Deuteronomy 29
1 These are the words of the covenant which the Lord instructed Moses to form with the sons of Israel in the land of Moab, beside that covenant which he struck with them at Horeb.
Inilah kata-kata perjanjian yang atas perintah TUHAN dibuat Musa dengan bangsa Israel waktu mereka berada di tanah Moab. Perjanjian itu merupakan tambahan dari perjanjian yang dibuat TUHAN dengan mereka di Gunung Sinai.
2 And Moses called all of Israel, and he said to them: “You have seen all the things that the Lord has done in your sight in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to his entire land:
Musa menyuruh semua orang Israel berkumpul, lalu berkata kepada mereka, "Kamu sudah melihat sendiri apa yang dilakukan TUHAN terhadap raja Mesir, para pejabatnya dan seluruh negerinya.
3 the great trials, which your eyes have seen, those immense signs and wonders.
Kamu juga sudah melihat bencana-bencana yang dahsyat, mujizat-mujizat dan keajaiban-keajaiban yang dilakukan TUHAN.
4 But the Lord has not given you an understanding heart, and seeing eyes, and ears that are able to hear, even to this present day.
Tetapi sampai hari ini Ia belum memungkinkan kamu mengerti semua yang kamu alami itu.
5 He led you for forty years through the desert. Your garments have not been worn out, nor have the shoes on your feet been consumed by age.
Empat puluh tahun lamanya TUHAN memimpin kamu melalui padang gurun, namun pakaian dan sandalmu tidak menjadi usang.
6 You did not eat bread, nor did you drink wine or liquor, so that you would know that I am the Lord your God.
Kamu tidak mempunyai roti untuk makanan, air anggur atau minuman keras, tetapi TUHAN memberi segala yang kamu perlukan supaya kamu tahu bahwa Dialah TUHAN Allahmu.
7 And you arrived at this place. And Sihon, the king of Heshbon, and Og, the king of Bashan, went out to meet us in battle. And we struck them down.
Dan ketika kita sampai di tempat ini, Raja Sihon dari Hesybon dan Raja Og dari Basan datang memerangi kita. Tetapi kita kalahkan mereka.
8 And we took their land and delivered it as a possession to Ruben and to Gad, and to half of the tribe of Manasseh.
Tanah mereka kita rebut dan kita bagikan kepada suku Ruben, Gad dan sebagian suku Manasye.
9 Therefore, keep the words of this covenant, and fulfill them, so that you may understand all that you are doing.
Maka hendaklah kamu setia mentaati seluruh perjanjian ini, supaya kamu berhasil dalam segala usahamu.
10 Today, you all stand in the sight of the Lord your God: your leaders, and tribes, and those greater by birth, and teachers, all the people of Israel,
Hari ini kamu semua berdiri di hadapan TUHAN Allahmu, semua kepala suku, pemuka, perwira, semua laki-laki,
11 your children and wives, and the new arrival who dwells with you in the camp, aside from those who cut wood, and those who bring water,
wanita, anak-anak, dan semua orang asing yang tinggal di antara kamu dan membantu kamu memotong kayu dan memikul air.
12 so that you may cross into the covenant of the Lord your God, and into the oath which the Lord your God strikes with you today.
TUHAN Allahmu membuat perjanjian dengan kamu, dan kamu semua berkumpul di sini untuk mengikat perjanjian itu serta menerima kewajiban-kewajibannya.
13 So shall he raise you up as a people to himself, and so shall he be your God, just as he has spoken to you, and just as he swore to your fathers: Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Dengan perjanjian itu TUHAN hari ini mengukuhkan kamu menjadi bangsa-Nya, dan Ia menjadi Allahmu seperti yang dijanjikan-Nya kepadamu dan kepada nenek moyangmu Abraham, Ishak dan Yakub.
14 And I am not forming this covenant and confirm these oaths with you alone,
Perjanjian itu dengan segala kewajibannya dibuat TUHAN bukan dengan kamu saja,
15 but with all those who are present as well as those who are absent.
tetapi dengan setiap orang yang pada hari ini berdiri di sini, di hadapan TUHAN Allah kita, dan juga dengan keturunan kita di masa depan."
16 For you know how we lived in the land of Egypt, and how we passed through the midst of nations. And when passing through them,
"Kamu masih ingat bagaimana nasib kita di Mesir dan bagaimana kita berjalan melalui negeri bangsa-bangsa lain.
17 you saw their abominations and filth, that is, their idols of wood and of stone, of silver and of gold, which they worshipped,
Kamu sudah melihat patung-patung berhala mereka yang menjijikkan dari kayu, batu, perak dan emas.
18 so that there would not be among you man or woman, family or tribe, whose heart has been turned away this day from the Lord our God, so as to go and serve the gods of those nations. For then there would be among you a root springing forth gall and bitterness.
Jadi jagalah jangan sampai seorang pun di antara kamu, laki-laki atau perempuan, keluarga atau suku yang berdiri di sini, berbalik dari TUHAN Allah kita untuk menyembah ilah-ilah bangsa lain. Perbuatan itu seperti akar yang tumbuh menjadi tanaman pahit dan beracun.
19 And if he were to hear the words of this oath, he would bless himself in his own heart saying: ‘There will be peace for me, and I will walk in the depravity of my heart.’ And so, the one who is inebriated would consume the one who is thirsty.
Di antara kamu yang mendengar tuntutan yang keras itu janganlah ada yang berpikir bahwa nasibnya akan tetap baik, sekalipun ia dengan nekat mengikuti jalannya sendiri. Hal itu akan membinasakan kamu semua, orang-orang yang jahat maupun yang baik.
20 But the Lord would not ignore him. Instead, at that time, his fury and zealousness would be very greatly enflamed against that man, and all the curses which have been written in this volume would settle upon him. And the Lord would abolish his name from under heaven,
TUHAN tidak akan mengampuni orang seperti itu. Sebaliknya, dia akan kena kemarahan TUHAN yang meluap-luap, dan segala bencana yang tertulis di dalam buku ini akan menimpa dia, sampai ia dibinasakan TUHAN.
21 and consume him unto perdition out of all the tribes of Israel, according to the curses which are contained in the book of this law and in the covenant.
TUHAN akan menjadikan dia sebuah contoh untuk semua suku Israel, dan menghukum dia dengan kutuk yang disebut dalam perjanjian yang tertulis di dalam buku ini, buku Hukum TUHAN.
22 And the subsequent generation would speak out, along with the sons who will be born afterward. And the sojourners, who will arrive from far away, will see the plagues of that land and the infirmities with which the Lord will have afflicted it,
Di kemudian hari, keturunanmu dan orang asing dari negeri jauh akan melihat bencana-bencana dan penderitaan yang didatangkan TUHAN atas negerimu.
23 having burned it with sulphur and molten salt, so that it can no longer be sown. And certainly no greenery would spring up, as in the example of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, which the Lord overturned with his wrath and fury.
Ladang-ladangmu akan menjadi padang tandus tertutup belerang dan garam. Tanahnya tak dapat ditanami dan rumput tak mau tumbuh di situ. Negerimu akan menyerupai kota-kota Sodom dan Gomora, Adma dan Zeboim yang dimusnahkan TUHAN ketika kemarahan-Nya berkobar-kobar.
24 And so, all the nations would say: ‘Why has the Lord acted this way toward this land? What is this immense wrath of his fury?’
Maka seluruh dunia akan bertanya, 'Mengapa TUHAN berbuat begitu dengan negeri mereka? Apa sebab Ia marah sehebat itu?'
25 And they will respond: ‘Because they abandoned the covenant of the Lord, which he formed with their fathers, when he led them away from the land of Egypt.
Dan jawabnya ialah, 'Karena mereka mengingkari perjanjian TUHAN, Allah nenek moyang mereka; perjanjian yang dibuat-Nya dengan mereka pada waktu Ia membawa mereka keluar dari Mesir.
26 And they have served foreign gods, and adored them, though they did not know them, and though they had not been allotted to them.
Mereka mengabdi kepada ilah-ilah lain yang tidak mereka kenal, padahal TUHAN melarang mereka menyembah ilah-ilah itu.
27 For this reason, the fury of the Lord was enraged against this land, so as to lead over it all the curses which have been written in this volume.
Itulah sebabnya TUHAN marah kepada umat-Nya dan mendatangkan atas negeri mereka semua bencana yang tertulis di dalam buku ini.
28 And he has cast them out of their own land, with anger and fury, and with a very great indignation, and he has thrown them into a strange land, just as has been proven this day.’
Kemarahan TUHAN meledak dengan hebatnya, dan dalam kemarahan-Nya yang besar Ia mencabut bangsa Israel dari tanah mereka dan melemparkan mereka ke negeri asing sehingga mereka ada di sana.'
29 These hidden things of the Lord our God have been revealed to us and to our sons in perpetuity, so that we may accomplish all the words of this law.”
Ada beberapa hal yang dirahasiakan TUHAN Allah kita; tetapi hukum-Nya telah dinyatakan-Nya kepada kita, dan kita serta keturunan kita harus mentaatinya untuk selama-lamanya."
