Yehezkiel 26
1 Pada tahun kesebelas, dalam bulan yang tertentu, pada tanggal satu bulan itu, datanglah firman TUHAN kepadaku:
Almost twelve [after we had been taken to Babylonia], on the first day of the month, Yahweh gave me another message. He said to me,
2 "Hai anak manusia, oleh karena Tirus berkata mengenai Yerusalem: Syukur! Sudah rusak pintu gerbang bangsa-bangsa itu; ia akan beralih kepadaku, sehingga aku menjadi penuh, tetapi ia menjadi reruntuhan.
“You human, [the people of] Tyre [city] shouted joyfully and said about Jerusalem, ‘[Jerusalem, ] the city from which many traders/merchants went to many nations, is now destroyed. And now people from all over the world will come to us to buy and sell things. Because Jerusalem has now been ruined, we will prosper!’
3 Oleh sebab itu beginilah firman Tuhan ALLAH: Lihat, Aku menjadi lawanmu, hai Tirus. Aku akan menyuruh bangkit banyak bangsa melawan engkau, seperti lautan menimbulkan gelombang-gelombangnya.
Therefore, this is what [I, ] Yahweh the Lord, say: ‘I am now the enemy of [you people of] Tyre. I will [the armies of] many nations to come and attack your [city], like the waves of the sea beat against the shores.
4 Mereka akan memusnahkan tembok-tembok Tirus dan meruntuhkan menara-menaranya, debu tanahnya akan Kubuang sampai bersih dari padanya dan akan Kujadikan dia gunung batu yang gundul.
Their soldiers will destroy the walls around Tyre and tear down its towers. Tyre will become a place where people from many nations steal valuable things, [and then the city will be completely destroyed]. Then they will scrape away the rubble and cause the city to become a bare rock.
5 Ia akan menjadi penjemuran pukat di tengah lautan, sebab Aku yang mengatakannya, demikianlah firman Tuhan ALLAH; ia akan menjadi jarahan bagi bangsa-bangsa.
Out in the sea, Tyre will become an island where men spread [their fishing] nets to dry them. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh the Lord, have predicted it.
6 Dan anak-anaknya perempuan, yang tinggal di daratan akan ditewaskan dengan pedang. Dan mereka akan mengetahui bahwa Akulah TUHAN.
The people in small villages on the coast near Tyre will be killed [their enemies’] swords. Then people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].’
7 Sebab beginilah firman Tuhan ALLAH: Sungguh, Aku membawa dari utara raja Nebukadnezar, raja Babel, raja segala raja untuk melawan Tirus dengan memakai kuda, kereta, pasukan berkuda, dan sekumpulan tentara yang banyak.
This is what I, Yahweh the Lord, [is going to happen]: ‘From the north, I am going to bring the most powerful king [in the world], King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, [with his army] to attack Tyre. They will bring horses and chariots, and men who ride the horses [and men who drive the chariots]; it will be a huge army.
8 Anak-anakmu perempuan yang tinggal di daratan akan dibunuhnya dengan pedang; ia akan menimbun tembok pengepungan dan menyusun alat-alat pendobrak dan memasang perisai melawan engkau.
[In the battles in the small villages] on the coast, their soldiers will kill [many] people with their swords. [Then] they will set up devices to batter the wall around the city of Tyre, and they will build a dirt ramp up to the top of the wall, and they will all hold up shields [to protect themselves from arrows being shot from the ground].
9 Tumbukan alat pendobraknya akan dilancarkan terhadap tembok-tembokmu dan menara-menaramu akan dirobohkan dengan beliung-beliungnya.
The king will direct the soldiers who operate the (rams/things) to batter the walls, and who will use their iron bars to tear down the towers in the wall.
10 Kudanya adalah begitu banyak, sehingga engkau akan ditutupi oleh abu; karena derap pasukan berkudanya dan kertak roda keretanya tembok-tembokmu akan gemetar, kalau ia memasuki pintu-pintu gerbangmu seperti orang memasuki kota yang sudah terbuka karena pendobrakan.
The king will have a huge number of horses, [the stamping of their hooves will result in] the city being covered with dust. [It will be as though] the walls will tremble because of the noise made by the horses, the [supply] wagons, and the chariots when they enter the city where the walls have been broken down.
11 Dengan kaki kuda-kudanya ia hendak menginjak-injak semua jalan-jalanmu, rakyatmu akan dibunuh dengan pedang, dan tugu-tugu yang kauandalkan akan dirobohkan ke tanah.
The horses will trample all of the [of the city] with their hooves. The soldiers will kill the people with their swords; and they will cause your strong pillars to (collapse/fall to the ground).
12 Mereka akan merampas kekayaanmu dan menjarah barang-barang perniagaanmu; mereka akan meruntuhkan tembok-tembokmu dan merobohkan rumah-rumahmu yang indah; batumu, kayumu dan tanahmu akan dibuang ke dalam air.
They will take away all the people’s valuable possessions and steal the things that the merchants sell. They will tear down the walls of the houses and destroy their fine houses. Then they will throw into the sea the stones [from the walls] of those houses and the timber and the rubble.
13 Aku akan mengakhiri keramaian nyanyianmu dan suara kecapimu tidak akan kedengaran lagi.
No longer will you sing noisy songs, and people will not play their harps any more.
14 Aku akan menjadikan engkau gunung batu yang gundul dan dengan demikian engkau akan menjadi penjemuran pukat, sehingga engkau tidak akan dibangun kembali, sebab Aku, Tuhanlah yang mengatakannya, demikianlah firman Tuhan ALLAH.
The enemy soldiers will cause the city to become a bare rock and [only] a place where men spread [their fishing] nets. And the city will never be rebuilt. [Those things will surely happen] because [I], Yahweh the Lord, have [that they will happen].’
15 Beginilah firman Tuhan ALLAH kepada Tirus: Apakah daerah pesisir tidak akan gemetar mendengar derum kejatuhanmu, kalau orang-orang yang berebahan mengerang karena pembunuhan bersimaharajalela di tengah-tengahmu?
This is [also] what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say about [the people of] Tyre: ‘When the wounded [people in Tyre] groan and many people are slaughtered and the city is destroyed, [it will surely be as though] [RHQ] the areas along the coast will tremble.
16 Semua pemuka bangsa-bangsa yang di tepi lautan akan turun takhta dan menjauhkan jubah-jubah kerajaannya dan menanggalkan pakaiannya yang berwarna-warna. Mereka akan diliputi kegentaran dan akan duduk di tanah; mereka akan gentar senantiasa dan kaget melihat engkau.
Then all the kings [in the cities] along the coast will step down from their thrones and lay aside their robes and their embroidered clothes. They will be terrified, and they will sit on the ground, trembling. They will be appalled because of what has happened to the city of Tyre.
17 Dan mereka akan mengucapkan suatu ratapan mengenai engkau dan akan mengatakan kepadamu: Bagaimana engkau, hai kota yang terpuja, hilang dari lautan, kota yang berkuasa di laut, engkau dengan pendudukmu, yang menimbulkan ketakutan pada penduduk di daratan?
Then they will sing a sad song about the city, and they will sing this: “The famous city [APO], in which many [who sailed on] the seas lived, is now destroyed! The people of that city had great power [because they had many ships that sailed] on the seas; they caused all the people who lived near them to be terrified.
18 Sekarang, daerah pesisir jadi gentar pada hari jatuhmu, ya, daerah pesisir yang di tepi laut gempar mendengar kesudahanmu.
Now on the day when that city is destroyed, [it is as though the people in] the areas along the coast tremble and the [the people on the] islands in the sea are terrified because of that city being ruined.”’
19 Sebab beginilah firman Tuhan ALLAH: Pada saat Aku menjadikan engkau kota reruntuhan, seperti kota-kota yang tidak berpenduduk lagi, kalau Aku menaikkan pasang samudera raya atasmu dan air banjir menutupi engkau,
This is also what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: ‘When I cause the city [of Tyre] to become desolate/empty, like [other] cities in which people no [longer] live, and when I cause the huge waves of the sea to cover it,
20 maka Aku akan menurunkan engkau, supaya engkau bersama-sama di sana dengan orang-orang yang turun ke liang kubur, kepada bangsa dahulu kala, dan Aku akan membuat engkau tinggal di bumi yang paling bawah seperti reruntuhan dahulu kala, bersama dengan orang-orang yang turun ke liang kubur, supaya engkau jangan lagi didiami orang, dan jangan tampil lagi di negeri orang-orang hidup.
then I will bring the people of that city down to be with those who have gone down to where the dead people are, people who lived long ago. I will cause them to remain in the place below the earth that is like old/ancient ruins, with those who have gone down to that pit [previously], and they will never return to the earth, to where people are alive.
21 Aku menentukan bagimu akhir hidupmu yang mendahsyatkan dan engkau tidak terjumpa lagi. Engkau dicari orang, tetapi tidak ditemui lagi untuk selama-lamanya, demikianlah firman Tuhan ALLAH."
I will cause them to die in a horrible way (OR, people will be very afraid because of what happens to that city), and that will be the end of (them/their lives). People will search for that city but it will no longer exist. [That is what I, ] Yahweh the Lord, declare [will happen].’”
