Ezekiel 7
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
TUHAN berbicara kepadaku,
2 And you, son of man, say, This is what the Lord has said to the land of Israel: An end has come, the end has come on the four quarters of the land.
"Hai manusia fana, Aku, TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi, hendak mengatakan ini kepada tanah Israel: Inilah akhir riwayat seluruh negeri ini!"
3 Now the end has come on you, and I will send my wrath on you, judging you for your ways, I will send punishment on you for all your disgusting acts.
TUHAN berkata, "Hai Israel, sekarang sudah tiba kesudahanmu. Engkau akan merasakan murka-Ku. Engkau Kuadili sesuai dengan perbuatanmu yang keji.
4 My eye will not have mercy on you, and I will have no pity: but I will send the punishment of your ways on you, and your disgusting works will be among you: and you will be certain that I am the Lord.
Aku tidak akan kasihan atau memberi ampun kepadamu. Aku akan menghukum engkau sesuai dengan segala kekejian yang telah kauperbuat. Maka tahulah engkau bahwa Akulah TUHAN."
5 This is what the Lord has said: An evil, even one evil; see, it is coming.
Inilah yang dikatakan TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi kepada bangsa Israel, "Bencana demi bencana akan menimpa kamu.
6 An end has come, the end has come; see, it is coming on you.
Sekarang segalanya telah berakhir. Inilah kesudahanmu. Tidak ada harapan lagi bagimu.
7 The crowning time has come on you, O people of the land: the time has come, the day is near; the day will not be slow in coming, it will not keep back.
Segalanya telah berakhir bagimu, hai bangsa yang tinggal di tanah ini. Sekarang tidak ada lagi pesta-pesta di mezbah-mezbah pegunungan, yang ada hanyalah kekacauan saja.
8 Now, in a little time, I will let loose my passion on you, and give full effect to my wrath against you, judging you for your ways, and sending punishment on you for all your disgusting works.
Tak lama lagi kamu akan merasakan murka-Ku yang dahsyat. Kamu Kuadili sesuai dengan perbuatanmu. Akan Kubalaskan kepadamu segala perbuatanmu yang keji.
9 My eye will not have mercy, and I will have no pity: I will send on you the punishment of your ways, and your disgusting works will be among you; and you will see that I am the Lord who gives punishment.
Aku tidak akan kasihan atau memberi ampun kepadamu. Aku akan menghukum kamu sesuai dengan segala kekejian yang telah kamu perbuat. Maka tahulah kamu bahwa Akulah TUHAN dan Akulah yang menghukum kamu."
10 See, the day; see, it is coming: the crowning time has gone out; the twisted way is flowering, pride has put out buds.
Hari bencana bagi bangsa Israel telah tiba. Kekerasan merajalela. Kesombongan mencapai puncaknya.
11 Violent behaviour has been lifted up into a rod of evil; it will not be slow in coming, it will not keep back.
Kekejaman mengakibatkan lebih banyak kejahatan. Seluruh kekayaan, keagungan dan kejayaan mereka akan habis tak berbekas.
12 The time has come, the day is near: let not him who gives a price for goods be glad, or him who gets the price have sorrow:
Waktunya segera datang, harinya sudah dekat! Si pembeli dan si penjual tidak mendapat keuntungan apa-apa, sebab hukuman Allah akan menimpa semua orang.
13 For the trader will not go back to the things for which he had his price, even while he is still living:
Tak ada pedagang yang akan sempat mendapat kembali apa yang telah dijualnya, sebab murka Allah menimpa siapa saja. Orang yang jahat tidak akan selamat.
14 And he who has given a price for goods will not get them, for my wrath is on all of them.
Trompet berbunyi dan semua orang bersiap-siap. Tetapi tak seorang pun berangkat ke medan perang, sebab murka Allah menimpa semua orang.
15 Outside is the sword, and inside disease and need of food: he who is in the open country will be put to the sword; he who is in the town will come to his end through need of food and disease.
Di jalan-jalan kota ada peperangan, di rumah-rumah ada wabah penyakit dan kelaparan. Siapa saja yang berada di luar kota akan mati dalam peperangan, dan yang tinggal di kota akan menjadi kurban penyakit dan kelaparan.
16 And those of them who get away safely will go and be in the secret places like the doves of the valleys, all of them will come to death, every one in his sin.
Sebagian akan luput dan melarikan diri ke pegunungan. Di situ mereka akan seperti burung-burung dara yang dihalau dari lembah-lembah; semuanya akan merintih karena dosa-dosa mereka.
17 All hands will be feeble and all knees without strength, like water.
Setiap orang akan menjadi lemah tangannya dan goyah lututnya.
18 And they will put haircloth round them, and deep fear will be covering them; and shame will be on all faces, and the hair gone from all their heads.
Mereka akan memakai kain karung dan sekujur tubuhnya akan gemetar. Kepala mereka akan digunduli dan mereka dipermalukan.
19 They will put out their silver into the streets, and their gold will be as an unclean thing; their silver and their gold will not be able to keep them safe in the day of the wrath of the Lord; they will not get their desire or have food for their need: because it has been the cause of their falling into sin.
Emas dan perak akan mereka buang di jalan seperti sampah, sebab pada hari TUHAN melampiaskan amarah-Nya, emas dan perak itu tak dapat menyelamatkan mereka, malahan telah menjerumuskan mereka ke dalam dosa. Mereka tak dapat menggunakannya untuk memuaskan nafsu atau untuk mengisi perut mereka.
20 As for their beautiful ornament, they had put it on high, and had made the images of their disgusting and hated things in it: for this cause I have made it an unclean thing to them.
Dahulu mereka bangga akan permata mereka yang indah, tetapi karena mereka memakainya untuk membuat berhala-berhala yang menjijikkan, TUHAN membuat harta mereka itu menjadi sesuatu yang mengerikan.
21 And I will give it into the hands of men from strange lands who will take it by force, and to the evil-doers of the earth to have for themselves; and they will make it unholy.
TUHAN berkata kepada bangsa Israel, "Aku akan membiarkan orang-orang asing merampoki kamu. Penjahat-penjahat akan merampas hartamu dan menajiskannya.
22 And my face will be turned away from them, and they will make my secret place unholy: violent men will go into it and make it unholy.
Aku tak akan turun tangan bila Rumah-Ku dirusakkan dan dicemarkan oleh perampok-perampok.
23 Make the chain: for the land is full of crimes of blood, and the town is full of violent acts.
Seluruh negeri menjadi kacau; di mana-mana ada pembunuhan dan kekejaman.
24 For this reason I will send the worst of the nations and they will take their houses for themselves: I will make the pride of their strength come to an end; and their holy places will be made unclean.
Bangsa-bangsa yang paling ganas akan Kudatangkan untuk menduduki rumah-rumahmu. Jagoan-jagoanmu yang paling perkasa akan gentar apabila bangsa-bangsa itu Kubiarkan menghancurkan tempat-tempat ibadahmu.
25 Shaking fear is coming; and they will be looking for peace, and there will be no peace.
Mereka ditimpa kesedihan dan putus asa, lalu mencari kedamaian, tetapi tidak mereka temukan.
26 Destruction will come on destruction, and one story after another; and the vision of the prophet will be shamed, and knowledge of the law will come to an end among the priests, and wisdom among the old.
Malapetaka dan kabar buruk akan datang terus-menerus. Kamu akan memohon agar para nabi mau meramal, tetapi mereka tak bisa. Juga para imam tidak punya apa-apa untuk diajarkan kepada umat, dan para pemimpin kehabisan nasihat.
27 The king will give himself up to sorrow, and the ruler will be clothed with wonder, and the hands of the people of the land will be troubled: I will give them punishment for their ways, judging them as it is right for them to be judged; and they will be certain that I am the Lord.
Raja akan meratap, putra mahkota putus asa dan rakyat akan gemetar ketakutan. Aku akan menghukum kamu sesuai dengan segala perbuatanmu dan menghakimi kamu seperti kamu menghakimi orang lain. Maka tahulah kamu bahwa Akulah TUHAN."
