Ezekiel 13
1 Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
Kemudian datanglah firman TUHAN kepadaku:
2 “You human, [a warning] against the prophets in Israel who are prophesying. Some of them are prophesying things that they themselves have imagined/thought. Say to them: 'Listen to what Yahweh says!
"Hai anak manusia, bernubuatlah melawan nabi-nabi Israel, bernubuatlah dan katakanlah kepada mereka yang bernubuat sesuka hatinya saja: Dengarlah firman TUHAN!
3 He says, “Terrible things will happen to those wicked prophets who proclaim their own ideas and have not seen [visions from me].
Beginilah firman Tuhan ALLAH: Celakalah nabi-nabi yang bebal yang mengikuti bisikan hatinya sendiri dan yang tidak melihat sesuatu penglihatan.
4 You Israeli people, your prophets [as useless] as [SIM] jackals/wolves [that only dig] through the [of a city].
Seperti anjing hutan di tengah-tengah reruntuhan, begitulah nabi-nabimu, hai Israel!
5 Those prophets have not helped you Israeli people [MTY] to repair the places where [city] walls have (been broken/crumbled). That needs to be done in order that the walls will be strong at the time when I, Yahweh, [allow your enemies] to attack you.
Kamu tidak mempertahankan lobang-lobang pada tembokmu dan tidak mendirikan tembok sekeliling rumah Israel, supaya mereka dapat tetap berdiri di dalam peperangan pada hari TUHAN.
6 The visions and prophecies of those prophets are false. They say, 'Yahweh told me this,' but I have not sent [to you to be my prophets]. But they expect that what they prophesy will truly happen!
Penglihatan mereka menipu dan tenungan mereka adalah bohong; mereka berkata: Demikianlah firman TUHAN, padahal TUHAN tidak mengutus mereka, dan mereka menanti firman itu digenapi-Nya.
7 They say that they have seen visions, but those visions are false, and the things that they prophesy are lies [RHQ]. They say, 'Yahweh told me this,' but I have told them nothing!”
Bukankah penglihatan tipuan yang kamu lihat dan tenungan bohong yang kamu katakan, kalau kamu berkata: Demikianlah firman TUHAN, padahal Aku tidak berbicara?
8 Therefore, this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: “Because you prophets have said what is false, and because your visions are lies, I am opposed to you.
Sebab itu, beginilah firman Tuhan ALLAH, oleh karena kamu mengatakan kata-kata dusta dan melihat perkara-perkara bohong, maka Aku akan menjadi lawanmu, demikianlah firman Tuhan ALLAH.
9 I will strike/punish all you prophets who falsely say that you have seen visions and prophesy things that are lies. You will not have any place among my people, your names will not be listed in the records of the Israeli people, and you will never return to Israel. Then you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
Aku akan mengacungkan tangan-Ku melawan nabi-nabi yang melihat perkara-perkara yang menipu dan yang mengucapkan tenungan-tenungan bohong; mereka tidak termasuk perkumpulan umat-Ku dan tidak akan tercatat dalam daftar kaum Israel, dan tidak akan masuk lagi di tanah Israel; dan kamu akan mengetahui bahwa Akulah Tuhan ALLAH.
10 They deceive my people, saying “Things will go well for us,” when things will not go well. [It as though] [MET] the people have built a shaky/weak wall, and the prophets cover it with (whitewash/white paint) [to make people think that it is a very strong wall].
Oleh karena, ya sungguh karena mereka menyesatkan umat-Ku dengan mengatakan: Damai sejahtera!, padahal sama sekali tidak ada damai sejahtera--mereka itu mendirikan tembok dan lihat, mereka mengapurnya--
11 So, tell those prophets who cover the wall with whitewash that the wall will surely fall down. It will rain very hard. I will send big hailstones to fall. Very strong winds will blow against it.
katakanlah kepada mereka yang mengapur tembok itu: Hujan lebat akan membanjir, rambun akan jatuh dan angin tofan akan bertiup!
12 When the wall falls down, the people will certainly say to those prophets, “The white paint certainly did not [RHQ] make the wall strong!”
Kalau tembok itu sudah runtuh, apakah orang tidak akan berkata kepadamu: Di mana sekarang kapur, yang kamu oleskan itu?
13 So this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: “Because I am very angry with you, [I will send enemy armies to destroy Jerusalem. It will be as though] [MET] I will send a very strong wind and hailstones and very heavy rains to destroy you.”
Oleh sebab itu beginilah firman Tuhan ALLAH: Di dalam amarah-Ku Aku akan membuat angin tofan bertiup dan di dalam murka-Ku hujan lebat akan membanjir, dan di dalam amarah-Ku rambun yang membinasakan akan jatuh.
14 [The false prophecies of your prophets are like] [MET] a wall that they have covered with whitewash, but I will break it down, and shatter it down to the ground, with the result that people can see its foundations. When the wall collapses, you also will be killed, and everyone will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
Dan Aku akan meruntuhkan tembok yang kamu kapur itu dan merobohkannya ke tanah, supaya dasarnya menjadi kelihatan; tembok kota itu akan runtuh dan kamu akan tewas di dalamnya. Dan kamu akan mengetahui bahwa Akulah TUHAN.
15 In that way I will show that I am very angry [the people who built] the wall and those who covered it with (whitewash/white paint). Then I will say to you, “The wall is destroyed/gone, and those prophets who put (whitewash/white paint) on it have been killed.”
Begitulah Aku akan melampiaskan amarah-Ku atas tembok itu dan kepada mereka yang mengapurnya dan Aku akan berkata kepadamu: Lenyap temboknya dan lenyap orang-orang yang mengapurnya,
16 Those are the prophets who prophesied that things would go well for the people in Jerusalem, when things would not go well for them.
yaitu nabi-nabi Israel yang bernubuat tentang Yerusalem dan melihat baginya suatu penglihatan mengenai damai sejahtera, padahal sama sekali tidak ada damai sejahtera, demikianlah firman Tuhan ALLAH."
17 So, you human, show that you are angry with [IDM] the women of Jerusalem who prophesy things that they themselves have imagined.
"Engkau anak manusia, tujukanlah mukamu kepada kaum perempuan bangsamu yang bernubuat sesuka hatinya saja dan bernubuatlah melawan mereka.
18 Tell them, “This is what Yahweh the Lord says: Terrible things will happen to you women who fasten magic charms on your wrists and make veils of various sizes to put on your heads in order to deceive the people. [You think that] [RHQ] you will deceive [by telling them that you know what will happen in the future], and that you will save your own lives.
Katakanlah: Beginilah firman Tuhan ALLAH: Celakalah dukun-dukun perempuan, yang mengikatkan tali-tali azimat pada semua pergelangan dan mengenakan selubung pada kepala semua orang, tua atau muda, untuk menangkap jiwa orang. Apakah kamu hendak menangkap jiwa orang yang termasuk umat-Ku dan membiarkan orang-orang lain hidup untuk kepentinganmu?
19 You dishonored [by telling lies] in order to get from my people a few handfuls of barley and a few pieces of bread. My people listen to lies; and you women who are lying to them have caused to be killed people who did not deserve to die and have (spared/allowed to remain alive) those who should not continue to live.”
Kamu melanggar kekudusan-Ku di tengah-tengah umat-Ku hanya demi beberapa genggam jelai dan beberapa potong roti, dengan membunuh orang-orang yang tidak patut mati, dan membiarkan hidup orang-orang yang tidak patut hidup, dalam hal kamu berbohong kepada umat-Ku yang sedia mendengar bohong.
20 Therefore, this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, [to those women]: “I detest your magic charms by which you deceive people like [SIM] [people trap] birds. I will tear those charms off your wrists, and I will cause the people whom you have deceived to no longer be deceived by you.
Oleh sebab itu beginilah firman Tuhan ALLAH: Aku akan menentang tali-tali azimatmu, dengan mana kamu menangkap jiwa orang dan Aku akan mengoyakkannya dari tanganmu dan melepaskan seperti burung-burung, orang-orang yang kamu tangkap.
21 I will also tear off your veils and rescue my people from continuing to be deceived by you, and they will no longer be under your control. Then you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
Aku akan mengoyakkan selubungmu dan akan melepaskan umat-Ku dari tanganmu dan mereka tidak lagi menjadi mangsa di dalam tanganmu. Dan kamu akan mengetahui bahwa Akulah TUHAN.
22 You have discouraged righteous people by telling them lies when I did not [do things to] cause them to be sad. And you have encouraged wicked people to not turn away from their wicked behavior; if they had done that, they would have continued to remain alive.
Oleh karena kamu melemahkan hati orang benar dengan dusta, sedang Aku tidak mendukakan hatinya, dan sebaliknya kamu mengeraskan hati orang fasik, sehingga ia tidak bertobat dari kelakuannya yang fasik itu, dan kamu membiarkan dia hidup.
23 Therefore, you will no longer falsely say that you have seen visions or tell people what will happen in the future [in order to please them]. I will rescue my people from being deceived by you. And then you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].” '”
Oleh sebab itu kamu tidak lagi melihat perkara-perkara yang menipu dan mengucapkan tenungan-tenungan bohong; Aku akan melepaskan umat-Ku dari tanganmu dan kamu akan mengetahui bahwa Akulah TUHAN."
