< Deuteronomy 31 >
1 When Moses/I finished saying all that to the Israeli people,
Kemudian pergilah Musa, lalu mengatakan segala perkataan ini kepada seluruh orang Israel.
2 he/I said to them, “Now I am 120 years old. I am no longer able to go everywhere [that you go] (OR, to be your leader). Furthermore, Yahweh has told me that I will not cross the Jordan [River].
Berkatalah ia kepada mereka: "Aku sekarang berumur seratus dua puluh tahun; aku tidak dapat giat lagi, dan TUHAN telah berfirman kepadaku: Sungai Yordan ini tidak akan kauseberangi.
3 But Yahweh our God will go ahead of you. He will [enable you to] destroy the nations that are living there, in order that you can occupy their land. Joshua will be your leader, which is what Yahweh already told me.
TUHAN, Allahmu, Dialah yang akan menyeberang di depanmu; Dialah yang akan memunahkan bangsa-bangsa itu dari hadapanmu, sehingga engkau dapat memiliki negeri mereka; Yosua, dialah yang akan menyeberang di depanmu, seperti yang difirmankan TUHAN.
4 Yahweh will do to those nations what he did to Sihon and Og, the two kings of the Amor people-group when he destroyed their armies [MTY].
Dan TUHAN akan melakukan terhadap mereka seperti yang dilakukan-Nya terhadap Sihon dan Og, raja-raja orang Amori, yang telah dipunahkan-Nya itu, dan terhadap negeri mereka.
5 Yahweh will enable you to conquer those nations, but you must [kill all of the people of those nations, which is] what I have commanded you to do.
TUHAN akan menyerahkan mereka kepadamu dan haruslah kamu melakukan kepada mereka tepat seperti perintah yang kusampaikan kepadamu.
6 Be brave and confident. Do not be afraid of those people. [Do not forget that] it is Yahweh our God who will go with you. He will always help [LIT] you and never abandon you.”
Kuatkan dan teguhkanlah hatimu, janganlah takut dan jangan gemetar karena mereka, sebab TUHAN, Allahmu, Dialah yang berjalan menyertai engkau; Ia tidak akan membiarkan engkau dan tidak akan meninggalkan engkau."
7 Then Moses/I summoned Joshua, and while all the Israeli people were listening, he/I said to him, “Be brave and confident. You are the one who will lead these people into the land that Yahweh promised to our ancestors that he would give to them, and you will enable them to occupy it.
Lalu Musa memanggil Yosua dan berkata kepadanya di depan seluruh orang Israel: "Kuatkan dan teguhkanlah hatimu, sebab engkau akan masuk bersama-sama dengan bangsa ini ke negeri yang dijanjikan TUHAN dengan sumpah kepada nenek moyang mereka untuk memberikannya kepada mereka, dan engkau akan memimpin mereka sampai mereka memilikinya.
8 It is Yahweh who will go ahead of you. He will be with you. He will always help [LIT] you. He will never abandon you. So do not be afraid or dismayed.”
Sebab TUHAN, Dia sendiri akan berjalan di depanmu, Dia sendiri akan menyertai engkau, Dia tidak akan membiarkan engkau dan tidak akan meninggalkan engkau; janganlah takut dan janganlah patah hati."
9 Moses/I wrote down all these laws [on two scrolls] and gave [one scroll] to the priests, who carried the chest containing the Ten Commandments, and [gave the other scroll] to the Israeli elders.
Setelah hukum Taurat itu dituliskan Musa, maka diberikannyalah kepada imam-imam bani Lewi, yang mengangkut tabut perjanjian TUHAN, dan kepada segala tua-tua Israel.
10 Moses/I told them, “At the end of every seven years, at the time that all debts are canceled, [read this to the people] during the Festival of [Living in Temporary] Shelters.
Dan Musa memerintahkan kepada mereka, demikian: "Pada akhir tujuh tahun, pada waktu yang telah ditetapkan dalam tahun penghapusan hutang, yakni hari raya Pondok Daun,
11 Read it to all the Israeli people when they gather at the place that Yahweh chooses for them to worship him.
apabila seluruh orang Israel datang menghadap hadirat TUHAN, Allahmu, di tempat yang akan dipilih-Nya, maka haruslah engkau membacakan hukum Taurat ini di depan seluruh orang Israel.
12 Gather together everyone—men, women, children, even the foreigners [who are living] in your towns—in order that they may hear [these laws] and learn to revere Yahweh our God, and to faithfully obey everything that is written in these laws.
Seluruh bangsa itu berkumpul, laki-laki, perempuan dan anak-anak, dan orang asing yang diam di dalam tempatmu, supaya mereka mendengarnya dan belajar takut akan TUHAN, Allahmu, dan mereka melakukan dengan setia segala perkataan hukum Taurat ini,
13 [If they do that], your descendants who have never known these laws will hear them and will also learn to revere Yahweh our God, during all the years that they live in the land that you are about to cross the Jordan [River] to occupy.”
dan supaya anak-anak mereka, yang tidak mengetahuinya, dapat mendengarnya dan belajar takut akan TUHAN, Allahmu, --selama kamu hidup di tanah, ke mana kamu pergi, menyeberangi sungai Yordan untuk mendudukinya."
14 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Listen carefully. You will soon die. Summon Joshua, and you go to the Sacred Tent with him, in order that I may appoint him [to be the new leader].” So Joshua and Moses/I went to the Sacred Tent.
Kemudian berfirmanlah TUHAN kepada Musa: "Sesungguhnya sudah dekat waktunya bahwa engkau akan mati; maka panggillah Yosua dan berdirilah bersama-sama dengan dia dalam Kemah Pertemuan, supaya Aku memberi perintah kepadanya." Lalu pergilah Musa dan Yosua berdiri dalam Kemah Pertemuan.
15 There Yahweh appeared to them/us in a pillar of cloud, and that cloud was close to the door of the tent.
Dan TUHAN menampakkan diri di kemah itu dalam tiang awan, dan tiang awan itu berdiri pada pintu kemah.
16 Yahweh said to Moses/me, “You will soon die [EUP]. Then these people will become unfaithful [MET] to me. They will abandon me and (break/stop obeying) the agreement that I made with them. They will begin to worship the foreign/pagan gods [that are worshiped by the people] of the land that they will enter.
TUHAN berfirman kepada Musa: "Ketahuilah, engkau akan mendapat perhentian bersama-sama dengan nenek moyangmu dan bangsa ini akan bangkit dan berzinah dengan mengikuti allah asing yang ada di negeri, ke mana mereka akan masuk; mereka akan meninggalkan Aku dan mengingkari perjanjian-Ku yang Kuikat dengan mereka.
17 When that happens, I will become very angry with them. I will abandon them [DOU] and I will no longer help them [IDM], and I will destroy them {they will be destroyed}. Many terrible things will happen to them, with the result that they will say, ‘[We are certain that] [RHQ] these things are happening to us because our God is no longer with us.’
Pada waktu itu murka-Ku akan bernyala-nyala terhadap mereka, Aku akan meninggalkan mereka dan menyembunyikan wajah-Ku terhadap mereka, sehingga mereka termakan habis dan banyak kali ditimpa malapetaka serta kesusahan. Maka pada waktu itu mereka akan berkata: Bukankah malapetaka itu menimpa kita, oleh sebab Allah kita tidak ada di tengah-tengah kita?
18 And because of all the evil things that they will have done, and [especially because] they will have started to worship other gods, I will refuse to help [IDM] them.
Tetapi Aku akan menyembunyikan wajah-Ku sama sekali pada waktu itu, karena segala kejahatan yang telah dilakukan mereka: yakni mereka telah berpaling kepada allah lain.
19 “So, [I am going to give you] a song. Write it [on a scroll] and teach it to the Israeli people and cause them to memorize it. It will be like a witness that accuses them.
Oleh sebab itu tuliskanlah nyanyian ini dan ajarkanlah kepada orang Israel, letakkanlah di dalam mulut mereka, supaya nyanyian ini menjadi saksi bagi-Ku terhadap orang Israel.
20 I am about to take them into a very fertile [IDM] land, a land that I solemnly promised their ancestors that I would give to them. There they will have plenty to eat, with the result that their [stomachs] will [always] be full and they will become fat. But then they will turn to other gods and start to worship them, and they will despise me and (break/stop obeying) the agreement that I made with them.
Sebab Aku akan membawa mereka ke tanah yang Kujanjikan dengan sumpah kepada nenek moyang mereka, yakni tanah yang berlimpah-limpah susu dan madunya; mereka akan makan dan kenyang dan menjadi gemuk, tetapi mereka akan berpaling kepada allah lain dan beribadah kepadanya. Aku ini akan dinista mereka dan perjanjian-Ku akan diingkari mereka.
21 And they will experience many terrible disasters. After that happens, their descendants will never forget this song, and it will be like a witness [that says, ‘Now you know why Yahweh punished your ancestors].’ I will soon take them into the land that I vowed that I would give to them; but now, before I do that, I know what they are thinking [that they will do when they are living there].”
Maka apabila banyak kali mereka ditimpa malapetaka serta kesusahan, maka nyanyian ini akan menjadi kesaksian terhadap mereka, sebab nyanyian ini akan tetap melekat pada bibir keturunan mereka. Sebab Aku tahu niat yang dikandung mereka pada hari ini, sebelum Aku membawa mereka ke negeri yang Kujanjikan dengan sumpah kepada mereka."
22 So on the day that [Yahweh gave Moses/me this song], he/I wrote it down, and he/I taught it to the Israeli people.
Maka Musa menuliskan nyanyian ini dan mengajarkannya kepada orang Israel.
23 Then Yahweh (appointed/set apart) Joshua and said to him, “Be brave and confident, because you will lead the Israeli people into the land that I vowed that I would give to them. And I will be with you.”
Kepada Yosua bin Nun diberi-Nya perintah, firman-Nya: "Kuatkan dan teguhkanlah hatimu, sebab engkau akan membawa orang Israel ke negeri yang Kujanjikan dengan sumpah kepada mereka, dan Aku akan menyertai engkau."
24 Then Moses/I finished writing on a scroll all the laws that Yahweh had told to him/me.
Ketika Musa selesai menuliskan perkataan hukum Taurat itu dalam sebuah kitab sampai perkataan yang penghabisan,
25 Then Moses/I told the descendants of Levi, who were carrying the Sacred Chest that contained the Ten Commandments,
maka Musa memerintahkan kepada orang-orang Lewi pengangkut tabut perjanjian TUHAN, demikian:
26 “Take this scroll on which these laws [are written], and place it beside the Sacred Chest that contains the agreement that Yahweh our God made with you, in order that it may remain there to testify [about what Yahweh will do] to the people [if they disobey him].
"Ambillah kitab Taurat ini dan letakkanlah di samping tabut perjanjian TUHAN, Allahmu, supaya menjadi saksi di situ terhadap engkau.
27 [I say this] because I know that these people are very stubborn [DOU]. They have rebelled against Yahweh all during the time that I have been [with them], and they will rebel much more after I die!
Sebab aku mengenal kedegilan dan tegar tengkukmu. Sedangkan sekarang, selagi aku hidup bersama-sama dengan kamu, kamu sudah menunjukkan kedegilanmu terhadap TUHAN, terlebih lagi nanti sesudah aku mati.
28 So gather all the elders of the tribes and your officials, in order that I can tell them the words [of this song], and request all those who are in heaven and on the earth to be witnesses to testify against these people.
Suruhlah berkumpul kepadaku segala tua-tua sukumu dan para pengatur pasukanmu, maka aku akan mengatakan hal yang berikut kepada mereka dan memanggil langit dan bumi menjadi saksi terhadap mereka.
29 I say that because I know that after I die, the people will become very wicked. They will turn away from doing everything that I have commanded them to do. And in the future, because of all the evil things that they will do, they will cause Yahweh to become angry with them. And he will cause them to experience disasters.”
Sebab aku tahu, bahwa sesudah aku mati, kamu akan berlaku sangat busuk dan akan menyimpang dari jalan yang telah kuperintahkan kepadamu. Sebab itu di kemudian hari malapetaka akan menimpa kamu, apabila kamu berbuat yang jahat di mata TUHAN, dan menimbulkan sakit hati-Nya dengan perbuatan tanganmu."
30 Then, while all the Israeli people listened, Moses/I sang/recited this entire song to them:
Lalu Musa menyampaikan ke telinga seluruh jemaah Israel nyanyian ini sampai perkataan yang penghabisan.
