Yehezkiel 28
1 Maka datanglah firman TUHAN kepadaku:
The LORD’s word came again to me, saying,
2 "Hai anak manusia, katakanlah kepada raja Tirus: Beginilah firman Tuhan ALLAH: Karena engkau menjadi tinggi hati, dan berkata: Aku adalah Allah! Aku duduk di takhta Allah di tengah-tengah lautan. Padahal engkau adalah manusia, bukanlah Allah, walau hatimu menempatkan diri sama dengan Allah.
“Son of man, tell the prince of Tyre, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Because your heart is lifted up, and you have said, ‘I am a god, I sit in the seat of God, in the middle of the seas;’ yet you are man, and no god, though you set your heart as the heart of a god—
3 Memang hikmatmu melebihi hikmat Daniel; tiada rahasia yang terlindung bagimu.
behold, you are wiser than Daniel. There is no secret that is hidden from you.
4 Dengan hikmatmu dan pengertianmu engkau memperoleh kekayaan. Emas dan perak kaukumpulkan dalam perbendaharaanmu.
By your wisdom and by your understanding you have gotten yourself riches, and have gotten gold and silver into your treasuries.
5 Karena engkau sangat pandai berdagang engkau memperbanyak kekayaanmu, dan karena itu engkau jadi sombong.
By your great wisdom and by your trading you have increased your riches, and your heart is lifted up because of your riches—”
6 Oleh sebab itu beginilah firman Tuhan ALLAH: Karena hatimu menempatkan diri sama dengan Allah
“‘therefore the Lord GOD says: “Because you have set your heart as the heart of God,
7 maka, sungguh, Aku membawa orang asing melawan engkau, yaitu bangsa yang paling ganas, yang akan menghunus pedang mereka, melawan hikmatmu yang terpuja; dan semarakmu dinajiskan.
therefore, behold, I will bring strangers on you, the terrible of the nations. They will draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom. They will defile your brightness.
8 Engkau diturunkannya ke lobang kubur, engkau mati seperti orang yang mati terbunuh di tengah lautan.
They will bring you down to the pit. You will die the death of those who are slain in the heart of the seas.
9 Apakah engkau masih akan mengatakan di hadapan pembunuhmu: Aku adalah Allah!? Padahal terhadap kuasa penikammu engkau adalah manusia, bukanlah Allah.
Will you yet say before him who kills you, ‘I am God’? But you are man, and not God, in the hand of him who wounds you.
10 Engkau akan mati seperti orang tak bersunat oleh tangan orang asing. Sebab Aku yang mengatakannya, demikianlah firman Tuhan ALLAH."
You will die the death of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers; for I have spoken it,” says the Lord GOD.’”
11 Lalu datanglah firman TUHAN kepadaku:
Moreover the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
12 "Hai anak manusia, ucapkanlah suatu ratapan mengenai raja Tirus dan katakanlah kepadanya: Beginilah firman Tuhan ALLAH: Gambar dari kesempurnaan engkau, penuh hikmat dan maha indah.
“Son of man, take up a lamentation over the king of Tyre, and tell him, ‘The Lord GOD says: “You were the seal of full measure, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
13 Engkau di taman Eden, yaitu taman Allah penuh segala batu permata yang berharga: yaspis merah, krisolit dan yaspis hijau, permata pirus, krisopras dan nefrit, lazurit, batu darah dan malakit. Tempat tatahannya diperbuat dari emas dan disediakan pada hari penciptaanmu.
You were in Eden, the garden of God. Every precious stone adorned you: ruby, topaz, emerald, chrysolite, onyx, jasper, sapphire, turquoise, and beryl. Gold work of tambourines and of pipes was in you. They were prepared in the day that you were created.
14 Kuberikan tempatmu dekat kerub yang berjaga, di gunung kudus Allah engkau berada dan berjalan-jalan di tengah batu-batu yang bercahaya-cahaya.
You were the anointed cherub who covers. Then I set you up on the holy mountain of God. You have walked up and down in the middle of the stones of fire.
15 Engkau tak bercela di dalam tingkah lakumu sejak hari penciptaanmu sampai terdapat kecurangan padamu.
You were perfect in your ways from the day that you were created, until unrighteousness was found in you.
16 Dengan dagangmu yang besar engkau penuh dengan kekerasan dan engkau berbuat dosa. Maka Kubuangkan engkau dari gunung Allah dan kerub yang berjaga membinasakan engkau dari tengah batu-batu yang bercahaya.
By the abundance of your commerce, your insides were filled with violence, and you have sinned. Therefore I have cast you as profane out of God’s mountain. I have destroyed you, covering cherub, from the middle of the stones of fire.
17 Engkau sombong karena kecantikanmu, hikmatmu kaumusnahkan demi semarakmu. Ke bumi kau Kulempar, kepada raja-raja engkau Kuserahkan menjadi tontonan bagi matanya.
Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty. You have corrupted your wisdom by reason of your splendor. I have cast you to the ground. I have laid you before kings, that they may see you.
18 Dengan banyaknya kesalahanmu dan kecurangan dalam dagangmu engkau melanggar kekudusan tempat kudusmu. Maka Aku menyalakan api dari tengahmu yang akan memakan habis engkau. Dan Kubiarkan engkau menjadi abu di atas bumi di hadapan semua yang melihatmu.
By the multitude of your iniquities, in the unrighteousness of your commerce, you have profaned your sanctuaries. Therefore I have brought out a fire from the middle of you. It has devoured you. I have turned you to ashes on the earth in the sight of all those who see you.
19 Semua di antara bangsa-bangsa yang mengenal engkau kaget melihat keadaanmu. Akhir hidupmu mendahsyatkan dan lenyap selamanya engkau."
All those who know you among the peoples will be astonished at you. You have become a terror, and you will exist no more.”’”
20 Lalu datanglah firman TUHAN kepadaku:
The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
21 "Hai anak manusia, tujukanlah mukamu kepada Sidon dan bernubuatlah melawan dia
“Son of man, set your face toward Sidon, and prophesy against it,
22 dan katakanlah: Beginilah firman Tuhan ALLAH: Lihat, Aku menjadi lawanmu, hai Sidon, dan Aku menyatakan kemuliaan-Ku di tengah-tengahmu. Dan mereka akan mengetahui bahwa Akulah TUHAN, pada saat Aku menjatuhkan hukuman atasnya dan menunjukkan kekudusan-Ku terhadap dia.
and say, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Behold, I am against you, Sidon. I will be glorified among you. Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I have executed judgments in her, and am sanctified in her.
23 Aku akan mendatangkan sampar atasnya dan darah akan mengalir di jalan-jalannya dan orang-orang akan mati rebah di tengah-tengahnya karena pedang yang datang dari sekitarnya melawan dia. Dan mereka akan mengetahui bahwa Akulah TUHAN.
For I will send pestilence into her, and blood into her streets. The wounded will fall within her, with the sword on her on every side. Then they will know that I am the LORD.
24 Dan tidak akan ada lagi bagi kaum Israel dari semua tetangganya yang menghina mereka, menjadi duri yang menusuk atau onak yang memedihkan. Dan mereka akan mengetahui bahwa Akulah Tuhan ALLAH.
“‘“There will no longer be a pricking brier to the house of Israel, nor a hurting thorn of any that are around them that scorned them. Then they will know that I am the Lord GOD.”
25 Beginilah firman Tuhan ALLAH: Pada saat Aku mengumpulkan kaum Israel dari tengah suku-suku bangsa, di mana mereka berserak dan Aku menunjukkan kekudusan-Ku kepada mereka di hadapan bangsa-bangsa, maka mereka akan diam di tanah mereka yang telah Kuberikan kepada hamba-Ku Yakub.
“‘The Lord GOD says: “When I have gathered the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered, and am shown as holy among them in the sight of the nations, then they will dwell in their own land which I gave to my servant Jacob.
26 Mereka akan diam di sana dengan aman tenteram, mereka akan membangun rumah dan membuat kebun anggur. Ya, mereka akan diam dengan aman tenteram pada saat Aku menjatuhkan hukuman atas semua tetangganya yang menghina mereka. Dan mereka akan mengetahui bahwa Akulah TUHAN, Allah mereka."
They will dwell in it securely. Yes, they will build houses, plant vineyards, and will dwell securely when I have executed judgments on all those around them who have treated them with contempt. Then they will know that I am the LORD their God.”’”
