Keluaran 14
1 Kemudian TUHAN berkata kepada Musa,
The Lord told Moses,
2 "Suruhlah orang Israel kembali dan berkemah di depan kota Pi-Hahirot, antara kota Migdol dan Laut Gelagah, dekat kota Baal-Zefon.
“Tell the Israelites to turn back and set up camp near Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea. You are to camp beside the sea, opposite Baal-zephon.
3 Raja Mesir akan menyangka bahwa orang Israel sedang mengembara di negeri ini dan tersesat di padang gurun.
Pharaoh will conclude about the Israelites: ‘They're wandering about the country in confusion—the desert has blocked them from leaving.’
4 Aku akan menjadikan dia keras kepala sehingga ia mengejar kamu. Tetapi Aku akan menunjukkan kekuasaan-Ku atas raja Mesir dan tentaranya, dan mereka akan tahu bahwa Akulah TUHAN." Lalu orang Israel berbuat seperti yang diperintahkan TUHAN kepada mereka.
I will give Pharaoh a stubborn attitude so that he will chase after them to get them back. But I will gain respect through what happens to Pharaoh and all his army, and the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord.” So the Israelites did as they were instructed.
5 Ketika raja Mesir mendengar bahwa bangsa Israel sudah lari, ia dan para pejabatnya menyesal dan berkata, "Apa yang kita buat? Mengapa kita biarkan orang-orang Israel itu pergi sehingga kita kehilangan budak-budak?"
When the king of Egypt found out that the Israelites had left in a hurry, Pharaoh and his officials changed their minds about what had happened and said, “What have we done? We have let all these Israelite slaves go!”
6 Lalu raja menyiapkan kereta perang dan tentaranya.
So Pharaoh had his chariot made ready and set out with his army.
7 Ia berangkat dengan semua keretanya, termasuk enam ratus kereta istimewa, yang dikendarai oleh para perwiranya.
He took 600 of his best chariots along with all the other chariots of Egypt, each with their officer-in-charge.
8 Memang TUHAN menjadikan raja keras kepala, sehingga ia mengejar orang Israel yang sedang dalam perjalanan meninggalkan negeri itu di bawah perlindungan TUHAN.
The Lord gave Pharaoh, king of Egypt, a stubborn attitude so he chased after the Israelites, who were leaving with their fists raised in triumph.
9 Tentara Mesir dengan semua kuda, kereta dan pengendaranya mengejar orang Israel, dan menyusul mereka di perkemahan mereka di pantai laut dekat Pi-Hahirot.
The Egyptians set out in pursuit—all Pharaoh's horses and chariots, horsemen and soldiers. They caught up with the Israelites while they were camped beside the sea near Pi-hahiroth, opposite Baal-zephon.
10 Ketika orang Israel melihat raja Mesir dan tentaranya datang, mereka sangat ketakutan dan berteriak kepada TUHAN minta pertolongan.
The Israelites looked back and saw Pharaoh and the Egyptian army approaching. They were absolutely terrified and cried out to the Lord for help.
11 Kata mereka kepada Musa, "Apakah di Mesir tidak ada kuburan, sehingga engkau membawa kami supaya mati di tempat ini? Lihatlah akibat perbuatanmu itu!
They complained to Moses, “Were there no graves in Egypt that you had to bring us out here in the desert to die? What have you done to us by making us leave Egypt?
12 Dahulu di Mesir sudah kami katakan bahwa hal ini akan terjadi! Kami sudah mendesak supaya engkau jangan mengganggu kami, tetapi membiarkan kami tetap menjadi budak di Mesir. Lebih baik menjadi budak di sana daripada mati di padang gurun ini!"
Didn't we tell you back in Egypt, ‘Leave us alone so that we can go on being slaves to the Egyptians’? It would have been better for us to be Egyptian slaves than to die here in the desert!”
13 Musa menjawab, "Jangan takut! Bertahanlah! Kamu akan melihat apa yang dilakukan TUHAN untuk menyelamatkan kamu. Orang Mesir yang kamu lihat sekarang, tak akan kamu lihat lagi.
But Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand where you are and you will see how the Lord will save you today. The Egyptians you see right now, you will never see again!
14 TUHAN akan berjuang untuk kamu, dan kamu tak perlu berbuat apa-apa."
The Lord is going to fight for you—you don't need to do anything.”
15 Kata TUHAN kepada Musa, "Mengapa engkau berteriak minta tolong? Suruhlah orang Israel jalan terus!
The Lord told Moses, “Why are you crying out to me for help? Tell the Israelites to move forward.
16 Angkat tongkatmu dan acungkan ke atas laut. Maka air akan terbagi dan orang Israel dapat menyeberangi laut dengan berjalan di dasarnya yang kering.
You are to pick up your walking stick and hold it out in your hand over the sea. Divide it so the Israelites can walk through the sea on dry ground.
17 Orang Mesir akan Kujadikan keras kepala sehingga mereka terus mengejar orang Israel, dan Aku akan menunjukkan kekuasaan-Ku atas raja Mesir, pasukannya, kereta-kereta serta para pengendaranya.
I will give Egyptians a stubborn, hard-hearted attitude so that they will chase in after them. Then I will gain respect through what happens to Pharaoh and all his army, chariots, and horsemen.
18 Maka orang Mesir akan tahu bahwa Akulah TUHAN."
The Egyptians will know that I am the Lord when I gain respect through Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen.”
19 Lalu malaikat Allah, yang ada di depan pasukan Israel, pindah ke bagian belakang. Dan pindahlah juga tiang awan sampai berada
The angel of God, who had been leading the Israelites, moved behind them. The pillar of cloud also moved from in front of them and stood behind them,
20 di antara pasukan Mesir dan pasukan Israel. Awan itu menimbulkan kegelapan, sehingga sepanjang malam kedua pasukan itu tak dapat saling mendekati.
so that it was positioned between the Egyptian and Israelite camps. Though the cloud was in darkness on one side, but it lit up the night on the other. No one from either camp went near the other during the night.
21 Lalu Musa mengacungkan tangannya ke atas laut, dan TUHAN membuat angin timur bertiup dengan kencangnya sehingga air laut mundur. Sepanjang malam angin itu bertiup, dan mengubah laut menjadi tanah kering.
Then Moses held out his hand over the sea, and all through the night the Lord forced the sea back with a strong east wind, and turned the bottom of the sea into dry land. So the water was divided,
22 Air terbagi dua, dan waktu orang Israel menyeberangi laut, mereka berjalan di dasar yang kering, dan air di kanan kirinya merupakan tembok.
and the Israelites walked through the sea on dry ground, with walls of water to their right and left.
23 Orang Mesir dengan semua kuda, kereta dan pengendaranya mengejar terus dan mengikuti orang Israel ke tengah laut.
The Egyptians chased after them—all Pharaoh's horses, chariots, and horsemen. They followed the Israelites into the sea.
24 Menjelang fajar TUHAN memandang dari tiang api dan awan kepada tentara Mesir dan mengacaubalaukannya.
But at the end of the night the Lord looked down on the Egyptian army from the pillar of fire and cloud, and he threw them into a panic.
25 Ia membuat roda-roda kereta mereka macet, sehingga dengan susah payah mereka maju. Kata orang Mesir, "TUHAN berjuang untuk orang Israel melawan kita. Mari kita lari dari sini!"
He made their chariot wheels get stuck so it was hard for them to drive. The Egyptians shouted out, “Retreat! We must run from the Israelites because the Lord is fighting for them against us!”
26 Kata TUHAN kepada Musa, "Acungkanlah tanganmu ke atas laut, maka air akan kembali, dan menenggelamkan orang Mesir, kereta-kereta dan pengendara-pengendaranya."
Then the Lord told Moses, “Hold out your hand over the sea, so that the water will pour back over the Egyptians and their chariots and horsemen.”
27 Lalu Musa mengacungkan tangannya ke atas laut dan pada waktu fajar merekah, air kembali pada keadaannya yang semula. Orang Mesir berusaha menyelamatkan diri, tetapi TUHAN menenggelamkan mereka ke dalam laut.
So Moses held out his hand over the sea, and at dawn the sea returned to normal. As the Egyptians retreated, the Lord swept them into the sea.
28 Air laut berbalik dan menutupi kereta-kereta, pengendara-pengendara, dan seluruh tentara Mesir yang mengejar orang Israel ke tengah laut, sehingga mereka mati semua.
The water poured back and covered the chariots and horsemen—the whole of Pharaoh's army that had chased after the Israelites into the sea. Not a single one of them survived.
29 Tetapi ketika orang Israel menyeberangi laut, mereka berjalan di dasar yang kering, dan air merupakan tembok di kanan kirinya.
But the Israelites had walked through the sea on dry ground, with walls of water to their right and left.
30 Pada hari itu TUHAN menyelamatkan bangsa Israel dari serangan orang Mesir, dan mereka melihat mayat-mayat orang Mesir terdampar di pantai.
The Lord saved the Israelites from the threat of the Egyptians—the Israelites saw the Egyptians lying dead on the shore.
31 Ketika orang Israel melihat bagaimana TUHAN yang dengan kuasa-Nya yang besar mengalahkan orang Mesir, mereka heran sekali sehingga percaya kepada-Nya dan kepada Musa, hamba-Nya itu.
When the Israelites saw the great power that the Lord had used against the Egyptians, they were in awe of the Lord, and they trusted in him and in his servant Moses.
