Ulangan 32
1 "Dengarlah, hai langit, aku ingin berbicara; hai bumi, pasanglah telinga!
Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, 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.
My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass:
3 Aku akan memuji nama TUHAN. Wartakanlah kebesaran Allah kita!
Because I will publish the name of the LORD: ascribe ye greatness unto 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.
[He is] the Rock, his work [is] perfect: for all his ways [are] judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right [is] he.
5 Tetapi kamu adalah bangsa yang tidak setia, dan tidak pantas lagi menjadi umat-Nya, bangsa yang penuh kecurangan dan dosa.
They have corrupted themselves, their spot [is] not [the spot] of his children: [they are] a perverse and crooked generation.
6 Begitukah kamu balas kebaikan TUHAN, hai orang-orang bodoh dan tidak berakal? Bukankah Ia Bapamu, Penciptamu, yang menjadikan kamu satu bangsa?
Do ye thus requite the LORD, O foolish people and unwise? [is] not he thy father [that] hath bought thee? hath he not made thee, and established thee?
7 Ingatlah akan zaman dahulu, perhatikan zaman angkatan-angkatan yang lalu. Tanyakanlah kepada orang tuamu, supaya mereka memberitahukannya kepadamu.
Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he will shew thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee.
8 Ketika Yang Mahatinggi membagikan tanah, setiap bangsa ditentukan wilayahnya dengan suatu ilah sebagai penguasa.
When the most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel.
9 Tetapi keturunan Yakub ini dipilih TUHAN bagi diri-Nya sendiri.
For the LORD’s portion [is] his people; Jacob [is] 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 found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.
11 Seperti burung elang yang mengajar anaknya terbang menangkapnya di sayapnya yang terbentang dan mendukungnya di atas kepak-kepaknya,
As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings:
12 demikian TUHAN sendiri memimpin umat-Nya, tak ada ilah asing menyertai dia.
[So] the LORD alone did lead him, 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 made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock;
14 Sapi dan kambing domba mereka menghasilkan banyak susu; ternak mereka paling bermutu, gandum dan air anggur mereka paling baik.
Butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure 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.
But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered [with fatness; ] then he forsook God [which] made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.
16 Mereka menyembah berhala, sehingga TUHAN cemburu, kemarahan-Nya bangkit karena kejahatan itu.
They provoked him to jealousy with strange [gods], with abominations provoked they him to anger.
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 sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new [gods that] came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.
18 Mereka melalaikan Penyelamat mereka yang perkasa, melupakan Allah mereka yang memberi kehidupan.
Of the Rock [that] begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee.
19 Melihat hal itu, TUHAN menjadi marah, dan menolak anak-anak-Nya.
And when the LORD saw [it], he abhorred [them], because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters.
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, I will see what their end [shall be: ] for they [are] a very froward generation, children in whom [is] no faith.
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 moved me to jealousy with [that which is] not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with [those which are] not a people; I will provoke them to anger 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)
For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains. (Sheol h7585)
23 Terus-menerus Kudatangkan malapetaka, Kutembakkan semua panah-Ku kepada mereka.
I will heap mischiefs upon them; I will spend mine arrows upon them.
24 Mereka akan mati karena demam dan kelaparan, dan karena penyakit yang mengerikan. Kubiarkan mereka diterkam binatang buas, dan dipagut ular berbisa.
[They shall be] burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the poison of serpents of the dust.
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.
The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling [also] with the man of gray hairs.
26 Aku ingin melenyapkan mereka sama sekali, supaya mereka tidak diingat lagi.
I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them 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.
Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy, lest their adversaries should behave themselves strangely, [and] lest they should say, Our hand [is] high, and the LORD hath not done all this.
28 Israel suatu bangsa yang tidak punya pertimbangan; pengertian tak ada pada mereka.
For they [are] a nation void of counsel, neither [is there any] understanding in them.
29 Sekiranya mereka bijaksana, mereka akan mengerti, dan memikirkan kesudahan mereka.
O that they were wise, [that] they understood this, [that] they would consider their latter 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 should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the LORD had shut them up?
31 Musuh Israel tahu bahwa pelindung mereka tidak seperti Allah pelindung Israel.
For their rock [is] not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves [being] judges.
32 Sebab mereka jahat seperti Sodom dan Gomora, seperti pohon anggur yang pahit dan beracun buahnya.
For their vine [is] of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes [are] grapes of gall, their clusters [are] bitter:
33 Air anggur mereka adalah racun ular berbisa.
Their wine [is] the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps.
34 TUHAN ingat perbuatan musuh umat-Nya dan akan menghukum mereka pada waktunya.
[Is] not this laid up in store with me, [and] sealed up among my treasures?
35 TUHAN akan membalas dan menghukum mereka, tak lama lagi mereka jatuh binasa; saat kehancuran mereka segera tiba.
To me [belongeth] vengeance, and recompence; their foot shall slide in [due] time: for the day of their calamity [is] at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.
36 TUHAN akan menyelamatkan umat-Nya dan mengasihani hamba-hamba-Nya, bila Ia melihat mereka tak berdaya dan sudah kehabisan tenaga.
For the LORD shall judge his people, and repent himself for his servants, when he seeth that [their] power is gone, and [there is] none shut up, or left.
37 Maka TUHAN akan bertanya kepada umat-Nya, 'Di mana ilah-ilah kuat yang kamu andalkan?'
And he shall say, Where [are] their gods, [their] rock in whom they trusted,
38 Mereka makan lemak yang kamu persembahkan, dan minum air anggur yang kamu kurbankan. Suruhlah mereka datang menolong kamu, biarlah mereka menjadi perlindunganmu.
Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, [and] drank the wine of their drink offerings? let them rise up and help you, [and] be your protection.
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 now that I, [even] I, [am] he, and [there is] no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither [is there any] that can deliver out of my hand.
40 Demi Aku sendiri, Allah yang hidup, Kuangkat tangan-Ku dan bersumpah:
For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live for ever.
41 Aku akan mengasah pedang-Ku yang berkilauan, dan menjalankan penghukuman. Kubalas semua lawan-Ku dan Kuhukum semua yang membenci Aku.
If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward them that 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 make mine arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh; [and that] with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy.
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."
Rejoice, O ye nations, [with] his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful unto his land, [and] to his people.
44 Musa dan Yosua anak Nun mengucapkan nyanyian itu, sehingga seluruh bangsa Israel dapat mendengarnya.
And Moses came and spake all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he, and Hoshea the son of Nun.
45 Sehabis menyampaikan ajaran-ajaran TUHAN kepada bangsa Israel,
And Moses made an end of speaking all these words to all 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 unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words which I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of 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 it [is] not a vain thing for you; because it [is] your life: and through this thing ye shall prolong [your] days in the land, whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.
48 Pada hari itu juga TUHAN berkata kepada Musa,
And the LORD spake unto Moses that selfsame 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.
Get thee up into this mountain Abarim, [unto] mount Nebo, which [is] in the land of Moab, that [is] over against Jericho; and behold the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel for a possession:
50 Engkau akan meninggal di atas gunung itu, seperti Harun saudaramu meninggal di Gunung Hor.
And die in the mount whither thou goest up, and be gathered unto thy people; as Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor, and was gathered unto 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.
Because ye trespassed against me among the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah-Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because ye sanctified me not in the midst of the children of Israel.
52 Karena itu engkau tak boleh masuk ke negeri yang Kuberikan kepada bangsa Israel; engkau hanya boleh memandangnya dari jauh."
Yet thou shalt see the land before [thee; ] but thou shalt not go thither unto the land which I give the children of Israel.
