Yehezkiel 3
1 Allah berkata, "Hai manusia fana, makanlah kitab gulungan ini, lalu pergilah dan berbicaralah kepada orang-orang Israel."
He said to me, "Son of man, eat that which you find. Eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel."
2 Lalu kubuka mulutku dan Allah memberikan kitab gulungan itu kepadaku supaya kumakan.
So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat the scroll.
3 Kata-Nya, "Hai manusia fana, makanlah! Isilah perutmu dengan kitab gulungan ini." Lalu kitab itu kumakan dan rasanya manis seperti madu.
He said to me, "Son of man, cause your belly to eat, and fill your belly with this scroll that I give you." Then I ate it; and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth.
4 Allah berkata lagi, "Hai manusia fana, pergilah kepada orang-orang Israel dan sampaikanlah segala pesan-Ku kepada mereka.
He said to me, "Son of man, go to the house of Israel, and speak my words to them.
5 Kepada merekalah engkau Kuutus, dan bukan kepada bangsa yang bahasanya sulit, asing dan tidak kau mengerti. Seandainya engkau Kuutus kepada bangsa yang seperti itu, maka mereka akan mendengarkan kata-katamu.
For you are not sent to a people of a strange speech and of a hard language, but to the house of Israel;
not to many peoples of a strange speech and of a hard language, whose words you can not understand. Surely, if I sent you to them, they would listen to you.
7 Tetapi bangsa Israel tidak mau mendengarkan engkau, bahkan Aku pun tak mereka hiraukan. Mereka semua keras kepala dan suka melawan.
But the house of Israel will not listen to you; for they will not listen to me: for all the house of Israel are obstinate and hard-hearted.
8 Sekarang engkau akan Kubuat keras kepala dan ulet seperti mereka juga.
Look, I have made your face hard against their faces, and your forehead hard against their foreheads.
9 Engkau akan Kujadikan seteguh batu karang dan sekeras intan. Janganlah takut kepada para pemberontak itu."
As an adamant harder than flint have I made your forehead. Do not be afraid of them, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house."
10 Selanjutnya Allah berkata, "Hai manusia fana, perhatikanlah baik-baik dan ingatlah segala yang akan Kukatakan kepadamu.
Moreover he said to me, "Son of man, all my words that I shall speak to you receive in your heart, and hear with your ears.
11 Pergilah kepada bangsamu yang ada dalam pembuangan itu, dan sampaikanlah apa yang Aku, TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi katakan kepada mereka, entah mereka mau mendengarkan atau tidak."
And go to the exiles, to the children of your people, and speak to them, and tell them, 'Thus says YHWH'; whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear.
12 Lalu Roh Allah mengangkat aku dan di belakangku kudengar suara gemuruh yang berkata, "Pujilah kemuliaan TUHAN di surga!"
Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me the voice of a great rushing, saying, "Blessed be the glory of YHWH from his place."
13 Kudengar bunyi sayap makhluk-makhluk itu yang saling bersentuhan, dan bunyi gemertak roda-roda itu yang senyaring bunyi gempa bumi.
I heard the noise of the wings of the living creatures as they touched one another, and the noise of the wheels beside them, even the noise of a great rushing.
14 Kekuasaan TUHAN mendatangi aku dengan hebat, dan ketika aku diangkat dan dibawa oleh Roh-Nya, hatiku terasa pahit dan panas.
So the Spirit lifted me up, and took me away; and I went in bitterness, in the anger of my spirit; and the hand of YHWH was strong on me.
15 Maka tibalah aku di tempat pemukiman para buangan di Tel-Abib di tepi Sungai Kebar. Selama tujuh hari aku tinggal di situ; aku termangu-mangu oleh segala yang baru saja kudengar dan kulihat itu.
Then I came to them of the exiles at Tel Aviv, that lived by the river Chebar, and to where they lived; and I sat there overwhelmed among them seven days.
16 Sesudah tujuh hari, TUHAN berkata kepadaku,
It happened at the end of seven days, that the word of YHWH came to me, saying,
17 "Hai manusia fana, engkau Kuangkat menjadi penjaga bangsa Israel. Sampaikanlah kepada mereka peringatan yang Kuberikan ini.
"Son of man, I have made you a watchman to the house of Israel: therefore hear the word from my mouth, and give them warning from me.
18 Jika Aku memberitahukan bahwa seorang penjahat akan mati, tetapi engkau tidak memperingatkan dia supaya ia mengubah kelakuannya sehingga ia selamat, maka ia akan mati masih sebagai seorang berdosa, dan tanggung jawab atas kematiannya akan dituntut daripadamu.
When I tell the wicked, 'You shall surely die'; and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at your hand.
19 Jika engkau memperingatkan orang jahat itu dan ia tak mau berhenti berbuat jahat, dia akan mati sebagai orang berdosa, tetapi engkau sendiri akan selamat.
Yet if you warn the wicked, and he doesn't turn from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul.
20 Kalau seorang yang baik mulai berbuat dosa, dan dia Kuhadapkan dengan bahaya, maka ia akan mati apabila engkau tidak memperingatkannya. Ia akan mati karena dosa-dosanya, dan perbuatan-perbuatannya yang baik tidak akan Kuingat. Tetapi tanggung jawab atas kematiannya itu akan Kutuntut daripadamu.
"Again, when a righteous man does turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die: because you have not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteous deeds which he has done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at your hand.
21 Jika orang yang baik itu kauperingatkan supaya jangan berbuat dosa, dan ia menurut nasihatmu, maka dia tidak akan Kuhukum dan engkau akan selamat."
Nevertheless if you warn the righteous man, that the righteous not sin, and he does not sin, he shall surely live, because he took warning; and you have delivered your soul."
22 Kurasakan kuatnya kehadiran TUHAN dan kudengar Ia mengatakan kepadaku, "Bangunlah dan pergilah ke lembah. Di sana Aku akan berbicara kepadamu."
The hand of YHWH was there on me; and he said to me, "Arise, go forth into the plain, and I will there talk with you."
23 Maka pergilah aku ke lembah, dan di situ kulihat terang kemilau yang menunjukkan kehadiran TUHAN seperti yang telah kulihat di tepi Sungai Kebar. Lalu aku jatuh tertelungkup di atas tanah,
Then I arose, and went forth into the plain: and look, the glory of YHWH stood there, as the glory which I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell on my face.
24 tetapi Roh Allah memasuki dan menegakkan aku. TUHAN berkata kepadaku, "Pulanglah dan berkurunglah di dalam rumah.
Then the Spirit entered into me, and set me on my feet; and he spoke with me, and said to me, "Go, shut yourself inside your house.
25 Hai manusia fana, engkau akan diikat dengan tali sehingga tak dapat keluar dan tak dapat bertemu dengan orang.
But you, son of man, look, they shall lay bands on you, and shall bind you with them, and you shall not go out among them:
26 Aku akan membuat lidahmu kaku sehingga engkau tak dapat memperingatkan bangsa pemberontak ini.
and I will make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth, that you shall be mute, and shall not be to them a reprover; for they are a rebellious house.
27 Nanti, kalau Aku berbicara kepadamu lagi dan mengembalikan kemampuanmu untuk berkata-kata, engkau harus menyampaikan apa yang Aku, TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi katakan kepada mereka. Sebagian dari mereka akan mendengarkan, tetapi sebagian lagi tidak, karena mereka memang bangsa pemberontak."
But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth, and you shall tell them, 'Thus says the Lord YHWH': He who hears, let him hear; and he who forbears, let him forbear: for they are a rebellious house.
