Deuteronomy 2
1 Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea, as Jehovah spoke to me. And we encompassed mount Seir many days.
Akhirnya kita kembali ke padang gurun lewat jalan yang menuju ke Teluk Akaba, seperti yang diperintahkan TUHAN. Lama kita mengembara di daerah pegunungan Edom.
2 And Jehovah spoke to me, saying,
Lalu TUHAN berkata kepada saya
3 Ye have encompassed this mountain long enough, turn northward.
bahwa sudah cukup lama kita mengembara di daerah itu. Jadi kita harus pergi ke utara.
4 And command thou the people, saying, Ye are to pass through the border of your brothers the sons of Esau, who dwell in Seir, and they will be afraid of you. Take ye good heed to yourselves therefore.
Kemudian TUHAN menyuruh saya memberi petunjuk-petunjuk ini kepadamu, 'Tidak lama lagi kamu akan memasuki negeri Edom, daerah saudara-saudaramu, keturunan Esau. Mereka akan takut kepadamu,
5 Do not contend with them, for I will not give you of their land, no, not so much as for the sole of the foot to tread on, because I have given mount Seir to Esau for a possession.
tetapi kamu tak boleh menyerang mereka, sebab dari tanah mereka sedikit pun tak akan Kuberikan kepadamu, karena daerah Edom sudah Kuberikan kepada keturunan Esau.
6 Ye shall purchase food from them for money, that ye may eat, and ye shall also buy water from them for money, that ye may drink.
Kamu boleh membeli makanan dan minuman dari mereka.'
7 For Jehovah thy God has blessed thee in all the work of thy hand. He has known thy walking through this great wilderness. These forty years Jehovah thy God has been with thee; thou have lacked nothing.
Ingatlah bagaimana TUHAN Allahmu telah memberkati kamu dalam segala yang kamu lakukan. Ia memelihara kamu selama kamu mengembara di padang gurun yang luas ini. Ia melindungi kamu selama empat puluh tahun ini dan memberi segala yang kamu perlukan.
8 So we passed by from our brothers the sons of Esau, who dwell in Seir, from the way of the Arabah from Elath and from Ezion-geber. And we turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab.
Kemudian kita berjalan terus, meninggalkan jalan yang melalui kota-kota Elat dan Ezion-Geber menuju ke Laut Mati, lalu belok ke timur laut menuju Gurun Moab.
9 And Jehovah said to me, Do not vex Moab, neither contend with them in battle, for I will not give thee of his land for a possession, because I have given Ar to the sons of Lot for a possession.
TUHAN berkata kepada saya, 'Orang Moab, keturunan Lot, tak boleh kamu ganggu. Jangan juga menyerang mereka. Negeri Ar telah Kuberikan kepada mereka dan dari tanah mereka sedikit pun tak akan Kuberikan kepadamu.'"
10 (The Emim dwelt in it formerly, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakim.
(Dahulu Ar didiami oleh orang Emim. Mereka besar perawakannya, sama dengan orang Enak, juga bangsa raksasa.
11 These also are accounted Rephaim, as the Anakim, but the Moabites call them Emim.
Seperti orang Enak, mereka juga disebut orang Refaim, akan tetapi orang Moab menamakan mereka orang Emim.
12 The Horites also dwelt in Seir formerly, but the sons of Esau succeeded them. And they destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their stead, as Israel did to the land of his possession, which Jehovah gave to them.)
Dahulu orang Hori tinggal di Edom, tetapi diusir dan dimusnahkan oleh keturunan Esau, yang kemudian menduduki tanah mereka; begitu juga bangsa Israel di kemudian hari mengusir musuh-musuhnya dari tanah yang diberikan TUHAN kepada mereka.)
13 Now rise up, and get you over the brook Zered. And we went over the brook Zered.
"Kemudian kita menyeberangi Sungai Zered seperti yang diperintahkan TUHAN kepada kita.
14 And the days in which we came from Kadesh-barnea, until we came over the brook Zered, were thirty-eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were consumed from the midst of the camp, as Jehovah swore to them.
Itu terjadi tiga puluh delapan tahun sesudah kita meninggalkan Kades-Barnea. Semua prajurit dari angkatan itu sudah mati seperti yang dikatakan TUHAN.
15 Moreover the hand of Jehovah was against them, to destroy them from the midst of the camp, until they were consumed.
TUHAN terus-menerus melawan mereka sampai akhirnya mereka semua binasa.
16 So it came to pass, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people,
Sesudah mereka semua mati,
17 that Jehovah spoke to me, saying,
TUHAN berkata kepada kita,
18 Thou are this day to pass over Ar, the border of Moab.
'Hari ini kamu melalui daerah Moab, lewat negeri Ar.
19 And when thou come near opposite the sons of Ammon, do not vex them, nor contend with them, for I will not give thee of the land of the sons of Ammon for a possession, because I have given it to the sons of Lot for a possession.
Maka kamu sampai ke dekat tanah orang Amon, keturunan Lot. Janganlah mengganggu atau menyerang mereka, sebab dari tanah yang sudah Kuberikan kepada mereka, sedikit pun tak ada yang akan Kuberikan kepadamu.'"
20 (That also is accounted a land of Rephaim. Rephaim dwelt in it formerly, but the Ammonites call them Zamzummim,
(Daerah itu juga terkenal sebagai negeri Refaim, nama bangsa yang dahulu tinggal di situ; oleh orang Amon mereka dinamakan orang Zamzumim.
21 a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakim. But Jehovah destroyed them before them, and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead,
Seperti orang Enak, mereka juga besar perawakannya. Mereka sangat kuat, dan jumlahnya banyak. Tetapi TUHAN membinasakan mereka, sehingga orang Amon merebut tanah itu, lalu berdiam di situ.
22 as he did for the sons of Esau, who dwell in Seir, when he destroyed the Horites from before them. And they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead even to this day.
Begitu juga dilakukan TUHAN untuk orang Edom, keturunan Esau, yang mendiami daerah pegunungan Edom. TUHAN membinasakan orang Hori, sehingga orang Edom merebut tanah itu dan mendudukinya, lalu menetap di situ sampai sekarang.
23 And the Avvim, who dwelt in villages as far as Gaza, the Caphtorim, who came forth out of Caphtor, destroyed them, and dwelt in their stead.)
Tanah di sepanjang pantai Laut Tengah diduduki orang-orang dari pulau Kreta. Mereka telah membinasakan orang Awi, penduduk asli tanah itu, lalu menduduki daerah itu sampai ke selatan sejauh kota Gaza.)
24 Rise ye up, take your journey, and pass over the valley of the Arnon. Behold, I have given into thy hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land. Begin to possess it, and contend with him in battle.
"Sesudah kita melewati daerah Moab, TUHAN berkata kepada kita, 'Pergilah sekarang menyeberangi Sungai Arnon. Aku akan menyerahkan kepadamu Sihon, raja Amori yang memerintah di Hesybon, bersama-sama dengan negerinya. Seranglah dia, lalu dudukilah tanahnya.
25 This day I will begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of thee upon the peoples who are under the whole heaven, who shall hear the report of thee, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of thee.
Mulai hari ini Aku akan membuat kamu ditakuti bangsa-bangsa di mana saja. Setiap orang akan gemetar ketakutan bila mendengar tentang kamu.'"
26 And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,
"Kemudian saya mengirim beberapa utusan dari padang gurun Kedemot kepada Raja Sihon dari Hesybon untuk menyampaikan usul perdamaian ini:
27 Let me pass through thy land. I will go along by the highway, I will turn neither to the right hand nor to the left.
'Izinkan kami melalui negeri Tuanku. Kami akan berjalan terus dan tidak menyimpang dari jalan raya.
28 Thou shall sell me food for money, that I may eat, and give me water for money, that I may drink. Only let me pass through on my feet,
Kami akan membayar makanan yang kami makan dan air yang kami minum. Kami hanya perlu melalui negeri ini,
29 as the sons of Esau who dwell in Seir, and the Moabites who dwell in Ar, did to me, until I shall pass over the Jordan into the land which Jehovah our God gives us.
sampai kami menyeberangi Sungai Yordan untuk masuk ke negeri yang diberikan TUHAN Allah kami kepada kami. Keturunan Esau yang tinggal di Edom dan orang Moab yang tinggal di Ar juga sudah mengizinkan kami melalui daerah mereka.'
30 But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him, for Jehovah thy God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into thy hand, as at this day.
Tetapi Raja Sihon tidak mengizinkan kita melalui negerinya itu. TUHAN Allahmu membuat dia keras kepala dan nekat supaya kita dapat mengalahkan dia. Daerahnya masih kita duduki sampai sekarang.
31 And Jehovah said to me, Behold, I have begun to deliver up Sihon and his land before thee. Begin to possess, that thou may inherit his land.
Kemudian TUHAN berkata kepada saya, 'Raja Sihon dan negerinya Kuserahkan kepadamu; ambillah dan dudukilah negeri itu.'
32 Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Jahaz.
Maka datanglah Sihon dengan seluruh pasukannya untuk memerangi kita dekat kota Yahas.
33 And Jehovah our God delivered him up before us. And we smote him, and his sons, and all his people.
Tetapi TUHAN Allah kita menyerahkan dia kepada kita, lalu kita mengalahkan dia beserta anak-anaknya dan seluruh tentaranya.
34 And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed every inhabited city, with the women and the little ones; we left none remaining.
Pada waktu itu juga kita rebut dan hancurkan setiap kota, dan bunuh seluruh penduduknya, laki-laki, perempuan, dan anak-anak. Tak ada yang dibiarkan hidup.
35 We only took the cattle for a prey to ourselves, with the spoil of the cities which we had taken.
Ternak mereka kita ambil dan kota-kotanya kita rampasi.
36 From Aroer, which is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and from the city that is in the valley, even to Gilead, there was not a city too high for us. Jehovah our God delivered up all before us.
Dengan pertolongan TUHAN Allah kita, kita dapat merebut semua kota itu, mulai dari Aroer, di ujung Lembah Arnon, dan kota di tengah lembah itu, sampai ke daerah Gilead. Tak ada kota yang temboknya terlalu kuat bagi kita.
37 Only to the land of the sons of Ammon thou did not come near, all the side of the river Jabbok, and the cities of the hill-country, and wherever Jehovah our God forbad us.
Tetapi kita tidak mendekati daerah orang Amon atau tepi Sungai Yabok atau kota-kota di daerah pegunungan atau tempat lain mana pun yang dilarang TUHAN Allah kita."
