Exodus 10
1 And Jehovah said to Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh; for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his bondmen, that I might do these my signs in their midst,
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 that thou mightest tell in the ears of thy son and thy son's son what I have wrought in Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah.
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 And Moses and Aaron came to Pharaoh, and said to him, Thus saith Jehovah the God of the Hebrews: How long dost thou refuse to humble thyself before me? let my people go, that they may serve me.
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 thou refuse to let my people go, behold, I will to-morrow bring locusts into thy borders;
Apabila engkau tetap menolak, maka besok Aku akan mendatangkan belalang ke negerimu.
5 and they shall cover the face of the land, so that ye will not be able to see the land; and they shall eat the residue of that which is escaped, which ye have remaining from the hail, and shall eat every tree which ye have growing in the field;
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 they shall fill thy houses, and the houses of all thy bondmen, and the houses of all the Egyptians; which neither thy fathers nor thy fathers' fathers have seen, since the day that they were upon the earth unto this day. And he turned and 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 bondmen said to him, How long shall this man be a snare to us? let the men go, that they may serve Jehovah their God: dost thou not yet know that Egypt is ruined?
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 And Moses and Aaron were brought again to Pharaoh. And he said to them, Go, serve Jehovah your God. Who are they that shall go?
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 with our old, with our sons and with our daughters; with our flocks and with our herds will we go; for we have a feast of Jehovah.
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, Let Jehovah be so with you, as I let you go, and your little ones: see that evil is before you!
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: go now, ye [that are] men, and serve Jehovah! for it is that ye have desired. And they were driven out from Pharaoh's presence.
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 Jehovah said to Moses, Stretch out thy hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up over the land of Egypt, and eat every herb of the land — all that the hail hath left.
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 stretched out his staff over the land of Egypt, and Jehovah brought an east wind on the land all that day and all that night. When it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts.
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, and rested in all the borders of Egypt, very grievous; before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after them will be such.
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 And they covered the face of the whole land, so that the land was darkened; and they ate every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees that the hail had left; and there remained not any green thing on the trees, and in the herbs of the field, throughout 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 And Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron in haste; and he said, I have sinned against Jehovah your God, and against you.
Raja segera memanggil Musa dan Harun dan berkata kepada mereka “Saya sudah berdosa terhadap ‘Tuhan’ dan terhadap kalian.
17 And now, forgive, I pray you, my sin only this time, and intreat Jehovah your God that he may 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 And he went out from Pharaoh, and intreated Jehovah.
Musa meninggalkan raja dan memohon kepada TUHAN.
19 And Jehovah turned a very powerful west wind, which took away the locusts, and drove them into the Red Sea: there remained not one locust in all the borders 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 And Jehovah made Pharaoh's heart stubborn, 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 Jehovah said to Moses, Stretch out thy hand toward the heavens, that there may be darkness in the land of Egypt — so that one may feel darkness.
Lalu TUHAN berkata kepada Musa, “Angkatlah tanganmu ke arah langit, maka kegelapan yang sangat dahsyat akan meliputi seluruh negeri Mesir.”
22 And Moses stretched out his hand toward the heavens; and there was a thick darkness throughout the land of Egypt three days:
Musa mengangkat tangannya ke langit dan gelap gulita menyelimuti seluruh Mesir selama tiga hari.
23 they saw not one another, neither rose any from his place, for three days. But all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.
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 And Pharaoh called Moses and said, Go, serve Jehovah; only, let your flocks and your herds remain; let your little ones also 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 And Moses said, Thou must give also sacrifices and burnt-offerings into our hands, that we may sacrifice to Jehovah our God.
Jawab Musa, “Engkau harus membiarkan kami membawa kurban bakaran agar kami mempersembahkannya kepada TUHAN Allah kami.
26 Our cattle also must go with us: there shall not a hoof be left behind; for we must take thereof to serve Jehovah our God; and we do not know with what we must serve Jehovah, until we come there.
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 Jehovah made Pharaoh's heart stubborn, and he would not let them go.
Namun, TUHAN mengeraskan hati raja sehingga dia tidak membiarkan mereka pergi.
28 And Pharaoh said to him, Get thee from me, take heed to thyself, see my face no more; for in the day thou seest my face thou shalt die.
Raja berkata kepada Musa, “Pergi kamu! Jangan pernah melihat mukaku lagi! Kalau kamu berani-berani datang, kamu pasti mati!”
29 And Moses said, Thou hast spoken rightly: I will see thy face again no more!
Jawab Musa, “Terjadilah sesuai perkataanmu! Saya tidak akan pernah melihat mukamu lagi!”
