Yehezkiel 16
1 TUHAN berbicara lagi kepadaku,
Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
2 "Hai manusia fana, tunjukkanlah kepada Yerusalem perbuatan-perbuatan keji yang telah dilakukannya."
“You human, cause the people of Jerusalem to think about their detestable behavior.
3 TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi menyuruh aku menyampaikan pesan ini kepada Yerusalem, "Hai Yerusalem, engkau lahir di tanah Kanaan. Ayahmu orang Amori dan ibumu orang Het.
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.
4 Ketika engkau lahir tak ada yang memotong tali pusatmu, atau memandikan engkau, atau memborehimu dengan garam, atau menyelimutimu dengan kain.
[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].
5 Tak seorang pun merasa kasihan kepadamu sehingga mau melakukan hal-hal itu bagimu. Ketika engkau lahir, tak ada yang sayang kepadamu, malahan engkau dibuang di ladang.
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}.
6 Kemudian lewatlah Aku dan melihat engkau menggeliat dalam genangan darahmu, tetapi Aku tak membiarkan engkau mati.
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!”
7 Kuambil air lalu Kucuci darah dari tubuhmu. Kugosok kulitmu dengan minyak zaitun. Kubesarkan engkau seperti tanaman yang subur. Engkau tumbuh pesat, sehat dan semampai, serta menjadi seorang wanita muda. Buah dadamu mulai montok dan rambutmu panjang, tetapi engkau telanjang. Ketika Aku lewat lagi, Kulihat bahwa telah tiba waktumu untuk bercinta. Kubentangkan jubah-Ku pada tubuhmu yang telanjang, dan Kujanjikan cinta-Ku padamu. Ya, Kuikat janji perkawinan denganmu, dan engkau menjadi milik-Ku. Aku, TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi telah berbicara.
[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].
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.
[And then it was as though] [MET] I bathed you and washed the blood from you and put ointment on your body.
10 Kemudian Kupakaikan kepadamu gaun yang bersulam, sepatu dari kulit yang terhalus, ikat kepala dari kain linen dan jubah sutra.
[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.
11 Kurias engkau dengan permata, kalung dan gelang-gelang.
[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.
12 Kuberikan kepadamu cincin hidung, anting-anting dan mahkota yang indah.
I put a gold ring in your nose and fastened earrings to your ears and put a beautiful crown on your head.
13 Demikianlah engkau berhiaskan emas dan perak; pakaianmu terbuat dari kain linen dan sutra bersulam. Engkau boleh makan roti dari terigu yang terbaik, dengan madu dan minyak zaitun. Kecantikanmu sungguh luar biasa dan engkau menjadi ratu.
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.
14 Segala bangsa memuji kecantikanmu yang sempurna itu, dan Akulah yang telah membuatmu jelita. Aku TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi telah berbicara.
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.
15 Tetapi engkau menyalahgunakan kecantikanmu serta keharuman namamu. Engkau tidur dengan laki-laki mana pun yang lewat.
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.
16 Sebagian dari pakaianmu kaugunakan untuk menghiasi tempat penyembahan berhalamu. Engkau menjadi pelacur dan memberikan tubuhmu kepada setiap laki-laki.
[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!
17 Dari perhiasan emas dan perak yang Kuberikan kepadamu, kaubuat patung-patung orang lelaki, lalu engkau berbuat cabul dengan patung-patung itu.
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.
18 Kaukenakan pada patung-patung itu pakaian bersulam yang telah Kuberikan kepadamu. Kaupersembahkan kepada mereka minyak zaitun dan dupa yang telah kauterima daripada-Ku.
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].
19 Kuberi kepadamu makanan dari terigu yang paling baik, madu dan minyak zaitun yang paling murni. Tetapi semua itu kaupersembahkan kepada berhala-berhala itu untuk menyenangkan hati mereka. Aku TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi telah berbicara.
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.
20 Kemudian kaupersembahkan anak-anak kita, laki-laki dan perempuan, menjadi kurban kepada berhala-berhala. Belum cukupkah bahwa engkau tidak setia kepada-Ku?
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.
21 Haruskah kauambil juga anak-anak-Ku dan mengurbankan mereka kepada berhala-berhala?
You slaughtered [those who were like] [MET] my children, and offered them to be sacrifices to the gods!
22 Dalam hidupmu yang menjijikkan sebagai pelacur itu, sedikit pun engkau tak mengingat masa kecilmu dulu, ketika engkau telanjang dan menggeliat dalam genangan darahmu sendiri."
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.
23 TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi berkata, "Celakalah engkau! Sungguh celaka! Engkau telah melakukan segala kejahatan itu.
So I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that terrible things will happen to you. In addition to all the other wicked things that you did,
24 Lagipula, di alun-alun kota dan di tepi setiap jalan engkau mendirikan tempat-tempat untuk menyembah berhala dan melacur.
you built a shrine to worship idols in every [city] square/plaza.
25 Engkau mencemarkan kecantikanmu. Tubuhmu kautawarkan kepada setiap laki-laki yang lewat, dan tak henti-hentinya engkau berzinah.
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.
26 Mesir, tetanggamu yang besar nafsunya itu, telah kaukawani tidur. Engkau sengaja melacur untuk membuat Aku marah.
[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.
27 Sekarang Aku bertindak untuk menghukum engkau dan mengambil berkat yang telah Kuberikan kepadamu. Kuserahkan engkau kepada orang-orang Filistin yang benci kepadamu dan yang muak melihat kelakuanmu yang kotor itu.
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.
28 Tetapi engkau belum juga merasa puas; sebab itu kaukejar-kejar orang Asyur. Engkau menjadi pelacur mereka, tetapi tidak juga mendapat kepuasan dari mereka.
[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.
29 Lalu engkau menjadi pelacur orang Babel, bangsa pedagang itu. Tetapi mereka pun tidak sanggup memberi kepuasan kepadamu."
So you also had sex [with soldiers from] Babylonia, a country full of merchants/businessmen, but even that did not satisfy you.
30 TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi berkata, "Semuanya itu telah kaulakukan seperti pelacur yang tak tahu malu.
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].
31 Di alun-alun kota dan di setiap jalan kaudirikan tempat-tempat untuk menyembah berhala dan melacur. Tetapi engkau bukanlah seperti pelacur biasa yang perlu uang.
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.
32 Engkau seperti istri yang mengkhianati suaminya dan berbuat serong dengan laki-laki lain.
You are like [MET] a woman who commits adultery: You prefer to [have sex with] strangers rather than with your husband.
33 Seorang pelacur selalu mendapat bayaran, tetapi sebaliknya engkaulah yang memberi hadiah kepada kekasih-kekasihmu, bahkan kaubujuk mereka dengan uang supaya datang dari mana-mana untuk tidur bersamamu.
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.
34 Engkau pelacur yang lain dari yang lain-lain. Tak ada yang memaksa engkau menjadi pelacur. Engkau tidak dibayar, malahan engkau sendiri yang membayar. Memang, engkau lain dari yang lain-lain."
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.
35 Hai Yerusalem, pelacur, dengarlah apa yang dikatakan TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi, "Engkau telah membuka bajumu, dan sebagai pelacur kauserahkan tubuhmu kepada kekasih-kekasih dan berhala-berhalamu yang menjijikkan itu. Anak-anakmu kaubunuh dan kaukurbankan bagi berhala-berhala itu.
Therefore, [you people of] Jerusalem, who are like a prostitute [MET], listen to what I, Yahweh the Lord, am saying about you!
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.
37 Karena itu, semua bekas kekasihmu akan Kukumpulkan, baik yang kausukai maupun yang kaubenci. Mereka akan berdiri mengelilingi engkau dan akan melepaskan seluruh pakaianmu, sehingga mereka dapat memandang tubuhmu yang telanjang.
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.
38 Engkau akan Kuhukum karena perzinahan dan pembunuhan yang telah kaulakukan itu. Dalam kemarahan dan murka-Ku engkau akan Kuhukum mati.
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.
39 Engkau akan Kuserahkan kepada kekasih-kekasihmu itu, dan mereka akan merubuhkan tempat-tempat engkau melacur dan menyembah berhala. Segala pakaian dan perhiasanmu akan mereka rampas, sehingga engkau telanjang.
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].
40 Mereka akan menyuruh orang banyak melempari engkau dengan batu, dan memotong-motong tubuhmu dengan pedang.
They will bring a mob to attack you, and that mob will throw stones at you and cut you to pieces with their swords.
41 Mereka akan membakar rumah-rumahmu dan menyuruh para wanita menyaksikan penghukumanmu. Demikianlah akan Kuhentikan perzinahanmu. Engkau tak akan membagi-bagikan hadiah lagi kepada kekasih-kekasihmu.
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.
42 Baru setelah itu kemarahan-Ku akan reda, dan Aku akan menjadi tenang kembali. Aku tak akan marah lagi atau cemburu.
Then I will no longer be angry [DOU] with you. I will stop being jealous [because of your worshiping gods other than me only].
43 Aku menghukum engkau karena engkau tak ingat bagaimana Aku merawat engkau ketika engkau masih muda. Engkau membuat Aku marah dengan segala perbuatanmu yang jahat itu. Mengapa segala kelakuanmu yang menjijikkan itu masih kautambah lagi dengan perzinahan? Aku TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi telah berbicara."
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.
44 TUHAN berkata, "Hai Yerusalem, orang-orang akan mengenakan peribahasa ini kepadamu, 'Seperti ibunya, begitu juga putrinya.'
People who [like to] quote proverbs will quote this proverb about you: “[behave] like their mothers [behave].”
45 Memang, engkau adalah anak perempuan ibumu. Dia benci kepada suaminya dan kepada anak-anaknya sendiri. Engkau mirip saudara-saudaramu perempuan yang juga membenci suaminya dan anak-anaknya. Engkau dan saudara-saudaramu, yaitu kota-kota di sekitarmu mempunyai ibu orang Het dan ayah orang Amori.
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.
46 Kakakmu adalah Samaria di utara dengan semua desanya. Dan adikmu adalah Sodom di selatan dengan semua desanya.
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.
47 Puaskah engkau mengikuti jejak mereka dan meniru perbuatan mereka yang menjijikkan itu? Belum! Tak berapa lama lagi engkau bahkan lebih bejat lagi daripada mereka.
You not only imitated all [DOU] their detestable behavior, but you quickly became more sinful than they were.
48 Demi Aku, Allah yang hidup, kata TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi, saudaramu Sodom dengan desa-desanya belum pernah sejahat engkau dengan desa-desamu.
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.
49 Sodom dan desa-desanya sombong karena punya banyak persediaan makanan serta dapat hidup dengan tenang dan damai. Tetapi mereka tidak memperhatikan orang miskin dan orang hina.
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.
50 Mereka sombong dan keras kepala, serta melakukan hal-hal yang Kubenci. Sebab itu mereka Kuhancurkan seperti yang telah kaulihat.
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.
51 Memang Samaria jahat, tetapi dosanya tidak ada separuh dari dosa-dosamu. Kelakuanmu jauh lebih jahat lagi. Saudara-saudaramu perempuan seakan-akan tidak bersalah dibandingkan dengan engkau. Engkau harus merasa malu dan hina!"
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.
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].
53 TUHAN berkata kepada Yerusalem, "Sodom dan Samaria serta desa-desa mereka akan Kujadikan makmur kembali. Setelah itu, barulah engkau Kujadikan makmur juga.
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.
54 Dengan demikian engkau akan malu pada dirimu sendiri, dan kehinaanmu akan menunjukkan kepada saudara-saudaramu betapa baik nasib mereka.
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.
55 Mereka dan desa-desa mereka akan menjadi makmur kembali, juga engkau dan desa-desamu.
[The people of] Sodom and Samaria will prosper again, and you and the people in nearby cities will prosper also.
56 Bukankah engkau pernah menertawakan Sodom pada waktu engkau masih sombong
You (sneered at/despised) [the people of] Sodom when you were proud,
57 dan kejahatanmu belum ketahuan? Sekarang engkau sama saja dengan dia; engkau menjadi bahan tertawaan orang Edom, orang Filistin dan tetangga-tetanggamu lainnya yang benci kepadamu.
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 Engkau harus menderita sebagai akibat perbuatanmu yang kotor dan menjijikkan itu. Aku TUHAN telah berbicara."
And you are being punished for all your immoral behavior and other detestable things that you do.
59 TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi berkata, "Engkau akan Kuperlakukan setimpal dengan perbuatanmu, sebab engkau telah mengingkari sumpahmu serta melanggar perjanjian-Ku dengan engkau.
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.
60 Tetapi Aku akan mengingat perjanjian yang telah Kubuat denganmu di masa mudamu dan membuat perjanjian denganmu yang berlaku untuk selama-lamanya.
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.
61 Engkau akan teringat kepada perbuatan-perbuatanmu dan merasa malu sewaktu saudara-saudaramu Kukembalikan kepadamu. Mereka akan Kujadikan seperti anak-anakmu, meskipun hal itu tidak termasuk dalam perjanjian-Ku denganmu.
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.
62 Aku akan membuat perjanjian yang baru denganmu. Maka tahulah engkau bahwa Akulah TUHAN.
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].
63 Aku akan memaafkan semua kesalahanmu, tetapi engkau tak akan dapat melupakannya dan engkau akan merasa malu untuk mengatakan apa pun. Aku TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi telah berbicara."
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.’”
