< 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 YHWH says to Moses, “See, I have given you [as] a god to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron is your prophet;
2 Sampaikan kepada Harun semua yang Kuperintahkan kepadamu. Suruhlah Harun mengatakan kepada raja bahwa ia harus mengizinkan orang Israel meninggalkan negeri Mesir.
you speak all that I command you, and your brother Aaron speaks to Pharaoh, and he has sent the sons 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 harden the heart of Pharaoh, and have multiplied 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 does not listen, and I have put My hand on Egypt, and have brought out My hosts, My people, the sons of Israel, from the land of Egypt by 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 have known that I [am] YHWH, in My stretching out My hand against Egypt; and I have brought out the sons of Israel from their midst.”
6 Musa dan Harun melakukan apa yang diperintahkan TUHAN.
And Moses does—Aaron also—as YHWH commanded them; so have they done;
7 Musa berumur 80 tahun dan Harun 83 tahun ketika mereka menghadap raja Mesir.
and Moses [is] a son of eighty years, and Aaron [is] a son of eighty-three years, in their speaking to Pharaoh.
8 TUHAN berkata kepada Musa dan Harun,
And YHWH speaks to Moses and to 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."
“When Pharaoh speaks to you, saying, Give a wonder for yourselves; then you have said to Aaron, Take your rod and cast [it] before Pharaoh—it becomes a dragon.”
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 goes in—Aaron also—to Pharaoh, and they do so as YHWH has commanded; and Aaron casts his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it becomes a dragon.
11 Karena itu raja pun memanggil orang-orangnya yang berilmu dan ahli-ahli sihirnya, lalu mereka melakukan begitu juga dengan ilmu gaib mereka.
And Pharaoh also calls for wise men and for sorcerers; and the enchanters of Egypt, they also, with their [enchanting] flames, do so,
12 Mereka melemparkan tongkat mereka ke tanah dan tongkat-tongkat itu berubah menjadi ular. Tetapi tongkat Harun menelan tongkat mereka.
and they each cast down his rod, and they become dragons, and the rod of Aaron swallows their rods;
13 Meskipun begitu, raja tetap berkeras kepala dan tidak mau mempedulikan perkataan Musa dan Harun, seperti yang sudah dikatakan TUHAN.
and the heart of Pharaoh is strong, and he has not listened to them, as YHWH has spoken.
14 Kemudian TUHAN berkata kepada Musa, "Raja itu sangat keras kepala; ia tidak mau mengizinkan bangsa Israel pergi.
And YHWH says to Moses, “The heart of Pharaoh has been hard, he has refused to send the people away;
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, behold, he is going out to the water, and you have stood to meet him by the edge of the River, and the rod which was turned to a serpent you take 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 you have said to him: YHWH, God of the Hebrews, has sent me to you, saying, Send My people away, and they serve Me in the wilderness; and behold, you have not listened until now.
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 said YHWH: By this you know that I [am] YHWH; behold, I am striking with the rod which [is] in my hand, on the waters which [are] in the River, and they have been 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 [are] in the River die, and the River has stunk, and the Egyptians have been wearied of drinking waters 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 YHWH says to Moses, “Say to Aaron, Take your rod, and stretch out your hand against the waters of Egypt, against their streams, against their rivers, and against their ponds, and against all their collections of waters; and they are blood—and there has been blood in all the land of Egypt, both in [vessels of] wood, and in [those 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 do so, as YHWH has commanded, and he lifts up [his hand] with the rod, and strikes the waters which [are] in the River, before the eyes of Pharaoh and before the eyes of his servants, and all the waters which [are] in the River are 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 which [is] in the River has died, and the River stinks, and the Egyptians have not been able to drink water from the River; and the blood is in 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 enchanters of Egypt do so with their secrets, and the heart of Pharaoh is strong, and he has not listened to them, as YHWH has spoken,
23 Malahan ia pulang ke istana tanpa mempedulikan kejadian itu sedikit pun.
and Pharaoh turns and goes into his house, and has not set his heart even to this;
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 seek water all around the River to drink, for they have not been able to drink of the waters of the River.
25 Tujuh hari lewat sesudah TUHAN mengutuki Sungai Nil.
And seven days are completed after YHWH’s striking the River.
