Yehezkiel 28
1 TUHAN berkata kepadaku,
[Then] Yahweh gave me another message. [He said]:
2 "Hai manusia fana, sampaikanlah kepada raja Tirus, apa yang Aku TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi katakan kepadanya, 'Dengan sombong engkau menganggap dirimu dewa yang bertakhta di tengah-tengah laut. Boleh saja engkau berlagak sebagai dewa, tetapi ingatlah, engkau hanya manusia biasa.
“You human, give to the king of Tyre this message from [me], Yahweh the Lord: ‘You have very proudly claimed, “I am a god! I sit on a throne of a god [in a city on an island] in the sea!” You boast that you are a god; but you are only a man, not a god.
3 Sangkamu engkau lebih pandai daripada Danel, sehingga tak ada rahasia yang tersembunyi bagimu.
[You think that] you are wiser than Daniel was, [and you think that] you can understand every secret.
4 Kaupakai hikmat dan pengertianmu untuk mengumpulkan harta, emas dan perak.
By being wise and understanding [a lot], you have become [very] rich; you have acquired much gold and silver for your treasuries.
5 Memang, engkau pandai berdagang dan sekarang sudah kaya raya, dan kekayaanmu itu membuat engkau sombong!'"
[Yes, it is true that] by trading wisely, you have been enabled to become very rich, and because you are rich, you have become very proud.
6 TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi berkata, "Hai Tirus, karena engkau menganggap dirimu sama seperti Allah, Aku akan mengirim tentara asing yang sangat kejam untuk menyerang engkau. Mereka akan menghancurkan segala kemegahan yang telah kaucapai berkat hikmat dan pengertianmu.
Therefore, this is what Yahweh the Lord says: “Because you think that you are as wise as a god,
I will [now] bring a foreign [army] to attack your [country], an army that causes other nations to be terrified. They will pull out their swords to strike you, [you who think that] [IRO] you have marvelous/great wisdom, and they will destroy all your beautiful things.
8 Engkau akan dibunuh dan dikuburkan di dalam laut.
They will bring you down to your grave; you will die violently like [MET] those who died in the sea.
9 Nah, jika tiba saat itu, masih dapatkah engkau mengatakan bahwa engkau Allah? Di hadapan pembunuh-pembunuhmu, nyatalah bahwa engkau hanya manusia belaka.
Then you will certainly not [RHQ] say to those who are killing you, 'I am a god!' [because they will know that] you are not a god; you are only a man.
10 Engkau akan mati seperti orang hina karena dibunuh oleh orang asing yang tidak mengenal Allah. Aku, TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi telah berbicara."
You will die like other people who are unacceptable to me die, killed by foreigners.” [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.’”
11 TUHAN berkata lagi kepadaku, kata-Nya,
Yahweh also gave me this message:
12 "Hai manusia fana, merataplah untuk raja Tirus. Sampaikanlah apa yang Aku, TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi katakan kepadanya, 'Engkau pernah menjadi lambang kesempurnaan; dulu engkau sungguh bijaksana dan tampan!
“You human, sing a sad/funeral song about the king of Tyre. Say to him, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: [“You thought that] [IRO] you were completely perfect, extremely wise and handsome.
13 Tempat tinggalmu di Eden, taman Allah. Pakaianmu berhiaskan bermacam-macam permata: batu delima dan intan, topas, batu pirus, batu yakut, ratna, cempaka, batu nilam, zamrud dan batu alkali merah. Perhiasan emasmu pun banyak. Barang-barang itu dibuat untukmu pada hari engkau diciptakan.
You [had a wonderful life, as though] you were in my [beautiful] garden in Eden. Your [clothes] were decorated with many [HYP] kinds of very valuable stones— ruby, topaz, emerald, chrysolite, onyx, jasper, turquoise, and beryl [stones]. Those stones were set/placed in gold [mountings]. They were prepared for you on the day that you were born.
14 Malaikat yang menyeramkan Kutempatkan di situ untuk menjaga engkau. Engkau tinggal di atas gunung-Ku yang suci dan berjalan di tengah-tengah batu permata yang gemerlapan.
I appointed [DOU] you to be like [MET] a strong angel to guard the people. [It was as though I put] you on my holy mountain, and you walked among fiery stones.
15 Kelakuanmu sempurna sejak engkau diciptakan sampai engkau mulai berbuat jahat.
You were completely good in all that you did, from the day that you were created/born, until you [started to] do wicked things.
16 Engkau sibuk berjual beli, dan itulah yang membawa engkau kepada kekerasan dan dosa. Maka Kuusir engkau dari gunung-Ku yang suci, dan malaikat penjagamu menghalau engkau dari tengah-tengah permata yang gemerlapan itu.
[Then] you became busy trading things, and you started to act violently, and you sinned. So I caused you to be disgraced; and the angel who was guarding you forced you to leave my holy mountain, forced you to leave your place among those fiery stones.
17 Rupamu yang tampan membuat engkau sombong dan kemasyhuran menyebabkan engkau bertindak bodoh. Sebab itu engkau Kubanting ke tanah dan Kujadikan peringatan untuk raja-raja lain.'"
You were extremely proud because you were very handsome. Because you loved beautiful things, you did things that wise people do not do. [So] I threw you to the ground, and allowed [other] kings who saw you to laugh at you.
18 TUHAN berkata, "Hai Tirus, engkau mencemarkan tempat-tempat ibadatmu karena kesalahan-kesalahan dan kecurangan waktu berjual beli. Sebab itu Kubakar engkau sehingga menjadi rata dengan tanah. Semua orang yang memandang engkau hanya melihat abu.
By committing many sins and by trading things dishonestly, you caused your places of worship to become unacceptable to me. So I caused a fire [to burn down your city]. [Your city] was burned completely; the people who were watching it saw that only ashes remained on the ground.
19 Engkau telah hilang lenyap untuk selama-lamanya. Semua bangsa yang mengenal engkau menjadi gentar karena takut akan mengalami nasib seperti itu."
All the people who knew what your [city was like previously] were appalled. Now [your city] has disappeared, and it will not exist any more.”’”
20 TUHAN berkata kepadaku,
[Then] Yahweh gave me another message. [He said],
21 "Hai manusia fana, kutukilah kota Sidon.
“You human, turn toward Sidon [city], and declare the terrible things that will happen to it.
22 Sampaikanlah kepada penduduknya bahwa Aku TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi berkata kepada mereka, 'Aku ini musuhmu, hai Sidon. Orang-orang akan memuji Aku karena tindakan-Ku terhadap engkau. Pada waktu Aku menghukum pendudukmu, mereka akan tahu bahwa Akulah TUHAN yang suci.
Give [the people of Sidon] this message from [me], Yahweh the Lord: ‘I am your enemy, [you people of] Sidon, and by what I do to you, I will reveal that I am very great/glorious. When I punish you and reveal that I am holy, everyone who is watching that will know that it is I, Yahweh, [who have the power to do what I say that I will do].
23 Aku akan mendatangkan wabah penyakit, dan membiarkan darah mengalir di jalan-jalanmu. Engkau akan diserang musuh dari segala jurusan, dan pendudukmu akan dibunuh. Maka tahulah engkau bahwa Akulah TUHAN.'"
I will send a plague upon you, and I will send [enemies to come and] kill [MTY] you in your streets. They will attack you from every direction, and your people will be slaughtered inside the walls of your city. Then everyone will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].'
24 TUHAN berkata, "Negeri-negeri tetangga yang pernah menghina Israel, tidak lagi merupakan onak dan duri yang menyakiti Israel. Mereka akan sadar bahwa Akulah TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi."
No longer will those who live near you people of Israel [hurt you] like [MET] painful briers and sharp thorns [hurt people]. And then the Israeli people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
25 TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi berkata, "Aku akan mengumpulkan orang-orang Israel dari negeri-negeri jauh di tempat mereka telah Kuceraiberaikan, dan semua bangsa akan tahu bahwa Aku suci. Bangsa Israel akan tinggal lagi di tanah mereka sendiri, tanah yang telah Kuberikan kepada hamba-Ku Yakub.
And this is [also] what Yahweh the Lord says: “Some day the people of Israel will live in their own land [again], the land that I gave to Jacob, who [also] served me. I will gather them from [distant] countries where I have scattered them. And I will reveal to the nations that I am holy among my people.
26 Mereka akan hidup dengan aman di situ dan membangun rumah-rumah serta membuat kebun-kebun anggur. Aku akan menghukum semua tetangga mereka yang telah menghina mereka, sehingga Israel menjadi aman. Maka tahulah mereka bahwa Akulah TUHAN Allah mereka."
My people will live safely in Israel; they will build houses and plant vineyards. And when I punish the nearby nations that despised them, they will know that it is I, Yahweh their God, [who has done it].”
