Exodus 15
1 Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song to God, and spoke, saying, Let us sing to the Lord, for he is very greatly glorified: horse and rider he has thrown into the sea.
Kemudian Musa dan umat Israel menyanyikan lagu ini untuk memuji TUHAN, “Aku akan bernyanyi bagi TUHAN sebab Dia sudah menang dengan jaya. Dia sudah melemparkan kuda dan penunggangnya ke dalam laut.
2 He was to me a helper and protector for salvation: this is my God and I will glorify him; my father's God, and I will exalt him.
TUHAN adalah sumber kekuatanku, karena itu aku bernyanyi. Dialah yang menyelamatkan aku. Dialah Allah yang akan aku puji. Dialah Allah yang disembah ayahku dan nenek moyangku. Aku akan meninggikan Dia!
3 The Lord bringing wars to nothing, the Lord [is] his name.
TUHAN adalah pahlawan perang. Nama-Nya adalah TUHAN.
4 He has cast the chariots of Pharao and his host into the sea, the chosen mounted captains: they were swallowed up in the Red Sea.
Dia sudah melemparkan kereta-kereta raja Mesir dan segenap pasukannya ke dalam laut. Perwira-perwira terbaik ditenggelamkan-Nya ke Laut Merah.
5 He covered them with the sea: they sank to the depth like a stone.
Laut yang dalam menelan mereka. Seperti batu mereka tenggelam ke dasar laut.
6 Your right hand, O God, has been glorified in strength; your right hand, O God, has broken the enemies.
Tangan kanan-Mu, ya TUHAN, hebat penuh kuasa. Tangan kanan-Mu, ya TUHAN, menghancurkan semua musuh.
7 And in the abundance of your glory you have broken the adversaries to pieces: you sent forth your wrath, it devoured them as stubble.
Ketika Engkau membinasakan musuh-musuh-Mu Engkau mendapat kehormatan besar. Engkau melepaskan api murka-Mu dan membakar mereka bagai rumput kering belaka.
8 And by the breath of your anger the water parted asunder; the waters were congealed as a wall, the waves were congealed in the midst of the sea.
Oleh hembusan nafas-Mu, air laut menggulung tinggi, berdiri tegak seperti tembok, dan dasar laut menjadi kering.
9 The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoils; I will satisfy my soul, I will destroy with my sword, my hand shall have dominion.
Musuh kami berkata, ‘Aku akan mengejar dan menangkap mereka. Aku akan membunuh mereka dengan pedang. Lalu aku merampas semua harta mereka, membagi-bagikannya, dan menikmatinya sampai puas.’
10 You sent forth your wind, the sea covered them; they sank like lead in the mighty water.
Tetapi dengan hembusan nafas-Mu, laut menggulung mereka. Mereka tenggelam bagaikan sepotong besi di dalam gelora air yang dahsyat.
11 Who is like to you among the gods, O Lord? who is like to you? glorified in holiness, marvelous in glories, doing wonders.
Tidak ada penguasa seperti Engkau, ya TUHAN! Engkau hebat dalam kekudusan-Mu, dikagumi dan dipuji karena perbuatan-Mu yang menakjubkan. Engkau pembuat keajaiban.
12 You stretched forth your right hand, the earth swallowed them up.
Engkau merentangkan tangan kanan-Mu, dan bumi pun menelan mereka.
13 You have guided in your righteousness this your people whom you have redeemed, by your strength you have called them into your holy resting-place.
Karena Engkau setia dan berbaik hati, Engkau memimpin orang-orang yang sudah Engkau tebus. Dengan kekuatan-Mu, Engkau menuntun mereka menuju tempat kediaman-Mu yang kudus.
14 The nations heard and were angry, pangs have seized on the dwellers among the Phylistines.
Bangsa-bangsa lain akan mendengar perbuatan-Mu, dan mereka akan gemetar. Penduduk Filistin akan dilanda ketakutan.
15 Then the princes of Edom, and the chiefs of the Moabites hasted; trembling took hold upon them, all the inhabitants of Chanaan melted away.
Para pemimpin Edom akan terguncang. Para pemimpin Moab akan gemetar. Orang Kanaan akan lemas karena kegentaran.
16 Let trembling and fear fall upon them; by the greatness of your arm, let them become as stone; till your people pass over, O Lord, till this your people pass over, whom you have purchased.
Mereka akan merasa ngeri dan ketakutan menyaksikan kuasa-Mu, dan mereka akan terdiam seperti batu sampai umat-Mu yang sudah Engkau tebus, ya TUHAN, berjalan melewati mereka.
17 Bring them in and plant them in the mountain of their inheritance, in your prepared habitation, which you, O Lord, have prepared; the sanctuary, O Lord, which your hands have made ready.
Engkau akan membawa umat-Mu ke atas gunung-Mu, di mana Engkau membuat kediaman-Mu, ya TUHAN, ke tempat kudus yang Engkau dirikan dengan tangan-Mu sendiri, ya Penguasa kami.
18 The Lord reigns for ever and ever and ever.
Engkaulah, TUHAN, yang berkuasa dan memerintah sampai selama-lamanya!”
19 For the horse of Pharao went in with the chariots and horsemen into the sea, and the Lord brought upon them the water of the sea, but the children of Israel walked through dry land in the midst of the sea.
Ketika umat Israel berjalan menyeberang laut di atas tanah yang kering, semua pasukan raja Mesir, termasuk pasukan berkuda, kereta, dan pengendaranya, mengejar mereka ke tengah laut. Lalu TUHAN membuat tembok air menyatu kembali seperti semula dan menenggelamkan mereka.
20 And Mariam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, having taken a timbrel in her hand—then there went forth all the women after her with timbrels and dances.
Lalu Miryam, kakak perempuan Harun yang juga seorang nabi perempuan, mengambil rebana dan memukulnya sambil menari-nari. Semua perempuan mengikutinya,
21 And Mariam led them, saying, Let us sing to the Lord, for he has been very greatly glorified: the horse and rider has he cast into the sea.
dan Miryam memimpin mereka menyanyi, “Bernyanyilah bagi TUHAN, karena Dia sudah menang dengan jaya. Dia sudah melemparkan seluruh pasukan berkuda itu ke dalam laut.”
22 So Moses brought up the children of Israel from the Red Sea, and brought them into the wilderness of Sur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water to drink.
Kemudian Musa memimpin umat Israel meninggalkan Laut Merah menuju padang belantara Syur. Mereka berjalan selama tiga hari di padang belantara itu tanpa menemukan air.
23 and they came to Merrha, and could not drink of Merrha, for it was bitter; therefore he named the name of that place, Bitterness.
Setibanya di Mara, mereka menemukan air, tetapi air di sana tidak bisa diminum karena pahit. Itulah sebabnya tempat itu dinamai ‘Mara’, yang artinya ‘pahit’.
24 And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?
Mereka bersungut-sungut kepada Musa dan berkata, “Apa yang akan kita minum?!”
25 And Moses cried to the Lord, and the Lord showed him a tree, and he cast it into the water, and the water was sweetened: there he established to him ordinances and judgments, and there he proved him,
Maka Musa berseru kepada TUHAN, dan TUHAN menunjukkan kepadanya sebatang kayu. Musa melemparkan kayu itu ke air, lalu air itu berubah menjadi air tawar sehingga dapat diminum. Di tempat itu, TUHAN memberikan ketetapan sebagai pengukur untuk menguji ketaatan mereka masing-masing dengan berkata,
26 and said, If you will indeed hear the voice of the Lord your God, and do things pleasing before him, and will listen to his commands, and keep all his ordinances, no disease which I have brought upon the Egyptians will I bring upon you, for I am the Lord your God that heals you.
“Taatilah Aku, TUHAN Allahmu, dengan sungguh-sungguh. Turutilah semua perintah dan ketetapan-Ku, dan lakukanlah yang baik di mata-Ku, maka Aku tidak akan menghukum kamu dengan berbagai penyakit seperti yang sudah Aku lakukan terhadap bangsa Mesir. Akulah TUHAN yang menyembuhkan kamu.”
27 And they came to Aelim, and there were there twelve fountains of water, and seventy stems of palm-trees; and they encamped there by the waters.
Sesudah itu, tibalah mereka di Elim. Di sana terdapat dua belas mata air dan tujuh puluh pohon kurma. Mereka berkemah di dekat mata air itu.
