Keluaran 14
1 Berfirmanlah TUHAN kepada Musa, demikian:
Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 "Katakanlah kepada orang Israel, supaya mereka balik kembali dan berkemah di depan Pi-Hahirot, antara Migdol dan laut; tepat di depan Baal-Zefon berkemahlah kamu, di tepi laut.
“Speak to the sons of Israel. Let them turn back and encamp away from the region of Pihahiroth, which is between Migdol and the sea, opposite Baal-zephon. In its sight you shall place your camp, above the sea.
3 Maka Firaun akan berkata tentang orang Israel: Mereka telah sesat di negeri ini, padang gurun telah mengurung mereka.
And Pharaoh will say about the sons of Israel, ‘They have been confined by the land; the desert has enclosed them.’
4 Aku akan mengeraskan hati Firaun, sehingga ia mengejar mereka. Dan terhadap Firaun dan seluruh pasukannya Aku akan menyatakan kemuliaan-Ku, sehingga orang Mesir mengetahui, bahwa Akulah TUHAN." Lalu mereka berbuat demikian.
And I will harden his heart, and so he will pursue you. And I will be glorified in Pharaoh, and in all his army. And the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord.” And they did so.
5 Ketika diberitahukan kepada raja Mesir, bahwa bangsa itu telah lari, maka berubahlah hati Firaun dan pegawai-pegawainya terhadap bangsa itu, dan berkatalah mereka: "Apakah yang telah kita perbuat ini, bahwa kita membiarkan orang Israel pergi dari perbudakan kita?"
And it was reported to the king of the Egyptians that the people had fled. And the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was changed about the people, and they said, “What did we intend to do, so that we released Israel from serving us?”
6 Kemudian ia memasang keretanya dan membawa rakyatnya serta.
Therefore, he harnessed his chariot, and he took all his people with him.
7 Ia membawa enam ratus kereta yang terpilih, ya, segala kereta Mesir, masing-masing lengkap dengan perwiranya.
And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and whatever chariots were in Egypt, and also the leaders of the whole army.
8 Demikianlah TUHAN mengeraskan hati Firaun, raja Mesir itu, sehingga ia mengejar orang Israel. Tetapi orang Israel berjalan terus dipimpin oleh tangan yang dinaikkan.
And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and he pursued the sons of Israel. But they were taken away by an exalted hand.
9 Adapun orang Mesir, segala kuda dan kereta Firaun, orang-orang berkuda dan pasukannya, mengejar mereka dan mencapai mereka pada waktu mereka berkemah di tepi laut, dekat Pi-Hahirot di depan Baal-Zefon.
And when the Egyptians followed the footsteps of those who preceded them, they found them in a camp above the sea. All the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and the entire army, were in Pihahiroth, opposite Baal-zephon.
10 Ketika Firaun telah dekat, orang Israel menoleh, maka tampaklah orang Mesir bergerak menyusul mereka. Lalu sangat ketakutanlah orang Israel dan mereka berseru-seru kepada TUHAN,
And when Pharaoh had drawn near, the sons of Israel, lifting up their eyes, saw the Egyptians behind them. And they were very afraid. And they cried out to the Lord.
11 dan mereka berkata kepada Musa: "Apakah karena tidak ada kuburan di Mesir, maka engkau membawa kami untuk mati di padang gurun ini? Apakah yang kauperbuat ini terhadap kami dengan membawa kami keluar dari Mesir?
And they said to Moses: “Perhaps there were no graves in Egypt, for which reason you took us to die in the wilderness. What is it that you intended to do, in leading us out of Egypt?
12 Bukankah ini telah kami katakan kepadamu di Mesir: Janganlah mengganggu kami dan biarlah kami bekerja pada orang Mesir. Sebab lebih baik bagi kami untuk bekerja pada orang Mesir dari pada mati di padang gurun ini."
Is this not the word that we spoke to you in Egypt, saying: Withdraw from us, so that we may serve the Egyptians? For it was much better to serve them, than to die in the wilderness.”
13 Tetapi berkatalah Musa kepada bangsa itu: "Janganlah takut, berdirilah tetap dan lihatlah keselamatan dari TUHAN, yang akan diberikan-Nya hari ini kepadamu; sebab orang Mesir yang kamu lihat hari ini, tidak akan kamu lihat lagi untuk selama-lamanya.
And Moses said to the people: “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and see the great wonders of the Lord, which he will do today. For the Egyptians, whom you now see, will never again be seen, forever.
14 TUHAN akan berperang untuk kamu, dan kamu akan diam saja."
The Lord will fight on your behalf, and you will remain silent.”
15 Berfirmanlah TUHAN kepada Musa: "Mengapakah engkau berseru-seru demikian kepada-Ku? Katakanlah kepada orang Israel, supaya mereka berangkat.
And the Lord said to Moses: “Why cry out to me? Tell the sons of Israel to continue on.
16 Dan engkau, angkatlah tongkatmu dan ulurkanlah tanganmu ke atas laut dan belahlah airnya, sehingga orang Israel akan berjalan dari tengah-tengah laut di tempat kering.
Now, lift up your staff, and extend your hand over the sea and divide it, so that the sons of Israel may walk through the midst of the sea on dry ground.
17 Tetapi sungguh Aku akan mengeraskan hati orang Mesir, sehingga mereka menyusul orang Israel, dan terhadap Firaun dan seluruh pasukannya, keretanya dan orangnya yang berkuda, Aku akan menyatakan kemuliaan-Ku.
Then I will harden the heart of the Egyptians, so as to pursue you. And I will be glorified in Pharaoh, and in all his army, and in his chariots, and in his horsemen.
18 Maka orang Mesir akan mengetahui, bahwa Akulah TUHAN, apabila Aku memperlihatkan kemuliaan-Ku terhadap Firaun, keretanya dan orangnya yang berkuda."
And the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord, when I will be glorified in Pharaoh, and in his chariots, as well as in his horsemen.”
19 Kemudian bergeraklah Malaikat Allah, yang tadinya berjalan di depan tentara Israel, lalu berjalan di belakang mereka; dan tiang awan itu bergerak dari depan mereka, lalu berdiri di belakang mereka.
And the Angel of God, who preceded the camp of Israel, lifting himself up, went behind them. And the pillar of cloud, together with him, left the front for the rear
20 Demikianlah tiang itu berdiri di antara tentara orang Mesir dan tentara orang Israel; dan oleh karena awan itu menimbulkan kegelapan, maka malam itu lewat, sehingga yang satu tidak dapat mendekati yang lain, semalam-malaman itu.
and stood between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel. And it was a dark cloud, yet it illuminated the night, so that they could not succeed at approaching one another at any time all that night.
21 Lalu Musa mengulurkan tangannya ke atas laut, dan semalam-malaman itu TUHAN menguakkan air laut dengan perantaraan angin timur yang keras, membuat laut itu menjadi tanah kering; maka terbelahlah air itu.
And when Moses had extended his hand over the sea, the Lord took it away by an intense burning wind, blowing throughout the night, and he turned it into dry ground. And the water was divided.
22 Demikianlah orang Israel berjalan dari tengah-tengah laut di tempat kering; sedang di kiri dan di kanan mereka air itu sebagai tembok bagi mereka.
And the sons of Israel went in through the midst of the dried sea. For the water was like a wall at their right hand and at their left hand.
23 Orang Mesir mengejar dan menyusul mereka--segala kuda Firaun, keretanya dan orangnya yang berkuda--sampai ke tengah-tengah laut.
And the Egyptians, pursuing them, went in after them, along with all of the horses of Pharaoh, his chariots and horsemen, through the midst of the sea.
24 Dan pada waktu jaga pagi, TUHAN yang di dalam tiang api dan awan itu memandang kepada tentara orang Mesir, lalu dikacaukan-Nya tentara orang Mesir itu.
And now the morning watch had arrived, and behold, the Lord, looking down upon the camp of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of cloud, put to death their army.
25 Ia membuat roda keretanya berjalan miring dan maju dengan berat, sehingga orang Mesir berkata: "Marilah kita lari meninggalkan orang Israel, sebab Tuhanlah yang berperang untuk mereka melawan Mesir."
And he overturned the wheels of the chariots, and they were carried into the deep. Therefore, the Egyptians said: “Let us flee from Israel. For the Lord fights on their behalf against us.”
26 Berfirmanlah TUHAN kepada Musa: "Ulurkanlah tanganmu ke atas laut, supaya air berbalik meliputi orang Mesir, meliputi kereta mereka dan orang mereka yang berkuda."
And the Lord said to Moses: “Extend your hand over the sea, so that the waters may return on the Egyptians, over their chariots and horsemen.”
27 Musa mengulurkan tangannya ke atas laut, maka menjelang pagi berbaliklah air laut ke tempatnya, sedang orang Mesir lari menuju air itu; demikianlah TUHAN mencampakkan orang Mesir ke tengah-tengah laut.
And when Moses had extended his hand opposite the sea, it was returned, at first light, to its former place. And the fleeing Egyptians met with the waters, and the Lord immersed them in the midst of the waves.
28 Berbaliklah segala air itu, lalu menutupi kereta dan orang berkuda dari seluruh pasukan Firaun, yang telah menyusul orang Israel itu ke laut; seorangpun tidak ada yang tinggal dari mereka.
And the waters were returned, and they covered the chariots and horsemen of the entire army of Pharaoh, who, in following, had entered into the sea. And not so much as one of them was left alive.
29 Tetapi orang Israel berjalan di tempat kering dari tengah-tengah laut, sedang di kiri dan di kanan mereka air itu sebagai tembok bagi mereka.
But the sons of Israel continued directly through the midst of the dried sea, and the waters were to them like a wall on the right and on the left.
30 Demikianlah pada hari itu TUHAN menyelamatkan orang Israel dari tangan orang Mesir. Dan orang Israel melihat orang Mesir mati terhantar di pantai laut.
And so the Lord freed Israel on that day from the hand of the Egyptians.
31 Ketika dilihat oleh orang Israel, betapa besarnya perbuatan yang dilakukan TUHAN terhadap orang Mesir, maka takutlah bangsa itu kepada TUHAN dan mereka percaya kepada TUHAN dan kepada Musa, hamba-Nya itu.
And they saw the Egyptians dead on the shore of the sea and the great hand that the Lord had exercised against them. And the people feared the Lord, and they believed in the Lord and in Moses his servant.
