Exodus 10
1 And the Lord said to Moses, Go in to Pharaoh: for I have made his heart and the hearts of his servants hard, so that I may let my signs be seen among them:
Kemudian TUHAN berkata kepada Musa, “Pergilah menghadap raja, karena Aku sudah mengeraskan hatinya dan hati para pejabatnya, supaya Aku dapat menunjukkan berbagai keajaiban kepada mereka,
2 And so that you may be able to give to your son and to your son's son the story of my wonders in Egypt, and the signs which I have done among them; so that you may see that I am the Lord.
dan supaya kamu dapat menceritakan kepada anak cucumu bagaimana Aku, Allahmu, sudah mempermainkan orang Mesir. Kelak, kamu akan menceritakan semua keajaiban yang sudah Aku tunjukkan kepada mereka. Dengan demikian, kamu semua akan tahu bahwa Akulah TUHAN.”
3 Then Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and said to him, This is what the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, says: How long will you be lifted up in your pride before me? let my people go so that they may give me worship.
Maka Musa dan Harun pergi menghadap raja dan berkata kepadanya, “TUHAN, Allah umat Israel, berkata, ‘Sampai kapankah engkau akan menolak tunduk kepada-Ku? Biarkanlah umat-Ku pergi untuk menyembah-Ku.
4 For if you will not let my people go, tomorrow I will send locusts into your land:
Apabila engkau tetap menolak, maka besok Aku akan mendatangkan belalang ke negerimu.
5 And the face of the earth will be covered with them, so that you will not be able to see the earth: and they will be the destruction of everything which up to now has not been damaged, everything which was not crushed by the ice-storm, and every tree still living in your fields.
Belalang-belalang itu akan menutupi seluruh daratan Mesir sehingga tanah tidak lagi terlihat. Belalang-belalang itu akan memakan sisa tanaman yang tidak rusak karena hujan es dan setiap pohon di ladang.
6 And your houses will be full of them, and the houses of your servants and of all the Egyptians; it will be worse than anything your fathers have seen or their fathers, from the day when they were living on the earth till this day. And so he went out from Pharaoh.
Rumah-rumahmu dan semua rumah pejabatmu serta rakyat Mesir akan dipenuhi belalang. Orangtua maupun nenek moyang kalian belum pernah melihat bencana seperti ini!’” Sesudah itu, Musa langsung berbalik dan meninggalkan raja.
7 And Pharaoh's servants said to him, How long is this man to be the cause of evil to us? let the men go so that they may give worship to the Lord their God: are you not awake to Egypt's danger?
Para pejabat raja berkata kepadanya, “Baginda, sampai kapankah orang ini akan terus menyusahkan kita? Biarkanlah rakyat itu pergi agar mereka dapat menyembah dewa mereka. Sadarilah, Mesir sudah hancur!”
8 Then Moses and Aaron came in again before Pharaoh: and he said to them, Go and give worship to the Lord your God: but which of you are going?
Kemudian Musa dan Harun dibawa kembali untuk menghadap raja, dan raja berkata kepada mereka, “Pergilah menyembah dewa kalian. Tetapi siapa saja yang akan pergi?”
9 And Moses said, We will go with our young and our old, with our sons and our daughters, with our flocks and our herds; for we are to keep a feast to the Lord.
Jawab Musa, “Kami akan pergi membawa seluruh anggota keluarga kami, semua orang baik tua maupun muda, juga semua ternak kami, karena kami harus mengadakan perayaan bagi TUHAN.”
10 And he said to them, May the Lord be with you, if I will let you and your little ones go! take care, for your purpose clearly is evil.
Tetapi kata raja kepada mereka, “Ha! Kalau begitu hanya mujizat dewamu itu yang bisa membuatku mengizinkan kalian pergi membawa para perempuan dan anak-anak kalian! Aku tahu kalian sedang menyusun rencana jahat!
11 Not so; but let your males go and give worship to the Lord, as your desire is. This he said, driving them out from before him.
Tidak bisa! Hanya para laki-laki yang boleh pergi dan menyembah dewamu itu, sesuai permintaan kalian!” Setelah itu Musa dan Harun diusir dari hadapan raja.
12 And the Lord said to Moses, Let your hand be stretched out over the land of Egypt so that the locusts may come up on the land for the destruction of every green plant in the land, even everything untouched by the ice-storm.
Kemudian TUHAN berkata kepada Musa, “Ulurkanlah tanganmu ke atas tanah Mesir, maka belalang-belalang akan datang menutupi seluruh daratan dan memakan setiap tanaman di Mesir yang tidak dirusak oleh hujan es.”
13 And Moses' rod was stretched out over the land of Egypt, and the Lord sent an east wind over the land all that day and all the night; and in the morning the locusts came up with the east wind.
Musa pun mengulurkan tongkatnya ke atas tanah Mesir, dan TUHAN membuat angin timur bertiup di seluruh negeri sepanjang siang dan malam. Keesokan paginya, belalang-belalang sudah datang terbawa oleh angin timur itu.
14 And the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, resting on every part of the land, in very great numbers; such an army of locusts had never been seen before, and never will be again.
Belalang-belalang menutupi seluruh permukaan tanah negeri Mesir. Dalam sejarah Mesir, belum pernah terjadi bencana belalang seperti itu, dan untuk selamanya tidak akan pernah terjadi lagi.
15 For all the face of the earth was covered with them, so that the land was black; and every green plant and all the fruit of the trees which was untouched by the ice-storm they took for food: not one green thing, no plant or tree, was to be seen in all the land of Egypt.
Permukaan tanah menjadi gelap karena tertutup oleh banyaknya belalang. Hewan-hewan itu memakan habis semua tanaman dan buah-buahan pada pohon-pohon yang masih bertahan dari hujan es. Tidak ada tumbuhan hijau yang tersisa di seluruh Mesir, baik tanaman maupun pohon.
16 Then Pharaoh quickly sent for Moses and Aaron, and said, I have done evil against the Lord your God and against you.
Raja segera memanggil Musa dan Harun dan berkata kepada mereka “Saya sudah berdosa terhadap ‘Tuhan’ dan terhadap kalian.
17 Let me now have forgiveness for my sin this time only, and make prayer to the Lord your God that he will take away from me this death only.
Saya mohon sekali ini saja, ampunilah dosa saya dan mintalah kepada dewa kalian itu agar dia menjauhkan hukuman maut ini dari saya.”
18 So he went out from Pharaoh and made prayer to the Lord.
Musa meninggalkan raja dan memohon kepada TUHAN.
19 And the Lord sent a very strong west wind, which took up the locusts, driving them into the Red Sea; not one locust was to be seen in any part of Egypt.
Maka TUHAN membalikkan arah angin menjadi angin barat yang kencang dan meniup belalang-belalang itu ke Laut Merah. Tidak ada seekor pun yang tertinggal di seluruh Mesir.
20 But the Lord made Pharaoh's heart hard, and he did not let the children of Israel go.
Namun, TUHAN mengeraskan hati raja, dan lagi-lagi dia melarang umat Israel pergi.
21 And the Lord said to Moses, Let your hand be stretched out to heaven, and all the land of Egypt will be dark, so that men will be feeling their way about in the dark.
Lalu TUHAN berkata kepada Musa, “Angkatlah tanganmu ke arah langit, maka kegelapan yang sangat dahsyat akan meliputi seluruh negeri Mesir.”
22 And when Moses' hand was stretched out, dark night came over all the land of Egypt for three days;
Musa mengangkat tangannya ke langit dan gelap gulita menyelimuti seluruh Mesir selama tiga hari.
23 They were not able to see one another, and no one got up from his place for three days: but where the children of Israel were living it was light.
Rakyat Mesir tidak dapat melihat satu sama lain dan tidak dapat pergi kemana-mana selama tiga hari. Tetapi di daerah umat Israel tinggal tidak terjadi kegelapan seperti itu.
24 Then Pharaoh sent for Moses, and said, Go and give worship to the Lord; only let your flocks and your herds be kept here: your little ones may go with you.
Raja memanggil Musa dan berkata, “Pergilah menyembah dewamu. Perempuan-perempuan dan anak-anak kalian boleh ikut, tetapi semua ternak kalian harus ditinggalkan di sini.”
25 But Moses said, You will have to let us take burned offerings to put before the Lord our God.
Jawab Musa, “Engkau harus membiarkan kami membawa kurban bakaran agar kami mempersembahkannya kepada TUHAN Allah kami.
26 So our cattle will have to go with us, not one may be kept back; for they are needed for the worship of the Lord our God; we have no knowledge what offering we have to give till we come to the place.
Semua ternak harus kami bawa. Kami tidak akan meninggalkan seekor pun karena kami harus mempersembahkan sebagian dari ternak kami kepada TUHAN Allah, dan kami tidak tahu mana yang akan kami persembahkan kepada TUHAN sebelum kami tiba di sana.”
27 But the Lord made Pharaoh's heart hard, and he would not let them go.
Namun, TUHAN mengeraskan hati raja sehingga dia tidak membiarkan mereka pergi.
28 And Pharaoh said to him, Go away from me, take care that you come not again before me; for the day when you see my face again will be your last.
Raja berkata kepada Musa, “Pergi kamu! Jangan pernah melihat mukaku lagi! Kalau kamu berani-berani datang, kamu pasti mati!”
29 And Moses said, You say truly; I will not see your face again.
Jawab Musa, “Terjadilah sesuai perkataanmu! Saya tidak akan pernah melihat mukamu lagi!”
