Exodus 10
1 And YHWH said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh: for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I might shew these my signs before him:
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 And that thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son, and of thy son's son, what things I have wrought in Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; that ye may know how that I am YHWH.
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 came in unto Pharaoh, and said unto him, Thus saith YHWH Elohim of the Hebrews, How long wilt thou refuse to humble thyself before me? let my people go, 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 Else, if thou refuse to let my people go, behold, to morrow will I bring the locusts into thy coast:
Kalau engkau masih juga menolak, maka besok akan Kudatangkan belalang ke negerimu.
5 And they shall cover the face of the earth, that one cannot be able to see the earth: and they shall eat the residue of that which is escaped, which remaineth unto you from the hail, and shall eat every tree which groweth for you out of the field:
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 they shall fill thy houses, and the houses of all thy servants, 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 himself, and went out from Pharaoh.
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 Pharaoh's servants said unto him, How long shall this man be a snare unto us? let the men go, that they may serve YHWH their Elohim: knowest thou not yet 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 Moses and Aaron were brought again unto Pharaoh: and he said unto them, Go, serve YHWH your Elohim: but who are they that shall go?
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 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 must hold a feast unto YHWH.
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 unto them, Let YHWH be so with you, as I will let you go, and your little ones: look to it; for evil is before 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: go now ye that are men, and serve YHWH; for that ye did desire. And they were driven out from Pharaoh's presence.
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 YHWH said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up upon the land of Egypt, and eat every herb of the land, even all that the hail hath 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 stretched forth his rod over the land of Egypt, and YHWH brought an east wind upon the land all that day, and all that night; and when it was morning, the east wind brought 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 the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested in all the coasts of Egypt: very grievous were they; before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after them shall be such.
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 For they covered the face of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened; and they did eat every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left: and there remained not any green thing in the trees, or in the herbs of the field, through 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 Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste; and he said, I have sinned against YHWH your Elohim, and against you.
Raja segera memanggil Musa dan Harun lalu berkata, "Aku telah berdosa terhadap TUHAN Allahmu dan terhadap kamu.
17 Now therefore forgive, I pray thee, my sin only this once, and intreat YHWH your Elohim, that he may take away from me this death only.
Ampunilah dosaku untuk kali ini, dan berdoalah kepada TUHAN Allahmu, supaya Ia mengambil daripadaku hukuman yang menewaskan ini."
18 And he went out from Pharaoh, and intreated YHWH.
Musa meninggalkan raja dan berdoa kepada TUHAN.
19 And YHWH turned a mighty strong west wind, which took away the locusts, and cast them into the Red sea; there remained not one locust in all the coasts 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 But YHWH hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go.
Tetapi TUHAN menjadikan raja keras kepala, dan ia tidak membiarkan orang Israel pergi.
21 And YHWH said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt.
TUHAN berkata kepada Musa, "Angkatlah tanganmu ke atas, maka tanah Mesir akan diliputi gelap gulita."
22 And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days:
Musa mengangkat tangannya ke atas, dan selama tiga hari seluruh tanah Mesir diliputi gelap gulita.
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.
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 Pharaoh called unto Moses, and said, Go ye, serve YHWH; only let your flocks and your herds be stayed: let your little ones also go 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, Thou must give us also sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice unto YHWH our Elohim.
Musa menjawab, "Kalau begitu Tuanku harus memberi kami ternak untuk persembahan dan untuk kurban bakaran kepada TUHAN, Allah kami.
26 Our cattle also shall go with us; there shall not an hoof be left behind; for thereof must we take to serve YHWH our Elohim; and we know not with what we must serve YHWH, until we come thither.
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 YHWH hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he would not let them go.
TUHAN menjadikan raja keras kepala sehingga ia tak mau mengizinkan bangsa Israel pergi.
28 And Pharaoh said unto him, Get thee from me, take heed to thyself, see my face no more; for in that day thou seest my face thou shalt die.
Kata raja kepada Musa, "Pergilah dari hadapanku! Jangan sampai kulihat engkau lagi! Kalau sampai kulihat lagi mukamu, engkau akan mati!"
29 And Moses said, Thou hast spoken well, I will see thy face again no more.
"Seperti kata Tuanku," kata Musa, "Tuanku pasti tidak akan melihat saya lagi."
