< Ezekiel 16 >
1 Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
RAB bana şöyle seslendi:
2 “You human, cause the people of Jerusalem to think about their detestable behavior.
“İnsanoğlu, Yeruşalim'e yaptığı iğrenç uygulamaları bildir.
3 Say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says to you people of Jerusalem: [It is as though you are a woman who] [MET] was born in the country where the Canaan people-group lived. [It is as though] [MET] your father belonged to the Amor people-group and your mother belonged to the Heth people-group.
De ki, ‘Egemen RAB Yeruşalim'e şöyle diyor: Kökenin ve doğumun açısından Kenan ülkesindensin; baban Amorlu, annense Hititli'ydi.
4 [It is as though] [MET] on the day that you were born, your umbilical cord was not cut, and your body was not washed in water, and it was not rubbed with salt or wrapped in strips of cloth, [like Israeli babies always are].
Doğduğun gün göbek bağın kesilmedi, temizlemek için seni yıkamadılar, tuzla ovalamadılar, kundağa sarmadılar.
5 No one pitied you or acted kindly toward you by doing those things for you. Instead, [it was as though] [MET] you were thrown into a field, because on the day that you were born, you were despised {everyone despised you}.
Kimse bunlardan birini yapacak kadar sana acımadı, sevecenlik göstermedi. Senden tiksindikleri için doğduğun gün seni kıra attılar.
6 Then [it was as though] [MET] I passed by and saw you lying in your own blood and kicking. And while you lay there kicking in your own blood, I said to you, “I want you to remain alive!”
“‘Yanından geçtim, senin kendi kanının içinde kımıldadığını gördüm. Kendi kanının içindeyken yaşa! dedim. Evet, Kendi kanının içindeyken yaşa! dedim.
7 [It was as though] I caused you to grow up, like plants in the field grow; you grew up and became tall and became like [MET] a very beautiful jewel. [It was as though] [MET] your breasts (formed/became large), and your hair became long, although you were still naked [DOU].
Kırda yetişen bir bitki gibi seni geliştirdim. Geliştin, büyüdün, kusursuz bir güzelliğe eriştin. Göğüslerin oluştu, saçların uzadı. Ama çırılçıplaktın.
8 When I saw you several years later, [it was as though] [MET] I saw that you were old enough to have sex [EUP]. So [it was as though] [MET] I spread the corner of my robe over [to symbolize that I would marry you], with the result that you were no longer naked. I solemnly promised [that I would marry you] and made a marriage agreement with you, and you became my wife. That is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say.
“‘Yine yanından geçtim, sana baktım, sevgi çağındı. Giysimin eteğini üzerine serdim, çıplaklığını örttüm. Sana ant içtim, seninle antlaşma yaptım. Egemen RAB böyle diyor. Ve benim oldun.
9 [And then it was as though] [MET] I bathed you and washed the blood from you and put ointment on your body.
“‘Seni yıkadım, üzerindeki kanı temizledim, derine zeytinyağı sürdüm.
10 [It was as though] [MET] I put a fine linen robe on you and gave you other expensive clothes. I put an embroidered dress on you and put leather sandals on your feet.
Sana işlemeli giysiler giydirdim, deriden çarık verdim. Beline ince keten kuşak bağladım, seni pahalı giysilerle örttüm,
11 [It was as though] [MET] I put bracelets on your arms and a necklace around your neck. Those things all had nice jewels fastened to them.
takılarla süsledim. Bileklerine bilezikler, boynuna gerdanlık taktım.
12 I put a gold ring in your nose and fastened earrings to your ears and put a beautiful crown on your head.
Burnuna halka, kulaklarına küpeler, başına görkemli bir taç taktım.
13 So [it was as though] you wore gold and silver ornaments. You had clothes made from fine (linen/white cloth) and other expensive embroidered material/cloth. You ate [bread made from] fine flour, honey, and olive oil. You became very beautiful, like [MET] a queen.
Altınla gümüşle süslendin; giysilerin ince ketenden, pahalı, işlemeli kumaştandı. İnce unla, balla, zeytinyağıyla beslendin. Gitgide güzelleştin, krallığa yaraştın.
14 You were very beautiful, with the result that people in other nations heard about you, because they knew that I, Yahweh the Lord, am the one who had caused you to become very beautiful.
Güzelliğinden ötürü ünün uluslar arasında yayıldı. Çünkü seni görkemimle donattığım için güzelliğin kusursuzdu. Egemen RAB böyle diyor.
15 But [it was as though] [MET] you realized that because people knew that you were very beautiful, you could [earn a lot of money by] becoming a prostitute. [It was as though] you had sex with [EUP] every man who came along, and they all enjoyed your beauty.
“‘Ama sen güzelliğine güvendin, ününü kullanarak fahişelik ettin. Her geçene gönlünü kaptırdın, kendini teslim ettin.
16 [It was as though] you took some of your clothes to make beautifully decorated shrines, and that is where you had sex with those men. Those things should certainly never occur!
Giysilerinden alıp kendine süslü tapınma yerleri yaptın, oralarda fahişelik ettin. Böylesi ne olmuştur, ne de olacaktır.
17 You took the fine gold and silver jewelry that I gave you, and you made male idols for yourself, in order to have sex with them.
Sana verdiğim altın, gümüş süslerden erkek suretleri yaptın, onlarla fahişelik ettin.
18 You took some of your embroidered clothes to put on those idols, and you burned oil and incense in front of them [to honor them].
İşlemeli giysilerini alıp onların üzerine örttün. Onlara zeytinyağımı, buhurumu sundun.
19 And the [bread that was made from] fine flour and the olive oil and honey that I gave to you to eat, you offered to be a fragrant sacrifice to those idols. I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that is what happened.
Yemen için sağladığım yiyeceği –ince unu, zeytinyağını, balı– güzel kokulu bir sunu olarak onlara sundun. Böyle yaptın diyor Egemen RAB.
20 And you even took your sons and daughters who were [as though they were] [MET] my children, and sacrificed them to be food for the idols. That was much worse [RHQ] than your becoming a prostitute.
“‘Bana doğurduğun oğulları, kızları alıp yiyecek olarak putlara kurban ettin. Fahişelik etmen yetmiyormuş gibi,
21 You slaughtered [those who were like] [MET] my children, and offered them to be sacrifices to the gods!
çocuklarımı kesip sunu olarak ateşte putlara kurban ettin.
22 All during the time when you were acting like a prostitute and doing other detestable things, you did not think about the time when [it was as though] you were very young, naked [DOU], lying in your own blood and kicking.
Bütün iğrenç uygulamalarını, fahişeliklerini yaparken gençlik günlerini, çırılçıplak olduğun, kanının içinde kımıldandığın zamanı anımsamadın.
23 So I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that terrible things will happen to you. In addition to all the other wicked things that you did,
“‘Egemen RAB, vay, vay başına diyor! Yaptığın kötülüklere ek olarak,
24 you built a shrine to worship idols in every [city] square/plaza.
kendine fuhuş yuvaları kurdun, bütün meydanlarda yüksek tapınma yerleri yaptın.
25 At the beginning of every street you built a shrine, and showed people your beautiful body, offering it to have sex with every man who walked by, becoming a better known prostitute every day.
Her yolun başına kendin için yüksek tapınma yerleri kurdun, güzelliğini kirlettin, her geçene kendini teslim ettin, fahişeliklerini artırdın.
26 [It was as though] [MET] you had sex with men from Egypt who were eager to have sex with you, men who lived near to Israel. You caused me to become very angry because you became more eager to have sex with more and more of them.
Şehvet düşkünü komşuların Mısırlılar'la fahişelik ettin. Fahişeliklerini artırmakla beni öfkelendirdin.
27 So I punished [IDM] you and caused your enemies to capture some of your country. I enabled your greedy enemies from Philistia to defeat you; and even they were shocked because of your disgraceful behavior.
İşte bu yüzden elimi sana karşı uzattım, yiyecek payını azalttım. Ahlaksız davranışından utanç duyan düşmanların Filist kızları dilediklerini yapsınlar diye seni onlara teslim ettim.
28 [It was as though] you had sex with soldiers from Assyria, too, because you always wanted more sex. And after that, you still were not satisfied.
Asurlular'la da fahişelik ettin, çünkü doymamıştın. Evet, onlarla fahişelik ettin, yine doymadın.
29 So you also had sex [with soldiers from] Babylonia, a country full of merchants/businessmen, but even that did not satisfy you.
Fahişeliğini ticaret diyarı olan Kildan ülkesine dek artırdın, yine de doymadın.
30 I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that when you did all those things, acting like [MET] a bold prostitute, you were showing that you were ready to do anything that you wanted to [IDM].
“‘Bütün bunları yaparken yüreğin ne kadar yıpranmış’ diyor Egemen RAB, ‘Yüzsüz bir fahişe gibi davrandın!
31 When you built shrines to worship idols on every street corner and in every city square/plaza, you were not like a prostitute: Prostitutes charge money, but you refused to take money for what you did.
Her yolun başına fuhuş yuvaları kurarken, bütün meydanlarda yüksek tapınma yerleri yaparken, fahişe gibi bile değildin, ücretini küçümsedin.
32 You are like [MET] a woman who commits adultery: You prefer to [have sex with] strangers rather than with your husband.
“‘Kocasının yerine yabancıları yeğleyen, zina eden bir kadındın!
33 Prostitutes are paid, but [it is as though] you give gifts to all your lovers; you bribe them to come to you from everywhere to have sex with you.
Fahişelere ücret ödenir. Oysa sen bütün oynaşlarına armağanlar dağıttın. Fahişelik etmek için her yandan sana gelsinler diye rüşvet verdin.
34 So although you act like [MET] a prostitute, you are not like other prostitutes: No one needs to request you to have sex [EUP] with them. You are the opposite of other prostitutes; instead of them giving any money to you, you give men money to have sex with you.
Fahişeliğinde öbür kadınlara benzemiyorsun. Çünkü fahişelik edesin diye kimse senin peşine düşmüyor. Ücret ödeyen sensin, kimse sana ücret ödemiyor. Bu yüzden öbürlerine benzemiyorsun.
35 Therefore, [you people of] Jerusalem, who are like a prostitute [MET], listen to what I, Yahweh the Lord, am saying about you!
“‘Bu nedenle, ey fahişe, RAB'bin sözünü dinle!
36 I say that [what you have done is as though] [MET] you took off your clothes and acted like a prostitute and had sex with men who are not your husband. [What I mean is that you have been worshiping] detestable idols, and you have murdered [MTY] your own children to be sacrifices to them.
Egemen RAB şöyle diyor: Yüzsüzlüğün ortaya döküldüğü, oynaşlarınla fahişelik ederken çıplaklığın meydana çıktığı için, bütün iğrenç putların yüzünden, onlara çocuklarının kanını verdiğin için,
37 So [what I am going to do is as though] I will gather those who you think have loved you and those whom you hated. I will gather them around you [to attack you], and [what I will do is as though] I will strip your clothes off you, and they will see you when you are completely naked.
düşüp kalktığın bütün oynaşlarını –sevdiklerini de nefret ettiklerini de– toplayacağım. Sana karşı onları her yandan toplayacak, çıplaklığını onların önüne sereceğim; bütün çıplaklığını görecekler.
38 I will punish you like women who commit adultery and who murder people [MTY] are punished. I will get revenge on you and get rid of you because I am extremely angry with you.
Sana zina eden, kan döken kadınlara verilen cezayı vereceğim. Kanını akıtarak seni öfkemin ve kıskançlığımın öcüne terk edeceğim.
39 I will allow [your enemies who you thought] loved you [IRO] to defeat you, and they will tear down your shrines. [It will be as though] they will strip off your fancy clothes and take away your fine jewelry and cause you to be completely naked [DOU].
Seni oynaşlarının eline teslim edeceğim. Fuhuş yuvalarını yıkacak, yüksek tapınma yerlerini bozacaklar. Üzerindeki giysileri soyacak, güzel mücevherlerini alıp seni çırılçıplak bırakacaklar.
40 They will bring a mob to attack you, and that mob will throw stones at you and cut you to pieces with their swords.
Halkı sana karşı kışkırtacaklar. Seni taşlayacak, kılıçlarıyla delik deşik edecekler.
41 They will burn down your houses and punish you while many women are watching. I will cause your acting like a prostitute and paying your lovers to have sex with you to end.
Evlerini ateşe verecek, seni birçok kadının gözü önünde yargılayacaklar. Fahişeliklerine son vereceğim, artık oynaşlarına ücret ödemeyeceksin.
42 Then I will no longer be angry [DOU] with you. I will stop being jealous [because of your worshiping gods other than me only].
Böylece sana karşı öfkem yatışacak, kıskançlığım dinecek. Susacak, bir daha öfkelenmeyeceğim.
43 You have forgotten [the wonderful things that I did for you] in previous years [MET]. You have caused me to become extremely angry because of all the [evil things] that you have done. In addition to all the other detestable things that you did, you committed many sexual sins. So I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that I will punish you [IDM] for doing those things.
“‘Madem gençlik günlerini anımsamadın, yaptıklarınla beni öfkelendirdin, ben de yaptıklarını senin başına getireceğim. Böyle diyor Egemen RAB. Bu iğrenç uygulamalarına ek olarak ahlaksızlık da ettin.
44 People who [like to] quote proverbs will quote this proverb about you: “[behave] like their mothers [behave].”
“‘Herkes senin için şu deyişi söyleyecek: Annesi nasılsa kızı da öyle.
45 You are like your mother; [it was as though] she detested her husband and her children. You are like your sisters, who also despised their husbands and their children. [It was as though] [MET] your father belonged to the Amor people-group and your mother belonged to the Heth people-group.
Sen kocasından ve çocuklarından tiksinen annenin kızısın; kocalarından ve çocuklarından tiksinen kızkardeşlerinin kızkardeşisin. Annen Hititli, baban Amorlu'ydu.
46 And [it was as though] [MET] your older sister was Samaria, and she and her daughters lived to the north of you, and [it was as though] your younger sister was Sodom, and she and her daughters lived to the south of you.
Kızlarıyla senin kuzeyinde yaşayan Samiriye ablan, kızlarıyla senin güneyinde yaşayan Sodom kızkardeşindir.
47 You not only imitated all [DOU] their detestable behavior, but you quickly became more sinful than they were.
Sen yalnız onların yolunda yürümekle, onların iğrenç uygulamalarına uymakla kalmadın, bütün yaptıklarınla kısa sürede onlardan daha büyük kötülük ettin.
48 I, Yahweh the Lord, solemnly declare that as surely as I am alive, [the people who lived in] [MTY] Sodom and other nearby cities never did the detestable things that you [people in Jerusalem and other places in Judah] have done.
Varlığım hakkı için diyor Egemen RAB, kızkardeşin Sodom'la kızları, kızlarınla senin yaptıklarını asla yapmadılar.
49 These are the sins [the people who lived in] Sodom, who were like your sister [MET]: The people who lived there and in nearby cities were arrogant. In spite of having more food to eat than they needed, they refused to help the poor and needy [DOU] people among them.
“‘Kızkardeşin Sodom'un günahı şuydu: Kendisi de kızları da gururluydu, ekmeğe doymuşlardı, umursamazlardı. Düşküne, yoksula yardım elini uzatmadılar.
50 The people of Sodom and nearby cities [MET] were proud and did detestable things in my presence, so I got rid of them when I saw what they had been doing.
Kendilerini beğenmişlerdi. Önümde iğrenç şeyler yaptılar. Bu nedenle, gördüğün gibi onları önümden süpürüp attım.
51 Also, [the people of] Samaria did not commit half as many sins as you have committed. You have done more disgusting things than they have done. You cause the people of Samaria to appear to be good, compared to you.
Samiriye işlediğin günahın yarısını bile işlemedi. Sen onlardan çok daha iğrenç şeyler yaptın. Yaptığın iğrençliklerle kızkardeşlerini suçsuz çıkardın.
52 Your sins are worse than their sins, so they seem to be less wicked than you are. So I will punish you more than I punished them. As a result, you will be ashamed and disgraced [DOU].
Düşeceğin utanca katlanacaksın. Çünkü kızkardeşlerini haklı gibi gösterdin. İşlediğin günahlar onlarınkinden daha iğrenç olduğundan senin yanında suçsuz kalıyorlar. Bunun için utan ve düşeceğin utanca katlan. Çünkü kızkardeşlerini suçsuz çıkardın!
53 However, [some day] I will [the people of] Sodom and Samaria and the cities near to them [MET] to prosper again. And I will cause you to prosper again, too.
“‘Sodom'la kızlarını, Samiriye'yle kızlarını, onlarla birlikte de seni eski gönencine kavuşturacağım.
54 You will be very ashamed [DOU] of the wicked things that you have done, and that will cause the people of those cities to be encouraged.
Utanca boğulacaksın. Bütün yaptıklarından ötürü kızkardeşlerine avuntu olacak ve utanacaksın.
55 [The people of] Sodom and Samaria will prosper again, and you and the people in nearby cities will prosper also.
Kızkardeşlerin Sodom ve Samiriye ile kızları eski durumlarına dönecekler; kızlarınla sen de öyle.
56 You (sneered at/despised) [the people of] Sodom when you were proud,
Kötülüğün açığa çıkmadan önce, gururlu olduğun günlerde kızkardeşin Sodom'un adını bile anmıyordun. Şimdi sen de Edom kızlarıyla komşuları ve Filist kızlarınca –çevrende seninle alay edenlerce– küçümseniyorsun.
57 before it was revealed that you were very wicked. And now [the people of] Edom and [the people of] Philistia all insult you and despise you.
58 And you are being punished for all your immoral behavior and other detestable things that you do.
Ahlaksızlığının ve yaptığın iğrençliklerin sonuçlarına katlanacaksın. RAB böyle diyor.
59 This is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: I will continue to punish you like you deserve to be punished, because by rejecting the agreement that I made with you, you have despised that solemn agreement that you promised to obey.
“‘Egemen RAB şöyle diyor: Seninle yaptığım antlaşmayı bozarak içtiğin andı küçümsedin. Ben de hak ettiğin biçimde seni cezalandıracağım.
60 But I will not forget the agreement that I made with you long ago [MET], and I will make an agreement with you that will endure forever.
Gençlik günlerinde seninle yaptığım antlaşmayı anımsayacağım. Seninle sonsuza dek kalıcı bir antlaşma yapacağım.
61 Then you will think about what you have done, and you will be ashamed about those things when you welcome [the people of] Sodom and Samaria, cities which are like [MET] older and younger sisters to you people of Jerusalem. I will [put them under your control by] causing them to become like [MET] your daughters, but they will not have the same agreement that I will make with you.
Büyük, küçük kızkardeşlerini yanına aldığında yaptıklarını anımsayacak ve utanacaksın. Seninle yaptığım antlaşmada olmadığı halde onları kızların olsunlar diye sana vereceğim.
62 I will establish my agreement with you, and you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
Seninle yeniden antlaşma yapacağım, benim RAB olduğumu anlayacaksın.
63 Then when I have forgiven you for all your sins, you will think about all the sins that you committed and you will be ashamed, and you will never again [boast about them], because you will be humiliated.’”
Bütün yaptıklarını bağışladığımda, anımsayacak ve utanacaksın. Utancından bir daha ağzını açmayacaksın. Egemen RAB böyle diyor.’”
