Keluaran 7
1 TUHAN berkata kepada Musa, "Aku akan menjadikan engkau seperti Allah di hadapan raja, dan saudaramu Harun akan bicara kepadanya sebagai nabimu.
And the Lord said to Moses, See I have made you a god to Pharaoh, and Aaron your brother will be your prophet.
2 Sampaikan kepada Harun semua yang Kuperintahkan kepadamu. Suruhlah Harun mengatakan kepada raja bahwa ia harus mengizinkan orang Israel meninggalkan negeri Mesir.
Say whatever I give you orders to say: and Aaron your brother will give word to Pharaoh to let the children of Israel go out of his land.
3 Tetapi Aku akan menjadikan raja keras kepala. Ia tidak akan mempedulikan engkau, sekalipun Aku mendatangkan banyak bencana di Mesir.
And I will make Pharaoh's heart hard, and my signs and wonders will be increased in the land of Egypt.
4 Karena itu Aku akan menghukum Mesir dengan hukuman-hukuman yang berat, kemudian Kubawa seluruh bangsa Israel, umat-Ku, keluar dari negeri itu.
But Pharaoh will not give ear to you, and I will put my hand on Egypt, and take my armies, my people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt, after great punishments.
5 Maka orang Mesir akan tahu bahwa Aku ini TUHAN, pada waktu Aku menghukum mereka dan membawa Israel keluar dari negeri mereka."
And the Egyptians will see that I am the Lord, when my hand is stretched out over Egypt, and I take the children of Israel out from among them.
6 Musa dan Harun melakukan apa yang diperintahkan TUHAN.
And Moses and Aaron did so: as the Lord gave them orders, so they did.
7 Musa berumur 80 tahun dan Harun 83 tahun ketika mereka menghadap raja Mesir.
And Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron eighty-three years old, when they gave the Lord's word to Pharaoh.
8 TUHAN berkata kepada Musa dan Harun,
And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,
9 "Kalau raja meminta kamu membuat keajaiban sebagai bukti, suruhlah Harun mengambil tongkatnya dan melemparkannya ke tanah di depan raja. Tongkat itu akan berubah menjadi ular."
If Pharaoh says to you, Let me see a wonder: then say to Aaron, Take your rod and put it down on the earth before Pharaoh so that it may become a snake.
10 Maka pergilah Musa dan Harun menghadap raja dan mereka melakukan apa yang diperintahkan Allah. Harun melemparkan tongkatnya ke tanah di depan raja dan para pegawainya, lalu tongkat itu berubah menjadi ular.
Then Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh and they did as the Lord had said: and Aaron put his rod down on the earth before Pharaoh and his servants, and it became a snake.
11 Karena itu raja pun memanggil orang-orangnya yang berilmu dan ahli-ahli sihirnya, lalu mereka melakukan begitu juga dengan ilmu gaib mereka.
Then Pharaoh sent for the wise men and the wonder-workers, and they, the wonder-workers of Egypt, did the same with their secret arts.
12 Mereka melemparkan tongkat mereka ke tanah dan tongkat-tongkat itu berubah menjadi ular. Tetapi tongkat Harun menelan tongkat mereka.
For every one of them put down his rod on the earth, and they became snakes: but Aaron's rod made a meal of their rods.
13 Meskipun begitu, raja tetap berkeras kepala dan tidak mau mempedulikan perkataan Musa dan Harun, seperti yang sudah dikatakan TUHAN.
But Pharaoh's heart was made hard, and he did not give ear to them, as the Lord had said.
14 Kemudian TUHAN berkata kepada Musa, "Raja itu sangat keras kepala; ia tidak mau mengizinkan bangsa Israel pergi.
And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, Pharaoh's heart is unchanged; he will not let the people go.
15 Sebab itu pergilah menemui dia pagi-pagi, pada waktu ia turun ke Sungai Nil. Bawalah tongkat yang dapat berubah menjadi ular itu dan tunggulah kedatangannya di tepi sungai.
Go to Pharaoh in the morning; when he goes out to the water, you will be waiting for him by the edge of the Nile, with the rod which was turned into a snake in your hand;
16 Katakanlah kepada raja itu: TUHAN, Allah orang Ibrani, mengutus saya untuk menyampaikan kepada Tuanku supaya mengizinkan umat-Nya pergi untuk beribadat kepada-Nya di padang gurun. Tetapi sampai sekarang Tuanku tidak mau mendengarkan.
And say to him, The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, has sent me to you, saying, Let my people go so that they may give me worship in the waste land; but up to now you have not given ear to his words.
17 Sebab itu, TUHAN berkata begini, 'Dari apa yang Kulakukan nanti, engkau akan tahu bahwa Akulah TUHAN. Dengan tongkat ini saya akan memukul permukaan air sungai, dan airnya akan berubah menjadi darah.
So the Lord says, By this you may be certain that I am the Lord; see, by the touch of this rod in my hand the waters of the Nile will be turned to blood;
18 Ikan-ikan akan mati, dan sungai ini akan berbau busuk, sehingga bangsa Mesir tak bisa minum airnya.'"
And the fish in the Nile will come to destruction, and the river will send up a bad smell, and the Egyptians will not be able, for disgust, to make use of the water of the Nile for drinking.
19 TUHAN berkata kepada Musa, "Suruhlah Harun mengambil tongkatnya dan mengacungkannya ke atas semua sungai, saluran-saluran dan kolam-kolam di Mesir. Airnya akan menjadi darah, dan di seluruh negeri akan ada darah, bahkan dalam tong-tong kayu dan tempayan-tempayan batu."
And the Lord said, Say to Aaron, Let the rod in your hand be stretched out over the waters of Egypt, and over the rivers and the streams and the pools, and over every stretch of water, so that they may be turned to blood; and there will be blood through all the land of Egypt, in vessels of wood and in vessels of stone.
20 Musa dan Harun melakukan apa yang diperintahkan TUHAN. Di depan raja dan para pegawainya, Harun mengangkat tongkatnya dan memukul air Sungai Nil, maka airnya berubah menjadi darah.
And Moses and Aaron did as the Lord had said; and when his rod had been lifted up and stretched out over the waters of the Nile before the eyes of Pharaoh and his servants, all the water in the Nile was turned to blood;
21 Ikan-ikan di dalam sungai itu mati, dan baunya busuk sekali, sehingga orang Mesir tidak bisa minum air itu. Di seluruh tanah Mesir ada darah.
And the fish in the Nile came to destruction, and a bad smell went up from the river, and the Egyptians were not able to make use of the water of the Nile for drinking; and there was blood through all the land of Egypt.
22 Tetapi para ahli sihir Mesir berbuat begitu juga dengan ilmu gaib mereka, sehingga raja tetap keras kepala. Seperti yang sudah dikatakan TUHAN, raja tidak mau mendengarkan Musa dan Harun.
And the wonder-workers of Egypt did the same with their secret arts: but Pharaoh's heart was made hard, and he would not give ear to them, as the Lord had said.
23 Malahan ia pulang ke istana tanpa mempedulikan kejadian itu sedikit pun.
Then Pharaoh went into his house, and did not take even this to heart.
24 Semua orang Mesir menggali lubang di sepanjang tepi sungai untuk mencari air minum, karena air sungai itu tidak bisa diminum.
And all the Egyptians made holes round about the Nile to get drinking-water, for they were not able to make use of the Nile water.
25 Tujuh hari lewat sesudah TUHAN mengutuki Sungai Nil.
And seven days went past, after the Lord had put his hand on the Nile.
