Exodus 7
1 The LORD said to Moses, “Behold, I have made you as God to Pharaoh; and Aaron your brother shall be your prophet.
TUHAN berkata kepada Musa, "Aku akan menjadikan engkau seperti Allah di hadapan raja, dan saudaramu Harun akan bicara kepadanya sebagai nabimu.
2 You shall speak all that I command you; and Aaron your brother shall speak to Pharaoh, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land.
Sampaikan kepada Harun semua yang Kuperintahkan kepadamu. Suruhlah Harun mengatakan kepada raja bahwa ia harus mengizinkan orang Israel meninggalkan negeri Mesir.
3 I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.
Tetapi Aku akan menjadikan raja keras kepala. Ia tidak akan mempedulikan engkau, sekalipun Aku mendatangkan banyak bencana di Mesir.
4 But Pharaoh will not listen to you, so I will lay my hand on Egypt, and bring out my armies, my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments.
Karena itu Aku akan menghukum Mesir dengan hukuman-hukuman yang berat, kemudian Kubawa seluruh bangsa Israel, umat-Ku, keluar dari negeri itu.
5 The Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD when I stretch out my hand on Egypt, and bring the children of Israel out from among them.”
Maka orang Mesir akan tahu bahwa Aku ini TUHAN, pada waktu Aku menghukum mereka dan membawa Israel keluar dari negeri mereka."
6 Moses and Aaron did so. As the LORD commanded them, so they did.
Musa dan Harun melakukan apa yang diperintahkan TUHAN.
7 Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron eighty-three years old, when they spoke to Pharaoh.
Musa berumur 80 tahun dan Harun 83 tahun ketika mereka menghadap raja Mesir.
8 The LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
TUHAN berkata kepada Musa dan Harun,
9 “When Pharaoh speaks to you, saying, ‘Perform a miracle!’ then you shall tell Aaron, ‘Take your rod, and cast it down before Pharaoh, and it will become a serpent.’”
"Kalau raja meminta kamu membuat keajaiban sebagai bukti, suruhlah Harun mengambil tongkatnya dan melemparkannya ke tanah di depan raja. Tongkat itu akan berubah menjadi ular."
10 Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and they did so, as the LORD had commanded. Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it became a serpent.
Maka pergilah Musa dan Harun menghadap raja dan mereka melakukan apa yang diperintahkan Allah. Harun melemparkan tongkatnya ke tanah di depan raja dan para pegawainya, lalu tongkat itu berubah menjadi ular.
11 Then Pharaoh also called for the wise men and the sorcerers. They also, the magicians of Egypt, did the same thing with their enchantments.
Karena itu raja pun memanggil orang-orangnya yang berilmu dan ahli-ahli sihirnya, lalu mereka melakukan begitu juga dengan ilmu gaib mereka.
12 For they each cast down their rods, and they became serpents; but Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods.
Mereka melemparkan tongkat mereka ke tanah dan tongkat-tongkat itu berubah menjadi ular. Tetapi tongkat Harun menelan tongkat mereka.
13 Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he did not listen to them, as the LORD had spoken.
Meskipun begitu, raja tetap berkeras kepala dan tidak mau mempedulikan perkataan Musa dan Harun, seperti yang sudah dikatakan TUHAN.
14 The LORD said to Moses, “Pharaoh’s heart is stubborn. He refuses to let the people go.
Kemudian TUHAN berkata kepada Musa, "Raja itu sangat keras kepala; ia tidak mau mengizinkan bangsa Israel pergi.
15 Go to Pharaoh in the morning. Behold, he is going out to the water. You shall stand by the river’s bank to meet him. You shall take the rod which was turned to a serpent in your hand.
Sebab itu pergilah menemui dia pagi-pagi, pada waktu ia turun ke Sungai Nil. Bawalah tongkat yang dapat berubah menjadi ular itu dan tunggulah kedatangannya di tepi sungai.
16 You shall tell him, ‘The LORD, the God of the Hebrews, has sent me to you, saying, “Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness. Behold, until now you have not listened.”
Katakanlah kepada raja itu: TUHAN, Allah orang Ibrani, mengutus saya untuk menyampaikan kepada Tuanku supaya mengizinkan umat-Nya pergi untuk beribadat kepada-Nya di padang gurun. Tetapi sampai sekarang Tuanku tidak mau mendengarkan.
17 The LORD says, “In this you shall know that I am the LORD. Behold: I will strike with the rod that is in my hand on the waters which are in the river, and they shall be turned to blood.
Sebab itu, TUHAN berkata begini, 'Dari apa yang Kulakukan nanti, engkau akan tahu bahwa Akulah TUHAN. Dengan tongkat ini saya akan memukul permukaan air sungai, dan airnya akan berubah menjadi darah.
18 The fish that are in the river will die and the river will become foul. The Egyptians will loathe to drink water from the river.”’”
Ikan-ikan akan mati, dan sungai ini akan berbau busuk, sehingga bangsa Mesir tak bisa minum airnya.'"
19 The LORD said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Take your rod, and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt, over their rivers, over their streams, and over their pools, and over all their ponds of water, that they may become blood. There will be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood and in vessels of stone.’”
TUHAN berkata kepada Musa, "Suruhlah Harun mengambil tongkatnya dan mengacungkannya ke atas semua sungai, saluran-saluran dan kolam-kolam di Mesir. Airnya akan menjadi darah, dan di seluruh negeri akan ada darah, bahkan dalam tong-tong kayu dan tempayan-tempayan batu."
20 Moses and Aaron did so, as the LORD commanded; and he lifted up the rod, and struck the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight of his servants; and all the waters that were in the river were turned to blood.
Musa dan Harun melakukan apa yang diperintahkan TUHAN. Di depan raja dan para pegawainya, Harun mengangkat tongkatnya dan memukul air Sungai Nil, maka airnya berubah menjadi darah.
21 The fish that were in the river died. The river became foul. The Egyptians could not drink water from the river. The blood was throughout all the land of Egypt.
Ikan-ikan di dalam sungai itu mati, dan baunya busuk sekali, sehingga orang Mesir tidak bisa minum air itu. Di seluruh tanah Mesir ada darah.
22 The magicians of Egypt did the same thing with their enchantments. So Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he did not listen to them, as the LORD had spoken.
Tetapi para ahli sihir Mesir berbuat begitu juga dengan ilmu gaib mereka, sehingga raja tetap keras kepala. Seperti yang sudah dikatakan TUHAN, raja tidak mau mendengarkan Musa dan Harun.
23 Pharaoh turned and went into his house, and he did not even take this to heart.
Malahan ia pulang ke istana tanpa mempedulikan kejadian itu sedikit pun.
24 All the Egyptians dug around the river for water to drink; for they could not drink the river water.
Semua orang Mesir menggali lubang di sepanjang tepi sungai untuk mencari air minum, karena air sungai itu tidak bisa diminum.
25 Seven days were fulfilled, after the LORD had struck the river.
Tujuh hari lewat sesudah TUHAN mengutuki Sungai Nil.
