Deuteronomy 9
1 “You people of Israel, listen to me! You will soon [HYP] cross the Jordan [River]. In the land that you will enter, there are large cities that have very high walls [around them] that [seem to] [HYP] extend up to the sky. There are people-groups in that land that are more numerous and more powerful than you are.
"Dengarlah, hai orang Israel! Engkau akan menyeberangi sungai Yordan pada hari ini untuk memasuki serta menduduki daerah bangsa-bangsa yang lebih besar dan lebih kuat dari padamu, yakni kota-kota besar yang kubu-kubunya sampai ke langit--
2 Those people are very tall and strong. [Some of them] are giants who are descendants of Anak. You know about them, and you have heard people say that no one [RHQ] can defeat the descendants of Anak.
suatu bangsa yang besar dan tinggi, orang Enak, yang kaukenal dan yang tentangnya kaudengar orang berkata: Siapakah yang dapat bertahan menghadapi orang Enak?
3 But I want you to know that Yahweh our God will go ahead of you. He will be like a raging/roaring fire. While you advance, he will defeat and destroy them. As a result, you will quickly be able to expel some of them and kill the others, which is what Yahweh promised that you would do.
Maka ketahuilah pada hari ini, bahwa TUHAN, Allahmu, Dialah yang berjalan di depanmu laksana api yang menghanguskan; Dia akan memunahkan mereka dan Dia akan menundukkan mereka di hadapanmu. Demikianlah engkau akan menghalau dan membinasakan mereka dengan segera, seperti yang dijanjikan kepadamu oleh TUHAN.
4 “After Yahweh our God has expelled them for you, do not say to yourselves, ‘It is because we are righteous that Yahweh has enabled us to capture this land.’ The truth is that it is because the people in that land are wicked that Yahweh will expel them as you advance.
Janganlah engkau berkata dalam hatimu, apabila TUHAN, Allahmu, telah mengusir mereka dari hadapanmu: Karena jasa-jasakulah TUHAN membawa aku masuk menduduki negeri ini; padahal karena kefasikan bangsa-bangsa itulah TUHAN menghalau mereka dari hadapanmu.
5 [I say again that] it is not because you are righteous or because you do things that are righteous that you will enter and capture that land. It is because those people-groups are very wicked that Yahweh our God will expel them as you advance, and because he intends to do what he vowed to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob that he would do.
Bukan karena jasa-jasamu atau karena kebenaran hatimu engkau masuk menduduki negeri mereka, tetapi karena kefasikan bangsa-bangsa itulah, TUHAN, Allahmu, menghalau mereka dari hadapanmu, dan supaya TUHAN menepati janji yang diikrarkan-Nya dengan sumpah kepada nenek moyangmu, yakni Abraham, Ishak dan Yakub.
6 I want you to know that it is not because you are righteous that Yahweh our God is giving you this good/fertile land. I say that because [you are not righteous]; you are a very stubborn [IDM] people.”
Jadi ketahuilah, bahwa bukan karena jasa-jasamu TUHAN, Allahmu, memberikan kepadamu negeri yang baik itu untuk diduduki. Sesungguhnya engkau bangsa yang tegar tengkuk!"
7 “Never forget what your ancestors did in the desert that caused Yahweh our God to become angry. From the day that we left Egypt until the day that we arrived here, you and your ancestors have continually rebelled against him.
"Ingatlah, janganlah lupa, bahwa engkau sudah membuat TUHAN, Allahmu, gusar di padang gurun. Sejak engkau keluar dari tanah Mesir sampai kamu tiba di tempat ini, kamu menentang TUHAN.
8 Even at Sinai [Mountain] your ancestors caused Yahweh to become angry. Because he was very angry, he was ready to get rid of [all of] them.
Di Horeb kamu sudah membuat TUHAN gusar, bahkan TUHAN begitu murka kepadamu, hingga Ia mau memunahkan kamu.
9 When I climbed the mountain to receive from him the stone tablets on which he had written the Ten Commandments that he was giving to them, I stayed there 40 days and nights, and [during that time] I did not eat or drink anything.
Setelah aku mendaki gunung untuk menerima loh-loh batu, loh-loh perjanjian yang diikat TUHAN dengan kamu, maka aku tinggal empat puluh hari empat puluh malam lamanya di gunung itu; roti tidak kumakan dan air tidak kuminum.
10 Yahweh gave me the two stone tablets on which he had written [the commandments] with his own fingers. They were the words/commandments that he had spoken to your ancestors from the fire on that mountain, when they were gathered together [at the bottom of the mountain].
TUHAN memberikan kepadaku kedua loh batu, yang ditulisi jari Allah, di mana ada segala firman yang diucapkan TUHAN kepadamu di gunung itu dari tengah-tengah api, pada hari perkumpulan.
11 “At the end of those 40 days and nights, Yahweh gave me those two stone tablets on which he had written those commandments.
Sesudah lewat empat puluh hari empat puluh malam itu, maka TUHAN memberikan kepadaku kedua loh batu, loh-loh perjanjian itu.
12 But then he said to me, ‘Go down the mountain immediately, because [the people whom you are leading], the people whom you led out of Egypt, have committed a terrible sin! They have very quickly done what I commanded them not to do. They have made for themselves a metal statue [of a calf to worship].’
Lalu berfirmanlah TUHAN kepadaku: Bangunlah, turunlah dengan segera dari sini, sebab bangsamu, yang kaubawa keluar dari Mesir, telah berlaku busuk; mereka segera menyimpang dari jalan yang Kuperintahkan kepada mereka; mereka telah membuat patung tuangan.
13 Then Yahweh said to me, ‘I have been watching these people, and I see that they are very stubborn.
Lagi TUHAN berfirman kepadaku: Telah Kulihat bangsa ini dan sesungguhnya mereka adalah bangsa yang tegar tengkuk.
14 So do not try to stop me. I am going to destroy all of them, with the result that no one anywhere will remember (their names [MTY]/that they ever existed). Then I will enable you to become [the ancestor of] a nation that will be more numerous and more powerful than they are.’
Biarkanlah Aku, maka Aku akan memunahkan mereka dan menghapuskan nama mereka dari kolong langit; tetapi dari padamu akan Kubuat suatu bangsa yang lebih berkuasa dan lebih banyak dari pada bangsa ini.
15 So I turned and went down the mountain, carrying in my hands the two stone tablets on which the Ten Commandments were [written]. Fire was burning all over the mountain.
Setelah itu berpalinglah aku, lalu turun dari gunung yang sedang menyala itu dengan kedua loh perjanjian di kedua tanganku.
16 I looked, and I was shocked to see that your ancestors had committed a [great] sin against Yahweh. They very quickly had begun to do what Yahweh our God had commanded them not to do. They had [requested Aaron to] make for them [a metal image of] a calf [to worship].
Lalu aku menyaksikan, bahwa sesungguhnya kamu telah berbuat dosa terhadap TUHAN, Allahmu: kamu telah membuat suatu anak lembu tuangan, kamu telah segera menyimpang dari jalan yang diperintahkan TUHAN kepadamu.
17 So while they were watching, I lifted up those two stone tablets and threw them [on the ground], and they broke into pieces.
Maka kupeganglah kuat-kuat kedua loh itu, kulemparkan dari kedua tanganku, kupecahkan di depan matamu.
18 Then I (prostrated myself/lay) on the ground in Yahweh’s presence as I had done before, and I did not eat or drink anything for 40 days and nights. I did that because your ancestors had sinned against Yahweh and caused him to become very angry.
Sesudah itu aku sujud di hadapan TUHAN, empat puluh hari empat puluh malam lamanya, seperti yang pertama kali--roti tidak kumakan dan air tidak kuminum--karena segala dosa yang telah kamu perbuat, yakni kamu melakukan apa yang jahat di mata TUHAN, sehingga kamu menimbulkan sakit hati-Nya.
19 I was afraid/worried that because Yahweh was very angry with them, he would get rid of all of them. [But again I prayed that he would not do that], and again he listened to me [and answered my prayer].
Sebab aku gentar karena murka dan kepanasan amarah yang ditimpakan TUHAN kepadamu, sampai Ia mau memunahkan kamu. Tetapi sekali inipun TUHAN mendengarkan aku.
20 Yahweh was also very angry with Aaron [for making that golden calf] and was ready to kill Aaron. But at the same time I prayed for Aaron also, [and Yahweh answered my prayer].
Juga kepada Harun TUHAN begitu murka, hingga Ia mau membinasakannya; maka pada waktu itu aku berdoa untuk Harun juga.
21 Your ancestors had sinned by [requesting Aaron to] make [a metal statue of] a calf. So I took that statue and [I melted it] in a fire and crushed it and ground it into very tiny pieces [HYP]. Then I threw those tiny pieces into the stream that flowed down the mountain.
Tetapi hasil perbuatanmu yang berdosa, yakni anak lembu itu, kuambil, kubakar, kuhancurkan dan kugiling baik-baik sampai halus, menjadi abu, lalu abunya kulemparkan ke dalam sungai yang mengalir turun dari gunung.
22 Your ancestors also caused Yahweh to become very angry [by what they did] at [places which they named] Taberah, Massah, and Kibroth-Hattaavah.
Juga di Tabera, di Masa dan di Kibrot-Taawa, kamu selalu membuat TUHAN gusar.
23 And when we were at Kadesh-Barnea, Yahweh said to your ancestors, ‘Go up and capture the land that I am about to give to you!’ But they rebelled against him. They did not trust him, and they did not obey what he told [MTY] them to do.
Dan ketika TUHAN menyuruh kamu pergi dari Kadesh-Barnea dengan berfirman: Majulah dan dudukilah negeri yang Kuberikan kepadamu itu, maka kamu menentang titah TUHAN, Allahmu; kamu tidak percaya kepada-Nya dan tidak mendengarkan suara-Nya.
24 Your ancestors rebelled against Yahweh from the first day that I knew them, [in Egypt].
Bahkan kamu menentang TUHAN, sejak aku mengenal kamu.
25 So, [as I said], I lay on the ground in Yahweh’s presence for 40 days and nights, because Yahweh had said that he would get rid of your ancestors.
Maka aku sujud di hadapan TUHAN--empat puluh hari empat puluh malam lamanya aku sujud--, karena TUHAN telah berfirman akan memunahkan kamu,
26 And I prayed to Yahweh, saying, ‘Lord God, these people belong to you; do not destroy them. They are people whom you rescued and brought out of Egypt by your very great power. [DOU, MTY]
dan aku berdoa kepada TUHAN, kataku: Ya, Tuhan ALLAH, janganlah musnahkan umat milik-Mu sendiri, yang Kautebus dengan kebesaran-Mu, dan yang Kaubawa keluar dari Mesir dengan tangan yang kuat.
27 Do not forget [what you promised to] Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Please ignore these stubborn and wicked people and the sin that they have committed.
Ingatlah kepada hamba-hamba-Mu, kepada Abraham, Ishak dan Yakub; janganlah perhatikan ketegaran bangsa ini ataupun kefasikannya dan dosanya,
28 If you do not do that, [and if you get rid of them], the people of Egypt will [hear about it and] say that you were not able to bring them into the land that you promised to give to them. They will say that you took them into the desert only to kill them there because you hated them.
supaya negeri, dari mana Engkau membawa kami keluar, jangan berkata: Sebab TUHAN tidak dapat membawa mereka masuk ke negeri yang dijanjikan-Nya kepada mereka, dan sebab benci-Nya kepada mereka, maka Ia membawa mereka keluar untuk membunuh mereka di padang gurun.
29 [Do not forget that] they are your people. [You chose them to] belong to you. You brought them out [from Egypt] by your very great power [DOU, MTY].’”
Bukankah mereka itu umat milik-Mu sendiri, yang Kaubawa keluar dengan kekuatan-Mu yang besar dan dengan lengan-Mu yang teracung?"
