Exodus 9
1 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go in to Pharaoh, and tell him, ‘This is what the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, says: “Let my people go, that they may serve me.
TUHAN berkata kepada Musa, “Pergilah menghadap raja dan sampaikan bahwa TUHAN, Allah umat Israel, berkata, ‘Biarkanlah umat-Ku pergi agar mereka dapat menyembah-Ku!
2 For if you refuse to let them go, and hold them still,
Jika engkau menolak dan tetap menahan mereka,
3 behold, the LORD’s hand is on your livestock which are in the field, on the horses, on the donkeys, on the camels, on the herds, and on the flocks with a very grievous pestilence.
maka dengan kuasa-Ku, Aku akan mendatangkan wabah penyakit yang sangat parah atas ternakmu, yaitu kuda, keledai, unta, domba, kambing, dan sapi.
4 The LORD will make a distinction between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt; and nothing shall die of all that belongs to the children of Israel.”’”
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.’”
5 The LORD appointed a set time, saying, “Tomorrow the LORD shall do this thing in the land.”
TUHAN juga menentukan waktu terjadinya wabah itu. Dia berkata kepada Musa, “Aku akan melakukan bencana ini besok.”
6 The LORD did that thing on the next day; and all the livestock of Egypt died, but of the livestock of the children of Israel, not one died.
Keesokan harinya, TUHAN menepati perkataan-Nya itu. Semua ternak milik orang Mesir mati, tetapi tidak satu pun ternak orang Israel yang mati.
7 Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there was not so much as one of the livestock of the Israelites dead. But the heart of Pharaoh was stubborn, and he did not let the people go.
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.
8 The LORD said to Moses and to Aaron, “Take handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it toward the sky in the sight of Pharaoh.
Lalu TUHAN berkata kepada Musa dan Harun, “Ambillah beberapa genggam abu dari tempat pembakaran. Musa harus melemparkan abu itu ke udara di hadapan raja.
9 It shall become small dust over all the land of Egypt, and shall be boils and blisters breaking out on man and on animal, throughout all the land of Egypt.”
Abu itu akan menjadi debu halus yang akan tersebar ke seluruh Mesir dan menyebabkan bisul-bisul bernanah pada manusia dan binatang di seluruh Mesir.”
10 They took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it up toward the sky; and it became boils and blisters breaking out on man and on animal.
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.
11 The magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boils were on the magicians and on all the Egyptians.
12 The LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he did not listen to them, as the LORD had spoken to Moses.
Tetapi TUHAN mengeraskan hati raja, dan seperti yang sudah TUHAN katakan sebelumnya, raja tetap tidak menghiraukan perkataan Musa dan Harun.
13 The LORD said to Moses, “Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and tell him, ‘This is what the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, says: “Let my people go, that they may serve me.
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.
14 For this time I will send all my plagues against your heart, against your officials, and against your people; that you may know that there is no one like me in all the earth.
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.
15 For now I would have stretched out my hand, and struck you and your people with pestilence, and you would have been cut off from the earth;
Aku bisa saja menggunakan kuasa-Ku untuk menyerang engkau dan rakyatmu dengan penyakit serta melenyapkan kalian dari muka bumi.
16 but indeed for this cause I have made you stand: to show you my power, and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth,
Tetapi Aku membiarkan engkau hidup untuk tujuan ini, yaitu menunjukkan kuasa-Ku kepadamu. Dengan demikian, nama-Ku akan dimuliakan di seluruh bumi.
17 because you still exalt yourself against my people, that you will not let them go.
Meskipun demikian, engkau masih saja sombong dan tidak membiarkan umat-Ku pergi.
18 Behold, tomorrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as has not been in Egypt since the day it was founded even until now.
Besok, sekitar waktu yang sama seperti sekarang, Aku akan menurunkan hujan es yang sangat dahsyat, yang belum pernah terjadi sebelumnya di seluruh Mesir.
19 Now therefore command that all of your livestock and all that you have in the field be brought into shelter. The hail will come down on every man and animal that is found in the field, and is not brought home, and they will die.”’”
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!’”
20 Those who feared the LORD’s word among the servants of Pharaoh made their servants and their livestock flee into the houses.
Maka para pejabat raja yang takut akan perkataan TUHAN segera membawa masuk semua budak dan ternak mereka untuk berlindung.
21 Whoever did not respect the LORD’s word left his servants and his livestock in the field.
Tetapi orang-orang yang tidak menghiraukan perkataan TUHAN membiarkan budak dan ternak mereka di padang.
22 The LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward the sky, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, on man, and on animal, and on every herb of the field, throughout the land of Egypt.”
Lalu TUHAN berkata kepada Musa, “Arahkanlah tanganmu ke langit, agar hujan es turun di seluruh Mesir menimpa setiap orang, binatang, dan tanaman di padang.”
23 Moses stretched out his rod toward the heavens, and the LORD sent thunder and hail; and lightning flashed down to the earth. The LORD rained hail on the land of Egypt.
Musa mengarahkan tongkatnya ke langit, dan TUHAN menurunkan hujan es di seluruh tanah Mesir disertai guntur dan petir yang menyambar-nyambar ke tanah.
24 So there was very severe hail, and lightning mixed with the hail, such as had not been in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.
Sepanjang sejarah bangsa Mesir, belum pernah terjadi hujan es yang turun terus-menerus beserta sambaran petir seperti ini.
25 The hail struck throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and animal; and the hail struck every herb of the field, and broke every tree of the field.
Hujan es menghantam semua yang ada di ladang di seluruh Mesir, baik manusia, binatang, tanaman, maupun pepohonan.
26 Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, there was no hail.
Hanya Gosyen, tempat tinggal umat Israel, yang tidak terkena hujan es.
27 Pharaoh sent and called for Moses and Aaron, and said to them, “I have sinned this time. The LORD is righteous, and I and my people are wicked.
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.
28 Pray to the LORD; for there has been enough of mighty thunderings and hail. I will let you go, and you shall stay no longer.”
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.”
29 Moses said to him, “As soon as I have gone out of the city, I will spread out my hands to the LORD. The thunders shall cease, and there will not be any more hail; that you may know that the earth is the LORD’s.
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.
30 But as for you and your servants, I know that you do not yet fear the LORD God.”
Tetapi saya tahu bahwa engkau dan pejabatmu masih tidak takut kepada TUHAN Allah.”
31 The flax and the barley were struck, for the barley had ripened and the flax was blooming.
Pada waktu itu, jelai sudah hampir siap panen dan rami sedang berbunga. Jadi, hujan es menggagalkan panen tanaman-tanaman tersebut.
32 But the wheat and the spelt were not struck, for they had not grown up.
Akan tetapi, gandum dan sekoi tidak rusak karena belum musimnya.
33 Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread out his hands to the LORD; and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured on the earth.
Kemudian Musa meninggalkan raja. Dia pergi ke luar kota dan mengangkat tangannya kepada TUHAN. Maka berhentilah guntur, hujan, dan hujan es itu.
34 When Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders had ceased, he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he and his servants.
Ketika raja melihat bahwa hujan, hujan es, dan guntur sudah berhenti, dia dan para pejabatnya pun berdosa lagi dengan mengeraskan hati mereka.
35 The heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the children of Israel go, just as the LORD had spoken through Moses.
Raja tetap tidak membiarkan umat Israel pergi, sesuai dengan yang sudah TUHAN katakan kepada Musa.
