Keluaran 14
1 Kemudian TUHAN berkata kepada Musa,
And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
2 "Suruhlah orang Israel kembali dan berkemah di depan kota Pi-Hahirot, antara kota Migdol dan Laut Gelagah, dekat kota Baal-Zefon.
Speak unto the children of Israel, that they turn and camp before Pihahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, opposite to Baalzephon: before it shall all of you camp by the sea.
3 Raja Mesir akan menyangka bahwa orang Israel sedang mengembara di negeri ini dan tersesat di padang gurun.
For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are entangled in the land, the wilderness has shut them in.
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.
And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, that he shall follow after them; and I will be honoured upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host; that the Egyptians may know that I am the LORD. And they did so.
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?"
And it was told the king of Egypt that the people fled: and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was turned against the people, and they said, Why have we done this, that we have let Israel go from serving us?
6 Lalu raja menyiapkan kereta perang dan tentaranya.
And he made ready his chariot, and took his people with him:
7 Ia berangkat dengan semua keretanya, termasuk enam ratus kereta istimewa, yang dikendarai oleh para perwiranya.
And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over every one of them.
8 Memang TUHAN menjadikan raja keras kepala, sehingga ia mengejar orang Israel yang sedang dalam perjalanan meninggalkan negeri itu di bawah perlindungan TUHAN.
And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel: and the children of Israel went out with an high hand.
9 Tentara Mesir dengan semua kuda, kereta dan pengendaranya mengejar orang Israel, dan menyusul mereka di perkemahan mereka di pantai laut dekat Pi-Hahirot.
But the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.
10 Ketika orang Israel melihat raja Mesir dan tentaranya datang, mereka sangat ketakutan dan berteriak kepada TUHAN minta pertolongan.
And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and they were sore afraid: and the children of Israel cried out unto the LORD.
11 Kata mereka kepada Musa, "Apakah di Mesir tidak ada kuburan, sehingga engkau membawa kami supaya mati di tempat ini? Lihatlah akibat perbuatanmu itu!
And they said unto Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, have you taken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore have you dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out of 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!"
Is not this the word that we did tell you in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness.
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.
And Moses said unto the people, Fear all of you not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will show to you to day: for the Egyptians whom all of you have seen to day, all of you shall see them again no more for ever.
14 TUHAN akan berjuang untuk kamu, dan kamu tak perlu berbuat apa-apa."
The LORD shall fight for you, and all of you shall hold your peace.
15 Kata TUHAN kepada Musa, "Mengapa engkau berteriak minta tolong? Suruhlah orang Israel jalan terus!
And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore cry you unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go 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.
But lift you up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.
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.
And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them: and I will get me honour upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.
18 Maka orang Mesir akan tahu bahwa Akulah TUHAN."
And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I have got me honour upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.
19 Lalu malaikat Allah, yang ada di depan pasukan Israel, pindah ke bagian belakang. Dan pindahlah juga tiang awan sampai berada
And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, 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.
And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night to these: so that the one came not near the other all 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.
And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were 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 children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.
23 Orang Mesir dengan semua kuda, kereta dan pengendaranya mengejar terus dan mengikuti orang Israel ke tengah laut.
And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the sea, even all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.
24 Menjelang fajar TUHAN memandang dari tiang api dan awan kepada tentara Mesir dan mengacaubalaukannya.
And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the LORD looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians,
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!"
And took off their chariot wheels, that they drove them heavily: so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the LORD fights for them against the Egyptians.
26 Kata TUHAN kepada Musa, "Acungkanlah tanganmu ke atas laut, maka air akan kembali, dan menenggelamkan orang Mesir, kereta-kereta dan pengendara-pengendaranya."
And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out your hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their 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.
And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to his strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of 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.
And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them.
29 Tetapi ketika orang Israel menyeberangi laut, mereka berjalan di dasar yang kering, dan air merupakan tembok di kanan kirinya.
But the children of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea; and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.
30 Pada hari itu TUHAN menyelamatkan bangsa Israel dari serangan orang Mesir, dan mereka melihat mayat-mayat orang Mesir terdampar di pantai.
Thus the LORD saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea 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.
And Israel saw that great work which the LORD did upon the Egyptians: and the people feared the LORD, and believed the LORD, and his servant Moses.
