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 unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh; and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.
2 Sampaikan kepada Harun semua yang Kuperintahkan kepadamu. Suruhlah Harun mengatakan kepada raja bahwa ia harus mengizinkan orang Israel meninggalkan negeri Mesir.
Thou shalt speak all that I shall command thee; and Aaron thy brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he send away the children of Israel 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 harden the heart of Pharaoh, and I will multiply my signs and my wonders 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.
And Pharaoh will not hearken unto you, and I will lay my hand upon Egypt, and bring forth my armies, my people, the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by means of great judgments.
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 shall know that I am the Lord, when I stretch forth my hand over Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from the midst of them.
6 Musa dan Harun melakukan apa yang diperintahkan TUHAN.
And Moses and Aaron did so; as the Lord commanded them, so did they.
7 Musa berumur 80 tahun dan Harun 83 tahun ketika mereka menghadap raja Mesir.
And Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron eighty and three years old, when they spoke unto Pharaoh.
8 TUHAN berkata kepada Musa dan Harun,
And the Lord said unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
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 shall speak unto you, saying, Show a miracle for yourselves: then shalt thou say unto Aaron, Take thy staff and cast it down before Pharaoh; it shall become a serpent.
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.
And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so, as the Lord had commanded; and Aaron cast down his staff before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it became a serpent.
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 also called for the wise men and the sorcerers; and they also, the magicians of Egypt, did with their secret arts in like manner.
12 Mereka melemparkan tongkat mereka ke tanah dan tongkat-tongkat itu berubah menjadi ular. Tetapi tongkat Harun menelan tongkat mereka.
And they cast down every man his staff, and they became serpents; but Aaron's staff swallowed up their staves.
13 Meskipun begitu, raja tetap berkeras kepala dan tidak mau mempedulikan perkataan Musa dan Harun, seperti yang sudah dikatakan TUHAN.
But the heart of Pharaoh was hard, and he hearkened not unto them; as the Lord had spoken.
14 Kemudian TUHAN berkata kepada Musa, "Raja itu sangat keras kepala; ia tidak mau mengizinkan bangsa Israel pergi.
And the Lord said unto Moses, The heart of Pharaoh is obdurate, he refuseth to 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.
Get thee unto Pharaoh in the morning; lo, he goeth out unto the water; and thou shalt place thyself opposite to him by the brink of the river; and the staff which was turned to a serpent shalt thou take in thy 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 thou shalt say unto him, The Eternal, the God of the Hebrews, hath sent me unto thee, saying, Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness: and, behold, thou wouldst not hear, up to this time.
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.
Thus hath said the Lord, By this thou shalt know that I am the Lord: behold, I will smite with the staff that is in my hand upon the waters which are in the river, and they shall 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 that is in the river shall die, and the river shall stink; and the Egyptians shall loath to drink water from the river.
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 unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Take thy staff, and stretch out thy hand over the waters of Egypt, over their streams, over their rivers, and over their ponds, and over all their pools of water, that they become blood; and there shall be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, also 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 so, as the Lord had commanded; and he lifted up [his hand] with the staff, and smote the waters that were in the river, before the eyes of Pharaoh, and before the eyes of his servants; and all the waters that were in the river were 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 that was in the river died; and the river stank, and the Egyptians could not drink water from the river; and the blood was throughout 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 magicians of Egypt did so with their secret arts: and the heart of Pharaoh remained hardened, and he did not hearken unto them; as the Lord had spoken.
23 Malahan ia pulang ke istana tanpa mempedulikan kejadian itu sedikit pun.
And Pharaoh turned away and went into his house, and he did not set his heart to this thing also.
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 dug in the neighborhood of the river for water to drink; for they could not drink of the water of the river.
25 Tujuh hari lewat sesudah TUHAN mengutuki Sungai Nil.
And full seven days elapsed, after that the Lord had smitten the river.
