Prophecy against Babylon
1Firman yang disampaikan TUHAN dengan perantaraan nabi Yeremia mengenai Babel, mengenai negeri orang-orang Kasdim: 2"Beritahukanlah di antara bangsa-bangsa dan kabarkanlah, naikkanlah panji-panji dan kabarkanlah, janganlah sembunyikan, katakanlah: Babel telah direbut, dewa Bel menjadi malu, Merodakh telah terkejut ! Berhala-berhalanya menjadi malu, dewa-dewanya yang keji telah terkejut ! 3Maka suatu bangsa maju menyerangnya dari utara, membuat negerinya menjadi tempat tandus; tidak ada lagi yang diam di dalamnya, baik manusia maupun binatang, semuanya lari lenyap.
1The word which the LORD spoke concerning Babylon, the land of the Chaldeans, through Jeremiah the prophet: 2“Declare and proclaim among the nations.
Proclaim it and lift up a flag,
Do not conceal it. Say,
‘Babylon has been captured,
Bel has been put to shame, Marduk has been shattered;
Her idols have been put to shame, her images have been shattered.’ 3“For a nation has come up against her from the north; it will make her land an object of horror, and there will be no inhabitant in it. Whether people or animals, they have wandered off, they have gone!
Proclaim it and lift up a flag,
Do not conceal it. Say,
‘Babylon has been captured,
Bel has been put to shame, Marduk has been shattered;
Her idols have been put to shame, her images have been shattered.’ 3“For a nation has come up against her from the north; it will make her land an object of horror, and there will be no inhabitant in it. Whether people or animals, they have wandered off, they have gone!
4Pada waktu itu dan pada masa itu, demikianlah firman TUHAN, orang Israel akan datang, bersama-sama dengan orang Yehuda; mereka akan berjalan sambil menangis dan mencari TUHAN, Allah mereka; 5mereka menanyakan jalan ke Sion, ke sanalah mereka terarah: Marilah kita menggabungkan diri kepada TUHAN, bergabung dalam suatu perjanjian kekal yang tidak dapat dilupakan !
4“In those days and at that time,” declares the LORD, “the sons of Israel will come, they and the sons of Judah as well; they will go along weeping as they go, and it will be the LORD their God whom they will seek. 5“They will ask for the way to Zion, turning their faces in its direction; they will come so that they may join themselves to the LORD in an everlasting covenant that will not be forgotten.
6Umat-Ku tadinya seperti domba-domba yang hilang; mereka dibiarkan sesat oleh gembala-gembalanya, dibiarkan mengembara di gunung-gunung, mereka berjalan dari gunung ke bukit sehingga lupa akan tempat pembaringannya. 7Siapapun yang menjumpai mereka, memakan habis mereka, dan lawan-lawan mereka berkata: Kami tidak bersalah ! Karena mereka telah berdosa kepada TUHAN, tempat kebenaran, TUHAN, pengharapan nenek moyang mereka!
6“My people have become lost sheep;
Their shepherds have led them astray.
They have made them turn aside on the mountains.
They have gone from mountain to hill,
They have forgotten their resting place. 7“All who found them have devoured them;
And their adversaries have said, ‘We are not guilty,
Since they have sinned against the LORD who is the habitation of righteousness,
The LORD, the hope of their fathers.’

8Larilah dari tengah-tengah Babel, dari negeri orang-orang Kasdim ! Keluarlah ! Jadilah seperti kambing-kambing jantan yang mengepalai kawanannya ! 9Sebab sesungguhnya, Aku menggerakkan dan membangkitkan terhadap Babel sekumpulan bangsa-bangsa yang besar dari utara; mereka akan mengatur barisan untuk melawannya, dari sanalah kota itu akan direbut. Panah-panah mereka adalah seperti pahlawan yang mujur, yang tidak pernah kembali dengan tangan hampa. 10Negeri orang-orang Kasdim akan menjadi rampasan, semua orang yang merampasnya akan puas hatinya, demikianlah firman TUHAN.
8“Wander away from the midst of Babylon
And go out from the land of the Chaldeans;
Be like male goats at the head of the flock. 9“For behold, I am going to rouse and bring up against Babylon
A contingent of great nations from the land of the north,
And they will draw up their battle lines against her;
From there she will be taken captive.
Their arrows will be like an expert warrior
Who does not return empty-handed. 10“Chaldea will become plunder;
All who plunder her will have enough,” declares the LORD.

11Sekalipun kamu bersukacita dan beria-ria, hai orang-orang yang merampok milik-Ku, sekalipun kamu melompat-lompat seperti anak lembu di padang rumput, dan meringkik seperti kuda-kuda jantan, 12namun, ibumu sangat menanggung malu, dan perempuan yang melahirkan kamu tersipu-sipu ! Lihat, dialah yang menjadi terakhir dari bangsa-bangsa: padang gurun, padang belantara dan dataran rumput ! 13Karena murka TUHAN negeri itu tidak akan didiami lagi, sama sekali akan menjadi tempat tandus. Setiap orang yang melewati Babel akan merasa ngeri dan akan bersuit karena pukulan-pukulan yang dideritanya. 14Aturlah barisanmu menyerang Babel dari segala pihak, hai semua orang pemanah ! Panahlah kepadanya, janganlah merasa sayang akan anak panah, sebab kepada Tuhanlah ia berdosa ! 15Bertempiksoraklah menyerangnya dari segala pihak ! Dia sudah menyerah, tonggak-tonggaknya sudah rebah, pagar-pagarnya sudah runtuh ! Sungguh, itulah pembalasan TUHAN ! Laksanakanlah pembalasan terhadapnya, lakukanlah kepadanya seperti yang dilakukannya sendiri! 16Lenyapkanlah orang penabur dari Babel dan orang penyabit pada musim menuai ! Untuk mengelakkan pedang yang dahsyat ini, setiap orang akan berpaling pulang kepada bangsanya, setiap orang akan lari ke negerinya.
11“Because you are glad, because you are jubilant,
You who pillage My heritage,
Because you skip about like a threshing heifer
And neigh like stallions, 12Your mother will be greatly ashamed,
She who gave you birth will be humiliated.
Behold, she will be the least of the nations,
A wilderness, a dry land and a desert. 13“Because of the wrath of the LORD she will not be inhabited,
But she will be completely desolate;
Everyone who passes by Babylon will be horrified
And will hiss because of all her wounds. 14“Draw up your battle lines against Babylon on every side,
All of you who bend the bow;
Shoot at her, do not spare your arrows,
For she has sinned against the LORD. 15“Raise your battle cry against her on every side!
She has given herself up, her towers have fallen,
Her walls have been torn down.
For this is the vengeance of the LORD:
Take vengeance on her;
As she has done to others, so do to her. 16“Eliminate the sower from Babylon
And the one who wields the sickle at the time of harvest;
From the sword of the oppressor
Each of them will turn back to his own people
And each of them will flee to his own land.

17Israel adalah seperti domba yang diceraiberaikan, dihalaukan oleh singa-singa. Mula-mula raja Asyur memakan dia, dan sekarang pada akhirnya Nebukadnezar, raja Babel, mengerumit tulang-tulangnya. 18Sebab itu beginilah firman TUHAN semesta alam, Allah Israel: Sesungguhnya, Aku menghukum raja Babel dan negerinya, seperti Aku telah menghukum raja Asyur. 19Tetapi Aku akan mengembalikan Israel ke padang rumputnya, supaya ia makan rumput di atas Karmel dan di Basan, dan menjadi kenyang di atas pegunungan Efraim dan di Gilead. 20Pada waktu itu dan pada masa itu, demikianlah firman TUHAN, orang akan mencari kesalahan Israel, tetapi tidak didapatnya, dan dosa Yehuda, tetapi tidak ada ditemukannya, sebab Aku akan mengampuni orang-orang yang Kubiarkan tinggal hidup.
17“Israel is a scattered flock, the lions have driven them away. The first one who devoured him was the king of Assyria, and this last one who has gnawed his bones is Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. 18“Therefore this is what the LORD of armies, the God of Israel says: ‘Behold, I am going to punish the king of Babylon and his land, just as I punished the king of Assyria. 19‘And I will bring Israel back to his pasture and he will graze on Carmel and Bashan, and his desire will be satisfied in the hill country of Ephraim and Gilead. 20‘In those days and at that time,’ declares the LORD, ‘search will be made for the wrongdoing of Israel, but there will be none; and for the sins of Judah, but they will not be found; for I will forgive those whom I leave as a remnant.’
21Majulah ke negeri Merataim, majulah menyerangnya dan menyerang penduduk Pekod ! Bunuhlah dan tumpaslah mereka, demikianlah firman TUHAN, lakukanlah tepat seperti yang Kuperintahkan ! 22Gemuruh perang di negeri dan terjadilah kehancuran besar ! 23Betapa remuk redamnya dan hancur luluhnya martil seluruh bumi itu! Betapa Babel menjadi kengerian di antara bangsa-bangsa ! 24Aku memasang jerat bagimu, dan memang engkau terjebak, hai Babel, dengan tidak mengetahuinya. Engkau terdapat dan memang engkau tertangkap, sebab engkau telah menantang TUHAN. 25TUHAN telah membuka tempat perlengkapan-Nya dan mengeluarkan senjata-senjata geram-Nya, sebab ada pekerjaan bagi Tuhan ALLAH semesta alam di negeri orang-orang Kasdim: 26Marilah mendatanginya dari segala jurusan, bukalah lumbung-lumbungnya, onggokkanlah isinya bertimbun-timbun dan tumpaslah itu, janganlah ada tinggal sisanya ! 27Bunuhlah segala lembunya, biarlah rebah semuanya untuk dibantai ! Celakalah mereka, sebab waktunya sudah tiba, saat penghukuman atas mereka!
21“Against the land of Merathaim, go up against it,
And against the inhabitants of Pekod.
Kill and completely destroy them,” declares the LORD,
“And do according to everything that I have commanded you. 22“The noise of battle is in the land,
And great destruction. 23“How the hammer of the whole earth
Has been cut off and broken!
How Babylon has become
An object of horror among the nations! 24“I set a trap for you and you were also caught, Babylon,
While you yourself were not aware;
You have been found and also seized
Because you have engaged in conflict with the LORD.” 25The LORD has opened His armory
And has brought out the weapons of His indignation,
For it is a work of the Lord GOD of armies
In the land of the Chaldeans. 26Come to her from the farthest border;
Open up her barns,
Pile her up like heaps of grain
And completely destroy her,
Let nothing be left to her. 27Put all her bulls to the sword;
Let them go down to the slaughter!
Woe be upon them, for their day has come,
The time of their punishment.
And against the inhabitants of Pekod.
Kill and completely destroy them,” declares the LORD,
“And do according to everything that I have commanded you. 22“The noise of battle is in the land,
And great destruction. 23“How the hammer of the whole earth
Has been cut off and broken!

Let them go down to the slaughter!
Woe be upon them, for their day has come,
The time of their punishment.
28Dengar ! Pelarian-pelarian dan orang-orang yang terluput dari negeri Babel datang memberitahukan di Sion tentang pembalasan TUHAN, Allah kita, pembalasan karena bait suci-Nya.
28There is a sound of fugitives and refugees from the land of Babylon,
To declare in Zion the vengeance of the LORD our God,
Vengeance for His temple.
To declare in Zion the vengeance of the LORD our God,
Vengeance for His temple.
29Kerahkanlah penembak-penembak melawan Babel, semua orang pemanah ! Berkemahlah mengepungnya, supaya jangan ada yang lolos ! Balaslah dia setimpal dengan perbuatannya, lakukanlah kepadanya tepat seperti yang dilakukannya sendiri! Sebab ia bertindak kurang ajar terhadap TUHAN, terhadap Yang Mahakudus, Allah Israel. 30Sebab itu teruna-terunanya akan rebah di tanah-tanah lapangnya, dan semua prajuritnya akan menjadi bungkam pada waktu itu, demikianlah firman TUHAN. 31Sesungguhnya, Aku menjadi lawanmu, hai engkau yang kurang ajar, demikianlah firman Tuhan ALLAH semesta alam, sebab waktumu sudah tiba, saat Aku menghukum engkau. 32Si kurang ajar itu akan tersandung jatuh dan tidak ada yang membangkitkan dia. Di kota-kotanya Aku akan menyalakan api yang akan menghanguskan segala apa yang di sekitarnya.
29“Summon many against Babylon,
All those who bend the bow:
Encamp against her on every side,
Let there be no escape.
Repay her according to her work;
According to all that she has done, so do to her;
For she has become arrogant against the LORD,
Against the Holy One of Israel. 30“Therefore her young men will fall in her streets,
And all her men of war will perish on that day,” declares the LORD. 31“Behold, I am against you, arrogant one,”
Declares the Lord GOD of armies,
“For your day has come,
The time when I will punish you. 32“The arrogant one will stumble and fall
With no one to raise him up;
And I will set fire to his cities,
And it will devour all his surroundings.”

33Beginilah firman TUHAN semesta alam: Orang Israel tertindas bersama-sama dengan orang Yehuda. Semua orang yang menawan mereka tetap menahan mereka, tidak mau melepaskan mereka. 34Tetapi Penebus mereka adalah kuat; TUHAN semesta alam nama-Nya. Tentulah Ia akan memperjuangkan perkara mereka, supaya Ia memberi ketenteraman kepada bumi, tetapi kegemparan kepada penduduk Babel. 35Pedang akan menimpa orang-orang Kasdim, demikianlah firman TUHAN, menimpa penduduk Babel, menimpa pemuka-pemukanya dan orang-orangnya yang berhikmat ! 36Pedang menimpa tukang-tukang ramal, sehingga ternyata mereka bodoh ! Pedang menimpa pahlawan-pahlawannya, sehingga mereka menjadi terkejut ! 37Pedang menimpa kudanya dan keretanya, menimpa segenap tentara campuran yang di tengah-tengahnya, sehingga mereka menjadi seperti perempuan ! Pedang menimpa perbendaharaannya, sehingga dijarah orang! 38Pedang menimpa segala airnya, sehingga menjadi kering ! Sebab negeri itu penuh patung-patung, mereka menjadi gila oleh berhala-berhala mereka!
33This is what the LORD of armies says:
“The sons of Israel are oppressed,
And the sons of Judah as well;
And all who took them captive have held them firmly,
They have refused to let them go. 34“Their Redeemer is strong, the LORD of armies is His name;
He will vigorously plead their case
So that He may bring rest to their land,
But turmoil to the inhabitants of Babylon. 35“A sword against the Chaldeans,” declares the LORD,
“And against the inhabitants of Babylon
And against her leaders and her wise men! 36“A sword against the oracle priests, and they will become fools!
A sword against her warriors, and they will be shattered! 37“A sword against their horses, against their chariots,
And against all the foreigners who are in the midst of her,
And they will become women!
A sword against her treasures, and they will be plundered! 38“A drought on her waters, and they will be dried up!
For it is a land of idols,
And they go insane at frightful images.

39Sebab itu binatang-binatang gurun serta anjing-anjing hutan akan diam di sana, juga burung-burung unta akan tinggal di dalamnya. Negeri itu tidak akan didiami lagi untuk seterusnya dan tidak akan ditinggali lagi turun-temurun. 40Seperti dahulu pada waktu Allah menunggangbalikkan Sodom dan Gomora serta kota-kota tetangganya, demikianlah firman TUHAN, demikianlah tidak akan ada orang lagi yang diam di sana dan seorang anak manusiapun tidak akan tinggal lagi di dalamnya.
39“Therefore the desert creatures will live there with the jackals;
The ostriches also will live in it.
It will never again be inhabited
Nor lived in from generation to generation. 40“As when God overthrew Sodom
And Gomorrah with its neighbors,” declares the LORD,
“No one will live there,
Nor will anyone of mankind reside in it.
The ostriches also will live in it.
It will never again be inhabited
Nor lived in from generation to generation. 40“As when God overthrew Sodom
And Gomorrah with its neighbors,” declares the LORD,
“No one will live there,
Nor will anyone of mankind reside in it.
41Lihatlah, suatu bangsa akan datang dari utara, suatu suku bangsa yang besar, dan banyak raja, akan bergerak maju dari ujung bumi. 42Mereka memakai panah dan tombak; mereka bengis, tidak kenal belas kasihan. Suara mereka gemuruh seperti laut, mereka mengendarai kuda, berlengkap seperti orang maju berperang, menyerang engkau, hai puteri Babel ! 43Raja Babel telah mendengar kabar tentang mereka, tangannya sudah menjadi lemah lesu, kesesakan telah menyergap dia, ia kesakitan seperti perempuan yang melahirkan.
41“Behold, a people is coming from the north,
And a great nation and many kings
Will be roused from the remote parts of the earth. 42“They seize their bow and javelin;
They are cruel and have no mercy.
Their voice roars like the sea;
And they ride on horses,
Drawn up like a man for the battle
Against you, daughter of Babylon. 43“The king of Babylon has heard the report about them,
And his hands hang limp;
Distress has gripped him,
Agony like a woman in childbirth.

44Sesungguhnya, seperti singa yang bangkit keluar dari hutan belukar sungai Yordan mendatangi padang rumput tempat kawanan domba, demikianlah Aku akan membuat mereka lari dengan tiba-tiba dari negeri itu dan mengangkat di atasnya dia yang Kupilih. Sebab siapakah yang seperti Aku? Siapakah yang berani mendakwa Aku? Siapakah gerangan gembala yang tahan menghadapi Aku? 45Sebab itu dengarlah putusan yang telah diambil TUHAN terhadap Babel dan rancangan-rancangan yang telah dibuat-Nya terhadap negeri orang-orang Kasdim: Bahwa sesungguhnya, yang paling lemahpun di antara kawanan domba akan diseret. Bahwa sesungguhnya, padang rumput mereka sendiri akan merasa ngeri terhadap mereka. 46Bumi akan goncang karena kabar: Babel sudah direbut; ratap mereka akan terdengar di antara bangsa-bangsa !"
44“Behold, one will come up like a lion from the thicket of the Jordan to a perennially watered pasture; for in an instant I will chase them away from it, and I will appoint over it whoever is chosen. For who is like Me, and who will summon Me into court? And who then is the shepherd who can stand against Me?” 45Therefore hear the plan of the LORD which He has planned against Babylon, and His purposes which He has in mind against the land of the Chaldeans: they will certainly drag them off, even the little ones of the flock; He will certainly make their pasture desolate because of them. 46At the shout, “Babylon has been conquered!” the earth quakes, and an outcry is heard among the nations.
