Ulangan 2
1 "Kemudian kita balik dan berangkat ke padang gurun, ke arah Laut Teberau, seperti yang difirmankan TUHAN kepadaku. Lama kita berjalan keliling pegunungan Seir.
“Then we turned around and went through the desert toward the (Red Sea/Gulf of Aqaba), as Yahweh told us to do, and we wandered in the Edom area for many years.
2 Lalu berfirmanlah TUHAN kepadaku, demikian:
Then Yahweh said to me,
3 Telah cukup lamanya kamu berjalan keliling pegunungan ini, beloklah sekarang ke utara.
‘You have been wandering around this hilly area for a long enough time. Now turn [and travel] toward the north.
4 Perintahkanlah kepada bangsa itu, demikian: Sebentar lagi kamu akan berjalan melalui daerah saudara-saudaramu, bani Esau, yang diam di Seir; mereka akan takut kepadamu. Tetapi hati-hatilah sekali;
And tell the people that they are about to travel near the land that belongs to the descendants of Esau, who are also descendants of Isaac. They live in the [hilly] Edom region. They will be afraid of you,
5 janganlah menyerang mereka, sebab Aku tidak akan memberikan kepadamu setapak kaki dari negeri mereka, karena kepada Esau telah Kuberikan pegunungan Seir menjadi miliknya.
but do not start to fight against them, because I am not going to give you even a tiny bit [HYP] of their land. I have given that land to the descendants of Esau.
6 Makanan haruslah kamu beli dari mereka dengan uang, supaya kamu dapat makan; juga air haruslah kamu beli dari mereka dengan uang, supaya kamu dapat minum.
[When you travel near their land], buy food and water from them.’
7 Sebab TUHAN, Allahmu, memberkati engkau dalam segala pekerjaan tanganmu. Ia memperhatikan perjalananmu melalui padang gurun yang besar ini; keempat puluh tahun ini TUHAN, Allahmu, menyertai engkau, dan engkau tidak kekurangan apapun.
Do not forget that Yahweh our God has blessed you in everything that you [SYN] have done. He knows [what has happened to you while] you have wandered in this huge desert. But he has been with you during those 40 years, and as a result you have had everything that you needed [LIT].
8 Kemudian kita berjalan terus, meninggalkan daerah saudara-saudara kita, bani Esau yang diam di Seir, meninggalkan jalan dari Araba-Yordan, yakni dari Elat dan Ezion-Geber. Sesudah itu kita belok dan berjalan terus ke arah padang gurun Moab.
So we continued to travel. We avoided going through the hilly area where the descendants of Esau live. We stayed away from the road through the Jordan [River] Valley past Ezion-Geber and Elath [towns], and we turned and traveled northeast toward the desert area where the Moab people-group lives.
9 Lalu berfirmanlah TUHAN kepadaku: Janganlah melawan Moab dan janganlah menyerang mereka, sebab Aku tidak akan memberikan kepadamu apapun dari negerinya menjadi milikmu, karena Ar telah Kuberikan kepada bani Lot menjadi miliknya.
Yahweh said to me, ‘Do not bother/harass the people of Moab, and do not start to fight against them, because I am not going to give you any of their land. [Do not forget that] they are descendants of [Abraham’s nephew] Lot, and I have given to them Ar [city, their capital, and the other areas in that country].’”
10 Dahulu orang Emim diam di sana, suatu bangsa yang besar dan banyak jumlahnya, tinggi seperti orang Enak.
A large group of giants called Emim formerly lived there. They were strong and numerous, and as tall as the giants who were descendants of Anak.
11 Mereka itupun dikira orang Refaim, seperti juga orang Enak, tetapi orang Moab menyebut mereka orang Emim.
They and the descendants of Anak are also called the Repha giants, but the people of Moab call them Emim.
12 Dan dahulu di Seir diam orang Hori, tetapi bani Esau telah menduduki daerah mereka, memunahkan mereka dari hadapannya, lalu menetap di sana menggantikan mereka, seperti yang dilakukan orang Israel dengan negeri miliknya yang diberikan TUHAN kepada mereka.
The Hor people-group also formerly lived in the Edom area, but the descendants of Esau chased them out. They defeated and killed them and (settled in/occupied) their land, just as the Israeli people later expelled their enemies from the land that Yahweh gave to them.
13 Jadi sekarang bersiaplah kamu dan seberangilah sungai Zered. Lalu kita menyeberangi sungai Zered.
[I also said to the Israeli people], “Then we crossed the Zered Gorge, as Yahweh told us to do.
14 Lamanya kita berjalan sejak dari Kadesh-Barnea sampai kita ada di seberang sungai Zered, ada tiga puluh delapan tahun, sampai seluruh angkatan itu, yakni prajurit, habis binasa dari perkemahan, seperti yang dijanjikan TUHAN dengan sumpah kepada mereka;
It had been thirty-eight years from the time we first left Kadesh-Barnea until we crossed the Zered Gorge. During those years, all the Israeli (fighting men/soldiers) of that generation had died, as Yahweh had vowed would happen.
15 dan tangan TUHAN juga melawan mereka untuk menghamburkan mereka dari perkemahan, sampai mereka habis binasa.
They died because Yahweh opposed them, until he had gotten rid of all of them.
16 Maka ketika dari bangsa itu telah habis binasa semua prajurit,
After all the men who had been old enough to fight in wars had died [DOU],
17 berfirmanlah TUHAN kepadaku:
Yahweh said to me,
18 Pada hari ini engkau akan berjalan melintasi perbatasan Moab, yakni Ar,
‘Today you all must cross the border into the Moab region, near Ar, [their capital city].
19 maka engkau sampai ke dekat bani Amon. Janganlah melawan mereka dan janganlah menyerang mereka, sebab Aku tidak akan memberikan kepadamu apapun dari negeri bani Amon itu menjadi milikmu, karena Aku telah memberikannya kepada bani Lot menjadi miliknya.
When you come near the border of the land where the Ammon people-group live, do not bother/harass them or start to fight against them. They are also descendants of Lot, so I am not going to give you any of the land that I have given to them.’”
20 --Negeri inipun dikira orang negeri orang Refaim. Dahulu orang Refaim diam di sana, tetapi orang Amon menyebut mereka orang Zamzumim,
That region is also called the land of the Repha giants, who formerly lived there. The Ammon people-group call them the Zamzum group.
21 suatu bangsa yang besar dan banyak jumlahnya, tinggi seperti orang Enak, tetapi TUHAN telah memunahkan mereka dari hadapan bani Amon, sehingga orang-orang ini menduduki daerah mereka dan menetap di sana menggantikan mereka;
They were a large and powerful group, who were as tall as the descendants of Anak. But Yahweh got rid of them, and the Ammon people-group expelled them and took their land away from them and started to live there.
22 seperti yang dilakukan TUHAN bagi bani Esau yang diam di Seir, ketika Ia memunahkan orang Hori dari hadapan mereka, sehingga mereka menduduki daerah orang Hori itu dan menetap di sana menggantikan orang-orang itu sampai sekarang.
Yahweh had done the same thing for the descendants of Esau who live in the hilly area of Edom. He got rid of the Hor people-group, with the result that the Edom people-group took their land from them and started to live there. They still live there.
23 Juga orang Awi yang diam di kampung-kampung sampai Gaza, dipunahkan oleh orang Kaftor yang berasal dari Kaftor, lalu orang Kaftor itu menetap di sana menggantikan mereka. --
People who came from Crete [Island] got rid of the Av group [who previously lived in the land close to the Mediterranean Sea], as far south as Gaza. They took their land from them and started to live there.
24 Bersiaplah kamu, berangkatlah dan seberangilah sungai Arnon. Ketahuilah, Aku menyerahkan Sihon, raja Hesybon, orang Amori itu, beserta negerinya ke dalam tanganmu; mulailah menduduki negerinya dan seranglah Sihon.
“[After we had gone through the Moab region], Yahweh said to us, ‘Now cross the Arnon [River]. I will help you to defeat [IDM] [the army of] Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group, who lives in Heshbon [city]. So attack their army and start to take their land from them.
25 Pada hari ini Aku mulai mendatangkan ke atas bangsa-bangsa di seluruh kolong langit keseganan dan ketakutan terhadap kamu, sehingga mereka menggigil dan gemetar karena engkau, apabila mereka mendengar tentang kamu."
Today I will begin to cause everyone, everywhere, to be afraid of you. Everyone who hears about you will tremble and be terrified.’
26 "Kemudian aku menyuruh utusan dari padang gurun Kedemot kepada Sihon, raja Hesybon, menyampaikan pesan perdamaian, bunyinya:
Then I sent messengers to go from the desert to King Sihon at Heshbon. I told them to give this peaceful message to the king:
27 Izinkanlah aku berjalan melalui negerimu. Aku akan tetap berjalan mengikuti jalan raya, dengan tidak menyimpang ke kanan atau ke kiri.
‘Please allow us to travel through your land. We [promise that we] will stay on the road; we will not turn off to the right or to the left.
28 Juallah makanan kepadaku dengan bayaran uang, supaya aku dapat makan, dan berikanlah air kepadaku ganti uang, supaya aku dapat minum; hanya izinkanlah aku lewat dengan berjalan kaki--
We will pay for any food or water that you allow us to buy. We want only to walk through your country,
29 seperti yang diperbuat kepadaku oleh bani Esau yang diam di Seir dan oleh orang Moab yang diam di Ar--sampai aku menyeberangi sungai Yordan pergi ke negeri yang diberikan kepada kami oleh TUHAN, Allah kami.
until we cross the Jordan [River] into the land that Yahweh our God is giving to us. Do for us just as the descendants of Esau who live in the Edom area and the Moab people-group did for us when they allowed us to go through their areas.’
30 Tetapi Sihon, raja Hesybon, tidak mau memberi kita berjalan melalui daerahnya, sebab TUHAN, Allahmu, membuat dia keras kepala dan tegar hati, dengan maksud menyerahkan dia ke dalam tanganmu, seperti yang terjadi sekarang ini.
But King Sihon would not allow us to go through his country. That was because Yahweh our God caused him to be stubborn [IDM]. The result was that Yahweh enabled us to defeat his army and take his land [IDM], which we still live in.
31 Lalu TUHAN berfirman kepadaku: Ketahuilah, Aku mulai menyerahkan Sihon dan negerinya kepadamu. Mulailah menduduki negerinya supaya menjadi milikmu.
Yahweh said to me, ‘Listen! I am about to allow you to defeat Sihon’s [army] and to take the people’s land from them. So start to occupy it!’
32 Kemudian Sihon dan seluruh tentaranya maju mendatangi kita, untuk berperang dekat Yahas,
Then Sihon came out [of the city] with all his army to fight against us at Jahaz [town].
33 tetapi TUHAN, Allah kita, menyerahkan dia kepada kita, sehingga kita mengalahkan dia dengan anak-anaknya dan seluruh tentaranya.
But God enabled us to defeat [DOU] them, and we killed Sihon and his sons and all his soldiers.
34 Pada waktu itu kita merebut segala kotanya dan menumpas penduduk setiap kota: laki-laki dan perempuan serta anak-anak. Tidak ada seorangpun yang kita biarkan terluput;
We captured all their cities and destroyed them all. We killed all the men and women and children; we did not allow any of them to remain alive.
35 hanya hewan kita rampas bagi kita sendiri, seperti juga jarahan dari kota-kota yang telah kita rebut.
We took the valuable things that were in the cities that we captured and also their cattle.
36 Mulai dari Aroer, di tepi sungai Arnon, dan kota di lembah itu, sampai Gilead tidak ada kota yang bentengnya terlalu kuat bagi kita; sebab TUHAN, Allah kita, menyerahkan semuanya kepada kita.
Yahweh our God enabled us to capture [IDM] all their towns from Aroer [in the south], which is at the edge of the Arnon River [Valley], to the Gilead [region in the north]. Some of their cities had [walls around them], but we were able to [climb over them].
37 Hanya negeri bani Amon tidak engkau dekati, baik sungai Yabok sepanjang tepinya maupun kota-kota di pegunungan, tepat seperti yang dilarang TUHAN, Allah kita."
But we did not go near the area where the Ammon people-group live, or the banks of the Jabbok riverbed, or the towns in the hilly area, or any other place where Yahweh our God told us not to go.”
