Keluaran 9
1 TUHAN berkata kepada Musa, “Pergilah menghadap raja dan sampaikan bahwa TUHAN, Allah umat Israel, berkata, ‘Biarkanlah umat-Ku pergi agar mereka dapat menyembah-Ku!
Then the Lord said to Moses: “Enter to Pharaoh, and say to him: ‘Thus says the Lord God of the Hebrews: Release my people, to sacrifice to me.
2 Jika engkau menolak dan tetap menahan mereka,
But if you still refuse, and you retain them,
3 maka dengan kuasa-Ku, Aku akan mendatangkan wabah penyakit yang sangat parah atas ternakmu, yaitu kuda, keledai, unta, domba, kambing, dan sapi.
behold, my hand will be over your fields. And a very grievous pestilence will be upon the horses, and the donkeys, and the camels, and the oxen, and the sheep.
4 Dalam wabah ini, Aku akan membedakan ternak milik umat Israel dari ternak milik orang Mesir. Tidak seekor pun ternak milik umat Israel yang akan mati.’”
And the Lord will cause a miracle between the possessions of Israel and the possessions of the Egyptians, so that nothing at all will perish from those things which belong to the sons of Israel.”
5 TUHAN juga menentukan waktu terjadinya wabah itu. Dia berkata kepada Musa, “Aku akan melakukan bencana ini besok.”
And the Lord appointed a time, saying: “Tomorrow, the Lord will accomplish this word in the land.”
6 Keesokan harinya, TUHAN menepati perkataan-Nya itu. Semua ternak milik orang Mesir mati, tetapi tidak satu pun ternak orang Israel yang mati.
Therefore, the Lord accomplished this word the next day. And all the animals of the Egyptians died. Yet truly, of the animals of the sons of Israel, nothing at all perished.
7 Lalu raja mengirim utusannya untuk menyelidiki, dan benarlah demikian, bahwa tidak ada satu pun ternak umat Israel yang mati. Meski begitu, raja mengeraskan hatinya dan tidak mau membiarkan mereka pergi.
And Pharaoh sent to see; neither was there anything dead of those things that Israel possessed. And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not release the people.
8 Lalu TUHAN berkata kepada Musa dan Harun, “Ambillah beberapa genggam abu dari tempat pembakaran. Musa harus melemparkan abu itu ke udara di hadapan raja.
And the Lord said to Moses and to Aaron: “Take handfuls of ashes from the oven, and let Moses sprinkle it into the air, in the sight of Pharaoh.
9 Abu itu akan menjadi debu halus yang akan tersebar ke seluruh Mesir dan menyebabkan bisul-bisul bernanah pada manusia dan binatang di seluruh Mesir.”
And let there be dust upon all the land of Egypt. For there will be sores and swelling pustules on men and on beasts, throughout the entire land of Egypt.”
10 Maka Musa dan Harun mengambil abu dari tempat pembakaran dan menghadap raja. Musa melemparkan abu itu ke udara, lalu timbullah bisul-bisul bernanah pada kulit semua orang dan binatang di Mesir. Mereka sangat menderita, bahkan para ahli sihir tidak sanggup berdiri di hadapan Musa karena kesakitan akibat bisul bernanah itu.
And they took ashes from the oven, and they stood in the sight of Pharaoh, and Moses sprinkled it in the air. And there came sores with swelling pustules on men and on beasts.
Neither could the sorcerers stand in the sight of Moses, because of the sores that were on them and on all the land of Egypt.
12 Tetapi TUHAN mengeraskan hati raja, dan seperti yang sudah TUHAN katakan sebelumnya, raja tetap tidak menghiraukan perkataan Musa dan Harun.
And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he did not listen to them, just as the Lord said to Moses.
13 Kemudian TUHAN berkata kepada Musa, “Besok, bangunlah pagi-pagi dan pergilah menghadap raja Mesir. Katakanlah kepadanya, ‘TUHAN, Allah umat Israel, berkata: Biarkanlah umat-Ku pergi agar mereka dapat menyembah-Ku.
And the Lord said to Moses: “Rise up in the morning, and stand in the sight of Pharaoh, and you will say to him: ‘Thus says the Lord God of the Hebrews: Release my people to sacrifice to me.
14 Kalau tidak, maka kali ini Aku akan mendatangkan bencana yang lebih hebat lagi kepadamu, para pegawaimu, dan rakyatmu, agar engkau tahu bahwa tidak ada yang seperti Aku di seluruh bumi ini.
For at this turn, I will send all my plagues upon your heart, and upon your servants, and upon your people. So may you know that there is no one like me in all the earth.
15 Aku bisa saja menggunakan kuasa-Ku untuk menyerang engkau dan rakyatmu dengan penyakit serta melenyapkan kalian dari muka bumi.
For now, extending my hand, I shall strike you and your people with pestilence, and you will perish from the earth.
16 Tetapi Aku membiarkan engkau hidup untuk tujuan ini, yaitu menunjukkan kuasa-Ku kepadamu. Dengan demikian, nama-Ku akan dimuliakan di seluruh bumi.
But it was for this reason that I appointed you, so that I may reveal my strength by you, and so that my name may be described throughout all the earth.
17 Meskipun demikian, engkau masih saja sombong dan tidak membiarkan umat-Ku pergi.
Do you still retain my people, and are you still unwilling to release them?
18 Besok, sekitar waktu yang sama seperti sekarang, Aku akan menurunkan hujan es yang sangat dahsyat, yang belum pernah terjadi sebelumnya di seluruh Mesir.
So then, tomorrow, at this same hour, I will rain down exceedingly great hail, such as has not been in Egypt from the day that it was founded, even until this present time.
19 Karena itu, bawalah seluruh ternak kalian yang berada di padang untuk berlindung ke tempat yang aman. Setiap orang dan binatang yang masih di padang akan mati tertimpa hujan es!’”
Therefore, send immediately and gather together your cattle, and all that you have in the field. For men and beasts, and all things that will be found outside, not gathered in from the fields, and on which the hail will fall, shall die.’”
20 Maka para pejabat raja yang takut akan perkataan TUHAN segera membawa masuk semua budak dan ternak mereka untuk berlindung.
He who feared the word of the Lord among the servants of Pharaoh caused his servants and cattle to flee together into the houses.
21 Tetapi orang-orang yang tidak menghiraukan perkataan TUHAN membiarkan budak dan ternak mereka di padang.
But he who neglected the word of the Lord released his servants and cattle into the fields.
22 Lalu TUHAN berkata kepada Musa, “Arahkanlah tanganmu ke langit, agar hujan es turun di seluruh Mesir menimpa setiap orang, binatang, dan tanaman di padang.”
And the Lord said to Moses: “Extend your hand into the sky, so that there may be hail in the entire land of Egypt, on men, and on beasts, and on every plant of the field in the land of Egypt.”
23 Musa mengarahkan tongkatnya ke langit, dan TUHAN menurunkan hujan es di seluruh tanah Mesir disertai guntur dan petir yang menyambar-nyambar ke tanah.
And Moses extended his staff into the sky, and the Lord sent thunder and hail, and also lightning dashing across the earth. And the Lord rained down hail upon the land of Egypt.
24 Sepanjang sejarah bangsa Mesir, belum pernah terjadi hujan es yang turun terus-menerus beserta sambaran petir seperti ini.
And the hail and intermingled fire drove on together. And it was of such magnitude as had never before been seen in the entire land of Egypt, from the time when that nation was formed.
25 Hujan es menghantam semua yang ada di ladang di seluruh Mesir, baik manusia, binatang, tanaman, maupun pepohonan.
And the hail struck, throughout all the land of Egypt, everything that was in the fields, from man even to beast. And the hail struck down every plant of the field, and it broke every tree of the region.
26 Hanya Gosyen, tempat tinggal umat Israel, yang tidak terkena hujan es.
Only in the land of Goshen, where the sons of Israel were, did the hail not fall.
27 Lalu raja memanggil Musa dan Harun untuk menghadap dia dan berkata, “Kali ini saya mengaku sudah berdosa. Dewamu memang benar, dan saya beserta seluruh rakyat saya bersalah.
And Pharaoh sent and called Moses and Aaron, saying to them: “I have sinned even until now. The Lord is just. I and my people are impious.
28 Mintalah kepada dewamu untuk menghentikan hujan es dan guntur yang dahsyat ini! Kami tidak tahan lagi. Saya akan membiarkan kalian pergi. Kalian tidak usah tinggal lebih lama lagi.”
Pray to the Lord, so that the thundering of God and the hail may cease, so that I may release you, and so that you may by no means remain here any longer.”
29 Jawab Musa kepada raja, “Baik. Ketika saya meninggalkan kota ini, saya akan mengangkat tangan kepada TUHAN. Guntur akan berhenti dan tidak akan ada hujan es lagi, agar kalian tahu bahwa bumi adalah milik TUHAN.
Moses said: “When I have departed from the city, I will extend my hands to the Lord, and the thunders will cease, and the hail will not be, so that you may know that the earth belongs to the Lord.
30 Tetapi saya tahu bahwa engkau dan pejabatmu masih tidak takut kepada TUHAN Allah.”
But I know that both you and your servants do not yet fear the Lord God.”
31 Pada waktu itu, jelai sudah hampir siap panen dan rami sedang berbunga. Jadi, hujan es menggagalkan panen tanaman-tanaman tersebut.
And so, the flax and the barley were damaged, because the barley was growing, and the flax was already developing grains.
32 Akan tetapi, gandum dan sekoi tidak rusak karena belum musimnya.
But the wheat and the spelt were not damaged, because they were late.
33 Kemudian Musa meninggalkan raja. Dia pergi ke luar kota dan mengangkat tangannya kepada TUHAN. Maka berhentilah guntur, hujan, dan hujan es itu.
And Moses, departing from Pharaoh out of the city, reached out his hands toward the Lord. And the thunders and hail ceased, neither did there drop any more rain upon the land.
34 Ketika raja melihat bahwa hujan, hujan es, dan guntur sudah berhenti, dia dan para pejabatnya pun berdosa lagi dengan mengeraskan hati mereka.
Then Pharaoh, seeing that the rain, and the hail, and the thunders had ceased, added to his sin.
35 Raja tetap tidak membiarkan umat Israel pergi, sesuai dengan yang sudah TUHAN katakan kepada Musa.
And his heart was weighed down, along with that of his servants, and it was hardened exceedingly. Neither did he release the sons of Israel, just as the Lord had instructed by the hand of Moses.
