Ezekiel 36
1 You human, prophesy about the mountains in Israel. Say to them, “You mountains in Israel, listen to what Yahweh says.
"Hai engkau, anak manusia, bernubuatlah mengenai gunung-gunung Israel dan katakanlah: Hai gunung-gunung Israel, dengarlah firman TUHAN!
2 This is what Yahweh the Lord says: Your enemies [happily] said about you, ‘Aha! The mountains in Israel that have existed for a long time have become ours!’”
Beginilah firman Tuhan ALLAH: Oleh karena musuh itu berkata mengenai kamu: Syukur! Bukit-bukit dari dahulu kala sudah menjadi milik kita.
3 Therefore prophesy about those mountains and say, “This is what Yahweh the Lord declares: [Armies of other nations] attacked you [DOU] from every direction, with the result that your land became abandoned, and people of other nations occupied you, and they spoke maliciously about you and slandered you.
Oleh karena itu bernubuatlah dan katakan: Beginilah firman Tuhan ALLAH: Oleh karena, ya sungguh karena musuh dari sekitarmu menjadikan kamu sunyi sepi dan mengingini kamu, supaya kamu menjadi milik sisa bangsa-bangsa, dan oleh karena kamu menjadi buah mulut orang dan banyak dipergunjingkan,
4 Therefore, you mountains in Israel, listen to this message from me. I, Yahweh the Lord, have something to say to the hills and mountains, to the ravines and valleys, to the deserted ruins and towns whose valuable possessions have been taken and their people ridiculed by the people of other nations around them. This is what I, Yahweh the Lord, declare: I am very angry [DOU] with the people of Edom and other nations; they have forced you [Israeli people] to endure them insulting you.
oleh karena itu, hai gunung-gunung Israel, dengarlah firman Tuhan ALLAH kepada gunung-gunung dan bukit-bukit, kepada alur-alur sungai dan lembah-lembah, kepada reruntuhan-reruntuhan yang sunyi sepi dan kepada kota-kota yang sudah ditinggalkan, yang sudah menjadi jarahan dan olok-olokan bagi sisa bangsa-bangsa yang di sekitarnya;
oleh karena itu beginilah firman Tuhan ALLAH: Aku pasti berfirman dalam api cemburuan-Ku melawan sisa bangsa-bangsa dan melawan seluruh Edom, yang menentukan tanah-Ku menjadi miliknya dengan segala rasa sukacita dan rasa penghinaan, sehingga tanah-Ku itu dimilikinya dan dapat habis dijarah.
Oleh karena itu bernubuatlah mengenai tanah Israel dan katakanlah kepada gunung-gunung dan bukit-bukit, kepada alur-alur sungai dan lembah-lembah: Beginilah firman Tuhan ALLAH: Sungguh, Aku berfirman dalam amarah cemburuan-Ku, oleh karena kamu sudah menanggung noda yang ditimbulkan bangsa-bangsa.
7 Therefore, this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: Lifting up my arm, I solemnly declare that the people of the nations that are around you will also endure being insulted.
Oleh sebab itu beginilah firman Tuhan ALLAH: Aku bersumpah bahwa bangsa-bangsa yang di sekitarmu sendiri pasti akan menanggung noda mereka.
8 But [I say to] you mountains in Israel that huge crops of fruit will grow on your trees for my Israeli people, because they will soon return home [from Babylonia].
Maka kamu, gunung-gunung Israel, akan bertunas kembali dan akan memberi buah untuk umat-Ku Israel, sebab mereka akan segera kembali.
9 I (am concerned about/will take care of) you, and I will bless you. I will [enable farmers to] plow the ground and plant seed there.
Hati-Ku akan baik kembali dan Aku akan berpaling kepadamu dan kamu akan dikerjakan dan ditaburi.
10 I will cause the number of people who live on you mountains and everywhere else in Israel to greatly increase. People will live in the towns and rebuild [houses where there are now only] ruins.
Aku akan membuat manusia banyak di atasmu, yaitu segenap kaum Israel dalam keseluruhannya; kota-kota akan didiami lagi dan reruntuhan-reruntuhan akan dibangun kembali.
11 I will cause the number of people and domestic animals to increase. People will have many children [IDM, DOU]. I will enable people to live there like they did previously, and I will enable them to prosper like they did before. Then you will know that it is I, Yahweh, [who have the power to do what I say that I will do].
Aku akan membuat manusia dan binatang banyak di atasmu, dan mereka akan bertambah banyak dan beranak cucu dan Aku akan membuat kamu didiami kembali seperti keadaan semula dan akan berbuat baik kepadamu lebih dari pada keadaan dahulu. Dan kamu akan mengetahui bahwa Akulah TUHAN.
12 I will enable my Israeli people to walk through your mountains. They will own you; you will be their permanent possession. Never again will their children die.
Aku akan membuat manusia lalu-lalang di atasmu yaitu umat-Ku Israel; mereka akan menduduki engkau dan engkau akan menjadi milik pusaka mereka dan engkau tidak lagi terus memunahkan mereka.
13 This is also what I, Yahweh the Lord, say to you: People say that [only a small amount of food is produced on your mountains, and as a result the people of Israel] die from hunger.
Beginilah firman Tuhan ALLAH: Oleh karena orang berkata tentangmu: Engkau memakan orang dan engkau memunahkan bangsamu--
14 Therefore, I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that no longer will that happen.
oleh karena itu engkau tidak akan makan orang lagi dan tidak akan memunahkan bangsamu lagi, demikianlah firman Tuhan ALLAH.
15 No longer will the people of other nations ridicule you; no longer will they laugh at you; no longer will [the armies of] other nations conquer you. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have declared that it will happen.”
Aku tidak lagi membiarkan orang membicarakan noda yang ditimbulkan bangsa-bangsa terhadap engkau dan engkau tidak lagi menanggung pencelaan bangsa-bangsa dan tidak lagi memunahkan bangsamu, demikianlah firman Tuhan ALLAH."
16 Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
Kemudian datanglah firman TUHAN kepadaku:
17 “You human, when the Israeli people were living in their own land, they (defiled it/caused it to become unacceptable to me) by the things that they did. I considered that their behavior was [disgusting], like [SIM] the rags/cloths that women use during their monthly menstrual periods.
"Hai anak manusia, waktu kaum Israel tinggal di tanah mereka, mereka menajiskannya dengan tingkah laku mereka; kelakuan mereka sama seperti cemar kain di hadapan-Ku.
18 So I severely punished [MTY] them, because they had murdered [MTY] many people and because they had defiled the land by [worshiping] idols there.
Maka Aku mencurahkan amarah-Ku ke atas mereka karena darah yang dicurahkan mereka di tanah itu, sedang tanah itu mereka najiskan dengan berhala-berhala mereka.
19 I caused them to be scattered among many nations [DOU]. I punished [MTY] them like they deserved to be punished because of their very evil behavior [DOU].
Aku menghamburkan mereka di antara bangsa-bangsa, sehingga mereka berserak-serak di semua negeri, Aku menghakimi mereka selaras dengan tingkah lakunya.
20 And wherever they went among those nations, they caused my reputation [MTY] to be disgraced. What has happened is that the people in those countries said about the Israeli people, ‘They belong to Yahweh, but they were forced to leave the land that he [gave to them].’
Di mana saja mereka datang di tengah bangsa-bangsa, mereka menajiskan nama-Ku yang kudus, dalam hal orang menyindir mereka: Katanya mereka umat TUHAN, tetapi mereka harus keluar dari tanah-Nya.
21 But I was concerned about my reputation, which the people of Israel had disgraced among the nations to which they were forced to go.
Aku merasa sakit hati karena nama-Ku yang kudus yang dinajiskan oleh kaum Israel di tengah bangsa-bangsa, di mana mereka datang.
22 Therefore, say to the Israeli people, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: You Israeli people, it is not for your sake that I am going to do these things. Instead, it is for the sake of my sacred reputation, which you have disgraced among the nations to which you were forced to go.
Oleh karena itu katakanlah kepada kaum Israel: Beginilah firman Tuhan ALLAH: Bukan karena kamu Aku bertindak, hai kaum Israel, tetapi karena nama-Ku yang kudus yang kamu najiskan di tengah bangsa-bangsa di mana kamu datang.
23 I will show that my reputation is sacred, a reputation which you have disgraced among the nations to which you were forced to go. And when I show the nations that I am holy, the people of those nations will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
Aku akan menguduskan nama-Ku yang besar yang sudah dinajiskan di tengah bangsa-bangsa, dan yang kamu najiskan di tengah-tengah mereka. Dan bangsa-bangsa akan mengetahui bahwa Akulah TUHAN, demikianlah firman Tuhan ALLAH, manakala Aku menunjukkan kekudusan-Ku kepadamu di hadapan bangsa-bangsa.
24 What I will do is to bring you back from those nations. I will gather you from all the countries [to which you were forced to go], and bring you back to your own land.
Aku akan menjemput kamu dari antara bangsa-bangsa dan mengumpulkan kamu dari semua negeri dan akan membawa kamu kembali ke tanahmu.
25 [It will be as though] [MET] I will sprinkle clean water on you, and then you will be clean. I will cause you to be cleansed from everything that has defiled you, and I will cause you to stop worshiping idols.
Aku akan mencurahkan kepadamu air jernih, yang akan mentahirkan kamu; dari segala kenajisanmu dan dari semua berhala-berhalamu Aku akan mentahirkan kamu.
26 I will give you a completely new way of thinking [IDM]. I will enable you to stop being stubborn [IDM], and I will enable you to obey me from your inner beings [IDM].
Kamu akan Kuberikan hati yang baru, dan roh yang baru di dalam batinmu dan Aku akan menjauhkan dari tubuhmu hati yang keras dan Kuberikan kepadamu hati yang taat.
27 I will put my Spirit within you and enable you to carefully obey all my laws [DOU].
Roh-Ku akan Kuberikan diam di dalam batinmu dan Aku akan membuat kamu hidup menurut segala ketetapan-Ku dan tetap berpegang pada peraturan-peraturan-Ku dan melakukannya.
28 You will again live in the land that I gave to your ancestors. You will be my people, and I will be your God.
Dan kamu akan diam di dalam negeri yang telah Kuberikan kepada nenek moyangmu dan kamu akan menjadi umat-Ku dan Aku akan menjadi Allahmu.
29 I will free you from all your disgraceful behavior. I will cause your grain to be plentiful, and I will not send a famine to you again.
Aku akan melepaskan kamu dari segala dosa kenajisanmu dan Aku akan menumbuhkan gandum serta memperbanyaknya, dan Aku tidak lagi mendatangkan kelaparan atasmu.
30 I will cause your fruit trees to produce plenty of fruit and your ground to produce plenty of good crops, with the result that you will no longer be ridiculed by the people of other nations because of your not having enough food.
Aku juga memperbanyak buah pohon-pohonanmu dan hasil ladangmu, supaya kamu jangan lagi menanggung noda kelaparan di tengah bangsa-bangsa.
31 When that happens, you will think about your previous evil behavior and wicked deeds, and you will (be very displeased with/hate) yourselves for your sins and the detestable things that you did.
Dan kamu akan teringat-ingat kepada kelakuanmu yang jahat dan perbuatan-perbuatanmu yang tidak baik dan kamu akan merasa mual melihat dirimu sendiri karena kesalahan-kesalahanmu dan perbuatan-perbuata yang keji.
32 But I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that I want you to know that it is not for your sake that I will do those things. You Israeli people ought to be ashamed of your behavior.
Bukan karena kamu Aku bertindak, demikianlah firman Tuhan ALLAH, ketahuilah itu. Merasa malulah kamu dan biarlah kamu dipermalukan karena kelakuanmu, hai kaum Israel.
33 This is also what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: At the time that I forgive you for all the sins that you have committed, I will enable you to live in your towns again and to build houses where there are now only ruins.
Beginilah firman Tuhan ALLAH: Pada hari Aku mentahirkan kamu dari segala kesalahanmu, Aku akan membuat kota-kota didiami lagi dan reruntuhan-reruntuhan akan dibangun kembali.
34 People who walk through your country will see that your land is again cultivated instead of (being desolate/having nothing growing in it).
Tanah yang sudah lama tinggal tandus akan dikerjakan kembali, supaya jangan lagi tetap tandus di hadapan semua orang yang lintas dari padamu.
35 They will say, “This land that was ruined has become [very fertile/productive] like [SIM] the garden of Eden! The cities that were piles of ruins, empty and destroyed, now have walls around them, and people live in those cities.”
Sebaliknya mereka akan berkata: Tanah ini yang sudah lama tinggal tandus menjadi seperti taman Eden dan kota-kota yang sudah runtuh, sunyi sepi dan musnah, sekarang didiami dan menjadi kubu.
36 When that happens, the people in the nations that are around you that still exist will know that it is I, Yahweh, who have enabled you to rebuild what was destroyed, and to again plant crops in the fields that had nothing growing in them. I, Yahweh, have said [that it will happen], and I will cause it to happen.
Dan bangsa-bangsa yang tertinggal, yang ada di sekitarmu akan mengetahui, bahwa Akulah TUHAN, yang membangun kembali yang sudah musnah dan menanami kembali yang sudah tandus. Aku, TUHAN, yang mengatakannya dan akan membuatnya.
37 This is also what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: Again I will heed what you Israeli people are pleading for me to do for you. I will cause your people to be as numerous as your sheep,
Beginilah firman Tuhan ALLAH: Dalam hal ini juga Aku menginginkan, supaya kaum Israel meminta dari pada-Ku apa yang hendak Kulakukan bagi mereka, yaitu membuat mereka banyak seperti lautan manusia.
38 as numerous as the flocks of sheep that will be needed for offerings in Jerusalem during your regular festivals. The cities that are now ruined will be filled with people, and then you will know that I, Yahweh the Lord, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].’”
Seperti domba-domba persembahan kudus, dan seumpama domba-domba Yerusalem pada waktu-waktu perayaannya, begitulah kota-kota yang sudah runtuh penuh dengan lautan manusia. Dengan begitu mereka akan mengetahui bahwa Akulah TUHAN."
