Ulangan 16

1 "Ingatlah akan bulan Abib dan rayakanlah Paskah bagi TUHAN, Allahmu, sebab dalam bulan Abib itulah TUHAN, Allahmu, membawa engkau keluar dari Mesir pada waktu malam.

“[Each year] honor Yahweh our God by celebrating the Passover [Festival] in the month of Abib [in early spring]. It was on a night in that month that Yahweh rescued your ancestors from Egypt.

2 Maka engkau harus menyembelih kambing domba dan lembu sapi sebagai korban Paskah bagi TUHAN, Allahmu, di tempat yang akan dipilih TUHAN untuk membuat nama-Nya diam di sana.

[In order to celebrate that festival], go to the place that Yahweh will choose [for you to worship him], and offer [there one young animal] from your cattle or your sheep to be the Passover sacrifice, to honor Yahweh [MTY].

3 Janganlah engkau makan sesuatu yang beragi besertanya; tujuh hari lamanya engkau harus makan roti yang tidak beragi besertanya, yakni roti penderitaan, sebab dengan buru-buru engkau keluar dari tanah Mesir. Maksudnya supaya seumur hidupmu engkau teringat akan hari engkau keluar dari tanah Mesir.

[When you eat the Passover meal], the bread that you eat must not have yeast in it. You must eat this kind of bread, which will be called the bread of suffering/misery, for seven days. This is to help you to remember all during the time that you are alive that when your ancestors left Egypt, [where they were suffering because they were slaves], they left very quickly. [They did not put in yeast and wait for the dough to swell up].

4 Janganlah terdapat padamu ragi di seluruh daerahmu, tujuh hari lamanya; dan dari daging hewan yang kausembelih pada waktu petang pada hari pertama, janganlah ada yang bermalam sampai pagi.

[During that festival], you must not have any yeast in any house in your land for seven days. Furthermore, the meat [of the animals] that you sacrifice on the evening of the first day [of the Passover Festival must be eaten during that night]; do not allow any of it to remain until the next day.

5 Engkau tidak boleh mempersembahkan korban Paskah di salah satu tempat yang diberikan kepadamu oleh TUHAN, Allahmu.

“To honor Yahweh our God, you must offer the Passover sacrifice only at the place that he chooses for you [to worship him]; do not offer that sacrifice in any other town in the land that Yahweh is giving to you. Offer that sacrifice when the sun is setting, at the same time of day that your ancestors [started to] leave Egypt.

6 Tetapi di tempat yang akan dipilih TUHAN, Allahmu, untuk membuat nama-Nya diam di sana, engkau harus mempersembahkan korban Paskah itu pada waktu senja, ketika matahari terbenam, bertepatan dengan saat engkau keluar dari Mesir.

7 Engkau harus memasaknya dan memakannya di tempat yang akan dipilih TUHAN, Allahmu; kemudian paginya engkau harus pulang kembali ke kemahmu.

Boil [the meat] and eat it at the place [of worship] that Yahweh our God chooses. The next morning, you may return to your tents.

8 Enam hari lamanya engkau harus makan roti yang tidak beragi dan pada hari yang ketujuh harus ada perkumpulan raya bagi TUHAN, Allahmu; maka janganlah engkau melakukan pekerjaan.

Each day for six days the bread that you eat must have no yeast in it. On the seventh day, you must all gather to worship Yahweh our God. [It will be a day of rest]; you must not do any work on that day.”

9 Tujuh minggu harus kauhitung: pada waktu orang mulai menyabit gandum yang belum dituai, haruslah engkau mulai menghitung tujuh minggu itu.

“[Each year], from the day that you start to harvest your grain, count seven weeks.

10 Kemudian haruslah engkau merayakan hari raya Tujuh Minggu bagi TUHAN, Allahmu, sekedar persembahan sukarela yang akan kauberikan, sesuai dengan berkat yang diberikan kepadamu oleh TUHAN, Allahmu.

Then, to honor Yahweh our God, celebrate the Harvest Festival. Do that by bringing to him an offering [of grain]. Yahweh has blessed you [by causing it to grow in your fields during that year]. If you had a big harvest, bring a big offering. If you had a small harvest, bring a small offering.

11 Haruslah engkau bersukaria di hadapan TUHAN, Allahmu, engkau ini dan anakmu laki-laki serta anakmu perempuan, hambamu laki-laki dan hambamu perempuan, dan orang Lewi yang di dalam tempatmu, dan orang asing, anak yatim dan janda, yang di tengah-tengahmu, di tempat yang akan dipilih TUHAN, Allahmu, untuk membuat nama-Nya diam di sana.

[Each married couple] should be joyful in the presence of Yahweh. Their children, their servants, the descendants of Levi [who are in that town], and the foreigners, orphans, and widows [who are living among you], should also be joyful. Bring those offerings to the place of worship that Yahweh will choose.

12 Haruslah kauingat, bahwa engkaupun dahulu budak di Mesir, dan haruslah engkau melakukan ketetapan ini dengan setia.

[“When you celebrate these festivals] by obeying these commands, remember that your ancestors were previously slaves in Egypt.”

13 Hari raya Pondok Daun haruslah kaurayakan tujuh hari lamanya, apabila engkau selesai mengumpulkan hasil tempat pengirikanmu dan tempat pemerasanmu.

“[Each year], after you have threshed all your grain and pressed [the juice from] all your grapes, you must celebrate the Festival of [Living in Temporary] Shelters for seven days.

14 Haruslah engkau bersukaria pada hari rayamu itu, engkau ini dan anakmu laki-laki serta anakmu perempuan, hambamu laki-laki dan hambamu perempuan, dan orang Lewi, orang asing, anak yatim dan janda yang di dalam tempatmu.

[Each married couple] along with their children, their servants, the descendants of Levi [who are in that town], and the foreigners, orphans, and widows [who are living among you], should be joyful in the presence of Yahweh.

15 Tujuh hari lamanya harus engkau mengadakan perayaan bagi TUHAN, Allahmu, di tempat yang akan dipilih TUHAN; sebab TUHAN, Allahmu, akan memberkati engkau dalam segala hasil tanahmu dan dalam segala usahamu, sehingga engkau dapat bersukaria dengan sungguh-sungguh.

Honor Yahweh our God by celebrating this festival for seven days in the place that Yahweh chooses [for you to worship him]. You should all be joyful, because Yahweh will have blessed your harvest and all the other work that you have done.

16 Tiga kali setahun setiap orang laki-laki di antaramu harus menghadap hadirat TUHAN, Allahmu, ke tempat yang akan dipilih-Nya, yakni pada hari raya Roti Tidak Beragi, pada hari raya Tujuh Minggu dan pada hari raya Pondok Daun. Janganlah ia menghadap hadirat TUHAN dengan tangan hampa,

“So, each year all of you Israeli men must gather [with your families] to worship Yahweh our God at the place that he will choose, [to celebrate three festivals]: The Passover Festival, the Harvest Festival, and the Festival of Living in Temporary Shelters. Each of you men must bring [LIT] an offering [for Yahweh to these festivals]

17 tetapi masing-masing dengan sekedar persembahan, sesuai dengan berkat yang diberikan kepadamu oleh TUHAN, Allahmu."

in proportion to the blessings that Yahweh has given you [during that year].”

18 "Hakim-hakim dan petugas-petugas haruslah kauangkat di segala tempat yang diberikan TUHAN, Allahmu, kepadamu, menurut suku-sukumu; mereka harus menghakimi bangsa itu dengan pengadilan yang adil.

“Appoint judges and other officials throughout your tribes, in all the towns [in the land] that Yahweh our God is giving to you. They must judge people fairly/justly.

19 Janganlah memutarbalikkan keadilan, janganlah memandang bulu dan janganlah menerima suap, sebab suap membuat buta mata orang-orang bijaksana dan memutarbalikkan perkataan orang-orang yang benar.

They must not judge unjustly. They must not favor one person more than another. The judges must not accept bribes, because if a judge accepts a bribe, even if he is wise and honest, it will be very difficult for him to judge fairly [IDM]; [he will do what the person who gave him the bribe wants him to do and declare that] the righteous/innocent people [must be punished].

20 Semata-mata keadilan, itulah yang harus kaukejar, supaya engkau hidup dan memiliki negeri yang diberikan kepadamu oleh TUHAN, Allahmu."

You must be completely fair and just [DOU], in order that you will enter and occupy the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you.”

21 "Janganlah engkau menanam sesuatu pohon sebagai tiang berhala di samping mezbah TUHAN, Allahmu, mezbah yang akan kaubuat bagimu.

“When you make an altar to worship Yahweh our God, do not put next to it any wooden statue [that represents] the goddess Asherah.

22 Janganlah juga kaudirikan bagimu tugu berhala, yang dibenci oleh TUHAN, Allahmu.

And do not set up any [stone] pillar [to worship any idol, because] Yahweh hates them.”
