Exodus 10
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Go in to Pharao: for I have hardened his heart and the heart of his servants, that these signs may come upon them; in order
TUHAN berkata kepada Musa, "Pergilah menghadap raja. Aku telah menjadikan dia dan para pejabatnya keras kepala, supaya Aku dapat melakukan keajaiban-keajaiban di tengah-tengah mereka,
2 that you may relate in the ears of your children, and to your children's children, in how many things I have mocked the Egyptians, and my wonders which I wrought amongst them; and you shall know that I [am] the Lord.
dan supaya engkau dapat menceritakan kepada anak cucumu bagaimana Aku mempermainkan bangsa Mesir dengan keajaiban-keajaiban itu. Maka kamu semua akan tahu bahwa Akulah TUHAN."
3 And Moses and Aaron went in before Pharao, and they said to him, These things says the Lord God of the Hebrews, How long do you refuse to reverence me? Send my people away, that they may serve me.
Lalu Musa dan Harun pergi menghadap raja dan berkata kepadanya, "TUHAN, Allah bangsa Ibrani, berkata, 'Sampai kapan engkau tak mau tunduk kepada-Ku? Biarkanlah umat-Ku pergi, supaya mereka dapat beribadat kepada-Ku.
4 But if you will not send my people away, behold, at this hour to-morrow I will bring an abundance of locusts upon all your coasts.
Kalau engkau masih juga menolak, maka besok akan Kudatangkan belalang ke negerimu.
5 And they shall cover the face of the earth, and you shall not be able to see the earth; and they shall devour all that is left of the abundance of the earth, which the hail has left you, and shall devour every tree that grows for you on the land.
Seluruh permukaan tanah akan tertutup sama sekali oleh belalang yang sangat banyak itu. Semua sisa tanaman, bahkan pohon-pohon yang tidak dibinasakan oleh hujan es, akan dihabiskan oleh belalang itu.
6 And your houses shall be filled, and the houses of your servants, and all the houses in all the land of the Egyptians; things which your fathers have never seen, nor their forefathers, from the day that they were upon the earth until this day. And Moses turned away and departed from Pharao.
Istanamu, rumah-rumah para pejabat dan rumah rakyat akan penuh belalang. Bencana ini akan lebih hebat daripada apa yang pernah dialami oleh nenek moyangmu.'" Kemudian Musa berbalik dan pergi.
7 And the servants of Pharao say to him, How long shall this be a snare to us? send away the men, that they may serve their God; will you know that Egypt is destroyed?
Berkatalah para pejabat kepada raja, "Sampai kapan orang itu harus menyusahkan kita? Biarkanlah semua orang Israel itu pergi untuk beribadat kepada TUHAN, Allah mereka. Lihatlah negeri kita ini sudah hancur!"
8 And they brought back both Moses and Aaron to Pharao; and he said to them, Go and serve the Lord your God; but who are they that are going with you?
Maka Musa dan Harun dipanggil kembali menghadap raja. Kata raja kepada mereka, "Kamu boleh pergi untuk beribadat kepada TUHAN Allahmu. Tetapi siapa saja di antara kamu yang akan pergi?"
9 And Moses said, We will go with the young and the old, with our sons, and daughters, and sheep, and oxen, for it is a feast of the Lord.
Jawab Musa, "Kami semua, baik yang muda maupun yang tua. Kami akan membawa semua anak kami, semua sapi, domba, dan kambing kami, sebab kami harus mengadakan suatu perayaan besar untuk menghormati TUHAN."
10 And he said to them, So let the Lord be with you: as I [will] send you away, [must I send away] you store also? see that evil is attached to you.
Kata raja, "Tidak mungkin aku mengizinkan kamu membawa orang-orang perempuan dan anak-anakmu! Yang kamu minta itu sama saja dengan mengharapkan aku meminta TUHAN memberkati kamu. Sudah jelas bagiku bahwa kamu bermaksud jahat.
11 Not so, but let the men go and serve God, for this you yourselves seek; and they cast them out from the presence of Pharao.
Tidak! Cuma orang-orang lelaki boleh pergi untuk beribadat kepada TUHAN, kalau kamu memang ingin beribadat saja!" Dengan kata-kata itu Musa dan Harun diusir dari istana.
12 And the Lord said to Moses, Stretch out your hand over the land of Egypt, and let the locust come up on the land, and it shall devour every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees, which the hail left.
Lalu TUHAN berkata kepada Musa, "Acungkan tanganmu ke atas tanah Mesir. Belalang-belalang akan datang dan makan segala tanam-tanaman yang masih sisa sesudah hujan es."
13 And Moses lifted up his rod towards heaven, and the Lord brought a south wind upon the earth, all that day and all that night: the morning dawned, and the south wind brought up the locusts,
Musa mengangkat tongkatnya dan TUHAN membuat angin timur bertiup di negeri itu sepanjang hari dan sepanjang malam. Menjelang pagi angin itu membawa belalang-belalang
14 and brought them up over all the land of Egypt. And they rested in very great abundance over all the borders of Egypt. Before them there were not such locusts, neither after them shall there be.
yang luar biasa banyaknya, sehingga penuhlah seluruh negeri. Belum pernah orang melihat belalang begitu banyak, dan sesudah itu pun hal yang demikian tidak terjadi lagi.
15 And they covered the face of the earth, and the land was wasted, and they devoured all the herbage of the land, and all the fruit of the trees, which was left by the hail: there was no green thing left on the trees, nor on all the herbage of the field, in all the land of Egypt.
Seluruh permukaan tanah ditutupi belalang sampai hitam kelihatannya. Mereka makan apa saja yang tidak dimusnahkan oleh hujan es itu, termasuk buah-buahan di pohon. Di seluruh tanah Mesir tak ada sesuatu yang hijau yang tersisa pada pohon-pohon atau tanaman.
16 And Pharao hasted to call Moses and Aaron, saying, I have sinned before the Lord your God, and against you;
Raja segera memanggil Musa dan Harun lalu berkata, "Aku telah berdosa terhadap TUHAN Allahmu dan terhadap kamu.
17 pardon therefore my sin yet this time, and pray to the Lord your God, and let him take away from me this death.
Ampunilah dosaku untuk kali ini, dan berdoalah kepada TUHAN Allahmu, supaya Ia mengambil daripadaku hukuman yang menewaskan ini."
18 And Moses went forth from Pharao, and prayed to God.
Musa meninggalkan raja dan berdoa kepada TUHAN.
19 And the Lord brought in the opposite direction a strong wind from the sea, and took up the locusts and cast them into the Red Sea, and there was not one locust left in all the land of Egypt.
Maka TUHAN mengubah arah angin menjadi angin barat yang sangat kuat. Belalang-belalang itu ditiup angin dan dibawa ke Laut Gelagah. Seekor pun tak ada yang tertinggal di seluruh tanah Mesir.
20 And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharao, and he did not send away the children of Israel.
Tetapi TUHAN menjadikan raja keras kepala, dan ia tidak membiarkan orang Israel pergi.
21 And the Lord said to Moses, Stretch out your hand to heaven, and let there be darkness over the land of Egypt—darkness that may be felt.
TUHAN berkata kepada Musa, "Angkatlah tanganmu ke atas, maka tanah Mesir akan diliputi gelap gulita."
22 And Moses stretched out his hand to heaven, and there was darkness very black, even a storm over all the land of Egypt three days.
Musa mengangkat tangannya ke atas, dan selama tiga hari seluruh tanah Mesir diliputi gelap gulita.
23 And for three days no man saw his brother, and no man rose up from his bed for three days: but all the children of Israel had light in all the places where they were.
Orang Mesir tidak dapat melihat apa-apa dan selama waktu itu tak seorang pun pergi ke mana-mana. Tetapi di rumah-rumah orang Israel tetap terang.
24 And Pharao called Moses and Aaron, saying, Go, serve the Lord your God, only leave your sheep and your oxen, and let your store depart with you.
Lalu raja memanggil Musa dan berkata, "Kamu boleh pergi beribadat kepada Tuhanmu. Orang-orang perempuan dan anak-anak boleh ikut. Tetapi sapi, domba, dan kambingmu tak boleh dibawa."
25 And Moses said, Nay, but you shall give to us whole burnt offerings and sacrifices, which we will sacrifice to the Lord our God.
Musa menjawab, "Kalau begitu Tuanku harus memberi kami ternak untuk persembahan dan untuk kurban bakaran kepada TUHAN, Allah kami.
26 And our cattle shall go with us, and we will not leave a hoof behind, for of them we will take to serve the Lord our God: but we know not in what manner we shall serve the Lord our God, until we arrive there.
Semua ternak kami harus kami bawa; seekor pun tak akan kami tinggalkan. Dari ternak itu kami pilih mana yang akan dipersembahkan kepada TUHAN Allah kami. Baru di sana kami akan tahu ternak mana yang akan kami persembahkan."
27 But the Lord hardened the heart of Pharao, and he would not let them go.
TUHAN menjadikan raja keras kepala sehingga ia tak mau mengizinkan bangsa Israel pergi.
28 And Pharao says, Depart from me, beware of seeing my face again, for in what day you shall appear before me, you shall die.
Kata raja kepada Musa, "Pergilah dari hadapanku! Jangan sampai kulihat engkau lagi! Kalau sampai kulihat lagi mukamu, engkau akan mati!"
29 And Moses says, You have said, I will not appear in your presence again.
"Seperti kata Tuanku," kata Musa, "Tuanku pasti tidak akan melihat saya lagi."
