Ezekiel 32

1 And it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, in the first day of the month, that the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

Pada tanggal satu bulan dua belas dalam tahun kedua belas masa pembuangan kami, TUHAN berkata kepadaku,

2 Son of man, take up a lamentation for Pharao the king of Egypt, and say to him: Thou art like the lion of the nations, and the dragon that is in the sea: and thou didst push with the horn in thy rivers, and didst trouble the waters with thy feet, and didst trample upon their streams.

"Hai manusia fana, berilah peringatan keras kepada raja Mesir. Sampaikanlah pesan-Ku ini kepadanya, 'Engkau berlagak seperti singa muda di antara bangsa-bangsa, tetapi engkau lebih menyerupai buaya yang berkecimpung di dalam air. Kakimu mengeruhkan dan mengotorkan segala sungai.

3 Therefore, thus saith the Lord God: I will spread out my net over thee with the multitude of many people, and I will draw thee up in my net.

Pada waktu bangsa-bangsa berkumpul, Aku akan menangkap engkau dengan jala-Ku, dan membiarkan bangsa-bangsa itu menyeret engkau ke darat.

4 And I will throw thee out on the land, I will cast thee away into the open field: and I will cause all the fowls of the air to dwell upon thee, and I will fill the beasts of all the earth with thee.

Engkau akan Kuhempaskan ke tanah dan semua burung serta binatang dari seluruh dunia akan Kusuruh memakan engkau.

5 And I will lay thy flesh upon the mountains, and will fill thy hills with thy corruption,

Lalu gunung-gunung dan lembah-lembah akan Kupenuhi dengan bangkaimu yang membusuk itu.

6 And I will water the earth with thy stinking blood upon the mountains, and the valleys shall be filled with thee.

Darahmu akan Kutumpahkan sehingga membasahi gunung-gunung dan memenuhi sungai-sungai.

7 And I will cover the heavens, when thou shalt be put out, and I will make the stars thereof dark: I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give her light.

Pada saat Aku membinasakan engkau, langit akan Kuselubungi dan bintang-bintang akan Kuredupkan. Matahari akan Kusembunyikan di balik awan dan bulan tidak akan bercahaya.

8 I will make all the lights of heaven to mourn over thee: and I will cause darkness upon thy land, saith the Lord God, when thy wounded shall fall in the midst of the land, saith the Lord God.

Sungguh, segala terang di langit akan Kupadamkan, dan bumi akan Kujadikan gelap gulita. Aku, TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi telah berbicara.

9 And I shall provoke to anger the heart of many people, when I shall have brought in thy destruction among the nations upon the lands, which thou knowest not.

Pada waktu Aku menyiarkan berita tentang kehancuranmu di negeri-negeri yang belum kaukenal, banyak bangsa akan menjadi cemas.

10 And I will make many people to be amazed at thee, and their kings shell be horribly afraid for thee, when my sword shall begin to fly upon their faces: and they shall be astonished on a sudden, every one for his own life, in the day of their ruin.

Sungguh, Aku akan mengayunkan pedang-Ku dan mengalahkan engkau. Raja-raja dan bangsa-bangsa akan melihat tindakan-Ku itu terhadap engkau. Pada saat itu mereka akan gemetar ketakutan dan menggigil karena takut mati.'"

11 For thus saith the Lord God: The sword of the king of Babylon shall come upon thee,

TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi berkata kepada raja Mesir, "Pedang raja Babel akan diacungkan kepadamu.

12 By the swords of the mighty I will overthrow thy multitude: all these nations are invincible: and they shall waste the pride of Egypt, and the multitude thereof shall be destroyed.

Prajurit-prajurit dari bangsa-bangsa yang kejam akan Kusuruh mencabut pedang mereka dan membantai seluruh rakyatmu. Rakyatmu dan segala apa yang kaubanggakan akan hancur lebur.

13 I will destroy also all the beasts thereof that were beside the great waters: and the foot of man shall trouble them no more, neither shall the hoof of beasts trouble them.

Ternakmu akan Kubantai di tepi sungai-sungai tempat mereka minum. Baik manusia maupun hewan tak akan mengeruhkan air sungai itu lagi.

14 Then will I make their waters clear, and cause their rivers to run like oil, saith the Lord God:

Maka sungai-sungai di negerimu akan Kujernihkan dan Kubuat mengalir dengan tenang. Aku, TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi telah berbicara.

15 When I shall have made the land of Egypt desolate: and the land shall be destitute of her fulness, when I shall have struck all the inhabitants thereof: and they shall know that I am the Lord.

Bilamana Mesir Kujadikan padang gurun yang sepi, serta Kubinasakan semua yang tinggal di situ, mereka akan tahu bahwa Akulah TUHAN.

16 This is the lamentation, and they shall lament therewith: the daughters of the nations shall lament therewith: for Egypt, and for the multitude thereof they shall lament therewith, saith the Lord God.

Peringatan yang keras ini akan menjadi nyanyian kabung. Kaum wanita dari bangsa-bangsa lain akan menyanyikannya sebagai tanda berkabung bagi Mesir dan seluruh rakyatnya. Aku, TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi telah berbicara."

17 And it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the fifteenth day of the month that the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

Pada tanggal lima belas bulan satu dalam tahun kedua belas masa pembuangan kami, TUHAN berkata lagi kepadaku,

18 Son of man, sing a mournful song for the multitude of Egypt: and cast her down, both her, and the daughters of the mighty nations to the lowest part of the earth, with them that go down into the pit.

"Hai manusia fana, berkabunglah bagi rakyat di Mesir. Kirimlah mereka ke dunia orang mati bersama-sama dengan negeri-negeri kuat lainnya.

19 Whom dost thou excel in beauty? go down and sleep with the uncircumcised.

Katakanlah kepada mereka, 'Sangkamu kamukah yang paling jelita? Kamu akan turun ke dunia orang mati, dan dibaringkan di antara orang-orang yang tidak mengenal Allah.'

20 They shall fall in the midst of them that are slain with the sword: the sword is given, they have drawn her down, and all her people.

Bangsa Mesir akan mati bersama dengan mereka yang tewas dalam pertempuran. Sebuah pedang sudah siap untuk membunuh mereka semua.

21 The most mighty among the strong ones shall speak to him from the midst of hell, they that went down with his helpers, and slept uncircumcised, slain by the sword. (Sheol h7585)

Pahlawan-pahlawan yang gagah berani dan orang-orang yang berperang di pihak Mesir menyambut dengan gembira kedatangan orang Mesir ke dunia orang mati. Mereka bersorak begini, 'Orang-orang yang tidak mengenal Allah itu telah tewas dalam pertempuran. Sekarang mereka datang ke mari dan berbaring di sini!' (Sheol h7585)

22 Assur is there, and all his multitude: their graves are round about him, all of them slain, and that fell by the sword.

Asyur berbaring di sana, dikelilingi oleh kuburan prajurit-prajuritnya. Mereka semua telah tewas dalam pertempuran. Kuburan mereka ada di bagian yang paling dalam di dunia orang mati. Ketika masih hidup, mereka menimbulkan ketakutan di dunia.

23 Whose graves are set in the lowest parts of the pit: and his multitude lay round about his grave: all of them slain, and fallen by the sword, they that heretofore spread terror in the land of the living.

24 There is Elam and all his multitude round about his grave, all of them slain, and fallen by the sword; that went down uncircumcised to the lowest parts of the earth: that caused their terror in the land of the living, and they have borne their shame with them that go down into the pit.

Elam ada di sana dengan kuburan prajuritnya di sekelilingnya. Tanpa disunat, mereka semua tewas dalam pertempuran, lalu turun ke dunia orang mati. Ketika hidup, mereka menimbulkan ketakutan, tetapi sekarang mereka telah mati dan harus menanggung malu bersama orang-orang yang telah tewas dalam pertempuran.

25 In the midst of the slain they have set him a bed among all his people: their graves are round about him: all these are uncircumcised, and slain by the sword: for they spread their terror in the land of the living, and have borne their shame with them that descend into the pit: they are laid in the midst of the slain.

26 There is Mosoch, and Thubal, and all their multitude: their graves are round about him: all of them uncircumcised and slain, and fallen by the sword: though they spread their terror in the land of the living.

Mesekh dan Tubal ada di situ, dikelilingi oleh kuburan prajurit-prajurit mereka. Tanpa disunat, mereka semua tewas dalam pertempuran. Ketika hidup, mereka menimbulkan ketakutan di dunia.

27 And they shall not sleep with the brave, and with them that fell uncircumcised, that went down to hell with their weapons, and laid their swords under their heads, and their iniquities were in their bones, because they were the terror of the mighty in the land of the living. (Sheol h7585)

Mereka tidak mendapat penguburan secara terhormat seperti pahlawan di zaman dahulu yang turun ke dunia orang mati dengan bersenjata lengkap. Pahlawan-pahlawan itu dikuburkan dengan pedang di bawah kepala dan perisai di atas dada. Waktu masih hidup, pahlawan-pahlawan sungguh perkasa sehingga membuat takut semua orang. (Sheol h7585)

28 So thou also shalt be broken in the midst of the uncircumcised, and shalt sleep with them that are slain by the sword.

Demikianlah orang Mesir akan dikuburkan dan dibaringkan di tengah orang-orang yang tidak mengenal Allah dan tewas dalam pertempuran.

29 There is Edom, and her kings, and all her princes, who with their army are joined with them that are slain by the sword: and have slept with the uncircumcised, and with them that go down into the pit.

Edom ada di sana dengan semua raja dan penguasanya. Dahulu mereka adalah prajurit-prajurit yang kuat, tetapi sekarang mereka terbaring di dunia orang mati bersama dengan orang-orang mati lainnya yang tidak mengenal Allah.

30 There are all the princes of the north, and all the hunters: who were brought down with the slain, fearing, and confounded in their strength: who slept uncircumcised with them that are slain by the sword, and have borne their shame with them that go down into the pit.

Semua pangeran dari utara ada di sana, demikian juga orang-orang Sidon. Dahulu kekuasaan mereka menimbulkan ketakutan, tetapi sekarang mereka dipermalukan dan tanpa disunat turun ke dunia orang mati bersama orang-orang yang tewas dalam pertempuran. Di sana mereka berbaring dan menanggung noda bersama orang-orang yang turun ke dunia orang mati.

31 Pharao saw them, and he was comforted concerning all his multitude, which was slain by the sword: Pharao, and all his army, saith the Lord God:

Bilamana raja Mesir dan tentaranya tiba di dunia orang mati dan melihat semua orang itu yang telah tewas dalam pertempuran, mereka akan merasa terhibur. Aku TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi telah berbicara.

32 Because I have spread my terror in the land of the living, and he hath slept in the midst of the uncircumcised with them that are slain by the sword: Pharao and all his multitude, saith the Lord God.

Akulah yang menyebabkan raja Mesir menimbulkan ketakutan pada orang-orang yang hidup, tetapi dia dan tentaranya akan tewas dan dibaringkan bersama semua orang yang tidak mengenal Allah dan gugur dalam pertempuran. Aku TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi telah berbicara."
