Deuteronomy 2
1 “And we turn and journey into the wilderness, the way of the Red Sea, as YHWH has spoken to me, and we go around Mount Seir [for] 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 YHWH speaks to me, saying,
Lalu TUHAN berkata kepada saya
3 For you go around this mountain long enough; turn for yourselves northward.
bahwa sudah cukup lama kita mengembara di daerah itu. Jadi kita harus pergi ke utara.
4 And the people command you, saying, You are passing over into the border of your brothers, sons of Esau, who are dwelling in Seir, and they are afraid of you; and you have been very watchful;
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 you do not strive with them, for I do not give [any] of their land to you—even the treading of the sole of a foot; 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 You buy food from them with money, and have eaten; and you also buy water from them with money, and have drunk.
Kamu boleh membeli makanan dan minuman dari mereka.'
7 For your God YHWH has blessed you in all the work of your hands; He has known your walking in this great wilderness these forty years; your God YHWH [is] with you; you have not lacked anything.
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 And we pass by from our brothers, sons of Esau, who are dwelling in Seir, by the way of the plain, by Elath and by Ezion-Gaber, and we turn and pass over 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 YHWH says to me, Do not distress Moab, nor stir yourself up against them [in] battle, for I do not give [any] of their land to you [for] a possession; for 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 have formerly dwelt in it, a people great, and numerous, and tall as the Anakim;
(Dahulu Ar didiami oleh orang Emim. Mereka besar perawakannya, sama dengan orang Enak, juga bangsa raksasa.
11 they are reckoned [as] Rephaim, they also, as the Anakim; and the Moabites call them Emim.
Seperti orang Enak, mereka juga disebut orang Refaim, akan tetapi orang Moab menamakan mereka orang Emim.
12 And the Horim have formerly dwelt in Seir, but the sons of Esau dispossess them, and destroy them from before them, and dwell in their stead, as Israel has done to the land of his possession which YHWH has given 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 and pass over the Brook of Zered for yourselves; and we pass over the Brook of Zered.
"Kemudian kita menyeberangi Sungai Zered seperti yang diperintahkan TUHAN kepada kita.
14 And the days which we have walked from Kadesh-Barnea until we have passed over the Brook of Zered [are] thirty-eight years, until the consumption of all the generation of the men of battle from the midst of the camp, as YHWH has sworn 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 and indeed the hand of YHWH has been against them, to destroy them from the midst of the camp until they are consumed.
TUHAN terus-menerus melawan mereka sampai akhirnya mereka semua binasa.
16 And it comes to pass, when all the men of battle have finished dying from the midst of the people,
Sesudah mereka semua mati,
17 that YHWH speaks to me, saying,
TUHAN berkata kepada kita,
18 Today you are passing over the border of Moab, even Ar,
'Hari ini kamu melalui daerah Moab, lewat negeri Ar.
19 and [when] you have come near the sons of Ammon, you do not distress them, nor stir yourself up against them, for I do not give [any] of the land of the sons of Ammon to you [for] a possession; for 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 It is reckoned [as] a land of Rephaim, even it; Rephaim formerly dwelt in it, and 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 numerous, and tall as the Anakim, and YHWH destroys them before them, and they dispossess them, and dwell 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 has done for the sons of Esau who are dwelling in Seir, when He destroyed the Horim from before them, and they dispossess them, and dwell in their stead 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 As for the Avim who are dwelling in villages as far as Gaza, the Caphtorim—who are coming out from Caphtor—have destroyed them, and dwell 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, journey, and pass over the Brook of Arnon; see, I have given into your hand Sihon king of Heshbon, the Amorite, and his land; begin to possess [it], and stir yourself up against 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 [is] the day I begin to put your dread and your fear on the face of the peoples under the whole heavens, who hear your fame, and have trembled and been pained because of you.
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 send messengers from 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 over through your land; in the way—in the way I go, I do not turn aside [to the] right or left.
'Izinkan kami melalui negeri Tuanku. Kami akan berjalan terus dan tidak menyimpang dari jalan raya.
28 You sell me food for money, and I have eaten; and you give to me water for money, and I have drunk; only, let me pass over 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 are dwelling in Seir and the Moabites who are dwelling in Ar have done for me, until I pass over the Jordan to the land which our God YHWH is giving to 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 And Sihon king of Heshbon has not been willing to let us pass over by him, for your God YHWH has hardened his spirit and strengthened his heart, so as to give him into your 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 YHWH says to me, See, I have begun to give Sihon and his land before your faces; begin to possess—to possess his land.
Kemudian TUHAN berkata kepada saya, 'Raja Sihon dan negerinya Kuserahkan kepadamu; ambillah dan dudukilah negeri itu.'
32 And Sihon comes out to meet us, he and all his people, to the battle at Jahaz;
Maka datanglah Sihon dengan seluruh pasukannya untuk memerangi kita dekat kota Yahas.
33 and our God YHWH gives him before our faces, and we strike 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 capture all his cities at that time, and devote the whole city—men, and the women, and the infants; we have not left a remnant;
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 only, we have spoiled the livestock for ourselves, and the spoil of the cities which we have captured.
Ternak mereka kita ambil dan kota-kotanya kita rampasi.
36 From Aroer, which [is] by the edge of the Brook of Arnon, and the city which [is] by the brook, even to Gilead, there has not been a city which [is] too high for us; our God YHWH has given the whole before our faces.
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, you have not drawn near to the land of the sons of Ammon—any part of the Brook of Jabbok, and cities of the hill-country, and anything which our God YHWH has [not] commanded.”
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."
