Exodus 14
1 Now YHWH 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.
“Perintahkanlah umat Israel untuk kembali dan berkemah di tepi laut di Pi Hahirot, yang terletak di antara kota Migdol dan Laut Merah, berhadapan dengan Baal Zefon.
3 Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, 'They are wandering in the land. The wilderness has boxed them in.'
Nanti raja Mesir akan berkata, ‘Umat Israel sudah tersesat dan terjebak di padang belantara.’
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 YHWH." And they did so.
Aku akan mengeraskan hati raja sehingga dia mengejar kalian. Saat itulah Aku akan dimuliakan, ketika Aku mengalahkan raja Mesir beserta seluruh pasukannya, dan orang Mesir akan tahu bahwa Akulah TUHAN.” Maka umat Israel berkemah di sana sesuai perintah TUHAN.
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?"
Sewaktu raja Mesir diberitahu bahwa umat Israel sudah melarikan diri, raja dan para pejabatnya berubah pikiran lalu berkata, “Mengapa kita membiarkan umat Israel pergi?! Sekarang kita kehilangan budak!”
6 Then he made ready his chariot, and took his army with him;
Dia pun menyuruh supaya kereta perang disiapkan, juga para tentara yang akan ikut bersamanya.
7 and he took six hundred select chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and officers over all of them.
Dia membawa 600 kereta perang pilihan bersama semua kereta perang lain yang ada di Mesir. Setiap kereta perang dikendarai oleh seorang perwira.
8 And YHWH 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.
TUHAN mengeraskan hati raja Mesir sehingga dia mengejar umat Israel, yang sudah pergi keluar dengan gagah berani.
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.
Seluruh pasukan Mesir, termasuk semua pasukan berkuda, kereta, dan pengendaranya, mengejar umat Israel, dan mereka berhasil menyusul sampai perkemahan Israel di tepi laut dekat Pi Hahirot, di depan Baal Zefon.
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 YHWH.
Ketika umat Israel melihat raja Mesir dan pasukannya mendekat, mereka sangat ketakutan dan berseru-seru minta tolong kepada TUHAN.
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 kamu membawa kami untuk mati di padang belantara ini! Kamu sudah mencelakakan kami dengan membawa kami keluar dari Mesir!
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."
Bukankah dulu di Mesir, kami pernah berkata kepadamu, ‘Jangan ikut campur! Biarkanlah kami tetap menjadi budak orang Mesir. Lebih baik hidup sebagai budak orang Mesir daripada mati di padang belantara!’”
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.
Tetapi Musa menjawab mereka, “Jangan takut! Berdirilah teguh dan lihatlah yang akan TUHAN lakukan hari ini untuk menyelamatkan kita! Kita tidak akan melihat lagi pasukan Mesir yang kita hadapi hari ini.
14 YHWH will fight for you, and you must be still."
TUHAN akan berperang bagi kita, dan kita tidak perlu melakukan apa-apa.”
15 Then YHWH said to Moses, "Why are you crying out to me? Tell the children of Israel to go forward.
TUHAN berkata kepada Musa, “Mengapa kamu berseru minta tolong kepada-Ku? Perintahkanlah umat Israel untuk berjalan maju!
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.
Angkatlah tongkatmu dan arahkanlah ke atas laut. Laut akan terbelah agar umat Israel bisa berjalan menyeberanginya di atas tanah 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.
Aku akan mengeraskan hati orang Mesir sehingga mereka mengejar umat Israel ke tengah laut, dan Aku akan dimuliakan ketika Aku mengalahkan raja Mesir beserta seluruh pasukannya, termasuk pasukan berkuda, kereta, dan pengendaranya.
18 Then the Egyptians will know that I am YHWH, when I receive glory over Pharaoh, his chariots and his horsemen."
Orang Mesir akan melihat kemuliaan-Ku dan tahu bahwa Akulah TUHAN ketika Aku mengalahkan mereka.”
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.
Kemudian malaikat yang sebelumnya berjalan di depan umat Israel berpindah ke belakang mereka. Demikian juga tiang awan pindah dari depan ke belakang,
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.
sehingga berada di antara perkemahan pasukan Mesir dan perkemahan umat Israel. Ketika hari menjelang malam, tiang awan berubah menjadi tiang api yang menerangi. Dengan demikian, pasukan Mesir tidak dapat mendekati umat Israel sepanjang malam itu.
21 Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and YHWH pushed the sea back by a strong east wind all night, and made the sea into dry land, so the waters were divided.
Kemudian Musa mengarahkan tongkatnya ke atas laut, dan TUHAN membuat angin timur bertiup sangat kencang sepanjang malam sehingga air laut terbelah dua dan dasar laut menjadi 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.
Umat Israel berjalan di atas tanah yang kering menyeberangi laut, sementara sisi kiri dan kanan mereka dipagari oleh tembok air.
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.
Seluruh pasukan Mesir, termasuk semua pasukan berkuda, kereta, dan pengendaranya, mengejar umat Israel hingga ke tengah laut.
24 And it happened, in the morning watch, that YHWH looked down on the Egyptian camp through the pillar of fire and cloud and threw the camp into confusion.
Menjelang fajar, TUHAN, yang berada di dalam tiang api dan awan, melihat ke bawah kepada pasukan Mesir lalu mengacaukan mereka.
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 YHWH fights for them against the Egypt."
Dia membuat roda-roda kereta tentara Mesir macet sehingga mereka susah maju. Kata mereka, “Mari kita lari dari sini! Dewa Israel sedang berperang untuk umat Israel melawan kita!”
26 Then YHWH 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."
TUHAN berkata kepada Musa, “Arahkanlah tongkatmu ke atas laut, supaya air laut berbalik dan menutupi semua pasukan Mesir.”
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 YHWH shook off the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
Maka pada waktu fajar sesudah umat Israel menyeberang, Musa mengarahkan tongkatnya ke atas laut, dan air laut menyatu kembali seperti semula. Pasukan Mesir berusaha melarikan diri, tetapi TUHAN menenggelamkan mereka di tengah 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 tiba-tiba berbalik dan menutupi semua pasukan berkuda dan pengendara kereta, bahkan semua pasukan raja Mesir yang mengejar umat Israel ke tengah laut. Tidak ada seorang pun yang selamat.
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.
Demikianlah umat Israel sudah menyeberangi laut itu dengan berjalan di atas tanah yang kering, dipagari oleh tembok air di sisi kiri dan kanan mereka.
30 Thus YHWH saved Israel that day from the power of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore.
Pada hari itu, TUHAN menyelamatkan umat Israel dari pasukan Mesir, dan orang Israel melihat mayat-mayat tentara Mesir terdampar di pantai.
31 When Israel saw the great power which YHWH used against the Egyptians, then the people feared YHWH, and they believed God and his servant Moses.
Ketika umat Israel melihat betapa besarnya kuasa TUHAN terhadap pasukan Mesir, mereka pun hormat dan takut kepada TUHAN, dan percaya kepada Dia serta kepada Musa, hamba-Nya.
