Exodus 6

1 But the LORD said to Moses, “Now you will see what I will do to Pharaoh, for because of My mighty hand he will let the people go; because of My strong hand he will drive them out of his land.”

Lalu TUHAN berkata kepada Musa, “Sekarang kamu akan melihat apa yang akan Aku lakukan terhadap raja Mesir. Aku akan memaksanya untuk membiarkan umat-Ku pergi, bahkan dia akan mengusir mereka keluar dari negerinya.”

2 God also told Moses, “I am the LORD.

Lagi kata TUHAN kepada Musa, “Akulah TUHAN.

3 I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob as God Almighty, but by My name the LORD I did not make Myself known to them.

Aku sudah menyatakan diri kepada Abraham, Isak, dan Yakub sebagai Allah Yang Mahakuasa, tetapi Aku tidak memperkenalkan nama-Ku, TUHAN, kepada mereka.

4 I also established My covenant with them to give them the land of Canaan, the land where they lived as foreigners.

Aku juga sudah mengadakan perjanjian dengan mereka. Aku berjanji akan memberikan kepada mereka negeri Kanaan, di mana mereka dulu hidup sebagai pendatang.

5 Furthermore, I have heard the groaning of the Israelites, whom the Egyptians are enslaving, and I have remembered My covenant.

Aku pun sudah mendengar keluh kesah umat Israel yang diperbudak bangsa Mesir, dan Aku mengingat perjanjian-Ku.

6 Therefore tell the Israelites: ‘I am the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians and deliver you from their bondage. I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with mighty acts of judgment.

“Karena itu, sampaikanlah kepada umat Israel, ‘Akulah TUHAN. Aku akan membawa kalian keluar dari perbudakan bangsa Mesir. Aku akan menghukum bangsa Mesir dengan hukuman berat, dan dengan kuasa-Ku, Aku akan membebaskan kalian.

7 I will take you as My own people, and I will be your God. Then you will know that I am the LORD your God, who brought you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians.

Aku akan mengangkat kalian sebagai umat-Ku, dan Aku akan menjadi Allah kalian. Kalian akan tahu bahwa Akulah TUHAN Allahmu yang sudah membebaskan kalian dari perbudakan bangsa Mesir.

8 And I will bring you into the land that I swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I will give it to you as a possession. I am the LORD!’”

Aku akan membawa kalian ke negeri yang Aku janjikan dengan bersumpah kepada Abraham, Isak, dan Yakub. Aku akan memberikan negeri itu kepada kalian sebagai milikmu sendiri. Akulah TUHAN.’”

9 Moses relayed this message to the Israelites, but on account of their broken spirit and cruel bondage, they did not listen to him.

Musa menyampaikan semua pesan itu kepada bangsa Israel, tetapi mereka tidak mau percaya, karena terlalu tertekan oleh perbudakan yang kejam dan sudah sangat putus asa.

10 So the LORD said to Moses,

Kemudian TUHAN berkata kepada Musa,

11 “Go and tell Pharaoh king of Egypt to let the Israelites go out of his land.”

“Pergilah menghadap raja Mesir dan katakan kepadanya bahwa dia harus membiarkan umat Israel pergi dari negerinya.”

12 But in the LORD’s presence Moses replied, “If the Israelites will not listen to me, then why would Pharaoh listen to me, since I am unskilled in speech?”

Musa menjawab, “Tetapi selama ini umat Israel pun tidak mendengarkan aku, apalagi raja Mesir! Mana mungkin dia mendengarkan aku, orang yang tidak pandai bicara ini!”

13 Then the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron and gave them a charge concerning both the Israelites and Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the Israelites out of the land of Egypt.

Meski demikian, TUHAN tetap mengutus Musa dan Harun kepada umat Israel dan raja Mesir dengan perintah untuk memimpin umat Israel keluar dari Mesir.

26 It was this Aaron and Moses to whom the LORD said, “Bring the Israelites out of the land of Egypt by their divisions.”

Harun dan Musa diperintahkan TUHAN untuk membawa umat Israel keluar dari tanah Mesir, dalam rombongan besar menurut pasukan-pasukan mereka.

27 Moses and Aaron were the ones who spoke to Pharaoh king of Egypt in order to bring the Israelites out of Egypt.

Kedua orang itulah yang berbicara kepada raja Mesir untuk membawa umat Israel keluar dari negeri Mesir.

28 Now on the day that the LORD spoke to Moses in Egypt,

TUHAN berkata kepada Musa di Mesir,

29 He said to him, “I am the LORD; tell Pharaoh king of Egypt everything I say to you.”

“Akulah TUHAN! Beritahukanlah kepada raja Mesir segala pesan yang Aku sampaikan kepadamu.”

30 But in the LORD’s presence Moses replied, “Since I am unskilled in speech, why would Pharaoh listen to me?”

Namun, Musa menjawab TUHAN, “Aku tidak pandai berbicara. Raja pasti tidak akan mendengarkan aku!”
