¹Come near, you nations, to hear! Listen, you peoples. Let the earth and all it contains hear; the world, and everything that comes from it.

¹Marilah berkumpul, hai bangsa-bangsa, dan dengarlah. Biarlah seluruh bumi dan semua yang hidup di dalamnya datang dan mendengarkan.

²For Yahweh is enraged against all the nations, and angry with all their armies. He has utterly destroyed them. He has given them over for slaughter.

²TUHAN marah kepada semua bangsa dan segala pasukan mereka. Ia akan menghukum dan membinasakan mereka.

³Their slain will also be cast out, and the stench of their dead bodies will come up; and the mountains will melt in their blood.

³Mayat-mayat mereka tak akan dikuburkan, tetapi dibiarkan saja menjadi busuk dan berbau. Gunung-gunung akan merah karena kebanjiran darah mereka.

⁴All of the army of the sky will be dissolved. The sky will be rolled up like a scroll, and all its armies will fade away, as a leaf fades from off a vine or a fig tree.

⁴Matahari, bulan dan bintang-bintang akan hancur. Langit akan digulung seperti gulungan kertas. Bintang-bintang akan jatuh seperti daun-daun yang berguguran dari pohon.

⁵For my sword has drunk its fill in the sky. Behold, it will come down on Edom, and on the people of my curse, for judgment.

⁵TUHAN sudah menyiapkan pedang-Nya di surga, dan sekarang pedang itu akan menimpa bangsa Edom yang telah dijatuhi hukuman dan akan dibinasakan.

⁶Yahweh’s sword is filled with blood. It is covered with fat, with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams; for Yahweh has a sacrifice in Bozrah, And a great slaughter in the land of Edom.

⁶Pedang TUHAN akan berlumuran darah dan penuh dengan lemak mereka, seperti dengan darah dan lemak binatang kurban. Sebab TUHAN menyediakan kurban di Bozra, dan mengadakan pembantaian besar-besaran di tanah Edom.

⁷The wild oxen will come down with them, and the young bulls with the mighty bulls; and their land will be drunken with blood, and their dust made greasy with fat.

⁷Orang-orang akan tewas seperti lembu liar dan sapi muda. Negeri mereka akan merah dengan darah dan penuh dengan lemak.

⁸For Yahweh has a day of vengeance, a year of recompense for the cause of Zion.

⁸Itulah saatnya TUHAN membela Sion dan membalas dendam kepada musuh-musuh-Nya.

⁹Its streams will be turned into pitch, its dust into sulfur, And its land will become burning pitch.

⁹Sungai-sungai Edom akan berubah menjadi ter, dan tanahnya menjadi belerang. Akhirnya seluruh negeri menyala seperti ter.

¹⁰It won’t be quenched night nor day. Its smoke will go up forever. From generation to generation, it will lie waste. No one will pass through it forever and ever.

¹⁰Siang malam nyala itu tidak padam, dan asap mengepul daripadanya untuk selama-lamanya. Tanah itu akan ditinggalkan kosong dan gersang turun-temurun, dan tak seorang pun akan melaluinya.

¹¹But the pelican and the porcupine will possess it. The owl and the raven will dwell in it. He will stretch the line of confusion over it, and the plumb line of emptiness.

¹¹Burung undan dan landak akan mendiaminya, burung hantu dan gagak akan tinggal di sana. TUHAN menjadikan tanah itu kacau dan kosong seperti sebelum penciptaan.

¹²They shall call its nobles to the kingdom, but none shall be there; and all its princes shall be nothing.

¹²Tak ada raja yang memerintah negeri itu, dan semua pemimpinnya sudah lenyap.

¹³Thorns will come up in its palaces, nettles and thistles in its fortresses; and it will be a habitation of jackals, a court for ostriches.

¹³Puri-purinya dan kota-kotanya yang berkubu akan ditumbuhi semak berduri dan rumput, dan dihuni oleh anjing hutan dan burung unta.

¹⁴The wild animals of the desert will meet with the wolves, and the wild goat will cry to his fellow. Yes, the night creature literally, lilith, which could also be a night demon or night monster shall settle there, and shall find herself a place of rest.

¹⁴Binatang buas akan berkeliaran di dalamnya; hantu-hantu bersahut-sahutan, dan hantu malam mencari tempat beristirahat.

¹⁵The arrow snake will make her nest there, and lay, hatch, and gather under her shade. Yes, the kites will be gathered there, every one with her mate.

¹⁵Di tempat itu ular berbisa membuat sarangnya, bertelur, mengeram dan memelihara anak-anaknya. Burung alap-alap pun berkumpul dengan pasangannya masing-masing.

¹⁶Search in the book of Yahweh, and read: not one of these will be missing. none will lack her mate. For my mouth has commanded, and his Spirit has gathered them.

¹⁶Carilah dan bacalah dalam Kitab TUHAN: Tidak satu pun dari semua makhluk itu akan hilang atau tanpa pasangan. Sebab begitulah perintah TUHAN, dan Ia sendiri yang telah mengumpulkan mereka.

¹⁷He has cast the lot for them, and his hand has divided it to them with a measuring line. They shall possess it forever. From generation to generation they will dwell in it.

¹⁷Tuhanlah yang membagi negeri itu di antara mereka dan masing-masing menerima bagiannya. Mereka akan tinggal di situ untuk selama-lamanya, dan tanah itu menjadi milik mereka turun-temurun.
