< Yehezkiel 13 >
1 TUHAN berkata kepadaku,
Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
2 "Hai manusia fana, kecamlah nabi-nabi Israel yang mengucapkan ramalan karangannya sendiri. Suruhlah mereka mendengarkan perkataan-Ku."
“You human, [a warning] against the prophets in Israel who are prophesying. Some of them are prophesying things that they themselves have imagined/thought. Say to them: 'Listen to what Yahweh says!
3 TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi berkata, "Celakalah nabi-nabi yang bodoh itu! Ilhamnya didapatnya dari khayalannya sendiri dan penglihatannya palsu belaka.
He says, “Terrible things will happen to those wicked prophets who proclaim their own ideas and have not seen [visions from me].
4 Hai Israel, nabi-nabimu itu tak berguna, sama seperti serigala-serigala yang hidup di tengah-tengah puing kota.
You Israeli people, your prophets [as useless] as [SIM] jackals/wolves [that only dig] through the [of a city].
5 Mereka tidak menjaga tempat-tempat di mana tembok-temboknya runtuh, dan juga tidak memperbaiki tembok-tembok itu. Jadi, Israel tak dapat dipertahankan apabila pecah perang pada hari Aku, TUHAN datang menghukum.
Those prophets have not helped you Israeli people [MTY] to repair the places where [city] walls have (been broken/crumbled). That needs to be done in order that the walls will be strong at the time when I, Yahweh, [allow your enemies] to attack you.
6 Penglihatan-penglihatan mereka palsu dan ramalan-ramalan mereka hanyalah dusta. Mereka mengaku membawa pesan dari Aku, padahal Aku tak pernah mengutus mereka. Bagaimana mungkin mereka mengharapkan ramalan mereka itu akan terjadi?
The visions and prophecies of those prophets are false. They say, 'Yahweh told me this,' but I have not sent [to you to be my prophets]. But they expect that what they prophesy will truly happen!
7 Aku, TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi berkata kepada mereka, 'Penglihatan-penglihatan itu palsu dan ramalan-ramalanmu itu dusta. Kamu berkata bahwa semua itu adalah pesan-Ku, padahal Aku tak pernah berbicara kepadamu! Karena itu Aku akan menjadi lawanmu.
They say that they have seen visions, but those visions are false, and the things that they prophesy are lies [RHQ]. They say, 'Yahweh told me this,' but I have told them nothing!”
Therefore, this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: “Because you prophets have said what is false, and because your visions are lies, I am opposed to you.
9 Aku akan menghukum kamu, hai nabi-nabi yang mengucapkan ramalan dusta dan mengkhayalkan penglihatan-penglihatan! Kamu tak boleh lagi ikut memberi keputusan di dalam sidang-sidang umat-Ku. Nama-namamu akan dicoret dari daftar marga Israel, dan kamu tak akan pulang lagi ke tanah airmu. Maka tahulah kamu bahwa Akulah TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi.
I will strike/punish all you prophets who falsely say that you have seen visions and prophesy things that are lies. You will not have any place among my people, your names will not be listed in the records of the Israeli people, and you will never return to Israel. Then you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
10 Hai nabi-nabi palsu! Kamu telah menyesatkan umat-Ku dengan mengatakan bahwa segalanya aman dan beres. Padahal sama sekali tidak! Umat-Ku telah mendirikan tembok dengan batu bata yang longgar pemasangannya, kemudian kamu datang dan mengapurnya.
They deceive my people, saying “Things will go well for us,” when things will not go well. [It as though] [MET] the people have built a shaky/weak wall, and the prophets cover it with (whitewash/white paint) [to make people think that it is a very strong wall].
11 Hai, nabi-nabi palsu, tembokmu akan runtuh. Aku akan menurunkan hujan lebat. Tembok itu akan dilanda angin topan dan ditimpa hujan es
So, tell those prophets who cover the wall with whitewash that the wall will surely fall down. It will rain very hard. I will send big hailstones to fall. Very strong winds will blow against it.
12 sehingga roboh, dan setiap orang akan bertanya apa gunanya tembok itu dikapur.'"
When the wall falls down, the people will certainly say to those prophets, “The white paint certainly did not [RHQ] make the wall strong!”
13 TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi berkata, "Dalam kemarahan-Ku, Aku akan mendatangkan angin topan, hujan lebat dan hujan es untuk menghancurkan tembok itu.
So this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: “Because I am very angry with you, [I will send enemy armies to destroy Jerusalem. It will be as though] [MET] I will send a very strong wind and hailstones and very heavy rains to destroy you.”
14 Aku berniat untuk merubuhkan tembok yang kamu kapur itu, mengobrak-abriknya sehingga tinggal pondamennya saja. Tembok itu akan menimpa dan membunuh kamu semua. Maka tahulah kamu bahwa Akulah TUHAN.
[The false prophecies of your prophets are like] [MET] a wall that they have covered with whitewash, but I will break it down, and shatter it down to the ground, with the result that people can see its foundations. When the wall collapses, you also will be killed, and everyone will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
15 Tembok itu dan kamu yang telah mengapurnya akan merasakan hebatnya amarah-Ku. Kemudian akan Kukatakan kepadamu bahwa tembok itu telah hilang lenyap, sama seperti kamu yang mengapurnya,
In that way I will show that I am very angry [the people who built] the wall and those who covered it with (whitewash/white paint). Then I will say to you, “The wall is destroyed/gone, and those prophets who put (whitewash/white paint) on it have been killed.”
16 hai nabi-nabi palsu! Kamu meramalkan bahwa Yerusalem aman dan beres, padahal sama sekali tidak!" Begitulah kata TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi.
Those are the prophets who prophesied that things would go well for the people in Jerusalem, when things would not go well for them.
17 TUHAN berkata, "Sekarang, hai manusia fana, perhatikanlah wanita-wanita yang berlagak nabiah di antara bangsamu. Kecamlah mereka,
So, you human, show that you are angry with [IDM] the women of Jerusalem who prophesy things that they themselves have imagined.
18 dan sampaikanlah apa yang Aku, TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi katakan kepada mereka: 'Celakalah kamu! Kamu membuat untuk semua orang gelang-gelang jimat dan kerudung-kerudung sakti supaya orang yang memakainya dapat menguasai hidup orang lain. Kamu ingin berkuasa atas hidup mati umat-Ku, dan kuasa itu kamu pakai demi keuntunganmu sendiri.
Tell them, “This is what Yahweh the Lord says: Terrible things will happen to you women who fasten magic charms on your wrists and make veils of various sizes to put on your heads in order to deceive the people. [You think that] [RHQ] you will deceive [by telling them that you know what will happen in the future], and that you will save your own lives.
19 Kamu telah menghina Aku di depan umat-Ku hanya untuk mendapat beberapa genggam jelai dan beberapa potong roti. Orang-orang yang tak bersalah, kamu bunuh sedangkan orang-orang yang patut mati kamu biarkan hidup. Lalu kamu mendustai umat-Ku dan mereka percaya kepadamu.'"
You dishonored [by telling lies] in order to get from my people a few handfuls of barley and a few pieces of bread. My people listen to lies; and you women who are lying to them have caused to be killed people who did not deserve to die and have (spared/allowed to remain alive) those who should not continue to live.”
20 TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi berkata kepada wanita-wanita yang berlagak nabiah itu, "Aku benci melihat gelang-gelang jimat yang kamu pakai untuk menguasai hidup mati umat-Ku. Gelang-gelang itu akan Kurenggut dari pergelanganmu, dan orang-orang yang kamu kuasai akan Kubebaskan.
Therefore, this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, [to those women]: “I detest your magic charms by which you deceive people like [SIM] [people trap] birds. I will tear those charms off your wrists, and I will cause the people whom you have deceived to no longer be deceived by you.
21 Kerudung-kerudung saktimu akan Kusobek, dan umat-Ku akan Kuhindarkan dari pengaruh jahatmu untuk selama-lamanya. Maka tahulah kamu bahwa Akulah TUHAN.
I will also tear off your veils and rescue my people from continuing to be deceived by you, and they will no longer be under your control. Then you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
22 Orang-orang baik yang tidak mau Kuapa-apakan, kamu buat kecil hati dengan kebohonganmu. Orang-orang jahat kamu buat besar hati supaya tetap berdosa dan tidak diselamatkan.
You have discouraged righteous people by telling them lies when I did not [do things to] cause them to be sad. And you have encouraged wicked people to not turn away from their wicked behavior; if they had done that, they would have continued to remain alive.
23 Sekarang berakhirlah penglihatan-penglihatan palsu dan ramalan-ramalan dustamu. Kuselamatkan umat-Ku dari pengaruh jahatmu. Maka tahulah kamu bahwa Akulah TUHAN."
Therefore, you will no longer falsely say that you have seen visions or tell people what will happen in the future [in order to please them]. I will rescue my people from being deceived by you. And then you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].” '”
