Keluaran 14
1 Berfirmanlah TUHAN kepada Musa, demikian:
Now 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 children of Israel, that they turn back and camp before Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, before Baal Zephon. You shall camp opposite it by the sea.
3 Maka Firaun akan berkata tentang orang Israel: Mereka telah sesat di negeri ini, padang gurun telah mengurung mereka.
Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, 'They are wandering in the land. The wilderness has boxed them in.'
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 Pharaoh's heart, and he will pursue them. And I will gain glory because of Pharaoh and because of all his army, and the Egyptians shall 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 when the king of Egypt was told that the people had fled, the heart of Pharaoh and his servants was turned against the people, and they said, "What is this we have done, that we have let Israel go from serving us?"
6 Kemudian ia memasang keretanya dan membawa rakyatnya serta.
Then he made ready his chariot, and took his army with him;
7 Ia membawa enam ratus kereta yang terpilih, ya, segala kereta Mesir, masing-masing lengkap dengan perwiranya.
and he took six hundred select chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and officers over all of them.
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 after the children of Israel; and the children of Israel were going out triumphantly.
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 the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh and his horsemen and his army, and overtook them camping by the sea, beside Pi-hahiroth, before 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,
When Pharaoh drew near, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and look, the Egyptians were marching after them, and they were very afraid. So the children of Israel 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, "Was it because there were no graves in Egypt that you have taken us away to die in the wilderness? What have you done to us by bringing 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."
Isn't this the word that we spoke to you in Egypt, saying, 'Leave us alone so that we may serve the Egyptians?' For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians 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.
But Moses said to the people, "Do not be afraid, stand still, and see the salvation of God, which he will work for you today, for the Egyptians you see today, you will never, ever see again.
14 TUHAN akan berperang untuk kamu, dan kamu akan diam saja."
The LORD will fight for you, and you must be still."
15 Berfirmanlah TUHAN kepada Musa: "Mengapakah engkau berseru-seru demikian kepada-Ku? Katakanlah kepada orang Israel, supaya mereka berangkat.
Then the LORD said to Moses, "Why are you crying out to me? Tell the children of Israel to go forward.
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.
And as for you, lift up your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it, and the children of Israel will go 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.
And as for me, look, I am going to harden the hearts of the Egyptians so that they will go in after them, and I will receive glory over Pharaoh and all his army, his chariots and his horsemen.
18 Maka orang Mesir akan mengetahui, bahwa Akulah TUHAN, apabila Aku memperlihatkan kemuliaan-Ku terhadap Firaun, keretanya dan orangnya yang berkuda."
Then the Egyptians will know that I am the LORD, when I receive glory over Pharaoh, his chariots and 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 was going in front of the camp of Israel moved and went behind them, and the pillar of cloud moved from in front of them and stood behind them.
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.
So it came between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel. Thus it was a cloud and darkness and it lit up the night so that the one did not come near the other all 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.
Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the LORD pushed the sea back by a strong east wind all night, and made the sea into dry land, so the waters were 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.
Then the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea on the dry ground, and the waters were a wall to them on their right and on their left.
23 Orang Mesir mengejar dan menyusul mereka--segala kuda Firaun, keretanya dan orangnya yang berkuda--sampai ke tengah-tengah laut.
And the Egyptians pursued and went in after them into the midst of the sea, all of Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.
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 it happened, in the morning watch, that the LORD looked down on the Egyptian camp through the pillar of fire and cloud and threw the camp into confusion.
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 bound their chariot wheels so that they drove them with difficulty. And the Egyptians said, "Let's flee from before Israel, for the LORD fights for them against the Egypt."
26 Berfirmanlah TUHAN kepada Musa: "Ulurkanlah tanganmu ke atas laut, supaya air berbalik meliputi orang Mesir, meliputi kereta mereka dan orang mereka yang berkuda."
Then the LORD said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand over the sea, so that the waters may flow back on the Egyptians, on their chariots, and on their 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.
So Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its normal state at daybreak. Now the Egyptians were trying to escape from it, but the LORD shook off the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
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.
Then the waters returned and covered the chariots, the horsemen, the entire army of Pharaoh that had followed them into the sea. None of them survived.
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 children of Israel walked on dry ground in the midst of the sea, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their 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.
Thus the LORD saved Israel that day from the power of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore.
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.
When Israel saw the great power which the LORD used against the Egyptians, then the people feared the LORD, and they believed God and his servant Moses.
