Exodus 8

1 And YHWH says to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh, and you have said to him, Thus said YHWH: Send My people away, and they serve Me;

Lalu TUHAN berkata kepada Musa, "Pergilah menghadap raja dan sampaikan kepadanya pesan-Ku ini: 'Izinkan umat-Ku pergi untuk beribadat kepada-Ku.

2 and if you are refusing to send [them] away, behold, I am striking all your border with frogs;

Jika engkau menolak, negeri ini akan Kupenuhi dengan katak sebagai hukuman.

3 and the River has teemed [with] frogs, and they have gone up and gone into your house, and into the inner-chamber of your bed, and on your couch, and into the house of your servants, and among your people, and into your ovens, and into your kneading-troughs;

Sungai Nil akan penuh dengan katak, sehingga binatang-binatang itu keluar dari air dan masuk ke dalam istanamu, ke dalam kamar tidur dan tempat tidurmu, ke dalam rumah-rumah para pejabat dan rakyat, bahkan ke dalam tempat pembakaran roti dan panci-panci.

4 indeed, on you, and on your people, and on all your servants the frogs go up.”

Katak-katak itu akan melompat dan memanjati engkau, semua pejabat dan rakyat.'"

5 And YHWH says to Moses, “Say to Aaron, Stretch out your hand, with your rod, against the streams, against the rivers, and against the ponds, and cause the frogs to come up against the land of Egypt.”

TUHAN berkata kepada Musa, "Suruhlah Harun merentangkan tongkatnya ke atas sungai-sungai, saluran-saluran dan kolam-kolam supaya katak-katak bermunculan dan memenuhi tanah Mesir."

6 And Aaron stretches out his hand against the waters of Egypt, and the frog comes up, and covers the land of Egypt;

Maka Harun mengacungkan tongkatnya ke atas semua air, lalu muncullah katak-katak memenuhi seluruh negeri.

7 and the enchanters do so with their secrets, and cause the frogs to come up against the land of Egypt.

Tetapi para tukang sihir memakai ilmu gaib mereka, dan juga membuat katak-katak bermunculan di negeri itu.

8 And Pharaoh calls for Moses and for Aaron and says, “Make supplication to YHWH, that he may turn aside the frogs from me, and from my people, and I send the people away, and they sacrifice to YHWH.”

Raja memanggil Musa dan Harun, dan berkata, "Berdoalah kepada TUHAN supaya Ia melenyapkan katak-katak ini, maka aku akan mengizinkan bangsamu pergi untuk mempersembahkan kurban kepada TUHAN."

9 And Moses says to Pharaoh, “Beautify yourself over me; when do I make supplication for you, and for your servants, and for your people, to cut off the frogs from you and from your houses—only in the River they remain?”

Musa menjawab, "Dengan senang hati saya akan berdoa untuk Tuanku. Tetapkanlah waktunya, maka saya akan mendoakan Tuanku, para pejabat dan rakyat. Maka Tuanku akan dibebaskan dari katak-katak itu, dan tidak akan ada yang sisa, kecuali di Sungai Nil."

10 And he says, “Tomorrow.” And he says, “According to your word [it is], so that you know that there is none like our God YHWH,

Jawab raja itu, "Berdoalah untukku besok." Kata Musa, "Saya akan melakukan apa yang Tuanku minta. Maka Tuanku akan tahu bahwa tidak ada Allah lain seperti TUHAN, Allah kami.

11 and the frogs have turned aside from you, and from your houses, and from your servants, and from your people; only in the River they remain.”

Dia akan membebaskan Tuanku, para pejabat dan rakyat dari katak-katak itu. Tak akan ada katak di rumah-rumah, kecuali di Sungai Nil."

12 And Moses—Aaron also—goes out from Pharaoh, and Moses cries to YHWH concerning the matter of the frogs which He has set on Pharaoh;

Lalu Musa dan Harun meninggalkan raja. Kemudian Musa berdoa kepada TUHAN supaya melenyapkan katak-katak yang didatangkan-Nya atas raja.

13 and YHWH does according to the word of Moses, and the frogs die out of the houses, out of the courts, and out of the fields,

TUHAN mengabulkan permintaan Musa, dan katak-katak yang ada di rumah-rumah, di halaman-halaman dan ladang-ladang mati semua.

14 and they heap them up together, and the land stinks.

Orang Mesir mengumpulkan bangkai katak-katak itu sampai bertimbun-timbun, sehingga seluruh negeri berbau busuk.

15 And Pharaoh sees that there has been a respite, and he has hardened his heart, and has not listened to them, as YHWH has spoken.

Ketika raja melihat bahwa katak-katak itu sudah mati, ia berkeras kepala. Dan seperti yang sudah dikatakan TUHAN, raja tidak mau mempedulikan perkataan Musa dan Harun.

16 And YHWH says to Moses, “Say to Aaron, Stretch out your rod, and strike the dust of the land, and it has become gnats in all the land of Egypt.”

TUHAN berkata kepada Musa, "Suruhlah Harun memukul tanah dengan tongkatnya, maka di seluruh negeri Mesir debu akan berubah menjadi nyamuk."

17 And they do so, and Aaron stretches out his hand with his rod, and strikes the dust of the land, and the gnats are on man and on beast; all the dust of the land has been gnats in all the land of Egypt.

Lalu Harun memukul tanah dengan tongkatnya, dan semua debu di Mesir berubah menjadi nyamuk yang mengerumuni manusia dan binatang.

18 And the enchanters do so with their secrets, to bring out the gnats, and they have not been able, and the gnats are on man and on beast;

Para ahli sihir berusaha memakai ilmu gaib mereka untuk juga mengadakan nyamuk-nyamuk, tetapi mereka tidak berhasil. Di mana-mana ada nyamuk,

19 and the enchanters say to Pharaoh, “It [is] the finger of God”; and the heart of Pharaoh is strong, and he has not listened to them, as YHWH has spoken.

sehingga para ahli sihir itu berkata kepada raja, "Ini perbuatan Allah." Tetapi raja itu berkeras kepala, dan seperti yang sudah dikatakan TUHAN, raja itu tidak mau mempedulikan perkataan Musa dan Harun.

20 And YHWH says to Moses, “Rise early in the morning, and station yourself before Pharaoh, behold, he is going out to the waters, and you have said to him, Thus said YHWH: Send My people away, and they serve Me;

TUHAN berkata kepada Musa, "Pergilah besok pagi-pagi sekali menemui raja pada waktu ia turun ke sungai, dan sampaikanlah kepadanya perkataan-Ku ini: 'Izinkanlah umat-Ku pergi beribadat kepada-Ku.

21 for if you are not sending My people away, behold, I am sending against you, and against your servants, and against your people, and against your houses, the beetle, and the houses of the Egyptians have been full of the beetle, and also the ground on which they are.

Jika engkau menolak, maka Aku akan mendatangkan lalat kepadamu, kepada para pejabat dan rakyat. Rumah-rumah orang Mesir, bahkan seluruh negeri akan penuh dengan lalat.

22 And I have separated in that day the land of Goshen, in which My people are staying, that the beetle is not there, so that you know that I [am] YHWH in the midst of the land,

Tetapi Aku akan membuat kekecualian untuk daerah Gosyen, tempat umat-Ku tinggal. Di sana tak akan ada lalat, supaya kamu tahu bahwa Aku, TUHAN, yang melakukan itu.

23 and I have put a division between My people and your people; this sign is tomorrow.”

Aku akan membuat perbedaan antara umat-Ku dengan rakyatmu. Keajaiban itu akan terjadi besok.'"

24 And YHWH does so, and the grievous beetle enters the house of Pharaoh, and the house of his servants, and in all the land of Egypt the land is corrupted from the presence of the beetle.

TUHAN mendatangkan lalat yang banyak sekali ke istana raja dan ke rumah-rumah para pejabat. Seluruh negeri Mesir sangat menderita karena lalat-lalat itu.

25 And Pharaoh calls to Moses and to Aaron and says, “Go, sacrifice to your God in the land”;

Kemudian raja memanggil Musa dan Harun lalu berkata, "Pergilah mempersembahkan kurban kepada Allahmu, tetapi di negeri ini saja."

26 and Moses says, “[It is] not right to do so—for us to sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to our God YHWH; behold, we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes—and they do not stone us!

"Sebaiknya tidak," jawab Musa, "karena orang Mesir akan merasa tersinggung kalau melihat persembahan kami itu, dan pasti kami akan dilempari batu sampai mati.

27 We go a journey of three days into the wilderness and have sacrificed to our God YHWH as He says to us.”

Kami harus pergi ke padang gurun sejauh tiga hari perjalanan untuk mempersembahkan kurban kepada TUHAN Allah kami, seperti yang diperintahkan-Nya kepada kami."

28 And Pharaoh says, “I send you away, and you have sacrificed to your God YHWH in the wilderness, only do not go very far off; make supplication for me”;

Raja berkata, "Baiklah, kuizinkan kamu pergi ke padang gurun untuk mempersembahkan kurban kepada TUHAN, Allahmu, asal kamu tidak pergi jauh. Ingat, doakanlah aku!"

29 and Moses says, “Behold, I am going out from you, and have made supplication to YHWH, and tomorrow the beetle has turned aside from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people; only, do not let Pharaoh add to deceive in not sending the people away to sacrifice to YHWH.”

Jawab Musa, "Sesudah saya pergi, saya segera berdoa kepada TUHAN supaya besok lalat-lalat itu meninggalkan Tuanku, para pejabat dan rakyat. Tetapi jangan menipu kami lagi, dan jangan menghalangi bangsa Israel pergi untuk mempersembahkan kurban kepada TUHAN."

30 And Moses goes out from Pharaoh, and makes supplication to YHWH,

Musa meninggalkan raja, lalu berdoa kepada TUHAN,

31 and YHWH does according to the word of Moses, and turns aside the beetle from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people—there has not been one left;

dan TUHAN mengabulkan doa Musa. Lalat-lalat itu beterbangan meninggalkan raja, para pejabat dan rakyat. Tak ada seekor pun yang masih tinggal.

32 and Pharaoh also hardens his heart at this time, and has not sent the people away.

Tetapi kali ini pun raja berkeras kepala dan tidak mengizinkan bangsa itu pergi.
