< Ezekiel 28 >

1 The word of the LORD came again to me, saying,
TUHAN berkata kepadaku,
2 "Son of man, tell the prince of Tyre, 'Thus says the LORD: "Because your heart is lifted up, and you have said, 'I am a god, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas'; yet you are man, and not God, though you set your heart as the heart of God—
"Hai manusia fana, sampaikanlah kepada raja Tirus, apa yang Aku TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi katakan kepadanya, 'Dengan sombong engkau menganggap dirimu dewa yang bertakhta di tengah-tengah laut. Boleh saja engkau berlagak sebagai dewa, tetapi ingatlah, engkau hanya manusia biasa.
3 look, you are wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that is hidden from you;
Sangkamu engkau lebih pandai daripada Danel, sehingga tak ada rahasia yang tersembunyi bagimu.
4 by your wisdom and by your understanding you have gotten yourself riches, and have gotten gold and silver into your treasures;
Kaupakai hikmat dan pengertianmu untuk mengumpulkan harta, emas dan perak.
5 by your great wisdom and by your traffic you have increased your riches, and your heart is lifted up because of your riches"—
Memang, engkau pandai berdagang dan sekarang sudah kaya raya, dan kekayaanmu itu membuat engkau sombong!'"
6 therefore thus says the LORD: "Because you have set your heart as the heart of God,
TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi berkata, "Hai Tirus, karena engkau menganggap dirimu sama seperti Allah, Aku akan mengirim tentara asing yang sangat kejam untuk menyerang engkau. Mereka akan menghancurkan segala kemegahan yang telah kaucapai berkat hikmat dan pengertianmu.
7 therefore, look, I will bring strangers on you, the terrible of the nations; and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom, and they shall defile your brightness.
8 They shall bring you down to the pit; and you shall die the death of those who are slain, in the heart of the seas.
Engkau akan dibunuh dan dikuburkan di dalam laut.
9 Will you yet say before him who kills you, 'I am a god'? But you are a man, and not a god, in the hand of him who wounds you.
Nah, jika tiba saat itu, masih dapatkah engkau mengatakan bahwa engkau Allah? Di hadapan pembunuh-pembunuhmu, nyatalah bahwa engkau hanya manusia belaka.
10 You shall die the death of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it," says the LORD.'"
Engkau akan mati seperti orang hina karena dibunuh oleh orang asing yang tidak mengenal Allah. Aku, TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi telah berbicara."
11 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
TUHAN berkata lagi kepadaku, kata-Nya,
12 "Son of man, take up a lamentation over the king of Tyre, and tell him, 'Thus says the LORD: "You seal up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
"Hai manusia fana, merataplah untuk raja Tirus. Sampaikanlah apa yang Aku, TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi katakan kepadanya, 'Engkau pernah menjadi lambang kesempurnaan; dulu engkau sungguh bijaksana dan tampan!
13 You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone adorned you: ruby, topaz, emerald, chrysolite, onyx, jasper, sapphire, turquoise, and beryl. Gold work of tambourines and of pipes was in you. In the day that you were created they were prepared.
Tempat tinggalmu di Eden, taman Allah. Pakaianmu berhiaskan bermacam-macam permata: batu delima dan intan, topas, batu pirus, batu yakut, ratna, cempaka, batu nilam, zamrud dan batu alkali merah. Perhiasan emasmu pun banyak. Barang-barang itu dibuat untukmu pada hari engkau diciptakan.
14 You were the anointed cherub who covers: and I set you, so that you were on the holy mountain of God; you have walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
Malaikat yang menyeramkan Kutempatkan di situ untuk menjaga engkau. Engkau tinggal di atas gunung-Ku yang suci dan berjalan di tengah-tengah batu permata yang gemerlapan.
15 You were perfect in your ways from the day that you were created, until unrighteousness was found in you.
Kelakuanmu sempurna sejak engkau diciptakan sampai engkau mulai berbuat jahat.
16 By the abundance of your traffic they filled the midst of you with violence, and you have sinned: therefore I have cast you as profane out of the mountain of God; and I have destroyed you, covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
Engkau sibuk berjual beli, dan itulah yang membawa engkau kepada kekerasan dan dosa. Maka Kuusir engkau dari gunung-Ku yang suci, dan malaikat penjagamu menghalau engkau dari tengah-tengah permata yang gemerlapan itu.
17 Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty; you have corrupted your wisdom by reason of your brightness: I have cast you to the ground; I have laid you before kings, that they may see you.
Rupamu yang tampan membuat engkau sombong dan kemasyhuran menyebabkan engkau bertindak bodoh. Sebab itu engkau Kubanting ke tanah dan Kujadikan peringatan untuk raja-raja lain.'"
18 By the multitude of your iniquities, in the unrighteousness of your traffic, you have profaned your sanctuaries; therefore have I brought forth a fire from the midst of you; it has devoured you, and I have turned you to ashes on the earth in the sight of all those who see you.
TUHAN berkata, "Hai Tirus, engkau mencemarkan tempat-tempat ibadatmu karena kesalahan-kesalahan dan kecurangan waktu berjual beli. Sebab itu Kubakar engkau sehingga menjadi rata dengan tanah. Semua orang yang memandang engkau hanya melihat abu.
19 All those who know you among the peoples shall be astonished at you: you have become a terror, and you shall nevermore have any being."'"
Engkau telah hilang lenyap untuk selama-lamanya. Semua bangsa yang mengenal engkau menjadi gentar karena takut akan mengalami nasib seperti itu."
20 The word of the LORD came to me, saying,
TUHAN berkata kepadaku,
21 "Son of man, set your face toward Sidon, and prophesy against it,
"Hai manusia fana, kutukilah kota Sidon.
22 and say, 'Thus says the LORD: "Look, I am against you, Sidon; and I will be glorified in the midst of you;" and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall have executed judgments in her, and shall be sanctified in her.
Sampaikanlah kepada penduduknya bahwa Aku TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi berkata kepada mereka, 'Aku ini musuhmu, hai Sidon. Orang-orang akan memuji Aku karena tindakan-Ku terhadap engkau. Pada waktu Aku menghukum pendudukmu, mereka akan tahu bahwa Akulah TUHAN yang suci.
23 For I will send pestilence into her, and blood into her streets; and the wounded shall fall in the midst of her, with the sword on her on every side; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
Aku akan mendatangkan wabah penyakit, dan membiarkan darah mengalir di jalan-jalanmu. Engkau akan diserang musuh dari segala jurusan, dan pendudukmu akan dibunuh. Maka tahulah engkau bahwa Akulah TUHAN.'"
24 "'There shall be no more a pricking brier to the house of Israel, nor a hurting thorn of any that are around them, that scorned them; and they shall know that I am the LORD.'
TUHAN berkata, "Negeri-negeri tetangga yang pernah menghina Israel, tidak lagi merupakan onak dan duri yang menyakiti Israel. Mereka akan sadar bahwa Akulah TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi."
25 "Thus says the LORD: 'When I shall have gathered the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered, and shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the nations, then shall they dwell in their own land which I gave to my servant Jacob.
TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi berkata, "Aku akan mengumpulkan orang-orang Israel dari negeri-negeri jauh di tempat mereka telah Kuceraiberaikan, dan semua bangsa akan tahu bahwa Aku suci. Bangsa Israel akan tinggal lagi di tanah mereka sendiri, tanah yang telah Kuberikan kepada hamba-Ku Yakub.
26 They shall dwell securely in it; yes, they shall build houses, and plant vineyards, and shall dwell securely, when I have executed judgments on all those who do them despite all around them; and they shall know that I am the LORD their God.'"
Mereka akan hidup dengan aman di situ dan membangun rumah-rumah serta membuat kebun-kebun anggur. Aku akan menghukum semua tetangga mereka yang telah menghina mereka, sehingga Israel menjadi aman. Maka tahulah mereka bahwa Akulah TUHAN Allah mereka."
