Ulangan 32
1 "Dengarlah, hai langit, aku ingin berbicara; hai bumi, pasanglah telinga!
“Listen, O heavens, to what I am saying. Let the earth hear the words of my mouth.
2 Semoga ajaranku turun seperti hujan, dan kata-kataku menetes seperti embun, laksana hujan rintik-rintik di atas rerumputan, dan hujan deras di atas tanam-tanaman.
Let my doctrine accumulate like the rain. Let my eloquence form like the dew, like a mist upon the plants, and like water droplets upon the grass.
3 Aku akan memuji nama TUHAN. Wartakanlah kebesaran Allah kita!
For I will invoke the name of the Lord. Acknowledge the magnificence of our God!
4 TUHAN Pembelamu yang perkasa, karya-Nya sempurna, dan semua jalan-Nya adil. Allahmu setia, tak ada kecurangan pada-Nya, Ia melakukan yang baik dan benar.
The works of God are perfect, and all his ways are judgments. God is faithful and without any iniquity. He is just and upright.
5 Tetapi kamu adalah bangsa yang tidak setia, dan tidak pantas lagi menjadi umat-Nya, bangsa yang penuh kecurangan dan dosa.
They have sinned against him, and in their filth they are not his sons. They are a depraved and perverse generation.
6 Begitukah kamu balas kebaikan TUHAN, hai orang-orang bodoh dan tidak berakal? Bukankah Ia Bapamu, Penciptamu, yang menjadikan kamu satu bangsa?
How can this be the return you would offer to the Lord, O foolish and senseless people? Is he himself not your Father, who has possessed you, and made you, and created you?
7 Ingatlah akan zaman dahulu, perhatikan zaman angkatan-angkatan yang lalu. Tanyakanlah kepada orang tuamu, supaya mereka memberitahukannya kepadamu.
Remember the days of antiquity. Consider each generation. Question your father, and he will declare it to you. Question your elders, and they will tell it to you.
8 Ketika Yang Mahatinggi membagikan tanah, setiap bangsa ditentukan wilayahnya dengan suatu ilah sebagai penguasa.
When the Most High divided the nations, when he separated the sons of Adam, he appointed the limits of the peoples according to the number of the sons of Israel.
9 Tetapi keturunan Yakub ini dipilih TUHAN bagi diri-Nya sendiri.
But the Lord’s portion is his people: Jacob, the lot of his inheritance.
10 Ia mendapati mereka sedang mengembara di tempat yang sepi di padang belantara. Lalu Ia melindungi dan memelihara mereka dan menjaga mereka seperti milik-Nya.
He discovered him in a desert land, in a place of horror and a vast wilderness. He led him around and taught him, and he guarded him like the pupil of his eye,
11 Seperti burung elang yang mengajar anaknya terbang menangkapnya di sayapnya yang terbentang dan mendukungnya di atas kepak-kepaknya,
just as an eagle encourages its young to fly, and, flying above them, stretches out its wings, and takes them up, and carries them on its shoulders.
12 demikian TUHAN sendiri memimpin umat-Nya, tak ada ilah asing menyertai dia.
The Lord alone was his leader, and there was no strange god with him.
13 Ia membuat mereka menguasai gunung-gunung; mereka makan hasil ladang-ladang dan minum madu liar dari bukit batu. Mereka mendapat minyak dari pohon zaitun yang tumbuh di tanah berbatu.
He stood him upon an exalted land, so that he might eat the fruits of the fields, so that he might eat honey from the rock, and oil from the hardest stone,
14 Sapi dan kambing domba mereka menghasilkan banyak susu; ternak mereka paling bermutu, gandum dan air anggur mereka paling baik.
butter from the herd, and milk from the sheep, with fat from the lambs, and with rams and goats from the sons of Bashan, with the kernel of the wheat, and so that he might drink the undiluted blood of the grape.
15 Umat TUHAN menjadi kaya, tetapi suka berontak, mereka gemuk-gemuk, kenyang makanan. Lalu mereka meninggalkan Allah, Penciptanya dan menolak Penyelamatnya yang perkasa.
The beloved grew fat, and he kicked. Having grown fat and thick and wide, he abandoned God, his Maker, and he withdrew from God, his Savior.
16 Mereka menyembah berhala, sehingga TUHAN cemburu, kemarahan-Nya bangkit karena kejahatan itu.
They provoked him with strange gods, and they stirred him to anger by their abominations.
17 Mereka mempersembahkan kurban kepada roh-roh jahat yang bukan Allah, kepada ilah-ilah yang tidak mereka kenal, ilah-ilah baru yang tidak ditakuti leluhur mereka.
They immolated to demons and not to God, to gods whom they did not know, who were new and recent arrivals, whom their fathers did not worship.
18 Mereka melalaikan Penyelamat mereka yang perkasa, melupakan Allah mereka yang memberi kehidupan.
You have forsaken the God who conceived you, and you have forgotten the Lord who created you.
19 Melihat hal itu, TUHAN menjadi marah, dan menolak anak-anak-Nya.
The Lord saw, and he was stirred to anger. For his own sons and daughters provoked him.
20 Kata-Nya, 'Aku tidak mau menolong mereka lagi; biar Kulihat bagaimana kesudahan mereka. Sebab bangsa itu keras kepala dan sama sekali tidak setia.
And he said: ‘I will hide my face from them, and I will consider their very end. For this is a perverse generation, and they are unfaithful sons.
21 Mereka membuat Aku cemburu kepada yang bukan Allah, dan marah kepada patung berhala mereka. Maka Kubuat umat-Ku cemburu kepada yang bukan bangsa, dan marah kepada bangsa yang dungu.
They have provoked me with that which was not God, and they have angered me with their emptiness. And so, I will provoke them with that which is not a people, and I will anger them with a foolish nation.
22 Kemarahan-Ku akan berkobar seperti api yang membakar sampai ke dunia orang mati. Api itu membakar bumi dan segala hasilnya, dan gunung-gunung sampai ke akar-akarnya. (Sheol h7585)
A fire has been kindled in my fury, and it will burn even to the deepest Hell, and it will devour the earth with its produce, and it will burn the foundations of the mountains. (Sheol h7585)
23 Terus-menerus Kudatangkan malapetaka, Kutembakkan semua panah-Ku kepada mereka.
I will heap evils upon them, and I will expend my arrows among them.
24 Mereka akan mati karena demam dan kelaparan, dan karena penyakit yang mengerikan. Kubiarkan mereka diterkam binatang buas, dan dipagut ular berbisa.
They will be consumed by famine, and birds with a very bitter bite will devour them. I will send forth the teeth of wild beasts among them, along with the fury of creatures that scurry across the ground, and of serpents.
25 Peperangan membawa maut di jalan-jalan; kengerian menimpa orang-orang di rumah. Orang muda dan gadis remaja akan dibinasakan, juga anak bayi dan orang lanjut usia.
Outside, the sword will devastate them; and inside, there will be dread, as much for the young man as for the maiden, and as much for the newborn as for the old man.
26 Aku ingin melenyapkan mereka sama sekali, supaya mereka tidak diingat lagi.
I said: Where are they? I will cause their memory to cease from among men.
27 Tetapi Aku tak mau musuh Israel berbangga; jangan-jangan mereka salah sangka dan berkata bahwa mereka mengalahkan umat-Ku,' padahal Akulah yang melakukannya.
But because of the wrath of the enemies, I have delayed it. Otherwise, perhaps their enemies would be arrogant and would say: “Our exalted hand, and not the Lord, has done all these things.”
28 Israel suatu bangsa yang tidak punya pertimbangan; pengertian tak ada pada mereka.
They are a nation without counsel and without prudence.
29 Sekiranya mereka bijaksana, mereka akan mengerti, dan memikirkan kesudahan mereka.
I wish that they would be wise and understanding, and would provide for the very end.’
30 Bagaimana seorang dapat mengejar seribu orang, dan dua orang membuat sepuluh ribu orang lari? TUHAN, Allah mereka, telah menjual mereka; mereka telah ditinggalkan oleh Allah yang perkasa.
How is it that one pursues a thousand, and two chases ten thousand? Is it not because their God has sold them, and because the Lord has enclosed them?
31 Musuh Israel tahu bahwa pelindung mereka tidak seperti Allah pelindung Israel.
For our God is not like their gods. And our enemies are judges.
32 Sebab mereka jahat seperti Sodom dan Gomora, seperti pohon anggur yang pahit dan beracun buahnya.
Their vines are of the vines of Sodom, but from the suburbs of Gomorrah. Their grapes are the grapes of gall, and their grape clusters are most bitter.
33 Air anggur mereka adalah racun ular berbisa.
Their wine is the gall of snakes, and it is the incurable venom of asps.
34 TUHAN ingat perbuatan musuh umat-Nya dan akan menghukum mereka pada waktunya.
‘Have not these things been stored up with me, and sealed up amid my treasures?
35 TUHAN akan membalas dan menghukum mereka, tak lama lagi mereka jatuh binasa; saat kehancuran mereka segera tiba.
Vengeance is mine, and I will repay them in due time, so that their foot may slip and fall. The day of perdition is near, and the time rushes to appear.’
36 TUHAN akan menyelamatkan umat-Nya dan mengasihani hamba-hamba-Nya, bila Ia melihat mereka tak berdaya dan sudah kehabisan tenaga.
The Lord will judge his people, and he will take pity on his servants. He will see that their hand has been weakened, and that those who have been enclosed have likewise failed, and that those who have been left behind have been consumed.
37 Maka TUHAN akan bertanya kepada umat-Nya, 'Di mana ilah-ilah kuat yang kamu andalkan?'
And he shall say: ‘Where are their gods, in whom they had confidence?
38 Mereka makan lemak yang kamu persembahkan, dan minum air anggur yang kamu kurbankan. Suruhlah mereka datang menolong kamu, biarlah mereka menjadi perlindunganmu.
They ate the fat of their victims, and they drank the wine of their libations. So let these rise up, and bring relief to you, and protect you in your distress.
39 Lihatlah, Aku Allah Yang Esa, tak ada Allah kecuali Aku. Aku membunuh dan menghidupkan, melukai dan menyembuhkan. Bila Aku bertindak, tak seorang pun dapat melawan.
See that I am alone, and there is no other god beside me. I will kill, and I will cause to live. I will strike, and I will heal. And there is no one who is able to rescue from my hand.
40 Demi Aku sendiri, Allah yang hidup, Kuangkat tangan-Ku dan bersumpah:
I will lift up my hand to heaven, and I will say: I live in eternity.
41 Aku akan mengasah pedang-Ku yang berkilauan, dan menjalankan penghukuman. Kubalas semua lawan-Ku dan Kuhukum semua yang membenci Aku.
When I sharpen my sword like lightning, and my hand takes hold of judgment, then I will render vengeance to my enemies, and I will repay those who hate me.
42 Panah-panah-Ku akan dilumuri darah mereka; semua yang menentang Aku Kubunuh dengan pedang-Ku. Tidak Kubiarkan siapa pun melawan Aku; orang tahanan dan yang luka-luka mesti mati juga.
I will inebriate my arrows with blood, and my sword will devour flesh: from the blood of the slain and from the captive, from the exposed head of the enemies.’
43 Hai bangsa-bangsa, pujilah umat TUHAN, sebab TUHAN menghukum semua yang membunuh mereka. Ia membalas dendam kepada musuh-Nya tetapi mengampuni dosa umat-Nya."
You nations, praise his people! For he will avenge the blood of his servants. And he will distribute vengeance to their enemies. And he will be merciful to the land of his people.”
44 Musa dan Yosua anak Nun mengucapkan nyanyian itu, sehingga seluruh bangsa Israel dapat mendengarnya.
Therefore, Moses went and spoke all the words of this canticle to the ears of the people, both he and Joshua, the son of Nun.
45 Sehabis menyampaikan ajaran-ajaran TUHAN kepada bangsa Israel,
And he completed all these words, speaking to all of Israel.
46 Musa berkata, "Perhatikanlah semua perintah yang saya berikan kepadamu hari ini. Ajarkanlah kepada anak-anakmu, supaya mereka dengan setia melakukan semua hukum TUHAN.
And he said to them: “Set your hearts upon all the words which I am testifying to you this day. So shall you command your sons, to keep, and to do, and to fulfill all the things that have been written in this law.
47 Ajaran itu bukanlah kata-kata kosong, melainkan hidupmu. Taatilah semua perintah itu, supaya kamu panjang umur di negeri yang tak lama lagi kamu duduki di seberang Sungai Yordan."
For these things have not been entrusted to you to no purpose, but so that each one would live by them, and so that, in doing these, you may continue for a long time in the land, which you will enter upon crossing the Jordan in order to possess it.”
48 Pada hari itu juga TUHAN berkata kepada Musa,
And the Lord spoke to Moses on the same day, saying:
49 "Pergilah ke Pegunungan Abarim di negeri Moab di seberang kota Yerikho. Lalu naiklah ke Gunung Nebo dan pandanglah tanah Kanaan yang tak lama lagi Kuserahkan kepada bangsa Israel.
“Ascend this mountain, Abarim, (that is, of crossings) onto Mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, opposite Jericho, and look upon the land of Canaan, which I will deliver to the sons of Israel to obtain it. And you shall die upon the mountain.
50 Engkau akan meninggal di atas gunung itu, seperti Harun saudaramu meninggal di Gunung Hor.
After climbing it, you will be joined to your people, just as your brother Aaron died on Mount Hor, and was placed with his people.
51 Kamu berdua tidak setia kepada-Ku dan tidak menghormati Aku di depan bangsa Israel waktu kamu berada di mata air Meriba, dekat kota Kades, di padang gurun Zin.
For you trespassed against me in the midst of the sons of Israel, at the Waters of Contradiction, in Kadesh, in the desert of Sin. And you did not sanctify me among the sons of Israel.
52 Karena itu engkau tak boleh masuk ke negeri yang Kuberikan kepada bangsa Israel; engkau hanya boleh memandangnya dari jauh."
You shall see the land opposite you, which I will give to the sons of Israel, but you shall not enter into it.”
