Yehezkiel 16

1 Lalu datanglah firman TUHAN kepadaku:

Yahweh gave me another message. He said,

2 "Hai anak manusia, beritahukanlah kepada Yerusalem perbuatan-perbuatannya yang keji

“You human, cause the people of Jerusalem to think about their detestable behavior.

3 dan katakanlah: Beginilah firman Tuhan ALLAH kepada Yerusalem: Asalmu dan kelahiranmu ialah dari tanah Kanaan; ayahmu ialah orang Amori dan ibumu orang Heti.

Say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says to you people of Jerusalem: [It is as though you are a woman who] [MET] was born in the country where the Canaan people-group lived. [It is as though] [MET] your father belonged to the Amor people-group and your mother belonged to the Heth people-group.

4 Kelahiranmu begini: Waktu engkau dilahirkan, pusatmu tidak dipotong dan engkau tidak dibasuh dengan air supaya bersih; juga dengan garampun engkau tidak digosok atau dibedungi dengan lampin.

[It is as though] [MET] on the day that you were born, your umbilical cord was not cut, and your body was not washed in water, and it was not rubbed with salt or wrapped in strips of cloth, [like Israeli babies always are].

5 Tidak seorangpun merasa sayang kepadamu sehingga diperbuatnya hal-hal itu kepadamu dari rasa belas kasihan; malahan engkau dibuang ke ladang, oleh karena orang pandang enteng kepadamu pada hari lahirmu.

No one pitied you or acted kindly toward you by doing those things for you. Instead, [it was as though] [MET] you were thrown into a field, because on the day that you were born, you were despised {everyone despised you}.

6 Maka Aku lalu dari situ dan Kulihat engkau menendang-nendang dengan kakimu sambil berlumuran darah dan Aku berkata kepadamu dalam keadaan berlumuran darah itu: Engkau harus hidup

Then [it was as though] [MET] I passed by and saw you lying in your own blood and kicking. And while you lay there kicking in your own blood, I said to you, “I want you to remain alive!”

7 dan jadilah besar seperti tumbuh-tumbuhan di ladang! Engkau menjadi besar dan sudah cukup umur, bahkan sudah sampai pada masa mudamu. Maka buah dadamu sudah montok, rambutmu sudah tumbuh, tetapi engkau dalam keadaan telanjang bugil.

[It was as though] I caused you to grow up, like plants in the field grow; you grew up and became tall and became like [MET] a very beautiful jewel. [It was as though] [MET] your breasts (formed/became large), and your hair became long, although you were still naked [DOU].

8 Maka Aku lalu dari situ dan Aku melihat engkau, sungguh, engkau sudah sampai pada masa cinta berahi. Aku menghamparkan kain-Ku kepadamu dan menutupi auratmu. Dengan sumpah Aku mengadakan perjanjian dengan engkau, demikianlah firman Tuhan ALLAH, dan dengan itu engkau Aku punya.

When I saw you several years later, [it was as though] [MET] I saw that you were old enough to have sex [EUP]. So [it was as though] [MET] I spread the corner of my robe over [to symbolize that I would marry you], with the result that you were no longer naked. I solemnly promised [that I would marry you] and made a marriage agreement with you, and you became my wife. That is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say.

9 Aku membasuh engkau dengan air untuk membersihkan darahmu dari padamu dan Aku mengurapi engkau dengan minyak.

[And then it was as though] [MET] I bathed you and washed the blood from you and put ointment on your body.

10 Aku mengenakan pakaian berwarna-warna kepadamu dan memberikan engkau sandal-sandal dari kulit lumba-lumba dan tutup kepala dari lenan halus dan selendang dari sutera.

[It was as though] [MET] I put a fine linen robe on you and gave you other expensive clothes. I put an embroidered dress on you and put leather sandals on your feet.

11 Dan Aku menghiasi engkau dengan perhiasan-perhiasan dan mengenakan gelang pada tanganmu dan kalung pada lehermu.

[It was as though] [MET] I put bracelets on your arms and a necklace around your neck. Those things all had nice jewels fastened to them.

12 Dan Aku mengenakan anting-anting pada hidungmu dan anting-anting pada telingamu dan mahkota kemuliaan di atas kepalamu.

I put a gold ring in your nose and fastened earrings to your ears and put a beautiful crown on your head.

13 Dengan demikian engkau menghias dirimu dengan emas dan perak, pakaianmu lenan halus dan sutera dan kain berwarna-warna; makananmu ialah tepung yang terbaik, madu dan minyak dan engkau menjadi sangat cantik, sehingga layak menjadi ratu.

So [it was as though] you wore gold and silver ornaments. You had clothes made from fine (linen/white cloth) and other expensive embroidered material/cloth. You ate [bread made from] fine flour, honey, and olive oil. You became very beautiful, like [MET] a queen.

14 Dan namamu termasyhur di antara bangsa-bangsa karena kecantikanmu, sebab sangat sempurna adanya, oleh karena semarak perhiasan-Ku yang Kuberikan kepadamu, demikianlah firman Tuhan ALLAH."

You were very beautiful, with the result that people in other nations heard about you, because they knew that I, Yahweh the Lord, am the one who had caused you to become very beautiful.

15 "Tetapi engkau mengandalkan kecantikanmu dan engkau seumpama bersundal dalam menganggarkan ketermasyhuranmu dan engkau menghamburkan persundalanmu kepada setiap orang yang lewat.

But [it was as though] [MET] you realized that because people knew that you were very beautiful, you could [earn a lot of money by] becoming a prostitute. [It was as though] you had sex with [EUP] every man who came along, and they all enjoyed your beauty.

16 Engkau mengambil dari pakaian-pakaianmu untuk membuat bukit-bukit pengorbananmu berwarna-warni dan engkau bersundal di situ; seperti itu belum pernah terjadi dan tidak akan ada lagi.

[It was as though] you took some of your clothes to make beautifully decorated shrines, and that is where you had sex with those men. Those things should certainly never occur!

17 Engkau mengambil juga perhiasan-perhiasanmu yang dibuat dari emas-Ku dan perak-Ku, yang Kuberikan kepadamu, dan engkau membuat bagimu patung-patung lelaki dan engkau bersundal dengan mereka.

You took the fine gold and silver jewelry that I gave you, and you made male idols for yourself, in order to have sex with them.

18 Engkau mengambil dari pakaianmu yang berwarna-warni untuk menutupi mereka dan engkau mempersembahkan kepada mereka minyak-Ku dan ukupan-Ku.

You took some of your embroidered clothes to put on those idols, and you burned oil and incense in front of them [to honor them].

19 Juga makanan-Ku yang Kuberikan kepadamu--tepung yang terbaik, minyak dan madu Kuberikan makananmu--engkau persembahkan kepada mereka menjadi persembahan yang harum, demikianlah firman Tuhan ALLAH.

And the [bread that was made from] fine flour and the olive oil and honey that I gave to you to eat, you offered to be a fragrant sacrifice to those idols. I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that is what happened.

20 Bahkan, engkau mengambil anak-anakmu lelaki dan perempuan yang engkau lahirkan bagi-Ku dan mempersembahkannya kepada mereka menjadi makanan mereka. Apakah persundalanmu ini masih perkara enteng

And you even took your sons and daughters who were [as though they were] [MET] my children, and sacrificed them to be food for the idols. That was much worse [RHQ] than your becoming a prostitute.

21 bahwa engkau menyembelih anak-anak-Ku dan menyerahkannya kepada mereka dengan mempersembahkannya sebagai korban dalam api?

You slaughtered [those who were like] [MET] my children, and offered them to be sacrifices to the gods!

22 Dalam segala perbuatan-perbuatanmu yang keji dan persundalanmu itu engkau tidak teringat lagi kepada masa mudamu, waktu engkau telanjang bugil sambil menendang-nendang dengan kakimu dalam lumuran darahmu.

All during the time when you were acting like a prostitute and doing other detestable things, you did not think about the time when [it was as though] you were very young, naked [DOU], lying in your own blood and kicking.

23 Dan sesudah segala kejahatanmu itu--celaka, celakalah engkau! Demikianlah firman Tuhan ALLAH--

So I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that terrible things will happen to you. In addition to all the other wicked things that you did,

24 engkau membangun bagimu tempat yang tinggi dan membuat bagimu bukit pengorbanan di tiap-tiap tanah lapang.

you built a shrine to worship idols in every [city] square/plaza.

25 Pada setiap persimpangan jalan engkau membangun bukit pengorbanan dan menjual kecantikanmu menjadi kekejian dengan merenggangkan kedua pahamu bagi setiap orang yang lewat, sehingga persundalanmu bertambah-tambah.

At the beginning of every street you built a shrine, and showed people your beautiful body, offering it to have sex with every man who walked by, becoming a better known prostitute every day.

26 Engkau bersundal dengan orang Mesir, tetanggamu, si aurat besar itu, sehingga persundalanmu bertambah-tambah, yang menimbulkan sakit hati-Ku.

[It was as though] [MET] you had sex with men from Egypt who were eager to have sex with you, men who lived near to Israel. You caused me to become very angry because you became more eager to have sex with more and more of them.

27 Lihat, Aku telah melawan engkau dan telah mengurangi bagianmu dan menyerahkan engkau kepada kesewenang-wenangan orang-orang yang membenci engkau, yaitu perempuan-perempuan Filistin, yang merasa malu melihat tingkah lakumu yang mesum itu.

So I punished [IDM] you and caused your enemies to capture some of your country. I enabled your greedy enemies from Philistia to defeat you; and even they were shocked because of your disgraceful behavior.

28 Engkau bersundal juga dengan orang Asyur, oleh karena engkau belum merasa puas; ya, engkau bersundal dengan mereka, tetapi masih belum merasa puas.

[It was as though] you had sex with soldiers from Assyria, too, because you always wanted more sex. And after that, you still were not satisfied.

29 Engkau memperbanyak lagi persundalanmu dengan negeri perdagangan Kasdim, tetapi dengan itu juga engkau belum merasa puas.

So you also had sex [with soldiers from] Babylonia, a country full of merchants/businessmen, but even that did not satisfy you.

30 Betapa besar hawa nafsumu itu, demikianlah firman Tuhan ALLAH, engkau yang melakukan segala-galanya ini, yaitu perbuatan seorang perempuan sundal jahanam,

I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that when you did all those things, acting like [MET] a bold prostitute, you were showing that you were ready to do anything that you wanted to [IDM].

31 yang membangun tempatmu yang tinggi pada setiap persimpangan jalan dan membuat bukit pengorbananmu di tiap-tiap tanah lapang. Tetapi engkau tidak seperti sundal biasa, oleh karena engkau menolak upah sundal.

When you built shrines to worship idols on every street corner and in every city square/plaza, you were not like a prostitute: Prostitutes charge money, but you refused to take money for what you did.

32 Hai isteri yang berzinah, yang memeluk orang-orang lain ganti suaminya sendiri.

You are like [MET] a woman who commits adultery: You prefer to [have sex with] strangers rather than with your husband.

33 Kepada semua perempuan sundal orang memberi upah, tetapi engkau sebaliknya, engkau yang memberi hadiah umpan kepada semua yang mencintai engkau sebagai bujukan, supaya mereka dari sekitarmu datang kepadamu untuk bersundal.

Prostitutes are paid, but [it is as though] you give gifts to all your lovers; you bribe them to come to you from everywhere to have sex with you.

34 Maka dalam persundalanmu engkau adalah kebalikan dari perempuan-perempuan yang lain; bukan orang yang mengejar engkau hendak bersundal; tetapi engkau yang memberi upah persundalan, sedang engkau tidak diberi apa-apa; itulah kebalikannya padamu.

So although you act like [MET] a prostitute, you are not like other prostitutes: No one needs to request you to have sex [EUP] with them. You are the opposite of other prostitutes; instead of them giving any money to you, you give men money to have sex with you.

35 Oleh karena itu, hai perempuan sundal, dengarkanlah firman TUHAN!

Therefore, [you people of] Jerusalem, who are like a prostitute [MET], listen to what I, Yahweh the Lord, am saying about you!

36 Beginilah firman Tuhan ALLAH: Oleh karena engkau menghamburkan kemesumanmu dan auratmu disingkapkan dalam persundalanmu dengan orang yang mencintaimu dan dengan berhala-berhalamu yang keji dan oleh karena darah anak-anakmu yang engkau persembahkan kepada mereka,

I say that [what you have done is as though] [MET] you took off your clothes and acted like a prostitute and had sex with men who are not your husband. [What I mean is that you have been worshiping] detestable idols, and you have murdered [MTY] your own children to be sacrifices to them.

37 sungguh, oleh karena itu Aku akan mengumpulkan semua kekasihmu, yaitu yang merayu hatimu, baik yang engkau cintai maupun yang engkau benci; Aku akan mengumpulkan mereka dari sekitarmu untuk melawan engkau dan Aku akan menyingkapkan auratmu di hadapan mereka, sehingga mereka melihat seluruh kemaluanmu.

So [what I am going to do is as though] I will gather those who you think have loved you and those whom you hated. I will gather them around you [to attack you], and [what I will do is as though] I will strip your clothes off you, and they will see you when you are completely naked.

38 Aku akan menghakimi engkau seperti orang menghakimi perempuan-perempuan yang berzinah dan yang menumpahkan darah dan Aku akan melampiaskan atasmu murka dan cemburuan-Ku.

I will punish you like women who commit adultery and who murder people [MTY] are punished. I will get revenge on you and get rid of you because I am extremely angry with you.

39 Aku akan menyerahkan engkau di dalam tangan mereka dan mereka akan meruntuhkan tempatmu yang tinggi dan merusakkan bukit-bukitmu, mereka akan menelanjangi engkau, akan merampas perhiasan-perhiasanmu dan membiarkan engkau telanjang bugil.

I will allow [your enemies who you thought] loved you [IRO] to defeat you, and they will tear down your shrines. [It will be as though] they will strip off your fancy clothes and take away your fine jewelry and cause you to be completely naked [DOU].

40 Mereka akan menyuruh bangkit sekumpulan orang melawan engkau, yang melempari engkau dengan batu dan memancung engkau dengan pedang-pedang mereka.

They will bring a mob to attack you, and that mob will throw stones at you and cut you to pieces with their swords.

41 Mereka akan membakar rumah-rumahmu dan menjatuhkan hukuman kepadamu di hadapan banyak perempuan. Dengan demikian Aku membuat engkau berhenti bersundal dan upah sundal tidak akan kauberikan lagi.

They will burn down your houses and punish you while many women are watching. I will cause your acting like a prostitute and paying your lovers to have sex with you to end.

42 Demikianlah Aku melampiaskan murka-Ku kepadamu sehingga cemburu-Ku kepadamu reda kembali; barulah Aku merasa tenang dan tidak sakit hati lagi.

Then I will no longer be angry [DOU] with you. I will stop being jealous [because of your worshiping gods other than me only].

43 Oleh karena engkau tidak teringat lagi kepada masa mudamu, tetapi dengan semuanya ini membuat Aku gemetar kemarahan, sungguh, Aku juga akan menimpakan kelakuanmu atas kepalamu, demikianlah firman Tuhan ALLAH. Bukankah engkau melakukan kemesuman ini lagi di samping segala perbuatan-perbuatanmu yang keji?

You have forgotten [the wonderful things that I did for you] in previous years [MET]. You have caused me to become extremely angry because of all the [evil things] that you have done. In addition to all the other detestable things that you did, you committed many sexual sins. So I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that I will punish you [IDM] for doing those things.

44 Lihat, setiap penyair akan mengatakan sindiran ini mengenai engkau: Begitu ibu, begitu anak!

People who [like to] quote proverbs will quote this proverb about you: “[behave] like their mothers [behave].”

45 Anak ibumu engkau, yang jijik melihat suaminya dan anak-anaknya lelaki, dan adik kakak-kakakmu perempuan engkau, yang jijik melihat suami-suami mereka dan anak-anak mereka lelaki. Ibumu adalah orang Heti dan ayahmu adalah orang Amori.

You are like your mother; [it was as though] she detested her husband and her children. You are like your sisters, who also despised their husbands and their children. [It was as though] [MET] your father belonged to the Amor people-group and your mother belonged to the Heth people-group.

46 Kakakmu yang tertua ialah Samaria, yang beserta anak-anaknya perempuan diam di sebelah utaramu, dan kakakmu yang termuda ialah Sodom, yang beserta anak-anaknya perempuan diam di sebelah selatanmu.

And [it was as though] [MET] your older sister was Samaria, and she and her daughters lived to the north of you, and [it was as though] your younger sister was Sodom, and she and her daughters lived to the south of you.

47 Bukankah engkau hidup menurut perbuatan mereka dan engkau lakukan seperti perbuatan-perbuatan mereka yang keji; sebentar lagi saja engkau berbuat lebih jahat dari mereka dalam seluruh hidupmu.

You not only imitated all [DOU] their detestable behavior, but you quickly became more sinful than they were.

48 Demi Aku yang hidup, demikianlah firman Tuhan ALLAH, sesungguh-sungguhnya Sodom, kakakmu yang termuda beserta anak-anaknya perempuan tidak berbuat seperti engkau lakukan beserta anak-anakmu perempuan.

I, Yahweh the Lord, solemnly declare that as surely as I am alive, [the people who lived in] [MTY] Sodom and other nearby cities never did the detestable things that you [people in Jerusalem and other places in Judah] have done.

49 Lihat, inilah kesalahan Sodom, kakakmu yang termuda itu: kecongkakan, makanan yang berlimpah-limpah dan kesenangan hidup ada padanya dan pada anak-anaknya perempuan, tetapi ia tidak menolong orang-orang sengsara dan miskin.

These are the sins [the people who lived in] Sodom, who were like your sister [MET]: The people who lived there and in nearby cities were arrogant. In spite of having more food to eat than they needed, they refused to help the poor and needy [DOU] people among them.

50 Mereka menjadi tinggi hati dan melakukan kekejian di hadapan-Ku; maka Aku menjauhkan mereka sesudah Aku melihat itu.

The people of Sodom and nearby cities [MET] were proud and did detestable things in my presence, so I got rid of them when I saw what they had been doing.

51 Dan Samaria tidak membuat setengahpun dari dosa-dosamu, bahkan engkau melakukan lebih banyak kekejian dari mereka berdua, sehingga dengan segala kekejian-kekejianmu yang engkau lakukan, engkau membuat kakak-kakakmu perempuan kelihatan benar.

Also, [the people of] Samaria did not commit half as many sins as you have committed. You have done more disgusting things than they have done. You cause the people of Samaria to appear to be good, compared to you.

52 Tanggunglah nodamu, hai engkau, yang mengakibatkan hukuman lebih ringan kepada kakak-kakakmu perempuan; dengan dosa-dosamu yang lebih keji dari mereka, mereka lebih benar dari padamu. Biarlah engkau merasa malu dan tanggunglah nodamu, oleh karena engkau membuat kakak-kakakmu perempuan kelihatan benar."

Your sins are worse than their sins, so they seem to be less wicked than you are. So I will punish you more than I punished them. As a result, you will be ashamed and disgraced [DOU].

53 "Tetapi Aku akan memulihkan keadaan mereka, baik keadaan Sodom bersama anak-anaknya perempuan maupun keadaan Samaria bersama anak-anaknya perempuan, dan juga Aku akan memulihkan keadaanmu di tengah-tengah mereka,

However, [some day] I will [the people of] Sodom and Samaria and the cities near to them [MET] to prosper again. And I will cause you to prosper again, too.

54 supaya engkau menanggung nodamu dan supaya engkau merasa malu karena segala perbuatanmu, sehingga engkau menjadi penghiburan bagi mereka.

You will be very ashamed [DOU] of the wicked things that you have done, and that will cause the people of those cities to be encouraged.

55 Mengenai kakak-kakakmu, Sodom bersama anak-anaknya perempuan akan dipulihkan ke dalam keadaannya semula; Samaria juga bersama anak-anaknya perempuan akan dipulihkan ke dalam keadaannya semula; dan engkaupun bersama anak-anakmu perempuan akan dipulihkan ke dalam keadaanmu semula.

[The people of] Sodom and Samaria will prosper again, and you and the people in nearby cities will prosper also.

56 Bukankah Sodom, kakakmu yang termuda, menjadi buah bibirmu pada masa kecongkakanmu,

You (sneered at/despised) [the people of] Sodom when you were proud,

57 sebelum kejahatanmu menjadi nyata, seperti pada saat ini engkau diaibkan oleh anak-anak perempuan Edom dengan semua yang di sekitarnya dan anak-anak perempuan Filistin, yang menghina engkau dari sekitarmu?

before it was revealed that you were very wicked. And now [the people of] Edom and [the people of] Philistia all insult you and despise you.

58 Kemesumanmu dan perbuatan-perbuatanmu yang keji harus engkau tanggung, demikianlah firman TUHAN.

And you are being punished for all your immoral behavior and other detestable things that you do.

59 Sebab beginilah firman Tuhan ALLAH: Aku akan melakukan kepadamu seperti engkau lakukan, yaitu engkau memandang ringan kepada sumpah dengan mengingkari perjanjian.

This is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: I will continue to punish you like you deserve to be punished, because by rejecting the agreement that I made with you, you have despised that solemn agreement that you promised to obey.

60 Tetapi Aku akan mengingat perjanjian-Ku dengan engkau pada masa mudamu dan Aku akan meneguhkan bagimu perjanjian yang kekal.

But I will not forget the agreement that I made with you long ago [MET], and I will make an agreement with you that will endure forever.

61 Barulah engkau teringat kepada kelakuanmu dan engkau merasa malu, pada waktu Aku mengambil kakak-kakakmu, baik yang tertua maupun yang termuda, dan memberikan mereka kepadamu menjadi anakmu, tetapi bukan berdasarkan engkau memegang perjanjian.

Then you will think about what you have done, and you will be ashamed about those things when you welcome [the people of] Sodom and Samaria, cities which are like [MET] older and younger sisters to you people of Jerusalem. I will [put them under your control by] causing them to become like [MET] your daughters, but they will not have the same agreement that I will make with you.

62 Aku akan meneguhkan perjanjian-Ku dengan engkau, dan engkau akan mengetahui bahwa Akulah TUHAN,

I will establish my agreement with you, and you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].

63 dan dengan itu engkau akan teringat-ingat yang dulu dan merasa malu, sehingga mulutmu terkatup sama sekali karena nodamu, waktu Aku mengadakan pendamaian bagimu karena segala perbuatanmu, demikianlah firman Tuhan ALLAH."

Then when I have forgiven you for all your sins, you will think about all the sins that you committed and you will be ashamed, and you will never again [boast about them], because you will be humiliated.’”
