< Keluaran 14 >

1 Kemudian TUHAN berkata kepada Musa,
And YHWH speaks to 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 to the sons of Israel, and they turn back and encamp before Pi-Hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, before Ba‘al-Zephon; you encamp in front of it by the sea,
3 Raja Mesir akan menyangka bahwa orang Israel sedang mengembara di negeri ini dan tersesat di padang gurun.
and Pharaoh has said of the sons of Israel, They are entangled in the land, the wilderness has shut on them;
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 have strengthened the heart of Pharaoh, and he has pursued after them, and I am honored by Pharaoh, and by all his force, and the Egyptians have known that I [am] YHWH”; and they do 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 is declared to the king of Egypt that the people have fled, and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants is turned against the people, and they say, “What [is] this we have done, that we have sent Israel away from our service?”
6 Lalu raja menyiapkan kereta perang dan tentaranya.
And he harnesses his chariot, and he has taken his people with him,
7 Ia berangkat dengan semua keretanya, termasuk enam ratus kereta istimewa, yang dikendarai oleh para perwiranya.
and he takes six hundred chosen chariots, even all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over them all;
8 Memang TUHAN menjadikan raja keras kepala, sehingga ia mengejar orang Israel yang sedang dalam perjalanan meninggalkan negeri itu di bawah perlindungan TUHAN.
and YHWH strengthens the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursues after the sons of Israel, and the sons of Israel are going out with a 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.
and the Egyptians pursue after them, and all the chariot horses of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his force, overtake them, encamping by the sea, by Pi-Hahiroth, before Ba‘al-Zephon.
10 Ketika orang Israel melihat raja Mesir dan tentaranya datang, mereka sangat ketakutan dan berteriak kepada TUHAN minta pertolongan.
And Pharaoh has drawn near, and the sons of Israel lift up their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians are journeying after them, and they fear exceedingly, and the sons of Israel cry to YHWH.
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 say to Moses, “Because there are no graves in Egypt, have you taken us away to die in a wilderness? What is this you have done to us—to bring us out from 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 this not the word which we spoke to you in Egypt, saying, Cease from us, and we serve the Egyptians; for [it is] better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in a 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 says to the people, “Do not fear, station yourselves, and see the salvation of YHWH, which He does for you today; for as you have seen the Egyptians today, you add no more to see them for all time;
14 TUHAN akan berjuang untuk kamu, dan kamu tak perlu berbuat apa-apa."
YHWH fights for you, and you keep silent.”
15 Kata TUHAN kepada Musa, "Mengapa engkau berteriak minta tolong? Suruhlah orang Israel jalan terus!
And YHWH says to Moses, “Why do you cry to Me? Speak to the sons of Israel, and they journey;
16 Angkat tongkatmu dan acungkan ke atas laut. Maka air akan terbagi dan orang Israel dapat menyeberangi laut dengan berjalan di dasarnya yang kering.
and you, lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand toward the sea, and cleave it, and the sons of Israel go into the midst of the sea on dry land.
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 am strengthening the heart of the Egyptians, and they go in after them, and I am honored by Pharaoh, and by all his force, by his chariots, and by his horsemen;
18 Maka orang Mesir akan tahu bahwa Akulah TUHAN."
and the Egyptians have known that I [am] YHWH, in My being honored by Pharaoh, by his chariots, and by 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 Messenger of God, who is going before the camp of Israel, journeys and goes at their rear; and the pillar of the cloud journeys from their front, and stands at their rear,
20 di antara pasukan Mesir dan pasukan Israel. Awan itu menimbulkan kegelapan, sehingga sepanjang malam kedua pasukan itu tak dapat saling mendekati.
and comes in between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel, and the cloud and the darkness are, and he enlightens the night, and the one has not drawn near to 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 stretches out his hand toward the sea, and YHWH causes the sea to go on by a strong east wind all the night, and makes the sea become dry ground, and the waters are cleaved,
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 sons of Israel go into the midst of the sea on dry land, and the waters [are] a wall to them, on their right 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 pursue, and go in after them (all the horses of Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen) into the midst of the sea,
24 Menjelang fajar TUHAN memandang dari tiang api dan awan kepada tentara Mesir dan mengacaubalaukannya.
and it comes to pass, in the morning watch, that YHWH looks to the camp of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubles the camp 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 turns aside the wheels of their chariots, and they lead them with difficulty, and the Egyptians say, “Let us flee from the face of Israel, for YHWH is fighting 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 YHWH says to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward the sea, and the waters turn back on the Egyptians, on their chariots, and on 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 stretches out his hand toward the sea, and the sea turns back, at the turning of the morning, to its perennial flow, and the Egyptians are fleeing at its coming, and YHWH shakes off 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 turn back, and cover the chariots and the horsemen, even all the force of Pharaoh, who are coming in after them into the sea—there has not been left even one of them.
29 Tetapi ketika orang Israel menyeberangi laut, mereka berjalan di dasar yang kering, dan air merupakan tembok di kanan kirinya.
And the sons of Israel have gone on dry land in the midst of the sea, and the waters [are] a wall to them, on their right 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.
and YHWH saves Israel out of the hand of the Egyptians in that day, and Israel sees the Egyptians dead on the seashore,
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 sees the great hand with which YHWH has worked against the Egyptians, and the people fear YHWH, and remain steadfast in YHWH, and in His servant Moses.
