Deuteronomy 29
1 These are the things that the Israelis were required to do to keep the agreement that Yahweh was making with them. Moses/I commanded them to keep this agreement [when they/we were] in the Moab region [on the east side of the Jordan River]. This was in addition to the agreement that Yahweh had made with them/us at Sinai [Mountain].
TUHAN memberikan semua hukum dan penjelasan tadi kepada Musa ketika umat Israel masih berkemah di wilayah Moab. Hal-hal itu menjelaskan perjanjian dengan TUHAN yang sudah ditetapkan di gunung Sinai.
2 Moses/I summoned all the Israeli people and said to them, “You saw [SYN] for yourselves what Yahweh did to the king of Egypt and to his officials and to his entire country.
Musa memanggil semua orang Israel dan berkata kepada mereka, “Di Mesir, kalian sudah menyaksikan semua yang TUHAN lakukan terhadap raja Mesir, para pejabatnya, dan seluruh rakyatnya.
3 You [SYN] saw all the plagues [that Yahweh caused them to experience], and all the various miracles [DOU] [that Yahweh performed].
Dengan matamu sendiri, kalian sudah melihat berbagai bencana dan keajaiban yang TUHAN lakukan.
4 But until now, Yahweh has not enabled you to understand [the meaning of] all that you have seen and heard.
Tetapi sampai hari ini, TUHAN belum membuka pikiranmu agar mengerti makna dari semua yang sudah kalian alami.
5 For 40 years Yahweh has led you while you traveled/walked through the desert. During that time, your clothes and your sandals have not worn out.
TUHAN sudah memberi tahu kalian, ‘Selama empat puluh tahun Aku memimpin kalian melewati padang belantara, pakaian dan alas kaki yang kalian pakai tidak menjadi usang.
6 You did not have bread to eat or wine or other fermented/strong drinks to drink, but Yahweh [took care of you], in order that you would know that he is your God.
Selama itu, kalian juga tidak makan roti, minum anggur, ataupun menikmati bir, tetapi Aku menyediakan segala sesuatu yang kalian perlukan. Demikianlah Aku membuktikan bahwa Akulah TUHAN Allahmu.’”
7 “And when we came to this place, Sihon, the king who ruled in Heshbon [city], and Og, the king who ruled the Bashan [region], came [with their armies] to attack us, but we defeated them.
Selanjutnya kata Musa, “Ketika kita sampai di tempat ini, Raja Sihon dari Hesbon dan Raja Og dari Basan menyerang kita, tetapi kita mengalahkan mereka.
8 We took/conquered their land and divided it among the tribes of Reuben and Gad, and half of the tribe of Manasseh.
Kita merebut negeri mereka dan membagikannya kepada suku Ruben, suku Gad, dan separuh suku Manasye sebagai milik pusaka mereka.
9 “So faithfully keep all of this agreement, in order that you will be successful in everything that you do.
“Karena itu taatilah semua ketentuan perjanjian kita dengan TUHAN, supaya Dia memberkati segala usahamu.
10 Today all of us are standing in the presence of Yahweh our God. The leaders of all our tribes, our elders, our officials, all you Israeli men,
Hari ini, kalian semua— termasuk para pemimpin suku, tua-tua, perwira, dan semua laki-laki Israel— berdiri di hadapan TUHAN Allah kita.
11 your wives, your children, and the foreigners who live among you and cut wood for you and carry water for you, are here.
Hadir juga bersama kita anak-anak dan istri-istri kalian, juga semua pendatang yang tinggal di antara kita, yang bekerja memotong kayu dan menimba air.
12 [We are here] today to promise to keep this solemn agreement with Yahweh.
Kalian berkumpul di sini untuk menyatakan bersedia menerima semua ketentuan dalam perjanjian yang TUHAN Allah sahkan dengan kita hari ini.
13 [He is making this agreement with you] in order to confirm that you are his people, and that he is your God. This agreement is what he promised you, and which is what he vowed to give to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
Dengan mengikat perjanjian ini, kita diteguhkan sebagai umat-Nya, dan kita mengakui bahwa TUHAN adalah Allah kita. Dengan demikian, kita menggenapi yang sudah TUHAN katakan kepada kita dan perjanjian yang Dia sahkan dengan nenek moyang kita Abraham, Isak, dan Yakub.
14 This agreement is not only with you.
TUHAN mengikat perjanjian ini bukan hanya dengan kita saja
15 He is making this agreement with us [who are here today] and also with our descendants who are not yet born.
yang sekarang hadir di hadapan-Nya, tetapi juga dengan keturunan kita di masa yang akan datang.
16 “You remember [the things that our ancestors suffered] in Egypt, and how they traveled through the land that belonged to other nations [after they came out of Egypt].
“Kalian semua tahu bagaimana dulu bangsa kita tinggal di Mesir dan kemudian berjalan melewati wilayah bangsa-bangsa lain.
17 In those countries they saw those disgusting idols made of wood and stone and [decorated with] silver and gold.
Kalian juga sudah melihat patung-patung berhala mereka yang terbuat dari kayu, batu, perak, dan emas. Semua itu sangat menjijikan.
18 So be sure that no man or woman or family or tribe that is here [today] turns away from Yahweh our God, to worship/serve the gods of those nations. Doing that would be like a root [of a plant that would grow] among you and bear poisonous and bitter fruit [MET].
Pastikan jangan sampai ada di antara kalian, baik laki-laki, perempuan, keluarga, maupun suku, yang meninggalkan TUHAN dengan menyembah dewa-dewa bangsa lain. Orang-orang yang berbuat demikian dapat menjadi pengaruh buruk di antara kalian, seperti tanaman beracun yang meracuni orang-orang sehingga banyak yang tertular oleh kejahatannya.
19 “Be sure that no one here today who hears this agreement thinks, ‘Everything will go well with me, even if I stubbornly do what I want to.’ If you are stubborn like that, the result will be that Yahweh will eventually get rid of all of you, both good people and evil people [MET].
“Apabila ada orang bebal di antara kalian yang mendengar ketentuan perjanjian ini dan berkata dalam hatinya, ‘Aku akan selamat meskipun hidup sesuka hatiku sendiri,’ maka hal itu akan mendatangkan bencana atas kalian semua, yang jahat maupun yang baik.
20 Yahweh will not forgive anyone who is [stubborn] like that. Instead, he will be extremely angry [DOU] with that person, and that person will experience all the curses that I have told you about, until Yahweh gets rid of that person and his family [IDM].
TUHAN tidak akan bersedia mengampuni orang bebal seperti itu. TUHAN akan memisahkan orang itu dari antara suku-suku Israel, lalu mengobarkan cemburu dan amarah-Nya ke atas orang itu seperti api yang membakar habis. Semua kutuk perjanjian yang tertulis dalam kitab Taurat ini akan menimpa dia dan keturunannya, sampai TUHAN melenyapkan mereka.
21 From all the tribes of Israel, Yahweh will separate that individual. Yahweh will cause him to experience all the disasters that I have listed in the agreement that states the things that Yahweh will do to curse [those who disobey] the laws [that I have written] in this scroll/book.
22 “In the future, your descendants and people from other countries will see the disasters and the illnesses that Yahweh has caused to happen to you.
“Lama kelamaan, berbagai kutukan bencana dan wabah penyakit yang berulang kali ditimpakan akan berdampak. Tanah di seluruh negeri Israel akan rusak oleh belerang dan garam sehingga tidak bisa ditanami apa pun, bahkan rumput liar pun tidak bisa tumbuh. Negeri itu akan menjadi seperti kota Sodom, Gomora, Adma, dan Zeboim, yang dihancurkan TUHAN dalam murka-Nya. Lalu pengunjung dari bangsa lain bahkan sisa keturunanmu yang masih hidup
23 They will see that all your land has been ruined by burning sulfur and salt. Nothing will have been planted. Not even weeds will grow there. Your land will resemble Sodom and Gomorrah [cities], and Admah and Zeboiim [cities], which Yahweh destroyed when he was very angry [DOU] [with the people who lived there].
24 And the people from those other nations will ask, ‘Why did Yahweh do this to this land? Why was he very angry [with the people who lived here]?’
akan bertanya, ‘Mengapa TUHAN, Allah nenek moyang mereka, berbuat demikian pada negeri ini? Apa yang membuat-Nya begitu murka?’ “Maka orang-orang akan menjawab, ‘Ini terjadi karena bangsa Israel tidak lagi hidup sesuai dengan hukum dan ketentuan perjanjian yang mereka sahkan dengan TUHAN ketika Dia membawa mereka keluar dari Mesir.
25 “Then other people will reply, ‘It is because they refused to keep the agreement that Yahweh, the God whom their ancestors [worshiped], had made with them when he brought them out of Egypt.
26 Instead, they served/worshiped other gods that they had never worshiped before, gods that Yahweh had told them not to worship.
Mereka menyimpang dengan sujud menyembah dewa-dewa yang tidak pernah mereka kenal sebelumnya, dan yang dilarang oleh TUHAN.
27 So, Yahweh became very angry with the Israeli people in this land, and he caused them to experience all the disasters that their leader warned them about.
Perbuatan itulah yang membuat murka TUHAN berkobar sehingga Dia mengutuk negeri mereka, sesuai peringatan yang sudah tertulis dalam kitab ini.
28 Yahweh became extremely angry [DOU] with them and took/yanked them [MET] out of their land and banished them into another land, and they are still there.’
Akhirnya dalam amarah-Nya, TUHAN mencabut orang Israel dari negeri mereka dan membuang mereka ke negeri lain, di mana mereka tinggal sampai hari ini.’”
29 “[There are some] things that Yahweh our God has (kept secret/not revealed), but he has revealed his laws to us, and [he expects] us and our descendants to obey them forever.”
Sebagai penutup, Musa berkata, “Ada hal-hal yang TUHAN Allah rahasiakan dari kita. Namun, untuk segala hal yang sudah Dia nyatakan, kita dan keturunan kita bertanggung jawab melakukannya. Itu berarti kita harus menaati segala hukum dan ketentuan dalam kitab ini.”
