< Yehezkiel 32 >

1 Pada tahun kedua belas, dalam bulan yang kedua belas, pada tanggal satu bulan itu, datanglah firman TUHAN kepadaku:
Almost twelve years [after we had been taken to Babylonia], on the first day of the twelfth month [of that year], Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
2 "Hai anak manusia, ucapkanlah suatu ratapan mengenai Firaun, raja Mesir dan katakanlah kepadanya: Engkau menyamakan dirimu dengan singa muda di antara bangsa-bangsa. Tetapi engkau seperti buaya di laut; sungai-sungaimu kaubuat berbuih, engkau mengeruhkan airnya dengan kaki dan menggelompar dalam lumpur sungainya.
“You human, sing a sad/funeral song about the king of Egypt. Sing this to him: ‘You [think that you] [IRO] are like [SIM] a lion among the nations; or like [SIM] a monster/crocodile in the river thrashing around in the water, churning/stirring up the water with your feet and causing the water to become muddy.
3 Beginilah firman Tuhan ALLAH: Aku memasang jaringku menangkap engkau dengan sekumpulan bangsa-bangsa yang banyak, dan mengangkat engkau di dalam pukat-Ku.
But this is what Yahweh the Lord says: “I will send many people to throw my net over you, and they will haul/drag you up [onto the land] in my net.
4 Kuhempaskan engkau ke tanah, Kulemparkan engkau ke padang. Dan ke atasmu Kusuruh hinggap segala burung di udara, dengan dagingmu Kukenyangkan binatang-binatang seluruh bumi.
They will throw you into a field [DOU] [to die]; I will allow the birds to sit on you, and all the wild animals will eat the flesh of your corpse until their stomachs are full.
5 Dagingmu Kubiarkan berhamburan di atas pegunungan, lembah-lembah Aku penuhi dengan bangkai-bangkaimu.
I will cause them to scatter your flesh on the hills and fill the valleys with your bones.
6 Bumi Kuberi minum darahmu yang mengalir, ya, juga gunung-gunung; dan alur-alur sungai akan penuh dengannya.
I will cause them to fill the land with your blood, all the way to the mountains, and the ravines will be filled with your flesh.
7 Waktu Aku membinasakan engkau, langit akan Kututup dan bintangnya Kubuat berkabut. Matahari Kututup dengan awan dan bulan, cahayanya tak disinarkan.
When I get rid of you, I will cover the sky and not allow the stars to shine. I will put a dark cloud in front of the sun, and the moon will not shine.
8 Semua yang bersinar di langit akan Kugelapkan demi engkau. Kegelapan Kudatangkan atas tanahmu, demikianlah firman Tuhan ALLAH.
I will cause the stars in the sky to be dark, and there will be darkness over your entire land; [that will surely happen because] I, Yahweh the Lord, have said it.
9 Aku menggelisahkan hati banyak bangsa, kalau Aku membawa kamu sebagai tawanan di tengah bangsa-bangsa, ke negeri-negeri yang belum kamu kenal.
And when the people of many nations hear about your being destroyed, many of them will be afraid/worried— people living in countries that you have never known about.
10 Aku akan membuat banyak bangsa kaget melihat engkau, dan raja-rajanya akan menggigil melihatmu, kalau Aku menetak-netakkan pedang-Ku di hadapan mereka. Mereka akan gentar, terus-menerus, masing-masing demi hidupnya, pada hari kesudahanmu.
I will cause many people to be appalled because of [what has happened to] you, and their kings will be horrified and shudder/shake because of your [being destroyed], when I swing my sword in front of them. At the time that you will be destroyed, all of them will tremble, fearing that they also will be killed.”
11 Sebab beginilah firman Tuhan ALLAH: Pedang raja Babel akan datang atasmu.
This is what Yahweh the Lord says: “The swords of [the army of] the King of Babylon will strike you.
12 Aku akan membuat khalayak pengikutmu berebahan oleh pedang para pahlawan, semuanya yang terganas di antara bangsa-bangsa. Kecongkakan Mesir akan dipatahkan dan khalayak pengikutnya semua dipunahkan.
I will cause very many of your people to be killed by the swords of mighty soldiers [from Babylonia], who are more ruthless/cruel than the soldiers of all other nations. They will cause the people of Egypt to quit being proud, because very many [HYP] of their people will be killed.
13 Semua binatangnya akan Kubinasakan dari tepi sungai-sungai besar; kaki manusia tidak lagi mengeruhkannya dan di dalamnya tiada hewan menggelompar.
I will destroy all the cattle in Egypt that (graze/eat grass) alongside the streams. As a result, the water in those streams will never again become muddy because of people and cattle walking in them.
14 Maka airnya akan Kujernihkan, sungai-sungainya akan Kubuat mengalir seperti minyak, demikianlah firman Tuhan ALLAH.
Then I will allow the streams in Egypt to become calm again and flow [as smoothly] [SIM] as olive oil flows.
15 Pada saat Mesir Kujadikan sunyi sepi, juga habis dilenyapkan segala isi negeri dan semua penduduknya habis Kumusnahkan, mereka akan tahu bahwa Akulah TUHAN.
When I cause Egypt to become empty/desolate and strip off everything that grows on the land, and when I get rid of all the people who live there, people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”’
16 Inilah ratapan yang seharusnya dinyanyikan; kaum perempuan bangsa-bangsa akan menyanyikannya; mereka akan menyanyikannya atas Mesir dan atas seluruh rakyatnya yang banyak, demikianlah firman Tuhan ALLAH."
That sad song about Egypt will also be sung by the people. Women of many nations will sing it. They will chant it about Egypt and all its people; [that will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said that it would happen.”
17 Pada tahun kedua belas, dalam bulan pertama, pada tanggal lima belas bulan itu, datanglah firman TUHAN kepadaku:
On the fifteenth day of that same month, Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
18 "Hai anak manusia, perdengarkanlah suatu ratapan--engkau bersama kaum perempuan bangsa-bangsa yang hebat--mengenai khalayak ramai di Mesir dan turunkanlah mereka ke bumi yang paling bawah menjumpai mereka yang telah turun ke liang kubur.
“You human, wail about the many people of Egypt, because I will send them to the place under the earth, where they and people of other mighty nations will be. I will send them there, along with others, down to the place where the dead are.
19 Dari siapakah engkau lebih cantik? Turunlah dan berbaringlah bersama orang-orang yang tidak bersunat!
Say to them, ‘You people of [APO] Egypt, [you think that] [IRO, RHQ] you are more beautiful than the people of other nations. But you also will descend to the place where the godless dead people are.
20 Mereka akan rebah di tengah orang-orang yang mati terbunuh oleh pedang dan seluruh rakyatnya yang banyak akan telentang bersama dia.
[Your enemies] will pull out their swords and kill many of you. A huge number of the people of Egypt who remain will be dragged away.
21 Orang-orang berkuasa yang gagah perkasa beserta pembantu-pembantunya akan berbicara mengenai dia dari tengah dunia orang mati: Mereka telah turun dan telentang, orang-orang yang tidak bersunat itu, yang mati terbunuh oleh pedang. (Sheol h7585)
In the place where the dead people are, mighty leaders [of other countries] will [make fun of the people of Egypt] and say, “They have come here to lie with us godless people who were killed by our enemies’ swords!”’ (Sheol h7585)
22 Di situ Asyur dengan semua sekutunya, sekelilingnya terdapat kuburnya; mereka semuanya mati terbunuh, rebah oleh pedang.
[The corpses of the people of] Assyria will be there. They will be surrounded by [corpses of] soldiers who were killed by [their enemies’] swords.
23 Kuburnya ditentukan pada bagian yang terdalam dari liang dan kumpulan pengikutnya terdapat sekeliling kuburnya; mereka semuanya mati terbunuh, rebah oleh pedang, yaitu yang menimbulkan ketakutan di dunia orang-orang hidup.
The people’s graves are there in the deep pit, and [corpses of soldiers of] their army lie around their graves. Corpses of all those who had caused many others in other places to be terrified also will be there, having been killed by swords.
24 Di situ Elam dan sekeliling kuburnya seluruh rakyatnya yang banyak; mereka semuanya mati terbunuh, rebah oleh pedang, yaitu yang tanpa disunat turun ke bumi yang paling bawah, yang dari pihaknya menimbulkan ketakutan di dunia orang-orang hidup. Mereka menanggung nodanya bersama orang-orang yang turun ke liang kubur.
A great number of the people of Elam will be there. They also were killed by [their enemies’] swords. They had caused people in many places [HYP] to be terrified. At that time they will lie there in that deep pit below the earth, and they, along with the others who have gone there, will be disgraced.
25 Di tengah orang-orang yang mati terbunuh disediakan tempat tidur baginya dengan seluruh rakyatnya yang banyak sekeliling kuburnya; mereka semuanya orang-orang yang tidak disunat, mati terbunuh oleh pedang. Oleh sebab ketakutan terhadap mereka sudah ditimbulkan di dunia orang-orang hidup, dan mereka menanggung nodanya bersama orang-orang yang turun ke liang kubur; mereka ditempatkan di tengah orang-orang yang mati terbunuh.
They will lie there among others who were slaughtered, surrounded by the graves of a huge crowd of other people. While they were alive, they caused people of other nations to be terrified; but they were godless, and now, having been killed by [their enemies] swords, they will lie with others in that deep pit, disgraced, all of them avoiding each other.
26 Di situ Mesekh dan Tubal dengan seluruh rakyatnya yang banyak sekeliling kuburnya; mereka semuanya orang-orang yang tidak disunat, mati terbunuh oleh pedang, sebab mereka menimbulkan ketakutan di dunia orang-orang hidup.
[Corpses of] soldiers of Meshech and Tubal will be there, surrounded by the graves of a huge crowd of their people. They were all godless people who were killed by swords because while they were alive, they also caused people in many places [HYP] to be terrified.
27 Mereka tidak dibaringkan bersama pahlawan-pahlawan yang mati rebah pada zaman dahulu, yang turun ke dunia orang mati bersama segala senjata perangnya dan yang pedang-pedangnya ditaruh orang di bawah kepalanya serta perisai-perisainya terletak di atas tulang-tulangnya; sebab ketakutan terhadap pahlawan-pahlawan itu meliputi dunia orang-orang hidup. (Sheol h7585)
They will surely [RHQ] not be buried honorably like the soldiers who have died, whose shields were buried with their corpses, whose swords were placed on their skulls in the graves. While those godless people were alive, they had caused many people in the land to be terrified, so they were punished for their sins. (Sheol h7585)
28 Engkau akan telentang di tengah orang-orang yang tidak bersunat bersama orang-orang yang mati terbunuh oleh pedang.
You king of Egypt, you also be killed and will lie there with other godless people who have been killed by [their enemies’] swords.
29 Di situ Edom, raja-rajanya dan semua pemimpinnya, yang ditempatkan dekat orang-orang yang mati terbunuh oleh pedang, walaupun mereka kuat; mereka dibaringkan dekat orang-orang yang tidak disunat dan dekat orang-orang yang turun ke liang kubur.
People of the Edom people-group will be there, along with their kings and leaders. They were powerful, but they will [be killed and] lie there in the place where the other dead people are. They will lie there in that deep pit, with the other godless people.
30 Di situ pemimpin-pemimpin dari utara, semuanya mereka, dan semua orang Sidon, yang dengan malu turun dekat orang-orang yang mati terbunuh, walaupun dengan kekuatannya mereka sudah menimbulkan ketakutan terhadap mereka; mereka dibaringkan tanpa disunat dekat orang-orang yang mati terbunuh oleh pedang dan mereka menanggung nodanya bersama orang-orang yang turun ke liang kubur.
All the rulers of countries north [of Israel], including people from Sidon, will be there. Because of their power, they caused people to be terrified, but they will lie there. They were godless, and they will lie there along with others who were killed by [their enemies’] swords. They, along with everyone else who descends into that deep pit, will be disgraced.
31 Firaun akan melihat mereka semuanya dan ia akan merasa terhibur dengan nasib khalayak ramai yang mengikutinya. Firaun mati terbunuh oleh pedang dengan seluruh tentaranya, demikianlah firman Tuhan ALLAH.
The king of Egypt and all his army will see them, and they will be comforted to know that there were other huge groups of people who were killed by [their enemies’] swords.
32 Oleh karena ia menimbulkan ketakutan di dunia orang-orang hidup, maka ia dibaringkan di tengah orang-orang yang tidak disunat, dekat orang yang mati terbunuh oleh pedang. Firaun dengan seluruh khalayak ramai yang mengikutinya, demikianlah firman Tuhan ALLAH."
While he was living, I allowed him to cause others in many countries to be terrified, but he and his huge army will be there among other godless people who had been killed by [their enemies’] swords. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh the Lord, am the one who has said [that it would happen].”
