The People Confess Their Sin
1Pada hari yang kedua puluh empat bulan itu berkumpullah orang Israel dan berpuasa dengan mengenakan kain kabung dan dengan tanah di kepala. 2Keturunan orang Israel memisahkan diri dari semua orang asing, lalu berdiri di tempatnya dan mengaku dosa mereka dan kesalahan nenek moyang mereka. 3Sementara mereka berdiri di tempat, dibacakanlah bagian-bagian dari pada kitab Taurat TUHAN, Allah mereka, selama seperempat hari, sedang seperempat hari lagi mereka mengucapkan pengakuan dan sujud menyembah kepada TUHAN, Allah mereka. 4Di atas tangga tempat orang-orang Lewi berdirilah Yesua, Bani, Kadmiel, Sebanya, Buni, Serebya, Bani dan Kenani. Dengan suara yang nyaring mereka berseru kepada TUHAN, Allah mereka.
1Now on the twenty-fourth day of this month the sons of Israel assembled with fasting, in sackcloth and with dirt upon them. 2The descendants of Israel separated themselves from all foreigners, and they stood and confessed their sins and the wrongdoings of their fathers. 3While they stood in their place, they read from the Book of the Law of the LORD their God for a fourth of the day; and for another fourth they confessed and worshiped the LORD their God. 4Now on the Levites’ platform stood Jeshua, Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, and Chenani, and they cried out with a loud voice to the LORD their God.
5Dan berkatalah Yesua, Kadmiel, Bani, Hasabneya, Serebya, Hodia, Sebanya dan Petahya, orang-orang Lewi itu: "Bangunlah, pujilah TUHAN Allahmu dari selama-lamanya sampai selama-lamanya ! Terpujilah nama-Mu yang mulia, yang ditinggikan mengatasi segala puji dan hormat !" 6"Hanya Engkau adalah TUHAN ! Engkau telah menjadikan langit, ya langit segala langit dengan segala bala tentaranya, dan bumi dengan segala yang ada di atasnya, dan laut dengan segala yang ada di dalamnya. Engkau memberi hidup kepada semuanya itu dan bala tentara langit sujud menyembah kepada-Mu. 7Engkaulah TUHAN, Allah yang telah memilih Abram dan membawanya keluar dari Ur-Kasdim dan memberikan kepadanya nama Abraham. 8Engkau dapati bahwa hatinya setia terhadap-Mu dan Engkau mengikat perjanjian dengan dia untuk memberikan tanah orang Kanaan, tanah orang Het, tanah orang Amori, tanah orang Feris, tanah orang Yebus dan tanah orang Girgasi kepada keturunannya. Dan Engkau telah menepati janji-Mu, karena Engkau benar.
5Then the Levites, Jeshua, Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah said, “Arise, bless the LORD your God forever and ever!
May Your glorious name be blessed
And exalted above all blessing and praise! 6“You alone are the LORD.
You have made the heavens,
The heaven of heavens with all their lights,
The earth and everything that is on it,
The seas and everything that is in them.
You give life to all of them,
And the heavenly lights bow down before You. 7“You are the LORD God,
Who chose Abram
And brought him out from Ur of the Chaldees,
And gave him the name Abraham. 8“You found his heart faithful before You,
And made a covenant with him
To give him the land of the Canaanite,
Of the Hittite and the Amorite,
Of the Perizzite, the Jebusite, and the Girgashite—
To give it to his descendants.
And You have fulfilled Your promise,
Because You are righteous.
May Your glorious name be blessed
And exalted above all blessing and praise! 6“You alone are the LORD.
You have made the heavens,
The heaven of heavens with all their lights,
The earth and everything that is on it,
The seas and everything that is in them.
You give life to all of them,
And the heavenly lights bow down before You. 7“You are the LORD God,
Who chose Abram
And brought him out from Ur of the Chaldees,
And gave him the name Abraham. 8“You found his heart faithful before You,

To give him the land of the Canaanite,
Of the Hittite and the Amorite,
Of the Perizzite, the Jebusite, and the Girgashite—
To give it to his descendants.
And You have fulfilled Your promise,
Because You are righteous.
9Engkau melihat sengsara nenek moyang kami di Mesir dan mendengar teriakan mereka di tepi Laut Teberau. 10Engkau telah memperlihatkan tanda-tanda dan mujizat-mujizat di depan Firaun dan semua pegawainya serta seluruh rakyat negerinya, karena Engkau mengetahui mereka bertindak angkuh terhadap nenek moyang kami. Dengan demikian Engkau telah memasyhurkan nama-Mu sebagaimana nyata hari ini. 11Di hadapan mereka Engkau membelah laut, sehingga mereka dapat menyeberang melalui tempat yang kering di tengah-tengah laut. Tetapi pengejar-pengejar mereka telah Kaucampakkan ke air yang dalam, seperti batu ke air yang dahsyat. 12Dengan tiang awan Engkau memimpin mereka pada siang hari dan dengan tiang api pada malam hari untuk menerangi jalan yang mereka lalui. 13Engkau telah turun ke atas gunung Sinai dan berbicara dengan mereka dari langit dan memberikan mereka peraturan-peraturan yang adil, hukum-hukum yang benar serta ketetapan-ketetapan dan perintah-perintah yang baik. 14Juga Kauberitahukan kepada mereka sabat-Mu yang kudus dan memberikan kepada mereka perintah-perintah, ketetapan-ketetapan dan hukum-Mu dengan perantaraan Musa, hamba-Mu. 15Telah Kauberikan kepada mereka roti dari langit untuk menghilangkan lapar dan air Kaukeluarkan bagi mereka dari gunung batu untuk melepaskan dahaga. Pula Engkau menyuruh mereka memasuki dan menduduki negeri yang dengan mengangkat sumpah telah Kaujanjikan memberikannya kepada mereka.
9“You saw the affliction of our fathers in Egypt,
And heard their cry by the Red Sea. 10“Then You performed signs and wonders against Pharaoh,
Against all his servants and all the people of his land;
For You knew that they acted arrogantly toward them,
And You made a name for Yourself as it is this day. 11“You divided the sea before them,
So they passed through the midst of the sea on dry ground;
And You hurled their pursuers into the depths,
Like a stone into raging waters. 12“And with a pillar of cloud You led them by day,
And with a pillar of fire by night
To light for them the way
In which they were to go. 13“Then You came down on Mount Sinai,
And spoke with them from heaven;
You gave them just ordinances and true laws,
Good statutes and commandments. 14“So You made known to them Your holy Sabbath,
And gave them commandments, statutes, and law,
Through Your servant Moses. 15“You provided bread from heaven for them for their hunger,
You brought out water from a rock for them for their thirst,
And You told them to enter in order to take possession of
The land which You swore to give them.
And heard their cry by the Red Sea. 10“Then You performed signs and wonders against Pharaoh,
Against all his servants and all the people of his land;

16Tetapi mereka, nenek moyang kami itu, bertindak angkuh dan bersitegang leher dan tidak patuh kepada perintah-perintah-Mu. 17Mereka menolak untuk patuh dan tidak mengingat perbuatan-perbuatan yang ajaib yang telah Kaubuat di antara mereka. Mereka bersitegang leher malah berkeras kepala untuk kembali ke perbudakan di Mesir. Tetapi Engkaulah Allah yang sudi mengampuni, yang pengasih dan penyayang, yang panjang sabar dan berlimpah kasih setia-Nya. Engkau tidak meninggalkan mereka. 18Bahkan, ketika mereka membuat anak lembu tuangan dan berkata: 'Inilah Allahmu yang menuntun engkau keluar dari Mesir!', dan berbuat nista yang besar, 19Engkau tidak meninggalkan mereka di padang gurun karena kasih sayang-Mu yang besar. Tiang awan tidak berpindah dari atas mereka pada siang hari untuk memimpin mereka pada perjalanan, begitu juga tiang api pada malam hari untuk menerangi jalan yang mereka lalui. 20Dan Engkau memberikan kepada mereka Roh-Mu yang baik untuk mengajar mereka. Juga manna-Mu tidak Kautahan dari mulut mereka dan Engkau memberikan air kepada mereka untuk melepaskan dahaga. 21Empat puluh tahun lamanya Engkau memberikan mereka makan di padang gurun. Mereka tidak berkekurangan, pakaian mereka tidak rusak, dan kaki mereka tidak bengkak. 22Engkau menyerahkan kepada mereka kerajaan-kerajaan dan bangsa-bangsa dan membagikan itu kepada mereka sebagai daerah perbatasan, sebab mereka duduki tanah dari Sihon, raja negeri Hesbon dan tanah dari Og, raja negeri Basan. 23Engkau membuat anak-anak mereka menjadi banyak seperti bintang-bintang di langit dan membawa mereka ke tanah yang Kausuruh kepada nenek moyang mereka untuk dimasuki dan diduduki. 24Lalu anak-anak itu memasuki dan menduduki tanah itu dan Engkau menundukkan di hadapan mereka penduduk tanah itu, yakni orang-orang Kanaan, dan menyerahkan orang-orang itu, baik raja-raja mereka, maupun bangsa-bangsa tanah itu, ke tangan mereka, supaya orang-orang itu diperlakukan sekehendak hati mereka. 25Mereka merebut kota-kota yang berkubu dan tanah yang subur. Mereka merampas rumah-rumah yang penuh berisi berbagai-bagai barang baik, tempat-tempat air pahatan, kebun-kebun anggur dan kebun-kebun zaitun dan pohon-pohon buah-buahan dalam jumlah yang sangat banyak. Mereka makan dan menjadi kenyang dan gemuk. Mereka hidup mewah karena kebaikan-Mu yang besar.
16“But they, our fathers, acted arrogantly;
They became stubborn and would not listen to Your commandments. 17“They refused to listen,
And did not remember Your wondrous deeds which You performed among them;
So they became stubborn and appointed a leader to return to their slavery in Egypt.
But You are a God of forgiveness,
Gracious and compassionate,
Slow to anger and abounding in mercy;
And You did not abandon them. 18“Even when they made for themselves
A calf of cast metal
And said, ‘This is your god
Who brought you up from Egypt,’
And committed great blasphemies, 19You, in Your great compassion,
Did not abandon them in the wilderness;
The pillar of cloud did not leave them by day,
To guide them on their way,
Nor the pillar of fire by night, to light for them the way in which they were to go. 20“Instead, You gave Your good Spirit to instruct them,
You did not withhold Your manna from their mouth,
And You gave them water for their thirst. 21“Indeed, for forty years You provided for them in the wilderness and they were not lacking;
Their clothes did not wear out, nor did their feet swell up. 22“You also gave them kingdoms and peoples,
And allotted them to them as a boundary.
They took possession of the land of Sihon the king of Heshbon
And the land of Og the king of Bashan. 23“You made their sons as numerous as the stars of heaven,
And You brought them into the land
Which You had told their fathers to enter and possess. 24“So their sons entered and took possession of the land.
And You subdued before them the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites,
And You handed them over to them, with their kings and the peoples of the land,
To do with them as they desired. 25“They captured fortified cities and a fertile land.
They took possession of houses full of every good thing,
Carved out cisterns, vineyards, olive groves,
Fruit trees in abundance.
So they ate, were filled and put on fat,
And lived luxuriously in Your great goodness.
They became stubborn and would not listen to Your commandments. 17“They refused to listen,

26Tetapi mereka mendurhaka dan memberontak terhadap-Mu. Mereka membelakangi hukum-Mu dan membunuh nabi-nabi-Mu yang memperingatkan mereka dengan maksud membuat mereka berbalik kepada-Mu. Mereka berbuat nista yang besar. 27Lalu Engkau menyerahkan mereka ke tangan lawan-lawan mereka, yang menyesakkan mereka. Dan pada waktu kesusahan mereka berteriak kepada-Mu, lalu Engkau mendengar dari langit dan karena kasih sayang-Mu yang besar Kauberikan kepada mereka orang-orang yang menyelamatkan mereka dari tangan lawan mereka. 28Tetapi begitu mereka mendapat keamanan, kembali mereka berbuat jahat di hadapan-Mu. Dan Engkau menyerahkan mereka ke tangan musuh-musuh mereka yang menguasai mereka. Kembali mereka berteriak kepada-Mu, dan Engkau mendengar dari langit, lalu menolong mereka berulang kali, karena kasih sayang-Mu. 29Engkau memperingatkan mereka dengan maksud membuat mereka berbalik kepada hukum-Mu. Tetapi mereka bertindak angkuh, mereka tidak patuh kepada perintah-perintah-Mu dan mereka berdosa terhadap peraturan-peraturan-Mu, yang justru memberi hidup kepada orang yang melakukannya. Mereka melintangkan bahu untuk melawan, mereka bersitegang leher dan tidak mau dengar. 30Namun bertahun-tahun lamanya Engkau melanjutkan sabar-Mu terhadap mereka. Dengan Roh-Mu Engkau memperingatkan mereka, yakni dengan perantaraan para nabi-Mu, tetapi mereka tidak menghiraukannya, sehingga Engkau menyerahkan mereka ke tangan bangsa-bangsa segala negeri. 31Tetapi karena kasih sayang-Mu yang besar Engkau tidak membinasakan mereka sama sekali dan tidak meninggalkan mereka, karena Engkaulah Allah yang pengasih dan penyayang.
26“But they became rebellious and revolted against You,
And threw Your Law behind their backs
And killed Your prophets who had admonished them
In order to bring them back to You,
And they committed great blasphemies. 27“Therefore You handed them over to their enemies who oppressed them,
But when they cried out to You in the time of their distress,
You heard from heaven, and according to Your great compassion
You gave them people who saved them from the hand of their enemies. 28“But as soon as they had rest, they did evil again before You;
Therefore You abandoned them to the hand of their enemies, so that they ruled over them.
When they cried out again to You, You heard from heaven,
And many times You rescued them according to Your compassion, 29And admonished them in order to turn them back to Your Law.
Yet they acted arrogantly and did not listen to Your commandments but sinned against Your ordinances,
Which, if a person follows them, then he will live by them.
And they turned a stubborn shoulder and stiffened their neck, and would not listen. 30“However, You remained patient with them for many years,
And admonished them by Your Spirit through Your prophets,
Yet they would not listen.
Therefore You handed them over to the peoples of the lands. 31“Nevertheless, in Your great compassion You did not make an end of them or abandon them,
For You are a gracious and compassionate God.

For You are a gracious and compassionate God.
32Sekarang, ya Allah kami, Allah yang maha besar, kuat dan dahsyat, yang berpegang pada perjanjian dan kasih setia-Nya, janganlah Kaupandang remeh segala kesusahan yang telah dialami oleh kami, oleh raja-raja kami, pemimpin-pemimpin kami, imam-imam kami, nabi-nabi kami dan nenek moyang kami, ya oleh seluruh umat-Mu, sejak zaman raja-raja Asyur sampai hari ini. 33Tetapi Engkaulah yang benar dalam segala hal yang menimpa kami, karena Engkau berlaku setia dan kamilah berbuat fasik. 34Juga raja-raja kami, pemimpin-pemimpin kami, imam-imam kami, dan nenek moyang kami tidak melakukan hukum-Mu. Mereka tidak memperhatikan perintah-perintah-Mu dan peringatan-peringatan-Mu yang Kauberikan kepada mereka. 35Dalam kedudukan sebagai raja mereka tidak mau beribadah kepada-Mu, walaupun Engkau telah mengaruniakan kepada mereka banyak kebaikan dan telah menyediakan bagi mereka tanah yang luas dan subur. Mereka tidak berbalik dari perbuatan-perbuatan mereka yang jahat. 36Lihatlah, sekarang ini kami adalah budak. Ya, di tanah yang Kauberikan kepada nenek moyang kami untuk mengecap hasilnya dan segala kekayaannya kami ini adalah budak. 37Tanah itu menghasilkan banyak bagi raja-raja yang telah Kautetapkan atas kami karena dosa-dosa kami. Mereka itu memerintah sekehendak hati atas diri kami dan ternak kami, sehingga kami dalam kesesakan besar."
32“Now then, our God, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God, who keeps His covenant and faithfulness,
Do not let all the hardship seem insignificant before You,
Which has happened to us, our kings, our leaders, our priests, our prophets, our fathers, and to all Your people,
From the days of the kings of Assyria to this day. 33“However, You are righteous in everything that has happened to us;
For You have dealt faithfully, but we have acted wickedly. 34“For our kings, our leaders, our priests, and our fathers have not kept Your Law
Or paid attention to Your commandments and Your admonitions with which You have admonished them. 35“But they, in their own kingdom,
With Your great goodness which You gave them,
With the broad and rich land which You placed before them,
Did not serve You or turn from their evil deeds. 36“Behold, we are slaves today,
And as for the land which You gave to our fathers to eat its fruit and its bounty,
Behold, we are slaves on it. 37“And its abundant produce is for the kings
Whom You have set over us because of our sins;
They also rule over our bodies
And over our cattle as they please,
So we are in great distress.
