Ulangan 11

1 "Cintailah TUHAN Allahmu, dan taatilah selalu segala perintah-Nya.

Therefore you shall love the Lord your God, and shall observe his appointments, and his ordinances, and his commandments, and his judgments, always.

2 Ingatlah sekarang apa yang kamu ketahui tentang TUHAN dari pengalamanmu. Anak-anakmu tidak mempunyai pengalaman itu. Kamulah yang telah menyaksikan keagungan TUHAN Allahmu, kekuatan-Nya, kekuasaan-Nya

And you shall know this day; for [I speak] not to your children, who know not and have not seen the discipline of the Lord your God, and his wonderful works, and his strong hand, and his high arm,

3 dan keajaiban-keajaiban yang dilakukan-Nya. Kamu melihat sendiri apa yang dilakukan-Nya terhadap raja Mesir dan seluruh negerinya.

and his miracles, and his wonders, which he wrought in the midst of Egypt on Pharao king of Egypt, and all his land;

4 Kamu melihat bagaimana TUHAN memusnahkan tentara Mesir bersama semua kuda dan kereta perangnya. Mereka semua ditenggelamkan di Laut Gelagah ketika sedang mengejar kamu.

and what he did to the host of the Egyptians, and to their chariots, and their cavalry, and their host; how he made the water of the Red Sea to overwhelm the face of them as they pursued after you, and the Lord destroyed them until this day;

5 Kamu tahu apa yang dilakukan TUHAN bagimu di padang gurun sebelum kamu sampai di sini.

and all the things which he did to you in the wilderness until you came into this place;

6 Kamu juga ingat apa yang dilakukan TUHAN terhadap Datan dan Abiram, anak-anak Eliab dari suku Ruben. Di depan kamu semua, bumi terbelah lalu menelan mereka bersama keluarga, kemah, semua hamba dan ternak mereka.

and all the things that he did to Dathan and Abiron the sons of Eliab the son of Ruben, whom the earth opening her mouth swallowed up, and their houses, and their tents, and all their substance that was with them, in the midst of all Israel:

7 Ya, kamulah yang dengan mata kepala sendiri telah melihat semua keajaiban yang dilakukan TUHAN."

for your eyes have seen all the mighty works of the Lord, which he wrought among you today.

8 "Taatilah semua hukum yang saya sampaikan kepadamu hari ini, maka kamu dapat menyeberangi sungai dan masuk ke negeri yang tak lama lagi kamu diami.

And you shall keep all his commandments, as many as I command you today, that you may live, and be multiplied, and that you may go in and inherit the land, into which you go across Jordan to inherit it:

9 Dan kamu akan hidup lama di negeri yang kaya dan subur, yang dijanjikan TUHAN kepada nenek moyangmu dan kepada keturunan mereka.

that you may live long upon the land, which the Lord sware to your fathers to give to them, and to their seed after them, a land flowing with milk and honey.

10 Negeri yang kamu diami nanti tidak seperti tanah Mesir, tempat kamu dahulu tinggal. Di sana kamu harus bekerja keras untuk mengairi ladang-ladang pada waktu menabur benih.

For the land into which you go to inherit it, is not as the land of Egypt, whence you came out, whenever they sow the seed, and water it with their feet, as a garden of herbs:

11 Tetapi negeri yang akan kamu masuki terdiri dari pegunungan dan lembah-lembah; tanahnya diairi oleh hujan.

but the land into which you go to inherit it, is a land of mountains and plains; it shall drink water of the rain of heaven.

12 TUHAN Allahmu memelihara negeri itu dan menjagainya sepanjang tahun.

A land which the Lord your God surveys continually, the eyes of the Lord your God are upon it from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.

13 Jadi taatilah perintah-perintah yang saya sampaikan kepadamu hari ini; cintailah TUHAN Allahmu dan beribadatlah kepada-Nya dengan seluruh jiwa ragamu.

Now if you will indeed listen to all the commands which I charge you this day, to love the Lord your God, and to serve him with all your heart, and with all your soul,

14 Kalau kamu berbuat begitu, maka TUHAN akan menurunkan hujan atas tanahmu pada musimnya, sehabis kamu panen, dan pada waktu kamu mulai menanam. Maka kamu akan mempunyai cukup gandum, anggur dan minyak zaitun,

then he shall give to your land the early and latter rain in its season, and you shall bring in your corn, and your wine, and your oil.

15 serta rumput untuk ternakmu. Segala makanan yang kamu perlukan akan tersedia bagimu.

And he shall give food in your fields to your cattle; and when you have eaten and are full,

16 Jangan kamu mau dijauhkan dari TUHAN untuk menyembah dan mengabdi kepada ilah-ilah lain.

take heed to yourself that your heart be not puffed up, and you transgress, and serve other gods, and worship them:

17 Kalau kamu melanggar perintah itu, TUHAN akan marah kepadamu. Ia tidak akan menurunkan hujan; tanahmu menjadi kering kerontang sehingga tanaman tidak memberi hasil. Maka dalam waktu singkat kamu mati di tanah subur yang diberikan TUHAN kepadamu.

and the Lord be angry with you, and restrain the heaven; and there shall not be rain, and the earth shall not yield its fruit, and you shall perish quickly from off the good land, which the Lord has given you.

18 Ingatlah dan perhatikanlah perintah-perintah itu. Ikatkan pada lenganmu dan pasanglah pada dahimu untuk diingat-ingat.

And you shall store these words in your heart and in your soul, and you shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and it shall be fixed before your eyes.

19 Ajarkanlah kepada anak-anakmu. Bicarakanlah di dalam rumah dan di luar rumah, waktu beristirahat dan waktu bekerja.

And you shall teach them to your children, so as to speak about them when you sit in the house, and when you walk by the way, and when you sleep, and when you rise up.

20 Tuliskanlah di tiang pintu rumahmu dan di pintu gerbangmu.

And you shall write them on the lintels of your houses, and on your gates;

21 Maka kamu dan anak-anakmu akan panjang umur di negeri yang dijanjikan TUHAN Allahmu kepada nenek moyangmu. Selama ada langit di atas bumi, selama itu pula kamu akan diam di tanah itu.

that your days may be long, and the days of your children, upon the land which the Lord sware to your fathers to give to them, as the days of heaven upon the earth.

22 Taatilah dengan setia semua hukum yang saya sampaikan kepadamu: Cintailah TUHAN Allahmu, lakukanlah segala yang diperintahkan-Nya kepadamu, dan hendaklah kamu tetap setia kepada-Nya.

And it shall come to pass that if you will indeed listen to all these commands, which I charge you to observe this day, to love the Lord our God, and to walk in all his ways, and to cleave close to him;

23 Maka TUHAN akan mengusir semua bangsa itu dari hadapanmu, dan kamu akan mendiami tanah kepunyaan bangsa-bangsa yang lebih besar dan lebih kuat daripadamu.

then the Lord shall cast out all these nations before you, and you shall inherit great nations and stronger than yourselves.

24 Setiap wilayah yang kamu jejaki akan menjadi milikmu. Wilayahmu terbentang dari padang gurun di selatan sampai ke Pegunungan Libanon di utara, dan dari Sungai Efrat di timur sampai ke Laut Tengah di barat.

Every place whereon the sole of your foot shall tread shall be your; from the wilderness and Antilibanus, and from the great river, the river Euphrates, even as far as the west sea shall be your coasts.

25 Di seluruh negeri itu TUHAN Allahmu akan membuat orang-orang ketakutan terhadapmu seperti yang dijanjikan-Nya, sehingga tak seorang pun dapat menghalangi kamu.

No one shall stand before you; and the Lord your God will put the fear of you and the dread of you on the face of all the land, on which you shall tread, as he told you.

26 Hari ini kamu boleh memilih antara berkat dan kutuk.

Behold, I set before you this day the blessing and the curse;

27 Kamu akan diberkati kalau taat kepada perintah-perintah TUHAN Allahmu, yang hari ini saya sampaikan kepadamu.

the blessing, if you listen to the commands of the Lord your God, all that I command you this day;

28 Tetapi kamu akan dikutuk kalau tidak taat kepada perintah-perintah TUHAN Allahmu, melainkan berbalik untuk menyembah ilah-ilah lain yang tidak pernah kamu sembah.

and the curse, if you do not listen to the commands of the Lord our God, as many as I command you this day, and you wander from the way which I have commanded you, having gone to serve other gods, which you know not.

29 Sesudah TUHAN Allahmu membawa kamu masuk ke negeri yang kamu diami nanti, berkat itu harus kamu ucapkan dari Gunung Gerizim dan kutuk itu dari Gunung Ebal.

And it shall come to pass when the Lord your God shall have brought you into the land into which you go over to inherit it, then you shall put blessing on mount Garizin, and the curse upon mount Gaebal.

30 (Kedua gunung itu terletak di sebelah barat Sungai Yordan di wilayah orang Kanaan yang tinggal di Lembah Yordan, menghadap ke barat tak jauh dari pohon-pohon tempat ibadat di More dekat kota Gilgal.)

Behold! are not these beyond Jordan, behind, westward in the land of Chanaan, which lies westward near Golgol, by the high oak?

31 Tak lama lagi kamu menyeberangi Sungai Yordan dan menduduki tanah yang diberikan TUHAN Allahmu kepadamu. Sesudah kamu merebut tanah itu dan berdiam di situ,

For you are passing over Jordan, to go in and inherit the land, which the Lord our God gives you to inherit always, and you shall dwell in it.

32 kamu harus mentaati semua hukum yang saya sampaikan kepadamu hari ini."

And you shall take heed to do all his ordinances, and these judgments, as many as I set before you today.
