Yehezkiel 23
1 TUHAN berbicara kepadaku, kata-Nya,
Yahweh’s word came again to me, saying,
2 "Hai manusia fana, ada dua wanita, kakak beradik.
“Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother.
3 Pada waktu muda, mereka tinggal di Mesir. Di sana mereka kehilangan keperawanannya, lalu mereka menjadi pelacur.
They played the prostitute in Egypt. They played the prostitute in their youth. Their breasts were fondled there, and their youthful nipples were caressed there.
4 Yang sulung bernama Ohola; ia melambangkan Samaria. Adiknya bernama Oholiba; ia melambangkan Yerusalem. Aku kawin dengan mereka dan mendapat anak dari kedua-duanya.
Their names were Oholah the elder, and Oholibah her sister. They became mine, and they bore sons and daughters. As for their names, Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem Oholibah.
5 Meskipun Ohola sudah menjadi istri-Ku, ia tetap melacur, dan sangat bergairah melayani kekasih-kekasihnya dari Asyur.
“Oholah played the prostitute when she was mine. She doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians 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.
who were clothed with blue—governors and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding on horses.
7 Dengan pembesar-pembesar itulah Ohola berzinah. Lagipula karena sangat berahinya, ia menajiskan dirinya dengan menyembah berhala-berhala mereka.
She gave herself as a prostitute to them, all of them the choicest men of Assyria. She defiled herself with the idols of whomever she lusted after.
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.
She hasn’t left her prostitution since leaving Egypt; for in her youth they lay with her. They caressed her youthful nipples and they poured out their prostitution on her.
9 Sebab itu Kuserahkan dia kepada kekasih-kekasihnya, orang-orang Asyur yang sangat dirindukannya itu.
“Therefore I delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand 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.
These uncovered her nakedness. They took her sons and her daughters, and they killed her with the sword. She became a byword among women; for they executed judgments on her.
11 Oholiba, adiknya melihat kejadian itu, tetapi ia lebih bernafsu melakukan perzinahan daripada Ohola.
“Her sister Oholibah saw this, yet she was more corrupt in her lusting than she, and in her prostitution which was more depraved than the prostitution 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 lusted after the Assyrians, governors and rulers—her neighbors, clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding on horses, all of them desirable young men.
13 Aku melihat bahwa Oholiba itu sungguh bejat, sama seperti kakaknya.
I saw that she was defiled. They both went the same 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.
“She increased her prostitution; for she saw men portrayed on the wall, the images of the Chaldeans portrayed with red,
dressed with belts on their waists, with flowing turbans on their heads, all of them looking like princes, after the likeness of the Babylonians in Chaldea, the land of their birth.
16 Ketika Oholiba melihat gambar-gambar itu, berahinya memuncak dan ia mengirim undangan kepada perwira-perwira itu di Babel.
As soon as she saw them, she lusted after them and sent messengers to them into Chaldea.
17 Maka datanglah mereka dan tidur dengan dia. Mereka menodai dia sedemikian rupa sehingga akhirnya ia menjadi muak dengan mereka.
The Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their prostitution. She was polluted with 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.
So she uncovered her prostitution and uncovered her nakedness. Then my soul was alienated from her, just like 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.
Yet she multiplied her prostitution, remembering the days of her youth, in which she had played the prostitute in the land of Egypt.
20 Ia sangat bergairah terhadap laki-laki yang meluap nafsu berahinya, dan yang gejolak berahinya sebesar nafsu kuda jantan.
She lusted after their lovers, whose flesh is as the flesh of donkeys, and whose issue is like the issue of horses.
21 (Hai Oholiba, engkau ingin mengulangi kemesuman yang kaulakukan di masa mudamu, ketika orang Mesir bercumbu-cumbu denganmu.)"
Thus you called to memory the lewdness of your youth, in the caressing of your nipples by the Egyptians because of your youthful breasts.
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, Oholibah, the Lord Yahweh says: ‘Behold, I will raise up your lovers against you, from whom your soul is alienated, and I will bring them against you on every side:
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 Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, Pekod, Shoa, Koa, and all the Assyrians with them; all of them desirable young men, governors and rulers, princes and men of renown, all of them 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.
They will come against you with weapons, chariots, and wagons, and with a company of peoples. They will set themselves against you with buckler, shield, and helmet all around. I will commit the judgment to them, and they will judge you according to 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.
I will set my jealousy against you, and they will deal with you in fury. They will take away your nose and your ears. Your remnant will fall by the sword. They will take your sons and your daughters; and the rest of you will be devoured by the fire.
26 Engkau akan ditelanjangi dan perhiasan-perhiasanmu akan dirampas.
They will also strip you of your clothes and take away your beautiful jewels.
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."
Thus I will make your lewdness to cease from you, and remove your prostitution from the land of Egypt, so that you will not lift up your eyes to them, nor remember Egypt any more.’
28 TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi berkata, "Aku akan menyerahkan engkau kepada orang-orang memuakkan yang kaubenci.
“For the Lord Yahweh says: ‘Behold, I will deliver you into the hand of them whom you hate, into the hand of them 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
They will deal with you in hatred, and will take away all your labor, and will leave you naked and bare. The nakedness of your prostitution will be uncovered, both your lewdness and your prostitution.
30 yang mendatangkan nasib buruk ini kepadamu. Engkau menjadi pelacur bagi bangsa-bangsa, dan menajiskan dirimu dengan berhala-berhala mereka.
These things will be done to you because you have played the prostitute after the nations, and because you are polluted with their idols.
31 Engkau mengikuti jejak kakakmu, oleh sebab itu engkau akan Kuhukum dengan hukuman yang sama."
You have walked in the way of your sister; therefore I will give her cup into your hand.’
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.
“The Lord Yahweh says: ‘You will drink of your sister’s cup, which is deep and large. You will be ridiculed and held in derision. It contains much.
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."
You will be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and desolation, with the cup of your sister Samaria.
You will even drink it and drain it out. You will gnaw the broken pieces of it, and will tear your breasts; for I have spoken it,’ says the Lord Yahweh.
35 TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi berkata, "Karena engkau telah melupakan Aku dan membelakangi Aku, engkau akan menderita akibat nafsu berahimu dan pelacuranmu."
“Therefore the Lord Yahweh says: ‘Because you have forgotten me and cast me behind your back, therefore you also bear your lewdness and your prostitution.’”
36 TUHAN berkata kepadaku, "Hai manusia fana, sudah siapkah engkau menghakimi Ohola dan Oholiba? Tegurlah mereka mengenai kekejian yang telah mereka perbuat.
Yahweh said moreover to me: “Son of man, will you judge Oholah and Oholibah? Then declare to them their abominations.
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 is in their hands. They have committed adultery with their idols. They have also caused their sons, whom they bore to me, to pass through the fire to them to be devoured.
38 Dan bukan itu saja. Mereka juga menajiskan Rumah-Ku dan hari Sabat yang telah Kutetapkan itu.
Moreover this they have done to me: they have defiled my sanctuary in the same day, and have 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!
For when they had slain their children to their idols, then they came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it; and behold, they have done this in the middle 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.
“Furthermore you sisters have sent for men who come from far away, to whom a messenger was sent, and behold, they came; for whom you washed yourself, painted your eyes, decorated 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 stately bed, with a table prepared before it, whereupon you set my incense and my oil.
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.
“The voice of a multitude being at ease was with her. With men of the common sort were brought drunkards from the wilderness; and they put bracelets on their hands, and beautiful crowns on their heads.
43 Lalu pikir-Ku, 'Masih maukah orang-orang itu bermain cinta dengan pelacur-pelacur yang sudah layu karena perzinahan?'
Then I said of her who was old in adulteries, ‘Now they will play the prostitute with her, and she with them.’
44 Secara bergantian orang-orang mendatangi Ohola dan Oholiba, kedua pelacur yang sudah bejat itu.
They went in to her, as they go in to a prostitute. So they went in to Oholah and to Oholibah, the lewd women.
45 Tetapi, orang-orang saleh akan mengadili kakak beradik itu atas dasar perzinahan dan pembunuhan, sebab mereka memang bersalah."
Righteous men will judge them with the judgment of adulteresses and with the judgment of women who shed blood, because they are adulteresses, and blood is in their hands.
46 TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi berkata, "Panggillah segerombolan orang untuk menyiksa dan merampok kedua pelacur itu.
“For the Lord Yahweh says: ‘I will bring up a mob against them, and will give them to be tossed back and forth and robbed.
47 Biarlah mereka dilempari dengan batu dan diserang dengan pedang. Biarlah anak-anak mereka dibantai dan rumah-rumah mereka dibakar.
The company will stone them with stones and dispatch them with their swords. They will kill their sons and their daughters, and burn up their houses with fire.
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.
“‘Thus I will cause lewdness to cease out of the land, that all women may be taught not to be lewd like you.
49 Hai Ohola dan Oholiba, Aku akan menghukum kamu karena kamu berzinah dan menyembah berhala. Maka tahulah kamu bahwa Akulah TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi."
They will recompense your lewdness on you, and you will bear the sins of your idols. Then you will know that I am the Lord Yahweh.’”
