Deuteronomy 32
1 “Listen to me, [all you who are in the] heavens, and [all you who are on the] earth, listen to what I say [MTY].
"Pasanglah telingamu, hai langit, aku mau berbicara, dan baiklah bumi mendengarkan ucapan mulutku.
2 I wish/desire that my teaching will fall on you like rain drops or be like dew on the ground, and be like a gentle rain on the young plants, like showers on the grass.
Mudah-mudahan pengajaranku menitik laksana hujan, perkataanku menetes laksana embun, laksana hujan renai ke atas tunas muda, dan laksana dirus hujan ke atas tumbuh-tumbuhan.
3 I will praise Yahweh [MTY]. And [all you people should] tell others that our God is very great.
Sebab nama TUHAN akan kuserukan: Berilah hormat kepada Allah kita,
4 He is like a rock [MET] [under which we are protected]; [everything] that he does is perfect and completely just/fair [DOU]. He always does what he says that he will do; he never does anything that is wrong.
Gunung Batu, yang pekerjaan-Nya sempurna, karena segala jalan-Nya adil, Allah yang setia, dengan tiada kecurangan, adil dan benar Dia.
5 “But [you Israeli people] have been very unfaithful to him; because of your sins, you no longer [deserve to] be his children. You are extremely wicked and deceitful [DOU].
Berlaku busuk terhadap Dia, mereka yang bukan lagi anak-anak-Nya, yang merupakan noda, suatu angkatan yang bengkok dan belat-belit.
6 You foolish and senseless [DOU] people, (is this the way that you should repay Yahweh [for all that he has done for you]?/this is certainly not the way that you should repay Yahweh [for all that he has done for you].) [RHQ] He is your father; he created you [RHQ]; he caused you to become a nation.
Demikianlah engkau mengadakan pembalasan terhadap TUHAN, hai bangsa yang bebal dan tidak bijaksana? Bukankah Ia Bapamu yang mencipta engkau, yang menjadikan dan menegakkan engkau?
7 “Think about [what happened] long ago; consider what happened to your ancestors. Ask your parents, and they will inform you; ask the older people, and they will tell you.
Ingatlah kepada zaman dahulu kala, perhatikanlah tahun-tahun keturunan yang lalu, tanyakanlah kepada ayahmu, maka ia memberitahukannya kepadamu, kepada para tua-tuamu, maka mereka mengatakannya kepadamu.
8 When God, who is greater than any other god, long ago divided the people into groups, he assigned to the nations their land. He determined where each people-group should live and (assigned to/chose for) each people-group a god/angel.
Ketika Sang Mahatinggi membagi-bagikan milik pusaka kepada bangsa-bangsa, ketika Ia memisah-misah anak-anak manusia, maka Ia menetapkan wilayah bangsa-bangsa menurut bilangan anak-anak Israel.
9 But Yahweh decided that we would be his people; he chose [us, the descendants of] Jacob, to belong to him.
Tetapi bagian TUHAN ialah umat-Nya, Yakub ialah milik yang ditetapkan bagi-Nya.
10 “He saw [our ancestors] when they were in a desert, wandering in a land (that was desolate/where no people lived). He protected them and took care of them, as every person takes good care of his own eyes. [SIM, IDM]
Didapati-Nya dia di suatu negeri, di padang gurun, di tengah-tengah ketandusan dan auman padang belantara. Dikelilingi-Nya dia dan diawasi-Nya, dijaga-Nya sebagai biji mata-Nya.
11 [Yahweh protected his people] just like an eagle encourages its babies [to fly] and flutters over them [MET], spreading its wings and catching them [if they start to fall].
Laksana rajawali menggoyangbangkitkan isi sarangnya, melayang-layang di atas anak-anaknya, mengembangkan sayapnya, menampung seekor, dan mendukungnya di atas kepaknya,
12 Yahweh was the only one who led them; no other foreign god helped him.
demikianlah TUHAN sendiri menuntun dia, dan tidak ada allah asing menyertai dia.
13 “[After they entered the land that Yahweh promised to give to them], Yahweh enabled them to rule the hilly areas; they ate the crops that grew in the fields. They found honey in the rocks, and their olive trees [MTY] grew [even] in stony ground.
Dibuat-Nya dia berkendaraan mengatasi bukit-bukit di bumi, dan memakan hasil dari ladang; dibuat-Nya dia mengisap madu dari bukit batu, dan minyak dari gunung batu yang keras,
14 The cows gave them plenty of curds/yogurt, the goats gave them plenty of milk, they had well-fed sheep and cattle, they had very good wheat, and they made delicious wine from their grapes.
dadih dari lembu sapi dan susu kambing domba, dengan lemak anak-anak domba; dan domba-domba jantan dari Basan dan kambing-kambing jantan, dengan gandum yang terbaik; juga darah buah anggur yang berbuih engkau minum.
15 “The Israeli people became rich and prosperous, but then they rebelled against God; they abandoned him, the one who created them, the one who powerfully saves them.
Lalu menjadi gemuklah Yesyurun, dan menendang ke belakang, --bertambah gemuk engkau, gendut dan tambun--dan ia meninggalkan Allah yang telah menjadikan dia, ia memandang rendah gunung batu keselamatannya.
16 So he abandoned them because they started to worship other/strange gods. Because of their worshiping disgusting idols, he became angry.
Mereka membangkitkan cemburu-Nya dengan allah asing, mereka menimbulkan sakit hati-Nya dengan dewa kekejian,
17 They offered sacrifices to gods who were [really] demons, gods that their ancestors had never known; they offered sacrifices to gods that they had recently found out about, gods whom your ancestors had never revered.
mereka mempersembahkan korban kepada roh-roh jahat yang bukan Allah, kepada allah yang tidak mereka kenal, allah baru yang belum lama timbul, yang kepadanya nenek moyangmu tidak gentar.
18 They forgot [the true] God, the one who protects them [MET], the one who created them and caused them to live.
Gunung batu yang memperanakkan engkau, telah kaulalaikan, dan telah kaulupakan Allah yang melahirkan engkau.
19 “When Yahweh saw that [they had abandoned him], he became angry, so he rejected [the Israeli people, who are like] his sons and daughters.
Ketika TUHAN melihat hal itu, maka Ia menolak mereka, karena Ia sakit hati oleh anak-anaknya lelaki dan perempuan.
20 He said, ‘They are very wicked/stubborn people, very unfaithful; so I will no longer help them, and then I will watch and see what happens to them.
Ia berfirman: Aku hendak menyembunyikan wajah-Ku terhadap mereka, dan melihat bagaimana kesudahan mereka, sebab mereka itu suatu angkatan yang bengkok, anak-anak yang tidak mempunyai kesetiaan.
21 They made me very angry because of their worshiping idols, which are not really gods; they have caused me to be [jealous [MET] because I want them to worship only me]. So now, in order to cause them to become jealous, I will send [to attack them an army of] a nation of worthless and foolish people.
Mereka membangkitkan cemburu-Ku dengan yang bukan Allah, mereka menimbulkan sakit hati-Ku dengan berhala mereka. Sebab itu Aku akan membangkitkan cemburu mereka dengan yang bukan umat, dan akan menyakiti hati mereka dengan bangsa yang bebal.
22 I will be very angry, and I will destroy them like a fire that will burn on the earth and all the way down to the place where dead people are [MET]; that fire will destroy the earth and everything that grows on it, and it will even burn what is down under the mountains. (Sheol h7585)
Sebab api telah dinyalakan oleh murka-Ku, dan bernyala-nyala sampai ke bagian dunia orang mati yang paling bawah; api itu memakan bumi dengan hasilnya, dan menghanguskan dasar gunung-gunung. (Sheol h7585)
23 I will cause them to experience many disasters; [they will feel as though] [MET] I am shooting all my arrows at them.
Aku akan menimbun malapetaka ke atas mereka, seluruh anak panah-Ku akan Kutembakkan kepada mereka.
24 They will die because of being hungry and because of having hot fevers and because of terrible diseases; I will send wild animals to attack [MTY] them, and poisonous snakes to bite [MTY] them.
Apabila mereka sudah lemas karena lapar dan merana oleh demam yang membara, dan oleh penyakit sampar, maka Aku akan melepaskan taring binatang buas kepada mereka, dengan racun binatang yang menjalar di dalam debu.
25 Outside [their houses, their enemies] will kill them [MTY] with swords, and in their homes, [their enemies will cause] them to be terrified. Their enemies will kill young men and young women, and they will kill infants and old people with gray hair.
Pedang di luar rumah dan kengerian di dalam kamar akan melenyapkan teruna maupun dara, anak menyusu serta orang ubanan.
26 I wanted to scatter the Israeli people to distant countries in order that no one would ever remember them.
Seharusnya Aku berfirman: Aku meniupkan mereka, melenyapkan ingatan kepada mereka dari antara manusia,
27 But [if I did that], their enemies would wrongly boast that they were the ones who had [gotten rid of my people]; they would say, “We [SYN] are the ones who defeated them; it was not Yahweh who has done all these things.”’
tetapi Aku kuatir disakiti hati-Ku oleh musuh, jangan-jangan lawan mereka salah mengerti, jangan-jangan mereka berkata: Tangan kami jaya, bukanlah TUHAN yang melakukan semuanya ini.
28 You Israelis are a nation of people who do not have any sense. None of you is wise.
Sebab mereka itu suatu bangsa yang tidak punya pertimbangan, dan tidak ada pengertian pada mereka.
29 If you were wise, you would understand [why you would be punished]; you would have realized what was going to happen to you.
Sekiranya mereka bijaksana, tentulah mereka mengerti hal ini, dan memperhatikan kesudahan mereka.
30 [You would have realized] why 1,000 [of your soldiers] would be defeated by only one [of the enemy soldiers], and why two of your enemies would chase away 10,000 [Israeli soldiers]. [You would realize that this would happen] only if God, the one who always defended you [MET], had allowed your enemies to defeat you, because he had abandoned you.
Bagaimana mungkin satu orang dapat mengejar seribu orang, dan dua orang dapat membuat lari sepuluh ribu orang, kalau tidak gunung batu mereka telah menjual mereka, dan TUHAN telah menyerahkan mereka!
31 Your enemies know that their gods are not powerful like Yahweh, our God, [so their gods could not have defeated us Israelis].
Sebab bukanlah seperti gunung batu kita gunung batu orang-orang itu; musuh kita boleh menjadi hakim!
32 Your enemies are like [MET] grapevines planted near [the ruins of] Sodom and Gomorrah [cities]; the grapes from those vines are bitter and poisonous;
Sesungguhnya, pohon anggur mereka berasal dari pohon anggur Sodom, dan dari kebun-kebun Gomora; buah anggur mereka adalah buah anggur yang beracun, pahit gugusan-gugusannya.
33 the wine [from those grapes] is like the poison of snakes [DOU].
Air anggur mereka adalah racun ular, dan bisa ular tedung yang keras ganas.
34 [“Yahweh says], ‘I know [RHQ] [what I have planned to do to the Israeli people and to their enemies], and those plans are so secure [that it as though he locked them up] [MET].
Bukankah hal itu tersimpan pada-Ku, termeterai dalam perbendaharaan-Ku?
35 I am the one who will get revenge and pay those enemies back for what they have done [to my people], at the right time for them to be punished [IDM]; they will soon experience disasters, and I will punish/destroy them quickly.’
Hak-Kulah dendam dan pembalasan, pada waktu kaki mereka goyang, sebab hari bencana bagi mereka telah dekat, akan segera datang apa yang telah disediakan bagi mereka.
36 “But Yahweh will see that you who are truly his people, who (are innocent/have not done things that are wrong), and he will be merciful to you. And he will see that you are helpless, and that there are very few of you, slaves or free people, who are still alive.
Sebab TUHAN akan memberi keadilan kepada umat-Nya, dan akan merasa sayang kepada hamba-hamba-Nya; apabila dilihat-Nya, bahwa kekuatan mereka sudah lenyap, dan baik hamba maupun orang merdeka sudah tiada.
37 Then Yahweh will ask his people, ‘Where are the gods that you thought would protect you [MET]?
Maka Ia akan berfirman: Di manakah allah mereka, --gunung batu tempat mereka berlindung--
38 You gave to those gods the best parts of the animals that you sacrificed, and you poured out wine for them to drink. So, they should begin to help you; they should be the ones who will protect you!
yang memakan lemak dari korban sembelihan mereka, meminum anggur dari korban curahan mereka? Biarlah mereka bangkit untuk menolong kamu, sehingga kamu mendapat perlindungan.
39 “But now you will realize that I, only I, am God; there is no other god who is [a real] god. I am the one who can kill people and who can cause people to live; I can wound people, and I can heal people, and there is no one who can prevent me from doing those things.
Lihatlah sekarang, bahwa Aku, Akulah Dia. Tidak ada Allah kecuali Aku. Akulah yang mematikan dan yang menghidupkan, Aku telah meremukkan, tetapi Akulah yang menyembuhkan, dan seorangpun tidak ada yang dapat melepaskan dari tangan-Ku.
40 I raise my hand toward heaven and solemnly declare that just as sure as I live forever,
Sesungguhnya, Aku mengangkat tangan-Ku ke langit, dan berfirman: Demi Aku yang hidup selama-lamanya,
41 that when I sharpen my sword, as I [SYN] prepare to punish people, I will get revenge on my enemies; I will pay back those who hate me.
apabila Aku mengasah pedang-Ku yang berkilat-kilat, dan tangan-Ku memegang penghukuman, maka Aku membalas dendam kepada lawan-Ku, dan mengadakan pembalasan kepada yang membenci Aku.
42 I will kill all [of my enemies] with a sword; it will be as though I had arrows that will be covered with their blood. I will kill [MTY] all those whom I capture and cut off their leaders’ heads.’
Aku akan memabukkan anak panah-Ku dengan darah, dan pedang-Ku akan memakan daging: darah orang-orang yang mati tertikam dan orang-orang yang tertawan, dari kepala-kepala musuh yang berambut panjang.
43 “You people of all nations, you as well as his people should praise Yahweh, because Yahweh gets revenge on those who kill the people who serve him; and he cleanses his people’s land which has become defiled because of their sins.”
Bersorak-sorailah, hai bangsa-bangsa karena umat-Nya, sebab Ia membalaskan darah hamba-hamba-Nya, Ia membalas dendam kepada lawan-Nya, dan mengadakan pendamaian bagi tanah umat-Nya."
44 Joshua and Moses/I recited the words of that song while the Israeli people were listening.
Lalu datanglah Musa bersama-sama dengan Yosua bin Nun dan menyampaikan ke telinga bangsa itu segala perkataan nyanyian tadi.
45 When they/we finished reciting to the Israeli people the words of this song,
Setelah Musa selesai menyampaikan segala perkataan itu kepada seluruh orang Israel,
46 Moses/I said, “Never forget all these commands that I have been giving you today. Teach these laws to your children, in order that they will faithfully obey all of them.
berkatalah ia kepada mereka: "Perhatikanlah segala perkataan yang kuperingatkan kepadamu pada hari ini, supaya kamu memerintahkannya kepada anak-anakmu untuk melakukan dengan setia segala perkataan hukum Taurat ini.
47 These instructions are very important [LIT]. If [you obey] them, you will live a long time in the land that you are about to cross the Jordan [River] to occupy.”
Sebab perkataan ini bukanlah perkataan hampa bagimu, tetapi itulah hidupmu, dan dengan perkataan ini akan lanjut umurmu di tanah, ke mana kamu pergi, menyeberangi sungai Yordan untuk mendudukinya."
48 On that same day, Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Pada hari itulah juga TUHAN berfirman kepada Musa:
49 “Go to the Abarim Mountain range [here] in the Moab region, across from Jericho. Climb Nebo Mountain, and look [toward the west] to see Canaan land, the land that I am about to give to the Israeli people.
"Naiklah ke atas pegunungan Abarim, ke atas gunung Nebo, yang di tanah Moab, di tentangan Yerikho, dan pandanglah tanah Kanaan yang Kuberikan kepada orang Israel menjadi miliknya,
50 You will die on that mountain [EUP, DOU], like your [older] brother Aaron died on Hor Mountain.
kemudian engkau akan mati di atas gunung yang akan kaunaiki itu, supaya engkau dikumpulkan kepada kaum leluhurmu, sama seperti Harun, kakakmu, sudah meninggal di gunung Hor dan dikumpulkan kepada kaum leluhurnya--
51 You will die because both of you disobeyed me in the presence of the Israeli people, when you all were at Meribah Springs near Kadesh [town] in the Zin Desert. You did not honor and respect me in the presence of the Israeli people in the way that I deserve because I am God.
oleh sebab kamu telah berubah setia terhadap Aku di tengah-tengah orang Israel, dekat mata air Meriba di Kadesh di padang gurun Zin, dan oleh sebab kamu tidak menghormati kekudusan-Ku di tengah-tengah orang Israel.
52 [When you are on that mountain where I told you to go], you will see in the distance in front of you the land that I am about to give to the Israeli people, but you will not enter it.”
Engkau boleh melihat negeri itu terbentang di depanmu, tetapi tidak boleh masuk ke sana, ke negeri yang Kuberikan kepada orang Israel."
