< Yehezkiel 3 >
1 Allah berkata, "Hai manusia fana, makanlah kitab gulungan ini, lalu pergilah dan berbicaralah kepada orang-orang Israel."
Moreover he said to me, Son of man, eat what thou findest; eat this roll, 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 that roll.
3 Kata-Nya, "Hai manusia fana, makanlah! Isilah perutmu dengan kitab gulungan ini." Lalu kitab itu kumakan dan rasanya manis seperti madu.
And he said to me, Son of man, cause thy belly to eat, and fill thy bowels with this roll that I give thee. Then did I eat [it]; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.
4 Allah berkata lagi, "Hai manusia fana, pergilah kepada orang-orang Israel dan sampaikanlah segala pesan-Ku kepada mereka.
And he said to me, Son of man, depart, go to the house of Israel, and speak with 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 thou art not sent to a people of a strange speech and of a hard language, [but] to the house of Israel;
Not to many people of a strange speech and of a hard language, whose words thou canst not understand. Surely, had I sent thee to them, they would have hearkened to thee.
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 hearken to thee; for they will not hearken to me: for all the house of Israel [are] impudent and hard-hearted.
8 Sekarang engkau akan Kubuat keras kepala dan ulet seperti mereka juga.
Behold, I have made thy face strong against their faces, and thy forehead strong 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 thy forehead: fear them not, neither 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 thee receive in thy heart, and hear with thy 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 depart, go to them of the captivity, to the children of thy people, and speak to them, and tell them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; 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 took me up, and I heard behind me a voice of a great rushing, [saying], Blessed [be] the glory of the LORD 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] also the noise of the wings of the living creatures that touched one another, and the noise of the wheels over against them, and 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 heat of my spirit; but the hand of the LORD was strong upon 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 captivity at Tel-abib, that dwelt by the river of Kebar, and I sat where they sat, and remained there astonished among them seven days.
16 Sesudah tujuh hari, TUHAN berkata kepadaku,
And it came to pass at the end of seven days, that the word of the LORD 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 thee a watchman to the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at 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 say to the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked [man] shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thy 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 thou shalt warn the wicked, and he shall not turn from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy 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] doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumbling-block before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thy 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 thou shalt warn the righteous [man], that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul.
22 Kurasakan kuatnya kehadiran TUHAN dan kudengar Ia mengatakan kepadaku, "Bangunlah dan pergilah ke lembah. Di sana Aku akan berbicara kepadamu."
And the hand of the LORD was there upon me; and he said to me, Arise, go forth into the plain, and I will there talk with thee.
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 behold, the glory of the LORD stood there, as the glory which I saw by the river of Kebar: 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 upon my feet, and spoke with me, and said to me, Go, shut thyself within thy house.
25 Hai manusia fana, engkau akan diikat dengan tali sehingga tak dapat keluar dan tak dapat bertemu dengan orang.
But thou, O son of man, behold, they shall put bands upon thee, and shall bind thee with them, and thou shalt not go out among them:
26 Aku akan membuat lidahmu kaku sehingga engkau tak dapat memperingatkan bangsa pemberontak ini.
And I will make thy tongue cleave to the roof of thy mouth, that thou shalt be dumb, and shalt 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 thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say to them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; He that heareth, let him hear; and he that forbeareth, let him forbear: for they [are] a rebellious house.
