Exodus 9
1 And the Lord said to Moses: Go in to Pharao, and speak to him: Thus saith the Lord God of the Hebrews: Let my people go to sacrifice to me.
TUHAN berkata kepada Musa, "Pergilah menghadap raja, dan katakan kepadanya bahwa TUHAN, Allah orang Ibrani, berkata: 'Biarkanlah umat-Ku pergi supaya mereka dapat berbakti kepada-Ku.
2 But if thou refuse, and withhold them still:
Kalau engkau tak mau melepaskan mereka,
3 Behold my hand shall be upon thy fields: and a very grievous murrain upon thy horses, and asses, and camels, and oxen, and sheep.
Aku akan mendatangkan wabah yang dahsyat atas semua ternakmu, kuda, keledai, unta, sapi, domba dan kambingmu.
4 And the Lord will make a wonderful difference between the possessions of Israel and the possessions of the Egyptians, that nothing at all shall die of those things that belong to the children of Israel.
Aku akan membedakan ternak orang Israel dan ternak orang Mesir. Dari ternak orang Israel tak seekor pun yang akan mati.
5 And the Lord appointed a time, saying: Tomorrow will the Lord do this thing in the land.
Aku, TUHAN, menetapkan hari esok untuk melaksanakan hal itu.'"
6 The Lord therefore did this thing the next day: and all the beasts of the Egyptians died, but of the beasts of the children of Israel there died not one.
Keesokan harinya TUHAN berbuat seperti yang sudah dikatakan-Nya. Semua ternak bangsa Mesir mati, tetapi dari ternak bangsa Israel seekor pun tak ada yang mati.
7 And Pharao sent to see: and there was not any thing dead of that which Israel possessed. And Pharao’s heart was hardened, and he did not let the people go.
Raja menanyakan apa yang telah terjadi, lalu diceritakan kepadanya bahwa dari ternak orang Israel tak seekor pun yang mati. Tetapi raja berkeras kepala dan tidak mau melepaskan bangsa itu pergi.
8 And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron: Take to you handfuls of ashes out of the chimney, and let Moses sprinkle it in the air in the presence of Pharao.
TUHAN berkata kepada Musa dan Harun, "Ambillah beberapa genggam abu dari tempat pembakaran. Di depan raja, Musa harus menghamburkan abu itu ke udara.
9 And be there dust upon all the land of Egypt: for there shall be boils and swelling blains both in men and beasts in the whole land of Egypt.
Maka abu itu akan tersebar ke seluruh tanah Mesir. Pada manusia dan binatang abu itu akan menimbulkan bisul-bisul yang pecah menjadi luka bernanah."
10 And they took ashes out of the chimney, and stood before Pharao, and Moses sprinkled it in the air: and there came boils with swelling blains in men and beasts.
Lalu Musa dan Harun mengambil abu, dan menghadap raja. Musa menghamburkan abu itu ke udara. Pada manusia dan binatang timbullah bisul-bisul yang pecah menjadi luka bernanah.
11 Neither could the magicians stand before Moses for the boils that were upon them, and in all the land of Egypt.
Para ahli sihir tidak bisa menghadap Musa karena seluruh badan mereka penuh bisul seperti orang-orang Mesir lainnya.
12 And the Lord hardened Pharao’s heart, and he hearkened not unto them, as the Lord had spoken to Moses.
Tetapi TUHAN menjadikan raja keras kepala, dan seperti yang sudah dikatakan TUHAN, raja tidak mau mempedulikan perkataan Musa dan Harun.
13 And the Lord said to Moses: Arise in the morning, and stand before Pharao, and thou shalt say to him: Thus saith the Lord the God of the Hebrews: Let my people go to sacrifice to me.
TUHAN berkata kepada Musa, "Pergilah besok pagi-pagi sekali menghadap raja, dan sampaikan kepadanya bahwa TUHAN, Allah orang Ibrani berkata: 'Lepaskan umat-Ku supaya mereka dapat pergi beribadat kepada-Ku.
14 For I will at this time send all my plagues upon thy heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people: that thou mayst know there is none like me in all the earth.
Kali ini Aku akan mendatangkan bencana tidak hanya kepada para pejabat dan rakyat saja, tetapi juga kepadamu, supaya engkau tahu bahwa tidak ada tandingan-Ku di seluruh dunia.
15 For now I will stretch out my hand to strike thee, and thy people with pestilence, and thou shalt perish from the earth.
Sekiranya Aku mau menghukum engkau dan rakyatmu dengan penyakit, pasti kamu sudah binasa sama sekali.
16 And therefore have I raised thee, that I may shew my power in thee, and my name may be spoken of throughout all the earth.
Tetapi kamu Kubiarkan hidup, supaya Aku dapat menunjukkan kekuasaan-Ku kepadamu, sehingga nama-Ku menjadi termasyhur di seluruh bumi.
17 Dost thou yet hold back my people: and wilt thou not let them go?
Meskipun begitu, engkau masih juga tinggi hati dan tidak mau mengizinkan umat-Ku pergi.
18 Behold I will cause it to rain tomorrow at this same hour, an exceeding great hail: such as hath not been in Egypt from the day that it was founded, until this present time.
Besok pagi, pada saat yang sama, Aku akan mendatangkan hujan es yang dahsyat, seperti yang belum pernah terjadi di Mesir dari dahulu sampai sekarang.
19 Send therefore now presently, and gather together thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field: for men and beasts, and all things that shall be found abroad, and not gathered together out of the fields, which the hail shall fall upon, shall die.
Maka perintahkanlah supaya semua ternak dan segala milikmu yang ada di luar dibawa ke tempat yang aman. Semua orang dan ternak yang ada di luar dan tak dapat berlindung akan mati ditimpa hujan es.'"
20 He that feared the word of the Lord among Pharao’s servants, made his servants and his cattle flee into houses:
Beberapa di antara para pejabat takut kepada perkataan TUHAN. Mereka membawa hamba-hamba dan ternak mereka masuk ke dalam rumah supaya terlindung.
21 But he that regarded not the word of the Lord, left his servants and his cattle in the fields:
Tetapi yang lain tidak mengindahkan peringatan itu dan meninggalkan hamba-hamba dan ternak mereka di padang.
22 And the Lord said to Moses: Stretch forth thy hand towards heaven, that there may be hail in the whole land of Egypt, upon men, and upon beasts, and upon every herb of the field in the land of Egypt.
Lalu TUHAN berkata kepada Musa, "Angkatlah tanganmu ke atas, dan hujan es akan turun di seluruh tanah Mesir. Hujan itu akan menimpa manusia, ternak dan segala tanaman di ladang."
23 And Moses stretched forth his rod towards heaven, and the Lord sent thunder and hail, and lightning running along the ground: and the Lord rained hail upon the land of Egypt.
Musa mengangkat tongkatnya ke atas, dan TUHAN menurunkan guruh dan hujan es, dan petir menyambar bumi. TUHAN mendatangkan
24 And the hail and fire mixed with it drove on together: and it was of so great bigness, as never before was seen in the whole land of Egypt since that nation was founded.
hujan es yang dahsyat disertai petir yang sambar-menyambar. Itulah hujan es yang paling dahsyat dalam sejarah Mesir.
25 And the hail destroyed through all the land of Egypt all things that were in the fields, both man and beast: and the hail smote every herb of the field, and it broke every tree of the country.
Di seluruh negeri hujan es itu membinasakan segala sesuatu di ladang, termasuk manusia dan ternak. Semua tanaman di ladang rusak dan pohon-pohon ditumbangkan.
26 Only in the land of Gessen, where the children of Israel were, the hail fell not.
Hanya daerah Gosyen, tempat kediaman orang-orang Israel, tidak ditimpa hujan es.
27 And Pharao sent and called Moses and Aaron, saying to them: I have sinned this time also; the Lord is just: I and my people are wicked.
Lalu raja memanggil Musa dan Harun, dan berkata, "Aku telah berdosa. Tuhanlah yang benar, aku dan rakyatku telah berbuat salah.
28 Pray ye to the Lord, that the thunderings of God and the hail may cease: that I may let you go, and that you may stay here no longer.
Berdoalah kepada TUHAN; kami sudah cukup menderita karena guruh dan hujan es ini. Aku akan melepas kamu pergi. Kamu tak usah tinggal di sini lagi."
29 Moses said: As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will stretch forth my hands to the Lord, and the thunders shall cease, and the hail shall be no more: that thou mayst know that the earth is the Lord’s.
Kata Musa kepada raja, "Segera sesudah saya sampai di luar kota, saya akan mengangkat tangan untuk berdoa kepada TUHAN. Guruh akan berhenti dan hujan es akan reda, supaya Tuanku tahu bahwa bumi ini milik TUHAN.
30 But I know that neither thou, nor thy servants do yet fear the Lord God.
Tetapi saya tahu bahwa Tuanku dan para pejabat belum juga takut kepada TUHAN Allah."
31 The flax therefore and the barley were hurt, because the barley was green, and the flax was now boiled:
Tanaman rami dan jelai musnah, karena rami sedang berbunga, dan jelai sedang berbulir.
32 But the wheat, and other winter corn were not hurt, because they were lateward.
Tetapi gandum dan biji-bijian tidak rusak karena belum musimnya.
33 And when Moses was gone from Pharao out of the city, he stretched forth his hands to the Lord: and the thunders and the hail ceased, neither did there drop any more rain upon the earth.
Lalu Musa meninggalkan raja dan pergi ke luar kota; di sana ia mengangkat tangannya untuk berdoa kepada TUHAN. Saat itu juga berhentilah guntur, hujan es dan hujan.
34 And Pharao seeing that the rain and the hail, and the thunders were ceased, increased his sin.
Ketika raja melihat apa yang terjadi, ia berdosa lagi. Dia dan para pejabatnya tetap berkeras kepala.
35 And his heart was hardened, and the heart of his servants, and it was made exceeding hard: neither did he let the children of Israel go, as the Lord had commanded by the hand of Moses.
Seperti yang sudah dikatakan TUHAN melalui Musa, raja tidak mau mengizinkan orang Israel pergi.
