,” declares the LORD.
30“In vain I have struck your sons;
They did not accept discipline.
Your sword has devoured your prophets
Like a destroying lion.
31“You generation, look to the word of the LORD.
Have I been a wilderness to Israel,
Or a land of thick darkness?
Why do My people say, ‘We are free to roam;
We will no longer come to You’?
32“Can a virgin forget her jewelry,
Or a bride her attire?
Yet My people have forgotten Me
For days without number.
33“How well you prepare your way
To seek love!
Therefore even to the wicked women
You have taught your ways.
34“Also on your skirts is found
The lifeblood of the innocent poor;
You did not find them breaking in.
But in spite of all these things,
35You said, ‘I am innocent;
Surely His anger is turned away from me.’
Behold, I will enter into judgment with you
Because you say, ‘I have not sinned.’
36“Why do you go around so much
Changing your way?
Also, you will be put to shame by Egypt,
Just as you were put to shame by Assyria.
37“From this place as well you will go out
With your hands on your head;
For the LORD has rejected those in whom you trust,
And you will not prosper with them.”
You have all revolted against Me,” declares the LORD.
30“In vain I have struck your sons;
