Exodus 6

1 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Now you will see what I will do to the king [and his people]. I will powerfully [MTY] compel him to let my people go. In fact, by my power [MTY] [I will force] him to expel them from his land!”

Tetapi TUHAN berfirman kepada Musa: "Sekarang engkau akan melihat, apa yang akan Kulakukan kepada Firaun; sebab dipaksa oleh tangan yang kuat ia akan membiarkan mereka pergi, ya dipaksa oleh tangan yang kuat ia akan mengusir mereka dari negerinya."

2 God also said to Moses/me, “I am Yahweh.

Selanjutnya berfirmanlah Allah kepada Musa: "Akulah TUHAN.

3 I am the one who appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and [told them that I] was God Almighty, but I did not [tell] them that my name [was Yahweh].

Aku telah menampakkan diri kepada Abraham, Ishak dan Yakub sebagai Allah Yang Mahakuasa, tetapi dengan nama-Ku TUHAN Aku belum menyatakan diri.

4 I also made my solemn agreement with them, promising to give them the Canaan region. That was the area in which they were living as foreigners.

Bukan saja Aku telah mengadakan perjanjian-Ku dengan mereka untuk memberikan kepada mereka tanah Kanaan, tempat mereka tinggal sebagai orang asing,

5 Furthermore, I have heard the Israeli people as they were groaning [because of the hard work that] the Egyptians forced them to do as their slaves. I have thought about that solemn promise [that I made].

tetapi Aku sudah mendengar juga erang orang Israel yang telah diperbudak oleh orang Mesir, dan Aku ingat kepada perjanjian-Ku.

6 So tell the Israeli people that [I said this: ] ‘I am Yahweh. I will free you from the burdens [of heavy work] that the Egyptians [have given you]. I will free you from being their slaves. With my great power [MTY] and by punishing them [MTY] very severely, I will save you.

Sebab itu katakanlah kepada orang Israel: Akulah TUHAN, Aku akan membebaskan kamu dari kerja paksa orang Mesir, melepaskan kamu dari perbudakan mereka dan menebus kamu dengan tangan yang teracung dan dengan hukuman-hukuman yang berat.

7 I will cause you to be my own people, and I will be your God, [the one you worship]. You will truly know that I, Yahweh your God, am the one who has freed you from the burdens [of work as slaves] of the Egyptians.

Aku akan mengangkat kamu menjadi umat-Ku dan Aku akan menjadi Allahmu, supaya kamu mengetahui, bahwa Akulah, TUHAN, Allahmu, yang membebaskan kamu dari kerja paksa orang Mesir.

8 And I will bring you to the land that I solemnly promised to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. You will possess it [forever]. I, Yahweh, am [promising this].’”

Dan Aku akan membawa kamu ke negeri yang dengan sumpah telah Kujanjikan memberikannya kepada Abraham, Ishak dan Yakub, dan Aku akan memberikannya kepadamu untuk menjadi milikmu; Akulah TUHAN."

9 Moses/I told that to the Israeli people, but they did not believe what he/I said. They were very discouraged [IDM] because of the hard work [that they had been forced to do as slaves].

Lalu Musa mengatakan demikian kepada orang Israel, tetapi mereka tidak mendengarkan Musa karena mereka putus asa dan karena perbudakan yang berat itu.

10 Yahweh said to Moses/me,

Kemudian TUHAN berfirman kepada Musa:

11 “Go and tell the king of Egypt [again] that he must allow the Israeli people to leave his land!”

"Pergilah menghadap, katakanlah kepada Firaun, raja Mesir, bahwa ia harus membiarkan orang Israel pergi dari negerinya."

12 But Moses/I said to Yahweh, “Listen [to what I am saying]. [Even] the Israeli people have not paid attention to what I [told them]. But I am a poor speaker. [MET, MTY] So (why should the king pay attention to what I tell him?/the king will certainly not pay attention to what I [tell him]!)” [RHQ]

Tetapi Musa berkata di hadapan TUHAN: "Orang Israel sendiri tidak mendengarkan aku, bagaimanakah mungkin Firaun akan mendengarkan aku, aku seorang yang tidak petah lidahnya!"

13 But Yahweh spoke to Aaron and Moses/me and commanded them/us, “Tell the Israeli people and the king of Egypt that I have [commissioned you two] to lead the Israeli people out of Egypt.”

Demikianlah TUHAN telah berfirman kepada Musa dan Harun, serta mengutus mereka kepada orang Israel dan kepada Firaun, raja Mesir, dengan membawa perintah supaya orang Israel dibawa keluar dari Mesir.

14 (Here is/I will now give you) a list of the ancestors of [Moses/me and Aaron]: The sons of Reuben, who was Jacob’s oldest son, [were] Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi. They were [ancestors of] the clans [that have those same names].

Inilah para kepala kaum keluarga mereka: Anak-anak Ruben anak sulung Israel: Henokh, Palu, Hezron dan Karmi; itulah kaum-kaum Ruben.

15 The sons of Simeon [were] Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jachin, Zohar, and Shaul. Shaul’s mother was a woman from the Canaan people-group. Those men also were [ancestors of] clans [that have those same names].

Anak-anak Simeon: Yemuel, Yamin, Ohad, Yakhin, Zohar, dan Saul, anak seorang perempuan Kanaan; itulah kaum-kaum Simeon.

16 These are the names of the sons of Levi, in the order in which they were born: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. Levi was 137 years old [when he died].

Inilah nama anak-anak Lewi menurut urutan kelahirannya: Gerson, Kehat dan Merari. Umur Lewi seratus tiga puluh tujuh tahun.

17 The sons of Gershon [were] Libni and Shimei. They were ancestors of clans that have those names.

Anak-anak Gerson: Libni dan Simei, menurut kaum mereka.

18 The sons of Kohath [were] Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel. Kohath was 133 years old [when he died].

Anak-anak Kehat: Amram, Yizhar, Hebron dan Uziel. Umur Kehat seratus tiga puluh tiga tahun.

19 The sons of Merari [were] Mahli and Mushi. All of those people whose names [I have listed] belonged to tribes/clans descended from Levi, in the order in which they were born.

Anak-anak Merari: Mahli dan Musi. Itulah kaum-kaum Lewi menurut urutannya.

20 Amram married his father’s sister, Jochebed. She was the mother of Aaron and Moses/me. Amram was 137 years old [when he died].

Dan Amram mengambil Yokhebed, saudara ayahnya, menjadi isterinya, dan perempuan ini melahirkan Harun dan Musa baginya. Umur Amram seratus tiga puluh tujuh tahun.

21 The sons of Izhar were Korah, Nepheg, and Zichri.

Anak-anak Yizhar: Korah, Nefeg dan Zikhri.

22 The sons of Uzziel were Mishael, Elzaphan, and Sithri.

Anak-anak Uziel: Misael, Elsafan dan Sitri.

23 Aaron married Elisheba. She was the daughter of Amminadab and sister of Nahshon. Elisheba gave birth to [four sons]: Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

Dan Harun mengambil Eliseba, anak perempuan Aminadab, saudara perempuan Nahason, menjadi isterinya, dan perempuan ini melahirkan baginya Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar dan Itamar.

24 The sons of Korah [were] Assir, Elkanah, and Abiasaph. They were the ancestors of the Korah people-group.

Anak-anak Korah: Asir, Elkana dan Abiasaf; itulah kaum-kaum orang Korah.

25 Aaron’s son Eleazar married one of the daughters of Putiel, and she gave birth to Phinehas. [That ends the list of] the families and clans that were descended from Levi.

Eleazar, anak Harun, mengambil salah seorang anak perempuan Putiel menjadi isterinya dan perempuan ini melahirkan Pinehas baginya. Itulah para kepala kaum keluarga orang Lewi menurut kaum mereka.

26 Aaron and Moses/I were the ones to whom Yahweh said, “Lead all the families and clans of the Israeli people out of Egypt.”

Itulah Harun dan Musa, yang diperintahkan TUHAN: "Bawalah orang Israel keluar dari tanah Mesir menurut pasukan mereka."

27 They/We were the ones who spoke to the king of Egypt about bringing the Israeli people out of Egypt.

Merekalah yang berbicara kepada Firaun, raja Mesir, supaya mereka membawa orang Israel keluar dari Mesir. Itulah Musa dan Harun.

28 On the day that Yahweh spoke to Moses/me in Egypt,

Pada waktu TUHAN berfirman kepada Musa di tanah Mesir,

29 he said, “I am Yahweh. You must tell the king everything that I say to you.”

TUHAN berfirman kepadanya: "Akulah TUHAN; katakanlah kepada Firaun, raja Mesir, segala yang Kufirmankan kepadamu."

30 But Moses/I said to Yahweh, “Listen to me. I am not a good speaker. [MET, MTY] So (the king will certainly not pay attention to what I say/why should the king pay attention to what I tell him?)!” [RHQ]

Tetapi Musa berkata di hadapan TUHAN: "Bukankah aku ini seorang yang tidak petah lidahnya, bagaimanakah mungkin Firaun akan mendengarkan aku?"
