Ulangan 12
1 "Inilah hukum-hukum yang harus kamu taati seumur hidupmu di negeri yang diberikan kepadamu oleh TUHAN, Allah nenek moyangmu.
These are the statutes and the decrees that you will keep in the land that Yahweh, the God of your fathers, has given you to possess, all the days that you live on the earth.
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 will surely destroy all the places where the nations that you will dispossess worshiped their gods, on the high mountains, on the hills, and under every green 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.
You must break down their altars, dash in pieces their stone pillars, and burn their Asherah poles. You must cut down the carved figures of their gods and destroy their name out of that place.
4 Pada waktu kamu menyembah TUHAN Allahmu, janganlah meniru cara orang-orang itu menyembah ilah-ilah mereka.
You will not worship Yahweh your God like that.
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 to the place that Yahweh your God will choose out of all your tribes to put his name, that will be the place where he lives, and it is there that you will go.
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.
It is there that you will bring your burnt offerings, your sacrifices, your tithes, and the offerings presented by your hand, your offerings for vows, your freewill offerings, and the firstborn of your herds and 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.
It is there that you will eat before Yahweh your God and rejoice about everything that you have put your hand to, you and your households, where Yahweh your God has blessed you.
8 Kalau saat itu sudah datang, kamu jangan lagi berbuat seperti sekarang. Sampai sekarang kamu beribadat sesuka hatimu,
You will not do all the things that we are doing here today; now everyone is doing whatever is right in his own eyes;
9 karena kamu belum masuk ke negeri yang diberikan TUHAN Allahmu kepadamu, tempat kamu dapat menetap dengan aman.
for you have not yet come to the rest, to the inheritance that Yahweh your God is giving 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.
But when you go over the Jordan and live in the land that Yahweh your God is causing you to inherit, and he will give you rest from all your enemies round about, so that you live in safety.
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.
Then to the place where Yahweh your God will choose to cause his name to live there—there you will bring everything I command you: your burnt offerings, your sacrifices, your tithes, and the offerings presented by your hand, and all your choice offerings for vows that you will vow to Yahweh.
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.
You will rejoice before Yahweh your God—you, your sons, your daughters, your male servants, your female servants, and the Levites who are within your gate, because he has no portion or inheritance among you.
13 Kamu tak boleh mempersembahkan kurbanmu di sembarang tempat yang kamu pilih sendiri,
Pay attention to yourself that you do not offer your burnt offerings at every place that you 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.
but it is at the place that Yahweh will choose among one of your tribes that you will offer your burnt offerings, and there you will do everything that I command you.
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.
However, you may kill and eat animals within all your gates, as you wish, receiving the blessing of Yahweh your God for all that he has given you; the unclean and the clean persons both may eat of it, animals such as the gazelle and the deer.
16 Hanya darahnya tidak boleh dimakan, tetapi harus ditumpahkan ke tanah seperti air.
But you will not eat the blood; you will pour it out on the earth like 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 may not eat within your gates from the tithe of your grain, your new wine, your oil, or the firstborn of your herd or flock; and you may not eat any of the meat you sacrifice along with any of your vows that you make, nor that of your freewill offerings, nor that of the offering you present with your hand.
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.
Instead, you will eat them before Yahweh your God in the place that Yahweh your God will choose—you, your son, your daughter, your male servant, your female servant, and the Levite who is within your gates; you will rejoice before Yahweh your God about everything to which you put your hand.
19 Jagalah jangan sampai kamu membiarkan kaum Lewi terlantar selama kamu hidup di negeri itu.
Pay attention to yourself so that you do not forsake the Levite as long as you live on your land.
20 Sesudah TUHAN Allahmu memperluas batas-batas negerimu seperti yang dijanjikan-Nya, kamu boleh makan daging sesuka hatimu.
When Yahweh your God enlarges your borders, as he has promised you, and you say, 'I will eat flesh,' because of your desire to eat meat, you may eat meat, as your soul desires.
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.
If the place that Yahweh your God chooses to put his name is too far from you, then you will kill some of your herd and your flock that Yahweh has given you, as I have commanded you; you may eat within your gates, as your soul desires.
22 Setiap orang, baik yang bersih maupun yang najis, boleh makan daging itu, seperti kamu boleh makan daging rusa atau daging kijang.
Like the gazelle and the deer are eaten, so you will eat of it; the unclean and the clean persons may eat of it alike.
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.
Only be sure that you do not consume the blood, for the blood is the life; you will not eat the life with the meat.
24 Darahnya sama sekali tak boleh dimakan, tetapi harus ditumpahkan ke tanah seperti air.
You will not eat it; you will pour it out on the earth like water.
25 Kalau kamu mentaati perintah itu, TUHAN akan senang, dan kamu serta keturunanmu akan sejahtera.
You will not eat it, so that it may go well with you, and with your children after you, when you will do what is right in the eyes of Yahweh.
26 Segala kurban dan persembahan yang telah kamu janjikan kepada TUHAN, harus kamu bawa ke tempat yang dipilih TUHAN.
But the things that belong to Yahweh that you have and the offerings for your vows—you will take these and go to the place that Yahweh chooses.
27 Kurban bakaran dan kurban yang dimakan dagingnya harus dipersembahkan di atas mezbah TUHAN Allahmu dan darahnya ditumpahkan ke atas mezbah itu.
There you will offer your burnt offerings, the meat and the blood, on the altar of Yahweh your God; the blood of your sacrifices will be poured out on the altar of Yahweh your God, and you will eat the flesh.
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."
Observe and listen to all these words that I command you, that it may go well with you and with your children after you forever, when you do what is good and right in the eyes of Yahweh your God.
29 "TUHAN Allahmu akan membinasakan bangsa-bangsa yang tinggal di negeri itu, sehingga kamu dapat menduduki dan mendiaminya.
When Yahweh your God cuts off the nations from before you, when you go in to dispossess them, and you dispossess them, and live 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.
pay attention to yourself that you are not trapped into following them, after they are destroyed from before you—trapped into investigating their gods, into asking, 'How do these nations worship their gods? I will do the same.'
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 must not worship Yahweh your God in that way, for everything that is an abomination to Yahweh, things that he hates—they have done these with their gods; they even burn their sons and their daughters in fire for their gods.
32 Lakukanlah segala yang saya perintahkan kepadamu; jangan ditambah atau dikurangi.
Whatever I command you, observe it. Do not add to it or take away from it.
