Exodus 10
1 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Go to the king [again]. I have made him and his officials stubborn [IDM]. I have done that in order that I would [have a good reason to] perform all these plagues among them,
Berfirmanlah TUHAN kepada Musa: "Pergilah menghadap Firaun, sebab Aku telah membuat hatinya dan hati para pegawainya berkeras, supaya Aku mengadakan tanda-tanda mujizat yang Kubuat ini di antara mereka,
2 and also in order that you would [be able to] tell your children and your grandchildren how I caused the Egyptians to act very foolishly [when] I performed all these miracles. Then all of you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
dan supaya engkau dapat menceriterakan kepada anak cucumu, bagaimana Aku mempermain-mainkan orang Mesir dan tanda-tanda mujizat mana yang telah Kulakukan di antara mereka, supaya kamu mengetahui, bahwa Akulah TUHAN."
3 So Aaron and Moses/I went into the king’s [palace] and said to him, “Yahweh God, whom we Hebrews [worship], says this: ‘How long will you stubbornly refuse to do what I tell you [MTY]? Let my people go, in order that they may worship me [in the desert]
Lalu Musa dan Harun pergi menghadap Firaun dan berkata kepadanya: "Beginilah firman TUHAN, Allah orang Ibrani: Berapa lama lagi engkau menolak untuk merendahkan dirimu di hadapan-Ku? Biarkanlah umat-Ku pergi supaya mereka beribadah kepada-Ku.
4 If you [keep] refusing to let them go, I warn you that tomorrow I will bring (locusts/[large flying insects called] locusts) into your country.
Sebab jika engkau menolak membiarkan umat-Ku pergi, maka besok Aku akan mendatangkan belalang-belalang ke dalam daerahmu;
5 [They will completely cover the ground so that] you will not even be able to see the ground. They will eat everything that the hail did not [destroy]. They will eat [everything that is left on] the trees.
belalang itu akan menutupi permukaan bumi, sehingga orang tidak dapat melihat tanah; belalang itu akan memakan habis sisa yang terluput, yang masih tinggal bagimu dari hujan es itu, bahkan akan memakan habis segala pohonmu yang tumbuh di padang.
6 They will fill your houses, and the houses of all your officials, and the houses of all [the rest of] the Egyptians. [There will be more locusts] than you or your parents or your grandparents have ever seen, from the time your ancestors first came to [this] land until the present time!’” Then he/I turned and [Aaron and] I left the king.
Belalang itu akan memenuhi rumahmu, rumah semua pegawaimu, rumah semua orang Mesir seperti yang belum pernah dilihat oleh bapamu dan nenek moyangmu, sejak mereka lahir ke bumi sampai hari ini." Lalu berpalinglah ia dan keluar meninggalkan Firaun.
7 The king’s officials said to him, “(How long is this man going to continue to bring disasters on us?/We must not let this man continue to cause trouble for us!) [RHQ] Let the [Israeli] men leave, in order that they may worship Yahweh, their god. (Do you not yet understand that [this man] has ruined Egypt?/You ought to realize by now that [this man] has ruined Egypt!)” [RHQ]
Sesudah itu berkatalah para pegawai Firaun kepadanya: "Berapa lama lagi orang ini akan menjadi jerat kepada kita? Biarkanlah orang-orang itu pergi supaya mereka beribadah kepada TUHAN, Allah mereka. Belumkah tuanku insaf, bahwa Mesir pasti akan binasa?"
8 So they brought Aaron and Moses/me back to the king. He said to them/us, “[All right], you can go and worship Yahweh your god. But who are the ones who will go?”
Lalu Musa dan Harun dibawalah kembali kepada Firaun dan berkatalah Firaun kepada mereka: "Pergilah, beribadahlah kepada TUHAN, Allahmu. Siapa-siapa sebenarnya yang akan pergi itu?"
9 Moses/I replied, “We [all] need to go, everyone, including those who are young and those who are old. We need to take our sons and our daughters and our flocks [of sheep and goats] and herds [of livestock], because we must have a festival to [honor] Yahweh.”
Jawab Musa: "Kami hendak pergi dengan orang-orang yang muda dan yang tua; dengan anak-anak lelaki kami dan perempuan, dengan kambing domba kami dan lembu sapi kami, sebab kami harus mengadakan perayaan untuk TUHAN."
10 [Moses/I really did not intend that the Israelis would ever return to Egypt, and the king knew that also. So] the king replied [sarcastically], “[If you all leave], [it will be clear that] Yahweh has helped you, but I myself will never let you [take] your children [and your wives] when you go! It is clear that you are wickedly planning [not to return].
Tetapi Firaun berkata kepada mereka: "TUHAN boleh menyertai kamu, jika aku membiarkan kamu pergi dengan anak-anakmu! Lihat, jahatlah maksudmu!
11 So no, [I will not let you all go]. [The Israeli] men may go [and worship Yahweh], if that is what you want.” Then the king expelled them/us from [his palace].
Bukan demikian, kamu boleh pergi, tetapi hanya laki-laki, dan beribadahlah kepada TUHAN, sebab itulah yang kamu kehendaki." Lalu mereka diusir dari depan Firaun.
12 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Reach out your hand as [though you were stretching it] over the land to welcome the locusts. They will come to the country of Egypt and eat every plant that is [left] in the land, every plant that the hail has not destroyed.”
Berfirmanlah TUHAN kepada Musa: "Ulurkanlah tanganmu ke atas tanah Mesir mendatangkan belalang dan belalang akan datang meliputi tanah Mesir dan memakan habis segala tumbuh-tumbuhan di tanah, semuanya yang ditinggalkan oleh hujan es itu."
13 So Moses/I held out his/my stick [as though he/I was stretching it] over the whole land of Egypt. Then Yahweh caused a [strong] wind to blow from the east, and it blew over the land all that day and all that night. By the [next] morning, it had brought the locusts.
Lalu Musa mengulurkan tongkatnya ke atas tanah Mesir, dan TUHAN mendatangkan angin timur melintasi negeri itu, sehari-harian dan semalam-malaman, dan setelah hari pagi, angin timur membawa belalang.
14 The locusts swarmed all over Egypt. It was larger than any swarm of locusts that had ever [been seen], and there will never be [a swarm of locusts like that] again.
Datanglah belalang meliputi seluruh tanah Mesir dan hinggap di seluruh daerah Mesir, sangat banyak; sebelum itu tidak pernah ada belalang yang demikian banyaknya dan sesudah itupun tidak akan terjadi lagi yang demikian.
15 They covered the surface of the ground and made it [appear] black. They ate all the plants in the land and everything on the trees that had not been destroyed by the hail. Nothing that was green was left on any plant or on any tree, anywhere in Egypt.
Belalang menutupi seluruh permukaan bumi, sehingga negeri itu menjadi gelap olehnya; belalang memakan habis segala tumbuh-tumbuhan di tanah dan segala buah-buahan pada pohon-pohon yang ditinggalkan oleh hujan es itu, sehingga tidak ada tinggal lagi yang hijau pada pohon atau tumbuh-tumbuhan di padang di seluruh tanah Mesir.
16 The king quickly summoned Aaron and Moses/me and said, “I have sinned against Yahweh, your god, and against you [two].
Maka segeralah Firaun memanggil Musa dan Harun serta berkata: "Aku telah berbuat dosa terhadap TUHAN, Allahmu, dan terhadap kamu.
17 So now I ask you to forgive me this one time [for having] sinned, and pray to Yahweh your god to stop [these locusts] [MTY] [from causing everything] to die.”
Oleh sebab itu, ampunilah kiranya dosaku untuk sekali ini saja dan berdoalah kepada TUHAN, Allahmu itu, supaya bahaya maut ini dijauhkan-Nya dari padaku."
18 They/We left the king, and Moses/I prayed to Yahweh.
Lalu keluarlah Musa meninggalkan Firaun dan berdoa kepada TUHAN.
19 Then Yahweh changed the wind so that it blew [strongly] from the west, and it blew all the locusts into the Red Sea (OR, the Gulf of Suez). There was not one locust left anywhere in the country of Egypt.
Maka TUHAN membuat angin bertiup dari jurusan sebaliknya, yakni angin barat yang sangat kencang, yang membawa belalang itu dan melemparkannya ke dalam Laut Teberau: tidak ada satu belalangpun yang tinggal di seluruh daerah Mesir.
20 But Yahweh made the king stubborn [IDM] [again], and he did not let the Israeli people go.
Tetapi TUHAN mengeraskan hati Firaun, sehingga tidak mau membiarkan orang Israel pergi.
21 Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Reach your hand up toward the sky, in order that there will be darkness over all the land of Egypt, a darkness [so complete] that people will have to grope around [to know where to walk].”
Berfirmanlah TUHAN kepada Musa: "Ulurkanlah tanganmu ke langit, supaya datang gelap meliputi tanah Mesir, sehingga orang dapat meraba gelap itu."
22 So Moses/I reached his/my hand toward the sky, and it became totally dark all over Egypt for three days [and nights].
Lalu Musa mengulurkan tangannya ke langit dan datanglah gelap gulita di seluruh tanah Mesir selama tiga hari.
23 People could not see each other. No one left his house during that whole time. But there was light in the area where the Israeli people were living.
Tidak ada orang yang dapat melihat temannya, juga tidak ada orang yang dapat bangun dari tempatnya selama tiga hari; tetapi pada semua orang Israel ada terang di tempat kediamannya.
24 The king summoned Moses/me and said, “All right, you may go and worship Yahweh. [Your wives and] your children may go with you. But your flocks of sheep and goats and your herds of cattle must remain here.”
Lalu Firaun memanggil Musa serta berkata: "Pergilah, beribadahlah kepada TUHAN, hanya kambing dombamu dan lembu sapimu harus ditinggalkan, juga anak-anakmu boleh turut beserta kamu."
25 But Moses/I replied, “[No], you must let us [take along the sheep and goats, in order] that we may have [some of them] to sacrifice and give as burned offerings to Yahweh, our God.
Tetapi Musa berkata: "Bahkan korban sembelihan dan korban bakaran harus engkau berikan kepada kami, supaya kami menyediakannya untuk TUHAN, Allah kami.
26 Our livestock must also go with us; we are not going to leave one of them [SYN] behind. We must take them to worship Yahweh. We will not know [which animals to sacrifice] until we get to where we are going.”
Dan juga ternak kami harus turut beserta kami dan satu kakipun tidak akan tinggal, sebab dari ternak itulah kami harus ambil untuk beribadah kepada TUHAN, Allah kami; dan kami tidak tahu, dengan apa kami harus beribadah kepada TUHAN, sebelum kami sampai di sana."
27 But Yahweh made the king [continue to be] stubborn [IDM], and he would not let [the Israeli] people go.
Tetapi TUHAN mengeraskan hati Firaun, sehingga dia tidak mau membiarkan mereka pergi.
28 The king said to me, “Get out of here! Make sure that you never come to see me [SYN] again! The day you see me again, [I will have] you executed!”
Lalu Firaun berkata kepadanya: "Pergilah dari padaku; awaslah engkau, jangan lihat mukaku lagi, sebab pada waktu engkau melihat mukaku, engkau akan mati."
29 Moses/I replied, “You are correct! You will never see me [SYN] again!”
Kemudian Musa berkata: "Tepat seperti ucapanmu itu! Aku takkan melihat mukamu lagi!"
