Yehezkiel 22
1 Datanglah firman TUHAN kepadaku:
Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
2 "Hai engkau, anak manusia, maukah engkau menjatuhkan, ya, menjatuhkan hukuman atas kota yang penuh hutang darah? Beritahukanlah kepadanya segala perbuatannya yang keji,
“You human, are you ready to condemn the people of Jerusalem? It is [RHQ] a city full of murderers [MTY]. Remind them of all the detestable things that they have done.
3 dan katakanlah: Beginilah firman Tuhan ALLAH: Hai kota, yang mencurahkan darah di tengah-tengahmu, sehingga waktu penghukumanmu datang dan membuat berhala-berhala bagimu yang menajiskan dirimu.
[Then] say, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: By your murdering people and by (defiling yourselves/making yourselves unacceptable to God) by making idols, you people of this city [APO] have brought to yourselves the time when you [will be destroyed].
4 Dengan darah yang engkau curahkan engkau bersalah dan dengan berhala-berhalamu yang engkau perbuat engkau menjadi najis; dengan demikian engkau membuat saatmu mendekat dan membuat akhir tahun-tahunmu datang. Oleh karena itu Aku memberi engkau cercaan bagi bangsa-bangsa dan ejekan bagi semua negeri.
You have become guilty by doing both of those things [DOU]. You have brought to an end your time [to remain alive] [DOU]. Therefore I will cause you to become a group whom the [people of other] nations will scorn; they will all laugh at you [DOU].
5 Yang dekat padamu dan yang jauh dari padamu akan mengejek engkau, yang kenajisannya terkenal dan yang penuh huru-hara.
People in countries that are near you and people who live far from you will make fun of you, because your city is full of lawless people and full of confusion.
6 Lihat, masing-masing pemimpin Israel mengandalkan kekuatannya di tengah-tengahmu untuk menumpahkan darah.
Think about how each of your Israeli kings have used their power to cause people to be murdered [MTY].
7 Padamu ayah dan ibu dihina dan di tengah-tengahmu orang melakukan pemerasan terhadap orang asing, padamu anak yatim dan janda ditindas.
Your people do not respect/honor their parents; they have oppressed foreigners; they mistreat orphans and widows.
8 Engkau memandang ringan terhadap hal-hal yang kudus bagi-Ku dan hari-hari Sabat-Ku kaunajiskan.
You despise my sacred places and (dishonor/do not respect) the Sabbath days.
9 Padamu berkeliaran orang-orang pemfitnah dengan maksud mencurahkan darah dan orang makan daging persembahan di atas gunung-gunung; kemesuman dilakukan di tengah-tengahmu.
Among you are men who tell lies in order to cause others to be executed [MTY]. There are those who [food offered to idols] at the hilltop [shrines], and they perform disgusting sexual acts.
10 Padamu orang menyingkapkan aurat isteri ayahnya dan memperkosa perempuan pada waktu cemar kainnya yang menajiskannya.
There are men who have sex with their father’s wives [EUP], and men who have sex with women during their monthly menstrual periods.
11 Yang satu melakukan kekejian dengan isteri sesamanya dan yang lain menajiskan menantunya perempuan dengan perbuatan mesum, orang lain lagi memperkosa saudaranya perempuan, anak kandung ayahnya.
There are men who have sex with someone else’s wife. Some men have sex with their daughters-in-law or with their sisters or half-sisters.
12 Padamu orang menerima suap untuk mencurahkan darah, engkau memungut bunga uang atau mengambil riba dan merugikan sesamamu dengan pemerasan, tetapi Aku kaulupakan, demikianlah firman Tuhan ALLAH.
There are among you men who accept bribes in order to cause someone to be executed [MTY]. You charge high interest when you lend people money. You become rich by forcing people to give you money. [the worst thing is that] you have forgotten me, Yahweh the Lord.
13 Sungguh, Aku bertepuk tangan mengenai keuntunganmu yang haram yang kaudapati dan mengenai darah yang dicurahkan di tengah-tengahmu.
So I will shake my fists at you to show that I am angry with you because of your stealing money from people and murdering [MTY] people who live among you.
14 Apakah hatimu akan tetap teguh dan tanganmu merasa kuat pada masa Aku bertindak terhadap engkau? Aku, TUHAN, yang mengatakannya dan yang akan membuatnya.
When I [punishing] you, you will no longer [RHQ] be courageous/brave [DOU]. I, Yahweh, have said [what I will do to you], and I will do it.
15 Aku akan menyerakkan engkau di antara bangsa-bangsa dan menghamburkan engkau ke semua negeri dan Aku akan mengikis kenajisanmu dari padamu.
I will cause you to be scattered among many nations [DOU], and I will cause you to stop your sinful behavior.
16 Maka engkau akan dinajiskan di hadapan bangsa-bangsa karena kesalahanmu sendiri, dan engkau akan mengetahui bahwa Akulah TUHAN."
When [the people of other] nations see that you have been humiliated, you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].’”
17 Lalu datanglah firman TUHAN kepadaku:
Yahweh [also] said to me,
18 "Hai anak manusia, bagi-Ku kaum Israel sudah menjadi sanga; mereka semuanya adalah ibarat tembaga, timah putih, besi dan timah hitam di dalam peleburan; mereka seperti sanga perak.
“You human, your Israeli people [MTY] have [useless] to me. They are [like] [MET] dross/slag to me. They are like [SIM] [worthless] copper, tin, iron, and lead that remains after silver is melted in [very hot] furnace.
19 Sebab itu beginilah firman Tuhan ALLAH: Oleh karena kamu semuanya menjadi sanga, maka sungguh, Aku akan mengumpulkan kamu di tengah-tengah Yerusalem.
Therefore, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: Because you have all become [like] dross/slag, I will gather you in Jerusalem.
20 Seperti orang mengumpulkan perak, tembaga, besi, timah hitam dan timah putih di dalam peleburan dan mengembus api di bawahnya untuk meleburnya, demikianlah Aku akan mengumpulkan kamu dalam murka-Ku dan amarah-Ku dan menaruh kamu di dalamnya dan melebur kamu.
People [ore containing] silver, copper, iron, lead, and tin in a [very hot] furnace and melt them in a blazing [to burn up the impurities]. Similarly [SIM], I will gather you [inside Jerusalem], and because I am very angry with you, [what I will do will be as though] I am melting you.
21 Aku akan mengumpulkan kamu dan menyemburkan api kemurkaan-Ku kepadamu, sehingga kamu dilebur di dalamnya.
[It will be as though] I will blow on you with a hot breath that shows that I am very angry, [it will be as though] you will be melted,
22 Seperti perak dilebur dalam peleburan, begitulah kamu dilebur di dalamnya. Dan kamu akan mengetahui, bahwa Aku, TUHAN, yang mencurahkan amarah-Ku atasmu."
as though you will be melted like [SIM] silver is melted in a furnace, and then you will know that I, Yahweh, have poured out my punishment [MTY] on you.”
23 Kemudian datanglah firman TUHAN kepadaku:
Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
24 "Hai anak manusia, katakanlah kepadanya: Engkau adalah tanah yang tidak menerima hujan, tidak mendapat air pada masa kegeraman,
“You human, say to the Israeli people, ‘[Yahweh] is angry with you, there has been no rain or showers in your country.’
25 yang pemimpin-pemimpinnya di tengah-tengahnya seperti singa yang mengaum, yang menerkam mangsanya: manusia ditelan, harta benda dan barang-barang yang berharga dirampas, janda-janda dibuat bertambah-tambah di tengah-tengahnya.
Your leaders are like [SIM] lions that tear apart the animals that they have killed. Your leaders destroy their people. They steal treasures and [other] valuable things from people, and they cause many women to become [by murdering their husbands].
26 Imam-imamnya memperkosa hukum Taurat-Ku dan menajiskan hal-hal yang kudus bagi-Ku, mereka tidak membedakan antara yang kudus dengan yang tidak kudus, tidak mengajarkan perbedaan yang najis dengan yang tahir, mereka menutup mata terhadap hari-hari Sabat-Ku. Demikianlah Aku dinajiskan di tengah-tengah mereka.
Their priests disobey my laws and disrespect my sacred things by saying that there is no difference between things that are sacred and those that are not sacred, and by ignoring my laws about honoring the Sabbath days. As a result, they no [longer] honor me.
27 Pemuka-pemukanya di tengah-tengahnya adalah seperti serigala-serigala yang menerkam mangsanya dalam kehausan akan darah, yang membinasakan orang-orang untuk menguntungkan diri sendiri secara haram.
Their officials are like [SIM] wolves that tear apart the animals that they have killed: They murder people [DOU] in order to get their money.
28 Dan nabi-nabinya mengoles mereka dengan kapur dengan melihat penglihatan yang menipu dan memberi tenungan bohong bagi mereka; nabi-nabi itu berkata: Beginilah firman Tuhan ALLAH! --tetapi TUHAN tidak berfirman.
Their prophets, by falsely saying they have received [from God], and by giving false messages, try to (cover up [MET]/say that it is all right to commit) those sins. They say, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says,’ when I have said nothing to them.
29 Penduduk negeri melakukan pemerasan dan perampasan, menindas orang sengsara dan miskin dan mereka melakukan pemerasan terhadap orang asing bertentangan dengan hukum.
The Israeli people force others to give them money, and they rob people. They oppress poor [DOU] people, and they mistreat foreigners among them by not treating them [in the courts].
30 Aku mencari di tengah-tengah mereka seorang yang hendak mendirikan tembok atau yang mempertahankan negeri itu di hadapan-Ku, supaya jangan Kumusnahkan, tetapi Aku tidak menemuinya.
I looked among them to find a man who would cause the people of the city to repent [MET] so that I would not need to get rid of them. But I did not find anyone.
31 Maka Aku mencurahkan geram-Ku atas mereka dan membinasakan mereka dengan api kemurkaan-Ku; kelakuan mereka Kutimpakan atas kepala mereka, demikianlah firman Tuhan ALLAH."
So because I am very angry with them, I will severely punish them [MTY] for [all] the wicked things that they have done. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh the Lord, have said it.”
