Exodus 14
1 Now the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Kemudian TUHAN berkata kepada Musa,
2 "Speak to the children of Israel, that they turn back and camp before Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, before Baal Zephon. You shall camp opposite it by the sea.
"Suruhlah orang Israel kembali dan berkemah di depan kota Pi-Hahirot, antara kota Migdol dan Laut Gelagah, dekat kota Baal-Zefon.
3 Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, 'They are wandering in the land. The wilderness has boxed them in.'
Raja Mesir akan menyangka bahwa orang Israel sedang mengembara di negeri ini dan tersesat di padang gurun.
4 And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and he will pursue them. And I will gain glory because of Pharaoh and because of all his army, and the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD." And they did so.
Aku akan menjadikan dia keras kepala sehingga ia mengejar kamu. Tetapi Aku akan menunjukkan kekuasaan-Ku atas raja Mesir dan tentaranya, dan mereka akan tahu bahwa Akulah TUHAN." Lalu orang Israel berbuat seperti yang diperintahkan TUHAN kepada mereka.
5 And when the king of Egypt was told that the people had fled, the heart of Pharaoh and his servants was turned against the people, and they said, "What is this we have done, that we have let Israel go from serving us?"
Ketika raja Mesir mendengar bahwa bangsa Israel sudah lari, ia dan para pejabatnya menyesal dan berkata, "Apa yang kita buat? Mengapa kita biarkan orang-orang Israel itu pergi sehingga kita kehilangan budak-budak?"
6 Then he made ready his chariot, and took his army with him;
Lalu raja menyiapkan kereta perang dan tentaranya.
7 and he took six hundred select chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and officers over all of them.
Ia berangkat dengan semua keretanya, termasuk enam ratus kereta istimewa, yang dikendarai oleh para perwiranya.
8 And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel; and the children of Israel were going out triumphantly.
Memang TUHAN menjadikan raja keras kepala, sehingga ia mengejar orang Israel yang sedang dalam perjalanan meninggalkan negeri itu di bawah perlindungan TUHAN.
9 And the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh and his horsemen and his army, and overtook them camping by the sea, beside Pi-hahiroth, before Baal Zephon.
Tentara Mesir dengan semua kuda, kereta dan pengendaranya mengejar orang Israel, dan menyusul mereka di perkemahan mereka di pantai laut dekat Pi-Hahirot.
10 When Pharaoh drew near, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and look, the Egyptians were marching after them, and they were very afraid. So the children of Israel cried out to the LORD.
Ketika orang Israel melihat raja Mesir dan tentaranya datang, mereka sangat ketakutan dan berteriak kepada TUHAN minta pertolongan.
11 And they said to Moses, "Was it because there were no graves in Egypt that you have taken us away to die in the wilderness? What have you done to us by bringing us out of Egypt?
Kata mereka kepada Musa, "Apakah di Mesir tidak ada kuburan, sehingga engkau membawa kami supaya mati di tempat ini? Lihatlah akibat perbuatanmu itu!
12 Isn't this the word that we spoke to you in Egypt, saying, 'Leave us alone so that we may serve the Egyptians?' For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness."
Dahulu di Mesir sudah kami katakan bahwa hal ini akan terjadi! Kami sudah mendesak supaya engkau jangan mengganggu kami, tetapi membiarkan kami tetap menjadi budak di Mesir. Lebih baik menjadi budak di sana daripada mati di padang gurun ini!"
13 But Moses said to the people, "Do not be afraid, stand still, and see the salvation of God, which he will work for you today, for the Egyptians you see today, you will never, ever see again.
Musa menjawab, "Jangan takut! Bertahanlah! Kamu akan melihat apa yang dilakukan TUHAN untuk menyelamatkan kamu. Orang Mesir yang kamu lihat sekarang, tak akan kamu lihat lagi.
14 The LORD will fight for you, and you must be still."
TUHAN akan berjuang untuk kamu, dan kamu tak perlu berbuat apa-apa."
15 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Why are you crying out to me? Tell the children of Israel to go forward.
Kata TUHAN kepada Musa, "Mengapa engkau berteriak minta tolong? Suruhlah orang Israel jalan terus!
16 And as for you, lift up your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it, and the children of Israel will go through the midst of the sea on dry ground.
Angkat tongkatmu dan acungkan ke atas laut. Maka air akan terbagi dan orang Israel dapat menyeberangi laut dengan berjalan di dasarnya yang kering.
17 And as for me, look, I am going to harden the hearts of the Egyptians so that they will go in after them, and I will receive glory over Pharaoh and all his army, his chariots and his horsemen.
Orang Mesir akan Kujadikan keras kepala sehingga mereka terus mengejar orang Israel, dan Aku akan menunjukkan kekuasaan-Ku atas raja Mesir, pasukannya, kereta-kereta serta para pengendaranya.
18 Then the Egyptians will know that I am the LORD, when I receive glory over Pharaoh, his chariots and his horsemen."
Maka orang Mesir akan tahu bahwa Akulah TUHAN."
19 And the angel of God who was going in front of the camp of Israel moved and went behind them, and the pillar of cloud moved from in front of them and stood behind them.
Lalu malaikat Allah, yang ada di depan pasukan Israel, pindah ke bagian belakang. Dan pindahlah juga tiang awan sampai berada
20 So it came between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel. Thus it was a cloud and darkness and it lit up the night so that the one did not come near the other all night.
di antara pasukan Mesir dan pasukan Israel. Awan itu menimbulkan kegelapan, sehingga sepanjang malam kedua pasukan itu tak dapat saling mendekati.
21 Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the LORD pushed the sea back by a strong east wind all night, and made the sea into dry land, so the waters were divided.
Lalu Musa mengacungkan tangannya ke atas laut, dan TUHAN membuat angin timur bertiup dengan kencangnya sehingga air laut mundur. Sepanjang malam angin itu bertiup, dan mengubah laut menjadi tanah kering.
22 Then the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea on the dry ground, and the waters were a wall to them on their right and on their left.
Air terbagi dua, dan waktu orang Israel menyeberangi laut, mereka berjalan di dasar yang kering, dan air di kanan kirinya merupakan tembok.
23 And the Egyptians pursued and went in after them into the midst of the sea, all of Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.
Orang Mesir dengan semua kuda, kereta dan pengendaranya mengejar terus dan mengikuti orang Israel ke tengah laut.
24 And it happened, in the morning watch, that the LORD looked down on the Egyptian camp through the pillar of fire and cloud and threw the camp into confusion.
Menjelang fajar TUHAN memandang dari tiang api dan awan kepada tentara Mesir dan mengacaubalaukannya.
25 And he bound their chariot wheels so that they drove them with difficulty. And the Egyptians said, "Let's flee from before Israel, for the LORD fights for them against the Egypt."
Ia membuat roda-roda kereta mereka macet, sehingga dengan susah payah mereka maju. Kata orang Mesir, "TUHAN berjuang untuk orang Israel melawan kita. Mari kita lari dari sini!"
26 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand over the sea, so that the waters may flow back on the Egyptians, on their chariots, and on their horsemen."
Kata TUHAN kepada Musa, "Acungkanlah tanganmu ke atas laut, maka air akan kembali, dan menenggelamkan orang Mesir, kereta-kereta dan pengendara-pengendaranya."
27 So Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its normal state at daybreak. Now the Egyptians were trying to escape from it, but the LORD shook off the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
Lalu Musa mengacungkan tangannya ke atas laut dan pada waktu fajar merekah, air kembali pada keadaannya yang semula. Orang Mesir berusaha menyelamatkan diri, tetapi TUHAN menenggelamkan mereka ke dalam laut.
28 Then the waters returned and covered the chariots, the horsemen, the entire army of Pharaoh that had followed them into the sea. None of them survived.
Air laut berbalik dan menutupi kereta-kereta, pengendara-pengendara, dan seluruh tentara Mesir yang mengejar orang Israel ke tengah laut, sehingga mereka mati semua.
29 But the children of Israel walked on dry ground in the midst of the sea, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.
Tetapi ketika orang Israel menyeberangi laut, mereka berjalan di dasar yang kering, dan air merupakan tembok di kanan kirinya.
30 Thus the LORD saved Israel that day from the power of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore.
Pada hari itu TUHAN menyelamatkan bangsa Israel dari serangan orang Mesir, dan mereka melihat mayat-mayat orang Mesir terdampar di pantai.
31 When Israel saw the great power which the LORD used against the Egyptians, then the people feared the LORD, and they believed God and his servant Moses.
Ketika orang Israel melihat bagaimana TUHAN yang dengan kuasa-Nya yang besar mengalahkan orang Mesir, mereka heran sekali sehingga percaya kepada-Nya dan kepada Musa, hamba-Nya itu.
