Nineveh’s Complete Ruin
1Celakalah kota penumpah darah itu! Seluruhnya dusta belaka, penuh dengan perampasan, dan tidak henti-hentinya penerkaman ! 2Dengar, lecut cambuk dan derak-derik roda ! Dengar, kuda lari menderap, dan kereta meloncat-loncat ! 3Pasukan berkuda menyerang, pedang bernyala-nyala dan tombak berkilat-kilat ! Banyak yang mati terbunuh dan bangkai bertimbun-timbun ! Tidak habis-habisnya mayat-mayat, orang tersandung jatuh pada mayat-mayat ! 4Semuanya karena banyaknya persundalan si perempuan sundal, yang cantik parasnya dan ahli dalam sihir, yang memperdayakan bangsa-bangsa dengan persundalannya dan kaum-kaum dengan sihirnya. 5Lihat, Aku akan menjadi lawanmu, demikianlah firman TUHAN semesta alam; Aku akan mengangkat ujung kainmu sampai ke mukamu dan akan memperlihatkan auratmu kepada bangsa-bangsa dan kemaluanmu kepada kerajaan-kerajaan. 6Aku akan melemparkan barang keji ke atasmu, akan menghina engkau dan akan membuat engkau menjadi tontonan. 7Maka semua orang yang melihat engkau akan lari meninggalkan engkau serta berkata: "Niniwe sudah rusak ! Siapakah yang meratapi dia? Dari manakah aku akan mencari penghibur-penghibur untuk dia?"
1Woe to the bloody city, completely full of lies and pillage;
Her prey does not leave. 2The sound of the whip,
The sound of the roar of the wheel,
Galloping horses
And bounding chariots! 3Horsemen charging,
Swords flashing, spears gleaming,
Many killed, a mass of corpses,
And there is no end to the dead bodies—
They stumble over the dead bodies! 4All because of the many sexual acts of the prostitute,
The charming one, the mistress of sorceries,
Who sells nations by her sexual acts,
And families by her sorceries. 5“Behold, I am against you,” declares the LORD of armies;
“And I will lift up your skirts over your face,
And show the nations your nakedness,
And the kingdoms your shame. 6“I will throw filth on you
And declare you worthless,
And set you up as a spectacle. 7“And it will come about that all who see you
Will shrink from you and say,
‘Nineveh is devastated!
Who will have sympathy for her?’
Where shall I seek comforters for you?”
Her prey does not leave. 2The sound of the whip,
The sound of the roar of the wheel,
Galloping horses
And bounding chariots! 3Horsemen charging,
Swords flashing, spears gleaming,
Many killed, a mass of corpses,
And there is no end to the dead bodies—
They stumble over the dead bodies! 4All because of the many sexual acts of the prostitute,
The charming one, the mistress of sorceries,
Who sells nations by her sexual acts,
And families by her sorceries. 5“Behold, I am against you,” declares the LORD of armies;
“And I will lift up your skirts over your face,
And show the nations your nakedness,
And the kingdoms your shame. 6“I will throw filth on you
And declare you worthless,
And set you up as a spectacle. 7“And it will come about that all who see you
Will shrink from you and say,
‘Nineveh is devastated!
Who will have sympathy for her?’
Where shall I seek comforters for you?”
8Adakah engkau lebih baik dari Tebe, kota dewa Amon, yang letaknya di sungai Nil, dengan air sekelilingnya, yang tembok kotanya adalah laut, dan bentengnya adalah air ? 9Etiopia adalah kekuatannya, juga Mesir, dengan tidak terbatas; Put dan orang-orang Libia adalah pembantunya. 10Tetapi dia sendiripun terpaksa pergi ke dalam pembuangan, terpaksa masuk ke dalam tawanan. Bayi-bayinyapun diremukkan di ujung segala jalan; tentang semua orangnya yang dihormati dibuang undi, dan semua pembesarnya dibelenggu dengan rantai. 11Engkaupun akan menjadi mabuk, akan menjadi tidak berdaya; engkaupun akan mencari tempat perlindungan terhadap musuh. 12Segala kubumu adalah seperti pohon ara dengan buah ara yang masak duluan; jika diayunkan, maka jatuhlah buahnya ke dalam mulut orang yang hendak memakannya. 13Sesungguhnya, laskar yang di tengah-tengahmu itu adalah perempuan-perempuan; pintu-pintu gerbang negerimu terbuka lebar-lebar untuk musuhmu; api telah memakan habis palang pintumu. 14Timbalah air menghadapi pengepungan, perkuatlah kubu-kubumu ! Pijaklah lumpur, injaklah tanah liat, peganglah acuan batu bata ! 15Di sana api akan memakan engkau habis, pedang akan membabat engkau, akan memakan engkau seperti belalang pelompat. Sekalipun engkau berjumlah besar seperti belalang pelompat, berjumlah besar seperti belalang pindahan, 16sekalipun kauperbanyak orang-orang dagangmu lebih dari bintang-bintang di langit, seperti belalang pelompat mereka mengembangkan sayap dan terbang menghilang. 17Sekalipun para penjagamu seperti belalang pindahan dan para pegawaimu seperti kawanan belalang, yang hinggap pada tembok-tembok pada waktu dingin, namun jika matahari terbit, mereka lari menghilang, tidak ketahuan tempatnya. 18Celaka! Alangkah terlelapnya para gembalamu, hai raja negeri Asyur ! Para pemukamu tertidur, laskarmu berserak-serak di gunung-gunung, dan tidak ada yang mengumpulkan. 19Tiada pengobatan untuk cederamu, lukamu tidak tersembuhkan. Semua orang yang mendengar tentang engkau bertepuk tangan karena engkau; sebab kepada siapakah tidak tertimpa perbuatan jahatmu terus-menerus ?
8Are you better than No-amon,
Which was situated by the canals of the Nile,
With water surrounding her,
Whose rampart was the sea,
Whose wall consisted of the sea? 9Ethiopia was her might,
Egypt too, without limits.
Put and Lubim were among her helpers. 10Yet she became an exile,
She went into captivity;
Also her small children were smashed to pieces
At the head of every street;
They cast lots for her honorable men,
And all her great men were bound with shackles. 11You too will become drunk,
You will be hidden.
You too will search for a refuge from the enemy. 12All your fortifications are fig trees with ripe fruit—
When shaken, they fall into the eater’s mouth. 13Behold, your people are women in your midst!
The gates of your land are opened wide to your enemies;
Fire consumes your gate bars. 14Draw for yourself water for a siege!
Strengthen your fortifications!
Go into the clay and tread the mortar!
Take hold of the brick mold! 15There fire will consume you,
The sword will cut you down;
It will consume you as the creeping locust consumes a crop.
Multiply yourself like the creeping locust,
Multiply yourself like the migratory locust. 16You have made your traders more numerous than the stars of heaven—
The creeping locust sheds its skin and flies away. 17Your courtiers are like the migratory locust.
Your officials are like a swarm of locusts
Settling in the stone shelters on a cold day.
The sun rises and they flee,
And the place where they are is not known. 18Your shepherds are sleeping, O king of Assyria;
Your officers are lying down.
Your people are scattered on the mountains
And there is no one to gather them. 19There is no relief for your collapse,
Your wound is incurable.
All who hear about you
Will clap their hands over you,
For upon whom has your evil not come continually?
