< Ezekiel 6 >
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Kemudian datanglah firman TUHAN kepadaku:
2 Son of man, let your face be turned to the mountains of Israel, and be a prophet to them, and say,
"Hai anak manusia, tujukanlah mukamu ke gunung-gunung Israel dan bernubuatlah melawan mereka!
3 You mountains of Israel, give ear to the words of the Lord: this is what the Lord has said to the mountains and the hills, to the waterways and the valleys: See, I, even I, am sending on you a sword for the destruction of your high places.
Katakanlah: Hai gunung-gunung Israel, dengarkanlah firman Tuhan ALLAH! Beginilah firman Tuhan ALLAH kepada gunung-gunung dan bukit-bukit, kepada alur-alur sungai dan lembah-lembah: Sungguh, Aku akan mendatangkan perang atasmu dan Aku akan membinasakan bukit-bukit pengorbananmu.
4 And your altars will be made waste, and your sun-images will be broken: and I will have your dead men placed before your images.
Mezbah-mezbahmu akan menjadi sunyi sepi dan pedupaan-pedupaanmu akan dirusak; dan Aku akan merebahkan orang-orangmu yang terbunuh di hadapan berhala-berhalamu.
5 And I will put the dead bodies of the children of Israel in front of their images, sending your bones in all directions about your altars.
Aku akan mencampakkan mayat-mayat orang Israel di hadapan berhala-berhala mereka dan menghamburkan tulang-tulangmu keliling mezbah-mezbahmu.
6 In all your living-places the towns will become broken walls, and the high places made waste; so that your altars may be broken down and made waste, and your images broken and ended, and so that your sun-images may be cut down and your works rubbed out.
Di mana saja kamu diam, kota-kotamu akan menjadi reruntuhan dan bukit-bukit pengorbananmu akan menjadi sunyi sepi, supaya mezbah-mezbahmu dihancurkan dan ditinggalkan sunyi sepi, berhala-berhalamu diremukkan dan ditiadakan, pedupaan-pedupaanmu diluluhkan dan buatan-buatan tanganmu dihapuskan.
7 And the dead will be falling down among you, and you will be certain that I am the Lord.
Dan orang-orangmu yang terbunuh akan berebahan di tengah-tengahmu dan kamu akan mengetahui, bahwa Akulah TUHAN.
8 But still, I will keep a small band safe from the sword among the nations, when you are sent wandering among the countries.
Tetapi sebagian, yaitu yang terluput dari pedang, akan Kutinggalkan hidup di antara bangsa-bangsa, bilamana kamu dihamburkan ke negeri-negeri itu.
9 And those of you who are kept safe will have me in mind among the nations where they have been taken away as prisoners, how I sent punishment on their hearts which were untrue to me, and on their eyes which were turned to their false gods: and they will be full of hate for themselves because of the evil things which they have done in all their disgusting ways.
Di sana, di tengah-tengah bangsa-bangsa, ke mana mereka dibawa tertawan, orang-orang yang terluput dari antara kamu akan mengingat kepada-Ku, tatkala Aku mengembalikan hati mereka yang berzinah itu, yang sudah menjauh dari pada-Ku dan mengalihkan mata mereka, yang selalu berzinah dengan mengikuti berhala-berhala mereka; maka mereka sendiri akan merasa mual melihat kejahatan yang mereka lakukan dan melihat segala perbuatan mereka yang keji.
10 And they will be certain that I am the Lord: not for nothing did I say that I would do this evil to them.
Dan mereka akan mengetahui, bahwa Akulah TUHAN dan bukan cakap angin, kalau Aku berfirman hendak menjatuhkan malapetaka ini atas mereka."
11 This is what the Lord has said: Give blows with your hand, stamping with your foot, and say, O sorrow! because of all the evil and disgusting ways of the children of Israel: for death will overtake them by the sword and through need of food and by disease.
Beginilah firman Tuhan ALLAH: "Bertepuklah dan entakkanlah kakimu ke tanah dan serukanlah: Awas! Oleh sebab segala perbuatan kaum Israel yang keji dan jahat, mereka akan rebah mati karena pedang, kelaparan dan penyakit sampar.
12 He who is far away will come to his death by disease; he who is near will be put to the sword; he who is shut up will come to his death through need of food; and I will give full effect to my passion against them.
Yang jauh akan mati karena sampar, yang dekat akan rebah karena pedang dan yang terluput serta terpelihara akan mati karena kelaparan. Demikianlah Aku akan melampiaskan amarah-Ku kepada mereka.
13 And you will be certain that I am the Lord, when their dead men are stretched among their images round about their altars on every high hill, on all the tops of the mountains, and under every branching tree, and under every thick oak-tree, the places where they made sweet smells to all their images.
Dan kamu akan mengetahui, bahwa Akulah TUHAN, tatkala orang-orang mereka yang terbunuh berebahan di tengah-tengah berhala-berhala mereka keliling mezbah-mezbahnya, di atas setiap bukit yang tinggi dan di atas semua puncak-puncak gunung, di bawah setiap pohon yang rimbun dan setiap pohon keramat yang penuh cabang-cabang, di tempat mana mereka membawa korban persembahan yang harum bagi semua berhala-berhala mereka.
14 And my hand will be stretched out against them, making the land waste and unpeopled, from the waste land to Riblah, through all their living-places: and they will be certain that I am the Lord.
Aku akan mengacungkan tangan-Ku melawan mereka dan tanahnya, di mana saja mereka diam, akan Kubuat menjadi musnah dan sunyi sepi mulai dari padang gurun sampai ke Ribla dan mereka akan mengetahui, bahwa Akulah TUHAN."
