Deuteronomy 32
1 Hearken, ye heauens, and I will speake: and let the earth heare the words of my mouth.
"Dengarlah, hai langit, aku ingin berbicara; hai bumi, pasanglah telinga!
2 My doctrine shall drop as the raine, and my speach shall stil as the dew, as the showre vpon the herbes, and as the great raine vpon the grasse.
Semoga ajaranku turun seperti hujan, dan kata-kataku menetes seperti embun, laksana hujan rintik-rintik di atas rerumputan, dan hujan deras di atas tanam-tanaman.
3 For I will publish the name of the Lord: giue ye glorie vnto our God.
Aku akan memuji nama TUHAN. Wartakanlah kebesaran Allah kita!
4 Perfect is the worke of the mighty God: for all his wayes are iudgement. God is true, and without wickednesse: iust, and righteous is he.
TUHAN Pembelamu yang perkasa, karya-Nya sempurna, dan semua jalan-Nya adil. Allahmu setia, tak ada kecurangan pada-Nya, Ia melakukan yang baik dan benar.
5 They haue corrupted them selues towarde him by their vice, not being his children, but a frowarde and crooked generation.
Tetapi kamu adalah bangsa yang tidak setia, dan tidak pantas lagi menjadi umat-Nya, bangsa yang penuh kecurangan dan dosa.
6 Doe ye so rewarde the Lord, O foolish people and vnwise? is not he thy father, that hath bought thee? he hath made thee, and proportioned thee.
Begitukah kamu balas kebaikan TUHAN, hai orang-orang bodoh dan tidak berakal? Bukankah Ia Bapamu, Penciptamu, yang menjadikan kamu satu bangsa?
7 Remember the dayes of olde: consider the yeeres of so many generations: aske thy father, and he will shewe thee: thine Elders, and they will tell thee.
Ingatlah akan zaman dahulu, perhatikan zaman angkatan-angkatan yang lalu. Tanyakanlah kepada orang tuamu, supaya mereka memberitahukannya kepadamu.
8 When the most hie God deuided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sonnes of Adam, he appoynted the borders of the people, according to the nomber of the children of Israel.
Ketika Yang Mahatinggi membagikan tanah, setiap bangsa ditentukan wilayahnya dengan suatu ilah sebagai penguasa.
9 For the Lordes portion is his people: Iaakob is the lot of his inheritance.
Tetapi keturunan Yakub ini dipilih TUHAN bagi diri-Nya sendiri.
10 He found him in ye land of ye wildernes, in a waste, and roaring wildernes: he led him about, he taught him, and kept him as ye apple of his eye.
Ia mendapati mereka sedang mengembara di tempat yang sepi di padang belantara. Lalu Ia melindungi dan memelihara mereka dan menjaga mereka seperti milik-Nya.
11 As an eagle stereth vp her nest, flootereth ouer her birdes, stretcheth out her wings, taketh them, and beareth them on her wings,
Seperti burung elang yang mengajar anaknya terbang menangkapnya di sayapnya yang terbentang dan mendukungnya di atas kepak-kepaknya,
12 So the Lord alone led him, and there was no strange god with him.
demikian TUHAN sendiri memimpin umat-Nya, tak ada ilah asing menyertai dia.
13 He caryed him vp to the hie places of the earth, that he might eate the fruites of the fieldes, and he caused him to sucke hony out of the stone, and oyle out of the hard rocke:
Ia membuat mereka menguasai gunung-gunung; mereka makan hasil ladang-ladang dan minum madu liar dari bukit batu. Mereka mendapat minyak dari pohon zaitun yang tumbuh di tanah berbatu.
14 Butter of kine, and milke of sheepe with fat of the lambes, and rammes fed in Bashan, and goates, with the fat of the graines of wheat, and the red licour of the grape hast thou drunke.
Sapi dan kambing domba mereka menghasilkan banyak susu; ternak mereka paling bermutu, gandum dan air anggur mereka paling baik.
15 But he that should haue bene vpright, when he waxed fat, spurned with his heele: thou art fat, thou art grosse, thou art laden with fatnes: therefore he forsooke God that made him, and regarded not the strong God of his saluation.
Umat TUHAN menjadi kaya, tetapi suka berontak, mereka gemuk-gemuk, kenyang makanan. Lalu mereka meninggalkan Allah, Penciptanya dan menolak Penyelamatnya yang perkasa.
16 They prouoked him with strange gods: they prouoked him to anger with abominations.
Mereka menyembah berhala, sehingga TUHAN cemburu, kemarahan-Nya bangkit karena kejahatan itu.
17 They offred vnto deuils, not to God, but to gods whome they knew not: new gods that came newly vp, whome their fathers feared not.
Mereka mempersembahkan kurban kepada roh-roh jahat yang bukan Allah, kepada ilah-ilah yang tidak mereka kenal, ilah-ilah baru yang tidak ditakuti leluhur mereka.
18 Thou hast forgotten the mightie God that begate thee, and hast forgotten God that formed thee.
Mereka melalaikan Penyelamat mereka yang perkasa, melupakan Allah mereka yang memberi kehidupan.
19 The Lord then sawe it, and was angrie, for the prouocation of his sonnes and of his daughters.
Melihat hal itu, TUHAN menjadi marah, dan menolak anak-anak-Nya.
20 And he said, I will hide my face from the: I will see what their ende shalbe: for they are a frowarde generation, children in who is no faith.
Kata-Nya, 'Aku tidak mau menolong mereka lagi; biar Kulihat bagaimana kesudahan mereka. Sebab bangsa itu keras kepala dan sama sekali tidak setia.
21 They haue moued me to ielousie with that which is not God: they haue prouoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will moue them to ielousie with those which are no people: I wil prouoke them to anger with a foolish nation.
Mereka membuat Aku cemburu kepada yang bukan Allah, dan marah kepada patung berhala mereka. Maka Kubuat umat-Ku cemburu kepada yang bukan bangsa, dan marah kepada bangsa yang dungu.
22 For fire is kindled in my wrath, and shall burne vnto the bottome of hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountaines. (Sheol h7585)
Kemarahan-Ku akan berkobar seperti api yang membakar sampai ke dunia orang mati. Api itu membakar bumi dan segala hasilnya, dan gunung-gunung sampai ke akar-akarnya. (Sheol h7585)
23 I will spend plagues vpon them: I will bestowe mine arrowes vpon them.
Terus-menerus Kudatangkan malapetaka, Kutembakkan semua panah-Ku kepada mereka.
24 They shalbe burnt with hunger, and consumed with heate, and with bitter destruction: I will also sende the teeth of beastes vpon them, with the venime of serpents creeping in the dust.
Mereka akan mati karena demam dan kelaparan, dan karena penyakit yang mengerikan. Kubiarkan mereka diterkam binatang buas, dan dipagut ular berbisa.
25 The sworde shall kill them without, and in the chambers feare: both the yong man and the yong woman, the suckeling with the man of gray heare.
Peperangan membawa maut di jalan-jalan; kengerian menimpa orang-orang di rumah. Orang muda dan gadis remaja akan dibinasakan, juga anak bayi dan orang lanjut usia.
26 I haue said, I would scatter them abroade: I would make their remembrance to cease from among men,
Aku ingin melenyapkan mereka sama sekali, supaya mereka tidak diingat lagi.
27 Saue that I feared the furie of the enemie, least their aduersaries should waxe proude, and least they should say, Our hie hande and not the Lord hath done all this:
Tetapi Aku tak mau musuh Israel berbangga; jangan-jangan mereka salah sangka dan berkata bahwa mereka mengalahkan umat-Ku,' padahal Akulah yang melakukannya.
28 For they are a nation voide of counsel, neither is there any vnderstanding in them.
Israel suatu bangsa yang tidak punya pertimbangan; pengertian tak ada pada mereka.
29 Oh that they were wise, then they would vnderstand this: they would consider their latter ende.
Sekiranya mereka bijaksana, mereka akan mengerti, dan memikirkan kesudahan mereka.
30 How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousande to flight, except their strong God had sold the, and the Lord had shut them vp?
Bagaimana seorang dapat mengejar seribu orang, dan dua orang membuat sepuluh ribu orang lari? TUHAN, Allah mereka, telah menjual mereka; mereka telah ditinggalkan oleh Allah yang perkasa.
31 For their god is not as our God, euen our enemies being iudges.
Musuh Israel tahu bahwa pelindung mereka tidak seperti Allah pelindung Israel.
32 For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the vines of Gomorah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters be bitter.
Sebab mereka jahat seperti Sodom dan Gomora, seperti pohon anggur yang pahit dan beracun buahnya.
33 Their wine is the poyson of dragons, and the cruel gall of aspes.
Air anggur mereka adalah racun ular berbisa.
34 Is not this laide in store with me, and sealed vp among my treasures?
TUHAN ingat perbuatan musuh umat-Nya dan akan menghukum mereka pada waktunya.
35 Vengeance and recompence are mine: their foote shall slide in due time: for the day of their destruction is at hand, and the things that shall come vpon them, make haste.
TUHAN akan membalas dan menghukum mereka, tak lama lagi mereka jatuh binasa; saat kehancuran mereka segera tiba.
36 For the Lord shall iudge his people, and repent towarde his seruants, when hee seeth that their power is gone, and none shut vp in holde nor left abroad.
TUHAN akan menyelamatkan umat-Nya dan mengasihani hamba-hamba-Nya, bila Ia melihat mereka tak berdaya dan sudah kehabisan tenaga.
37 When men shall say, Where are their gods, their mighty God in whome they trusted,
Maka TUHAN akan bertanya kepada umat-Nya, 'Di mana ilah-ilah kuat yang kamu andalkan?'
38 Which did eate the fat of their sacrifices, and did drinke the wine of their drinke offring? let them rise vp, and help you: let him be your refuge.
Mereka makan lemak yang kamu persembahkan, dan minum air anggur yang kamu kurbankan. Suruhlah mereka datang menolong kamu, biarlah mereka menjadi perlindunganmu.
39 Behold now, for I, I am he, and there is no gods with me: I kill, and giue life: I wound, and I make whole: neither is there any that can deliuer out of mine hand.
Lihatlah, Aku Allah Yang Esa, tak ada Allah kecuali Aku. Aku membunuh dan menghidupkan, melukai dan menyembuhkan. Bila Aku bertindak, tak seorang pun dapat melawan.
40 For I lift vp mine hand to heauen, and say, I liue for euer.
Demi Aku sendiri, Allah yang hidup, Kuangkat tangan-Ku dan bersumpah:
41 If I whet my glittering sworde, and mine hand take holde on iudgement, I will execute vengeance on mine enemies, and will rewarde them that hate me.
Aku akan mengasah pedang-Ku yang berkilauan, dan menjalankan penghukuman. Kubalas semua lawan-Ku dan Kuhukum semua yang membenci Aku.
42 I will make mine arrowes drunke with blood, (and my sword shall eate flesh) for the blood of the slaine, and of the captiues, when I beginne to take vengeance of the enemie.
Panah-panah-Ku akan dilumuri darah mereka; semua yang menentang Aku Kubunuh dengan pedang-Ku. Tidak Kubiarkan siapa pun melawan Aku; orang tahanan dan yang luka-luka mesti mati juga.
43 Ye nations, praise his people: for he will auenge the blood of his seruants, and will execute vengeance vpon his aduersaries, and will bee mercifull vnto his lande, and to his people.
Hai bangsa-bangsa, pujilah umat TUHAN, sebab TUHAN menghukum semua yang membunuh mereka. Ia membalas dendam kepada musuh-Nya tetapi mengampuni dosa umat-Nya."
44 Then Moses came and spake all ye words of this song in the audience of the people, he and Hoshea the sonne of Nun.
Musa dan Yosua anak Nun mengucapkan nyanyian itu, sehingga seluruh bangsa Israel dapat mendengarnya.
45 When Moses had made an end of speaking all these wordes to all Israel,
Sehabis menyampaikan ajaran-ajaran TUHAN kepada bangsa Israel,
46 Then hee said vnto them, Set your heartes vnto all the wordes which I testifie against you this day, that ye may commande them vnto your children, that they may obserue and doo all the wordes of this Lawe.
Musa berkata, "Perhatikanlah semua perintah yang saya berikan kepadamu hari ini. Ajarkanlah kepada anak-anakmu, supaya mereka dengan setia melakukan semua hukum TUHAN.
47 For it is no vaine worde concerning you, but it is your life, and by this worde ye shall prolong your dayes in the land, whither yee go ouer Iorden to possesse it.
Ajaran itu bukanlah kata-kata kosong, melainkan hidupmu. Taatilah semua perintah itu, supaya kamu panjang umur di negeri yang tak lama lagi kamu duduki di seberang Sungai Yordan."
48 And the Lord spake vnto Moses the selfe same day, saying,
Pada hari itu juga TUHAN berkata kepada Musa,
49 Goe vp into the mountaine of Abarim, vnto the mount Nebo, which is in the lande of Moab, that is ouer against Iericho: and beholde the lande of Canaan, which I giue vnto the children of Israel for a possession,
"Pergilah ke Pegunungan Abarim di negeri Moab di seberang kota Yerikho. Lalu naiklah ke Gunung Nebo dan pandanglah tanah Kanaan yang tak lama lagi Kuserahkan kepada bangsa Israel.
50 And die in the mount which thou goest vp vnto, and thou shalt be gathered vnto thy people, as Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor, and was gathered vnto his people,
Engkau akan meninggal di atas gunung itu, seperti Harun saudaramu meninggal di Gunung Hor.
51 Because ye trespassed against me among the children of Israel, at the waters of Meribah, at Kadesh in the wildernesse of Zin: for ye sanctified me not among the children of Israel.
Kamu berdua tidak setia kepada-Ku dan tidak menghormati Aku di depan bangsa Israel waktu kamu berada di mata air Meriba, dekat kota Kades, di padang gurun Zin.
52 Thou shalt therefore see the lande before thee, but shalt not go thither, I meane, into the land which I giue the children of Israel.
Karena itu engkau tak boleh masuk ke negeri yang Kuberikan kepada bangsa Israel; engkau hanya boleh memandangnya dari jauh."
