Yehezkiel 22
1 TUHAN berbicara kepadaku, kata-Nya,
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2 "Hai manusia fana, sudah siapkah engkau menghakimi kota yang penuh dengan pembunuh itu. Tunjukkanlah kepadanya segala perbuatannya yang menjijikkan."
And you, son of man, will you be a judge, will you be a judge of the town of blood? then make clear to her all her disgusting ways.
3 TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi menyuruh aku menyampaikan pesan ini kepada Yerusalem, "Engkau bersalah karena telah membunuh banyak dari pendudukmu sendiri, dan telah menajiskan dirimu dengan menyembah berhala-berhala buatanmu sendiri. Sebab itu saat penghakimanmu sudah dekat dan riwayatmu segera berakhir. Engkau Kubiarkan menjadi bahan ejekan dan tertawaan bagi bangsa-bangsa dan semua negeri.
And you are to say, This is what the Lord has said: A town causing blood to be drained out in her streets so that her time may come, and making images in her to make her unclean!
You are responsible for the blood drained out by you, and you are unclean through the images which you have made; and you have made your day come near, and the time of your judging has come; for this cause I have made you a name of shame to the nations and a cause of laughing to all countries.
5 Engkau diolok-olok oleh negeri-negeri yang jauh dan dekat karena engkau terus-menerus melanggar hukum dan peraturan.
Those who are near and those who are far from you will make sport of you; your name is unclean, you are full of sounds of fear.
6 Semua pemimpin Israel mengandalkan kekuatannya sendiri dan melakukan pembunuhan.
See, the rulers of Israel, every one in his family, have been causing death in you.
7 Tak seorang pun dari pendudukmu menghormati orang tuanya. Engkau menipu orang asing dan mengambil untung dari kesusahan janda dan yatim piatu.
In you they have had no respect for father and mother; in you they have been cruel to the man from a strange land; in you they have done wrong to the child without a father and to the widow.
8 Tempat-tempat ibadah bagi-Ku kaunodai dan hari Sabat tidak kauindahkan.
You have made little of my holy things, and have made my Sabbaths unclean.
9 Di antara pendudukmu ada penghasut-penghasut yang suka memfitnah orang lain supaya dihukum mati. Ada juga yang suka makan daging yang sudah dikurbankan kepada berhala. Ada lagi yang suka berbuat cabul.
In you there are men who say evil of others, causing death; in you they have taken the flesh with the blood for food; in your streets they have put evil designs into effect.
10 Ada yang menggoda dan meniduri ibu tirinya, wanita yang sedang haid,
In you they have let the shame of their fathers be seen; in you they have done wrong to a woman at the time when she was unclean.
11 istri orang lain atau menantunya atau adiknya dari lain ibu.
And in you one man has done what was disgusting with his neighbour's wife; and another has made his daughter-in-law unclean; and another has done wrong to his sister, his father's daughter.
12 Ada juga yang menjadi pembunuh bayaran, lintah darat dan pemeras orang-orang sebangsanya. Mereka semua telah melupakan Aku. Aku TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi telah berbicara.
In you they have taken rewards as the price of blood; you have taken interest and great profits, and you have taken away your neighbours' goods by force, and have not kept me in mind, says the Lord.
13 Tetapi sekarang Aku akan menghantam para perampok dan pembunuhmu.
See, then, I have made my hands come together in wrath against your taking of goods by force and against the blood which has been flowing in you.
14 Masih beranikah atau masih kuatkah engkau untuk mengangkat tanganmu setelah Aku selesai menghukum engkau? Aku, TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi telah berbicara dan Aku akan melaksanakan apa yang telah Kukatakan.
Will your heart be high or your hands strong in the days when I take you in hand? I the Lord have said it and will do it.
15 Aku akan menceraiberaikan pendudukmu ke semua negeri dan bangsa, dan Aku akan menghentikan perbuatanmu yang jahat itu.
And I will send you in flight among the nations and wandering among the countries; and I will completely take away out of you everything which is unclean.
16 Engkau akan dihina oleh bangsa-bangsa lain, maka tahulah engkau bahwa Akulah TUHAN."
And you will be made low before the eyes of the nations; and it will be clear to you that I am the Lord.
17 TUHAN berkata kepadaku,
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
18 "Hai manusia fana, orang-orang Israel itu tidak berguna bagi-Ku. Mereka ibarat sampah logam campuran, seperti tembaga, timah, besi dan timah hitam yang tersisa setelah perak dimurnikan di dalam perapian.
Son of man, the children of Israel have become like the poorest sort of waste metal to me: they are all silver and brass and tin and iron and lead mixed with waste.
19 Maka sekarang, Aku, TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi, mengatakan kepada mereka bahwa mereka sama seperti logam yang tidak berguna itu. Sebagaimana bijih perak, perunggu, besi, timah hitam dan timah putih dimasukkan ke dalam perapian untuk dimurnikan, begitu pula mereka akan Kukumpulkan dan Kubawa ke Yerusalem. Kemarahan-Ku yang hebat akan meleburkan mereka seperti api meleburkan bijih-bijih logam.
For this cause the Lord has said: Because you have all become waste metal, see, I will get you together inside Jerusalem.
As they put silver and brass and iron and lead and tin together inside the oven, heating up the fire on it to make it soft; so will I get you together in my wrath and in my passion, and, heating the fire with my breath, will make you soft.
21 Ya, Aku akan mengumpulkan mereka di Yerusalem, memasang api kemarahan-Ku di bawah mereka, sehingga mereka hancur lebur.
Yes, I will take you, breathing on you the fire of my wrath, and you will become soft in it.
22 Seperti perak dilebur di dalam perapian, begitu pula mereka akan dilebur di Yerusalem. Maka tahulah mereka bahwa Aku, TUHAN, telah melepaskan kemarahan-Ku ke atas mereka."
As silver becomes soft in the oven, so you will become soft in it; and you will be certain that I the Lord have let loose my passion on you.
23 TUHAN berbicara lagi kepadaku, kata-Nya,
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
24 "Hai manusia fana, katakan kepada orang Israel bahwa tanah mereka najis, dan sebab itu Aku marah dan menghukumnya.
Son of man, say to her, You are a land on which no rain or thunderstorm has come in the day of wrath.
25 Para pemimpinnya seperti singa yang mengaum setelah menerkam mangsanya. Mereka membunuh rakyat, merampas semua harta dan kekayaan yang mereka temukan dan menyebabkan banyak wanita menjadi janda.
Her rulers in her are like a loud-voiced lion violently taking his food; they have made a meal of souls; they have taken wealth and valued property; they have made great the number of widows in her.
26 Para imam Israel melanggar hukum-hukum-Ku dan mencemarkan benda-benda yang dikhususkan untuk-Ku. Mereka tidak membedakan mana yang halal dan mana yang haram. Juga mereka tidak mengajar rakyat untuk membedakan mana yang bersih dan mana yang najis menurut peraturan agama. Mereka tidak menghiraukan hari Sabat. Dengan demikian Aku dihina oleh bangsa Israel.
Her priests have been acting violently against my law; they have made my holy things unclean: they have made no division between what is holy and what is common, and they have not made it clear that the unclean is different from the clean, and their eyes have been shut to my Sabbaths, and I am not honoured among them.
27 Pejabat-pejabat pemerintahnya seperti serigala yang merobek-robek mangsanya. Mereka melakukan pembunuhan hanya untuk mencari untung.
Her rulers in her are like wolves violently taking their food; putting men to death and causing the destruction of souls, so that they may get their profit.
28 Para nabi menyembunyikan dosa-dosa itu; mereka seperti orang yang mengapuri tembok yang kotor. Penglihatan-penglihatan mereka palsu, begitu juga ramalan-ramalan mereka. Mereka mengaku bahwa pesan yang mereka sampaikan adalah yang mereka terima dari TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi, padahal Aku sama sekali tidak berbicara kepada mereka.
And her prophets have been using whitewash, seeing foolish visions and making false use of secret arts, saying, This is what the Lord has said, when the Lord has said nothing.
29 Orang-orang kaya menipu dan merampok. Mereka memperlakukan orang miskin dengan sewenang-wenang dan mengambil keuntungan dari orang asing.
The people of the land have been acting cruelly, taking men's goods by force; they have been hard on the poor and those in need, and have done wrong to the man from a strange land.
30 Di antara orang Israel itu, Aku mencari orang yang dapat mendirikan tembok, atau berdiri di tempat-tempat yang tembok-temboknya runtuh untuk mempertahankan negeri itu apabila Aku hendak menghancurkannya dalam luapan kemarahan-Ku; namun tak seorang pun yang Kutemukan.
And I was looking for a man among them who would make up the wall and take his station in the broken place before me for the land, so that I might not send destruction on it: but there was no one.
31 Sebab itu sekarang Kulepaskan kemarahan-Ku terhadap mereka, dan seperti api Aku akan membinasakan mereka karena segala perbuatan mereka. Aku TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi telah berbicara."
And I let loose my passion on them, and have put an end to them in the fire of my wrath: I have made the punishment of their ways come on their heads, says the Lord.
