Exodus 9
1 And Jehovah said to Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus saith Jehovah the God of the Hebrews: Let my people go, that they may serve me.
TUHAN berkata kepada Musa, “Pergilah menghadap raja dan sampaikan bahwa TUHAN, Allah umat Israel, berkata, ‘Biarkanlah umat-Ku pergi agar mereka dapat menyembah-Ku!
2 For if thou refuse to let them go, and shalt retain them still,
Jika engkau menolak dan tetap menahan mereka,
3 behold, the hand of Jehovah shall be on thy cattle which is in the field, on the horses, on the asses, on the camels, on the oxen and on the sheep, with a very grievous plague.
maka dengan kuasa-Ku, Aku akan mendatangkan wabah penyakit yang sangat parah atas ternakmu, yaitu kuda, keledai, unta, domba, kambing, dan sapi.
4 And Jehovah will distinguish between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt; and there shall nothing die of all that the children of Israel have.
Dalam wabah ini, Aku akan membedakan ternak milik umat Israel dari ternak milik orang Mesir. Tidak seekor pun ternak milik umat Israel yang akan mati.’”
5 And Jehovah appointed a set time, saying, To-morrow will Jehovah do this thing in the land.
TUHAN juga menentukan waktu terjadinya wabah itu. Dia berkata kepada Musa, “Aku akan melakukan bencana ini besok.”
6 And Jehovah did this thing on the following day, and all the cattle of Egypt died; but of the cattle of the children of Israel died not one.
Keesokan harinya, TUHAN menepati perkataan-Nya itu. Semua ternak milik orang Mesir mati, tetapi tidak satu pun ternak orang Israel yang mati.
7 And Pharaoh sent, and behold, there was not one of the cattle of the Israelites dead. But the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the people go.
Lalu raja mengirim utusannya untuk menyelidiki, dan benarlah demikian, bahwa tidak ada satu pun ternak umat Israel yang mati. Meski begitu, raja mengeraskan hatinya dan tidak mau membiarkan mereka pergi.
8 And Jehovah said to Moses and to Aaron, Take to yourselves handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses scatter it toward the heavens before the eyes of Pharaoh.
Lalu TUHAN berkata kepada Musa dan Harun, “Ambillah beberapa genggam abu dari tempat pembakaran. Musa harus melemparkan abu itu ke udara di hadapan raja.
9 And it shall become fine dust over all the land of Egypt, and shall become boils on man and on cattle, breaking out [with] blisters, throughout the land of Egypt.
Abu itu akan menjadi debu halus yang akan tersebar ke seluruh Mesir dan menyebabkan bisul-bisul bernanah pada manusia dan binatang di seluruh Mesir.”
10 And they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it toward the heavens; and it became boils [with] blisters breaking out on man and on cattle.
Maka Musa dan Harun mengambil abu dari tempat pembakaran dan menghadap raja. Musa melemparkan abu itu ke udara, lalu timbullah bisul-bisul bernanah pada kulit semua orang dan binatang di Mesir. Mereka sangat menderita, bahkan para ahli sihir tidak sanggup berdiri di hadapan Musa karena kesakitan akibat bisul bernanah itu.
11 And the scribes could not stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boils were on the scribes, and on all the Egyptians.
12 And Jehovah made Pharaoh's heart stubborn, and he did not hearken to them, as Jehovah had told Moses.
Tetapi TUHAN mengeraskan hati raja, dan seperti yang sudah TUHAN katakan sebelumnya, raja tetap tidak menghiraukan perkataan Musa dan Harun.
13 And Jehovah said to Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and set thyself before Pharaoh, and say to him, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of the Hebrews: Let my people go, that they may serve me.
Kemudian TUHAN berkata kepada Musa, “Besok, bangunlah pagi-pagi dan pergilah menghadap raja Mesir. Katakanlah kepadanya, ‘TUHAN, Allah umat Israel, berkata: Biarkanlah umat-Ku pergi agar mereka dapat menyembah-Ku.
14 For I will at this time send all my plagues to thy heart, and on thy bondmen, and on thy people; that thou mayest know that there is none like me in all the earth.
Kalau tidak, maka kali ini Aku akan mendatangkan bencana yang lebih hebat lagi kepadamu, para pegawaimu, dan rakyatmu, agar engkau tahu bahwa tidak ada yang seperti Aku di seluruh bumi ini.
15 For now shall I put forth my hand, and I will smite thee and thy people with pestilence; and thou shalt be cut off from the earth.
Aku bisa saja menggunakan kuasa-Ku untuk menyerang engkau dan rakyatmu dengan penyakit serta melenyapkan kalian dari muka bumi.
16 And for this very cause have I raised thee up, to shew thee my power; and that my name may be declared in all the earth.
Tetapi Aku membiarkan engkau hidup untuk tujuan ini, yaitu menunjukkan kuasa-Ku kepadamu. Dengan demikian, nama-Ku akan dimuliakan di seluruh bumi.
17 Dost thou still exalt thyself against my people, that thou wilt not let them go?
Meskipun demikian, engkau masih saja sombong dan tidak membiarkan umat-Ku pergi.
18 Behold, to-morrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as hath not been in Egypt since its foundation until now.
Besok, sekitar waktu yang sama seperti sekarang, Aku akan menurunkan hujan es yang sangat dahsyat, yang belum pernah terjadi sebelumnya di seluruh Mesir.
19 And now send, [and] secure thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field: all the men and the cattle that are found in the field, and are not brought home — on them the hail shall come down, and they shall die.
Karena itu, bawalah seluruh ternak kalian yang berada di padang untuk berlindung ke tempat yang aman. Setiap orang dan binatang yang masih di padang akan mati tertimpa hujan es!’”
20 He that feared the word of Jehovah among the bondmen of Pharaoh made his bondmen and his cattle flee into the houses.
Maka para pejabat raja yang takut akan perkataan TUHAN segera membawa masuk semua budak dan ternak mereka untuk berlindung.
21 But he that did not regard the word of Jehovah left his bondmen and his cattle in the field.
Tetapi orang-orang yang tidak menghiraukan perkataan TUHAN membiarkan budak dan ternak mereka di padang.
22 And Jehovah said to Moses, Stretch out thy hand toward the heavens, that there may be hail throughout the land of Egypt, upon men, and upon cattle, and upon every herb of the field in the land of Egypt.
Lalu TUHAN berkata kepada Musa, “Arahkanlah tanganmu ke langit, agar hujan es turun di seluruh Mesir menimpa setiap orang, binatang, dan tanaman di padang.”
23 And Moses stretched out his staff toward the heavens, and Jehovah gave thunder and hail; and the fire ran along the ground; and Jehovah rained hail on the land of Egypt.
Musa mengarahkan tongkatnya ke langit, dan TUHAN menurunkan hujan es di seluruh tanah Mesir disertai guntur dan petir yang menyambar-nyambar ke tanah.
24 And there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as there had been none like it in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.
Sepanjang sejarah bangsa Mesir, belum pernah terjadi hujan es yang turun terus-menerus beserta sambaran petir seperti ini.
25 And the hail smote throughout the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both men and cattle; and the hail smote every herb of the field, and broke every tree of the field.
Hujan es menghantam semua yang ada di ladang di seluruh Mesir, baik manusia, binatang, tanaman, maupun pepohonan.
26 Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, was there no hail.
Hanya Gosyen, tempat tinggal umat Israel, yang tidak terkena hujan es.
27 And Pharaoh sent, and called Moses and Aaron, and said to them, I have sinned this time: Jehovah is the righteous [one], but I and my people are the wicked [ones].
Lalu raja memanggil Musa dan Harun untuk menghadap dia dan berkata, “Kali ini saya mengaku sudah berdosa. Dewamu memang benar, dan saya beserta seluruh rakyat saya bersalah.
28 Intreat Jehovah that it may be enough, that there be no more thunder of God and hail; and I will let you go, and ye shall stay no longer!
Mintalah kepada dewamu untuk menghentikan hujan es dan guntur yang dahsyat ini! Kami tidak tahan lagi. Saya akan membiarkan kalian pergi. Kalian tidak usah tinggal lebih lama lagi.”
29 And Moses said to him, When I go out of the city, I will spread out my hands to Jehovah: the thunder will cease, and there will be no more hail; that thou mayest know that the earth is Jehovah's.
Jawab Musa kepada raja, “Baik. Ketika saya meninggalkan kota ini, saya akan mengangkat tangan kepada TUHAN. Guntur akan berhenti dan tidak akan ada hujan es lagi, agar kalian tahu bahwa bumi adalah milik TUHAN.
30 But as to thee and thy bondmen, I know that ye do not yet fear Jehovah Elohim.
Tetapi saya tahu bahwa engkau dan pejabatmu masih tidak takut kepada TUHAN Allah.”
31 And the flax and the barley were smitten; for the barley was in the ear, and the flax was bolled.
Pada waktu itu, jelai sudah hampir siap panen dan rami sedang berbunga. Jadi, hujan es menggagalkan panen tanaman-tanaman tersebut.
32 But the wheat and the spelt were not smitten; for they were not come out into ear.
Akan tetapi, gandum dan sekoi tidak rusak karena belum musimnya.
33 And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread out his hands to Jehovah; and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not [any more] poured on the earth.
Kemudian Musa meninggalkan raja. Dia pergi ke luar kota dan mengangkat tangannya kepada TUHAN. Maka berhentilah guntur, hujan, dan hujan es itu.
34 And Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders had ceased, and he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he, and his bondmen.
Ketika raja melihat bahwa hujan, hujan es, dan guntur sudah berhenti, dia dan para pejabatnya pun berdosa lagi dengan mengeraskan hati mereka.
35 And the heart of Pharaoh was stubborn, neither would he let the children of Israel go, as Jehovah had spoken by Moses.
Raja tetap tidak membiarkan umat Israel pergi, sesuai dengan yang sudah TUHAN katakan kepada Musa.
