Exodus 15
1 Then Moses/I sang this song, and the Israeli people sang with him: “I will sing to Yahweh, because he has triumphed gloriously; He has thrown the horses and their riders into the sea!
Kemudian Musa dan umat Israel menyanyikan lagu ini untuk memuji TUHAN, “Aku akan bernyanyi bagi TUHAN sebab Dia sudah menang dengan jaya. Dia sudah melemparkan kuda dan penunggangnya ke dalam laut.
2 Yahweh is the one who makes me strong, and he is the one I sing about. He is the one who has saved me. He is (my God/God, the one I worship), and I will praise him. He is the one my father worshiped, and I will tell [others] how great he is.
TUHAN adalah sumber kekuatanku, karena itu aku bernyanyi. Dialah yang menyelamatkan aku. Dialah Allah yang akan aku puji. Dialah Allah yang disembah ayahku dan nenek moyangku. Aku akan meninggikan Dia!
3 Yahweh is a warrior; Yahweh is his name.
TUHAN adalah pahlawan perang. Nama-Nya adalah TUHAN.
4 He has thrown the king’s chariots and his army into the sea; His best officers all drowned in the Red Sea (OR, Gulf of Suez).
Dia sudah melemparkan kereta-kereta raja Mesir dan segenap pasukannya ke dalam laut. Perwira-perwira terbaik ditenggelamkan-Nya ke Laut Merah.
5 The [water covered them like] a flood; they sank to the bottom like a stone.
Laut yang dalam menelan mereka. Seperti batu mereka tenggelam ke dasar laut.
6 O Yahweh, your right arm has awesome power; with that power [MTY], O Yahweh, you have crushed/smashed the enemy into pieces.
Tangan kanan-Mu, ya TUHAN, hebat penuh kuasa. Tangan kanan-Mu, ya TUHAN, menghancurkan semua musuh.
7 You have gloriously defeated your enemies. Because you were angry with them, you have [destroyed them] like a fire burns up straw [SIM].
Ketika Engkau membinasakan musuh-musuh-Mu Engkau mendapat kehormatan besar. Engkau melepaskan api murka-Mu dan membakar mereka bagai rumput kering belaka.
8 You blew on the sea, and the water piled up high; the water stood up like two walls. In the deepest part of the sea [the water] became thick/solid, [as though] it was frozen.
Oleh hembusan nafas-Mu, air laut menggulung tinggi, berdiri tegak seperti tembok, dan dasar laut menjadi kering.
9 [Our] enemies said, ‘We will pursue them and catch up to them. We will draw our swords and strike them. After we defeat them, we will divide up the spoils. We will take [from them] all we want.’
Musuh kami berkata, ‘Aku akan mengejar dan menangkap mereka. Aku akan membunuh mereka dengan pedang. Lalu aku merampas semua harta mereka, membagi-bagikannya, dan menikmatinya sampai puas.’
10 But you blew on them with your breath, and then the sea covered them. They sank like lead/rocks in the big waves.
Tetapi dengan hembusan nafas-Mu, laut menggulung mereka. Mereka tenggelam bagaikan sepotong besi di dalam gelora air yang dahsyat.
11 Yahweh, among their gods, there is no god like you [RHQ]! You are glorious, completely different from all that you made. (There is no god like you!/What god is like you?) [RHQ] There is no one who can perform all kinds of miracles [DOU] like you do [RHQ]!
Tidak ada penguasa seperti Engkau, ya TUHAN! Engkau hebat dalam kekudusan-Mu, dikagumi dan dipuji karena perbuatan-Mu yang menakjubkan. Engkau pembuat keajaiban.
12 When you stretched out your right hand, the earth swallowed up [our enemies]
Engkau merentangkan tangan kanan-Mu, dan bumi pun menelan mereka.
13 You faithfully loved the people you rescued; with your power you are leading them to the land that you have set apart.
Karena Engkau setia dan berbaik hati, Engkau memimpin orang-orang yang sudah Engkau tebus. Dengan kekuatan-Mu, Engkau menuntun mereka menuju tempat kediaman-Mu yang kudus.
14 The people of [other] nations will hear [what you have done]; and they will tremble. The people in Philistia will be terrified.
Bangsa-bangsa lain akan mendengar perbuatan-Mu, dan mereka akan gemetar. Penduduk Filistin akan dilanda ketakutan.
15 The chiefs in Edom will be dismayed. The leaders in Moab will be so afraid, they will shake. All those who live in Canaan will faint.
Para pemimpin Edom akan terguncang. Para pemimpin Moab akan gemetar. Orang Kanaan akan lemas karena kegentaran.
16 They will be terrified and fearful because of your great strength [MTY]. But they will be as silent as stones until your people march past them, the people you freed from being slaves in Egypt,
Mereka akan merasa ngeri dan ketakutan menyaksikan kuasa-Mu, dan mereka akan terdiam seperti batu sampai umat-Mu yang sudah Engkau tebus, ya TUHAN, berjalan melewati mereka.
17 to go to [Canaan land]. You will enable them to live [MET] on your hill, at the place that you, O Yahweh, have chosen to be your home, in the (holy place/temple) that you yourself will build.
Engkau akan membawa umat-Mu ke atas gunung-Mu, di mana Engkau membuat kediaman-Mu, ya TUHAN, ke tempat kudus yang Engkau dirikan dengan tangan-Mu sendiri, ya Penguasa kami.
18 O Yahweh, you will rule forever!
Engkaulah, TUHAN, yang berkuasa dan memerintah sampai selama-lamanya!”
19 The Israeli people walked through the middle of the sea on dry ground. But when the king’s horses and chariots and horsemen tried to go through the sea, Yahweh caused the water to come back and cover them.”
Ketika umat Israel berjalan menyeberang laut di atas tanah yang kering, semua pasukan raja Mesir, termasuk pasukan berkuda, kereta, dan pengendaranya, mengejar mereka ke tengah laut. Lalu TUHAN membuat tembok air menyatu kembali seperti semula dan menenggelamkan mereka.
20 Then Miriam, who was Aaron’s older sister and a (prophetess/woman who spoke messages that came directly from God), picked up her tambourine,
Lalu Miryam, kakak perempuan Harun yang juga seorang nabi perempuan, mengambil rebana dan memukulnya sambil menari-nari. Semua perempuan mengikutinya,
21 and she sang this song to Yahweh: “Sing to Yahweh, because he has triumphed gloriously [over his enemies]. He has thrown the horses and their riders into the sea.”
dan Miryam memimpin mereka menyanyi, “Bernyanyilah bagi TUHAN, karena Dia sudah menang dengan jaya. Dia sudah melemparkan seluruh pasukan berkuda itu ke dalam laut.”
22 Then Moses/I led the Israeli people away from the Red Sea (OR, Gulf of Suez). They/we went to the desert at Shur. They/We walked for three days, but they/we could not find any water.
Kemudian Musa memimpin umat Israel meninggalkan Laut Merah menuju padang belantara Syur. Mereka berjalan selama tiga hari di padang belantara itu tanpa menemukan air.
23 So they/we [went on and] came to a [place named] Marah. [There was] water [there, but] they/we could not drink it, because it was bitter. That is why they named the place Marah, [which is the Hebrew word that means ‘bitter’].
Setibanya di Mara, mereka menemukan air, tetapi air di sana tidak bisa diminum karena pahit. Itulah sebabnya tempat itu dinamai ‘Mara’, yang artinya ‘pahit’.
24 The people complained to Moses/me, saying, “What are we going to drink?”
Mereka bersungut-sungut kepada Musa dan berkata, “Apa yang akan kita minum?!”
25 So Moses/I prayed earnestly to Yahweh. Then Yahweh showed him/me a tree. So he/I cut off [one of the branches] and threw it into the water, and the water became good to drink. There at Marah, Yahweh gave them various laws to direct their lives. He also tested them there, to determine if they would obey him,
Maka Musa berseru kepada TUHAN, dan TUHAN menunjukkan kepadanya sebatang kayu. Musa melemparkan kayu itu ke air, lalu air itu berubah menjadi air tawar sehingga dapat diminum. Di tempat itu, TUHAN memberikan ketetapan sebagai pengukur untuk menguji ketaatan mereka masing-masing dengan berkata,
26 by saying, “I am Yahweh, your God. If you will carefully obey me when I speak [to you], and do those things that I know are right, and pay close attention to all the things that I command you, I will keep you from being afflicted by all the diseases that I brought on the Egyptians. Do not forget that I am the one who heals you.”
“Taatilah Aku, TUHAN Allahmu, dengan sungguh-sungguh. Turutilah semua perintah dan ketetapan-Ku, dan lakukanlah yang baik di mata-Ku, maka Aku tidak akan menghukum kamu dengan berbagai penyakit seperti yang sudah Aku lakukan terhadap bangsa Mesir. Akulah TUHAN yang menyembuhkan kamu.”
27 [After they/we left Marah], they/we came to a [place named] Elim. There were twelve springs of water and 70 palm trees there. So they/we camped there.
Sesudah itu, tibalah mereka di Elim. Di sana terdapat dua belas mata air dan tujuh puluh pohon kurma. Mereka berkemah di dekat mata air itu.
