Exodus 10
1 And YHWH says to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh, for I have declared his heart hard, and the heart of his servants, so that I set these signs of Mine in their midst,
Kemudian TUHAN berkata kepada Musa, “Pergilah menghadap raja, karena Aku sudah mengeraskan hatinya dan hati para pejabatnya, supaya Aku dapat menunjukkan berbagai keajaiban kepada mereka,
2 and so that you recount in the ears of your son, and of your son’s son, that which I have done in Egypt, and My signs which I have set among them, and you have known that I [am] YHWH.”
dan supaya kamu dapat menceritakan kepada anak cucumu bagaimana Aku, Allahmu, sudah mempermainkan orang Mesir. Kelak, kamu akan menceritakan semua keajaiban yang sudah Aku tunjukkan kepada mereka. Dengan demikian, kamu semua akan tahu bahwa Akulah TUHAN.”
3 And Moses comes in—Aaron also—to Pharaoh, and they say to him, “Thus said YHWH, God of the Hebrews: Until when have you refused to be humbled at My presence? Send My people away, and they serve Me,
Maka Musa dan Harun pergi menghadap raja dan berkata kepadanya, “TUHAN, Allah umat Israel, berkata, ‘Sampai kapankah engkau akan menolak tunduk kepada-Ku? Biarkanlah umat-Ku pergi untuk menyembah-Ku.
4 for if you are refusing to send My people away, behold, tomorrow I am bringing in the locust into your border,
Apabila engkau tetap menolak, maka besok Aku akan mendatangkan belalang ke negerimu.
5 and it has covered the eye of the land, and none is able to see the land, and it has eaten the remnant of that which is escaped, which is left to you from the hail, and it has eaten every tree which is springing out of the field for you;
Belalang-belalang itu akan menutupi seluruh daratan Mesir sehingga tanah tidak lagi terlihat. Belalang-belalang itu akan memakan sisa tanaman yang tidak rusak karena hujan es dan setiap pohon di ladang.
6 and they have filled your houses, and the houses of all your servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians, which neither your fathers nor your father’s fathers have seen, since the day of their being on the ground to this day.” And he turns and goes out from Pharaoh.
Rumah-rumahmu dan semua rumah pejabatmu serta rakyat Mesir akan dipenuhi belalang. Orangtua maupun nenek moyang kalian belum pernah melihat bencana seperti ini!’” Sesudah itu, Musa langsung berbalik dan meninggalkan raja.
7 And the servants of Pharaoh say to him, “Until when does this [one] become a snare to us? Send the men away, and they serve their God YHWH; do you not yet know that Egypt has perished?”
Para pejabat raja berkata kepadanya, “Baginda, sampai kapankah orang ini akan terus menyusahkan kita? Biarkanlah rakyat itu pergi agar mereka dapat menyembah dewa mereka. Sadarilah, Mesir sudah hancur!”
8 And Moses is brought back—Aaron also—to Pharaoh, and he says to them, “Go, serve your God YHWH, but who—who [are] those going?”
Kemudian Musa dan Harun dibawa kembali untuk menghadap raja, dan raja berkata kepada mereka, “Pergilah menyembah dewa kalian. Tetapi siapa saja yang akan pergi?”
9 And Moses says, “With our young ones, and with our aged ones, we go, with our sons, and with our daughters, with our flock, and our herd, we go, for we have a festival to YHWH.”
Jawab Musa, “Kami akan pergi membawa seluruh anggota keluarga kami, semua orang baik tua maupun muda, juga semua ternak kami, karena kami harus mengadakan perayaan bagi TUHAN.”
10 And he says to them, “Be it so, YHWH [is] with you when I send you and your infants away; see—for evil [is] before your faces.
Tetapi kata raja kepada mereka, “Ha! Kalau begitu hanya mujizat dewamu itu yang bisa membuatku mengizinkan kalian pergi membawa para perempuan dan anak-anak kalian! Aku tahu kalian sedang menyusun rencana jahat!
11 Not so! Go now, you who [are] men, and serve YHWH, for that you are seeking”; and [one] casts them out from the presence of Pharaoh.
Tidak bisa! Hanya para laki-laki yang boleh pergi dan menyembah dewamu itu, sesuai permintaan kalian!” Setelah itu Musa dan Harun diusir dari hadapan raja.
12 And YHWH says to Moses, “Stretch out your hand against the land of Egypt for the locust, and it goes up against the land of Egypt, and eats every herb of the land—all that the hail has left.”
Kemudian TUHAN berkata kepada Musa, “Ulurkanlah tanganmu ke atas tanah Mesir, maka belalang-belalang akan datang menutupi seluruh daratan dan memakan setiap tanaman di Mesir yang tidak dirusak oleh hujan es.”
13 And Moses stretches out his rod against the land of Egypt, and YHWH has led an east wind over the land all that day, and all the night; the morning has been, and the east wind has lifted up the locust.
Musa pun mengulurkan tongkatnya ke atas tanah Mesir, dan TUHAN membuat angin timur bertiup di seluruh negeri sepanjang siang dan malam. Keesokan paginya, belalang-belalang sudah datang terbawa oleh angin timur itu.
14 And the locust goes up against all the land of Egypt, and rests in all the border of Egypt—very grievous: before it there has not been such a locust as it, and after it there is none such;
Belalang-belalang menutupi seluruh permukaan tanah negeri Mesir. Dalam sejarah Mesir, belum pernah terjadi bencana belalang seperti itu, dan untuk selamanya tidak akan pernah terjadi lagi.
15 and it covers the eye of all the land, and the land is darkened; and it eats every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail has left, and there has not been left any green thing in the trees, or in the herb of the field, in all the land of Egypt.
Permukaan tanah menjadi gelap karena tertutup oleh banyaknya belalang. Hewan-hewan itu memakan habis semua tanaman dan buah-buahan pada pohon-pohon yang masih bertahan dari hujan es. Tidak ada tumbuhan hijau yang tersisa di seluruh Mesir, baik tanaman maupun pohon.
16 And Pharaoh hurries to call for Moses and for Aaron and says, “I have sinned against your God YHWH, and against you,
Raja segera memanggil Musa dan Harun dan berkata kepada mereka “Saya sudah berdosa terhadap ‘Tuhan’ dan terhadap kalian.
17 and now, please bear with my sin, only this time, and make supplication to your God YHWH, that He may turn aside from off me only this death.”
Saya mohon sekali ini saja, ampunilah dosa saya dan mintalah kepada dewa kalian itu agar dia menjauhkan hukuman maut ini dari saya.”
18 And he goes out from Pharaoh, and makes supplication to YHWH,
Musa meninggalkan raja dan memohon kepada TUHAN.
19 and YHWH turns a very strong sea wind, and it lifts up the locust, and blows it into the Red Sea—there has not been left one locust in all the border of Egypt;
Maka TUHAN membalikkan arah angin menjadi angin barat yang kencang dan meniup belalang-belalang itu ke Laut Merah. Tidak ada seekor pun yang tertinggal di seluruh Mesir.
20 and YHWH strengthens the heart of Pharaoh, and he has not sent the sons of Israel away.
Namun, TUHAN mengeraskan hati raja, dan lagi-lagi dia melarang umat Israel pergi.
21 And YHWH says to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward the heavens, and there is darkness over the land of Egypt, and the darkness is felt.”
Lalu TUHAN berkata kepada Musa, “Angkatlah tanganmu ke arah langit, maka kegelapan yang sangat dahsyat akan meliputi seluruh negeri Mesir.”
22 And Moses stretches out his hand toward the heavens, and there is darkness—thick darkness in all the land of Egypt [for] three days;
Musa mengangkat tangannya ke langit dan gelap gulita menyelimuti seluruh Mesir selama tiga hari.
23 they have not seen one another, and none has risen from his place [for] three days; but there has been light for all the sons of Israel in their dwellings.
Rakyat Mesir tidak dapat melihat satu sama lain dan tidak dapat pergi kemana-mana selama tiga hari. Tetapi di daerah umat Israel tinggal tidak terjadi kegelapan seperti itu.
24 And Pharaoh calls to Moses and says, “Go, serve YHWH, only your flock and your herd are stayed, your infants also go with you”;
Raja memanggil Musa dan berkata, “Pergilah menyembah dewamu. Perempuan-perempuan dan anak-anak kalian boleh ikut, tetapi semua ternak kalian harus ditinggalkan di sini.”
25 and Moses says, “You also give sacrifices and burnt-offerings in our hand, and we have prepared for our God YHWH;
Jawab Musa, “Engkau harus membiarkan kami membawa kurban bakaran agar kami mempersembahkannya kepada TUHAN Allah kami.
26 and also our livestock go with us—there is not left a hoof, for we take from it to serve our God YHWH; and we do not know how we serve YHWH until our going there.”
Semua ternak harus kami bawa. Kami tidak akan meninggalkan seekor pun karena kami harus mempersembahkan sebagian dari ternak kami kepada TUHAN Allah, dan kami tidak tahu mana yang akan kami persembahkan kepada TUHAN sebelum kami tiba di sana.”
27 And YHWH strengthens the heart of Pharaoh, and he has not been willing to send them away;
Namun, TUHAN mengeraskan hati raja sehingga dia tidak membiarkan mereka pergi.
28 and Pharaoh says to him, “Go from me, take heed to yourself, do not add to see my face, for in the day you see my face you die”;
Raja berkata kepada Musa, “Pergi kamu! Jangan pernah melihat mukaku lagi! Kalau kamu berani-berani datang, kamu pasti mati!”
29 and Moses says, “You have spoken correctly, I do not add to see your face anymore.”
Jawab Musa, “Terjadilah sesuai perkataanmu! Saya tidak akan pernah melihat mukamu lagi!”
