Deuteronomy 31
1 When Moses/I finished saying all that to the Israeli people,
Sesudah Musa mengajarkan semuanya itu kepada 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].
dia berkata kepada mereka, “Sekarang saya sudah berumur 120 tahun dan tidak kuat lagi memimpin kalian. Lagipula TUHAN juga sudah mengatakan kepada saya, ‘Kamu tidak akan menyeberangi sungai Yordan.’
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 Allah kitalah yang akan menyeberangi sungai itu di depan kalian. Dia akan membinasakan bangsa-bangsa yang ada di hadapan kalian, dan kalian akan menduduki negeri mereka. Seperti yang dikatakan TUHAN, ‘Yosua akan memimpin kalian menyeberangi sungai itu.’
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].
TUHAN akan membinasakan bangsa-bangsa di negeri itu seperti Dia membinasakan Sihon dan Og, raja-raja bangsa Amori.
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 menolong kalian menaklukkan bangsa-bangsa itu. Dan kalian harus memusnahkan mereka semua, sesuai dengan perintah yang saya sampaikan kepada kalian.
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.”
Kalian harus kuat dan berani. Jangan takut kepada mereka karena TUHAN Allah kita menyertai kalian. Dia pasti akan selalu menolong kalian dan tidak akan meninggalkan kalian.”
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 hadapan semua orang Israel, “Kamu harus kuat dan berani, karena kamu akan memimpin bangsa ini ke negeri yang dijanjikan TUHAN kepada nenek moyang kita untuk diberikan kepada mereka. Kamu akan memimpin mereka untuk menguasai negeri itu, kemudian kamu akan membagi tanah kepada setiap keluarga agar menjadi harta warisan mereka turun temurun.
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.”
TUHAN sendiri akan berjalan di depanmu dan menyertaimu. Dia akan selalu menolongmu dan tidak akan meninggalkan kamu. Karena itu janganlah takut atau berkecil 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.
Musa menuliskan semua hukum itu, lalu dalam pertemuan dia menyerahkan gulungan kitab itu kepada para imam Lewi yang bertugas mengangkut peti perjanjian TUHAN, dan kepada para pemimpin 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.
Musa memerintahkan mereka, “Pada akhir setiap tahun ketujuh (yaitu tahun pembebasan hutang), selama Hari Raya Pondok Cabang-cabang Berdaun,
11 Read it to all the Israeli people when they gather at the place that Yahweh chooses for them to worship him.
kalian harus membacakan kitab Taurat ini di hadapan semua orang Israel yang berkumpul untuk menyembah TUHAN Allah kita di tempat penyembahan kepada-Nya.
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.
Kumpulkanlah semua rakyat yang datang dari setiap kota, baik laki-laki, perempuan, anak-anak, maupun pendatang, agar mereka menyimak dan belajar untuk takut dan hormat kepada TUHAN serta menaati semua hukum ini dengan cermat.
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.”
Pembacaan itu bertujuan supaya keturunan kalian yang belum tahu tentang hukum itu dapat mendengarnya. Mereka harus belajar untuk takut dan hormat kepada TUHAN Allah selama hidup di negeri yang sebentar lagi kalian duduki di seberang sungai Yordan.”
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.
TUHAN berkata kepada Musa, “Tidak lama lagi kamu akan mati. Karena itu panggillah Yosua dan datanglah bersama dia menghadap Aku di kemah-Ku. Aku hendak mengangkat dia sebagai penggantimu.” Kemudian Musa dan Yosua datang menghadap TUHAN di kemah-Nya
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 dalam bentuk tiang awan di dekat 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.
Kata TUHAN kepada Musa, “Tidak lama lagi kamu akan mati. Sesudah kamu mati, bangsa ini akan mengkhianati Aku seperti seorang istri yang pergi melacurkan diri, dengan menyembah dewa-dewa milik bangsa-bangsa di negeri yang akan mereka masuki. Mereka akan meninggalkan Aku dan melanggar perjanjian yang Aku buat 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.’
Ketika itu terjadi, Aku akan sangat marah kepada mereka. Aku akan meninggalkan orang Israel dan tidak lagi menolong mereka, bahkan Aku akan menghancurkan mereka. Banyak hal buruk akan menimpa mereka sehingga mereka berkata, ‘Pasti semua kesusahan ini terjadi karena Allah kita tidak lagi bersama 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.
Pada waktu itu, Aku sama sekali tidak akan menolong mereka karena mereka sudah berbuat jahat dengan menyembah dewa-dewa.
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.
“Sekarang tulislah nyanyian yang akan Aku berikan kepadamu dan ajarkanlah kepada orang Israel supaya mereka menghafalnya. Kelak kata-kata lagu ini akan menjadi bukti bahwa mereka tidak lagi taat kepada-Ku.
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.
Aku akan membawa mereka ke negeri yang sangat subur, yang sudah Aku janjikan kepada nenek moyang mereka. Di sana mereka akan hidup makmur dan makan sepuasnya sampai menjadi gemuk. Tetapi kemudian mereka akan berpaling menyembah dewa-dewa. Mereka akan menolak Aku dan melanggar perjanjian-Ku.
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].”
Karena itu, banyak bencana akan menimpa mereka. Saat itulah nyanyian ini akan mengingatkan mereka tentang alasan-Ku menghukum mereka, karena lagu ini akan selalu mereka nyanyikan turun-temurun. Aku tahu jalan pikiran mereka bahkan sebelum mereka masuk ke negeri yang Aku janjikan.”
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 hari itu juga, Musa menuliskan syair nyanyian itu 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.”
Kemudian TUHAN berkata kepada Yosua anak Nun, “Kamu harus kuat dan berani, karena kamu akan memimpin orang Israel masuk ke negeri yang sudah Aku janjikan kepada nenek moyangmu untuk diberikan kepada mereka. Aku akan menyertaimu.”
24 Then Moses/I finished writing on a scroll all the laws that Yahweh had told to him/me.
Sesudah Musa selesai menulis segala hukum ini pada sebuah gulungan kitab,
25 Then Moses/I told the descendants of Levi, who were carrying the Sacred Chest that contained the Ten Commandments,
dia memberi perintah kepada para pelayan dari suku Lewi yang bertugas membawa peti perjanjian TUHAN,
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 letakkan di samping peti perjanjian. Kelak, kitab itu akan menjadi bukti ketika orang Israel melanggar hukum TUHAN.
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!
“Saya tahu kalian semua sangat keras kepala. Selama saya masih hidup bersama kalian pun, kalian sering memberontak terhadap TUHAN, apalagi nanti sesudah saya 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.
Jadi, kumpulkanlah semua tua-tua suku dan pemimpin kalian, agar saya dapat berbicara langsung kepada mereka. Biarlah langit dan bumi menjadi saksi bahwa saya sudah menyampaikan semua hukum TUHAN ini kepada kalian.
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.”
Saya mengatakan hal ini karena tahu bahwa sesudah saya mati, kalian akan berbuat jahat dengan berpaling dari cara hidup yang sudah saya perintahkan kepada kalian. Pada waktu itu, bencana akan menimpa kalian karena kalian membuat TUHAN marah dengan melakukan yang jahat di mata-Nya.”
30 Then, while all the Israeli people listened, Moses/I sang/recited this entire song to them:
Kemudian Musa menyampaikan nyanyian pengajaran ini kepada seluruh umat Israel:
