Ulangan 32
1 "Dengarlah, hai langit, aku ingin berbicara; hai bumi, pasanglah telinga!
“Give ear, O heavens, and I speak; And you hear, O earth, sayings 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 drops as rain; My sayings flow as dew; As storms on the tender grass, And as showers on the herb,
3 Aku akan memuji nama TUHAN. Wartakanlah kebesaran Allah kita!
For I proclaim the Name of YHWH; Ascribe greatness to 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 Rock—His work [is] perfect, For all His ways [are] just; God of steadfastness, and without iniquity; Righteous and upright [is] He.
5 Tetapi kamu adalah bangsa yang tidak setia, dan tidak pantas lagi menjadi umat-Nya, bangsa yang penuh kecurangan dan dosa.
It has done corruptly to Him; Their blemish is not of His sons, A generation perverse and crooked!
6 Begitukah kamu balas kebaikan TUHAN, hai orang-orang bodoh dan tidak berakal? Bukankah Ia Bapamu, Penciptamu, yang menjadikan kamu satu bangsa?
Do you act thus to YHWH, O people foolish and not wise? Is He not your Father—He who bought you? He made you, and establishes you.
7 Ingatlah akan zaman dahulu, perhatikan zaman angkatan-angkatan yang lalu. Tanyakanlah kepada orang tuamu, supaya mereka memberitahukannya kepadamu.
Remember days of old—Understand the years of many generations—Ask your father, and he tells you; Your elderly, and they say to you:
8 Ketika Yang Mahatinggi membagikan tanah, setiap bangsa ditentukan wilayahnya dengan suatu ilah sebagai penguasa.
In the Most High causing nations to inherit, In His separating sons of Adam—He sets up the borders of the peoples By the number of the sons of God [[or sons of Israel]].
9 Tetapi keturunan Yakub ini dipilih TUHAN bagi diri-Nya sendiri.
For YHWH’s portion [is] His people, Jacob [is] the line 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 finds him in a land—a desert, And in a void—a howling wilderness, He turns him around—He causes him to understand—He keeps 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 wakes up its nest, Flutters over its young ones, Spreads its wings [and] takes them, Carries them on its pinions—
12 demikian TUHAN sendiri memimpin umat-Nya, tak ada ilah asing menyertai dia.
YHWH alone leads him, And there is 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 makes him ride on high places of earth, And he eats increase of the fields, And He makes him suck honey from a rock, And oil out of the flint of a rock;
14 Sapi dan kambing domba mereka menghasilkan banyak susu; ternak mereka paling bermutu, gandum dan air anggur mereka paling baik.
Butter of the herd, and milk of the flock, With fat of lambs, and rams of sons of Bashan, And male goats, with fat of kidneys of wheat; And of the blood of the grape you drink wine!
15 Umat TUHAN menjadi kaya, tetapi suka berontak, mereka gemuk-gemuk, kenyang makanan. Lalu mereka meninggalkan Allah, Penciptanya dan menolak Penyelamatnya yang perkasa.
And Yeshurun waxes fat, and kicks: You have been fat, you have been thick, You have been covered. And he leaves God who made him, And dishonors the Rock of his salvation.
16 Mereka menyembah berhala, sehingga TUHAN cemburu, kemarahan-Nya bangkit karena kejahatan itu.
They make Him zealous with strangers, They make Him angry with 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 sacrifice to the demons, not God, To gods they have not known, New ones—they came from the vicinity; Your fathers have not feared them!
18 Mereka melalaikan Penyelamat mereka yang perkasa, melupakan Allah mereka yang memberi kehidupan.
You forget the Rock that begot you, And neglect God who forms you.
19 Melihat hal itu, TUHAN menjadi marah, dan menolak anak-anak-Nya.
And YHWH sees and despises—For the provocation of His sons and 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 says: I hide My face from them, I see what their latter end [is]; For they [are] a contrary generation, Sons in whom is no steadfastness.
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 made Me jealous by [what is] not God, They made Me angry by their vanities; And I make them jealous by [what is] not a people, I make them angry by 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 has been kindled in My anger, And it burns to the lowest [part] of Sheol, And consumes earth and its increase, And sets on fire [the] foundations of mountains. (Sheol h7585)
23 Terus-menerus Kudatangkan malapetaka, Kutembakkan semua panah-Ku kepada mereka.
I heap calamities on them, I consume My arrows on them.
24 Mereka akan mati karena demam dan kelaparan, dan karena penyakit yang mengerikan. Kubiarkan mereka diterkam binatang buas, dan dipagut ular berbisa.
Exhausted by famine, And consumed by heat and bitter destruction—I also send the teeth of beasts on them, With poison of fearful things 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 destroys from outside, And out of the inner-chambers—terror, Both youth and virgin, Suckling with man of grey hair.
26 Aku ingin melenyapkan mereka sama sekali, supaya mereka tidak diingat lagi.
I have said: I blow them away, I cause their remembrance to cease from man;
27 Tetapi Aku tak mau musuh Israel berbangga; jangan-jangan mereka salah sangka dan berkata bahwa mereka mengalahkan umat-Ku,' padahal Akulah yang melakukannya.
If I do not fear the anger of an enemy, Lest their adversaries know—Lest they say, Our hand is high, And YHWH has not worked all this.
28 Israel suatu bangsa yang tidak punya pertimbangan; pengertian tak ada pada mereka.
For they [are] a nation lost to counsels, And there is no understanding in them.
29 Sekiranya mereka bijaksana, mereka akan mengerti, dan memikirkan kesudahan mereka.
If only they were wise, They would deal wisely [with] this, They would attend to 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 does one pursue a thousand, And two cause a myriad to flee, If not that their Rock has sold them, And YHWH has shut them up?
31 Musuh Israel tahu bahwa pelindung mereka tidak seperti Allah pelindung Israel.
For their rock [is] not as our Rock (And our enemies [are] 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—They have bitter clusters;
33 Air anggur mereka adalah racun ular berbisa.
The poison of dragons [is] their wine And the fierce venom of cobras.
34 TUHAN ingat perbuatan musuh umat-Nya dan akan menghukum mereka pada waktunya.
Is it not laid up with Me? Sealed among My treasures?
35 TUHAN akan membalas dan menghukum mereka, tak lama lagi mereka jatuh binasa; saat kehancuran mereka segera tiba.
Vengeance and retribution [are] Mine, At the due time—their foot slides; For near is a day of their calamity, And things prepared for them have hastened.
36 TUHAN akan menyelamatkan umat-Nya dan mengasihani hamba-hamba-Nya, bila Ia melihat mereka tak berdaya dan sudah kehabisan tenaga.
For YHWH judges His people, And gives comfort over His servants. For He sees the going away of power, And none is restrained and left.
37 Maka TUHAN akan bertanya kepada umat-Nya, 'Di mana ilah-ilah kuat yang kamu andalkan?'
And He has said, Where [are] their gods—The rock in which 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.
Who eat the fat of their sacrifices, [And] drink the wine of their drink-offering? Let them arise and help you, Let it be a hiding place for you!
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 [am] He, And there is no god besides Me; I put to death and I keep alive; I have struck and I heal; And there is not a deliverer from My hand,
40 Demi Aku sendiri, Allah yang hidup, Kuangkat tangan-Ku dan bersumpah:
For I lift up My hand to the heavens, And have said, I live for all time!
41 Aku akan mengasah pedang-Ku yang berkilauan, dan menjalankan penghukuman. Kubalas semua lawan-Ku dan Kuhukum semua yang membenci Aku.
If I have sharpened the brightness of My sword, And My hand lays hold on judgment, I return vengeance to My adversaries, And to those hating Me—I repay!
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 make My arrows drunk with blood, And My sword devours flesh, From the blood of the pierced and captive, From the head of the leaders of 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."
Sing, O nations, [with] His people, For He avenges the blood of His servants, And He turns back vengeance on His adversaries, And has pardoned His land [and] His people.”
44 Musa dan Yosua anak Nun mengucapkan nyanyian itu, sehingga seluruh bangsa Israel dapat mendengarnya.
And Moses comes and speaks all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he and Hoshea son of Nun;
45 Sehabis menyampaikan ajaran-ajaran TUHAN kepada bangsa Israel,
and Moses finishes to speak 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 says to them, “Set your heart to all the words which I am testifying against you today, that you command your sons 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, for it [is] your life, and by this thing you prolong days on the ground to where you are passing over the Jordan to possess it.”
48 Pada hari itu juga TUHAN berkata kepada Musa,
And YHWH speaks to Moses on this very 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.
“Go up to this Mount Abarim, Mount Nebo, which [is] in the land of Moab, which [is] on the front of Jericho, and see the land of Canaan which I am giving to the sons of Israel for a possession;
50 Engkau akan meninggal di atas gunung itu, seperti Harun saudaramu meninggal di Gunung Hor.
and die on the mountain to where you are going up, and be gathered to your people, as your brother Aaron has died on Mount Hor and is gathered to 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 you trespassed against Me in the midst of the sons of Israel at the waters of Meribath-Kadesh, the wilderness of Zin, because you did not sanctify Me in the midst of the sons of Israel.
52 Karena itu engkau tak boleh masuk ke negeri yang Kuberikan kepada bangsa Israel; engkau hanya boleh memandangnya dari jauh."
Indeed, you see the land before [you], but you do not go in there to the land which I am giving to the sons of Israel.”
