Deuteronomy 28
1 “If you do what Yahweh our God tells you to do and faithfully obey everything that I am today commanding you to do, he will cause you to become greater than any other nation on the earth.
Kata Musa selanjutnya, “Jika setiap orang di antara kalian menaati dengan cermat semua perintah TUHAN Allah yang saya sampaikan hari ini, TUHAN akan membuat Israel menjadi bangsa yang paling terpuji dan terhormat melebihi semua bangsa di bumi.
2 If you obey Yahweh, this is what he will do to bless you:
“Semua berkat ini akan mengalir kepadamu jika kalian taat kepada TUHAN Allahmu:
3 He will bless everything that you do when you are in the cities and he will bless everything that you do when you are [working] in the fields.
Kalian akan diberkati dalam berbagai hal, baik di kota maupun di ladang.
4 He will bless you by giving you many children [IDM] and by giving you abundant crops, and plenty of cattle and sheep.
Kalian akan diberkati dengan banyak anak. Hasil panenmu akan berlimpah, dan segala jenis ternakmu akan berkembang biak.
5 He will bless you by causing you to have good harvests with plenty of grain [MTY] to make bread.
Persediaan makananmu akan diberkati.
6 He will bless you [everywhere]—when you go out [of your houses] and when you come into [your houses].
Semua usahamu di mana saja akan diberkati.
7 Yahweh will enable you to defeat [the armies of] your enemies; they will attack you from one direction, but they will run away from you in seven/many directions.
“Setiap kali musuh-musuh menyerang kalian, TUHAN akan menolongmu mengalahkan mereka. Mereka datang menyerang kalian dari satu arah, tetapi tercerai-berai mereka melarikan diri dari hadapanmu.
8 Yahweh will bless you [by filling] your barns [with grain], and he will bless all the work that you do; he will bless you in the land that he is giving to you.
“TUHAN akan memberkatimu sehingga lumbung-lumbungmu penuh dengan hasil bumi. Dia juga akan memberkati semua usahamu yang lain. Dia akan memberkatimu di negeri yang sebentar lagi Dia bagikan kepadamu.
9 “If you obey all the commandments that Yahweh our God [has given to you] and if you conduct your lives as he wants you to do, you will continue to be his people, which is what he promised.
“Jika kalian taat kepada perintah TUHAN dan hidup sesuai kehendak-Nya, Dia akan menepati perjanjian-Nya dengan mengkhususkan kalian sebagai umat yang disucikan oleh-Nya.
10 “When all the people-groups on the earth will realize that you belong to [MTY] Yahweh, and they will be afraid of you.
Semua bangsa di bumi akan melihat bahwa kalian adalah bangsa milik TUHAN, dan mereka akan takut kepada kalian.
11 “And Yahweh will cause you to prosper very much. He will give you many children [IDM], many cattle, and abundant crops in the land that he vowed to our ancestors that he would give to you.
“TUHAN akan membuat kalian makmur di negeri yang Dia janjikan kepada nenek moyang kita untuk diberikan kepada kita. Dia akan memberkati kalian dengan banyak anak, banyak ternak, dan hasil panen yang melimpah.
12 “When rain is needed, Yahweh will send it from where he stores it in the sky, and he will bless all your work, with the result that you [will be able to] lend money to many other nations, but you will not need to borrow [money from them].
TUHAN akan menurunkan hujan bagi ladang-ladangmu pada musimnya dan memberkati semua usahamu. Utusan-utusan dari bangsa lain akan sering meminta pinjaman kepada kalian, tetapi kalian tidak akan perlu meminjam dari mereka.
13 If you faithfully obey all of the commands of Yahweh our God that I am giving you today, Yahweh will cause your nation to be a leader among the nations, not inferior to them; you will always be prosperous and never be needy/poor [IDM].
Apabila kalian menaati semua perintah TUHAN yang saya sampaikan hari ini, TUHAN akan membuat bangsa Israel senantiasa memimpin dan menguasai bangsa-bangsa lain, bukan dipimpin dan dikuasai oleh mereka.
14 [Yahweh will do all these things for you] if you do not turn away from [obeying] what I am commanding you today, and if you never worship or serve other gods.
Oleh karena itu, janganlah menyimpang dari perintah-perintah yang saya sampaikan kepada kalian hari ini, dan jangan menyembah dewa-dewa.”
15 But if you do not do what Yahweh our God is telling you to do, and if you do not faithfully obey all his rules and regulations that I am giving to you today, this is what he will do to curse you:
“Tetapi jika kalian tidak mematuhi semua perintah dan ketetapan TUHAN Allah yang saya sampaikan hari ini, maka semua kutuk ini akan menimpa kalian:
16 He will curse you when you are in the cities and he will curse you when you are [working] in the fields.
Kalian akan dikutuk dalam berbagai hal, baik di kota maupun di ladang.
17 He will curse you by not allowing you to have good harvests with plenty of grain [MTY] to make bread.
Persediaan makananmu akan dikutuk.
18 He will curse you by giving you only a few children [IDM], by causing you to have poor crops, and by not enabling you to have many cattle and sheep.
Kalian akan dikutuk sehingga sulit memiliki anak, hasil panenmu buruk, dan segala jenis ternakmu tidak berkembang biak.
19 He will curse you [everywhere]—when you go out [of your houses] and when you come into [your houses].
Semua usahamu di mana saja akan dikutuk.
20 If you do evil things and reject Yahweh, he will curse you by causing you to (be confused/not know what to do), and to be frustrated in everything that you do, until [your enemies] quickly and completely destroy you {you will be quickly and completely destroyed}.
“Jika kalian berbuat jahat dengan meninggalkan TUHAN, maka Dia akan mengutuk, mengacaukan, dan menggagalkan semua yang kalian lakukan sehingga kalian segera binasa.
21 Yahweh will cause you to experience terrible diseases, until not one of you remains alive in the land that you are about to enter and occupy.
TUHAN juga akan menimpa kalian dengan wabah penyakit, sehingga tidak seorang pun di antara kalian akan tersisa di negeri yang sebentar lagi kalian duduki itu.
22 Yahweh will strike/afflict you with diseases that shrivel your bodies, with fever, with inflammation/swelling. It will be extremely hot, and it will not rain. There will be scorching winds, and [Yahweh will cause] your crops to rot. All these things will strike you until you die.
TUHAN akan menghajar kalian dengan penyakit paru-paru, demam, dan sakit radang. Dia akan mengutuk cuaca sehingga terjadi panas terik, kekeringan, dan penyakit tanaman sehingga panen kalian akan gagal. Bencana-bencana ini akan melanda kalian sampai kalian binasa!
23 There will be no rain [MET], [with the result that] the ground will be [as hard as] iron [MET].
Langit di atas kalian akan menjadi seperti atap tembaga yang mencegah turunnya hujan, dan tanah di bawah kalian akan menjadi begitu keras seperti besi.
24 Instead of sending rain, Yahweh will send strong winds to blow sand and dust over your land, until your land is ruined.
TUHAN tidak akan menurunkan hujan air, melainkan hujan debu dari langit sampai kalian binasa.
25 Yahweh will enable your enemies to defeat you; your soldiers will attack your enemies from one direction, but they will run away from your enemies in seven/many directions, and when the people of other nations see what is happening to you, they will say that it is horrible.
“Setiap kali musuh-musuh menyerang kalian, TUHAN akan membuat kalian kalah. Pasukan kalian menyerang musuh dari satu arah, tetapi justru kalian akan tercerai-berai dan melarikan diri dari hadapan mereka. Melihat apa yang terjadi kepada kalian, semua bangsa lain akan merasa ngeri dan menganggap kalian bangsa yang paling malang di dunia.
26 [You will die], and birds and wild animals will come and eat your corpses, and there will not be anyone to scare/shoo them away.
Mayat kalian akan berserakan begitu saja sehingga dimakan burung-burung dan binatang-binatang liar. Saat itu terjadi, tidak seorang pun dari kalian yang masih hidup untuk mengusir burung dan binatang itu.
27 Yahweh will cause you to have boils on your skin, like he caused the people of Egypt to have [many years ago]. He will cause you to have tumors, open sores, and your skin will itch, and there will be nothing that will cure those diseases.
“TUHAN akan membuat kalian menderita bisul-bisul bernanah, seperti yang ditimpakan-Nya pada orang Mesir. Seluruh badanmu akan gatal-gatal dan penuh dengan benjol-benjol dan kudis tanpa ada yang bisa menyembuhkanmu.
28 Yahweh will cause [some of] you to become insane; he will cause some of you to become blind, and he will cause [some of] your minds to become confused.
TUHAN akan membuat kalian gila, buta, dan selalu ketakutan.
29 [Because you will not be able to see where you are going], at midday you will (grope/feel your way) around with your hands, like people do in the darkness. You will continually be oppressed and robbed, and no one will help you.
Meskipun kalian berjalan pada siang hari yang terang, kalian akan meraba-raba dalam kegelapan seperti orang buta, sehingga kalian tidak akan berhasil dalam segala hal. Kalian akan terus-menerus ditindas dan dirampok, tetapi tidak seorang pun akan menolongmu.
30 Some of you men will be engaged/promised to marry a young woman, but someone else will rape her. You will build houses, but you will never live in them. You will plant grapevines, but you will not eat the grapes; [someone else will eat them].
“Kalau kalian bertunangan, laki-laki lain akan memperkosa tunanganmu. Kalau kalian membangun rumah, kalian tidak akan sempat tinggal di dalamnya. Kalau kalian menanami kebun anggur, kalian tidak akan menikmati hasilnya.
31 Your enemies will butcher your cattle while you watch them, and you will not get any of the meat to eat. They will drag away your donkeys while you watch them do it, and they will not give them back to you. They will take away your sheep; and no one will help you [rescue them].
Ternak sapimu akan disembelih di depan matamu, tetapi kalian tidak akan makan sedikit pun dari dagingnya. Kawanan keledaimu akan dirampas dan tidak pernah dikembalikan. Musuh-musuhmu akan mencuri ternak dombamu, dan tidak ada orang yang bisa membela hakmu.
32 While you watch, your sons and daughters will be given to foreigners to become their slaves. Every day you will very sadly watch for your children to return, but (you will watch in vain/they will never return).
Anak-anakmu laki-laki dan perempuan akan menjadi tawanan perang, lalu dijadikan budak di negeri lain. Setiap hari kalian akan merindukan mereka, tetapi kalian tidak bisa berbuat apa-apa kecuali terdiam menatap kosong tanpa harapan.
33 People from a foreign nation will take all the crops that you worked hard to produce, and they will constantly treat you harshly and cruelly [DOU].
Suatu bangsa musuh yang namanya belum pernah kalian dengar akan datang dari negeri yang jauh, lalu menjarah semua hasil panenmu dan segala hasil kerja kerasmu. Kalian akan terus-menerus ditindas dan diperlakukan dengan kejam.
34 The result will be that all these terrible things that you see/experience will cause you to become insane.
Kalian akan menjadi gila melihat kengerian yang terjadi.
35 Yahweh will cause your legs [to be covered with] painful boils that cannot be healed, and you will have boils from the bottoms of your feet to the tops of your heads.
TUHAN akan membuat lutut dan pahamu sakit bisul yang tidak bisa disembuhkan. Bisul-bisul itu akan menyebar ke seluruh tubuhmu, dari telapak kaki sampai ke kulit kepala.
36 Yahweh will cause your king and the rest of you to be taken to another country, to a place in which you and your ancestors have never lived before, and there you will worship and serve gods that are made of wood or stone.
“TUHAN akan membiarkan Israel beserta raja yang kalian pilih ditawan ke negeri musuh yang jauh, yaitu bangsa yang tidak dikenal oleh kalian ataupun nenek moyang kalian. Di negeri itu, kalian akan menyembah dewa-dewa buatan tangan manusia dari kayu dan batu.
37 When the people-groups in nearby countries see what has happened to you, they will be shocked/horrified; they will make fun [DOU] of you.
Di antara segala bangsa ke mana TUHAN mencerai-beraikan kalian, orang-orang akan ngeri melihat apa yang sudah terjadi kepada kalian, sehingga kalian menjadi bahan olokan mereka.
38 You will plant plenty of seeds in your fields, but you will reap only a small harvest, because locusts will eat the crops.
Kalian akan menanam banyak benih di ladang, tetapi hasil panennya hanya sedikit karena dimakan belalang.
39 You will plant grapevines and take care of them, but you will not pick any grapes to make wine, because worms will eat the vines.
Kalian akan menanam dan merawat kebun anggur, tetapi tidak akan memanen buahnya apalagi meminum air anggurnya, karena sudah habis dimakan ulat.
40 Olive trees will grow everywhere in your land, but you will not get any olive oil to rub on your skin because the olives will drop [on the ground before they are ripe].
Banyak pohon zaitun akan tumbuh di seluruh wilayah kalian, tetapi kalian tidak akan bisa mengambil dan menikmati minyaknya, karena buah-buahnya akan gugur sebelum matang.
41 You will have sons and daughters, but they will not stay with you, because they will be captured and taken away.
Kalian akan memiliki anak-anak laki-laki dan perempuan, tetapi mereka akan dirampas darimu dan menjadi tawanan musuh.
42 Swarms of locusts/insects will eat your crops and [the leaves of] all your trees.
Serangan serangga akan memakan habis segala yang tumbuh, sehingga tidak ada apa pun yang bisa kalian panen.
43 Foreigners who live in your land will become more and more [powerful], and you will become less and less [powerful].
“Pendatang yang tinggal di antara kalian akan semakin berkuasa atas kalian, sedangkan kalian semakin tidak berdaya.
44 They will [have money to] lend to you, but you will not [have any money to] lend to them. They will be superior [IDM] to you, and you will be inferior to them [IDM].
Mereka akan memberi pinjaman kepada kalian, tetapi kalian tidak akan memberi pinjaman kepada mereka. Mereka akan memimpin kalian, dan kalian akan tunduk kepada mereka.
45 “You will experience all these disasters, and you will continue to experience them you until you are destroyed, if you do not do what Yahweh your God told you to do, and do not obey all the rules and regulations that he gave to you.
“Jika kalian tidak taat kepada TUHAN Allahmu dan tidak melakukan perintah-perintah-Nya yang sudah Dia berikan, semua kutuk tersebut akan terus menimpa kalian sampai binasa.
46 “These disasters will warn [DOU] you and your descendants forever [about what happens to groups who disobey Yahweh].
Bencana-bencana itu akan menjadi bukti dari TUHAN bagi kalian dan keturunan kalian selamanya, bahwa semua itu merupakan hukuman dari-Nya.
47 “Because Yahweh blessed you abundantly in many ways, you should have served him very joyfully [DOU], but you did not do that.
Sewaktu kalian hidup dalam kemakmuran dari TUHAN Allahmu di negerimu sendiri, kalian tidak mau berterima kasih dan melayani Dia dengan senang hati.
48 “Therefore, you will work for the enemies whom Yahweh will send to attack you. You will be hungry and thirsty; you will not have clothes to wear; and you will lack everything else that you need. And Yahweh will cause you to become slaves [MET] and work hard until he gets rid of you.
Karena itu, TUHAN akan mendatangkan musuh-musuh untuk melawan kalian, sehingga kalian terpaksa melayani mereka dalam keadaan lapar, haus, tak berpakaian, dan kekurangan segala hal. TUHAN akan membiarkan mereka memperbudak dan menindas kalian sampai binasa.
49 “Yahweh will cause an army from very far away [HYP] to attack you, whose soldiers speak a language that you do not know/understand. They will swoop down on you [quickly] like an eagle [SIM] attacks its prey.
“TUHAN akan mendatangkan pasukan mereka dari negeri yang jauh, dan mereka akan menyergap kalian seperti seekor elang menerkam mangsanya secepat kilat. Bangsa itu kuat dan kejam, dan bahasa mereka tidak bisa kalian mengerti. Mereka tidak akan punya rasa hormat kepada orang yang tua maupun belas kasihan kepada anak-anak.
50 They will be fierce looking. They will not act mercifully toward anyone, not even young children and old people.
51 They will [kill and] eat your livestock, and they will eat your crops, and you will (starve/die because you do not have anything to eat). They will not leave for you any grain or wine or [olive] oil or cattle or sheep; and you will all die [from hunger].
Pasukan bangsa itu akan memakan ternak mudamu dan seluruh hasil panenmu sampai kalian mati kelaparan. Tidak akan tersisa sedikit pun gandum, air anggur, minyak zaitun, anak sapi, dan anak domba bagi kalian, sehingga kalian habis binasa.
52 Your enemies will surround your towns throughout the land that Yahweh your God is about to give to you, and they will break down the high and strong walls [around your towns], walls which you trusted/thought would protect you.
Mereka akan mengepung kota-kota di seluruh negeri pemberian TUHAN kepada kalian. Biarpun kalian merasa aman berlindung di kota yang dibentengi tembok yang tinggi, mereka akan meruntuhkan benteng itu.
53 “When your enemies are surrounding [your towns], you will be extremely hungry, with the result that you will eat the flesh of your own sons and daughters that Yahweh your God has given to you.
“Selama kotamu dikepung, kalian akan merasa begitu sengsara dan kehabisan makanan, sampai kalian memakan anak-anakmu, darah dagingmu sendiri yang diberikan TUHAN kepadamu. Kalian akan sangat kelaparan, sehingga laki-laki yang paling lembut dan peka di antara kalian pun tega memakan daging anaknya sendiri. Bahkan dia tidak akan mau membagi sedikit pun daging itu kepada saudaranya, istrinya yang sangat dicintainya, dan satu-satunya anak yang masih hidup.
54 When your enemies have surrounded your towns, even the most gentle and sensitive men among you will want food very desperately, with the result that they will [kill their own children and] eat their flesh, because they will not have anything else to eat. They will not even share any of it with their brothers or wives whom they love very much or with any of their children who are still alive.
56 Even the most gentle and sensitive/kind women among you, who are very refined/rich with the result that they have never had to walk anywhere [HYP], will do the same thing. When your enemies have surrounded your towns, those women will be extremely hungry, with the result that after they give birth to a baby, they will secretly [kill it and] eat its flesh and also eat its afterbirth. And they will not share any of it with their husbands whom they love very much or with any of their other children.
Demikian juga perempuan yang paling lembut dan peka di antara kalian— begitu lembutnya bagaikan tuan putri yang seolah tidak pernah menjejakkan kakinya ke tanah— akan tega menyembunyikan bayi yang baru saja dia lahirkan beserta dengan ari-arinya, lalu diam-diam memakannya, sebab tidak ada apa pun lagi yang bisa dimakan. Dia bahkan tidak akan mau membagi sedikit pun daging itu kepada suami dan anaknya yang lain.
58 “If you do not faithfully obey all of the laws that I am writing, and if you do not revere Yahweh our glorious God [MTY],
“Jika kamu sekalian tidak menaati semua hukum yang tertulis dalam kitab Taurat ini, dan tidak takut dan hormat terhadap TUHAN Allah Yang Mahamulia,
59 he will [punish you by] causing you and your descendants to experience great afflictions and plagues which will last for many years.
maka TUHAN akan mendatangkan bencana-bencana dan berbagai wabah penyakit kepada kamu dan keturunanmu, yaitu penyakit mengerikan seperti yang kalian saksikan ketika TUHAN menghukum orang Mesir. Kalian akan menderita sakit parah itu bertahun-tahun tanpa bisa sembuh.
60 He will cause you to experience the plagues that he sent on the people of Egypt, and you will never be healed.
61 He will also cause you to experience many other sicknesses and diseases that I have not talked about in these laws, until you all will die.
TUHAN juga akan mendatangkan segala macam wabah dan penyakit lain yang tidak tertulis dalam kitab Taurat ini, sampai kalian binasa.
62 You became as numerous as the stars in the sky, but only a few of you will remain alive, if you do not obey Yahweh your God.
“Sebagaimana TUHAN tadinya senang berbuat baik kepada kalian dan menambah jumlah kalian, Dia pun akan senang menghancurkan dan membinasakan kalian jika kalian tidak menaati-Nya. Sekali pun awalnya jumlah kalian banyak seperti bintang di langit, hanya sedikit yang akan dibiarkan hidup sesudah TUHAN menghukum kalian. Dan kalian akan disingkirkan dari negeri subur yang sebentar lagi kalian duduki karena kalian tidak menaati perintah-perintah TUHAN.
63 Yahweh was very happy to do good things for you and to cause you to become very numerous, but now he will be happy to ruin you and get rid of you. [Those of] you [who do not die from these plagues] will be snatched away from the land that you will soon be entering to possess.
64 “Yahweh will scatter you among many people-groups, all over the earth, and in those areas/places you will serve other gods that are made of wood or stone, gods which you and your ancestors have never known/worshiped.
TUHAN akan mencerai-beraikan kalian ke antara bangsa-bangsa lain di seluruh bumi. Di sana kalian akan menyembah dewa-dewa yang terbuat dari kayu dan batu, yang tidak dikenal olehmu ataupun nenek moyangmu.
65 In those places you will be restless. Yahweh will cause you to be constantly worried/anxious, feel hopeless, and discouraged.
Di antara bangsa-bangsa itu, kalian tidak akan pernah mempunyai tempat tinggalmu sendiri dan tidak akan merasa tenang. TUHAN akan membuat hatimu gelisah, mukamu suram, dan perasaanmu tertekan.
66 You will always be afraid that your enemies will kill you. You will be very fearful, all day and all night.
Hidupmu akan selalu terancam bahaya. Siang dan malam kalian merasa ngeri dan kuatir apakah bisa tetap hidup.
67 Because you will be very fearful/afraid because of the [terrible] things that you see, each morning you will say ‘I wish it were evening already!’ and each evening you will say ‘I wish it were morning already!’
Karena sering melihat hal-hal yang mengerikan, kalian akan hidup dalam ketakutan setiap saat, sehingga di pagi hari kalian berkata, ‘Andaikan sekarang sudah malam!’ Dan di malam hari kalian berkata, ‘Andaikan sekarang sudah pagi!’
68 Yahweh will send [some of] you back to Egypt in ships, even though he promised that you would never [be forced to] go there again. There in Egypt you will try to sell yourselves to become slaves of your enemies [in order to have food to eat], but no one will buy you. [All those things will happen to you if you do not obey the laws that Yahweh is giving to you].”
TUHAN juga akan mengirim sebagian dari kalian ke Mesir dengan kapal, meskipun Dia pernah mengatakan bahwa kalian tidak akan melihat negeri itu lagi. Di sana kalian akan begitu melarat sampai berusaha menawarkan diri sebagai budak lagi kepada orang Mesir, tetapi tidak akan ada yang mau membelimu.”
