Deuteronomy 21
1 “Suppose someone has been murdered in a field in the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you, and you do not know who killed that person.
"Apabila di tanah yang diberikan TUHAN, Allahmu, kepadamu untuk menjadi milikmu, terdapat seorang yang mati terbunuh di padang, dengan tidak diketahui siapa yang membunuhnya,
2 [If that happens], your elders and judges must go out to where that person’s corpse was found and measure the distance from there to each of the nearby towns.
maka haruslah para tua-tuamu dan para hakimmu keluar mengukur jarak ke kota-kota yang di sekeliling orang yang terbunuh itu.
3 Then the elders in the town that is closest to where the corpse was found must select a young cow that has never been used for doing work.
Kota yang ternyata paling dekat dengan tempat orang yang terbunuh itu, para tua-tua kota itulah harus mengambil seekor lembu betina yang muda, yang belum pernah dipakai, yang belum pernah menghela dengan kuk.
4 They must take it to a place near a stream where the ground has never been plowed or planted. They must break its neck there in that valley.
Para tua-tua kota itu haruslah membawa lembu muda itu ke suatu lembah yang selalu berair dan yang belum pernah dikerjakan atau ditaburi, dan di sana di lembah itu haruslah mereka mematahkan batang leher lembu muda itu.
5 The priests must go there also, because Yahweh our God has chosen them from the tribe of Levi to serve him and to be his representatives [MTY] when they bless people. And he has also chosen them to settle disputes in which someone has been injured.
Imam-imam bani Lewi haruslah tampil ke depan, sebab merekalah yang dipilih TUHAN, Allahmu, untuk melayani Dia dan untuk memberi berkat demi nama TUHAN; menurut putusan merekalah setiap perkara dan setiap hal luka-melukai harus diselesaikan.
6 The elders from the closest town must wash their hands over the young cow whose neck was broken,
Dan semua tua-tua dari kota yang paling dekat dengan tempat orang yang terbunuh itu, haruslah membasuh tangannya di atas lembu muda yang batang lehernya dipatahkan di lembah itu,
7 and they must say, ‘We did not murder this person [MTY], and we did not see who did it.
dan mereka harus memberi pernyataan dengan mengatakan: Tangan kami tidak mencurahkan darah ini dan mata kami tidak melihatnya.
8 Yahweh, forgive us, your Israeli people whom you rescued [from Egypt]. Do not consider (us to be guilty/that we should be punished because) of murdering someone who (is innocent/had not done something that is wrong). Instead, forgive us.’
Adakanlah pendamaian bagi umat-Mu Israel yang telah Kautebus itu, TUHAN, dan janganlah timpakan darah orang yang tidak bersalah ke tengah-tengah umat-Mu Israel. Maka karena darah itu telah diadakan pendamaian bagi mereka.
9 By doing that, you will be doing what Yahweh considers to be right, and you will not be considered to be guilty for murdering that person.”
Demikianlah engkau harus menghapuskan darah orang yang tidak bersalah itu dari tengah-tengahmu, sebab dengan demikian engkau melakukan apa yang benar di mata TUHAN."
10 “When you [soldiers] go to fight against your enemies, and Yahweh our God enables you to defeat them [IDM], and (they become your prisoners/you capture them),
"Apabila engkau keluar berperang melawan musuhmu, dan TUHAN, Allahmu, menyerahkan mereka ke dalam tanganmu dan engkau menjadikan mereka tawanan,
11 one of you may see among them a beautiful woman that he likes, and he may want to marry her.
dan engkau melihat di antara tawanan itu seorang perempuan yang elok, sehingga hatimu mengingini dia dan engkau mau mengambil dia menjadi isterimu,
12 He should take her to his home, and there she must shave [all the hair off] her head and cut her fingernails [to signify that now she does not belong to her people-group any more, but instead she is becoming an Israeli].
maka haruslah engkau membawa dia ke dalam rumahmu. Perempuan itu harus mencukur rambutnya, memotong kukunya,
13 She must take off the clothes that she was wearing when she was captured, [and put on Israeli clothes]. She must stay in that man’s house and mourn for a month because of [leaving] her parents. After that, he will be allowed to marry her.
menanggalkan pakaian yang dipakainya pada waktu ditawan, dan tinggal di rumahmu untuk menangisi ibu bapanya sebulan lamanya. Sesudah demikian, bolehlah engkau menghampiri dia dan menjadi suaminya, sehingga ia menjadi isterimu.
14 Later, if he no longer is pleased with her, he will be permitted to allow her to leave him. But because she was forced to have sex with him, he will not be allowed to treat her like a slave [and sell her to someone else].”
Apabila engkau tidak suka lagi kepadanya, maka haruslah engkau membiarkan dia pergi sesuka hatinya; tidak boleh sekali-kali engkau menjual dia dengan bayaran uang; tidak boleh engkau memperlakukan dia sebagai budak, sebab engkau telah memaksa dia."
15 “Suppose that a man has two wives, but he likes one of them and dislikes the other one. And suppose that they both give birth to sons, and the oldest son is the child of the woman that he does not like.
"Apabila seorang mempunyai dua orang isteri, yang seorang dicintai dan yang lain tidak dicintainya, dan mereka melahirkan anak-anak lelaki baginya, baik isteri yang dicintai maupun isteri yang tidak dicintai, dan anak sulung adalah dari isteri yang tidak dicintai,
16 On the day when that man decides how he will divide his possessions for his sons to possess [after he dies], he must not favor the son of the wife that he loves by giving him [a bigger share, ] the share that the older son should receive.
maka pada waktu ia membagi warisan harta kepunyaannya kepada anak-anaknya itu, tidaklah boleh ia memberikan bagian anak sulung kepada anak dari isteri yang dicintai merugikan anak dari isteri yang tidak dicintai, yang adalah anak sulung.
17 He must give to the older son, the son of the wife whom he does not like, twice as much of his possessions. That son is his firstborn son, and he must be given the share that he should receive because of his being that man’s firstborn son.”
Tetapi ia harus mengakui anak yang sulung, anak dari isteri yang tidak dicintai itu, dengan memberikan kepadanya dua bagian dari segala kepunyaannya, sebab dialah kegagahannya yang pertama-tama: dialah yang empunya hak kesulungan."
18 “Suppose there is a boy who is very stubborn and always (rebelling against/disobeying) [his parents], and who will not heed what they say to him. And suppose that they punish him but he still does not pay attention to what they tell him [MTY].
"Apabila seseorang mempunyai anak laki-laki yang degil dan membangkang, yang tidak mau mendengarkan perkataan ayahnya dan ibunya, dan walaupun mereka menghajar dia, tidak juga ia mendengarkan mereka,
19 If that happens, his parents must take him to the (gate of/central meeting place in) the city where he lives and have him stand in front of the elders of the city.
maka haruslah ayahnya dan ibunya memegang dia dan membawa dia keluar kepada para tua-tua kotanya di pintu gerbang tempat kediamannya,
20 Then the parents must say to the elders of that city, ‘This son of ours is stubborn and always rebelling against us. He will not pay attention to what we tell him [MTY]. He wastes a lot of money (OR, eats too much food) and gets drunk.’
dan harus berkata kepada para tua-tua kotanya: Anak kami ini degil dan membangkang, ia tidak mau mendengarkan perkataan kami, ia seorang pelahap dan peminum.
21 Then all the elders of that city must execute him by throwing stones at him. By doing that, you will get rid of this evil practice among you. And everyone in Israel will hear [about what happened] and they will be afraid [to do what he did].”
Maka haruslah semua orang sekotanya melempari anak itu dengan batu, sehingga ia mati. Demikianlah harus kauhapuskan yang jahat itu dari tengah-tengahmu; dan seluruh orang Israel akan mendengar dan menjadi takut."
22 “If someone is executed for having committed a crime for which he deserves to die, and you hang his corpse on a post,
"Apabila seseorang berbuat dosa yang sepadan dengan hukuman mati, lalu ia dihukum mati, kemudian kaugantung dia pada sebuah tiang,
23 you must not allow his corpse to remain there all night. You must bury it on the day that he died, because [God] has cursed anyone whose corpse is allowed to remain on a post. [You must bury the corpse that day], in order that you do not defile the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you.”
maka janganlah mayatnya dibiarkan semalam-malaman pada tiang itu, tetapi haruslah engkau menguburkan dia pada hari itu juga, sebab seorang yang digantung terkutuk oleh Allah; janganlah engkau menajiskan tanah yang diberikan TUHAN, Allahmu, kepadamu menjadi milik pusakamu."
