Deuteronomy 1
1 In this book is written what Moses/I said to the Israeli people. He/I told them these things when they/we were in the desert, on the east side of the Jordan [River]. They/We had set up our tents near [a place named] Suph, between Paran [town on the one side of the river] and Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth, and Dizahab [towns on the other side of the river].
Inilah perkataan-perkataan yang diucapkan Musa kepada seluruh orang Israel di seberang sungai Yordan, di padang gurun, di Araba-Yordan, di tentangan Suf, antara Paran dengan Tofel, Laban, Hazerot dan Di-Zahab.
2 To walk from Sinai [Mountain] to the Kadesh-Barnea [oasis], people usually travel for only eleven days, going by way of the hilly area named Edom.
Sebelas hari perjalanan jauhnya dari Horeb sampai Kadesh-Barnea, melalui jalan pegunungan Seir.
3 Forty years after (the Israelis/we) left Egypt, in the middle of January, Moses/I told the Israeli people everything that Yahweh had commanded him/me to tell them.
Pada tanggal satu bulan sebelas tahun keempat puluh berbicaralah Musa kepada orang Israel sesuai dengan segala yang diperintahkan TUHAN kepadanya demi mereka,
4 This was after they/we had defeated Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group, who lived in Heshbon [city], and Og, the king of the Bashan [region] who lived in Ashtaroth and Edrei [towns].
setelah ia memukul kalah Sihon, raja orang Amori, yang diam di Hesybon, dan Og, raja negeri Basan, yang diam di Asytarot, dekat Edrei.
5 Moses/I told them these things while the people were in the Moab region, on the east side of the Jordan [River]. He/I (explained to them/enabled them to understand) God’s laws. This is what he/I said to them:
Di seberang sungai Yordan, di tanah Moab, mulailah Musa menguraikan hukum Taurat ini, katanya:
6 “Yahweh our God said to us when we were at Sinai [Mountain], ‘You have stayed for a very long time at [the bottom of] this mountain.
"TUHAN, Allah kita, telah berfirman kepada kita di Horeb, demikian: Telah cukup lama kamu tinggal di gunung ini.
7 So now continue traveling. Go to the hilly area where the Amor people-group lives and to the nearby areas—to the Jordan [River] Valley, to the hilly region, to the western (foothills/hills at the bottom of the mountains), to the desert area to the south, to the [Mediterranean] Seacoast, to all of Canaan land, to the Lebanon [Mountains], and [northeast] to the great Euphrates River.
Majulah, berangkatlah, pergilah ke pegunungan orang Amori dan kepada semua tetangga mereka di Araba-Yordan, di Pegunungan, di Daerah Bukit, di Tanah Negeb dan di tepi pantai laut, yakni negeri orang Kanaan, dan ke gunung Libanon sampai Efrat, sungai besar itu.
8 Note that I will give that land to you. I, Yahweh, promised to your ancestors Abraham and Isaac and Jacob that I would give it to them and to their descendants. So now go and occupy it.’”
Ketahuilah, Aku telah menyerahkan negeri itu kepadamu; masukilah, dudukilah negeri yang dijanjikan TUHAN dengan sumpah kepada nenek moyangmu, yakni Abraham, Ishak dan Yakub, untuk memberikannya kepada mereka dan kepada keturunannya."
9 Moses/I also said to the people, “When [we were still at Sinai Mountain], I told your ancestors ‘It is a very big burden/responsibility for me to govern all of you. So I cannot do it by myself.
"Pada waktu itu aku berkata kepadamu, demikian: Seorang diri aku tidak dapat memikul tanggung jawab atas kamu.
10 Yahweh our God has caused us Israelis to now become as numerous as the stars in the sky.
TUHAN, Allahmu, telah membuat kamu banyak dan sesungguhnya, sekarang kamu sudah seperti bintang-bintang di langit banyaknya.
11 And I hope/desire that Yahweh, the God whom our ancestors [worshiped], will cause us to become 1,000 times as numerous as we are now and that he will bless us just like he promised to do.
TUHAN, Allah nenek moyangmu, kiranya menambahi kamu seribu kali lagi dari jumlahmu sekarang dan memberkati kamu seperti yang dijanjikan-Nya kepadamu.
12 But I certainly cannot [RHQ] (solve/deal with) all of your complaints/problems.
Tetapi bagaimana seorang diri aku dapat memikul tanggung jawab atas kesusahanmu, atas bebanmu dan perkaramu?
13 So choose some men from your tribes who are wise and who have good sense and who are respected. Then I will appoint them to be your leaders.’
Kemukakanlah dari suku-sukumu orang-orang yang bijaksana, berakal budi dan berpengalaman, maka aku akan mengangkat mereka menjadi kepala atas kamu.
14 Your ancestors replied, ‘What you have suggested is good for us to do.’
Lalu kamu menjawab aku: Memang baik apa yang kauanjurkan untuk dilakukan itu.
15 So I took the wise and respected men [that your ancestors chose] from your tribes, and I appointed them to be your leaders. I appointed some to (rule/have authority) over 1,000 people, some to have authority over 100 people, some to have authority over 50 people, and some to have authority over ten people. I also appointed other officers from throughout your tribes.
Kemudian aku mengambil kepala-kepala sukumu, yakni orang-orang yang bijaksana dan berpengalaman, lalu aku mengangkat mereka menjadi pemimpin atas kamu, yakni sebagai kepala pasukan seribu, kepala pasukan seratus, kepala pasukan lima puluh dan kepala pasukan sepuluh dan sebagai pengatur pasukan bagi suku-sukumu.
16 I instructed/told your leaders, ‘Listen to the disputes that occur among your people. Judge each dispute, including disputes between close relatives and quarrels between your people and people from other countries who live among you.
Dan pada waktu itu aku memerintahkan kepada para hakimmu, demikian: Berilah perhatian kepada perkara-perkara di antara saudara-saudaramu dan berilah keputusan yang adil di dalam perkara-perkara antara seseorang dengan saudaranya atau dengan orang asing yang ada padanya.
17 You must (be impartial/not favor one person more than another); you must treat poor people and important people equally. You must not worry about what anyone will think [about how you decide matters], because you will decide matters as God [wants you to]. If any quarrel/dispute is very difficult and you are unable to decide it, bring it to me, and I will decide.’
Dalam mengadili jangan pandang bulu. Baik perkara orang kecil maupun perkara orang besar harus kamu dengarkan. Jangan gentar terhadap siapapun, sebab pengadilan adalah kepunyaan Allah. Tetapi perkara yang terlalu sukar bagimu, harus kamu hadapkan kepadaku, supaya aku mendengarnya.
18 At that time I also told you other things that you should do.”
Demikianlah aku pada waktu itu memerintahkan kepadamu segala hal yang harus kamu lakukan."
19 “Then, just like Yahweh our God commanded us, we left Sinai [Mountain] and went through that huge desert that was very (dangerous/difficult to travel through), on the road to the hilly area where the Amor people-group live. We arrived at Kadesh-Barnea.
"Kemudian kita berangkat dari Horeb dan berjalan melalui segenap padang gurun yang besar dan dahsyat yang telah kamu lihat itu, ke arah pegunungan orang Amori, seperti yang diperintahkan kepada kita oleh TUHAN, Allah kita; lalu kita sampai ke Kadesh-Barnea.
20 I said to your ancestors, ‘We have now come to the hilly area where the Amor people-group live. This is part of the area that Yahweh our God, the one whom our ancestors [worshiped], is giving to us.
Ketika itu aku berkata kepadamu: Kamu sudah sampai ke pegunungan orang Amori, yang diberikan kepada kita oleh TUHAN, Allah kita.
21 Note that Yahweh our God is giving this land to us. So go and occupy it as he commanded. Do not be (at all/even a little bit) afraid.’
Ketahuilah, TUHAN, Allahmu, telah menyerahkan negeri itu kepadamu. Majulah, dudukilah, seperti yang difirmankan kepadamu oleh TUHAN, Allah nenek moyangmu. Janganlah takut dan janganlah patah hati.
22 But all of your ancestors came to me and said, ‘Before we go, we should [first] send some men there to explore the land, in order that they can return and tell us which will be the best road to go there and what kind of towns are there.’
Lalu kamu sekalian mendekati aku dan berkata: Marilah kita menyuruh beberapa orang mendahului kita untuk menyelidiki negeri itu bagi kita dan membawa kabar kepada kita tentang jalan yang akan kita lalui, dan tentang kota-kota yang akan kita datangi.
23 I thought that it would be good to do that, so I chose twelve men, one man from each tribe.
Hal itu kupandang baik. Jadi aku memilih dari padamu dua belas orang, dari tiap-tiap suku seorang.
24 They went up into the hilly area as far as Eshcol Valley, and they explored all that area.
Mereka pergi dan berjalan ke arah pegunungan, lalu sampai ke lembah Eskol, kemudian menyelidiki negeri itu.
25 They picked some of the fruit that they found there and brought it to us. They reported that the land that Yahweh our God was giving to us is very good/fertile.”
Maka mereka mengambil buah-buahan negeri itu dan membawanya kepada kita. Pula mereka membawa kabar kepada kita, demikian: Negeri yang diberikan TUHAN, Allah kita, kepada kita itu baik.
26 “But your ancestors refused to go [and conquer that land]. They rebelled against what Yahweh our God had commanded them to do, and they would not go into that land.
Tetapi kamu tidak mau berjalan ke sana, kamu menentang titah TUHAN, Allahmu.
27 Your ancestors [stayed] in their tents and complained saying ‘Yahweh hates us. So he has brought us here from Egypt just to allow the Amor people-group to destroy us.
Kamu menggerutu di dalam kemahmu serta berkata: Karena TUHAN membenci kita, maka Ia membawa kita keluar dari tanah Mesir untuk menyerahkan kita ke dalam tangan orang Amori, supaya dimusnahkan.
28 (Why should we go there?/We do not want to go there.) [RHQ] The men whom we sent there have caused us to become very discouraged/afraid. They have told us that the people there are much stronger and taller than we are and that there are extremely high [HYP] walls around their towns. Also they reported that they saw [giants there that are] descendants of Anak.’
Ke manakah pula kita maju? Saudara-saudara kita telah membuat hati kita tawar dengan mengatakan: Orang-orang itu lebih besar dan lebih tinggi dari pada kita, kota-kota di sana besar dan kubu-kubunya sampai ke langit, lagipula kami melihat orang-orang Enak di sana.
29 Then I said to your ancestors, ‘Do not be afraid (at all/even a little bit) [DOU] of those people!
Ketika itu aku berkata kepadamu: Janganlah gemetar, janganlah takut kepada mereka;
30 Yahweh our God will go ahead of you, and he will fight for you, just like you saw him do for you in Egypt
TUHAN, Allahmu, yang berjalan di depanmu, Dialah yang akan berperang untukmu sama seperti yang dilakukan-Nya bagimu di Mesir, di depan matamu,
31 and in the desert. You saw how he brought you safely here, like a man would carry his son. [SIM]’
dan di padang gurun, di mana engkau melihat bahwa TUHAN, Allahmu, mendukung engkau, seperti seseorang mendukung anaknya, sepanjang jalan yang kamu tempuh, sampai kamu tiba di tempat ini.
32 [I reminded them that] he always went ahead of them while they traveled [in the desert]. He directed them by [a pillar of] fire during the night and a [pillar of] cloud during the day. He showed them places to set up their tents. But in spite of what I said, your ancestors would not trust Yahweh our God.
Tetapi walaupun demikian, kamu tidak percaya kepada TUHAN, Allahmu,
yang berjalan di depanmu di perjalanan untuk mencari tempat bagimu, di mana kamu dapat berkemah: dengan api pada waktu malam dan dengan awan pada waktu siang, untuk memperlihatkan kepadamu jalan yang harus kamu tempuh."
34 Yahweh heard what they said, and he became angry. He solemnly declared,
"Ketika TUHAN mendengar gerutumu itu, Ia menjadi murka dan bersumpah:
35 ‘Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, will enter the land. He has obeyed me completely. So I will give to him and to his descendants [some of] the land that he explored. He is the only one of all you people who will enter that land. None of these evil people will ever see that good land which I solemnly promised to give to your ancestors.’
Tidak seorangpun dari orang-orang ini, angkatan yang jahat ini, akan melihat negeri yang baik, yang dengan sumpah Kujanjikan untuk memberikannya kepada nenek moyangmu,
kecuali Kaleb bin Yefune. Dialah yang akan melihat negeri itu dan kepadanya dan kepada anak-anaknya akan Kuberikan negeri yang diinjaknya itu, karena dengan sepenuh hati ia mengikuti TUHAN.
37 But because of [what] your ancestors [did], Yahweh was also angry with me. He said to me, ‘You also will not enter that land.
Juga kepadaku TUHAN murka oleh karena kamu, dan Ia berfirman: Juga engkau tidak akan masuk ke sana.
38 Joshua, the son of Nun, who is your helper, will enter it. Encourage him, because he is the one who will enable you Israeli people to occupy that land.’
Yosua bin Nun, pelayanmu, dialah yang akan masuk ke sana. Berilah kepadanya semangat, sebab dialah yang akan memimpin orang Israel sampai mereka memiliki negeri itu.
39 Then Yahweh said to all of us, ‘You said that your children would be captured by your enemies. Because they are very young, they do not yet know what is good and what is evil. But they are the ones to whom I will give that land, and they will enter it and occupy it.
Dan anak-anakmu yang kecil, yang kamu katakan akan menjadi rampasan, dan anak-anakmu yang sekarang ini yang belum mengetahui tentang yang baik dan yang jahat, merekalah yang akan masuk ke sana dan kepada merekalah Aku akan memberikannya, dan merekalah yang akan memilikinya.
40 But as for you, turn around and go back into the desert, toward the (Red Sea/Gulf of Aqaba).’
Tetapi kamu ini, baliklah, berangkatlah ke padang gurun, ke arah Laut Teberau."
41 Then your ancestors replied, ‘We have sinned; we have disobeyed Yahweh. So we will go and attack [the people who live in] that land, just like Yahweh our God commanded us to do.’ And each of their men put on his weapons, and they thought that it would be easy to invade the hilly region.
"Lalu kamu menjawab, katamu kepadaku: Kami berbuat dosa kepada TUHAN. Kami mau maju berperang, menurut segala yang diperintahkan kepada kami oleh TUHAN, Allah kita. Dan setiap orang dari padamu menyandang senjata perangnya, sebab kamu menganggap mudah untuk berjalan maju ke arah pegunungan.
42 But Yahweh said to me, ‘Tell them, “Do not go up there and attack those people, because I will not go with you. If you go, your enemies will defeat you.”’
Tetapi TUHAN berfirman kepadaku: Katakanlah kepada mereka: Janganlah kamu maju dan janganlah kamu berperang, sebab Aku tidak ada di tengah-tengahmu, nanti kamu terpukul kalah oleh musuhmu.
43 So I told that to your ancestors, but they would not heed what I said. They [again] rebelled against what Yahweh commanded them to do. Their soldiers proudly/arrogantly marched up into that hilly region.
Dan aku berbicara kepadamu tetapi kamu tidak mendengarkan, kamu menentang titah TUHAN; kamu berlaku terlalu berani dan maju ke arah pegunungan.
44 Then the men of the Amor people-group who lived in that region came out [of their towns] and attacked those soldiers. They pursued your ancestors’ soldiers like [a swarm of] bees pursues people, and they pursued them [south] from the Edom area and defeated them at Hormah [city].
Kemudian orang Amori yang diam di pegunungan itu keluar menyerbu kamu, dan mereka mengejar kamu seperti lebah dan mengalahkan kamu dari Seir sampai Horma.
45 So your ancestors went back [to Kadesh-Barnea] and cried out to request Yahweh [to help them], but he did not heed them. He did not pay any attention to them [DOU].
Lalu kamu pulang dan menangis di hadapan TUHAN; tetapi TUHAN tidak mendengarkan tangisanmu dan tidak memberi telinga kepada suaramu.
46 So we stayed there at Kadesh-Barnea for a long time.”
Demikianlah kamu lama tinggal di Kadesh, yakni sepanjang waktu kamu tinggal di sana."
