Ulangan 31
1 Musa berbicara lagi kepada bangsa Israel,
And Moses goes and speaks these words to all Israel,
2 katanya, "Sekarang umur saya sudah seratus dua puluh tahun dan saya tak mampu lagi menjadi pemimpinmu. Selain itu TUHAN telah berkata bahwa saya tak boleh menyeberangi Sungai Yordan.
and he says to them, “I [am] a son of one hundred and twenty years today; I am not able to go out and to come in anymore, and YHWH has said to me, You do not pass over this Jordan.
3 TUHAN Allahmu sendiri akan berjalan di depanmu dan membinasakan bangsa-bangsa yang tinggal di situ, sehingga kamu dapat menduduki tanah mereka. Yosua akan menjadi pemimpinmu, seperti yang dikatakan TUHAN.
Your God YHWH—He is passing over before you; He destroys these nations from before you, and you have possessed them; Joshua—he is passing over before you, as YHWH has spoken.
4 TUHAN akan membinasakan bangsa-bangsa itu, seperti Ia mengalahkan Sihon dan Og, raja orang Amori, serta menghancurkan negeri mereka.
And YHWH has done to them as he has done to Sihon and to Og, kings of the Amorite, and to their land, whom He destroyed.
5 TUHAN akan memberi kamu kemenangan atas mereka, lalu mereka harus kamu perlakukan tepat seperti yang saya katakan kepadamu.
And YHWH has given them before your face, and you have done to them according to all the command which I have commanded you;
6 Hendaklah kamu teguh hati dan berani! Jangan takut kepada mereka, sebab TUHAN Allahmu sendiri yang akan menolong kamu. Ia tidak akan mengecewakan atau meninggalkan kamu."
be strong and courageous, do not fear, nor be terrified because of them, for your God YHWH [is] He who is going with you; He does not fail you nor forsake you.”
7 Lalu Musa memanggil Yosua, dan di hadapan seluruh bangsa Israel ia berkata kepadanya, "Hendaklah engkau teguh hati dan berani, Yosua! Engkaulah yang akan memimpin bangsa ini untuk menduduki negeri yang dijanjikan TUHAN kepada nenek moyang mereka.
And Moses calls for Joshua and says to him before the eyes of all Israel, “Be strong and courageous, for you go in with this people to the land which YHWH has sworn to their fathers to give to them, and you cause them to inherit it;
8 TUHAN sendiri membimbing dan menolong engkau. Ia tak akan mengecewakan atau meninggalkan engkau. Sebab itu janganlah takut atau cemas."
and YHWH [is] He who is going before you, He Himself is with you; He does not fail you nor forsake you; do not fear, nor be frightened.”
9 Lalu Musa menuliskan hukum TUHAN Allah dan memberikannya kepada imam-imam Lewi yang ditugaskan untuk mengurus Peti Perjanjian, dan kepada para pemimpin Israel.
And Moses writes this law and gives it to the priests (sons of Levi, those carrying the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH), and to all [the] elderly of Israel,
10 Ia memerintahkan kepada mereka, "Pada akhir tiap tahun ketujuh, dalam tahun penghapusan hutang pada pesta Pondok Daun,
and Moses commands them, saying, “At the end of seven years, in the appointed time, the year of release, in the Celebration of Shelters,
11 kamu harus membacakan hukum-hukum ini dengan suara nyaring bagi orang-orang Israel yang datang menyembah TUHAN Allahmu di tempat yang dipilih-Nya.
in the coming in of all Israel to see the face of YHWH in the place which He chooses, you proclaim this law before all Israel in their ears.
12 Suruhlah semua orang laki-laki, perempuan dan anak-anak serta orang asing yang tinggal di kota-kotamu berkumpul untuk mendengar pembacaan itu, supaya mereka belajar menghormati TUHAN Allahmu serta setia mentaati perintah-perintah-Nya.
Assemble the people, the men, and the women, and the infants, and your sojourner who [is] within your gates, so that they hear, and so that they learn, and have feared your God YHWH, and observed to do all the words of this law;
13 Dengan cara itu anak-anakmu yang belum pernah mendengar tentang hukum TUHAN Allahmu dapat mendengarnya dan belajar menghormati TUHAN selama mereka hidup di negeri yang tak lama lagi kamu duduki di seberang Sungai Yordan."
and their sons, who have not known, hear and have learned to fear your God YHWH [for] all the days which you are living on the ground to where you are passing over the Jordan to possess it.”
14 Kemudian TUHAN berkata kepada Musa, "Hidupmu tidak lama lagi. Jadi, panggillah Yosua dan bawalah dia ke Kemah-Ku, supaya Aku dapat memberi petunjuk-petunjuk kepadanya." Maka pergilah Musa dan Yosua ke Kemah TUHAN,
And YHWH says to Moses, “Behold, your days have drawn near to die; call Joshua, and station yourselves in the Tent of Meeting, and I charge him”; and Moses goes—Joshua also—and they station themselves in the Tent of Meeting,
15 dan TUHAN menampakkan diri kepada mereka dalam tiang awan dekat pintu Kemah.
and YHWH is seen in the tent in a pillar of a cloud; and the pillar of the cloud stands at the opening of the tent.
16 Kata TUHAN kepada Musa, "Ajalmu sudah dekat. Sesudah kepergianmu, bangsa Israel tidak setia lagi kepada-Ku dan mengingkari perjanjian yang Kubuat dengan mereka. Mereka akan meninggalkan Aku untuk menyembah ilah-ilah yang disembah di negeri yang tak lama lagi mereka masuki.
And YHWH says to Moses, “Behold, you are lying down with your fathers, and this people has risen and gone whoring after the gods of the stranger of the land, into the midst of which it has entered, and it has forsaken Me and broken My covenant which I made with it;
17 Kalau itu terjadi, kemarahan-Ku akan meluap terhadap mereka. Mereka akan Kutinggalkan dan Kubinasakan. Banyak bencana dahsyat akan menimpa mereka, lalu mereka akan sadar bahwa semua itu terjadi karena Aku, Allah mereka, tidak lagi menyertai mereka.
and My anger has burned against it in that day, and I have forsaken them, and hidden My face from them, and it has been for consumption, and many evils and distresses have found it, and it has said in that day, [Is] it not because my God is not in my midst that these evils have found me?
18 Pada waktu itu Aku tak mau menolong mereka, karena mereka telah menyembah ilah-ilah lain dan berbuat jahat.
And I certainly hide My face in that day for all the evil which it has done, for it has turned to other gods.
19 Sekarang tulislah nyanyian ini dan ajarkanlah kepada bangsa Israel sebagai kesaksian terhadap mereka.
And now, write this song for yourselves, and teach it [to] the sons of Israel; put it in their mouths, so that this song is to Me for a witness against the sons of Israel.
20 Mereka akan Kubawa ke negeri yang kaya dan subur, seperti Kujanjikan kepada nenek moyang mereka. Di situ mereka akan hidup dengan senang dan mendapat segala makanan yang mereka perlukan. Tetapi kemudian mereka akan berbalik dan menyembah ilah-ilah lain. Mereka akan menolak Aku dan mengingkari perjanjian-Ku,
When I bring them to the ground flowing with milk and honey, which I have sworn to their fathers, and they have eaten, and been satisfied, and been fat, and have turned to other gods, and they have served them, and despised Me, and broken My covenant,
21 dan banyak bencana dahsyat akan menimpa mereka. Tetapi nyanyian ini akan tetap dinyanyikan dan dipakai sebagai kesaksian terhadap mereka. Bahkan sekarang, sebelum mereka Kubawa ke negeri yang Kujanjikan, Aku tahu jalan pikiran mereka."
then it has been, when many evils and distresses meet it, that this song has testified to its face for a witness; for it is not forgotten out of the mouth of its seed, for I have known its imagining which it is doing today, before I bring them into the land of which I have sworn.”
22 Pada hari itu juga Musa menuliskan nyanyian itu, lalu mengajarkannya kepada bangsa Israel.
And Moses writes this song on that day, and teaches it [to] the sons of Israel.
23 Kemudian TUHAN berbicara kepada Yosua, anak Nun, kata-Nya, "Hendaklah engkau teguh hati dan berani, Yosua! Engkau akan memimpin bangsa Israel memasuki negeri yang Kujanjikan kepada mereka, dan Aku akan menolong mereka."
Then He commands Joshua son of Nun, and says, “Be strong and courageous, for you bring in the sons of Israel to the land which I have sworn to them, and I am with you.”
24 Lalu Musa menuliskan hukum Allah dalam sebuah buku. Ia menuliskannya dengan teliti dari awal sampai akhir.
And it comes to pass, when Moses finishes to write the words of this law on a scroll, until their completion,
25 Ketika selesai, ia berkata kepada para imam Lewi yang ditugaskan untuk mengurus Peti Perjanjian,
that Moses commands the Levites carrying the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH, saying,
26 "Ambillah buku Hukum Allah ini, dan taruhlah di sebelah Peti Perjanjian TUHAN Allahmu, supaya tetap ada di situ sebagai kesaksian terhadap bangsa itu.
“Take this Scroll of the Law, and you have set it on the side of the Ark of the Covenant of your God YHWH, and it has been against you for a witness there;
27 Saya tahu mereka sangat keras kepala dan suka memberontak. Selagi saya masih hidup pun mereka berontak terhadap TUHAN; apalagi nanti, sesudah saya mati!
for I have known your rebellion and your stiff neck; behold, in my being yet alive with you today, you have been rebelling against YHWH, and surely also after my death.
28 Sekarang suruhlah semua pemimpin bangsa dan para perwira berkumpul di depan saya, supaya saya dapat menyampaikan hal-hal ini kepada mereka. Langit dan bumi saya panggil sebagai saksi terhadap mereka.
Assemble to me all the elderly of your tribes, and your authorities, and I speak these words in their ears, and cause the heavens and the earth to testify against them,
29 Saya tahu bahwa sesudah saya mati, orang-orang itu akan menjadi jahat dan menolak apa yang sudah saya ajarkan kepada mereka. Dan kelak mereka ditimpa bencana, karena membuat TUHAN marah dengan melakukan apa yang dilarang-Nya."
for I have known that you act very corruptly after my death, and have turned aside from the way which I commanded you, and evil has met you in the latter end of the days, because you do evil in the eyes of YHWH, to make Him angry with the work of your hands.”
30 Kemudian Musa mengucapkan nyanyian ini sampai selesai sementara seluruh bangsa Israel mendengarkan.
And Moses speaks the words of this song in the ears of all the assembly of Israel, until their completion:
