Ulangan 1
1 Buku ini berisi kata-kata yang disampaikan Musa kepada bangsa Israel ketika mereka berada di padang gurun di Lembah Yordan. Lembah itu ada di sebelah timur Sungai Yordan, dekat kota Suf, antara kota Paran di satu pihak, dan kota-kota Tofel, Laban, Hazerot dan Di-Zahab di pihak lain.
In this book is written what Moses/I said to the Israeli people. He/I told them these things when they/we were in the desert, on the east side of the Jordan [River]. They/We had set up our tents near [a place named] Suph, between Paran [town on the one side of the river] and Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth, and Dizahab [towns on the other side of the river].
2 (Dari Gunung Sinai sampai ke Kades-Barnea lewat daerah pegunungan Edom, diperlukan sebelas hari perjalanan.)
To walk from Sinai [Mountain] to the Kadesh-Barnea [oasis], people usually travel for only eleven days, going by way of the hilly area named Edom.
3 Pada tanggal satu bulan sebelas dalam tahun keempat puluh sesudah mereka meninggalkan Mesir, Musa menyampaikan kepada bangsa itu semua yang diperintahkan TUHAN untuk dikatakan kepada mereka.
Forty years after (the Israelis/we) left Egypt, in the middle of January, Moses/I told the Israeli people everything that Yahweh had commanded him/me to tell them.
4 Itu terjadi sesudah Musa mengalahkan Sihon, raja orang Amori, yang memerintah di kota Hesybon, dan Og, raja Basan, yang memerintah di kota-kota Asytarot dan Edrei.
This was after they/we had defeated Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group, who lived in Heshbon [city], and Og, the king of the Bashan [region] who lived in Ashtaroth and Edrei [towns].
5 Jadi, di sebelah timur Yordan di daerah Moab, Musa untuk pertama kalinya menerangkan hukum-hukum dan perintah-perintah TUHAN. Kata Musa,
Moses/I told them these things while the people were in the Moab region, on the east side of the Jordan [River]. He/I (explained to them/enabled them to understand) God’s laws. This is what he/I said to them:
6 "Waktu kita berada di Gunung Sinai, TUHAN Allah kita berkata, 'Kamu sudah cukup lama tinggal di gunung ini.
“Yahweh our God said to us when we were at Sinai [Mountain], ‘You have stayed for a very long time at [the bottom of] this mountain.
7 Sekarang bongkarlah perkemahanmu dan pergilah ke daerah pegunungan orang Amori dan ke seluruh daerah di sekitarnya, yaitu Lembah Yordan, daerah berbukit dan dataran rendah, daerah di sebelah selatan dan pantai Laut Tengah. Pergilah menduduki tanah Kanaan dan Pegunungan Libanon sampai ke sungai besar Efrat.
So now continue traveling. Go to the hilly area where the Amor people-group lives and to the nearby areas—to the Jordan [River] Valley, to the hilly region, to the western (foothills/hills at the bottom of the mountains), to the desert area to the south, to the [Mediterranean] Seacoast, to all of Canaan land, to the Lebanon [Mountains], and [northeast] to the great Euphrates River.
8 Aku, TUHAN, telah menjanjikan seluruh tanah itu kepada leluhurmu Abraham, Ishak dan Yakub serta keturunan mereka. Jadi pergilah menduduki tanah itu.'"
Note that I will give that land to you. I, Yahweh, promised to your ancestors Abraham and Isaac and Jacob that I would give it to them and to their descendants. So now go and occupy it.’”
9 Musa berkata kepada bangsa itu, "Waktu kita berada di Gunung Sinai, saya berkata kepadamu: Tanggung jawab untuk memimpin kamu terlalu berat bagi saya. Saya tak dapat melakukannya seorang diri, sebab
Moses/I also said to the people, “When [we were still at Sinai Mountain], I told your ancestors ‘It is a very big burden/responsibility for me to govern all of you. So I cannot do it by myself.
10 TUHAN Allahmu telah membuat jumlahmu bertambah sebanyak bintang-bintang di langit.
Yahweh our God has caused us Israelis to now become as numerous as the stars in the sky.
11 Semoga TUHAN, Allah nenek moyangmu terus menambah jumlahmu sampai seribu kali lipat, dan menjadikan kamu bangsa yang makmur seperti yang telah dijanjikan-Nya!
And I hope/desire that Yahweh, the God whom our ancestors [worshiped], will cause us to become 1,000 times as numerous as we are now and that he will bless us just like he promised to do.
12 Tetapi bagaimana mungkin saya sendirian dapat memikul tanggung jawab yang berat untuk membereskan semua persoalanmu?
But I certainly cannot [RHQ] (solve/deal with) all of your complaints/problems.
13 Pilihlah dari setiap suku beberapa orang laki-laki yang bijaksana, berpengalaman dan penuh pengertian, supaya saya mengangkat mereka untuk memimpin kamu.
So choose some men from your tribes who are wise and who have good sense and who are respected. Then I will appoint them to be your leaders.’
14 Usul itu kamu terima dengan baik.
Your ancestors replied, ‘What you have suggested is good for us to do.’
15 Sebab itu di antara pemimpin-pemimpin yang kamu pilih, beberapa orang yang bijaksana dan berpengalaman saya ambil dan saya angkat untuk mengepalai kamu. Beberapa dijadikan pemimpin atas seribu orang, yang lain atas seratus orang, atas lima puluh orang dan atas sepuluh orang. Saya juga mengangkat pemimpin-pemimpin lain untuk mengurus suku-sukumu.
So I took the wise and respected men [that your ancestors chose] from your tribes, and I appointed them to be your leaders. I appointed some to (rule/have authority) over 1,000 people, some to have authority over 100 people, some to have authority over 50 people, and some to have authority over ten people. I also appointed other officers from throughout your tribes.
16 Pada waktu itu saya menugaskan mereka begini: Perhatikanlah perselisihan-perselisihan yang timbul di antara bangsamu. Berilah keputusan yang adil, baik dalam perkara yang menyangkut orang sebangsamu atau melibatkan orang asing yang tinggal di antara kamu.
I instructed/told your leaders, ‘Listen to the disputes that occur among your people. Judge each dispute, including disputes between close relatives and quarrels between your people and people from other countries who live among you.
17 Keputusanmu janganlah berat sebelah; setiap orang harus kamu adili dengan cara yang sama, tanpa membedakan siapa orang itu. Jangan takut terhadap siapa pun, sebab keputusan yang kamu ambil datang dari Allah. Kalau suatu perkara terlalu sulit bagimu, bawalah kepada saya, supaya saya memutuskannya.
You must (be impartial/not favor one person more than another); you must treat poor people and important people equally. You must not worry about what anyone will think [about how you decide matters], because you will decide matters as God [wants you to]. If any quarrel/dispute is very difficult and you are unable to decide it, bring it to me, and I will decide.’
18 Pada waktu itu juga saya memberi petunjuk-petunjuk kepadamu tentang segala hal lain yang harus kamu lakukan."
At that time I also told you other things that you should do.”
19 "Lalu sesuai dengan perintah TUHAN Allah kita, kita meninggalkan Gunung Sinai dan berjalan melalui padang gurun yang luas dan dahsyat menuju daerah pegunungan orang Amori. Pada waktu kita sampai di Kades-Barnea,
“Then, just like Yahweh our God commanded us, we left Sinai [Mountain] and went through that huge desert that was very (dangerous/difficult to travel through), on the road to the hilly area where the Amor people-group live. We arrived at Kadesh-Barnea.
20 saya berkata: Sekarang kamu sudah sampai di daerah pegunungan orang Amori, tanah yang diberikan kepada kita oleh TUHAN Allah kita dan Allah nenek moyang kita. Lihat, di depanmu terbentang tanah itu. Pergilah untuk mendudukinya seperti yang diperintahkan TUHAN. Janganlah bimbang atau takut.
I said to your ancestors, ‘We have now come to the hilly area where the Amor people-group live. This is part of the area that Yahweh our God, the one whom our ancestors [worshiped], is giving to us.
Note that Yahweh our God is giving this land to us. So go and occupy it as he commanded. Do not be (at all/even a little bit) afraid.’
22 Tetapi kamu datang kepada saya dan berkata, 'Lebih baik kita menyuruh beberapa orang mendahului kita untuk menyelidiki negeri itu supaya mereka dapat mengatakan kepada kita jalan mana yang harus kita lalui dan bagaimana kota-kota yang akan kita datangi.'
But all of your ancestors came to me and said, ‘Before we go, we should [first] send some men there to explore the land, in order that they can return and tell us which will be the best road to go there and what kind of towns are there.’
23 Usul itu saya setujui, sebab itu saya pilih dua belas orang, seorang dari tiap suku.
I thought that it would be good to do that, so I chose twelve men, one man from each tribe.
24 Mereka memasuki daerah pegunungan itu sejauh Lembah Eskol, lalu menjelajahinya.
They went up into the hilly area as far as Eshcol Valley, and they explored all that area.
25 Kemudian mereka kembali kepada kita membawa buah-buahan yang mereka dapat di sana dan melaporkan bahwa negeri yang akan diberikan TUHAN Allah kita itu sangat subur.
They picked some of the fruit that they found there and brought it to us. They reported that the land that Yahweh our God was giving to us is very good/fertile.”
26 Tetapi kamu melawan perintah TUHAN Allahmu dan tak mau memasuki negeri itu.
“But your ancestors refused to go [and conquer that land]. They rebelled against what Yahweh our God had commanded them to do, and they would not go into that land.
27 Kamu mengomel begini, 'TUHAN benci kepada kita. Maka Ia membawa kita keluar dari Mesir untuk menyerahkan kita ke dalam tangan orang Amori supaya mereka membunuh kita.
Your ancestors [stayed] in their tents and complained saying ‘Yahweh hates us. So he has brought us here from Egypt just to allow the Amor people-group to destroy us.
28 Jadi untuk apa kita ke sana? Orang-orang yang kita kirim ke sana membuat kita takut dengan melaporkan bahwa bangsa itu lebih kuat dan lebih gagah dari kita, dan bahwa mereka tinggal di kota-kota yang temboknya setinggi langit. Mereka melihat raksasa di sana!'
(Why should we go there?/We do not want to go there.) [RHQ] The men whom we sent there have caused us to become very discouraged/afraid. They have told us that the people there are much stronger and taller than we are and that there are extremely high [HYP] walls around their towns. Also they reported that they saw [giants there that are] descendants of Anak.’
29 Tetapi saya berkata: Jangan takut kepada orang-orang itu.
Then I said to your ancestors, ‘Do not be afraid (at all/even a little bit) [DOU] of those people!
30 TUHAN Allahmu akan memimpin kamu dan berjuang untukmu seperti sudah kamu saksikan di Mesir
Yahweh our God will go ahead of you, and he will fight for you, just like you saw him do for you in Egypt
31 dan di padang gurun. Kamu melihat bagaimana TUHAN Allahmu membawa kamu dengan selamat sepanjang jalan itu sampai ke tempat ini, tiada bedanya seperti seorang ayah menggendong anaknya.
and in the desert. You saw how he brought you safely here, like a man would carry his son. [SIM]’
32 Tetapi walaupun saya sudah berkata begitu, kamu belum juga mau percaya kepada TUHAN Allahmu,
[I reminded them that] he always went ahead of them while they traveled [in the desert]. He directed them by [a pillar of] fire during the night and a [pillar of] cloud during the day. He showed them places to set up their tents. But in spite of what I said, your ancestors would not trust Yahweh our God.
33 yang berjalan di depanmu untuk mencari tempat berkemah bagimu. Ia menunjukkan jalan kepadamu di waktu malam dalam tiang api, dan di waktu siang dalam tiang awan."
34 "TUHAN mendengar keluhanmu lalu menjadi marah. Ia bersumpah,
Yahweh heard what they said, and he became angry. He solemnly declared,
35 'Tak seorang pun dari angkatan jahat ini akan memasuki negeri subur yang Kujanjikan kepada nenek moyangmu.
‘Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, will enter the land. He has obeyed me completely. So I will give to him and to his descendants [some of] the land that he explored. He is the only one of all you people who will enter that land. None of these evil people will ever see that good land which I solemnly promised to give to your ancestors.’
36 Hanya Kaleb, anak Yefune akan memasukinya, karena ia tetap setia kepada-Ku. Kepada Kaleb dan keturunannya akan Kuberikan negeri yang telah dijelajahinya itu.'
37 Kamu juga menyebabkan TUHAN marah kepadaku dan berkata, 'Musa, engkau pun tidak akan memasuki negeri itu.
But because of [what] your ancestors [did], Yahweh was also angry with me. He said to me, ‘You also will not enter that land.
38 Tetapi tabahkanlah hati pembantumu, Yosua anak Nun. Dialah yang akan memimpin Israel merebut tanah itu.'
Joshua, the son of Nun, who is your helper, will enter it. Encourage him, because he is the one who will enable you Israeli people to occupy that land.’
39 Lalu TUHAN berkata kepada kita sekalian, 'Anak-anakmu yang masih terlalu kecil untuk membedakan yang baik dari yang jahat, anak-anak yang menurut katamu akan dirampas oleh musuh-musuhmu, kepada merekalah akan Kuberikan tanah itu, dan mereka akan mendudukinya.
Then Yahweh said to all of us, ‘You said that your children would be captured by your enemies. Because they are very young, they do not yet know what is good and what is evil. But they are the ones to whom I will give that land, and they will enter it and occupy it.
40 Tetapi kamu, kembalilah ke padang gurun lewat jalan yang menuju Teluk Akaba.'
But as for you, turn around and go back into the desert, toward the (Red Sea/Gulf of Aqaba).’
41 Kamu menjawab, 'Musa, kami telah berdosa terhadap TUHAN. Tetapi sekarang kami mau maju berperang seperti yang diperintahkan TUHAN, Allah kita.' Lalu masing-masing di antara kamu bersiap-siap untuk berperang, dengan anggapan bahwa menyerbu daerah pegunungan itu soal mudah.
Then your ancestors replied, ‘We have sinned; we have disobeyed Yahweh. So we will go and attack [the people who live in] that land, just like Yahweh our God commanded us to do.’ And each of their men put on his weapons, and they thought that it would be easy to invade the hilly region.
42 Tetapi TUHAN berkata kepada saya, 'Jangan kaubiarkan mereka berperang, karena Aku tak akan menyertai mereka, nanti mereka dikalahkan oleh musuh mereka.'
But Yahweh said to me, ‘Tell them, “Do not go up there and attack those people, because I will not go with you. If you go, your enemies will defeat you.”’
43 Saya menyampaikan kepadamu apa yang dikatakan TUHAN, tetapi kamu tidak peduli. Kamu menentang perintah TUHAN, dan dengan congkak pergi ke daerah pegunungan itu.
So I told that to your ancestors, but they would not heed what I said. They [again] rebelled against what Yahweh commanded them to do. Their soldiers proudly/arrogantly marched up into that hilly region.
44 Lalu orang Amori yang mendiami daerah pegunungan itu keluar melawan kamu. Jumlah mereka banyak sekali, seperti kawanan lebah. Mereka mengejar kamu sejauh Horma, lalu mengalahkan kamu di daerah pegunungan Edom.
Then the men of the Amor people-group who lived in that region came out [of their towns] and attacked those soldiers. They pursued your ancestors’ soldiers like [a swarm of] bees pursues people, and they pursued them [south] from the Edom area and defeated them at Hormah [city].
45 Kemudian kamu kembali dan berseru kepada TUHAN minta tolong, tetapi Ia tak mau mendengarkan atau memperhatikan kamu."
So your ancestors went back [to Kadesh-Barnea] and cried out to request Yahweh [to help them], but he did not heed them. He did not pay any attention to them [DOU].
46 "Sesudah itu kita tinggal di Kades lama sekali.
So we stayed there at Kadesh-Barnea for a long time.”
