Exodus 23
1 “Do not tell to others (false rumors/untrue reports) about other people. Do not help someone who is guilty by (testifying falsely/lying) [about what happened].
“Jangan menyebarkan berita bohong. Jangan membantu orang bersalah dengan memberikan kesaksian palsu di pengadilan.
2 Do not join a group of people who are planning to do something evil. Do not testify the way the [crowd wants you to], if that will prevent [the judge from deciding the case] justly/fairly.
“Jangan mengikuti pengaruh orang banyak yang mendesak untuk melakukan sesuatu yang tidak adil. Jangan memihak kepada mereka dengan bersaksi palsu di pengadilan untuk memutarbalikkan kebenaran.
3 When a poor person is on trial, do not [testify in] his favor [just] because he is poor [and you feel sorry for him].
Jangan membela orang yang bersalah dalam perkara pengadilan hanya karena dia miskin.
4 If you see someone’s bull or donkey when it is wandering away [loose], take it back to [its owner, even if the owner] is your enemy.
“Jika kamu melihat sapi atau keledai milik musuhmu tersesat, kembalikanlah kepadanya.
5 If you see someone’s donkey that has fallen down [because of its heavy load], help the owner to get the donkey up again, [even if] he is someone who hates you. Do not just walk away [without helping him].
Jika kamu melihat keledai seseorang yang membencimu jatuh karena bebannya terlalu berat, bantulah dia agar keledainya berdiri kembali. Jangan tinggalkan orang itu dalam keadaan susah.
6 Decide the cases of poor people who are on trial [as] fairly [as you decide the cases of other people].
“Jangan memperlakukan orang miskin dengan tidak adil dalam perkaranya di pengadilan.
7 Do not accuse people falsely. Do not decide that innocent and righteous [DOU] people should be executed, because I will (punish/not forgive) people who do such an evil thing.
“Jangan membuat tuduhan palsu dan jangan menghukum mati orang yang tidak bersalah. Aku tidak akan mengampuni orang yang melakukan kejahatan itu.
8 Do not accept money that is a bribe, because officials who accept bribes are not able to [MTY] decide what is right to do, and they do not allow innocent people to be treated fairly.
“Jangan menerima suap, karena suap membutakan orang dan memutarbalikkan kesaksian yang benar.
9 Do not mistreat foreigners [who live among you]. You know [how people often treat] foreigners, because the Egyptians [did not treat you well when] you were foreigners there.
“Jangan menindas orang asing yang menjadi pendatang, karena kalian pernah hidup sebagai orang asing di Mesir dan tahu bagaimana rasanya menjadi pendatang.”
10 Plant [seeds] in your ground and gather the harvest for six years.
“Selama enam tahun kamu boleh menanami ladang-ladangmu dan memanen hasilnya.
11 But during the seventh year you must not plant anything. [If things grow without your planting seeds], allow poor people [to harvest and] eat the crops. If there are still crops (left over/that they do not harvest), allow wild animals to eat them. Do the same thing with your grapevines/vineyards and your olive trees.
Tetapi tahun yang ketujuh adalah Tahun Sabat. Pada tahun itu biarkanlah ladangmu, supaya orang miskin di antara kalian dapat mengumpulkan makanan dari situ dan binatang liar bisa memakan sisanya. Lakukanlah juga demikian pada kebun anggur dan kebun zaitunmu.
12 [You may] work for six days [each week], but on the seventh day you must rest [and not work]. And on the seventh day you must allow your work animals and your slaves and the foreigners [who live among you] also [to rest and] be refreshed.
“Bekerjalah selama enam hari. Tetapi pada hari yang ketujuh kamu harus berhenti bekerja, supaya sapimu, keledaimu, semua budakmu, dan pendatang asing yang tinggal padamu bisa beristirahat.
13 Make certain that you obey everything that I have commanded [you to do]. Do not pray to [MTY] other gods. Do not even mention their names.”
“Taatilah semua perkataan-Ku dengan teliti. Dan jangan sekali-kali menyebut nama dewa dalam situasi apa pun!”
14 “Every year you must celebrate three festivals to [honor] me.
“Setiap tahun, rayakanlah tiga perayaan ini untuk menghormati Aku:
15 [The first one] is the Festival of Bread That Has No Yeast. Celebrate it in the month [that is named] Abib. That is the month in which you left Egypt. Celebrate it in the way that I commanded you. And always bring [LIT] an offering when you come to worship me.
Yang pertama adalah Hari Raya Roti Tidak Beragi. Selama seminggu kamu tidak boleh makan roti yang mengandung ragi sebagaimana yang sudah Aku perintahkan kepada kalian. Rayakanlah ini setiap tahun pada waktu yang sudah ditetapkan pada bulan Abib, karena pada bulan itulah kalian keluar dari Mesir. Setiap kali kamu menghadiri perayaan di hadapan-Ku, kamu harus mempersembahkan kurban.
16 The second one is the Festival of Harvesting. During that festival you must offer to me the first parts/harvest of your crops that grow from the seeds that you planted. The third one is the Festival of Living in Temporary Shelters. That will be after you finish harvesting your grain and grapes and fruit.
“Yang kedua adalah Hari Raya Panen. Pada perayaan ini, persembahkanlah hasil panenmu yang pertama kepada-Ku. “Yang ketiga adalah Hari Raya Pondok Cabang-cabang Berdaun. Rayakanlah ini pada akhir musim panen, sesudah kamu mengumpulkan seluruh hasil kebun dan ladangmu.
17 Every year, at each of these times, all the men must gather together to worship me, Yahweh God.
Pada ketiga perayaan tahunan itu, semua laki-laki harus menghadap kepada-Ku, TUHAN Allahmu, di kemah-Ku.
18 When you sacrifice an animal [and offer it] to me, you must not offer bread that has been baked with yeast. [When you] offer sacrifices, [burn] the fat [from the animals on that same day]. Do not allow any fat to remain until the next morning.
“Saat mempersembahkan kurban sembelihan, jangan mempersembahkan roti yang beragi. Jangan membiarkan lemak dari kurban perayaan tersisa sampai besok paginya.
19 Each year, when you harvest your crops, bring to the place where you worship me, Yahweh God, the first part of what you harvest. When you kill a (young animal/kid [or lamb or calf)], do not [prepare to eat it by] boiling it in its mother’s milk.”
“Bawalah hasil terbaik panen pertamamu ke kemah TUHAN Allahmu. “Jangan memasak daging anak kambing dengan air susu induknya.”
20 “Note this: I am going to send an angel ahead of you, to guard you as you travel and to bring you safely to the place that I have prepared [for you]. Pay attention to what he says and obey him. Do not rebel against him, because he will have my authority [MTY] and he will (punish/not forgive) [LIT] you if you rebel against him.
“Aku akan mengutus malaikat untuk menjaga kalian dalam perjalanan dan menuntun kalian menuju tempat yang sudah Aku persiapkan.
Perhatikan dan taatilah dia. Jangan menentangnya, karena dia mewakili Aku. Dia tidak akan mengampuni pemberontakanmu.
22 But if you pay attention to what he says and if you do all that I tell you [to do], I will fight strongly [DOU] against all of your enemies.
Namun, apabila kalian sungguh-sungguh menaati dia dan melakukan semua perintah-Ku, Aku akan memusuhi semua musuhmu dan melawan semua lawanmu.
23 My angel will go ahead of you, and will take you to where the Amor and Heth and Periz and Canaan and Hiv and Jebus people-groups live, and I will completely get rid of them.
Malaikat itu akan berjalan di depan kalian dan memimpin kalian ke negeri yang didiami orang Amori, Het, Feris, Kanaan, Hewi, dan Yebus. Aku akan memusnahkan mereka.
24 Do not bow down before their gods/idols or worship them. And do not do the things [that they think that their gods want] them to do. Completely destroy their gods/idols, and smash to pieces their sacred stones.
Jangan bersujud kepada dewa-dewa mereka, dan jangan menyembah atau menghormati dewa-dewa itu dengan cara apa pun. Jangan pula meniru cara ibadah mereka. Tetapi musnahkanlah patung-patung berhala mereka dan hancurkanlah tugu-tugu tempat mereka beribadat.
25 You must worship me, Yahweh God. [If you do that], I will bless your (OR, bless [you by giving you]) food and water, and I will protect you from becoming sick.
“Sembahlah hanya Aku, TUHAN Allahmu, maka Aku akan memberkatimu sehingga kamu tidak akan kekurangan makanan dan minuman, dan Aku akan menjauhkan kamu dari penyakit.
26 No women in your land will have (miscarriages/babies that will die after being born prematurely), and no women will be unable to become pregnant. And I will enable you to live a long time.
Tidak akan ada perempuan di negerimu yang akan keguguran atau mandul, dan Aku akan memberimu umur panjang.
27 I will cause the people who oppose you to become very afraid of me. I will cause the people whom you fight against to become very confused. And then I will cause them to turn around and run away from you.
“Aku akan membuat semua bangsa musuh yang kalian hadapi ketakutan. Mereka akan menjadi kalang kabut dan lari dari hadapan kalian.
28 I will cause your enemies to become terrified. And I will expel the Hiv, Canaan, and Heth people-groups from your land.
Aku akan membuat orang Hewi, Kanaan, dan Het begitu ketakutan ketika kalian siap memasuki daerah mereka, sehingga mereka lari dari kalian.
29 I will not expel [all of] them in less than one year. If I did that, your land would become deserted, and there would be very many wild animals ([that would attack you/you would not be able to control]).
Tetapi Aku tidak akan mengusir mereka semuanya dalam waktu satu tahun, supaya negeri itu tidak terlantar dan binatang buas tidak bertambah banyak sehingga membahayakan kalian.
30 I will expel those people-groups slowly, a few at a time, until the number of your people increases and you are able to live everywhere in the land.
Aku akan mengusir mereka sedikit demi sedikit sampai jumlah kalian bertambah dan cukup banyak untuk menguasai negeri itu.
31 I will cause the borders of your land to extend from the (Red Sea/Gulf of Aqaba) [in the southeast] to the Mediterranean Sea [in the northwest], and from the [Sinai] Desert [in the southwest] to the [Euphrates] River [in the northeast of the country]. I will enable you [MTY] to expel the people who live there, so that you will expel them as you occupy more of the country.
Aku akan menetapkan batas daerah kalian dari Laut Merah sampai Laut Tengah, dari padang belantara sampai sungai Efrat. Aku akan menyerahkan penghuni negeri itu kepada kalian dan kalian akan mengusir mereka.
32 You must not make any agreement/treaty with those people or with their gods.
“Janganlah membuat perjanjian apa pun dengan orang-orang negeri itu, dan jangan bersepakat untuk menyembah dewa-dewa mereka.
33 Do not allow [those people] to live in your land, in order that they do not cause you to sin against me. If you worship their gods, [you will not be able to escape from worshiping them and sinning against me, just like someone caught] in a trap [is unable to escape] [MET].”
Janganlah membiarkan mereka tinggal di antara kalian. Apabila kalian membiarkan mereka tinggal di sana, mereka akan membuat kalian berdosa terhadap-Ku dengan menyembah dewa-dewa mereka, sehingga kalian terjerat dalam kejahatan itu.”
