Keluaran 10
1 TUHAN berkata kepada Musa, "Pergilah menghadap raja. Aku telah menjadikan dia dan para pejabatnya keras kepala, supaya Aku dapat melakukan keajaiban-keajaiban di tengah-tengah mereka,
The LORD said to Moses, “Go in to Pharaoh, for I have hardened his heart and the heart of his servants, that I may show these my signs among them;
2 dan supaya engkau dapat menceritakan kepada anak cucumu bagaimana Aku mempermainkan bangsa Mesir dengan keajaiban-keajaiban itu. Maka kamu semua akan tahu bahwa Akulah TUHAN."
and that you may tell in the hearing of your son, and of your son’s son, what things I have done to Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; that you may know that I am the LORD.”
3 Lalu Musa dan Harun pergi menghadap raja dan berkata kepadanya, "TUHAN, Allah bangsa Ibrani, berkata, 'Sampai kapan engkau tak mau tunduk kepada-Ku? Biarkanlah umat-Ku pergi, supaya mereka dapat beribadat kepada-Ku.
Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and said to him, “This is what the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, says: ‘How long will you refuse to humble yourself before me? Let my people go, that they may serve me.
4 Kalau engkau masih juga menolak, maka besok akan Kudatangkan belalang ke negerimu.
Or else, if you refuse to let my people go, behold, tomorrow I will bring locusts into your country,
5 Seluruh permukaan tanah akan tertutup sama sekali oleh belalang yang sangat banyak itu. Semua sisa tanaman, bahkan pohon-pohon yang tidak dibinasakan oleh hujan es, akan dihabiskan oleh belalang itu.
and they shall cover the surface of the earth, so that one won’t be able to see the earth. They shall eat the residue of that which has escaped, which remains to you from the hail, and shall eat every tree which grows for you out of the field.
6 Istanamu, rumah-rumah para pejabat dan rumah rakyat akan penuh belalang. Bencana ini akan lebih hebat daripada apa yang pernah dialami oleh nenek moyangmu.'" Kemudian Musa berbalik dan pergi.
Your houses shall be filled, and the houses of all your servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians, as neither your fathers nor your fathers’ fathers have seen, since the day that they were on the earth to this day.’” He turned, and went out from Pharaoh.
7 Berkatalah para pejabat kepada raja, "Sampai kapan orang itu harus menyusahkan kita? Biarkanlah semua orang Israel itu pergi untuk beribadat kepada TUHAN, Allah mereka. Lihatlah negeri kita ini sudah hancur!"
Pharaoh’s servants said to him, “How long will this man be a snare to us? Let the men go, that they may serve the LORD, their God. Don’t you yet know that Egypt is destroyed?”
8 Maka Musa dan Harun dipanggil kembali menghadap raja. Kata raja kepada mereka, "Kamu boleh pergi untuk beribadat kepada TUHAN Allahmu. Tetapi siapa saja di antara kamu yang akan pergi?"
Moses and Aaron were brought again to Pharaoh, and he said to them, “Go, serve the LORD your God; but who are those who will go?”
9 Jawab Musa, "Kami semua, baik yang muda maupun yang tua. Kami akan membawa semua anak kami, semua sapi, domba, dan kambing kami, sebab kami harus mengadakan suatu perayaan besar untuk menghormati TUHAN."
Moses said, “We will go with our young and with our old. We will go with our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our herds; for we must hold a feast to the LORD.”
10 Kata raja, "Tidak mungkin aku mengizinkan kamu membawa orang-orang perempuan dan anak-anakmu! Yang kamu minta itu sama saja dengan mengharapkan aku meminta TUHAN memberkati kamu. Sudah jelas bagiku bahwa kamu bermaksud jahat.
He said to them, “The LORD be with you if I let you go with your little ones! See, evil is clearly before your faces.
11 Tidak! Cuma orang-orang lelaki boleh pergi untuk beribadat kepada TUHAN, kalau kamu memang ingin beribadat saja!" Dengan kata-kata itu Musa dan Harun diusir dari istana.
Not so! Go now you who are men, and serve the LORD; for that is what you desire!” Then they were driven out from Pharaoh’s presence.
12 Lalu TUHAN berkata kepada Musa, "Acungkan tanganmu ke atas tanah Mesir. Belalang-belalang akan datang dan makan segala tanam-tanaman yang masih sisa sesudah hujan es."
The LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up on the land of Egypt, and eat every herb of the land, even all that the hail has left.”
13 Musa mengangkat tongkatnya dan TUHAN membuat angin timur bertiup di negeri itu sepanjang hari dan sepanjang malam. Menjelang pagi angin itu membawa belalang-belalang
Moses stretched out his rod over the land of Egypt, and the LORD brought an east wind on the land all that day, and all night; and when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts.
14 yang luar biasa banyaknya, sehingga penuhlah seluruh negeri. Belum pernah orang melihat belalang begitu banyak, dan sesudah itu pun hal yang demikian tidak terjadi lagi.
The locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested in all the borders of Egypt. They were very grievous. Before them there were no such locusts as they, nor will there ever be again.
15 Seluruh permukaan tanah ditutupi belalang sampai hitam kelihatannya. Mereka makan apa saja yang tidak dimusnahkan oleh hujan es itu, termasuk buah-buahan di pohon. Di seluruh tanah Mesir tak ada sesuatu yang hijau yang tersisa pada pohon-pohon atau tanaman.
For they covered the surface of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened, and they ate every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left. There remained nothing green, either tree or herb of the field, through all the land of Egypt.
16 Raja segera memanggil Musa dan Harun lalu berkata, "Aku telah berdosa terhadap TUHAN Allahmu dan terhadap kamu.
Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste, and he said, “I have sinned against the LORD your God, and against you.
17 Ampunilah dosaku untuk kali ini, dan berdoalah kepada TUHAN Allahmu, supaya Ia mengambil daripadaku hukuman yang menewaskan ini."
Now therefore please forgive my sin again, and pray to the LORD your God, that he may also take away from me this death.”
18 Musa meninggalkan raja dan berdoa kepada TUHAN.
Moses went out from Pharaoh, and prayed to the LORD.
19 Maka TUHAN mengubah arah angin menjadi angin barat yang sangat kuat. Belalang-belalang itu ditiup angin dan dibawa ke Laut Gelagah. Seekor pun tak ada yang tertinggal di seluruh tanah Mesir.
The LORD sent an exceedingly strong west wind, which took up the locusts, and drove them into the Sea of Suf. There remained not one locust in all the borders of Egypt.
20 Tetapi TUHAN menjadikan raja keras kepala, dan ia tidak membiarkan orang Israel pergi.
But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he didn’t let the children of Israel go.
21 TUHAN berkata kepada Musa, "Angkatlah tanganmu ke atas, maka tanah Mesir akan diliputi gelap gulita."
The LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward the sky, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt.”
22 Musa mengangkat tangannya ke atas, dan selama tiga hari seluruh tanah Mesir diliputi gelap gulita.
Moses stretched out his hand toward the sky, and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt for three days.
23 Orang Mesir tidak dapat melihat apa-apa dan selama waktu itu tak seorang pun pergi ke mana-mana. Tetapi di rumah-rumah orang Israel tetap terang.
They didn’t see one another, and nobody rose from his place for three days; but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.
24 Lalu raja memanggil Musa dan berkata, "Kamu boleh pergi beribadat kepada Tuhanmu. Orang-orang perempuan dan anak-anak boleh ikut. Tetapi sapi, domba, dan kambingmu tak boleh dibawa."
Pharaoh called to Moses, and said, “Go, serve the LORD. Only let your flocks and your herds stay behind. Let your little ones also go with you.”
25 Musa menjawab, "Kalau begitu Tuanku harus memberi kami ternak untuk persembahan dan untuk kurban bakaran kepada TUHAN, Allah kami.
Moses said, “You must also give into our hand sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God.
26 Semua ternak kami harus kami bawa; seekor pun tak akan kami tinggalkan. Dari ternak itu kami pilih mana yang akan dipersembahkan kepada TUHAN Allah kami. Baru di sana kami akan tahu ternak mana yang akan kami persembahkan."
Our livestock also shall go with us. Not a hoof shall be left behind, for of it we must take to serve the LORD our God; and we don’t know with what we must serve the LORD, until we come there.”
27 TUHAN menjadikan raja keras kepala sehingga ia tak mau mengizinkan bangsa Israel pergi.
But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he wouldn’t let them go.
28 Kata raja kepada Musa, "Pergilah dari hadapanku! Jangan sampai kulihat engkau lagi! Kalau sampai kulihat lagi mukamu, engkau akan mati!"
Pharaoh said to him, “Get away from me! Be careful to see my face no more; for in the day you see my face you shall die!”
29 "Seperti kata Tuanku," kata Musa, "Tuanku pasti tidak akan melihat saya lagi."
Moses said, “You have spoken well. I will see your face again no more.”
