Deuteronomy 4
1 “Now, you Israeli people, obey all the rules and regulations [DOU] that I will teach you. If you do that, you will remain alive and you will enter and occupy/capture the land that Yahweh, the God whom your ancestors [worshiped], is giving to you.
"Maka sekarang, hai orang Israel, dengarlah ketetapan dan peraturan yang kuajarkan kepadamu untuk dilakukan, supaya kamu hidup dan memasuki serta menduduki negeri yang diberikan kepadamu oleh TUHAN, Allah nenek moyangmu.
2 Do not add anything to what I command you, and do not take anything away from what I tell you. Obey all the commands of Yahweh our God that I am giving to you.
Janganlah kamu menambahi apa yang kuperintahkan kepadamu dan janganlah kamu menguranginya, dengan demikian kamu berpegang pada perintah TUHAN, Allahmu, yang kusampaikan kepadamu.
3 “You have seen what Yahweh did at Baal-Peor [Mountain]. He got rid of all the people who worshiped [the god] Baal there,
Matamu sendiri telah melihat apa yang diperbuat TUHAN mengenai Baal-Peor, sebab TUHAN, Allahmu, telah memunahkan dari tengah-tengahmu semua orang yang mengikuti Baal-Peor,
4 but you who faithfully [continued to worship] Yahweh our God are still alive today.
sedangkan kamu sekalian yang berpaut pada TUHAN, Allahmu, masih hidup pada hari ini.
5 “Note that I have taught you all the rules and regulations, just like Yahweh our God told me to do. He wants you to obey them [when you are living] in the land that you are about to enter and occupy.
Ingatlah, aku telah mengajarkan ketetapan dan peraturan kepadamu, seperti yang diperintahkan kepadaku oleh TUHAN, Allahku, supaya kamu melakukan yang demikian di dalam negeri, yang akan kamu masuki untuk mendudukinya.
6 Obey them faithfully because, [if you do that], you will show the people of other nations that you are very wise. When they hear about all these laws, they will say, ‘The people of this great nation [of Israel] are certainly very wise [DOU]!’
Lakukanlah itu dengan setia, sebab itulah yang akan menjadi kebijaksanaanmu dan akal budimu di mata bangsa-bangsa yang pada waktu mendengar segala ketetapan ini akan berkata: Memang bangsa yang besar ini adalah umat yang bijaksana dan berakal budi.
7 Even if other nations are great, there is none [RHQ] of them that has a god who is as near to them as Yahweh our God is to us! Whenever we call out to him [to help us, he answers/helps us]
Sebab bangsa besar manakah yang mempunyai allah yang demikian dekat kepadanya seperti TUHAN, Allah kita, setiap kali kita memanggil kepada-Nya?
8 And there is no [RHQ] other nation, even if it is a great nation, that has laws that are as just/fair as the laws that I am telling to you today.
Dan bangsa besar manakah yang mempunyai ketetapan dan peraturan demikian adil seperti seluruh hukum ini, yang kubentangkan kepadamu pada hari ini?
9 “But be very careful! [DOU, IDM] Do not forget what you [SYN] have seen [God do]. Remember those things as long as you are alive. Tell them to your children and your grandchildren.
Tetapi waspadalah dan berhati-hatilah, supaya jangan engkau melupakan hal-hal yang dilihat oleh matamu sendiri itu, dan supaya jangan semuanya itu hilang dari ingatanmu seumur hidupmu. Beritahukanlah kepada anak-anakmu dan kepada cucu cicitmu semuanya itu,
10 Tell them about the day that your ancestors stood in the presence of Yahweh our God at Sinai [Mountain], when he said to me, ‘Gather the people together, in order that they can hear what I say. I want them to learn to have an awesome respect for me as long as they are alive, and I want them to teach their children to do that also.’
yakni hari itu ketika engkau berdiri di hadapan TUHAN, Allahmu, di Horeb, waktu TUHAN berfirman kepadaku: Suruhlah bangsa itu berkumpul kepada-Ku, maka Aku akan memberi mereka mendengar segala perkataan-Ku, sehingga mereka takut kepada-Ku selama mereka hidup di muka bumi dan mengajarkan demikian kepada anak-anak mereka.
11 [Tell them that] your ancestors came near the bottom of the mountain, while the mountain burned with a fire that went up to the sky, and the mountain was covered with dark clouds and black [smoke].
Lalu kamu mendekat dan berdiri di kaki gunung itu, sedang gunung itu menyala sampai ke pusar langit dalam gelap gulita, awan dan kegelapan.
12 Then Yahweh spoke to your ancestors out of the middle of the fire. Your ancestors heard him speak, but they did not see him. They only heard his voice.
Lalu berfirmanlah TUHAN kepadamu dari tengah-tengah api; suara kata-kata kamu dengar, tetapi suatu rupa tidak kamu lihat, hanya ada suara.
13 And he declared to them his agreement. That agreement contained the Ten Commandments that he wants you to obey. He wrote those on two stone tablets.
Dan Ia memberitahukan kepadamu perjanjian, yang diperintahkan-Nya kepadamu untuk dilakukan, yakni Kesepuluh Firman dan Ia menuliskannya pada dua loh batu.
14 Yahweh commanded me to teach all the rules and regulations to you, in order that you would obey them in the land that you are about to enter and occupy.”
Dan pada waktu itu aku diperintahkan TUHAN untuk mengajarkan kepadamu ketetapan dan peraturan, supaya kamu melakukannya di negeri, ke mana kamu pergi untuk mendudukinya.
15 “On the day that Yahweh spoke to your ancestors at Sinai [Mountain], he was invisible. So, be careful
Hati-hatilah sekali--sebab kamu tidak melihat sesuatu rupa pada hari TUHAN berfirman kepadamu di Horeb dari tengah-tengah api--
16 that you do not sin by making for yourselves any idol [of something that can be seen!] not make an idol that resembles any person, either a man or a woman,
supaya jangan kamu berlaku busuk dengan membuat bagimu patung yang menyerupai berhala apapun: yang berbentuk laki-laki atau perempuan;
17 or that resembles any animal or any bird
yang berbentuk binatang yang di bumi, atau berbentuk burung bersayap yang terbang di udara,
18 or any (reptile/creature that scurries across the ground) or any fish in the deep ocean.
atau berbentuk binatang yang merayap di muka bumi, atau berbentuk ikan yang ada di dalam air di bawah bumi;
19 And be careful to not look up toward the sky and be tempted to worship anything that you see there—the sun or the moon or the stars. Yahweh our God has given those to [be a blessing to] all people everywhere, [but you must not worship them].
dan juga supaya jangan engkau mengarahkan matamu ke langit, sehingga apabila engkau melihat matahari, bulan dan bintang, segenap tentara langit, engkau disesatkan untuk sujud menyembah dan beribadah kepada sekaliannya itu, yang justru diberikan TUHAN, Allahmu, kepada segala bangsa di seluruh kolong langit sebagai bagian mereka,
20 Yahweh has brought your ancestors out of Egypt, where [they were suffering as though] they were in a blazing furnace, in order that they would be people who belong to him, which is what you are today.
sedangkan TUHAN telah mengambil kamu dan membawa kamu keluar dari dapur peleburan besi, dari Mesir, untuk menjadi umat milik-Nya sendiri, seperti yang terjadi sekarang ini.
21 “But Yahweh was angry with me because of [what] your ancestors [made me do]. He vowed that I would not cross the Jordan [River] to enter the good/fertile land that he is giving to you.
Tetapi TUHAN menjadi murka terhadap aku oleh karena kamu, dan Ia bersumpah, bahwa aku tidak akan menyeberangi sungai Yordan dan tidak akan masuk ke dalam negeri yang baik, yang diberikan TUHAN, Allahmu, kepadamu menjadi milik pusakamu.
22 He said that I must die here in this land and never cross the Jordan [River]. But you will go across it, and you will occupy that land.
Sebab aku akan mati di negeri ini dan tidak akan menyeberangi sungai Yordan, tetapi kamu akan menyeberanginya dan menduduki negeri yang baik itu.
23 Be sure that you do not forget the agreement that Yahweh our God made with you. He commanded you to not make any kind of idol, because he has forbidden that.
Hati-hatilah, supaya jangan kamu melupakan perjanjian TUHAN, Allahmu, yang telah diikat-Nya dengan kamu dan membuat bagimu patung yang menyerupai apapun yang oleh TUHAN, Allahmu, dilarang kauperbuat.
24 [You must not do that] because Yahweh your God will destroy [anyone who worships idols, ] like [MET] a fire completely destroys things. He [wants people to worship only him, he] (cannot accept/will punish) people who worship anyone or anything else.
Sebab TUHAN, Allahmu, adalah api yang menghanguskan, Allah yang cemburu.
25 “When you have been in the land [of Canaan] for a long time and you have children and grandchildren, do not sin by making an idol that represents anything at all, because Yahweh says that is evil, and if you do that, you will cause him to become angry with you [and punish you].
Apabila kamu beranak cucu dan kamu telah tua di negeri itu lalu kamu berlaku busuk dengan membuat patung yang menyerupai apapun juga, dan melakukan apa yang jahat di mata TUHAN, Allahmu, sehingga kamu menimbulkan sakit hati-Nya,
26 Today I am requesting everyone who is in heaven and everyone who is on the earth [MTY] to watch what you are doing. [If you disobey what I am telling you], you will soon all die in the land that you will be crossing the Jordan [River] to occupy. You will not live very long there; Yahweh will completely get rid of many [HYP] of you.
maka aku memanggil langit dan bumi menjadi saksi terhadap kamu pada hari ini, bahwa pastilah kamu habis binasa dengan segera dari negeri ke mana kamu menyeberangi sungai Yordan untuk mendudukinya; tidak akan lanjut umurmu di sana, tetapi pastilah kamu punah.
27 And [the rest of you], Yahweh will force you to go and live among the people of many other nations. Only a few of you will (survive/remain alive) there.
TUHAN akan menyerakkan kamu di antara bangsa-bangsa dan hanya dengan jumlah yang sedikit kamu akan tinggal di antara bangsa-bangsa, ke mana TUHAN akan menyingkirkan kamu.
28 When you are in those nations, you will worship gods that are made of wood and stone, gods made by humans, gods that cannot see anything or hear anything or eat anything or smell anything.
Maka di sana kamu akan beribadah kepada allah, buatan tangan manusia, dari kayu dan batu, yang tidak dapat melihat, tidak dapat mendengar, tidak dapat makan dan tidak dapat mencium.
29 But while you are there, if you will try to know Yahweh your God, and if you try with your entire inner being to know him, he will (answer/reveal himself to) you.
Dan baru di sana engkau mencari TUHAN, Allahmu, dan menemukan-Nya, asal engkau menanyakan Dia dengan segenap hatimu dan dengan segenap jiwamu.
30 In the future, after you have been mistreated there and all those bad things happen to you, you will again worship only Yahweh and obey him.
Apabila engkau dalam keadaan terdesak dan segala hal ini menimpa engkau di kemudian hari, maka engkau akan kembali kepada TUHAN, Allahmu, dan mendengarkan suara-Nya.
31 Yahweh is a God who acts mercifully. [If you continue to obey him], he will not abandon you or destroy you or forget the agreement that he solemnly made with your ancestors.”
Sebab TUHAN, Allahmu, adalah Allah Penyayang, Ia tidak akan meninggalkan atau memusnahkan engkau dan Ia tidak akan melupakan perjanjian yang diikrarkan-Nya dengan sumpah kepada nenek moyangmu.
32 “Now think about the past, about the time before you were born, about all the time since God first created people here on the earth. You could search everywhere, in heaven and on the earth. (Has anything like this ever happened that is as great as [what Yahweh did for the Israeli people]?/Certainly nothing has ever happened that is as great [as what Yahweh did for the Israeli people].) [RHQ] (Has anyone ever heard of anything like this?/Certainly no one has ever heard of anything like this.) [RHQ]
Sebab cobalah tanyakan, dari ujung langit ke ujung langit, tentang zaman dahulu, yang ada sebelum engkau, sejak waktu Allah menciptakan manusia di atas bumi, apakah ada pernah terjadi sesuatu hal yang demikian besar atau apakah ada pernah terdengar sesuatu seperti itu.
33 (Has any group ever remained alive after they heard a god speak to them from the middle of a fire, like we did?/Certainly no group has ever remained alive after they heard a god speak to them from the middle of a fire, like we did.) [RHQ]
Pernahkah suatu bangsa mendengar suara ilahi, yang berbicara dari tengah-tengah api, seperti yang kaudengar dan tetap hidup?
34 Certainly no other god has ever tried to take a [huge] group of people from one nation [to another location], like he did for us when he brought us out of Egypt. We saw Yahweh our God use great power [MTY, DOU] when he performed many kinds of [DOU] miracles, and sent plagues, and did many other very terrifying things in Egypt for us, [and rescued us when the army of Egypt tried to fight against us].
Atau pernahkah suatu allah mencoba datang untuk mengambil baginya suatu bangsa dari tengah-tengah bangsa yang lain, dengan cobaan-cobaan, tanda-tanda serta mujizat-mujizat dan peperangan, dengan tangan yang kuat dan lengan yang teracung dan dengan kedahsyatan-kedahsy yang besar, seperti yang dilakukan TUHAN, Allahmu, bagimu di Mesir, di depan matamu?
35 “Yahweh showed all these things to you, in order that you would know that only he is truly God, and that there is no other God.
Engkau diberi melihatnya untuk mengetahui, bahwa Tuhanlah Allah, tidak ada yang lain kecuali Dia.
36 He allowed your ancestors to hear him speak from heaven in order that he could discipline them. Here on the earth he allowed them to see his great fire [on Sinai Mountain], and he spoke to them from the middle of the fire.
Dari langit Ia membiarkan engkau mendengar suara-Nya untuk mengajari engkau, di bumi Ia membiarkan engkau melihat api-Nya yang besar, dan segala perkataan-Nya kaudengar dari tengah-tengah api.
37 Because he loved our ancestors, he chose you Israelis who are their descendants, and by his great power he brought your ancestors out of Egypt.
Karena Ia mengasihi nenek moyangmu dan memilih keturunan mereka, maka Ia sendiri telah membawa engkau keluar dari Mesir dengan kekuatan-Nya yang besar,
38 [As they advanced], he expelled the people of nations that were greater and more powerful than they were, in order that he could allow them to capture their land and cause it to become yours, which is [what is happening] now.
untuk menghalau dari hadapanmu bangsa-bangsa yang lebih besar dan lebih kuat dari padamu, untuk membawa engkau masuk ke dalam negeri mereka dan memberikannya kepadamu menjadi milik pusakamu, seperti yang terjadi sekarang ini.
39 “So today you should (meditate on/think about) the fact that Yahweh is God, that he is/rules in heaven and also on the earth, and that there is no other god.
Sebab itu ketahuilah pada hari ini dan camkanlah, bahwa Tuhanlah Allah yang di langit di atas dan di bumi di bawah, tidak ada yang lain.
40 Obey all the rules and regulations that I am giving to you today, in order that things will go well for you and for your descendants, and that you will live a long time in the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you, [to belong to you] forever.”
Berpeganglah pada ketetapan dan perintah-Nya yang kusampaikan kepadamu pada hari ini, supaya baik keadaanmu dan keadaan anak-anakmu yang kemudian, dan supaya lanjut umurmu di tanah yang diberikan TUHAN, Allahmu, kepadamu untuk selamanya."
41 Then Moses/I set apart three cities that are on the east side of the Jordan [River].
Lalu Musa mengkhususkan tiga kota di seberang sungai Yordan, di sebelah timur,
42 If someone accidentally killed another person, a person who had not been his enemy previously, he could escape to one of those cities. He would be safe/protected in one of those cities [because the people there would protect him].
supaya orang yang membunuh sesamanya manusia dengan tidak sengaja dan dengan tidak memusuhinya lebih dahulu, dapat melarikan diri ke sana, sehingga ia, apabila melarikan diri ke salah satu kota itu, dapat tetap hidup.
43 For the tribe of Reuben, Moses/I set apart Bezer [city] in the (plateau/high level) area. For the tribe of Gad, Moses/I set apart Ramoth [city] in the Gilead [area]. For the tribe of Manasseh, Moses/I set apart Golan [city] in the Bashan [region].
Kota-kota itu adalah: Bezer di padang gurun, di daerah dataran tinggi, untuk orang Ruben; Ramot di Gilead untuk orang Gad dan Golan di Basan untuk orang Manasye.
44 Moses/I gave [God’s] laws to the Israeli people.
Inilah hukum Taurat yang dipaparkan Musa kepada orang Israel.
45 They included all the rules and instructions and commands that Moses/I gave to them, after they/we had come out of Egypt,
Inilah peringatan, ketetapan dan peraturan, yang dikatakan Musa kepada orang Israel, dalam perjalanan mereka keluar dari Mesir,
46 when they/we were in the valley east of the Jordan [River]. They/We were across from Beth-Peor [town], in the land that [previously] was ruled by Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group, who lived in Heshbon [city]. Moses/I and the other Israelis had defeated his [army] when they/we came out of Egypt.
di seberang sungai Yordan, di lembah di tentangan Bet-Peor, di negeri Sihon, raja orang Amori, yang diam di Hesybon, yang dipukul kalah oleh Musa dan orang Israel dalam perjalanan mereka keluar dari Mesir.
47 They/We captured Sihon’s land and the land that Og, the king of the Bashan [region], ruled. They were the two kings who ruled the Amor people-group [in the area] east of the Jordan [River].
Negerinya diduduki mereka, dan juga negeri Og, raja negeri Basan: kedua-duanya raja orang Amori, yang diam di seberang sungai Yordan, di sebelah timur,
48 Their land extended from Aroer [town in the south] along the Arnon [River], as far [north] as Sirion Mountain, which [most people] call Hermon Mountain.
mulai dari Aroer, di tepi sungai Arnon, sampai gunung Siryon--itulah gunung Hermon--
49 It also included all the area east of the Jordan [River] Valley, all the way south to the Dead Sea and east to the slopes of Pisgah [Mountain].
serta seluruh dataran di seberang sungai Yordan, di sebelah timur, sampai Laut Araba, di kaki lereng gunung Pisga.
