Exodus 15
1 Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to the LORD, and said, “I will sing to the LORD, for he has triumphed gloriously. He has thrown the horse and his rider into the sea.
Kemudian Musa dan umat Israel menyanyikan lagu ini untuk memuji TUHAN, “Aku akan bernyanyi bagi TUHAN sebab Dia sudah menang dengan jaya. Dia sudah melemparkan kuda dan penunggangnya ke dalam laut.
2 The LORD is my strength and song. He has become my salvation [yeshu`ah]. This is my God, and I will praise him; my father’s God, and I will exalt him.
TUHAN adalah sumber kekuatanku, karena itu aku bernyanyi. Dialah yang menyelamatkan aku. Dialah Allah yang akan aku puji. Dialah Allah yang disembah ayahku dan nenek moyangku. Aku akan meninggikan Dia!
3 The LORD is a man of war. The LORD is his name.
TUHAN adalah pahlawan perang. Nama-Nya adalah TUHAN.
4 He has cast Pharaoh’s chariots and his army into the sea. His chosen captains are sunk in the Sea of Suf.
Dia sudah melemparkan kereta-kereta raja Mesir dan segenap pasukannya ke dalam laut. Perwira-perwira terbaik ditenggelamkan-Nya ke Laut Merah.
5 The deeps cover them. They went down into the depths like a stone.
Laut yang dalam menelan mereka. Seperti batu mereka tenggelam ke dasar laut.
6 Your right hand, LORD, is glorious in power. Your right hand, LORD, dashes the enemy in pieces.
Tangan kanan-Mu, ya TUHAN, hebat penuh kuasa. Tangan kanan-Mu, ya TUHAN, menghancurkan semua musuh.
7 In the greatness of your excellency, you overthrow those who rise up against you. You send out your wrath. It consumes them as stubble.
Ketika Engkau membinasakan musuh-musuh-Mu Engkau mendapat kehormatan besar. Engkau melepaskan api murka-Mu dan membakar mereka bagai rumput kering belaka.
8 With the blast of your nostrils, the waters were piled up. The floods stood upright as a heap. The deeps were congealed in the heart of the sea.
Oleh hembusan nafas-Mu, air laut menggulung tinggi, berdiri tegak seperti tembok, dan dasar laut menjadi kering.
9 The enemy said, ‘I will pursue. I will overtake. I will divide the plunder. My desire will be satisfied on them. I will draw my sword. My hand will destroy them.’
Musuh kami berkata, ‘Aku akan mengejar dan menangkap mereka. Aku akan membunuh mereka dengan pedang. Lalu aku merampas semua harta mereka, membagi-bagikannya, dan menikmatinya sampai puas.’
10 You blew with your wind. The sea covered them. They sank like lead in the mighty waters.
Tetapi dengan hembusan nafas-Mu, laut menggulung mereka. Mereka tenggelam bagaikan sepotong besi di dalam gelora air yang dahsyat.
11 Who is like you, LORD, among the gods? Who is like you, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?
Tidak ada penguasa seperti Engkau, ya TUHAN! Engkau hebat dalam kekudusan-Mu, dikagumi dan dipuji karena perbuatan-Mu yang menakjubkan. Engkau pembuat keajaiban.
12 You stretched out your right hand. The earth swallowed them.
Engkau merentangkan tangan kanan-Mu, dan bumi pun menelan mereka.
13 “You, in your loving kindness, have led the people that you have redeemed. You have guided them in your strength to your holy habitation.
Karena Engkau setia dan berbaik hati, Engkau memimpin orang-orang yang sudah Engkau tebus. Dengan kekuatan-Mu, Engkau menuntun mereka menuju tempat kediaman-Mu yang kudus.
14 The peoples have heard. They tremble. Pangs have taken hold of the inhabitants of Philistia.
Bangsa-bangsa lain akan mendengar perbuatan-Mu, dan mereka akan gemetar. Penduduk Filistin akan dilanda ketakutan.
15 Then the chiefs of Edom were dismayed. Trembling takes hold of the mighty men of Moab. All the inhabitants of Canaan have melted away.
Para pemimpin Edom akan terguncang. Para pemimpin Moab akan gemetar. Orang Kanaan akan lemas karena kegentaran.
16 Terror and dread falls on them. By the greatness of your arm they are as still as a stone, until your people pass over, LORD, until the people you have purchased pass over.
Mereka akan merasa ngeri dan ketakutan menyaksikan kuasa-Mu, dan mereka akan terdiam seperti batu sampai umat-Mu yang sudah Engkau tebus, ya TUHAN, berjalan melewati mereka.
17 You will bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of your inheritance, the place, LORD, which you have made for yourself to dwell in: the sanctuary, Lord, which your hands have established.
Engkau akan membawa umat-Mu ke atas gunung-Mu, di mana Engkau membuat kediaman-Mu, ya TUHAN, ke tempat kudus yang Engkau dirikan dengan tangan-Mu sendiri, ya Penguasa kami.
18 The LORD will reign forever and ever.”
Engkaulah, TUHAN, yang berkuasa dan memerintah sampai selama-lamanya!”
19 For the horses of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the LORD brought back the waters of the sea on them; but the children of Israel walked on dry land in the middle of the sea.
Ketika umat Israel berjalan menyeberang laut di atas tanah yang kering, semua pasukan raja Mesir, termasuk pasukan berkuda, kereta, dan pengendaranya, mengejar mereka ke tengah laut. Lalu TUHAN membuat tembok air menyatu kembali seperti semula dan menenggelamkan mereka.
20 Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a tambourine in her hand; and all the women went out after her with tambourines and with dances.
Lalu Miryam, kakak perempuan Harun yang juga seorang nabi perempuan, mengambil rebana dan memukulnya sambil menari-nari. Semua perempuan mengikutinya,
21 Miriam answered them, “Sing to the LORD, for he has triumphed gloriously. He has thrown the horse and his rider into the sea.”
dan Miryam memimpin mereka menyanyi, “Bernyanyilah bagi TUHAN, karena Dia sudah menang dengan jaya. Dia sudah melemparkan seluruh pasukan berkuda itu ke dalam laut.”
22 Moses led Israel onward from the Sea of Suf, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water.
Kemudian Musa memimpin umat Israel meninggalkan Laut Merah menuju padang belantara Syur. Mereka berjalan selama tiga hari di padang belantara itu tanpa menemukan air.
23 When they came to Marah, they couldn’t drink from the waters of Marah, for they were bitter. Therefore its name was called Marah.
Setibanya di Mara, mereka menemukan air, tetapi air di sana tidak bisa diminum karena pahit. Itulah sebabnya tempat itu dinamai ‘Mara’, yang artinya ‘pahit’.
24 The people murmured against Moses, saying, “What shall we drink?”
Mereka bersungut-sungut kepada Musa dan berkata, “Apa yang akan kita minum?!”
25 Then he cried to the LORD. The LORD showed him a tree, and he threw it into the waters, and the waters were made sweet. There he made a statute and an ordinance for them, and there he tested them.
Maka Musa berseru kepada TUHAN, dan TUHAN menunjukkan kepadanya sebatang kayu. Musa melemparkan kayu itu ke air, lalu air itu berubah menjadi air tawar sehingga dapat diminum. Di tempat itu, TUHAN memberikan ketetapan sebagai pengukur untuk menguji ketaatan mereka masing-masing dengan berkata,
26 He said, “If you will diligently listen to the LORD your God’s voice, and will do that which is right in his eyes, and will pay attention to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have put on the Egyptians; for I am the LORD who heals you.”
“Taatilah Aku, TUHAN Allahmu, dengan sungguh-sungguh. Turutilah semua perintah dan ketetapan-Ku, dan lakukanlah yang baik di mata-Ku, maka Aku tidak akan menghukum kamu dengan berbagai penyakit seperti yang sudah Aku lakukan terhadap bangsa Mesir. Akulah TUHAN yang menyembuhkan kamu.”
27 They came to Elim, where there were twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees. They encamped there by the waters.
Sesudah itu, tibalah mereka di Elim. Di sana terdapat dua belas mata air dan tujuh puluh pohon kurma. Mereka berkemah di dekat mata air itu.
