Yehezkiel 32
1 Pada tanggal satu bulan dua belas dalam tahun kedua belas masa pembuangan kami, TUHAN berkata kepadaku,
And it happened that, in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, on the first of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2 "Hai manusia fana, berilah peringatan keras kepada raja Mesir. Sampaikanlah pesan-Ku ini kepadanya, 'Engkau berlagak seperti singa muda di antara bangsa-bangsa, tetapi engkau lebih menyerupai buaya yang berkecimpung di dalam air. Kakimu mengeruhkan dan mengotorkan segala sungai.
“Son of man, take up a lamentation over Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and you shall say to him: You are like the lion of the Gentiles, and like the dragon that is in the sea. And you brandished a horn among your rivers, and you disturbed the waters with your feet, and you trampled upon their rivers.
3 Pada waktu bangsa-bangsa berkumpul, Aku akan menangkap engkau dengan jala-Ku, dan membiarkan bangsa-bangsa itu menyeret engkau ke darat.
Because of this, thus says the Lord God: I will spread my net over you, with the multitude of many peoples, and I will draw you into my dragnet.
4 Engkau akan Kuhempaskan ke tanah dan semua burung serta binatang dari seluruh dunia akan Kusuruh memakan engkau.
And I will throw you upon the land. I will cast you upon the surface of the field. And I will cause all the birds of the air to live upon you. And I will satiate the beasts of the entire earth with you.
5 Lalu gunung-gunung dan lembah-lembah akan Kupenuhi dengan bangkaimu yang membusuk itu.
And I will place your flesh upon the mountains. And I will fill up your hills with your decaying flesh.
6 Darahmu akan Kutumpahkan sehingga membasahi gunung-gunung dan memenuhi sungai-sungai.
And I will irrigate the earth with your rotting blood upon the mountains. And the valleys will be filled with you.
7 Pada saat Aku membinasakan engkau, langit akan Kuselubungi dan bintang-bintang akan Kuredupkan. Matahari akan Kusembunyikan di balik awan dan bulan tidak akan bercahaya.
And I will cover heaven, when you will have been extinguished. And I will cause its stars to grow dark. I will shroud the sun with gloom, and the moon will not give her light.
8 Sungguh, segala terang di langit akan Kupadamkan, dan bumi akan Kujadikan gelap gulita. Aku, TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi telah berbicara.
I will cause all the lights of heaven to grieve over you. And I will bring darkness upon your land, says the Lord God, when your wounded will have fallen in the midst of the land, says the Lord God.
9 Pada waktu Aku menyiarkan berita tentang kehancuranmu di negeri-negeri yang belum kaukenal, banyak bangsa akan menjadi cemas.
And I will provoke the heart of many peoples to anger, when I will have led in your destruction among the Gentiles, over the lands that you have not known.
10 Sungguh, Aku akan mengayunkan pedang-Ku dan mengalahkan engkau. Raja-raja dan bangsa-bangsa akan melihat tindakan-Ku itu terhadap engkau. Pada saat itu mereka akan gemetar ketakutan dan menggigil karena takut mati.'"
And I will cause many peoples to be stupefied over you. And their kings will be afraid, with great horror, over you, when my sword will begin to fly above their faces. And suddenly, they will be struck with astonishment, each one concerning his own life, on the day of their ruination.
11 TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi berkata kepada raja Mesir, "Pedang raja Babel akan diacungkan kepadamu.
For thus says the Lord God: The sword of the king of Babylon will come to you.
12 Prajurit-prajurit dari bangsa-bangsa yang kejam akan Kusuruh mencabut pedang mereka dan membantai seluruh rakyatmu. Rakyatmu dan segala apa yang kaubanggakan akan hancur lebur.
By the swords of the strong, I will cast down your multitude. All these nations are invincible, and they will lay waste to the arrogance of Egypt, and so its multitude will be destroyed.
13 Ternakmu akan Kubantai di tepi sungai-sungai tempat mereka minum. Baik manusia maupun hewan tak akan mengeruhkan air sungai itu lagi.
And I will perish all its cattle, which were above the many waters. And the foot of man will no longer disturb them, and the hoof of cattle will no longer trouble them.
14 Maka sungai-sungai di negerimu akan Kujernihkan dan Kubuat mengalir dengan tenang. Aku, TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi telah berbicara.
Then I will cause their waters to be very pure, and their rivers to be like oil, says the Lord God,
15 Bilamana Mesir Kujadikan padang gurun yang sepi, serta Kubinasakan semua yang tinggal di situ, mereka akan tahu bahwa Akulah TUHAN.
when I will have set the land of Egypt in desolation. And the land will be deprived of her plenitude, when I will have struck all its inhabitants. And they shall know that I am the Lord.
16 Peringatan yang keras ini akan menjadi nyanyian kabung. Kaum wanita dari bangsa-bangsa lain akan menyanyikannya sebagai tanda berkabung bagi Mesir dan seluruh rakyatnya. Aku, TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi telah berbicara."
This is the lamentation. And they shall lament it. The daughters of the Gentiles shall lament it. They shall lament it over Egypt and over its multitude, says the Lord God.”
17 Pada tanggal lima belas bulan satu dalam tahun kedua belas masa pembuangan kami, TUHAN berkata lagi kepadaku,
And it happened that, in the twelfth year, on the fifteenth of the month, the word of the Lord came to me saying:
18 "Hai manusia fana, berkabunglah bagi rakyat di Mesir. Kirimlah mereka ke dunia orang mati bersama-sama dengan negeri-negeri kuat lainnya.
“Son of man, sing mournfully over the multitude of Egypt. And cast her down, both her and the daughters of the robust nations, to the lowest part of the earth, with those who descend into the pit.
19 Katakanlah kepada mereka, 'Sangkamu kamukah yang paling jelita? Kamu akan turun ke dunia orang mati, dan dibaringkan di antara orang-orang yang tidak mengenal Allah.'
Whom do you exceed in beauty? Descend and sleep with the uncircumcised!
20 Bangsa Mesir akan mati bersama dengan mereka yang tewas dalam pertempuran. Sebuah pedang sudah siap untuk membunuh mereka semua.
They will fall by the sword in the midst of the slain. The sword has been given. They have dragged her down, with all her people.
21 Pahlawan-pahlawan yang gagah berani dan orang-orang yang berperang di pihak Mesir menyambut dengan gembira kedatangan orang Mesir ke dunia orang mati. Mereka bersorak begini, 'Orang-orang yang tidak mengenal Allah itu telah tewas dalam pertempuran. Sekarang mereka datang ke mari dan berbaring di sini!' (Sheol h7585)
The most powerful among the strong will speak to him from the midst of hell, those who descended with his helpers and who went to sleep uncircumcised, slain by the sword. (Sheol h7585)
22 Asyur berbaring di sana, dikelilingi oleh kuburan prajurit-prajuritnya. Mereka semua telah tewas dalam pertempuran. Kuburan mereka ada di bagian yang paling dalam di dunia orang mati. Ketika masih hidup, mereka menimbulkan ketakutan di dunia.
Assur is in that place, with all his multitude. Their graves are all around him: all of the slain and those who fell by the sword.
Their graves have been placed in the lowest parts of the pit. And his multitude was stationed on all sides of his grave: all of the slain, and those who fell by the sword, who formerly spread terror in the land of the living.
24 Elam ada di sana dengan kuburan prajuritnya di sekelilingnya. Tanpa disunat, mereka semua tewas dalam pertempuran, lalu turun ke dunia orang mati. Ketika hidup, mereka menimbulkan ketakutan, tetapi sekarang mereka telah mati dan harus menanggung malu bersama orang-orang yang telah tewas dalam pertempuran.
Elam is in that place, with all his multitude, on all sides of his grave, all those who were slain or who fell by the sword, who descended uncircumcised to the lowest part of the earth, who caused their terror in the land of the living. And they have borne their disgrace, with those who descend into the pit.
They have appointed him a place to lie among all his people, in the midst of the slain. Their graves are all around him. All these are uncircumcised and were slain by the sword. For they spread their terror in the land of the living, and they have borne their disgrace, with those who descend into the pit. They have been stationed in the midst of the slain.
26 Mesekh dan Tubal ada di situ, dikelilingi oleh kuburan prajurit-prajurit mereka. Tanpa disunat, mereka semua tewas dalam pertempuran. Ketika hidup, mereka menimbulkan ketakutan di dunia.
Meshech and Tubal are in that place, with all their multitude. Their graves are all around him: all these are uncircumcised, and they were slain and fell by the sword. For they spread their terror in the land of the living.
27 Mereka tidak mendapat penguburan secara terhormat seperti pahlawan di zaman dahulu yang turun ke dunia orang mati dengan bersenjata lengkap. Pahlawan-pahlawan itu dikuburkan dengan pedang di bawah kepala dan perisai di atas dada. Waktu masih hidup, pahlawan-pahlawan sungguh perkasa sehingga membuat takut semua orang. (Sheol h7585)
But they shall not sleep with the strong, and with those who also fell uncircumcised, who descended to hell with their weapons, and who placed their swords under their heads, while their iniquities were in their bones. For they were the terror of the strong in the land of the living. (Sheol h7585)
28 Demikianlah orang Mesir akan dikuburkan dan dibaringkan di tengah orang-orang yang tidak mengenal Allah dan tewas dalam pertempuran.
Therefore, you also will be broken in the midst of the uncircumcised, and you will sleep with those who were slain by the sword.
29 Edom ada di sana dengan semua raja dan penguasanya. Dahulu mereka adalah prajurit-prajurit yang kuat, tetapi sekarang mereka terbaring di dunia orang mati bersama dengan orang-orang mati lainnya yang tidak mengenal Allah.
Idumea is in that place, with her kings and all her commanders, who with their army have been given to those who were slain by the sword. And they have slept with the uncircumcised and with those who descend into the pit.
30 Semua pangeran dari utara ada di sana, demikian juga orang-orang Sidon. Dahulu kekuasaan mereka menimbulkan ketakutan, tetapi sekarang mereka dipermalukan dan tanpa disunat turun ke dunia orang mati bersama orang-orang yang tewas dalam pertempuran. Di sana mereka berbaring dan menanggung noda bersama orang-orang yang turun ke dunia orang mati.
All the leaders of the north are in that place, with all the hunters, who were brought down with the slain, fearful and confounded in their strength, who have gone to sleep uncircumcised, with those who were slain by the sword. And they have borne their disgrace, with those who descend into the pit.
31 Bilamana raja Mesir dan tentaranya tiba di dunia orang mati dan melihat semua orang itu yang telah tewas dalam pertempuran, mereka akan merasa terhibur. Aku TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi telah berbicara.
Pharaoh saw them, and he was consoled over all his multitude, which was slain by the sword, even Pharaoh and all his army, says the Lord God.
32 Akulah yang menyebabkan raja Mesir menimbulkan ketakutan pada orang-orang yang hidup, tetapi dia dan tentaranya akan tewas dan dibaringkan bersama semua orang yang tidak mengenal Allah dan gugur dalam pertempuran. Aku TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi telah berbicara."
For I have spread my terror in the land of the living, and he has gone to sleep in the midst of the uncircumcised, with those who were slain by the sword, even Pharaoh and all his multitude, says the Lord God.”
