Ezekiel 21
1 Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
Datanglah firman TUHAN kepadaku:
2 “You human, turn toward Jerusalem. Preach about what will happen to the temple [there]. Preach about what will happen to the Israeli people.
"Hai anak manusia, tujukanlah mukamu ke Yerusalem dan ucapkanlah banyak tegoran terhadap tempat kudusnya dan bernubuatlah melawan tanah Israel.
3 Say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh says: I am opposed to you.
Katakanlah kepada tanah Israel: Beginilah firman TUHAN: Lihat, Aku akan menjadi lawanmu dan akan mencabut pedang-Ku dari sarungnya dan melenyapkan dari tengah-tengahmu orang benar dan orang fasik.
4 [what I will do to you will be as though] [MET] I will pull my sword from its sheath [and strike you]. I will kill everyone, including righteous people and wicked people [DOU]. I will get rid of everyone, from the south to the north.
Oleh karena Aku hendak melenyapkan dari tengah-tengahmu orang benar dan orang fasik, maka pedang-Ku akan terhunus dari sarungnya terhadap semua manusia dari selatan sampai utara.
5 Then everyone will know [it is as though] I, Yahweh, have struck people with my sword, and I will not put it back in its sheath again.’
Dan semua manusia akan mengetahui bahwa Aku, TUHAN, mencabut pedang-Ku dari sarungnya, sehingga tidak akan kembali lagi ke situ.
6 Therefore, you human, groan! Groan in front of the Israeli people very sadly and sorrowfully [IDM, DOU].
Dan engkau anak manusia, mengeranglah! Mengeranglah di hadapan mereka seperti seorang yang tulang pinggangnya patah dan yang berada dalam kesengsaraan yang pahit.
7 And when they ask you, ‘Why are you groaning?’ tell them, ‘Because of the news that they soon will hear. Everyone will be very fearful [IDM], and their knees will become as weak as [SIM] water. [A great disaster] will soon occur. That is what Yahweh the Lord is promising.’”
Dan kalau mereka bertanya kepadamu: Mengapa engkau mengeluh? jawablah: Karena suatu berita! Kalau berita itu sudah tersiar, setiap hati akan menjadi tawar dan semua tangan menjadi lemah lesu, segala semangat menghilang dan semua orang terkencing ketakutan. Sungguh, pasti datang dan terjadi! demikianlah firman Tuhan ALLAH."
8 Yahweh gave me another message. [He said],
Kemudian datanglah firman TUHAN kepadaku:
9 “You human, prophesy and say [to them], ‘This is what Yahweh says: I have sharpened my sword and polished it.
"Hai anak manusia, bernubuatlah dan katakan: Beginilah firman TUHAN: Pedang! Pedang! Yang sudah diasah dan juga digosok!
10 It is sharpened in order that I can [many people with it]; it is polished so that it will flash like lightning. The people of Judah will not [their being punished like this], but they did not repent [I only struck them] with a stick.
Diasah untuk menumpahkan darah dan digosok supaya mengkilap seperti petir. Apakah kita akan bersukacita? --Tongkat anakku menghina segala macam kayu. --
11 A sword should be polished, and be grasped [in someone’s hand]. It should be sharpened and polished, ready for someone to use it to kill people.
Pedang itu diberikan supaya digosok, supaya sedia dipergunakan; pedang itu diasah dan digosok, supaya diberikan ke tangan si pembunuh.
12 [So, ] you human, cry and wail, because I will use my sword to kill my people, including the leaders of Israel. They and all the other people, my people, will be killed by swords, so beat your [to show that you are sad].
Berserulah dan merataplah, hai anak manusia! Sebab pedang itu ditujukan melawan umat-Ku, ditujukan melawan semua pemimpin Israel; mereka dan umat-Ku sama-sama dibiarkan dimakan pedang. Oleh sebab itu tepuklah pinggangmu sebagai tanda perkabungan.
13 I am about to test my people, and the kings [MTY] of Judah will not escape being punished. That is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say.
Sebab percobaan datang dan tidak suatupun yang dapat tahan, demikianlah firman Tuhan ALLAH.
14 So, you human, prophesy; clap your [to show that you are very happy about what is going to happen]. My sword will strike them again and again; it is a sword for slaughtering many people, while I attack them from every side.
Dan engkau anak manusia, bernubuatlah dan tepuklah tanganmu, biarlah pedang itu menjadi dua kali lipat, tiga kali lipat. Itu pedang pembunuh, pedang untuk pembunuhan besar-besaran, yang berkeliling menghabiskan mereka.
15 In order that people will be very much afraid [IDM] and many people will be killed, I have [soldiers holding] my swords at every [city] gate, ready to slaughter people. Those swords will flash like lightning, as the [soldiers] grasp them to slaughter people.
Supaya hati mereka hancur dan yang jatuh berebahan bertambah-tambah di tiap pintu gerbang mereka, Aku memerintahkan penumpahan darah dengan pedang itu. Aduh, pedang itu dibuat menyamai petir dan digosok untuk menumpahkan darah.
16 Their swords [APO] will slash to the right and [then] to the left, whichever way they turn the blades.
Pancung yang di kanan dan di kiri, ke mana saja matamu menetak.
17 Then I will clap my [triumphantly]; and [then] I will no longer be angry. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.’”
Dan Aku juga akan bertepuk tangan dan hati-Ku yang panas menjadi tenang kembali. Aku, TUHAN, yang mengatakannya."
18 Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
Lalu datanglah firman TUHAN kepadaku:
19 “You human, [a map], and on it mark two roads for the King of Babylonia to march [along with his army, carrying] their swords. When they depart from their country, they will come to a sign post where the road divides.
"Hai engkau anak manusia, gambarlah dua jalan yang akan dilalui oleh pedang raja Babel; keduanya mulai dari satu negeri. Buatlah sebuah papan penunjuk jalan pada awal jalan yang menuju ke masing-masing kota.
20 [If they continue on the one road, ] they will attack [city], the capital of the Ammon people-group. [If they continue on the other road, ] they will come to Judah and to Jerusalem, [a city] with walls around it.
Gambarlah dari jalan mana pedang itu datang melawan Raba, ibukota bani Amon dan melawan Yehuda, yang bentengnya ada di Yerusalem.
21 [When the army of] Babylonia comes to where the road divides, [they will stop], and the king will perform magic rituals [to decide which road to go on]. He will throw arrows; [then] consult his [about which road to go on], and he will (examine/look at) the [of a sheep].
Sebab raja Babel berdiri pada persimpangan jalan itu, pada awal kedua jalan itu untuk melakukan tenungan; ia mengocok panah, meminta petunjuk dari terafim dan menilik hati binatang.
22 With his right hand he will pick up the arrow marked ‘Jerusalem’. He will [command his soldiers to go to Jerusalem. When they arrive there, they] will set up (rams/devices to [down the walls], ) and [then] the king will give the command for them to slaughter [the people]. They will shout [a battle-cry], and they will set up the rams against the [city] gates. They will build a dirt ramp [against the walls around the city], and set up things to bash those walls.
Ke dalam tangan kanannya terjatuh panah tenungan mengenai Yerusalem: supaya diperdengarkannya suara orang yang membunuh dan menyerukan pekik pertempuran, supaya menyusun alat-alat pendobrak pintu gerbang dan menimbun tanah menjadi tembok pengepungan dan mendirikan benteng pengepungan.
23 The [in Jerusalem] who had promised [to be loyal to the King of Babylonia will think that those rituals must be wrong. They will think that his army should not be attacking them]. But he will remind them of the sins [MTY] that they had committed, [his army] will capture them.
Tetapi bagi mereka, itu adalah tenungan yang menipu, walaupun mereka mengangkat sumpah yang muluk-muluk; tetapi ia mengingat kesalahan mereka, sehingga mereka ditangkap.
24 Therefore, [tell the Israeli people that] this is what Yahweh the Lord says: ‘You people have allowed everyone to see that you are openly [against the King of Babylonia], and by doing that you have shown that everything that you do is sinful. Therefore you will be captured and [to Babylonia].’
Oleh sebab itu, beginilah firman Tuhan ALLAH: Oleh karena kamu membuat kesalahanmu itu teringat kembali dengan tersingkapnya pelanggaranmu, sehingga kentara dosa-dosamu dalam segala perbuatanmu, oleh karena kamu menjadi teringat kembali, kamu akan ditangkap dengan kekerasan.
25 Also, say, ‘You very wicked [DOU] king of Israel, it is your [to die]. It is the time for you to be punished.’
Dan hai engkau, raja Israel, orang fasik yang durhaka, yang saatmu sudah tiba untuk penghakiman terakhir,
26 And this is what Yahweh the Lord says [to you soldiers from Babylonia]: ‘Take off [the king’s] turban and his crown, because now things will be different than they were [before]. [in Jerusalem] who had no authority will now be given authority, and those who had authority will have their authority taken from them.
beginilah firman Tuhan ALLAH: Jauhkanlah serbanmu dan buangkanlah mahkotamu! Tiada yang tetap seperti keadaannya sekarang. Yang rendah harus ditinggikan, yang tinggi harus direndahkan.
27 [Jerusalem] will be completely ruined. I will cause it to be ruined, and it will not be rebuilt/restored until the king to whom the city truly belongs comes; I will give it to [to rule it].’”
Puing, puing, puing akan Kujadikan dia! Inipun tidak akan tetap. Sampai ia datang yang berhak atasnya, dan kepadanya akan Kuberikan itu."
28 “And, you human, prophesy and say [this]: 'This is what Yahweh the Lord says about the Ammon people-group, and about what they have said to insult [Israel]: [“The King of Babylon says, ] ‘[My soldiers have] swords’ [APO]; they have pulled out those swords to slaughter many people. They have polished them in order to kill people, and to make those swords flash like lightning.
"Dan engkau anak manusia, bernubuatlah dan katakan: Beginilah firman Tuhan ALLAH mengenai bani Amon dan cercaan mereka; katakanlah: Pedang, pedang sudah tercabut untuk menumpahkan darah, digosok untuk memusnahkan, dan supaya mengkilap seperti petir--
29 [Your prophets] have given you false visions about [what will happen to] you, and they have given you messages that are not true. So swords will strike the necks of those wicked people; it is time for them to be killed; it is the day when they will be [for their sins].
sedang orang melihat penglihatan-penglihatan yang menipu bagimu dan memberi tenungan-tenungan bohong kepadamu--untuk ditetakkan ke leher orang-orang fasik yang durhaka, yang saatnya sudah tiba untuk penghakiman terakhir.
30 You must put your swords back in their sheaths [because the days for you to slaughter your enemies are ended]. I will judge those people in the country where they were born.
Kembalikanlah itu ke sarungnya! Di tempat penciptaanmu dan di negeri asalmu Aku akan menghukum engkau.
31 I will pour out my punishment [MTY] on them. Because I am very angry with them, my breath on them will scorch them [like] fire [MET]. I will allow brutal men to capture them, men who are experts in killing people.
Aku akan mencurahkan geram-Ku atasmu dan menyemburkan api murka-Ku kepadamu dan menyerahkan engkau ke dalam tangan orang-orang dungu, yang menimbulkan kemusnahan.
32 You will be [like] fuel [MET] [that is burned] in a fire. Your blood will be shed in your own land. No one will remember you any more. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.” '”
Engkau menjadi makanan api, darahmu akan tertumpah di tengah-tengah tanah itu, dan engkau tidak akan diingat-ingat lagi, sebab Aku, TUHAN, yang mengatakannya."
