Ezekiel 5
1 “Also, you human, [when you start doing those things, ] take a sharp sword and use it like [SIM] a razor to shave your head and your beard. Then put the hair that you shaved off on scales, and divide the [into three equal parts].
Dan engkau, anak manusia, ambillah sebilah pedang yang tajam dan pakailah itu sebagai pisau cukur tukang pangkas; cukurlah rambutmu dan janggutmu dengan itu; lalu ambillah sebuah timbangan dan bagi-bagilah rambutmu.
2 When the time during [you will symbolize that] the city will be [by enemy troops] ends, put a third of the hair inside [drawing of the] city and burn it. Take another third of the hair, [scatter it] all [the drawing of] the city, and then strike it with your sword. That will symbolize that I will strike the people of Jerusalem [their enemies’] swords. Then allow the wind to scatter the other third of the hair. That will symbolize [even if they flee from the city], I will [cause their enemies to] pursue them and attack them with swords.
Sepertiga harus kaubakar dengan api di tengah-tengah kota itu sesudah berakhir waktu pengepungannya; sepertiga harus kauambil dan tetaklah dengan pedang itu sekelilingnya; dan sepertiga lagi hamburkanlah ke dalam angin, dan Aku akan menghunus pedang dari belakang mereka.
3 Take a few of your hairs and tuck them into the folds of your robe.
Engkau harus mengambil sedikit dari rambut itu dan bungkus di dalam punca kainmu.
4 Then take a few of those hairs, throw them into the fire, and burn them up. [That will symbolize that] a fire will spread from Jerusalem [and destroy things] throughout Israel.
Dan sekali lagi engkau harus mengambil dari padanya, buangkan ke dalam api dan hanguskan dia di sana; dari sana akan keluar api untuk memakan seluruh kaum Israel. Dan berkatalah kepada mereka:
5 This is what [I, ] Yahweh the Lord, say: ‘[drawing will represent] Jerusalem, [the city which] I have set in the center of the nations, with [other] countries around it.
Beginilah firman Tuhan ALLAH: Inilah Yerusalem! Di tengah-tengah bangsa-bangsa Kutempatkan dia dan sekelilingnya ada negeri-negeri mereka.
6 But the wicked people of Jerusalem rebelled against [obeying] my commands, and [they show that] they are more wicked than the people of the surrounding countries. They rejected my laws and refused to obey my commands.’
Ia sudah memberontak terhadap peraturan-peraturan-Ku lebih jahat dari pada bangsa-bangsa dan terhadap ketetapan-ketetapan-Ku lebih jahat dari negeri-negeri yang di sekitarnya; karena mereka menolak peraturan-peraturan-Ku dan kelakuan mereka tidak selaras dengan ketetapan-ketetapan-Ku.
7 Therefore, this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: ‘You people of Jerusalem have been more rebellious than the people of the nations around you; you have not obeyed any of my laws [DOU]. You have not even obeyed the laws of the nations around you!’
Sebab itu beginilah firman Tuhan ALLAH: Oleh karena engkau lebih jahat dari pada bangsa-bangsa yang di sekitarmu dan kelakuanmu tidak selaras dengan ketetapan-ketetapan-Ku dan engkau tidak melakukan peraturan-peraturan-Ku, bahkan engkau melakukan peraturan-peraturan bangsa-bangsa yang di sekitarmu,
8 Therefore, this is [I, ] Yahweh the Lord, say: ‘I am opposed to [you people of] Jerusalem. I will punish you, and the [people of other] nations will see it happen.
sebab itu beginilah firman Tuhan ALLAH: Lihat, Aku, ya Aku sendiri akan menjadi lawanmu dan Aku akan menjatuhkan hukuman kepadamu di hadapan bangsa-bangsa.
9 Because of all your detestable [idols], I will punish [people of Jerusalem] like I have never done before and will never do again.
Oleh karena segala perbuatanmu yang keji akan Kuperbuat terhadapmu yang belum pernah Kuperbuat dan yang tidak pernah lagi akan Kuperbuat.
10 As a result, parents among you will eat their children, and children will eat their [because there will be nothing else to eat]. I will punish you [severely], and I will cause those who will still be alive to be scattered in all directions [IDM].’
Sebab itu di tengah-tengahmu ayah-ayah akan memakan anak-anaknya dan anak-anak memakan ayahnya dan Aku akan menjatuhkan hukuman kepadamu, sedang semua yang masih tinggal lagi dari padamu akan Kuhamburkan ke semua penjuru angin.
11 Therefore, I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that as surely as I am alive, because you have polluted my temple with all your disgusting [statues of idols] and by the other detestable things that you do, I will no longer bless you. I will not pity [you] or act mercifully [toward you].
Sebab itu, demi Aku yang hidup, demikianlah firman Tuhan ALLAH, sesungguhnya, oleh karena engkau menajiskan tempat kudus-Ku dengan segala dewamu yang menjijikkan dan dengan segala perbuatanmu yang keji, Aku sendiri akan meruntuhkan engkau; Aku tidak akan merasa sayang dan tidak akan kenal belas kasihan.
12 One-third of your people will die inside the city because of the plagues [they will experience] or by (famine/lack of food). One-third of your people will be killed [your enemies’] swords outside the city. And one-third I will cause to be scattered in all directions; [your enemies] will [still] pursue you and kill you with their swords.
Sepertiga dari padamu akan mati kena sampar dan mati kelaparan di tengah-tengahmu; sepertiga akan tewas dimakan pedang di sekitarmu; dan sepertiga lagi akan Kuhamburkan ke semua mata angin dan Aku akan menghunus pedang dari belakang mereka.
13 Then I will no longer be angry with you; I will stop punishing [MTY] you after I have gotten revenge on you. And when I stop punishing you, you will know that I, Yahweh, have spoken to you because I have been very strongly concerned [what you have done].
Aku akan melampiaskan murka-Ku kepada mereka, sehingga hati-Ku yang panas tenang kembali dan Aku merasa puas; dan mereka akan mengetahui, bahwa Akulah TUHAN yang mengatakannya di dalam cemburu-Ku, tatkala Aku melampiaskan amarah-Ku kepada mereka.
14 I will cause your [city] to be a ruins, with the result that [people of other] nations that are around you will pass by and see it and sneer at you.
Aku akan membuat engkau menjadi reruntuhan dan buah celaan di antara bangsa-bangsa yang di sekitarmu di hadapan semua orang yang lintas dari padamu.
15 They will make fun of you and taunt you. When I severely punish you because of my being very angry [DOU] with you, they will be horrified and they will be warned. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.
Engkau akan menjadi buah celaan dan cercaan, menjadi peringatan dan suatu kengerian bagi bangsa-bangsa yang di sekitarmu, tatkala Aku menjatuhkan hukuman kepadamu di dalam kemurkaan dan kemarahan dan di dalam penghajaran-penghajaran kemarahan--Aku, TUHAN, yang mengatakannya--
16 When I cut off your food supply and cause there to be more famine, [it will be as though] [MET] I am shooting at you with my arrows that will destroy you.
tatkala Aku mendatangkan atasmu kelaparan yang dahsyat, yang membinasakan, dan Aku mendatangkannya untuk membinasakan kamu, tatkala Aku memperdahsyat bencana kelaparan atasmu dan memusnahkan persediaan makananmu.
17 I will cause you to experience a famine, and I will send wild beasts to attack you and your children, and [all] your children will be killed. You will experience plagues and wars, and I will cause [your enemies] to attack you with their swords. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.”
Aku akan mendatangkan kelaparan atasmu dan binatang-binatang buas di tengah-tengahmu, yang akan memunahkan anak-anakmu; sampar akan berkecamuk dan darah akan mengalir di tengah-tengahmu dan Aku akan mendatangkan pedang atasmu, Aku, TUHAN, yang mengatakannya."
