Exodus 6

1 And the Lord said to Moses, Now you shall see what I will do to Pharao; for he shall send them forth with a mighty hand, and with a high arm shall he cast them out of his land.

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 And God spoke to Moses and said to him, I [am] the Lord.

Lagi kata TUHAN kepada Musa, “Akulah TUHAN.

3 And I appeared to Abraam and Isaac and Jacob, being their God, but I did not manifest to them my name Lord.

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

4 And I established my covenant with them, to give them the land of the Chananites, the land wherein they sojourned, in which also they lived as strangers.

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

5 And I listened to the groaning of the children of Israel (the affliction with which the Egyptians enslave them) and I remembered the covenant with you.

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

6 Go, speak to the children of Israel, saying, I [am] the Lord; and I will lead you forth from the tyranny of the Egyptians, and I will deliver you from bondage, and I will ransom you with a high arm, and great judgment.

“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 And I will take you to me a people for myself, and will be your God; and you shall know that I am the Lord your God, who brought you out from the tyranny of the Egyptians.

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 And I will bring you into the land concerning which I stretched out my hand to give it to Abraam and Isaac and Jacob, and I will give it you for an inheritance: 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 And Moses spoke thus to the sons of Israel, and they listened not to Moses for faint-heartedness, and for their hard tasks.

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 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

Kemudian TUHAN berkata kepada Musa,

11 Go in, speak to Pharao king of Egypt, that he send forth the children of Israel out of his land.

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

12 And Moses spoke before the Lord, saying, Behold, the children of Israel listened not to me, and how shall Pharao listen to me? and I am not eloquent.

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 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, and gave them a charge to Pharao king of Egypt, that he should send forth the children of Israel out of the land 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.

26 This is Aaron and Moses, whom God told to bring out the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt with their forces.

Harun dan Musa diperintahkan TUHAN untuk membawa umat Israel keluar dari tanah Mesir, dalam rombongan besar menurut pasukan-pasukan mereka.

27 These are they that spoke with Pharao king of Egypt, and Aaron himself and Moses brought out the children of Israel from the land of Egypt,

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

28 in the day in which the Lord spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt;

TUHAN berkata kepada Musa di Mesir,

29 then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, I am the Lord: speak to Pharao king of Egypt whatever I say to you.

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

30 And Moses said before the Lord, Behold, I am not able in speech, and how shall Pharao listen to me?

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