Ezekiel 3

1 “Son of man,” He said to me, “eat what you find here. Eat this scroll, then go and speak to the house of Israel.”

Allah berkata, "Hai manusia fana, makanlah kitab gulungan ini, lalu pergilah dan berbicaralah kepada orang-orang Israel."

2 So I opened my mouth, and He fed me the scroll.

Lalu kubuka mulutku dan Allah memberikan kitab gulungan itu kepadaku supaya kumakan.

3 “Son of man,” He said to me, “eat and fill your stomach with this scroll I am giving you.” So I ate, and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth.

Kata-Nya, "Hai manusia fana, makanlah! Isilah perutmu dengan kitab gulungan ini." Lalu kitab itu kumakan dan rasanya manis seperti madu.

4 Then He said to me, “Son of man, go now to the house of Israel and speak My words to them.

Allah berkata lagi, "Hai manusia fana, pergilah kepada orang-orang Israel dan sampaikanlah segala pesan-Ku kepada mereka.

5 For you are not being sent to a people of unfamiliar speech or difficult language, but to the house of Israel—

Kepada merekalah engkau Kuutus, dan bukan kepada bangsa yang bahasanya sulit, asing dan tidak kau mengerti. Seandainya engkau Kuutus kepada bangsa yang seperti itu, maka mereka akan mendengarkan kata-katamu.

6 not to the many peoples of unfamiliar speech and difficult language whose words you cannot understand. Surely if I had sent you to them, they would have listened to you.

7 But the house of Israel will be unwilling to listen to you, since they are unwilling to listen to Me. For the whole house of Israel is hard-headed and hard-hearted.

Tetapi bangsa Israel tidak mau mendengarkan engkau, bahkan Aku pun tak mereka hiraukan. Mereka semua keras kepala dan suka melawan.

8 Behold, I will make your face as hard as their faces, and your forehead as hard as their foreheads.

Sekarang engkau akan Kubuat keras kepala dan ulet seperti mereka juga.

9 I will make your forehead like a diamond, harder than flint. Do not be afraid of them or dismayed at their presence, even though they are a rebellious house.”

Engkau akan Kujadikan seteguh batu karang dan sekeras intan. Janganlah takut kepada para pemberontak itu."

10 “Son of man,” He added, “listen carefully to all the words I speak to you, and take them to heart.

Selanjutnya Allah berkata, "Hai manusia fana, perhatikanlah baik-baik dan ingatlah segala yang akan Kukatakan kepadamu.

11 Go to your people, the exiles; speak to them and tell them, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says,’ whether they listen or refuse to listen.”

Pergilah kepada bangsamu yang ada dalam pembuangan itu, dan sampaikanlah apa yang Aku, TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi katakan kepada mereka, entah mereka mau mendengarkan atau tidak."

12 Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard a great rumbling sound behind me: ‘Blessed be the glory of the LORD in His dwelling place!’

Lalu Roh Allah mengangkat aku dan di belakangku kudengar suara gemuruh yang berkata, "Pujilah kemuliaan TUHAN di surga!"

13 It was the sound of the wings of the living creatures brushing against one another and the sound of the wheels beside them, a great rumbling sound.

Kudengar bunyi sayap makhluk-makhluk itu yang saling bersentuhan, dan bunyi gemertak roda-roda itu yang senyaring bunyi gempa bumi.

14 So the Spirit lifted me up and took me away, and I went in bitterness and in the anger of my spirit, with the strong hand of the LORD upon me.

Kekuasaan TUHAN mendatangi aku dengan hebat, dan ketika aku diangkat dan dibawa oleh Roh-Nya, hatiku terasa pahit dan panas.

15 I came to the exiles at Tel-abib who dwelt by the River Kebar. And for seven days I sat where they sat and remained there among them, overwhelmed.

Maka tibalah aku di tempat pemukiman para buangan di Tel-Abib di tepi Sungai Kebar. Selama tujuh hari aku tinggal di situ; aku termangu-mangu oleh segala yang baru saja kudengar dan kulihat itu.

16 At the end of seven days the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

Sesudah tujuh hari, TUHAN berkata kepadaku,

17 “Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel. Whenever you hear a word from My mouth, give them a warning from Me.

"Hai manusia fana, engkau Kuangkat menjadi penjaga bangsa Israel. Sampaikanlah kepada mereka peringatan yang Kuberikan ini.

18 If I say to the wicked man, ‘You will surely die,’ but you do not warn him or speak out to warn him from his wicked way to save his life, that wicked man will die in his iniquity, and I will hold you responsible for his blood.

Jika Aku memberitahukan bahwa seorang penjahat akan mati, tetapi engkau tidak memperingatkan dia supaya ia mengubah kelakuannya sehingga ia selamat, maka ia akan mati masih sebagai seorang berdosa, dan tanggung jawab atas kematiannya akan dituntut daripadamu.

19 But if you warn a wicked man and he does not turn from his wickedness and his wicked way, he will die in his iniquity, but you will have saved yourself.

Jika engkau memperingatkan orang jahat itu dan ia tak mau berhenti berbuat jahat, dia akan mati sebagai orang berdosa, tetapi engkau sendiri akan selamat.

20 Now if a righteous man turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and I put a stumbling block before him, he will die. If you did not warn him, he will die in his sin, and the righteous acts he did will not be remembered. And I will hold you responsible for his blood.

Kalau seorang yang baik mulai berbuat dosa, dan dia Kuhadapkan dengan bahaya, maka ia akan mati apabila engkau tidak memperingatkannya. Ia akan mati karena dosa-dosanya, dan perbuatan-perbuatannya yang baik tidak akan Kuingat. Tetapi tanggung jawab atas kematiannya itu akan Kutuntut daripadamu.

21 But if you warn the righteous man not to sin, and he does not sin, he will indeed live because he heeded your warning, and you will have saved yourself.”

Jika orang yang baik itu kauperingatkan supaya jangan berbuat dosa, dan ia menurut nasihatmu, maka dia tidak akan Kuhukum dan engkau akan selamat."

22 And there the hand of the LORD was upon me, and He said to me, “Get up, go out to the plain, and there I will speak with you.”

Kurasakan kuatnya kehadiran TUHAN dan kudengar Ia mengatakan kepadaku, "Bangunlah dan pergilah ke lembah. Di sana Aku akan berbicara kepadamu."

23 So I got up and went out to the plain, and behold, the glory of the LORD was present there, like the glory I had seen by the River Kebar, and I fell facedown.

Maka pergilah aku ke lembah, dan di situ kulihat terang kemilau yang menunjukkan kehadiran TUHAN seperti yang telah kulihat di tepi Sungai Kebar. Lalu aku jatuh tertelungkup di atas tanah,

24 Then the Spirit entered me and set me on my feet. He spoke with me and said, “Go, shut yourself inside your house.

tetapi Roh Allah memasuki dan menegakkan aku. TUHAN berkata kepadaku, "Pulanglah dan berkurunglah di dalam rumah.

25 And you, son of man, they will tie with ropes, and you will be bound so that you cannot go out among the people.

Hai manusia fana, engkau akan diikat dengan tali sehingga tak dapat keluar dan tak dapat bertemu dengan orang.

26 I will make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth, and you will be silent and unable to rebuke them, though they are a rebellious house.

Aku akan membuat lidahmu kaku sehingga engkau tak dapat memperingatkan bangsa pemberontak ini.

27 But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth, and you are to tell them, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says.’ Whoever listens, let him listen; and whoever refuses, let him refuse, for they are a rebellious house.

Nanti, kalau Aku berbicara kepadamu lagi dan mengembalikan kemampuanmu untuk berkata-kata, engkau harus menyampaikan apa yang Aku, TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi katakan kepada mereka. Sebagian dari mereka akan mendengarkan, tetapi sebagian lagi tidak, karena mereka memang bangsa pemberontak."
