Exodus 9
1 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh and tell him that this is what the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, says: ‘Let My people go, so that they may worship Me.
TUHAN berkata kepada Musa, "Pergilah menghadap raja, dan katakan kepadanya bahwa TUHAN, Allah orang Ibrani, berkata: 'Biarkanlah umat-Ku pergi supaya mereka dapat berbakti kepada-Ku.
2 But if you continue to restrain them and refuse to let them go,
Kalau engkau tak mau melepaskan mereka,
3 then the hand of the LORD will bring a severe plague on your livestock in the field—on your horses, donkeys, camels, herds, and flocks.
Aku akan mendatangkan wabah yang dahsyat atas semua ternakmu, kuda, keledai, unta, sapi, domba dan kambingmu.
4 But the LORD will make a distinction between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt, so that no animal belonging to the Israelites will die.’”
Aku akan membedakan ternak orang Israel dan ternak orang Mesir. Dari ternak orang Israel tak seekor pun yang akan mati.
5 The LORD set a time, saying, “Tomorrow the LORD will do this in the land.”
Aku, TUHAN, menetapkan hari esok untuk melaksanakan hal itu.'"
6 And the next day the LORD did just that. All the livestock of the Egyptians died, but not one animal belonging to the Israelites died.
Keesokan harinya TUHAN berbuat seperti yang sudah dikatakan-Nya. Semua ternak bangsa Mesir mati, tetapi dari ternak bangsa Israel seekor pun tak ada yang mati.
7 Pharaoh sent officials and found that none of the livestock of the Israelites had died. But Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he would not let the people go.
Raja menanyakan apa yang telah terjadi, lalu diceritakan kepadanya bahwa dari ternak orang Israel tak seekor pun yang mati. Tetapi raja berkeras kepala dan tidak mau melepaskan bangsa itu pergi.
8 Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “Take handfuls of soot from the furnace; in the sight of Pharaoh, Moses is to toss it into the air.
TUHAN berkata kepada Musa dan Harun, "Ambillah beberapa genggam abu dari tempat pembakaran. Di depan raja, Musa harus menghamburkan abu itu ke udara.
9 It will become fine dust over all the land of Egypt, and festering boils will break out on man and beast throughout the land.”
Maka abu itu akan tersebar ke seluruh tanah Mesir. Pada manusia dan binatang abu itu akan menimbulkan bisul-bisul yang pecah menjadi luka bernanah."
10 So they took soot from the furnace and stood before Pharaoh. Moses tossed it into the air, and festering boils broke out on man and beast.
Lalu Musa dan Harun mengambil abu, dan menghadap raja. Musa menghamburkan abu itu ke udara. Pada manusia dan binatang timbullah bisul-bisul yang pecah menjadi luka bernanah.
11 The magicians could not stand before Moses, because the boils had broken out on them and on all the Egyptians.
Para ahli sihir tidak bisa menghadap Musa karena seluruh badan mereka penuh bisul seperti orang-orang Mesir lainnya.
12 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he would not listen to them, just as the LORD had said to Moses.
Tetapi TUHAN menjadikan raja keras kepala, dan seperti yang sudah dikatakan TUHAN, raja tidak mau mempedulikan perkataan Musa dan Harun.
13 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Get up early in the morning, stand before Pharaoh, and tell him that this is what the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, says: ‘Let My people go, so that they may worship Me.
TUHAN berkata kepada Musa, "Pergilah besok pagi-pagi sekali menghadap raja, dan sampaikan kepadanya bahwa TUHAN, Allah orang Ibrani berkata: 'Lepaskan umat-Ku supaya mereka dapat pergi beribadat kepada-Ku.
14 Otherwise, I will send all My plagues against you and your officials and your people, so you may know that there is no one like Me in all the earth.
Kali ini Aku akan mendatangkan bencana tidak hanya kepada para pejabat dan rakyat saja, tetapi juga kepadamu, supaya engkau tahu bahwa tidak ada tandingan-Ku di seluruh dunia.
15 For by this time I could have stretched out My hand and struck you and your people with a plague to wipe you off the earth.
Sekiranya Aku mau menghukum engkau dan rakyatmu dengan penyakit, pasti kamu sudah binasa sama sekali.
16 But I have raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display My power to you, and that My name might be proclaimed in all the earth.
Tetapi kamu Kubiarkan hidup, supaya Aku dapat menunjukkan kekuasaan-Ku kepadamu, sehingga nama-Ku menjadi termasyhur di seluruh bumi.
17 Still, you lord it over My people and do not allow them to go.
Meskipun begitu, engkau masih juga tinggi hati dan tidak mau mengizinkan umat-Ku pergi.
18 Behold, at this time tomorrow I will rain down the worst hail that has ever fallen on Egypt, from the day it was founded until now.
Besok pagi, pada saat yang sama, Aku akan mendatangkan hujan es yang dahsyat, seperti yang belum pernah terjadi di Mesir dari dahulu sampai sekarang.
19 So give orders now to shelter your livestock and everything you have in the field. Every man or beast that remains in the field and is not brought inside will die when the hail comes down upon them.’”
Maka perintahkanlah supaya semua ternak dan segala milikmu yang ada di luar dibawa ke tempat yang aman. Semua orang dan ternak yang ada di luar dan tak dapat berlindung akan mati ditimpa hujan es.'"
20 Those among Pharaoh’s officials who feared the word of the LORD hurried to bring their servants and livestock to shelter,
Beberapa di antara para pejabat takut kepada perkataan TUHAN. Mereka membawa hamba-hamba dan ternak mereka masuk ke dalam rumah supaya terlindung.
21 but those who disregarded the word of the LORD left their servants and livestock in the field.
Tetapi yang lain tidak mengindahkan peringatan itu dan meninggalkan hamba-hamba dan ternak mereka di padang.
22 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward heaven, so that hail may fall on all the land of Egypt—on man and beast and every plant of the field throughout the land of Egypt.”
Lalu TUHAN berkata kepada Musa, "Angkatlah tanganmu ke atas, dan hujan es akan turun di seluruh tanah Mesir. Hujan itu akan menimpa manusia, ternak dan segala tanaman di ladang."
23 So Moses stretched out his staff toward heaven, and the LORD sent thunder and hail, and lightning struck the earth. So the LORD rained down hail upon the land of Egypt.
Musa mengangkat tongkatnya ke atas, dan TUHAN menurunkan guruh dan hujan es, dan petir menyambar bumi. TUHAN mendatangkan
24 The hail fell and the lightning continued flashing through it. The hail was so severe that nothing like it had ever been seen in all the land of Egypt from the time it became a nation.
hujan es yang dahsyat disertai petir yang sambar-menyambar. Itulah hujan es yang paling dahsyat dalam sejarah Mesir.
25 Throughout the land of Egypt, the hail struck down everything in the field, both man and beast; it beat down every plant of the field and stripped every tree.
Di seluruh negeri hujan es itu membinasakan segala sesuatu di ladang, termasuk manusia dan ternak. Semua tanaman di ladang rusak dan pohon-pohon ditumbangkan.
26 The only place where it did not hail was in the land of Goshen, where the Israelites lived.
Hanya daerah Gosyen, tempat kediaman orang-orang Israel, tidak ditimpa hujan es.
27 Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron. “This time I have sinned,” he said. “The LORD is righteous, and I and my people are wicked.
Lalu raja memanggil Musa dan Harun, dan berkata, "Aku telah berdosa. Tuhanlah yang benar, aku dan rakyatku telah berbuat salah.
28 Pray to the LORD, for there has been enough of God’s thunder and hail. I will let you go; you do not need to stay any longer.”
Berdoalah kepada TUHAN; kami sudah cukup menderita karena guruh dan hujan es ini. Aku akan melepas kamu pergi. Kamu tak usah tinggal di sini lagi."
29 Moses said to him, “When I have left the city, I will spread out my hands to the LORD. The thunder will cease, and there will be no more hail, so that you may know that the earth is the LORD’s.
Kata Musa kepada raja, "Segera sesudah saya sampai di luar kota, saya akan mengangkat tangan untuk berdoa kepada TUHAN. Guruh akan berhenti dan hujan es akan reda, supaya Tuanku tahu bahwa bumi ini milik TUHAN.
30 But as for you and your officials, I know that you still do not fear the LORD our God.”
Tetapi saya tahu bahwa Tuanku dan para pejabat belum juga takut kepada TUHAN Allah."
31 (Now the flax and barley were destroyed, since the barley was ripe and the flax was in bloom;
Tanaman rami dan jelai musnah, karena rami sedang berbunga, dan jelai sedang berbulir.
32 but the wheat and spelt were not destroyed, because they are late crops.)
Tetapi gandum dan biji-bijian tidak rusak karena belum musimnya.
33 Then Moses departed from Pharaoh, went out of the city, and spread out his hands to the LORD. The thunder and hail ceased, and the rain no longer poured down on the land.
Lalu Musa meninggalkan raja dan pergi ke luar kota; di sana ia mengangkat tangannya untuk berdoa kepada TUHAN. Saat itu juga berhentilah guntur, hujan es dan hujan.
34 When Pharaoh saw that the rain and hail and thunder had ceased, he sinned again and hardened his heart—he and his officials.
Ketika raja melihat apa yang terjadi, ia berdosa lagi. Dia dan para pejabatnya tetap berkeras kepala.
35 So Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he would not let the Israelites go, just as the LORD had said through Moses.
Seperti yang sudah dikatakan TUHAN melalui Musa, raja tidak mau mengizinkan orang Israel pergi.
