Exodus 9
1 And the Lord said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, and speak to him, Thus hath said the Eternal, the God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve 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 For if thou refusest to let them go, and still holdest on to them,
Kalau engkau tak mau melepaskan mereka,
3 Behold, the hand of the Lord will be sent against thy cattle which is in the field, against the horses, against the asses, against the camels, against the oxen, and against the sheep; —a very grievous pestilence.
Aku akan mendatangkan wabah yang dahsyat atas semua ternakmu, kuda, keledai, unta, sapi, domba dan kambingmu.
4 And the Lord will distinguish between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt; and not one head shall die of all that belongeth 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 set time, saying, Tomorrow will the Lord do this thing in the land.
Aku, TUHAN, menetapkan hari esok untuk melaksanakan hal itu.'"
6 And the Lord did this thing on the morrow, and all the cattle of Egypt died; but of the cattle 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 Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there had not died of the cattle of the Israelites even one; but the heart of Pharaoh remained 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 unto Moses and unto Aaron, Take unto yourselves your hands full of soot of the furnace, and let Moses throw it heavenward before the eyes of Pharaoh.
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 it shall become small dust over all the land of Egypt, and shall become upon man and beast an inflammation, producing boils, throughout all the 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 the soot of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses threw it up heavenward; and it became an inflammation, producing boils, upon man, and upon beast.
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 And the magicians could not stand before Moses because of the inflammation; for the inflammation was upon the magicians, and upon all the Egyptians.
Para ahli sihir tidak bisa menghadap Musa karena seluruh badan mereka penuh bisul seperti orang-orang Mesir lainnya.
12 And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he hearkened not unto them; as the Lord had spoken unto 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 unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and place thyself before Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus hath said the Eternal, the God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve 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 at this time I send all my plagues against thy heart, and against thy servants, and against thy people; in order that thou mayest know that there is none like me on 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 even now I might have stretched out my hand, and I might have smitten thee and thy people with the pestilence; and thou wouldst have been cut off from the earth;
Sekiranya Aku mau menghukum engkau dan rakyatmu dengan penyakit, pasti kamu sudah binasa sama sekali.
16 But for this cause have I allowed thee to remain, in order to show thee my power; and in order that they may proclaim my name throughout all the earth.
Tetapi kamu Kubiarkan hidup, supaya Aku dapat menunjukkan kekuasaan-Ku kepadamu, sehingga nama-Ku menjadi termasyhur di seluruh bumi.
17 If thou dost yet wantonly oppress my people, so as not to let them go:
Meskipun begitu, engkau masih juga tinggi hati dan tidak mau mengizinkan umat-Ku pergi.
18 Behold, then will I let rain, about this time tomorrow, a very grievous hail, the like of which hath not been in Egypt since the day of its foundation even until now.
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 And now send, and bring under shelter thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field; [for] every man and beast that shall be found in the field, and shall not be brought into the house, upon them shall the hail come down, and they 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 the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses;
Beberapa di antara para pejabat takut kepada perkataan TUHAN. Mereka membawa hamba-hamba dan ternak mereka masuk ke dalam rumah supaya terlindung.
21 And he that regarded not the word of the Lord left his servants and his cattle in the field.
Tetapi yang lain tidak mengindahkan peringatan itu dan meninggalkan hamba-hamba dan ternak mereka di padang.
22 And the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch forth thy hand toward heaven, and there shall be hail in all the land of Egypt, upon man, and upon beast, 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 staff toward heaven; and the Lord sent thunder and hail, and the fire ran down to 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 there was hail, and fire was flaming up amidst the hail, very grievous, the like of which had not been in all the land of Egypt, since it had become a nation.
hujan es yang dahsyat disertai petir yang sambar-menyambar. Itulah hujan es yang paling dahsyat dalam sejarah Mesir.
25 And the hail smote throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and beast; and every herb of the field did the hail smite, and every tree of the field did it break.
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 Goshen, where the children of Israel were, there was no hail.
Hanya daerah Gosyen, tempat kediaman orang-orang Israel, tidak ditimpa hujan es.
27 And Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and he said unto them, I have sinned this time; the Eternal is the righteous, and I and my people are the wicked.
Lalu raja memanggil Musa dan Harun, dan berkata, "Aku telah berdosa. Tuhanlah yang benar, aku dan rakyatku telah berbuat salah.
28 Entreat the Lord that there may be no more of the thunders of God, and hail; and I will let you go, and ye shall no longer stay here.
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 And Moses said unto him, As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will spread out my hands unto the Lord: the thunders shall cease, and the hail shall not be any more; in order that thou mayest know how that to the Lord belongeth the earth.
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 as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye are not yet afraid before the Lord God.
Tetapi saya tahu bahwa Tuanku dan para pejabat belum juga takut kepada TUHAN Allah."
31 And the flax and the barley were smitten; for the barley was in the ear, and the flax was bolled.
Tanaman rami dan jelai musnah, karena rami sedang berbunga, dan jelai sedang berbulir.
32 But the wheat and the millet were not smitten; for they are late-ripening.
Tetapi gandum dan biji-bijian tidak rusak karena belum musimnya.
33 And Moses went away from Pharaoh out of the city, and spread out his hands unto the Lord: and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured out 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 when Pharaoh saw that the rain, and the hail, and the thunders had ceased, he sinned yet farther, and hardened his heart, he and his servants.
Ketika raja melihat apa yang terjadi, ia berdosa lagi. Dia dan para pejabatnya tetap berkeras kepala.
35 And the heart of Pharaoh remained hardened, and he did not let the children of Israel go; as the Lord had spoken by the hand of Moses.
Seperti yang sudah dikatakan TUHAN melalui Musa, raja tidak mau mengizinkan orang Israel pergi.
