Keluaran 7
1 Berfirmanlah TUHAN kepada Musa: "Lihat, Aku mengangkat engkau sebagai Allah bagi Firaun, dan Harun, abangmu, akan menjadi nabimu.
And the Lord said to Moses: “Behold, I have appointed you as the god of Pharaoh. And Aaron, your brother, will be your prophet.
2 Engkau harus mengatakan segala yang Kuperintahkan kepadamu, dan Harun, abangmu, harus berbicara kepada Firaun, supaya dibiarkannya orang Israel itu pergi dari negerinya.
You will speak to him all that I command you. And he will speak to Pharaoh, so that he may release the sons of Israel from his land.
3 Tetapi Aku akan mengeraskan hati Firaun, dan Aku akan memperbanyak tanda-tanda dan mujizat-mujizat yang Kubuat di tanah Mesir.
But I will harden his heart, and I will multiply my signs and wonders in the land of Egypt,
4 Bilamana Firaun tidak mendengarkan kamu, maka Aku akan mendatangkan tangan-Ku kepada Mesir dan mengeluarkan pasukan-Ku, umat-Ku, orang Israel, dari tanah Mesir dengan hukuman-hukuman yang berat.
and he will not listen to you. And I will send my hand over Egypt, and I will lead my army and my people, the sons of Israel, from the land of Egypt, through very great judgments.
5 Dan orang Mesir itu akan mengetahui, bahwa Akulah TUHAN, apabila Aku mengacungkan tangan-Ku terhadap Mesir dan membawa orang Israel keluar dari tengah-tengah mereka."
And the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord, who has extended my hand over Egypt, and who has led the sons of Israel from their midst.”
6 Demikianlah diperbuat Musa dan Harun; seperti yang diperintahkan TUHAN kepada mereka, demikianlah diperbuat mereka.
And so, Moses and Aaron did just as the Lord had instructed. And so it was done.
7 Adapun Musa delapan puluh tahun umurnya dan Harun delapan puluh tiga tahun, ketika mereka berbicara kepada Firaun.
Now Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron eighty-three, when they spoke to Pharaoh.
8 Dan TUHAN berfirman kepada Musa dan Harun:
And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron:
9 "Apabila Firaun berkata kepada kamu: Tunjukkanlah suatu mujizat, maka haruslah kaukatakan kepada Harun: Ambillah tongkatmu dan lemparkanlah itu di depan Firaun. Maka tongkat itu akan menjadi ular."
“When Pharaoh will say to you, ‘Show signs,’ you shall say to Aaron, ‘Take your staff, and cast it down before Pharaoh, and it will be turned into a snake.’”
10 Musa dan Harun pergi menghadap Firaun, lalu mereka berbuat seperti yang diperintahkan TUHAN; Harun melemparkan tongkatnya di depan Firaun dan para pegawainya, maka tongkat itu menjadi ular.
And so Moses and Aaron entered to Pharaoh, and they did just as the Lord had commanded. And Aaron took the staff in the sight of Pharaoh and his servants, and it was turned into a snake.
11 Kemudian Firaunpun memanggil orang-orang berilmu dan ahli-ahli sihir; dan merekapun, ahli-ahli Mesir itu, membuat yang demikian juga dengan ilmu mantera mereka.
Then Pharaoh called the wise men and the sorcerers. And they also, by Egyptian incantations and certain secrets, did similarly.
12 Masing-masing mereka melemparkan tongkatnya, dan tongkat-tongkat itu menjadi ular; tetapi tongkat Harun menelan tongkat-tongkat mereka.
And each one cast down their staffs, and they were turned into serpents. But the staff of Aaron devoured their staffs.
13 Tetapi hati Firaun berkeras, sehingga tidak mau mendengarkan mereka keduanya--seperti yang telah difirmankan TUHAN.
And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not listen to them, just as the Lord had instructed.
14 Berfirmanlah TUHAN kepada Musa: "Firaun berkeras hati, ia menolak membiarkan bangsa itu pergi.
Then the Lord said to Moses: “The heart of Pharaoh has been hardened; he is not willing to release the people.
15 Pergilah kepada Firaun pada waktu pagi, pada waktu biasanya ia keluar ke sungai; nantikanlah dia di tepi sungai Nil dengan memegang di tanganmu tongkat yang tadinya berubah menjadi ular.
Go to him in the morning; behold, he will go out to the waters. And you will stand to meet him above the bank of the river. And you will take, in your hand, the staff that was turned into a serpent.
16 Dan katakanlah kepadanya: TUHAN, Allah orang Ibrani, telah mengutus aku kepadamu untuk mengatakan: Biarkanlah umat-Ku pergi, supaya mereka beribadah kepada-Ku di padang gurun; meskipun begitu sampai sekarang engkau tidak mau mendengarkan.
And you will say to him: ‘The Lord God of the Hebrews sent me to you, saying: Release my people in order to sacrifice to me in the desert. And even until the present time, you were not willing to listen.
17 Sebab itu beginilah firman TUHAN: Dari hal yang berikut akan kauketahui, bahwa Akulah TUHAN. Lihat, dengan tongkat yang di tanganku ini akan kupukul air yang di sungai Nil dan air itu akan berubah menjadi darah,
Therefore, thus says the Lord: In this you will know that I am the Lord. Behold, I will strike, with the staff that is in my hand, the water of the river, and it will be turned into blood.
18 dan ikan yang dalam sungai Nil akan mati, sehingga sungai Nil akan berbau busuk; maka orang Mesir akan segan meminum air dari sungai Nil ini."
Also, the fishes that are in the river will die, and the waters will be polluted, and the Egyptians will be afflicted when they drink the water of the river.’”
19 TUHAN berfirman kepada Musa: "Katakanlah kepada Harun: Ambillah tongkatmu, ulurkanlah tanganmu ke atas segala air orang Mesir, ke atas sungai, selokan, kolam dan ke atas segala kumpulan air yang ada pada mereka, supaya semuanya menjadi darah, dan akan ada darah di seluruh tanah Mesir, bahkan dalam wadah kayu dan wadah batu."
The Lord also said to Moses: “Say to Aaron: ‘Take your staff; and extend your hand over the waters of Egypt, and over their rivers and streams and marshes and all the pools of waters, so that they may be turned into blood. And let there be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, as much in vessels of wood as in those of stone.’”
20 Demikianlah Musa dan Harun berbuat seperti yang difirmankan TUHAN; diangkatnya tongkat itu dan dipukulkannya kepada air yang di sungai Nil, di depan mata Firaun dan pegawai-pegawainya, maka seluruh air yang di sungai Nil berubah menjadi darah;
And Moses and Aaron did just as the Lord had instructed. And lifting up the staff, he struck the water of the river in the sight of Pharaoh and his servants. And it was turned into blood.
21 matilah ikan di sungai Nil, sehingga sungai Nil itu berbau busuk dan orang Mesir tidak dapat meminum air dari sungai Nil; dan di seluruh tanah Mesir ada darah.
And the fishes that were in the river died, and the river was polluted, and the Egyptians were not able to drink the water of the river, and there was blood throughout the entire land of Egypt.
22 Tetapi para ahli Mesir membuat yang demikian juga dengan ilmu-ilmu mantera mereka, sehingga hati Firaun berkeras dan ia tidak mau mendengarkan mereka keduanya seperti yang telah difirmankan TUHAN.
And the sorcerers of the Egyptians, with their incantations, did similarly. And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, he did not listen to them, just as the Lord had instructed.
23 Firaun berpaling, lalu masuk ke istananya dan tidak mau memperhatikan hal itu juga.
And he turned himself away, and he entered his house, neither did he apply his heart to this turn of events.
24 Tetapi semua orang Mesir menggali-gali di sekitar sungai Nil mencari air untuk diminum, sebab mereka tidak dapat meminum air sungai Nil.
Then all the Egyptians dug along the borders of the river for water to drink. For they were not able to drink from the water of the river.
25 Demikianlah genap tujuh hari berlalu setelah TUHAN menulahi sungai Nil.
And seven days were completed, after the Lord struck the river.
