Deuteronomy 6
1 Now these are the orders and the laws and the decisions which the Lord your God gave me for your teaching, so that you might do them in the land of your heritage to which you are going:
"TUHAN Allahmu menyuruh saya mengajarkan semua hukum ini kepadamu supaya kamu melakukannya di negeri yang tak lama lagi kamu diami.
2 So that living in the fear of the Lord your God, you may keep all his laws and his orders, which I give you: you and your son and your son's son, all the days of your life; and so that your life may be long.
Hendaklah kamu dan keturunanmu seumur hidup menghormati TUHAN Allahmu dan mentaati semua hukum-Nya yang saya sampaikan kepadamu, supaya kamu panjang umur di negeri itu.
3 So give ear, O Israel, and take care to do this; so that it may be well for you, and you may be greatly increased, as the Lord the God of your fathers has given you his word, in a land flowing with milk and honey.
Sebab itu dengarlah saudara-saudara, lakukanlah itu dengan setia, supaya kamu sejahtera dan menjadi bangsa yang besar di negeri yang kaya dan subur, seperti dijanjikan TUHAN Allah leluhur kita.
4 Give ear, O Israel: the Lord our God is one Lord:
Saudara-saudara, ingatlah! Hanya TUHAN, dan TUHAN saja Allah kita!
5 And the Lord your God is to be loved with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.
Cintailah TUHAN Allahmu dengan sepenuh hatimu: Tunjukkanlah itu dalam cara hidupmu dan dalam perbuatanmu.
6 Keep these words, which I say to you this day, deep in your hearts;
Jangan sekali-kali melupakan perintah-perintah yang saya berikan kepadamu hari ini.
7 Teaching them to your children with all care, talking of them when you are at rest in your house or walking by the way, when you go to sleep and when you get up.
Ajarkanlah kepada anak-anakmu. Hendaklah kamu membicarakannya di dalam rumah dan di luar rumah, waktu beristirahat dan waktu bekerja.
8 Let them be fixed as a sign on your hand, and marked on your brow;
Ikatkanlah pada lenganmu dan pasanglah pada dahimu untuk diingat-ingat.
9 Have them lettered on the pillars of your houses and over the doors of your towns.
Tuliskanlah di tiang pintu rumahmu dan di pintu gerbangmu."
10 And when the Lord your God has taken you into the land which he gave his oath to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, that he would give you; with great and fair towns which were not of your building;
"TUHAN Allahmu berjanji kepada nenek moyangmu Abraham, Ishak dan Yakub bahwa Ia akan memberikan negeri itu kepadamu. Kota-kotanya besar dan makmur, dan bukan kamu yang mendirikannya.
11 And houses full of good things not stored up by you, and places for storing water which you did not make, and vine-gardens and olive-trees not of your planting; and you have taken food and are full;
Rumah-rumahnya penuh dengan barang-barang yang baik, dan bukan kamu yang mengisinya. Kamu akan menemukan sumur-sumur, dan bukan kamu yang menggalinya. Kamu akan mendapat kebun-kebun anggur dan zaitun, dan bukan kamu yang menanamnya. Apabila TUHAN membawa kamu ke negeri itu, dan kamu mempunyai segala yang kamu inginkan untuk dimakan,
12 Then take care that you keep your hearts true to the Lord, who took you out of the land of Egypt, out of the prison-house.
jagalah baik-baik supaya kamu jangan melupakan TUHAN yang sudah membebaskan kamu dari Mesir, tempat kamu diperbudak.
13 Let the fear of the Lord your God be in your hearts, and be his servants, taking your oaths by his name.
Hormatilah TUHAN, Allahmu, dan berbaktilah kepada Dia saja, dan bila kamu bersumpah, lakukanlah demi nama-Nya saja.
14 Do not go after other gods, the gods of the peoples round about you;
Jangan menyembah ilah-ilah lain yang disembah bangsa-bangsa yang tinggal di sekitarmu.
15 For the Lord your God who is with you is a God who will not let his honour be given to another; or the wrath of the Lord will be burning against you, causing your destruction from the face of the earth.
Bila kamu menyembah ilah-ilah lain, maka kamu akan ditimpa kemarahan TUHAN Allahmu dan dibinasakan sama sekali, sebab TUHAN Allahmu yang ada di tengah-tengahmu tak mau disamakan dengan apa pun.
16 Do not put the Lord your God to the test as you did in Massah.
Janganlah mencobai TUHAN Allahmu seperti yang kamu lakukan di Masa.
17 Keep with care the orders of the Lord your God, and his rules and his laws which he has given you;
Taatilah semua hukum yang diberikan TUHAN Allahmu kepadamu.
18 And do what is upright and good in the eyes of the Lord your God, so that it may be well for you and you may go in and take for your heritage that good land from which the Lord undertook by an oath to your fathers,
Lakukanlah apa yang menurut TUHAN baik dan adil, maka kamu akan sejahtera. Tanah subur yang dijanjikan TUHAN kepada nenek moyangmu, akan menjadi milikmu,
19 To send out from before you all those who are against you.
dan kamu akan mengusir musuh-musuhmu seperti yang dijanjikan TUHAN.
20 And when your son says to you in time to come, What is the reason for these rules and laws and decisions which the Lord our God has given you?
Di kemudian hari anak-anakmu akan bertanya kepadamu, 'Mengapa TUHAN Allah kita menyuruh kita mentaati semua perintah itu?'
21 Then you will say to your son, We were servants under Pharaoh's yoke in Egypt; and the Lord took us out of Egypt with a strong hand:
Maka kamu harus menjawab begini, 'Dahulu kita menjadi hamba raja Mesir, lalu TUHAN membebaskan kita dengan kekuatan besar.
22 And the Lord did great signs and wonders against Egypt, and against Pharaoh and all his house, before our eyes:
Kami sendiri menyaksikan TUHAN melakukan keajaiban-keajaiban dan hal-hal yang mengerikan terhadap orang Mesir dan raja mereka serta semua pejabatnya.
23 And he took us out from that place, guiding us here to give us this land, as he said in his oath to our fathers.
Ia membebaskan kita dari Mesir untuk membawa kita ke sini, dan tanah ini diberi-Nya kepada kita seperti yang dijanjikan-Nya kepada nenek moyang kita.
24 And the Lord gave us orders to keep all these laws, in the fear of the Lord our God, so that it might be well for us for ever, and that he might keep us from death, as he has done to this day.
TUHAN Allah kita menyuruh kita melakukan semua perintah itu dan menghormati Dia. Kalau kita berbuat begitu, Ia akan selalu memelihara bangsa kita supaya tetap hidup sejahtera.
25 And it will be our righteousness if we take care to keep all this order before the Lord our God as he has given it to us.
Kalau kita dengan setia mentaati segala yang diperintahkan TUHAN Allah kita kepada kita, maka Ia akan berkenan kepada kita.'"
