Keluaran 14
1 Kemudian TUHAN berkata kepada Musa,
The LORD spoke 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 children of Israel, that they turn back and encamp before Pihahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, before Baal Zephon. You shall encamp opposite it by the sea.
3 Raja Mesir akan menyangka bahwa orang Israel sedang mengembara di negeri ini dan tersesat di padang gurun.
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.
I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and he will follow after them; and I will get honour over Pharaoh, and over all his armies; and the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD.” 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?"
The king of Egypt was told that the people had fled; and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was changed towards the people, and they said, “What is this we have done, that we have let Israel go from serving us?”
6 Lalu raja menyiapkan kereta perang dan tentaranya.
He prepared his chariot, and took his army 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, with captains over all 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.
The LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued the children of Israel; for the children of Israel went 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.
The Egyptians pursued them. All the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, his horsemen, and his army overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baal Zephon.
10 Ketika orang Israel melihat raja Mesir dan tentaranya datang, mereka sangat ketakutan dan berteriak kepada TUHAN minta pertolongan.
When Pharaoh came near, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians were marching after them; and they were very afraid. The children of Israel cried out to 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!
They said to Moses, “Because there were no graves in Egypt, have you taken us away to die in the wilderness? Why have you treated us this way, to bring us 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!"
Isn’t this the word that we spoke to you in Egypt, saying, ‘Leave us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians’? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to 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.
Moses said to the people, “Don’t be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will work for you today; for you will never again see the Egyptians whom you have seen today.
14 TUHAN akan berjuang untuk kamu, dan kamu tak perlu berbuat apa-apa."
The LORD will fight for you, and you shall be still.”
15 Kata TUHAN kepada Musa, "Mengapa engkau berteriak minta tolong? Suruhlah orang Israel jalan terus!
The LORD said to Moses, “Why do you cry to me? Speak to 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.
Lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it. Then the children of Israel shall go into the middle of 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.
Behold, I myself will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they will go in after them. I will get myself honour over Pharaoh, and over all his armies, over his chariots, and over his horsemen.
18 Maka orang Mesir akan tahu bahwa Akulah TUHAN."
The Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD when I have gotten myself honour over Pharaoh, over his chariots, and over 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 went before the camp of Israel, moved and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud moved from before 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.
It came between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel. There was the cloud and the darkness, yet it gave light by night. One didn’t come near the other all 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.
Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all 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.
The children of Israel went into the middle of the sea on the dry ground; and the waters were a wall to 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.
The Egyptians pursued, and went in after them into the middle of the sea: all of Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.
24 Menjelang fajar TUHAN memandang dari tiang api dan awan kepada tentara Mesir dan mengacaubalaukannya.
In the morning watch, the LORD looked out on the Egyptian army through the pillar of fire and of cloud, and confused the Egyptian army.
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 took off their chariot wheels, and they drove them heavily; so that the Egyptians said, “Let’s 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."
The LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea, that the waters may come again 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.
Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it. The LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the middle 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.
The waters returned, and covered the chariots and the horsemen, even all Pharaoh’s army that went in after them into the sea. 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 on dry land in the middle of the sea, and the waters were a wall to 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 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.
Israel saw the great work which the LORD did to the Egyptians, and the people feared the LORD; and they believed in the LORD and in his servant Moses.
