Deuteronomy 6

1 “These are the precepts and ceremonies, as well as the judgments, which the Lord your God has commanded that I teach to you, which you shall do in the land to which you will travel in order to possess it.

"TUHAN Allahmu menyuruh saya mengajarkan semua hukum ini kepadamu supaya kamu melakukannya di negeri yang tak lama lagi kamu diami.

2 So may you fear the Lord your God, and keep all his commandments and precepts, which I am entrusting to you, and to your sons and grandsons, all the days of your life, so that your days may be prolonged.

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 Listen and observe, O Israel, so that you may do just as the Lord has instructed you, and it may be well with you, and you may be multiplied all the more, for the Lord, the God of your fathers, has promised you 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 Listen, O Israel: the Lord our God is one Lord.

Saudara-saudara, ingatlah! Hanya TUHAN, dan TUHAN saja Allah kita!

5 You shall love the Lord your God 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 And these words, which I instruct to you this day, shall be in your heart.

Jangan sekali-kali melupakan perintah-perintah yang saya berikan kepadamu hari ini.

7 And you shall explain them to your sons. And you shall meditate upon them sitting in your house, and walking on a journey, when lying down and when rising up.

Ajarkanlah kepada anak-anakmu. Hendaklah kamu membicarakannya di dalam rumah dan di luar rumah, waktu beristirahat dan waktu bekerja.

8 And you shall bind them like a sign on your hand, and they shall be placed and shall move between your eyes.

Ikatkanlah pada lenganmu dan pasanglah pada dahimu untuk diingat-ingat.

9 And you shall write them at the threshold and on the doors of your house.

Tuliskanlah di tiang pintu rumahmu dan di pintu gerbangmu."

10 And when the Lord your God will have led you into the land, about which he swore to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and when he will have given to you great and excellent cities, which you did not build;

"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 houses full of goods, which you did not amass; cisterns, which you did not dig; vineyards and olive groves, which you did not plant;

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 and when you will have eaten and been satisfied:

jagalah baik-baik supaya kamu jangan melupakan TUHAN yang sudah membebaskan kamu dari Mesir, tempat kamu diperbudak.

13 take care diligently, lest you forget the Lord, who led you away from the land of Egypt, from the house of servitude. You shall fear the Lord your God, and you shall serve him alone, and you shall swear by his name.

Hormatilah TUHAN, Allahmu, dan berbaktilah kepada Dia saja, dan bila kamu bersumpah, lakukanlah demi nama-Nya saja.

14 You shall not go after the strange gods of all the Gentiles, who are around you.

Jangan menyembah ilah-ilah lain yang disembah bangsa-bangsa yang tinggal di sekitarmu.

15 For the Lord your God is a jealous God in your midst. Otherwise, at some time, the fury of the Lord your God may be enraged against you, and he may take you away 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 You shall not tempt the Lord your God, as you tempted him in the place of temptation.

Janganlah mencobai TUHAN Allahmu seperti yang kamu lakukan di Masa.

17 Keep the precepts of the Lord your God, as well as the testimonies and ceremonies, which he has instructed to you.

Taatilah semua hukum yang diberikan TUHAN Allahmu kepadamu.

18 And do what is pleasing and good in the sight of the Lord, so that it may be well with you, and so that, when you enter, you may possess the excellent land, about which the Lord swore 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 that he would wipe away all your enemies before you, just as he has spoken.

dan kamu akan mengusir musuh-musuhmu seperti yang dijanjikan TUHAN.

20 And when your son will ask you tomorrow, saying: ‘What do these testimonies and ceremonies and judgments mean, which the Lord our God has entrusted to us?’

Di kemudian hari anak-anakmu akan bertanya kepadamu, 'Mengapa TUHAN Allah kita menyuruh kita mentaati semua perintah itu?'

21 You shall say to him: ‘We were servants of Pharaoh in Egypt, and the Lord led us away from 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 he wrought signs and wonders, great and very grievous, in Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his house, in our sight.

Kami sendiri menyaksikan TUHAN melakukan keajaiban-keajaiban dan hal-hal yang mengerikan terhadap orang Mesir dan raja mereka serta semua pejabatnya.

23 And he led us away from that place, so that he might lead us in and give us the land, about which he swore 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 instructed us that we should do all these ordinances, and that we should fear the Lord our God, so that it may be well with us all the days of our life, just as it is today.

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 he will be merciful to us, if we keep and perform all his precepts, in the sight of the Lord our God, just as he has commanded us.’”

Kalau kita dengan setia mentaati segala yang diperintahkan TUHAN Allah kita kepada kita, maka Ia akan berkenan kepada kita.'"
