< Jezekiel 28 >
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Maka datanglah firman TUHAN kepadaku:
2 And you, son of man, say to the prince of Tyrus, Thus says the Lord; Because your heart has been exalted, and you have said, I am God, I have inhabited the dwelling of God in the heart of the sea; yet you are man and not God, though you have set your heart as the heart of God:
"Hai anak manusia, katakanlah kepada raja Tirus: Beginilah firman Tuhan ALLAH: Karena engkau menjadi tinggi hati, dan berkata: Aku adalah Allah! Aku duduk di takhta Allah di tengah-tengah lautan. Padahal engkau adalah manusia, bukanlah Allah, walau hatimu menempatkan diri sama dengan Allah.
3 are you wiser than Daniel? or have not the wise instructed you with their knowledge?
Memang hikmatmu melebihi hikmat Daniel; tiada rahasia yang terlindung bagimu.
4 Hast you gained power for yourself by your [own] knowledge or your [own] prudence, and [gotten] gold and silver in your treasures?
Dengan hikmatmu dan pengertianmu engkau memperoleh kekayaan. Emas dan perak kaukumpulkan dalam perbendaharaanmu.
5 By your abundant knowledge and your traffic you have multiplied your power; your heart has been lifted up by your power.
Karena engkau sangat pandai berdagang engkau memperbanyak kekayaanmu, dan karena itu engkau jadi sombong.
6 Therefore thus says the Lord; Since you have set your heart as the hart of God;
Oleh sebab itu beginilah firman Tuhan ALLAH: Karena hatimu menempatkan diri sama dengan Allah
7 because of this, behold, I [will] bring on you strange plagues from the nations; and they shall draw their swords against you, and against the beauty of your knowledge,
maka, sungguh, Aku membawa orang asing melawan engkau, yaitu bangsa yang paling ganas, yang akan menghunus pedang mereka, melawan hikmatmu yang terpuja; dan semarakmu dinajiskan.
8 and they shall bring down your beauty to destruction. And they shall bring you down; and you shall die the death of the slain in the heart of the sea.
Engkau diturunkannya ke lobang kubur, engkau mati seperti orang yang mati terbunuh di tengah lautan.
9 Will you indeed say, I am God, before them that kill you? whereas you are man, and not God.
Apakah engkau masih akan mengatakan di hadapan pembunuhmu: Aku adalah Allah!? Padahal terhadap kuasa penikammu engkau adalah manusia, bukanlah Allah.
10 You shall perish by the hands of strangers among the multitude of the uncircumcised: for I have spoken it, says the Lord.
Engkau akan mati seperti orang tak bersunat oleh tangan orang asing. Sebab Aku yang mengatakannya, demikianlah firman Tuhan ALLAH."
11 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Lalu datanglah firman TUHAN kepadaku:
12 Son of man, take up a lamentation for the prince of Tyre, and say to him, Thus says the Lord God; You are a seal of resemblance, and crown of beauty.
"Hai anak manusia, ucapkanlah suatu ratapan mengenai raja Tirus dan katakanlah kepadanya: Beginilah firman Tuhan ALLAH: Gambar dari kesempurnaan engkau, penuh hikmat dan maha indah.
13 You were in the delight of the paradise of God; you have bound upon you every precious stone, the sardius, and topaz, and emerald, and carbuncle, and sapphire, and jasper, and silver, and gold, and ligure, and agate, and amethyst, and chrysolite, and beryl, and onyx: and you have filled your treasures and your stores in you with gold.
Engkau di taman Eden, yaitu taman Allah penuh segala batu permata yang berharga: yaspis merah, krisolit dan yaspis hijau, permata pirus, krisopras dan nefrit, lazurit, batu darah dan malakit. Tempat tatahannya diperbuat dari emas dan disediakan pada hari penciptaanmu.
14 From the day that you were created you [was] with the cherub: I set you on the holy mount of God; you were in the midst of the stones of fire.
Kuberikan tempatmu dekat kerub yang berjaga, di gunung kudus Allah engkau berada dan berjalan-jalan di tengah batu-batu yang bercahaya-cahaya.
15 You were faultless in your days, from the day that you were created, until iniquity was found in you.
Engkau tak bercela di dalam tingkah lakumu sejak hari penciptaanmu sampai terdapat kecurangan padamu.
16 Of the abundance of your merchandise you have filled your storehouses with iniquity, and have sinned: therefore you have been cast down wounded from the mount of God, and the cherub has brought you out of the midst of the stones of fire.
Dengan dagangmu yang besar engkau penuh dengan kekerasan dan engkau berbuat dosa. Maka Kubuangkan engkau dari gunung Allah dan kerub yang berjaga membinasakan engkau dari tengah batu-batu yang bercahaya.
17 Your heart has been lifted up because of your beauty; your knowledge has been corrupted with your beauty: because of the multitude of your sins I have cast you to the ground, I have caused you to be put to open shame before kings.
Engkau sombong karena kecantikanmu, hikmatmu kaumusnahkan demi semarakmu. Ke bumi kau Kulempar, kepada raja-raja engkau Kuserahkan menjadi tontonan bagi matanya.
18 Because of the multitude of your sins and the iniquities of your merchandise, I have profaned your sacred things; and I will bring fire out of the midst of you, this shall devour you; and I will make you [to be] ashes upon your land before all that see you.
Dengan banyaknya kesalahanmu dan kecurangan dalam dagangmu engkau melanggar kekudusan tempat kudusmu. Maka Aku menyalakan api dari tengahmu yang akan memakan habis engkau. Dan Kubiarkan engkau menjadi abu di atas bumi di hadapan semua yang melihatmu.
19 And all that know you among the nations shall groan over you: you are gone to destruction, and you shall not exist any more.
Semua di antara bangsa-bangsa yang mengenal engkau kaget melihat keadaanmu. Akhir hidupmu mendahsyatkan dan lenyap selamanya engkau."
20 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Lalu datanglah firman TUHAN kepadaku:
21 Son of man, set your face against Sidon, and prophesy against it,
"Hai anak manusia, tujukanlah mukamu kepada Sidon dan bernubuatlah melawan dia
22 and say, Thus says the Lord; Behold, I am against you, O Sidon; and I will be glorified in you; and you shall know that I am the Lord, when I have wrought judgments in you, and I will be sanctified in you.
dan katakanlah: Beginilah firman Tuhan ALLAH: Lihat, Aku menjadi lawanmu, hai Sidon, dan Aku menyatakan kemuliaan-Ku di tengah-tengahmu. Dan mereka akan mengetahui bahwa Akulah TUHAN, pada saat Aku menjatuhkan hukuman atasnya dan menunjukkan kekudusan-Ku terhadap dia.
23 Blood and death [shall be] in your streets; and [men] wounded with swords shall fall in you and on every side of you; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
Aku akan mendatangkan sampar atasnya dan darah akan mengalir di jalan-jalannya dan orang-orang akan mati rebah di tengah-tengahnya karena pedang yang datang dari sekitarnya melawan dia. Dan mereka akan mengetahui bahwa Akulah TUHAN.
24 And there shall no more be in the house of Israel a thorn of bitterness and a pricking briar proceeding from them that are round about them, who dishonored them; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
Dan tidak akan ada lagi bagi kaum Israel dari semua tetangganya yang menghina mereka, menjadi duri yang menusuk atau onak yang memedihkan. Dan mereka akan mengetahui bahwa Akulah Tuhan ALLAH.
25 Thus says the Lord God; I will also gather Israel from the nations, among whom they have been scattered, and I will be sanctified among them, and before the peoples and nations: and they shall dwell upon their land, which I gave to my servant Jacob.
Beginilah firman Tuhan ALLAH: Pada saat Aku mengumpulkan kaum Israel dari tengah suku-suku bangsa, di mana mereka berserak dan Aku menunjukkan kekudusan-Ku kepada mereka di hadapan bangsa-bangsa, maka mereka akan diam di tanah mereka yang telah Kuberikan kepada hamba-Ku Yakub.
26 Yes, they shall dwell upon it safely, and they shall build houses, and plant vineyards, and dwell securely, when I shall execute judgment on all that have dishonored them, [even] on those [that are] round about them; and they shall know that I am the Lord their God, and the God of their fathers.
Mereka akan diam di sana dengan aman tenteram, mereka akan membangun rumah dan membuat kebun anggur. Ya, mereka akan diam dengan aman tenteram pada saat Aku menjatuhkan hukuman atas semua tetangganya yang menghina mereka. Dan mereka akan mengetahui bahwa Akulah TUHAN, Allah mereka."
