< Ezekiel 5 >

1 “Then you, son of man, take a sharp sword as a barber's razor for yourself, and pass the razor over your head and your beard, then take scales to weigh and divide your hair.
TUHAN berkata, "Hai manusia fana, ambillah pedang yang tajam dan pakailah itu untuk mencukur habis janggut dan rambutmu. Kemudian timbanglah rambut itu pada timbangan lalu bagilah menjadi tiga bagian.
2 Burn a third of it with fire in the midst of the city when the days of the siege are completed, and take a third of the hair and strike it with the sword all around the city. Then scatter a third of it to the wind, and I will draw out a sword to chase after the people.
Sepertiga harus kaubakar di tengah-tengah kota itu setelah pengepungan berakhir. Sepertiga lagi harus kaubacoki dengan pedangmu sambil mengelilingi kota itu. Dan sepertiga yang terakhir harus kauhamburkan ke udara, lalu Aku akan memburunya dengan pedang-Ku.
3 But take a small number of hairs from them and tie them into the folds of your robe.
Tinggalkanlah sedikit dari rambut itu dan bungkuslah dalam lipatan jubahmu.
4 Then take more of the hair and throw it into the midst of the fire; and burn it in the fire; from there a fire will go out to all the house of Israel.”
Kemudian ambil sedikit lagi dari rambut itu, lemparkanlah ke dalam api dan biarkan hangus. Dari situ api akan menjalar ke seluruh bangsa Israel."
5 The Lord Yahweh says this, “This is Jerusalem in the midst of the nations, where I have placed her, and where I have surrounded her with other lands.
TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi berkata, "Lihat, inilah Yerusalem. Kota ini Kutempatkan di pusat dunia, dengan negara-negara lain di sekelilingnya.
6 But she has in wickedness rejected my decrees more than the nations have, and my statutes more than the countries that surround her. The people have rejected my judgments and have not walked in my statutes.”
Tetapi Yerusalem telah menolak perintah-Ku dan ternyata lebih jahat daripada bangsa-bangsa lain, bahkan lebih tidak taat daripada negara-negara di sekelilingnya. Yerusalem melanggar perintah-perintah-Ku dan tak mau mentaati hukum-hukum-Ku."
7 Therefore the Lord Yahweh says this, “Because you are more troublesome than the nations that surround you and have not walked in my statutes or acted according to my decrees, or even acted according to the decrees of the nations that surround you,”
TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi berkata, "Hai Yerusalem, dengarlah! Engkau tidak mentaati perintah-perintah-Ku dan hukum-hukum-Ku; engkau lebih membangkang daripada bangsa-bangsa lain di sekelilingmu, dan telah mengikuti adat-istiadat bangsa-bangsa itu.
8 therefore the Lord Yahweh says this, “Behold! I myself will act against you. I will execute judgments within your midst for the nations to see.
Maka Aku, TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi, menyatakan bahwa Aku adalah musuhmu. Engkau akan Kuhukum di hadapan bangsa-bangsa lain.
9 I will do to you what I have not done and the like of which I will not do again, because of all your disgusting actions.
Karena segala perbuatanmu yang Kubenci, pendudukmu akan Kuhukum sehebat yang belum pernah Kulakukan dan tak akan Kulakukan lagi.
10 Therefore fathers will eat the children in your midst, and sons will eat their fathers, since I will execute judgment on you and scatter to every direction all of you who are left.
Orang tua akan memakan anaknya sendiri dan anak akan memakan orang tuanya. Demikianlah mereka akan Kuhukum, dan yang masih hidup Kuceraiberaikan ke segala jurusan.
11 Therefore, as I live—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—it is certainly because you have defiled my sanctuary with all your hateful things and with all your disgusting deeds, that I myself will reduce you in number; my eye will not have pity on you, and I will not spare you.
Aku adalah Allah yang hidup, TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi, dan inilah perkataan-Ku: Karena engkau telah mencemarkan Rumah-Ku dengan segala perbuatanmu yang jahat dan menjijikkan, Aku akan menghancurkan engkau tanpa ampun.
12 A third of you will die by plague, and they will be consumed by famine in your midst. A third will fall by the sword surrounding you. Then I will scatter a third in every direction, and draw out a sword to chase after them as well.
Sepertiga dari pendudukmu akan mati karena wabah penyakit serta bencana kelaparan yang melanda kota. Sepertiga akan dibantai dengan pedang di luar kota, dan sepertiga lagi akan Kuhamburkan ke segala jurusan dan akan Kukejar-kejar dengan pedang.
13 Then my wrath will be completed, and I will cause my fury toward them to rest. I will be satisfied, and they will know that I, Yahweh, have spoken in my wrath when I have completed my fury against them.
Engkau akan merasakan kedahsyatan amarah dan amukan-Ku sampai Aku puas. Setelah semua itu terjadi, engkau akan yakin bahwa Aku, TUHAN, telah berbicara kepadamu karena Aku murka atas ketidaksetiaanmu.
14 I will make you a desolation and a reproach to the nations that surround you in the sight of everyone who passes by.
Engkau akan menjadi puing-puing belaka dan bangsa-bangsa di sekelilingmu akan mengejek engkau; setiap orang yang lewat akan menjauhi engkau.
15 So Jerusalem will become something for other people to condemn and to mock, a warning and a horror to the nations that surround you. I will execute judgments against you in wrath and fury, and with a furious rebuke—I, Yahweh have declared this!
Bila Aku marah dan geram kepadamu serta menghukummu, semua bangsa di sekelilingmu akan merasa ngeri. Mereka akan mengejekmu dan muak melihatmu.
16 I will send out harsh arrows of famine against you that will become the means with which I will destroy you. For I will increase the famine on you and break your staff of bread.
Aku akan memusnahkan persediaan makananmu dan membiarkan pendudukmu kelaparan. Mereka akan mengalami pedihnya rasa lapar, seperti anak panah tajam yang menembus dan membinasakan engkau.
17 I will send a famine and disasters against you so you will be childless. Plague and blood will pass through you, and I will bring a sword against you—I, Yahweh, have declared this.”
Selain bencana kelaparan akan Kudatangkan juga wabah penyakit, kekejaman dan perang untuk membunuh pendudukmu, dan binatang-binatang buas untuk membunuh anak-anak mereka. Aku, TUHAN, telah berbicara."
