Yehezkiel 23
1 TUHAN berbicara kepadaku, kata-Nya,
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2 "Hai manusia fana, ada dua wanita, kakak beradik.
Son of man, there were two women, daughters of one mother:
3 Pada waktu muda, mereka tinggal di Mesir. Di sana mereka kehilangan keperawanannya, lalu mereka menjadi pelacur.
and they went a-whoring in Egypt in their youth: there their breasts fell, there they lost their virginity.
4 Yang sulung bernama Ohola; ia melambangkan Samaria. Adiknya bernama Oholiba; ia melambangkan Yerusalem. Aku kawin dengan mereka dan mendapat anak dari kedua-duanya.
And their names were Oola the elder, and Ooliba her sister: and they were mine, and bore sons and daughters: and [as for] their names, Samaria was Oola, and Jerusalem was Ooliba.
5 Meskipun Ohola sudah menjadi istri-Ku, ia tetap melacur, dan sangat bergairah melayani kekasih-kekasihnya dari Asyur.
And Oola went a-whoring from me, and doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians that were her neighbors,
6 Mereka itu adalah tentara yang berseragam merah ungu, para bangsawan dan pejabat-pejabat tinggi; semuanya perwira-perwira pasukan berkuda yang berwajah tampan.
clothed with purple, princes and captains; [they were] young men and choice, all horseman riding on horses.
7 Dengan pembesar-pembesar itulah Ohola berzinah. Lagipula karena sangat berahinya, ia menajiskan dirinya dengan menyembah berhala-berhala mereka.
And she bestowed her fornication upon them; all were choice sons of the Assyrians: and on whoever she doted herself, with them she defiled herself in all [their] devices.
8 Ia terus saja melacur seperti yang dahulu dilakukannya di Mesir, di mana ia kehilangan keperawanannya. Sejak masa kecilnya, ia telah ditiduri dan diperlakukan sebagai pelacur.
And she forsook not her fornication with the Egyptians: for in her youth they committed fornication with her, and they deflowered her, and poured out their fornication upon her.
9 Sebab itu Kuserahkan dia kepada kekasih-kekasihnya, orang-orang Asyur yang sangat dirindukannya itu.
Therefore I delivered her into the hands of her lovers, into the hands of the children of the Assyrians, on whom she doted.
10 Ia ditelanjangi oleh mereka dengan kasar, lalu dibunuh dengan pedang, dan anak-anaknya dirampas. Di mana-mana nasibnya itu menjadi buah bibir kaum wanita.
They uncovered her shame: they took her sons and daughters, and killed her with the sword: and she became a byword among women: and they wrought vengeance in her for the sake of the daughters.
11 Oholiba, adiknya melihat kejadian itu, tetapi ia lebih bernafsu melakukan perzinahan daripada Ohola.
And her sister Ooliba saw [it], and she indulged in her fondness more corruptly than she, and in her fornication more than the fornication of her sister.
12 Oholiba juga sangat menginginkan orang-orang Asyur itu, yaitu pemuda-pemuda tampan dari pasukan berkuda, para bangsawan dan pejabat tinggi, serta tentara yang berseragam merah ungu itu.
She doted upon the sons of the Assyrian, princes and captains, her neighbors, clothed with fine linen, horsemen riding on horses; [they were] all choice young men.
13 Aku melihat bahwa Oholiba itu sungguh bejat, sama seperti kakaknya.
And I saw that they were defiled, [that] the two [had] one way.
14 Makin lama makin bejatlah Oholiba. Ia sangat tertarik kepada gambar-gambar yang terukir pada dinding, dan yang diwarnai dengan cat semerah darah. Gambar-gambar itu melambangkan perwira-perwira Babel dengan ikat pinggang yang indah dan serban yang berjuntai.
And she increased her fornication, and she saw men painted on the wall, likenesses of the Chaldeans painted with a pencil,
having variegated girdles on their loins, having also richly dyed [attire] upon their heads; all had a princely appearance, the likeness of the children of the Chaldeans, of their native land.
16 Ketika Oholiba melihat gambar-gambar itu, berahinya memuncak dan ia mengirim undangan kepada perwira-perwira itu di Babel.
And she doted upon them as soon as she saw them, and sent forth messengers to them into the land of the Chaldeans.
17 Maka datanglah mereka dan tidur dengan dia. Mereka menodai dia sedemikian rupa sehingga akhirnya ia menjadi muak dengan mereka.
And the sons of Babylon came to her, into the bed of rest, and they defiled her in her fornication, and she was defiled by them, and her soul was alienated from them.
18 Setelah itu dengan terang-terangan ia melacur dan mempertontonkan dirinya kepada umum. Aku muak melihat dia, seperti Aku muak terhadap kakaknya.
And she exposed her fornication, and exposed her shame: and my soul was alienated from her, even as my soul was alienated from her sister.
19 Makin lama makin sering ia berzinah, tak ada bedanya seperti di masa mudanya ketika ia melacur di Mesir.
And you did multiply your fornication, so as to call to remembrance the days of your youth, wherein you did commit whoredom in Egypt,
20 Ia sangat bergairah terhadap laki-laki yang meluap nafsu berahinya, dan yang gejolak berahinya sebesar nafsu kuda jantan.
and you did dote upon the Chaldeans, whose flesh is as the flesh of the asses, and their members [as] the members of horses.
21 (Hai Oholiba, engkau ingin mengulangi kemesuman yang kaulakukan di masa mudamu, ketika orang Mesir bercumbu-cumbu denganmu.)"
And you did look upon the iniquity of your youth, [the things] which you wrought in Egypt in your lodgings, where were the breasts of your youth.
22 TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi berkata, "Hai Oholiba, engkau sudah bosan dengan kekasih-kekasihmu, tetapi Aku akan menghasut mereka supaya mereka marah kepadamu dan mengepungmu.
Therefore, Ooliba, thus says the Lord; Behold, I [will] stir up your lovers against you, from whom your soul is alienated, and I will bring them upon you round about,
23 Aku akan mengumpulkan dan membawa kepadamu semua kekasihmu dari Babel, Pekod, Soa, Koa, Asyur, serta orang-orang Kaldea. Kubawa kepadamu pemuda-pemuda tampan yang berpangkat tinggi, bangsawan, pejabat penting dan perwira-perwira pasukan berkuda.
the children of Babylon, and all the Chaldeans, Phacuc, and Sue, and Hychue, and all the sons of the Assyrians with them; choice young men, governors and captains, all princes and renowned, riding on horses.
24 Mereka akan menyerangmu dari utara dengan tentara yang besar, dengan kereta-kereta perang dan kereta-kereta pembawa bekal. Dengan dilindungi perisai dan topi-topi baja, mereka akan mengepungmu. Akan Kubiarkan mereka menghakimimu menurut hukum-hukum mereka sendiri.
And they all shall come upon you from the north, chariots and wheels, with a multitude of nations, shields and targets; and [the enemy] shall set a watch against you round about: and I will set judgment before them, and they shall take vengeance on you with their judgments.
25 Karena Aku marah kepadamu, Kubiarkan mereka memperlakukanmu dengan kejam. Hidung dan telingamu akan mereka potong dan anak-anakmu akan diambil dan dibakar hidup-hidup.
And I will bring upon you my jealousy, and they shall deal with you in great wrath: they shall take away your nose and your ears; and shall cast down your remnant with the sword: they shall take your sons and your daughters; and your remnant fire shall devour.
26 Engkau akan ditelanjangi dan perhiasan-perhiasanmu akan dirampas.
And they shall strip you of your raiment, and take [away] your ornaments.
27 Demikianlah Aku akan menghentikan nafsu berahimu dan segala perzinahan yang kaulakukan sejak engkau ada di Mesir. Engkau tak akan lagi berharap kepada berhala mana pun atau teringat kepada Mesir."
So I will turn back your ungodliness from you, and your fornication from the land of Egypt: and you shall not lift up your eyes upon them, and shall no more remember Egypt.
28 TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi berkata, "Aku akan menyerahkan engkau kepada orang-orang memuakkan yang kaubenci.
Therefore thus says the Lord God; Behold, I [will] deliver you into the hands of those whom you hate, from whom your soul is alienated.
29 Karena mereka benci kepadamu, segala hasil jerih-payahmu akan mereka rampas. Engkau akan ditinggalkan telanjang bulat sebagai pelacur dan menjadi tontonan umum. Nafsu berahi dan kecabulanmulah
And they shall deal with you in hatred, and shall take all [the fruits] of your labors and your toils, and you shall be naked and bare: and the shame of your fornication shall be exposed: and your ungodliness and your fornication
30 yang mendatangkan nasib buruk ini kepadamu. Engkau menjadi pelacur bagi bangsa-bangsa, dan menajiskan dirimu dengan berhala-berhala mereka.
brought this upon you, in that you went a-whoring after the nations, and did defile yourself with their devices.
31 Engkau mengikuti jejak kakakmu, oleh sebab itu engkau akan Kuhukum dengan hukuman yang sama."
You did walk in the way of your sister; and I will put her cup into your hands.
32 TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi berkata, "Isi cangkir kakakmu harus kautelan. Cangkir itu besar dan dalam. Isinya penuh olok-olok dan ejekan, yang harus kautanggung dari setiap orang.
Thus says the Lord; Drink your sister's cup, deep and large, and full, to cause complete drunkenness.
33 Cangkir kakakmu Samaria, berisi ketakutan dan kehancuran. Setelah kauminum seluruh isinya kau akan mabuk dan menderita. Dan dengan pecahan-pecahan cangkir itu engkau akan merobek-robek dadamu. Aku, TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi telah berbicara."
And you shall be thoroughly weakened; and the cup of destruction, the cup of your sister Samaria,
drink you it, and I will take away her feasts and her new moons: for I have spoken [it], says the Lord.
35 TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi berkata, "Karena engkau telah melupakan Aku dan membelakangi Aku, engkau akan menderita akibat nafsu berahimu dan pelacuranmu."
Therefore thus says the Lord; Because you has forgotten me, and cast me behind your back, therefore receive you [the reward] of your ungodliness and your fornication.
36 TUHAN berkata kepadaku, "Hai manusia fana, sudah siapkah engkau menghakimi Ohola dan Oholiba? Tegurlah mereka mengenai kekejian yang telah mereka perbuat.
And the Lord said to me, Son of man, will you not judge Oola and Ooliba? and declare to them their iniquities?
37 Mereka telah melakukan perzinahan dan pembunuhan; mereka telah berzinah dengan berhala-berhala dan membunuh anak-anak-Ku yang mereka lahirkan. Anak-anak itu telah mereka persembahkan kepada berhala-berhala mereka.
For they have committed adultery, and blood was in their hands, they committed adultery with their devices, and they passed through the fire to them their children which they bore to me.
38 Dan bukan itu saja. Mereka juga menajiskan Rumah-Ku dan hari Sabat yang telah Kutetapkan itu.
So long too as they did these things to me, they defiled my sanctuary, and profaned my sabbaths.
39 Pada hari mereka membunuh anak-anak-Ku dan mempersembahkannya kepada berhala-berhala, kedua kakak beradik itu datang ke Rumah-Ku dan mencemarkannya!
And when they sacrificed their children to their idols, they also went into my sanctuary to profane it: and whereas they did thus in the midst of my house;
40 Mereka bahkan mengirim undangan kepada pria-pria di negeri-negeri yang jauh, dan mereka memenuhi undangan itu. Untuk menyambut tamu-tamu itu, kedua kakak beradik itu mandi, memakai celak mata dan mengenakan perhiasan-perhiasannya.
and whereas they did thus to the men that came from afar, to whom they sent messengers, and as soon as they came, immediately you did wash yourself, and did paint your eyes and adorn yourself with ornaments,
41 Lalu mereka duduk di atas tempat tidur yang indah. Di depannya ada meja yang penuh dengan hidangan-hidangan, termasuk dupa dan minyak zaitun yang telah Kuberikan kepada mereka.
and sat on a prepared bed, and before it [there was] a table set out, and [as for] mine incense and mine oil, they rejoiced in them,
42 Dari luar terdengar suara gaduh orang banyak yang bersenang-senang. Orang-orang itu telah diundang datang dari padang pasir. Mereka memasukkan gelang pada lengan kakak beradik itu, dan memasang mahkota-mahkota indah pada kepalanya.
and they raised a sound of music, and [that] with men coming from the wilderness out of a multitude of men, and they put bracelets on their hands, and a crown of glory on their heads;
43 Lalu pikir-Ku, 'Masih maukah orang-orang itu bermain cinta dengan pelacur-pelacur yang sudah layu karena perzinahan?'
Therefore I said, Do they not commit adultery with these? and has she also gone a-whoring [after] the manner of a harlot?
44 Secara bergantian orang-orang mendatangi Ohola dan Oholiba, kedua pelacur yang sudah bejat itu.
And they went in to her, as [men] go in to a harlot; so they went in to Oola and to Ooliba to work iniquity.
45 Tetapi, orang-orang saleh akan mengadili kakak beradik itu atas dasar perzinahan dan pembunuhan, sebab mereka memang bersalah."
And they are just men, and shall take vengeance on them with the judgment of an adulteress and the judgment of blood: for they are adulteresses, and blood is in their hands.
46 TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi berkata, "Panggillah segerombolan orang untuk menyiksa dan merampok kedua pelacur itu.
Thus says the Lord God, Bring up a multitude upon them, and send trouble and plunder into the midst of them.
47 Biarlah mereka dilempari dengan batu dan diserang dengan pedang. Biarlah anak-anak mereka dibantai dan rumah-rumah mereka dibakar.
And stone them with the stones of a multitude, and pierce them with their swords: they shall kill their sons and their daughters, and shall burn up their houses.
48 Di seluruh negeri akan Kuberantas kebejatan seperti itu. Tindakan-Ku itu akan menjadi peringatan bagi setiap wanita supaya jangan berzinah seperti kedua kakak beradik itu.
And I will remove ungodliness out of the land, and all the women shall be instructed, and shall not do according to their ungodliness.
49 Hai Ohola dan Oholiba, Aku akan menghukum kamu karena kamu berzinah dan menyembah berhala. Maka tahulah kamu bahwa Akulah TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi."
And your ungodliness shall be recompensed upon you, and you shall bear the guilt of your devices: and you shall know that I am the Lord.
