Exodus 6

1 But the Lord told Moses, “Now you'll see what I'm going to do to Pharaoh. Using my great strength I will force him to let them go; because of my power he will send them out from his country.”

Lalu TUHAN berkata kepada Musa, “Sekarang kamu akan melihat apa yang akan Aku lakukan terhadap raja Mesir. Aku akan memaksanya untuk membiarkan umat-Ku pergi, bahkan dia akan mengusir mereka keluar dari negerinya.”

2 God spoke to Moses and told him, “I am Yahweh!

Lagi kata TUHAN kepada Musa, “Akulah TUHAN.

3 I revealed myself as God Almighty to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, but they didn't know my name, ‘Yahweh.’

Aku sudah menyatakan diri kepada Abraham, Isak, dan Yakub sebagai Allah Yang Mahakuasa, tetapi Aku tidak memperkenalkan nama-Ku, TUHAN, kepada mereka.

4 I also confirmed my solemn agreement with them to give them the land of Canaan, the country where they were living as foreigners.

Aku juga sudah mengadakan perjanjian dengan mereka. Aku berjanji akan memberikan kepada mereka negeri Kanaan, di mana mereka dulu hidup sebagai pendatang.

5 In addition I've heard the groans of the Israelites that the Egyptians are treating as slaves, and I haven't forgotten the agreement I promised them.

Aku pun sudah mendengar keluh kesah umat Israel yang diperbudak bangsa Mesir, dan Aku mengingat perjanjian-Ku.

6 So tell the Israelites, ‘I am the Lord and I will save you from the forced labor the Egyptians are making you do; I will set you free from being their slaves. I will rescue you using my power and imposing heavy punishments.

“Karena itu, sampaikanlah kepada umat Israel, ‘Akulah TUHAN. Aku akan membawa kalian keluar dari perbudakan bangsa Mesir. Aku akan menghukum bangsa Mesir dengan hukuman berat, dan dengan kuasa-Ku, Aku akan membebaskan kalian.

7 I will make you my own people. Then you will know that I am the Lord your God, who rescued you from slavery in Egypt.

Aku akan mengangkat kalian sebagai umat-Ku, dan Aku akan menjadi Allah kalian. Kalian akan tahu bahwa Akulah TUHAN Allahmu yang sudah membebaskan kalian dari perbudakan bangsa Mesir.

8 I will take you to the land that I solemnly promised to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I will give it to you to own. I am the Lord!’”

Aku akan membawa kalian ke negeri yang Aku janjikan dengan bersumpah kepada Abraham, Isak, dan Yakub. Aku akan memberikan negeri itu kepada kalian sebagai milikmu sendiri. Akulah TUHAN.’”

9 Moses explained this to the Israelites but they did not listen to him, because they were so discouraged and because of the hard labor they were forced to do.

Musa menyampaikan semua pesan itu kepada bangsa Israel, tetapi mereka tidak mau percaya, karena terlalu tertekan oleh perbudakan yang kejam dan sudah sangat putus asa.

10 Then the Lord said to Moses,

Kemudian TUHAN berkata kepada Musa,

11 “Go and speak to Pharaoh, king of Egypt. Tell him to let the Israelites leave his country.”

“Pergilah menghadap raja Mesir dan katakan kepadanya bahwa dia harus membiarkan umat Israel pergi dari negerinya.”

12 But Moses replied, “Even my own people don't listen to me. Why would Pharaoh listen to me, especially since I'm such a poor speaker?”

Musa menjawab, “Tetapi selama ini umat Israel pun tidak mendengarkan aku, apalagi raja Mesir! Mana mungkin dia mendengarkan aku, orang yang tidak pandai bicara ini!”

13 But the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, and told them what to do regarding the people of Israel and Pharaoh, king of Egypt, in order to bring the Israelites out of Egypt.

Meski demikian, TUHAN tetap mengutus Musa dan Harun kepada umat Israel dan raja Mesir dengan perintah untuk memimpin umat Israel keluar dari Mesir.

27 Moses and Aaron were also the ones who went to speak with Pharaoh, king of Egypt, about the Israelites leaving Egypt.

Kedua orang itulah yang berbicara kepada raja Mesir untuk membawa umat Israel keluar dari negeri Mesir.

28 When the Lord spoke to Moses in Egypt,

TUHAN berkata kepada Musa di Mesir,

29 he said to him, “I am the Lord. Tell Pharaoh, king of Egypt, all that I tell you.”

“Akulah TUHAN! Beritahukanlah kepada raja Mesir segala pesan yang Aku sampaikan kepadamu.”

30 But Moses replied, “I'm not a good speaker—why would Pharaoh listen to me?”

Namun, Musa menjawab TUHAN, “Aku tidak pandai berbicara. Raja pasti tidak akan mendengarkan aku!”
