Ezekiel 3
1 And he said to me, Son of man, take this roll for your food, and go and say my words to the children of Israel.
Firman-Nya kepadaku: "Hai anak manusia, makanlah apa yang engkau lihat di sini; makanlah gulungan kitab ini dan pergilah, berbicaralah kepada kaum Israel."
2 And, on my opening my mouth, he made me take the roll as food.
Maka kubukalah mulutku dan diberikan-Nya gulungan kitab itu kumakan.
3 And he said to me, Son of man, let your stomach make a meal of it and let your inside be full of this roll which I am giving you. Then I took it, and it was sweet as honey in my mouth.
Lalu firman-Nya kepadaku: "Hai anak manusia, makanlah gulungan kitab yang Kuberikan ini kepadamu dan isilah perutmu dengan itu." Lalu aku memakannya dan rasanya manis seperti madu dalam mulutku.
4 And he said to me, Son of man, go now to the children of Israel, and say my words to them.
Firman-Nya kepadaku: "Hai anak manusia, mari, pergilah dan temuilah kaum Israel dan sampaikanlah perkataan-perkataan-Ku kepada mereka.
5 For you are not sent to a people whose talk is strange and whose language is hard, but to the children of Israel;
Sebab engkau tidak diutus kepada suatu bangsa yang berbahasa asing dan yang berat lidah, tetapi kepada kaum Israel;
6 Not to a number of peoples whose talk is strange and whose language is hard and whose words are not clear to you. Truly, if I sent you to them they would give ear to you.
bukan kepada banyak bangsa-bangsa yang berbahasa asing dan yang berat lidah, yang engkau tidak mengerti bahasanya. Sekiranya aku mengutus engkau kepada bangsa yang demikian, mereka akan mendengarkan engkau.
7 But the children of Israel will not give ear to you; for they have no mind to give ear to me: for all the children of Israel have a hard brow and a stiff heart.
Akan tetapi kaum Israel tidak mau mendengarkan engkau, sebab mereka tidak mau mendengarkan Aku, karena seluruh kaum Israel berkepala batu dan bertegar hati.
8 See, I have made your face hard against their faces, and your brow hard against their brows.
Lihat, Aku meneguhkan hatimu melawan mereka yang berkepala batu dan membajakan semangatmu melawan ketegaran hati mereka.
9 Like a diamond harder than rock I have made your brow: have no fear of them and do not be overcome by their looks, for they are an uncontrolled people.
Seperti batu intan, yang lebih keras dari pada batu Kuteguhkan hatimu; janganlah takut kepada mereka dan janganlah gentar melihat mukanya, sebab mereka adalah kaum pemberontak."
10 Then he said to me, Son of man, take into your heart all my words which I am about to say to you, and let your ears be open to them.
Selanjutnya firman-Nya kepadaku: "Hai anak manusia, perhatikanlah segala perkataan-Ku yang akan Kufirmankan kepadamu dan berikanlah telingamu kepadanya.
11 And go now to those who have been taken away as prisoners, to the children of your people, and say to them, This is what the Lord has said; if they give ear or if they do not.
Mari, pergilah dan temuilah orang-orang buangan, teman sebangsamu, berbicaralah kepada mereka dan katakanlah: Beginilah firman Tuhan ALLAH; baik mereka mau mendengarkan atau tidak."
12 Then I was lifted up by the wind, and at my back the sound of a great rushing came to my ears when the glory of the Lord was lifted up from his place.
Maka Roh itu mengangkat aku, dan aku mendengar di belakangku suatu suara gemuruh yang besar, tatkala kemuliaan Allah naik ke atas dari tempatnya,
13 And there was the sound of the wings of the living beings touching one another, and the sound of the wheels at their side, the sound of a great rushing.
yakni suara dari sayap-sayap makhluk-makhluk hidup yang menggesek satu sama lain, dan di samping itu suara gemertak dari roda-roda, suatu suara gemuruh yang besar.
14 And the wind, lifting me up, took me away: and I went in the heat of my spirit, and the hand of the Lord was strong on me.
Dan Roh itu mengangkat dan membawa aku, dan aku pergi dengan hati panas dan dengan perasaan pahit, karena kekuasaan TUHAN memaksa aku dengan sangat.
15 Then I came to those who had been taken away as prisoners, who were at Telabib by the river Chebar, and I was seated among them full of wonder for seven days.
Demikianlah aku datang kepada orang-orang buangan yang tinggal di tepi sungai Kebar di Tel-Abib dan di sana aku duduk tertegun di tengah-tengah mereka selama tujuh hari.
16 And at the end of seven days, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Sesudah tujuh hari datanglah firman TUHAN kepadaku:
17 Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the children of Israel: so give ear to the word of my mouth, and give them word from me of their danger.
"Hai anak manusia, Aku telah menetapkan engkau menjadi penjaga kaum Israel. Bilamana engkau mendengarkan sesuatu firman dari pada-Ku, peringatkanlah mereka atas nama-Ku.
18 When I say to the evil-doer, Death will certainly be your fate; and you give him no word of it and say nothing to make clear to the evil-doer the danger of his evil way, so that he may be safe; that same evil man will come to death in his evil-doing; but I will make you responsible for his blood.
Kalau Aku berfirman kepada orang jahat: Engkau pasti dihukum mati! --dan engkau tidak memperingatkan dia atau tidak berkata apa-apa untuk memperingatkan orang jahat itu dari hidupnya yang jahat, supaya ia tetap hidup, orang jahat itu akan mati dalam kesalahannya, tetapi Aku akan menuntut pertanggungan jawab atas nyawanya dari padamu.
19 But if you give the evil-doer word of his danger, and he is not turned from his sin or from his evil way, death will overtake him in his evil-doing; but your life will be safe.
Tetapi jikalau engkau memperingatkan orang jahat itu dan ia tidak berbalik dari kejahatannya dan dari hidupnya yang jahat, ia akan mati dalam kesalahannya, tetapi engkau telah menyelamatkan nyawamu.
20 Again, when an upright man, turning away from his righteousness, does evil, and I put a cause of falling in his way, death will overtake him: because you have given him no word of his danger, death will overtake him in his evil-doing, and there will be no memory of the upright acts which he has done; but I will make you responsible for his blood.
Jikalau seorang yang benar berbalik dari kebenarannya dan ia berbuat curang, dan Aku meletakkan batu sandungan di hadapannya, ia akan mati. Oleh karena engkau tidak memperingatkan dia, ia akan mati dalam dosanya dan perbuatan-perbuatan kebenaran yang dikerjakannya tidak akan diingat-ingat, tetapi Aku akan menuntut pertanggungan jawab atas nyawanya dari padamu.
21 But if you say to the upright man that he is not to do evil, he will certainly keep his life because he took note of your word; and your life will be safe.
Tetapi jikalau engkau memperingatkan orang yang benar itu supaya ia jangan berbuat dosa dan memang tidak berbuat dosa, ia akan tetap hidup, sebab ia mau menerima peringatan, dan engkau telah menyelamatkan nyawamu."
22 And the hand of the Lord was on me there; and he said, Get up and go out into the valley and there I will have talk with you.
Maka di sana kekuasaan TUHAN meliputi aku dan Ia berfirman kepadaku: "Bangunlah dan pergilah ke lembah, di sana Aku akan berbicara dengan engkau."
23 Then I got up and went out into the valley; and I saw the glory of the Lord resting there as I had seen it by the river Chebar; and I went down on my face.
Aku bangun dan pergi ke lembah; sesungguhnya di sana kelihatan kemuliaan TUHAN seperti kemuliaan yang telah kulihat di tepi sungai Kebar, dan aku sujud.
24 Then the spirit came into me and put me on my feet; and he had talk with me and said to me, Go and keep yourself shut up inside your house.
Tetapi masuklah Roh ke dalam aku dan ditegakkannya aku, lalu Ia berbicara dengan aku, kata-Nya: "Pergilah pulang, kurunglah dirimu di dalam rumahmu.
25 But see, O son of man, I will put bands on you, prisoning you in them, and you will not go out among them:
Dan engkau, anak manusia, sesungguhnya, engkau akan diikat dengan tali dan akan dibelenggu, sehingga engkau tidak bisa keluar masuk di tengah-tengah mereka.
26 And I will make your tongue fixed to the roof of your mouth, so that you have no voice and may not make protests to them: for they are an uncontrolled people.
Dan Aku akan membuat lidahmu melekat pada langit-langitmu, sehingga engkau menjadi bisu dan tidak akan menempelak mereka, sebab mereka adalah kaum pemberontak.
27 But when I have talk with you I will make your mouth open, and you are to say to them, This is what the Lord has said: Let the hearer give ear; and as for him who will not, let him keep his ears shut: for they are an uncontrolled people.
Tetapi kalau Aku berbicara dengan engkau, Aku akan membuka mulutmu dan engkau akan mengatakan kepada mereka: Beginilah firman Tuhan ALLAH. Orang yang mau mendengar, biarlah ia mendengar; dan orang yang mau membiarkan, baiklah membiarkan, sebab mereka adalah kaum pemberontak."
