Ezekiel 3
1 And he said unto me, Son of man, eat what thou findest: eat this roll, and go, speak unto the house of Israel.
Allah berkata, "Hai manusia fana, makanlah kitab gulungan ini, lalu pergilah dan berbicaralah kepada orang-orang Israel."
2 So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat this roll.
Lalu kubuka mulutku dan Allah memberikan kitab gulungan itu kepadaku supaya kumakan.
3 And he said unto me, Son of man, feed thy belly, and fill thy bowels with this roll that I am giving unto thee. And I ate it; and it was in my mouth like honey in sweetness.
Kata-Nya, "Hai manusia fana, makanlah! Isilah perutmu dengan kitab gulungan ini." Lalu kitab itu kumakan dan rasanya manis seperti madu.
4 And he said unto me, Son of man, go, get thee unto the house of Israel, and speak with my words unto them.
Allah berkata lagi, "Hai manusia fana, pergilah kepada orang-orang Israel dan sampaikanlah segala pesan-Ku kepada mereka.
5 For not to a people of an obscure speech and of a difficult tongue art thou sent, but to the house of Israel;
Kepada merekalah engkau Kuutus, dan bukan kepada bangsa yang bahasanya sulit, asing dan tidak kau mengerti. Seandainya engkau Kuutus kepada bangsa yang seperti itu, maka mereka akan mendengarkan kata-katamu.
6 Not to many people of an obscure speech and of a difficult tongue, whose words thou canst not understand. Surely, had I sent thee to them, they would truly have hearkened unto thee.
7 But the house of Israel will not hearken unto thee; for they will not hearken unto me; for all the house of Israel have a bold forehead, and a hard heart.
Tetapi bangsa Israel tidak mau mendengarkan engkau, bahkan Aku pun tak mereka hiraukan. Mereka semua keras kepala dan suka melawan.
8 Behold, I have made thy face strong against their face, and thy forehead strong against their forehead.
Sekarang engkau akan Kubuat keras kepala dan ulet seperti mereka juga.
9 As an adamant harder than flint have I made thy forehead: thou shalt not fear them, nor shalt thou be dismayed at their presence, though they be a rebellious family.
Engkau akan Kujadikan seteguh batu karang dan sekeras intan. Janganlah takut kepada para pemberontak itu."
10 And he said unto me, Son of man, all my words that I will speak unto thee receive in thy heart, and hear [them] with thy ears.
Selanjutnya Allah berkata, "Hai manusia fana, perhatikanlah baik-baik dan ingatlah segala yang akan Kukatakan kepadamu.
11 And go, get thee to those in exile, unto the children of thy people, and speak unto them, and say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal: whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear.
Pergilah kepada bangsamu yang ada dalam pembuangan itu, dan sampaikanlah apa yang Aku, TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi katakan kepada mereka, entah mereka mau mendengarkan atau tidak."
12 Then a spirit took me up, and I heard behind me a voice of a great rushing, [saying, ] Blessed be the glory of the Lord from his place.
Lalu Roh Allah mengangkat aku dan di belakangku kudengar suara gemuruh yang berkata, "Pujilah kemuliaan TUHAN di surga!"
13 [I heard] also the sound of the wings of the living creatures that touched one another, and the sound of the wheels at the same time with them, and the sound of a great rushing.
Kudengar bunyi sayap makhluk-makhluk itu yang saling bersentuhan, dan bunyi gemertak roda-roda itu yang senyaring bunyi gempa bumi.
14 So a spirit lifted me up, and took me away, and I walked in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit, and the inspiration of the Lord was strong upon me.
Kekuasaan TUHAN mendatangi aku dengan hebat, dan ketika aku diangkat dan dibawa oleh Roh-Nya, hatiku terasa pahit dan panas.
15 Then came I to the exiles at Tel-abib, who dwelt by the river Kebar, and I remained where they dwelt, and I remained there in a state of confusion among them seven days.
Maka tibalah aku di tempat pemukiman para buangan di Tel-Abib di tepi Sungai Kebar. Selama tujuh hari aku tinggal di situ; aku termangu-mangu oleh segala yang baru saja kudengar dan kulihat itu.
16 And it came to pass at the end of seven days, That the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
Sesudah tujuh hari, TUHAN berkata kepadaku,
17 Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: and thou shalt hear the word out of my mouth, and give them warning from me.
"Hai manusia fana, engkau Kuangkat menjadi penjaga bangsa Israel. Sampaikanlah kepada mereka peringatan yang Kuberikan ini.
18 When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou dost not give him warning, and speakest not to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life: the same wicked man shall die through his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thy hand.
Jika Aku memberitahukan bahwa seorang penjahat akan mati, tetapi engkau tidak memperingatkan dia supaya ia mengubah kelakuannya sehingga ia selamat, maka ia akan mati masih sebagai seorang berdosa, dan tanggung jawab atas kematiannya akan dituntut daripadamu.
19 But thou, —if thou hast warned the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way: he shall indeed die in his iniquity; but thou hast surely delivered thy soul.
Jika engkau memperingatkan orang jahat itu dan ia tak mau berhenti berbuat jahat, dia akan mati sebagai orang berdosa, tetapi engkau sendiri akan selamat.
20 Again, When a righteous man do turn from his righteousness, and do what is wrong: then will I lay a stumbling-block before him, [so that] he shall die; yet if thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his acts of righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require from thy hand.
Kalau seorang yang baik mulai berbuat dosa, dan dia Kuhadapkan dengan bahaya, maka ia akan mati apabila engkau tidak memperingatkannya. Ia akan mati karena dosa-dosanya, dan perbuatan-perbuatannya yang baik tidak akan Kuingat. Tetapi tanggung jawab atas kematiannya itu akan Kutuntut daripadamu.
21 But if thou hast truly warned him, —the righteous, that the righteous should not sin, and he doth not sin: he shall surely live, because he attended to the warning, and thou hast surely delivered thy own soul.
Jika orang yang baik itu kauperingatkan supaya jangan berbuat dosa, dan ia menurut nasihatmu, maka dia tidak akan Kuhukum dan engkau akan selamat."
22 And the inspiration of the Lord came there over me; and he said unto me, Arise, go forth into the valley, and there will I speak with thee.
Kurasakan kuatnya kehadiran TUHAN dan kudengar Ia mengatakan kepadaku, "Bangunlah dan pergilah ke lembah. Di sana Aku akan berbicara kepadamu."
23 And I arose, and went forth into the valley; and, behold, there was the glory of the Lord standing, like that glory which I had seen by the river Kebar: and I fell down on my face.
Maka pergilah aku ke lembah, dan di situ kulihat terang kemilau yang menunjukkan kehadiran TUHAN seperti yang telah kulihat di tepi Sungai Kebar. Lalu aku jatuh tertelungkup di atas tanah,
24 Then entered a spirit into me, and placed me upright on my feet, and spoke with me, and said unto me, Go, shut thyself up within thy house.
tetapi Roh Allah memasuki dan menegakkan aku. TUHAN berkata kepadaku, "Pulanglah dan berkurunglah di dalam rumah.
25 But thou, O son of man, behold, they put ropes upon thee, and bind thee with them, that thou canst not go out among them:
Hai manusia fana, engkau akan diikat dengan tali sehingga tak dapat keluar dan tak dapat bertemu dengan orang.
26 And I will let thy tongue cleave to the roof of thy mouth, that thou shalt be dumb, and shalt not become to them a man who reproveth; for they are a rebellious family.
Aku akan membuat lidahmu kaku sehingga engkau tak dapat memperingatkan bangsa pemberontak ini.
27 But when I speak with thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, He that heareth, let him hear; and he that forbeareth, let him forebear; for they are a rebellious family.
Nanti, kalau Aku berbicara kepadamu lagi dan mengembalikan kemampuanmu untuk berkata-kata, engkau harus menyampaikan apa yang Aku, TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi katakan kepada mereka. Sebagian dari mereka akan mendengarkan, tetapi sebagian lagi tidak, karena mereka memang bangsa pemberontak."
