Ulangan 9
1 "Dengarlah Saudara-saudara! Hari ini kamu menyeberangi Sungai Yordan untuk menduduki daerah bangsa-bangsa yang lebih besar dan lebih kuat dari kamu. Kota-kota mereka besar-besar dengan tembok-temboknya yang menjulang setinggi langit.
Give ear, O Israel: today you are to go over Jordan, to take the heritage of nations greater and stronger than yourselves, and towns of great size with walls as high as heaven;
2 Orang-orangnya besar dan kuat perawakannya; mereka itu raksasa, dan kamu sudah mendengar bahwa tak seorang pun dapat melawan mereka.
A people great and tall, the sons of the Anakim, of whom you have knowledge and of whom it has been said, All are forced to give way before the sons of Anak.
3 Tetapi sekarang, kamu akan menyaksikan sendiri bagaimana TUHAN Allahmu berjalan di depan kamu seperti api yang menghanguskan. Ia akan mengalahkan mereka di depan matamu, sehingga kamu dapat mengusir dan membinasakan mereka dengan cepat seperti yang dijanjikan TUHAN.
Be certain then today that it is the Lord your God who goes over before you like an all-burning fire; he will send destruction on them, crushing them before you; and you will send them in flight, putting an end to them quickly, as the Lord has said.
4 Sesudah TUHAN Allahmu mengusir mereka untukmu, jangan menyangka bahwa kamu dibawa-Nya ke sana untuk memiliki tanah itu karena kamu baik dan melakukan kehendak TUHAN Allahmu sehingga pantas menerimanya. Sekali-kali tidak! TUHAN mengusir bangsa-bangsa itu untuk kamu karena mereka jahat. TUHAN membiarkan kamu mengambil tanah mereka, karena Ia ingin memenuhi janji-Nya kepada nenek moyangmu Abraham, Ishak dan Yakub.
And after the Lord has sent them in flight from before you, say not in your heart, Because of my righteousness the Lord has given me this land; when it is because of their evil-doing that the Lord is driving these nations out before you.
Not for your righteousness or because your hearts are upright are you going in to take their land; but because of the evil-doing of these nations the Lord your God is driving them out from before you, and to give effect to his oath to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
6 Yakinlah bahwa TUHAN Allahmu tidak menyerahkan tanah subur itu kepadamu oleh karena kamu pantas menerimanya. Tidak! Kamu ini bangsa yang keras kepala.
Be certain then that the Lord your God is not giving you this good land as a reward for your righteousness; for you are a stiff-necked people.
7 Ingatlah bagaimana kamu membuat TUHAN Allahmu marah di padang gurun. Sejak kamu meninggalkan Mesir sampai kamu tiba di sini, kamu menentang TUHAN.
Keep well in mind how you made the Lord your God angry in the waste land; from the day when you went out of Egypt till you came to this place, you have gone against the orders of the Lord.
8 Bahkan di Gunung Sinai kamu membuat TUHAN marah sekali, sehingga Ia mau membinasakan kamu.
Again in Horeb you made the Lord angry, and in his wrath he would have put an end to you.
9 Saya mendaki gunung itu untuk menerima batu perjanjian yang dibuat TUHAN dengan kamu. Empat puluh hari dan empat puluh malam lamanya saya tinggal di atas gunung itu tanpa makan atau minum.
When I had gone up into the mountain to be given the stones on which was recorded the agreement which the Lord made with you, I was on the mountain for forty days and forty nights without taking food or drinking water.
10 Kemudian TUHAN memberi saya kedua batu yang telah ditulisi oleh Allah sendiri. Pada batu itu tertulis kata-kata yang diucapkan-Nya dari tengah-tengah api kepadamu, ketika kamu berkumpul di kaki gunung.
And the Lord gave me the two stones with writing on them done by the finger of God: on them were recorded all the words which the Lord said to you on the mountain out of the heart of the fire, on the day of the great meeting.
11 Ya, sesudah lewat empat puluh hari dan empat puluh malam, TUHAN memberikan kepada saya kedua batu perjanjian itu.
Then at the end of forty days and forty nights the Lord gave me those stones, the stones of the agreement.
12 Lalu TUHAN berkata kepada saya, 'Turunlah segera, sebab bangsamu yang kaubawa keluar dari Mesir telah berbuat jahat. Mereka sudah menyimpang dari perintah-perintah-Ku, dan membuat patung untuk disembah.'
And the Lord said to me, Get up now, and go down quickly from this place; for the people you have taken out of Egypt have given themselves over to evil; they have quickly been turned from the way in which I gave them orders to go; they have made themselves a metal image.
13 TUHAN juga berkata kepada saya, 'Aku tahu bangsa itu amat keras kepala.
And then the Lord said to me, I have seen that this people is stiff-necked:
14 Jangan coba menghalangi Aku. Aku hendak membinasakan mereka sehingga mereka tidak diingat lagi. Tetapi engkau akan Kujadikan bapak dari suatu bangsa yang lebih besar dan lebih kuat daripada mereka.'
Let me send destruction on them till their very name is cut off; and I will make of you a nation greater and stronger than they.
15 Lalu saya berpaling, dan sambil membawa kedua batu perjanjian dengan kedua tangan, saya turuni gunung yang sedang menyala-nyala.
So turning round I came down from the mountain, and the mountain was burning with fire; and the two stones of the agreement were in my hands.
16 Saya lihat bahwa kamu sudah melanggar perintah TUHAN Allahmu. Kamu sudah berdosa terhadap TUHAN karena membuat bagi dirimu sebuah patung sapi dari logam.
And I saw that you had done evil against the Lord, and had made for yourselves a metal image of a young ox: you had quickly been turned from the way in which the Lord had given you orders to go.
17 Maka di depan matamu kedua batu perjanjian itu saya banting sampai hancur berkeping-keping.
And I let the stones go from my hands, and they were broken before your eyes.
18 Lalu sekali lagi saya bersujud di depan TUHAN di puncak gunung selama empat puluh hari dan empat puluh malam, tanpa makan atau minum. Itu saya lakukan karena kamu telah berdosa terhadap TUHAN dengan melakukan apa yang dianggap-Nya jahat, sehingga Ia marah.
And I went down on my face before the Lord, as at the first, for forty days and forty nights, without taking food or drinking water, because of all your sin, in doing evil in the eyes of the Lord and moving him to wrath.
19 Saya takut kepada kemarahan TUHAN yang menyala-nyala terhadap kamu sehingga kamu mau dibinasakan-Nya, tetapi kali ini pun TUHAN mendengarkan saya.
For I was full of fear because of the wrath of the Lord which was burning against you, with your destruction in view. But again the Lord's ear was open to my prayer.
20 TUHAN juga marah sekali kepada Harun sehingga Ia mau membunuhnya, maka saya berdoa untuk dia juga.
And the Lord, in his wrath, would have put Aaron to death: and I made prayer for Aaron at the same time.
21 Patung sapi logam buatanmu, saya lemparkan ke dalam api. Lalu saya hancurkan dan tumbuk sampai halus seperti debu, dan debu itu saya lemparkan ke dalam anak sungai yang mengalir dari gunung itu.
And I took your sin, the image which you had made, and put it in the fire and had it hammered and crushed very small till it was only dust: and the dust I put in the stream flowing down from the mountain.
22 Juga di Tabera, Masa dan Kibrot-Taawa, kamu membuat TUHAN marah.
Again at Taberah and at Massah and at Kibroth-hattaavah you made the Lord angry.
23 Lalu pada waktu kamu disuruh TUHAN meninggalkan Kades-Barnea untuk maju dan menduduki tanah yang akan diberikan-Nya kepadamu, kamu menentang perintah TUHAN Allahmu; kamu tidak mau percaya atau taat kepada-Nya.
And when the Lord sent you from Kadesh-barnea, saying, Go up and take the land which I have given you; you went against the orders of the Lord your God, and had no faith in him, and would not give ear to his voice.
24 Sejak saya kenal kamu, kamu selalu menentang TUHAN.
From the day when I first had knowledge of you, you have gone against the word of the Lord.
25 Saya tahu TUHAN bertekad hendak membinasakan kamu. Maka selama empat puluh hari dan empat puluh malam saya sujud di depan TUHAN
So I went down on my face in prayer before the Lord for forty days and forty nights as I did at first; because the Lord had said that he would put an end to you.
26 dan berdoa begini: Ya TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi, janganlah binasakan umat milik-Mu ini, bangsa yang Kaubebaskan dan Kauantar keluar dari Mesir dengan kekuatan dan kekuasaan-Mu yang besar.
And I made prayer to the Lord and said, O Lord God, do not send destruction on your people and your heritage, to whom, by your great power, you have given salvation, whom you have taken out of Egypt by the strength of your hand.
27 Ingatlah akan hamba-hamba-Mu Abraham, Ishak dan Yakub, dan jangan perhatikan sifat keras kepala, kejahatan dan dosa bangsa ini.
Keep in mind your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, not looking at the hard heart of this people, or their evil-doing and their sin:
28 Kalau umat-Mu Kaumusnahkan juga, maka orang Mesir akan berkata bahwa Engkau tak sanggup membawa bangsa-Mu ke negeri yang Kaujanjikan kepada mereka, dan bahwa Engkau membawa mereka ke padang gurun untuk membunuh mereka, karena Engkau benci kepada mereka.
Or it may be said in the land from which you have taken them, Because the Lord was not able to take them into the land which he said he would give them, and because of his hate for them, he has taken them out to put them to death in the waste land.
29 Tetapi ingatlah, TUHAN, bahwa mereka ini bangsa yang Kaupilih menjadi umat-Mu, dan Kaubawa dari Mesir dengan kekuatan dan kekuasaan-Mu yang besar."
But still they are your people and your heritage, whom you took out by your great power and by your stretched-out arm.
