Ezekiel 14
1 One day some of the elders of Israel came to me and sat down in front of me.
Beberapa orang dari pemimpin bangsa Israel datang kepadaku untuk menanyakan kehendak TUHAN.
2 Then Yahweh gave me this message:
Lalu berkatalah TUHAN kepadaku,
3 “You human, these men want to [IDM] worship idols, and they are allowing idols to induce them to sin [IDM]. So I will certainly [RHQ] answer them if they ask me for advice.
"Hai manusia fana, orang-orang ini telah mempercayakan dirinya kepada berhala sehingga mereka terjerumus ke dalam dosa. Masakan Aku mau ditanyai oleh mereka?
4 So say this to them: ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: When any Israeli person wants to worship idols which will induce him to sin, and he goes to a [to get advice], I, Yahweh, will give him the answer that he deserves to receive because he worship idols.
Sebab itu, katakanlah kepada mereka bahwa Aku, TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi berpesan begini, 'Setiap orang Israel yang telah mempercayakan dirinya kepada berhala dan membiarkan dirinya terjerumus ke dalam dosa, lalu datang untuk minta nasihat kepada seorang nabi, akan Kujawab sendiri dengan jawaban yang selayaknya bagi berhala-berhalanya yang banyak itu!
5 [I will do that] in order that the Israeli people, who have abandoned me in order to worship their idols, will sincerely [IDM] worship me again.’
Semua berhala itu telah menjauhkan umat-Ku daripada-Ku, tetapi mudah-mudahan dengan jawaban-Ku itu umat-Ku akan kembali kepada-Ku.'
6 Therefore, say to the Israeli people, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: (Repent/Stop sinning)! Stop worshiping your idols, and stop all your [other] detestable behavior!’
Beritahukanlah juga kepada orang Israel bahwa Aku, TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi berkata kepada mereka, 'Bertobatlah dari dosa-dosamu, dan tinggalkanlah berhala-berhalamu yang memuakkan itu.'
7 When any of [you] Israeli people or any foreigner living among you turns away from me and starts worshiping idols [IDM] that induce him to sin, and then goes to a prophet to find out what I want him to do, I myself will answer him.
Setiap orang Israel atau orang asing yang tinggal di antara bangsa Israel, yang menjauhi Aku dan mempercayakan dirinya kepada berhala, lalu minta nasihat kepada seorang nabi, akan Kujawab sendiri.
8 I will show that I detest him, and [what happens to] him to be a warning [to others], and cause him to be someone whom people despise. I will cause him to no longer be allowed to associate with my people. Then you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
Aku akan melawan dia dan menjadikan dia contoh bagi yang lain. Aku akan mengucilkan dia dari masyarakat umat-Ku, maka tahulah umat-Ku bahwa Akulah TUHAN.
9 And if a prophet is deceived and gives a false prophecy, [even though] I [allowed him to] give that message, I will get rid of him and remove him from among my Israeli people.
Kalau seorang nabi telah ditipu sehingga memberi jawaban yang salah, Akulah yang telah menipunya. Aku, TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi akan mengucilkan dia dari orang-orang Israel.
10 Both the prophet and the one who asks him for advice will be guilty, [and I will punish both of them].
Baik nabi itu maupun mereka yang minta nasihatnya, akan mendapat hukuman yang sama.
11 Then you Israeli people will no longer abandon me, and you will no longer become unacceptable to me because of your sins. You will be my people, and I will be your God. [That is what I], Yahweh the Lord, say.”
Semua itu Kulakukan supaya orang Israel jangan lagi menjauhi Aku dan jangan pula menajiskan diri dengan dosa. Dengan demikian mereka akan menjadi umat-Ku, dan Aku menjadi Allah mereka." Aku, TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi telah berbicara.
12 Yahweh gave me another message. [He said],
TUHAN berkata kepadaku, "Hai manusia fana,
13 “You human, [the people of some] country sin against me by abandoning me, and I punish [IDM] them by cutting off their food supply and by sending a famine, with the result that people and animals die,
bila suatu negeri berdosa dan tak setia kepada-Ku, Aku akan menghukum negeri itu. Aku akan menghancurkan persediaan makanannya, mendatangkan bencana kelaparan dan membunuh baik manusia maupun binatang.
14 even if Noah, Daniel, and Job were there, they would save only themselves because of their being righteous. [That is what I], Yahweh the Lord, declare.
Sekalipun Nuh, Danel dan Ayub tinggal di tempat itu, maka kebaikan mereka bertiga hanya dapat menyelamatkan nyawa mereka sendiri saja. Aku, TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi telah berbicara.
15 Or, if I send wild animals throughout the country, and they attack and [many of] [HYP] the people, with the result that travel in that country becomes very dangerous and no one travels through that country,
Boleh jadi Aku mendatangkan binatang-binatang buas untuk menerkam penduduk negeri itu, sehingga daerah itu menjadi sangat berbahaya dan tak seorang pun berani melewatinya.
16 [as surely] as I am alive, even if those three men were in that country, they could not save [even their own] sons or [from being killed]. Only those [three] would (be saved/remain alive), and the country would become desolate. [That is what I], Yahweh the Lord, declare.
Sekalipun Nuh, Danel dan Ayub tinggal disitu, maka demi Aku, Allah yang hidup, TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi, mereka tidak akan dapat menyelamatkan siapa saja, bahkan anak mereka sendiri pun tidak. Hanya mereka sendiri saja yang selamat, sedangkan negeri itu akan menjadi gurun.
17 Or, if I bring enemy soldiers [MTY] to attack that country, and they kill [MTY] people and animals throughout that country with their swords,
Boleh jadi Aku mendatangkan perang ke negeri itu, dan Kukirimkan senjata-senjata ampuh untuk membinasakan baik manusia maupun binatang.
18 as surely as I am alive, even if those three men were in that country, they would not be able to save even their own sons or [from being killed]. They would save only themselves. That is what I, Yahweh the Lord, declare.
Dan sekalipun ketiga orang tadi tinggal di situ, maka demi Aku, Allah yang hidup, TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi, mereka tidak akan dapat menyelamatkan siapa saja, bahkan anak mereka sendiri pun tidak. Hanya mereka sendiri saja yang selamat.
19 Or, if I send a plague into that land and cause the people and the animals to [from the plague] because I am very angry with those people,
Boleh jadi Aku mendatangkan wabah penyakit ke negeri itu, dan Kuluapkan amarah-Ku terhadapnya sehingga baik manusia maupun binatang akan binasa.
20 [as surely] as I am alive, even if Noah, Daniel and Job were in that country, they would not [be able to] save even their sons and daughters. They would save only themselves because of their being righteous. [That is what I], Yahweh the Lord, declare.
Dan sekalipun Nuh, Danel dan Ayub tinggal di situ, maka demi Aku, Allah yang hidup, TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi, mereka tak akan dapat menyelamatkan siapa saja, bahkan anak mereka sendiri pun tidak. Hanya mereka sendiri saja yang selamat karena kebaikan mereka."
21 So [now] this is what [I, ], Yahweh the Lord, say: I will cause four things to happen to [the people of] Jerusalem to punish them very severely. [Some] people and animals will be killed by swords, [some will die from] famines, [others will be attacked and killed by] wild animals, and [others will die in] plagues.
TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi berkata, "Aku akan menjatuhkan keempat hukuman-Ku yang paling dahsyat ke atas Yerusalem untuk memusnahkan baik manusia maupun binatang. Hukuman itu ialah: perang, bala kelaparan, binatang buas dan wabah penyakit.
22 But some [of your people] will remain alive, [both adults] and children. They will come to you, [Ezekiel, in Babylon]. And when you see [disgusting] behavior and actions, you will realize that I had good reasons for causing [the people of] Jerusalem to experience those many great disasters [DOU] that I have sent to them.
Seandainya ada yang berhasil lolos dan menyelamatkan anak-anaknya, perhatikanlah mereka apabila mereka datang kepadamu. Lihat bagaimana jahatnya mereka, maka kamu akan sadar bahwa tepatlah tindakan-Ku untuk menghukum Yerusalem.
23 When you see those things that they do, you will know that there were very good reasons [LIT] for me to do everything that I caused to happen to them. [That is what I], Yahweh the Lord, declare.”
Lalu kamu pun akan mengerti bahwa segala tindakan-Ku itu mempunyai alasan. Aku TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi telah berbicara."
