Exodus 14
1 And the Lord said to Moses,
Berfirmanlah TUHAN kepada Musa, demikian:
2 Give orders to the children of Israel to go back and put up their tents before Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, in front of Baal-zephon, opposite to which you are to put up your tents by the sea.
"Katakanlah kepada orang Israel, supaya mereka balik kembali dan berkemah di depan Pi-Hahirot, antara Migdol dan laut; tepat di depan Baal-Zefon berkemahlah kamu, di tepi laut.
3 And Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are wandering without direction, they are shut in by the waste land.
Maka Firaun akan berkata tentang orang Israel: Mereka telah sesat di negeri ini, padang gurun telah mengurung mereka.
4 And I will make Pharaoh's heart hard, and he will come after them and I will be honoured over Pharaoh and all his army, so that the Egyptians may see that I am the Lord. And they did so.
Aku akan mengeraskan hati Firaun, sehingga ia mengejar mereka. Dan terhadap Firaun dan seluruh pasukannya Aku akan menyatakan kemuliaan-Ku, sehingga orang Mesir mengetahui, bahwa Akulah TUHAN." Lalu mereka berbuat demikian.
5 And word came to Pharaoh of the flight of the people: and the feeling of Pharaoh and of his servants about the people was changed, and they said, Why have we let Israel go, so that they will do no more work for us?
Ketika diberitahukan kepada raja Mesir, bahwa bangsa itu telah lari, maka berubahlah hati Firaun dan pegawai-pegawainya terhadap bangsa itu, dan berkatalah mereka: "Apakah yang telah kita perbuat ini, bahwa kita membiarkan orang Israel pergi dari perbudakan kita?"
6 So he had his war-carriage made ready and took his people with him:
Kemudian ia memasang keretanya dan membawa rakyatnya serta.
7 And he took six hundred carriages, all the carriages of Egypt, and captains over all of them.
Ia membawa enam ratus kereta yang terpilih, ya, segala kereta Mesir, masing-masing lengkap dengan perwiranya.
8 And the Lord made the heart of Pharaoh hard, and he went after the children of Israel: for the children of Israel had gone out without fear.
Demikianlah TUHAN mengeraskan hati Firaun, raja Mesir itu, sehingga ia mengejar orang Israel. Tetapi orang Israel berjalan terus dipimpin oleh tangan yang dinaikkan.
9 But the Egyptians went after them, all the horses and carriages of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them in their tents by the sea, by Pihahiroth, before Baal-zephon.
Adapun orang Mesir, segala kuda dan kereta Firaun, orang-orang berkuda dan pasukannya, mengejar mereka dan mencapai mereka pada waktu mereka berkemah di tepi laut, dekat Pi-Hahirot di depan Baal-Zefon.
10 And when Pharaoh came near, the children of Israel, lifting up their eyes, saw the Egyptians coming after them, and were full of fear; and their cry went up to God.
Ketika Firaun telah dekat, orang Israel menoleh, maka tampaklah orang Mesir bergerak menyusul mereka. Lalu sangat ketakutanlah orang Israel dan mereka berseru-seru kepada TUHAN,
11 And they said to Moses, Was there no resting-place for the dead in Egypt, that you have taken us away to come to our death in the waste land? why have you taken us out of Egypt?
dan mereka berkata kepada Musa: "Apakah karena tidak ada kuburan di Mesir, maka engkau membawa kami untuk mati di padang gurun ini? Apakah yang kauperbuat ini terhadap kami dengan membawa kami keluar dari Mesir?
12 Did we not say to you in Egypt, Let us be as we are, working for the Egyptians? for it is better to be the servants of the Egyptians than to come to our death in the waste land.
Bukankah ini telah kami katakan kepadamu di Mesir: Janganlah mengganggu kami dan biarlah kami bekerja pada orang Mesir. Sebab lebih baik bagi kami untuk bekerja pada orang Mesir dari pada mati di padang gurun ini."
13 But Moses said, Keep where you are and have no fear; now you will see the salvation of the Lord which he will give you today; for the Egyptians whom you see today you will never see again.
Tetapi berkatalah Musa kepada bangsa itu: "Janganlah takut, berdirilah tetap dan lihatlah keselamatan dari TUHAN, yang akan diberikan-Nya hari ini kepadamu; sebab orang Mesir yang kamu lihat hari ini, tidak akan kamu lihat lagi untuk selama-lamanya.
14 The Lord will make war for you, you have only to keep quiet.
TUHAN akan berperang untuk kamu, dan kamu akan diam saja."
15 And the Lord said to Moses, Why are you crying out to me? give the children of Israel the order to go forward.
Berfirmanlah TUHAN kepada Musa: "Mengapakah engkau berseru-seru demikian kepada-Ku? Katakanlah kepada orang Israel, supaya mereka berangkat.
16 And let your rod be lifted up and your hand stretched out over the sea, and it will be parted in two; and the children of Israel will go through on dry land.
Dan engkau, angkatlah tongkatmu dan ulurkanlah tanganmu ke atas laut dan belahlah airnya, sehingga orang Israel akan berjalan dari tengah-tengah laut di tempat kering.
17 And I will make the heart of the Egyptians hard, and they will go in after them: and I will be honoured over Pharaoh and over his army, his war-carriages, and his horsemen.
Tetapi sungguh Aku akan mengeraskan hati orang Mesir, sehingga mereka menyusul orang Israel, dan terhadap Firaun dan seluruh pasukannya, keretanya dan orangnya yang berkuda, Aku akan menyatakan kemuliaan-Ku.
18 And the Egyptians will see that I am the Lord, when I get honour over Pharaoh and his war-carriages and his horsemen.
Maka orang Mesir akan mengetahui, bahwa Akulah TUHAN, apabila Aku memperlihatkan kemuliaan-Ku terhadap Firaun, keretanya dan orangnya yang berkuda."
19 Then the angel of God, who had been before the tents of Israel, took his place at their back; and the pillar of cloud, moving from before them, came to rest at their back:
Kemudian bergeraklah Malaikat Allah, yang tadinya berjalan di depan tentara Israel, lalu berjalan di belakang mereka; dan tiang awan itu bergerak dari depan mereka, lalu berdiri di belakang mereka.
20 And it came between the army of Egypt and the army of Israel; and there was a dark cloud between them, and they went on through the night; but the one army came no nearer to the other all the night.
Demikianlah tiang itu berdiri di antara tentara orang Mesir dan tentara orang Israel; dan oleh karena awan itu menimbulkan kegelapan, maka malam itu lewat, sehingga yang satu tidak dapat mendekati yang lain, semalam-malaman itu.
21 And when Moses' hand was stretched out over the sea, the Lord with a strong east wind made the sea go back all night, and the waters were parted in two and the sea became dry land.
Lalu Musa mengulurkan tangannya ke atas laut, dan semalam-malaman itu TUHAN menguakkan air laut dengan perantaraan angin timur yang keras, membuat laut itu menjadi tanah kering; maka terbelahlah air itu.
22 And the children of Israel went through the sea on dry land: and the waters were a wall on their right side and on their left.
Demikianlah orang Israel berjalan dari tengah-tengah laut di tempat kering; sedang di kiri dan di kanan mereka air itu sebagai tembok bagi mereka.
23 Then the Egyptians went after them into the middle of the sea, all Pharaoh's horses and his war-carriages and his horsemen.
Orang Mesir mengejar dan menyusul mereka--segala kuda Firaun, keretanya dan orangnya yang berkuda--sampai ke tengah-tengah laut.
24 And in the morning watch, the Lord, looking out on the armies of the Egyptians from the pillar of fire and cloud, sent trouble on the army of the Egyptians;
Dan pada waktu jaga pagi, TUHAN yang di dalam tiang api dan awan itu memandang kepada tentara orang Mesir, lalu dikacaukan-Nya tentara orang Mesir itu.
25 And made the wheels of their war-carriages stiff, so that they had hard work driving them: so the Egyptians said, Let us go in flight from before the face of Israel, for the Lord is fighting for them against the Egyptians.
Ia membuat roda keretanya berjalan miring dan maju dengan berat, sehingga orang Mesir berkata: "Marilah kita lari meninggalkan orang Israel, sebab Tuhanlah yang berperang untuk mereka melawan Mesir."
26 And the Lord said to Moses, Let your hand be stretched out over the sea, and the waters will come back again on the Egyptians, and on their war-carriages and on their horsemen.
Berfirmanlah TUHAN kepada Musa: "Ulurkanlah tanganmu ke atas laut, supaya air berbalik meliputi orang Mesir, meliputi kereta mereka dan orang mereka yang berkuda."
27 And when Moses' hand was stretched out over the sea, at dawn the sea came flowing back, meeting the Egyptians in their flight, and the Lord sent destruction on the Egyptians in the middle of the sea.
Musa mengulurkan tangannya ke atas laut, maka menjelang pagi berbaliklah air laut ke tempatnya, sedang orang Mesir lari menuju air itu; demikianlah TUHAN mencampakkan orang Mesir ke tengah-tengah laut.
28 And the waters came back, covering the war-carriages and the horsemen and all the army of Pharaoh which went after them into the middle of the sea; not one of them was to be seen.
Berbaliklah segala air itu, lalu menutupi kereta dan orang berkuda dari seluruh pasukan Firaun, yang telah menyusul orang Israel itu ke laut; seorangpun tidak ada yang tinggal dari mereka.
29 But the children of Israel went through the sea walking on dry land, and the waters were a wall on their right side and on their left.
Tetapi orang Israel berjalan di tempat kering dari tengah-tengah laut, sedang di kiri dan di kanan mereka air itu sebagai tembok bagi mereka.
30 So that day the Lord gave Israel salvation from the hands of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the sea's edge.
Demikianlah pada hari itu TUHAN menyelamatkan orang Israel dari tangan orang Mesir. Dan orang Israel melihat orang Mesir mati terhantar di pantai laut.
31 And Israel saw the great work which the Lord had done against the Egyptians, and the fear of the Lord came on the people and they had faith in the Lord and in his servant Moses.
Ketika dilihat oleh orang Israel, betapa besarnya perbuatan yang dilakukan TUHAN terhadap orang Mesir, maka takutlah bangsa itu kepada TUHAN dan mereka percaya kepada TUHAN dan kepada Musa, hamba-Nya itu.
