Ulangan 12

1 "Inilah hukum-hukum yang harus kamu taati seumur hidupmu di negeri yang diberikan kepadamu oleh TUHAN, Allah nenek moyangmu.

And these [are] the ordinances and the judgments, which you shall observe to do in the land, which the Lord God of your fathers gives you for an inheritance, all the days which you live upon the land.

2 Sesudah masuk ke negeri itu kamu harus menghancurkan tempat-tempat pemujaan di atas gunung-gunung tinggi, di bukit-bukit dan di bawah pohon-pohon rindang, tempat bangsa yang tinggal di situ menyembah ilah-ilah mereka.

You shall utterly destroy all the places in which they served their gods, whose [land] you inherit, on the high mountains and on the hills, and under the thick tree.

3 Robohkanlah mezbah-mezbah mereka dan remukkan tiang-tiang batu yang mereka anggap keramat. Bakarlah lambang-lambang Asyera, dan hancurkan patung-patung berhala mereka, sehingga ilah-ilah itu tak akan disembah lagi di tempat-tempat itu.

And you shall destroy their altars, and break in pieces their pillars, and you shall cut down their groves, and you shall burn with fire the graven images of their gods, and you shall abolish their name out of that place.

4 Pada waktu kamu menyembah TUHAN Allahmu, janganlah meniru cara orang-orang itu menyembah ilah-ilah mereka.

You shall not do so to the Lord your God.

5 Dari seluruh wilayah suku-suku Israel, TUHAN Allahmu akan memilih satu tempat supaya bangsa kita dapat datang ke hadapan-Nya dan menyembah Dia.

But in the place which the Lord your God shall choose in one of your cities to name his name there, and to be called upon, you shall even seek [him] out and go there.

6 Ke tempat itulah harus kamu bawa kurban-kurban bakaran serta kurban-kurban yang lain, persembahan sepersepuluhanmu serta persembahan-persemb lain, kurban pembayar kaulmu, kurban sukarelamu dan anak sapi dan kambing dombamu yang pertama lahir.

And you shall carry there your whole burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, and your first fruits, and your vowed-offerings, and your free will offerings, and your offerings of thanksgiving, the firstborn of your herds, and of your flocks.

7 Di situ juga, di hadapan TUHAN Allahmu, kamu bersama-sama dengan keluargamu harus makan dan bergembira atas usaha-usahamu yang berhasil karena diberkati TUHAN Allahmu.

And you shall eat there before the Lord your God, and you shall rejoice in all the things on which you shall lay your hand, you and your houses, as the Lord your God has blessed you.

8 Kalau saat itu sudah datang, kamu jangan lagi berbuat seperti sekarang. Sampai sekarang kamu beribadat sesuka hatimu,

You shall not do altogether as we do here today, every man that which is pleasing in his own sight.

9 karena kamu belum masuk ke negeri yang diberikan TUHAN Allahmu kepadamu, tempat kamu dapat menetap dengan aman.

For hitherto you have not arrived at the rest and the inheritance, which the Lord our God gives you.

10 Sesudah kamu menyeberangi Sungai Yordan, TUHAN Allahmu akan menolong kamu menduduki dan mendiami tanah di seberang sungai itu. Ia akan melindungi kamu dari segala musuh, dan kamu akan hidup dengan aman dan tentram.

And you shall go over Jordan, and shall dwell in the land, which the Lord our God takes as an inheritance for you; and he shall give you rest from all your enemies round about, and you shall dwell safely.

11 Kemudian TUHAN Allahmu akan memilih suatu tempat di mana Ia harus disembah. Ke situlah kamu harus pergi membawa segala yang telah kuperintahkan, yaitu kurban bakaran dan kurban-kurban lain, persembahan sepersepuluhan dan persembahan khusus yang kamu janjikan kepada TUHAN.

And there shall be a place which the Lord your God shall choose for his name to be called there, there shall you bring all things that I order you today; your whole burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and the first fruits of your hands, and every choice gift of yours, whatever you shall vow to the Lord your God.

12 Bergembiralah di hadapan TUHAN Allahmu, bersama-sama dengan anak-anakmu, hamba-hambamu dan orang-orang Lewi yang tinggal di kota-kotamu, oleh karena orang Lewi tidak mendapat bagian tanah di negerimu.

And you shall rejoice before the Lord your God, you and your sons, and your daughters, and your menservants and your maidservants, and the Levite that is at your gates; because he has no portion or inheritance with you.

13 Kamu tak boleh mempersembahkan kurbanmu di sembarang tempat yang kamu pilih sendiri,

Take heed to yourself that you offer not your whole burnt offerings in any place which you shall see;

14 tetapi hanya di tempat yang dipilih TUHAN di daerah salah satu sukumu. Di situ saja kamu harus mempersembahkan kurban bakaran dan melakukan hal lain yang saya perintahkan kepadamu.

save in the place which the Lord your God shall choose, in one of your tribes, there shall you offer your whole burnt offerings, and there shall you do all things whatever I charge you this day.

15 Tetapi kamu bebas untuk memotong ternakmu dan makan dagingnya di mana saja kamu tinggal. Kamu boleh makan sebanyak yang diberikan TUHAN Allahmu kepadamu. Setiap orang, baik yang bersih maupun yang najis, boleh makan daging itu, seperti kamu boleh makan daging kijang atau daging rusa.

But you shall kill according to all your desire, and shall eat flesh according to the blessing of the Lord your God, which he has given you in every city; the unclean that is within you and the clean shall eat it on equal terms, as the doe or the stag.

16 Hanya darahnya tidak boleh dimakan, tetapi harus ditumpahkan ke tanah seperti air.

Only you shall not eat the blood; you shall pour it out on the ground as water.

17 Di tempat kediamanmu kamu tak boleh makan persembahan sepersepuluhan dari gandummu, anggurmu, minyak zaitunmu, sapi atau kambing dombamu yang pertama lahir, kurban pembayar kaulmu, kurban sukarelamu atau persembahan lain.

You shall not be able to eat in your cities the tithe of your corn, and of your wine, and of your oil, the firstborn of your herd and of your flock, and all [your] vows as many as you shall have vowed, and your thank-offerings, and the first fruits of your hands.

18 Kamu dan anak-anakmu, bersama-sama dengan hamba-hambamu dan orang-orang Lewi yang tinggal di kotamu, harus makan persembahan itu di hadapan TUHAN Allahmu, di tempat yang dipilih TUHAN Allahmu. Dan di tempat itu kamu harus bergembira karena segala usahamu.

But before the Lord your God you shall eat it, in the place which the Lord your God shall choose for himself, you, and your son, and your daughter, your man-servant, and your maidservant, and the stranger that is within your gates; and you shall rejoice before the Lord your God, on whatever you shall lay your hand.

19 Jagalah jangan sampai kamu membiarkan kaum Lewi terlantar selama kamu hidup di negeri itu.

Take heed to yourself that you do not desert the Levite all the time that you live upon the earth.

20 Sesudah TUHAN Allahmu memperluas batas-batas negerimu seperti yang dijanjikan-Nya, kamu boleh makan daging sesuka hatimu.

And if the Lord your God shall enlarge your borders, as he said to you, and you shall say, I will eat flesh; if your soul should desire to eat flesh, you shall eat flesh according to all the desire of your soul.

21 Kalau tempat yang dipilih TUHAN Allahmu terlalu jauh dari tempatmu, kamu boleh memotong seekor sapi, domba atau kambing yang diberikan TUHAN kepadamu, dan memakan dagingnya di tempatmu dengan sesuka hatimu, seperti yang sudah saya katakan kepadamu.

And if the place be far from you, which the Lord your God shall choose for himself, that his name be called upon it, then you shall kill of your herd and of your flock which God shall have given you, even as I commanded you, and you shall eat in your cities according to the desire of your soul.

22 Setiap orang, baik yang bersih maupun yang najis, boleh makan daging itu, seperti kamu boleh makan daging rusa atau daging kijang.

As the doe and the stag are eaten, so shall you eat it; the unclean in you and the clean shall eat it in like manner.

23 Tetapi daging yang masih ada darahnya tak boleh dimakan, karena nyawa ada di dalam darah, dan kamu tak boleh makan nyawa bersama dengan dagingnya.

Take diligent heed that you eat no blood, for blood [is] the life of it; the life shall not be eaten with the flesh.

24 Darahnya sama sekali tak boleh dimakan, tetapi harus ditumpahkan ke tanah seperti air.

You shall not eat [it]; you shall pour it out on the ground as water.

25 Kalau kamu mentaati perintah itu, TUHAN akan senang, dan kamu serta keturunanmu akan sejahtera.

You shall not eat it, that it may be well with you and with your sons after you, if you shall do that which is good and pleasing before the Lord your God.

26 Segala kurban dan persembahan yang telah kamu janjikan kepada TUHAN, harus kamu bawa ke tempat yang dipilih TUHAN.

But you shall take your holy things, if you have any, and your vowed-offerings, and come to the place which the Lord your God shall choose to have his name named upon it.

27 Kurban bakaran dan kurban yang dimakan dagingnya harus dipersembahkan di atas mezbah TUHAN Allahmu dan darahnya ditumpahkan ke atas mezbah itu.

And you shall sacrifice your whole burnt offerings, you shall offer the flesh upon the altar of the Lord your God; but the blood of your sacrifices you shall pour out at the foot of the altar of the Lord your God, but the flesh you shall eat.

28 Perhatikanlah dengan baik segala yang sudah saya perintahkan kepadamu, maka kamu melakukan yang baik dan berkenan kepada TUHAN Allahmu, sehingga kamu dan keturunanmu selamat dan sejahtera untuk selama-lamanya."

Beware and listen, and you shall do all the commands which I charge you, that it may be well with you and with your sons for ever, if you shall do that which is pleasing and good before the Lord your God.

29 "TUHAN Allahmu akan membinasakan bangsa-bangsa yang tinggal di negeri itu, sehingga kamu dapat menduduki dan mendiaminya.

And if the Lord your God shall utterly destroy the nations, to whom you go in there to inherit their land, from before you, and you shall inherit it, and dwell in their land;

30 Sesudah bangsa-bangsa itu dibinasakan, berhati-hatilah jangan sampai kamu meniru mereka menyembah ilah-ilah lain, sebab perbuatan itu mendatangkan bencana.

take heed to yourself that you seek not to follow them after they are destroyed before you, saying, How do these nations act towards their gods? I will do likewise.

31 Cara bangsa-bangsa itu menyembah ilah-ilah mereka, janganlah kamu tiru untuk menyembah TUHAN Allahmu, sebab mereka menyembah dengan melakukan perbuatan-perbuatan keji yang dibenci TUHAN. Bahkan anak-anak mereka sendiri mereka bakar di atas mezbah sebagai kurban untuk ilah-ilah mereka.

You shall not do so to your God; for they have sacrificed to their gods the abominations of the Lord which he hates, for they burn their sons and their daughters in fire to their gods.

32 Lakukanlah segala yang saya perintahkan kepadamu; jangan ditambah atau dikurangi.

Every word that I command you this day, it shall you observe to do: you shall not add to it, nor diminish from it.
