Jerusalem’s Godlessness
1Lintasilah jalan-jalan Yerusalem, lihatlah baik-baik dan camkanlah ! Periksalah di tanah-tanah lapangnya, apakah kamu dapat menemui seseorang, apakah ada yang melakukan keadilan dan yang mencari kebenaran, maka Aku mau mengampuni kota itu. 2Sekalipun mereka berkata: "Demi TUHAN yang hidup," namun mereka bersumpah palsu. 3Ya TUHAN, tidakkah mata-Mu terarah kepada kebenaran ? Engkau memukul mereka, tetapi mereka tidak kesakitan; Engkau meremukkan mereka, tetapi mereka tidak mau menerima hajaran. Mereka mengeraskan kepalanya lebih dari pada batu, dan mereka tidak mau bertobat.
1“Roam about through the streets of Jerusalem,
And look and take notice.
And seek in her public squares,
If you can find a person,
If there is one who does justice, who seeks honesty,
Then I will forgive her. 2“And although they say, ‘As the LORD lives,’
Certainly they swear falsely.” 3LORD, do Your eyes not look for honesty?
You have struck them,
But they did not weaken;
You have consumed them,
But they refused to accept discipline.
They have made their faces harder than rock;
They have refused to repent.
And look and take notice.
And seek in her public squares,

If there is one who does justice, who seeks honesty,
Then I will forgive her. 2“And although they say, ‘As the LORD lives,’

You have struck them,
But they did not weaken;
You have consumed them,
But they refused to accept discipline.
They have made their faces harder than rock;
They have refused to repent.
4Lalu aku berpikir: "Itu hanya orang-orang kecil; mereka adalah orang-orang bodoh, sebab mereka tidak mengetahui jalan TUHAN, hukum Allah mereka. 5Baiklah aku pergi kepada orang-orang besar, dan berbicara kepada mereka, sebab merekalah yang mengetahui jalan TUHAN, hukum Allah mereka." Tetapi merekapun semuanya telah mematahkan kuk, telah memutuskan tali-tali pengikat. 6Sebab itu singa dari hutan akan memukul mati mereka, dan serigala dari padang yang kersang akan merusakkan mereka. Macan tutul akan mengintai di pinggir kota-kota mereka, setiap orang yang ke luar akan diterkam. Sebab pelanggaran mereka amat banyak, dan kesesatannya besar sekali.
4Then I said, “They are only the poor,
They are foolish;
For they do not know the way of the LORD
Or the judgment of their God. 5“I will go to the great
And speak to them,
For they know the way of the LORD
And the judgment of their God.”
But together they too have broken the yoke
And burst the restraints. 6Therefore a lion from the forest will kill them,
A wolf of the deserts will destroy them,
A leopard is watching their cities.
Everyone who goes out of them will be torn in pieces,
Because their wrongdoings are many,
Their apostasies are numerous.

7Bagaimana, kalau begitu, dapatkah Aku mengampuni engkau? Anak-anakmu telah meninggalkan Aku, dan bersumpah demi yang bukan allah. Setelah Aku mengenyangkan mereka, mereka berzinah dan bertemu ke rumah persundalan. 8Mereka adalah kuda-kuda jantan yang gemuk dan gasang, masing-masing meringkik menginginkan isteri sesamanya. 9Masakan Aku tidak menghukum mereka karena semuanya ini ?, demikianlah firman TUHAN. Masakan Aku tidak membalas dendam-Ku kepada bangsa yang seperti ini ?
7“Why should I forgive you?
Your sons have forsaken Me
And sworn by those who are not gods.
When I had fed them to the full,
They committed adultery
And stayed at the prostitute’s house. 8“They were well-fed lusty horses,
Each one neighing at his neighbor’s wife. 9“Shall I not punish them for these things?” declares the LORD,
“And shall I not avenge Myself
On a nation such as this?

10Naiklah ke kebun anggurnya yang bertangga-tangga, rusakkanlah, tetapi jangan membuatnya habis lenyap. Buanglah carang-carang pokok anggurnya, sebab semuanya itu bukan kepunyaan TUHAN ! 11Sebab kaum Israel dan kaum Yehuda telah sungguh-sungguh berlaku tidak setia terhadap Aku, demikianlah firman TUHAN. 12Mereka memungkiri TUHAN dan berkata: "Dia tidak berbuat apa-apa! Malapetaka tidak akan menimpa kita, perang dan kelaparan tidak akan kita alami. 13Para nabi akan menjadi angin, firman TUHAN tidak ada pada mereka."
10“Go up through her vine rows and destroy,
But do not execute a complete destruction;
Strip away her branches,
For they are not the LORD’S. 11“For the house of Israel and the house of Judah
Have dealt very treacherously with Me,” declares the LORD. 12They have lied about the LORD
And said, “Not He;
Misfortune will not come upon us,
Nor will we see sword or famine. 13“The prophets are as wind,
And the word is not in them.
So it will be done to them!”

Judgment Proclaimed
14Sebab itu beginilah firman TUHAN, Allah semesta alam: "Oleh karena mereka berkata seperti itu, maka beginilah akan terjadi kepada mereka: Sesungguhnya Aku akan membuat perkataan-perkataan-Ku menjadi api di dalam mulutmu, dan bangsa ini menjadi kayu bakar, maka api akan memakan habis mereka. 15Sesungguhnya, Aku akan mendatangkan suatu bangsa dari jauh menyerang kamu, hai kaum Israel, demikianlah firman TUHAN, suatu bangsa yang kokoh kuat, suatu bangsa dari dahulu kala, suatu bangsa yang tidak engkau kenal bahasanya, dan yang tidak engkau mengerti apa yang dikatakannya. 16Tabung panahnya seperti kubur yang ternganga, mereka semuanya adalah pahlawan-pahlawan. 17Mereka akan memakan habis hasil tuaianmu dan makananmu, akan memakan habis anak-anakmu lelaki dan perempuan, akan memakan habis kambing dombamu dan lembu sapimu, akan memakan habis pohon anggurmu dan pohon aramu, akan menghancurkan dengan pedang kota-kotamu yang berkubu, yang kauandalkan."
14Therefore, this is what the LORD, the God of armies says:
“Because you have spoken this word,
Behold, I am making My words fire in your mouth,
And this people wood, and it will consume them. 15“Behold, I am bringing a nation against you from far away, you house of Israel,” declares the LORD.
“It is an enduring nation,
It is an ancient nation,
A nation whose language you do not know,
Nor can you understand what they say. 16“Their quiver is like an open grave,
All of them are warriors. 17“They will devour your harvest and your food;
They will devour your sons and your daughters;
They will devour your flocks and your herds;
They will devour your vines and your fig trees;
They will demolish your fortified cities, in which you trust, with the sword.

18"Tetapi pada waktu itupun juga, demikianlah firman TUHAN, Aku tidak akan membuat kamu habis lenyap. 19Dan apabila kamu nanti bertanya-tanya: Untuk apakah TUHAN, Allah kita, melakukan segala hal ini atas kita?, maka engkau akan menjawab mereka: Seperti kamu meninggalkan Aku dan memperhambakan diri kepada allah asing di negerimu, demikianlah kamu akan memperhambakan diri kepada orang-orang asing di suatu negeri yang bukan negerimu."
18“Yet even in those days,” declares the LORD, “I will not make a complete destruction of you. 19“And it shall come about when they say, ‘Why has the LORD our God done all these things to us?’ then you shall say to them, ‘Just as you have abandoned Me and served foreign gods in your land, so you will serve strangers in a land that is not yours.’
20Beritahukanlah ini di antara kaum keturunan Yakub, kabarkanlah itu di Yehuda dengan mengatakan: 21"Dengarkanlah ini, hai bangsa yang tolol dan yang tidak mempunyai pikiran, yang mempunyai mata, tetapi tidak melihat, yang mempunyai telinga, tetapi tidak mendengar ! 22Masakan kamu tidak takut kepada-Ku, demikianlah firman TUHAN, kamu tidak gemetar terhadap Aku? Bukankah Aku yang membuat pantai pasir sebagai perbatasan bagi laut, sebagai perhinggaan tetap yang tidak dapat dilampauinya ? Biarpun ia bergelora, ia tidak sanggup, biarpun gelombang-gelombangnya ribut, mereka tidak dapat melampauinya ! 23Tetapi bangsa ini mempunyai hati yang selalu melawan dan memberontak; mereka telah menyimpang dan menghilang. 24Mereka tidak berkata dalam hatinya: Baiklah kita takut akan TUHAN, Allah kita, yang memberi hujan pada waktunya, hujan pada awal musim maupun hujan pada akhir musim, dan yang menjamin bagi kita minggu-minggu yang tetap untuk panen. 25Kesalahanmu menghalangi semuanya ini, dan dosamu menghambat yang baik dari padamu. 26Sesungguhnya, di antara umat-Ku terdapat orang-orang fasik yang memasang jaringnya; seperti penangkap burung mereka memasang perangkapnya, mereka menangkap manusia. 27Seperti sangkar menjadi penuh dengan burung-burung, demikianlah rumah mereka menjadi penuh dengan tipu; itulah sebabnya mereka menjadi orang besar dan kaya, 28orang gemuk dan gendut. Di samping itu mereka membiarkan berlalu kejahatan-kejahatan, tidak mengindahkan hukum, tidak memenangkan perkara anak yatim, dan tidak membela hak orang miskin. 29Masakan Aku tidak menghukum mereka karena semuanya ini ?, demikianlah firman TUHAN. Masakan Aku tidak membalas dendam-Ku kepada bangsa yang seperti ini ?"
20“Declare this in the house of Jacob
And proclaim it in Judah, saying, 21‘Now hear this, you foolish and senseless people,
Who have eyes but do not see,
Who have ears but do not hear. 22‘Do you not fear Me?’ declares the LORD.
‘Do you not tremble in My presence?
For I have placed the sand as a boundary for the sea,
An eternal limit, and it will not cross over it.
Though the waves toss, they cannot prevail;
Though they roar, they will not cross over it. 23‘But this people has a stubborn and rebellious heart;
They have turned aside and departed. 24‘They do not say in their heart,
“Let us now fear the LORD our God,
Who gives rain in its season,
Both the autumn rain and the spring rain,
Who keeps for us
The appointed weeks of the harvest.” 25‘Your wrongdoings have turned these away,
And your sins have kept good away from you. 26‘For wicked people are found among My people,
They watch like fowlers lying in wait;
They set a trap,
They catch people. 27‘Like a cage full of birds,
So their houses are full of deceit;
Therefore they have become great and rich. 28‘They are fat, they are sleek,
They also excel in deeds of wickedness;
They do not plead the cause,
The cause of the orphan, so that they may be successful;
And they do not defend the rights of the poor. 29‘Shall I not punish them for these things?’ declares the LORD,
‘Or shall I not avenge Myself
On a nation such as this?’
And proclaim it in Judah, saying, 21‘Now hear this, you foolish and senseless people,
Who have eyes but do not see,
Who have ears but do not hear. 22‘Do you not fear Me?’ declares the LORD.

30Kedahsyatan dan kengerian terjadi di negeri ini: 31Para nabi bernubuat palsu dan para imam mengajar dengan sewenang-wenang, dan umat-Ku menyukai yang demikian ! Tetapi apakah yang akan kamu perbuat, apabila datang kesudahannya ?
30“An appalling and horrible thing
Has happened in the land: 31The prophets prophesy falsely,
And the priests rule on their own authority;
And My people love it this way!
But what will you do when the end comes?
Has happened in the land: 31The prophets prophesy falsely,
And the priests rule on their own authority;
And My people love it this way!
But what will you do when the end comes?
