Hakim-hakim 2
1 Lalu Malaikat TUHAN pergi dari Gilgal ke Bokhim dan berfirman: "Telah Kutuntun kamu keluar dari Mesir dan Kubawa ke negeri yang Kujanjikan dengan bersumpah kepada nenek moyangmu, dan Aku telah berfirman: Aku tidak akan membatalkan perjanjian-Ku dengan kamu untuk selama-lamanya,
The angel of Yahweh went up from Gilgal to Bokim, and said, “I brought you up from Egypt, and have brought you to the land I swore to give to your fathers. I said, 'I will never break my covenant with you.
2 tetapi janganlah kamu mengikat perjanjian dengan penduduk negeri ini; mezbah mereka haruslah kamu robohkan. Tetapi kamu tidak mendengarkan firman-Ku. Mengapa kamu perbuat demikian?
You must make no covenant with those who live in this land. You must tear down their altars.' But you have not listened to my voice. What is this that you have done?
3 Lagi Aku telah berfirman: Aku tidak akan menghalau orang-orang itu dari depanmu, tetapi mereka akan menjadi musuhmu dan segala allah mereka akan menjadi jerat bagimu."
So now I say, 'I will not drive the Canaanites out before you, but they will become thorns in your sides, and their gods will become a trap for you.'”
4 Setelah Malaikat TUHAN mengucapkan firman itu kepada seluruh Israel, menangislah bangsa itu dengan keras.
When the angel of Yahweh spoke these words to all the people of Israel, the people shouted and wept.
5 Maka tempat itu dinamai Bokhim. Lalu mereka mempersembahkan korban di sana kepada TUHAN.
They called that place Bokim. There they offered sacrifices to Yahweh.
6 Setelah Yosua melepas bangsa itu pergi, maka pergilah orang Israel itu, masing-masing ke milik pusakanya, untuk memiliki negeri itu.
Now when Joshua had sent the people on their way, the people of Israel each went to the place assigned, to take ownership of their land.
7 Dan bangsa itu beribadah kepada TUHAN sepanjang zaman Yosua dan sepanjang zaman para tua-tua yang hidup lebih lama dari pada Yosua, dan yang telah melihat segenap perbuatan yang besar, yang dilakukan TUHAN bagi orang Israel.
The people served Yahweh during the lifetime of Joshua and of the elders who outlived him, those who had seen all of Yahweh's great deeds he had done for Israel.
8 Dan Yosua bin Nun, hamba TUHAN itu, mati pada umur seratus sepuluh tahun;
Joshua son of Nun the servant of Yahweh, died at the age of 110 years old.
9 ia dikuburkan di daerah milik pusakanya di Timnat-Heres, di pegunungan Efraim, di sebelah utara gunung Gaas.
They buried him within the border of the land he was assigned in Timnath Heres, in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash.
10 Setelah seluruh angkatan itu dikumpulkan kepada nenek moyangnya, bangkitlah sesudah mereka itu angkatan yang lain, yang tidak mengenal TUHAN ataupun perbuatan yang dilakukan-Nya bagi orang Israel.
All that generation was also gathered to their fathers. Another generation grew up after them who did not know Yahweh or what he had done for Israel.
11 Lalu orang Israel melakukan apa yang jahat di mata TUHAN dan mereka beribadah kepada para Baal.
The people of Israel did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh and they served the Baals.
12 Mereka meninggalkan TUHAN, Allah nenek moyang mereka yang telah membawa mereka keluar dari tanah Mesir, lalu mengikuti allah lain, dari antara allah bangsa-bangsa di sekeliling mereka, dan sujud menyembah kepadanya, sehingga mereka menyakiti hati TUHAN.
They broke away from Yahweh, the God of their fathers, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt. They went after other gods, the very gods of the peoples who were around them, and they bowed down to them. They provoked Yahweh to anger because
13 Demikianlah mereka meninggalkan TUHAN dan beribadah kepada Baal dan para Asytoret.
they broke away from Yahweh and worshiped Baal and the Ashtoreths.
14 Maka bangkitlah murka TUHAN terhadap orang Israel. Ia menyerahkan mereka ke dalam tangan perampok dan menjual mereka kepada musuh di sekeliling mereka, sehingga mereka tidak sanggup lagi menghadapi musuh mereka.
The anger of Yahweh burned against Israel, and he gave them to the raiders who stole their possessions from them. He sold them as slaves who were held by the strength of their enemies around them, so they could no longer defend themselves against their enemies.
15 Setiap kali mereka maju, tangan TUHAN melawan mereka dan mendatangkan malapetaka kepada mereka, sesuai dengan apa yang telah diperingatkan kepada mereka oleh TUHAN dengan sumpah, sehingga mereka sangat terdesak.
Wherever Israel went out to fight, Yahweh's hand was against them to defeat them, just as he had sworn to them and they were in terrible distress.
16 Maka TUHAN membangkitkan hakim-hakim, yang menyelamatkan mereka dari tangan perampok itu.
Then Yahweh raised up judges, who saved them out of the hand of those who were stealing their possessions.
17 Tetapi juga para hakim itu tidak mereka hiraukan, karena mereka berzinah dengan mengikuti allah lain dan sujud menyembah kepadanya. Mereka segera menyimpang dari jalan yang ditempuh oleh nenek moyangnya yang mendengarkan perintah TUHAN; mereka melakukan yang tidak patut.
Yet they would not listen to their judges. They were unfaithful to Yahweh and gave themselves like prostitutes to other gods and worshiped them. They soon turned aside from the way their fathers had lived—those who had obeyed the commandments of Yahweh—but they themselves did not do so.
18 Setiap kali apabila TUHAN membangkitkan seorang hakim bagi mereka, maka TUHAN menyertai hakim itu dan menyelamatkan mereka dari tangan musuh mereka selama hakim itu hidup; sebab TUHAN berbelas kasihan mendengar rintihan mereka karena orang-orang yang mendesak dan menindas mereka.
When Yahweh raised up judges for them, Yahweh helped the judges and rescued them from the hand of their enemies all the days the judge lived. Yahweh had pity on them as they groaned because of those who oppressed them and afflicted them.
19 Tetapi apabila hakim itu mati, kembalilah mereka berlaku jahat, lebih jahat dari nenek moyang mereka, dengan mengikuti allah lain, beribadah kepadanya dan sujud menyembah kepadanya; dalam hal apapun mereka tidak berhenti dengan perbuatan dan kelakuan mereka yang tegar itu.
But when the judge died, they would turn away and do things that were even more corrupt than their fathers had done. They would go after other gods to serve them and worship them. They refused to give up any of their evil practices or their stubborn ways.
20 Apabila murka TUHAN bangkit terhadap orang Israel, berfirmanlah Ia: "Karena bangsa ini melanggar perjanjian yang telah Kuperintahkan kepada nenek moyang mereka, dan tidak mendengarkan firman-Ku,
The anger of Yahweh burned against Israel; he said, “Because this nation has broken the terms of my covenant that I had set in place for their fathers—because they have not listened to my voice—
21 maka Akupun tidak mau menghalau lagi dari depan mereka satupun dari bangsa-bangsa yang ditinggalkan Yosua pada waktu matinya,
I will not, from now on, drive out from before them any of the nations that Joshua left when he died.
22 supaya dengan perantaraan bangsa-bangsa itu Aku mencobai orang Israel, apakah mereka tetap hidup menurut jalan yang ditunjukkan TUHAN, seperti yang dilakukan oleh nenek moyang mereka, atau tidak."
I will do this so that I may test Israel, whether or not they will keep the way of Yahweh and walk in it, as their fathers kept it.”
23 Demikianlah TUHAN membiarkan bangsa-bangsa itu tinggal dengan tidak segera menghalau mereka; mereka tidak diserahkan-Nya ke dalam tangan Yosua.
That is why Yahweh left those nations and did not drive them out quickly and give them into the hand of Joshua.
