Keluaran 8

1 Lalu TUHAN berkata kepada Musa, "Pergilah menghadap raja dan sampaikan kepadanya pesan-Ku ini: 'Izinkan umat-Ku pergi untuk beribadat kepada-Ku.

And the Lord said to Moses, Go in to Pharao, and thou shalt say to him, These things says the Lord: send forth my people, that they may serve me.

2 Jika engkau menolak, negeri ini akan Kupenuhi dengan katak sebagai hukuman.

And if thou wilt not send them forth, behold, I afflict all thy borders with frogs:

3 Sungai Nil akan penuh dengan katak, sehingga binatang-binatang itu keluar dari air dan masuk ke dalam istanamu, ke dalam kamar tidur dan tempat tidurmu, ke dalam rumah-rumah para pejabat dan rakyat, bahkan ke dalam tempat pembakaran roti dan panci-panci.

and the river shall teem with frogs, and they shall go up and enter into thy houses, and into thy bed-chambers, and upon thy beds, and upon the houses of thy servants, and of thy people and on thy dough, and on thine ovens.

4 Katak-katak itu akan melompat dan memanjati engkau, semua pejabat dan rakyat.'"

And upon thee, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people, shall the frogs come up.

5 TUHAN berkata kepada Musa, "Suruhlah Harun merentangkan tongkatnya ke atas sungai-sungai, saluran-saluran dan kolam-kolam supaya katak-katak bermunculan dan memenuhi tanah Mesir."

And the Lord said to Moses, Say to Aaron thy brother, Stretch forth with the hand thy rod over the rivers, and over the canals, and over the pools, and bring up the frogs.

6 Maka Harun mengacungkan tongkatnya ke atas semua air, lalu muncullah katak-katak memenuhi seluruh negeri.

And Aaron stretched forth his hand over the waters of Egypt, and brought up the frogs: and the frog was brought up, and covered the land of Egypt.

7 Tetapi para tukang sihir memakai ilmu gaib mereka, dan juga membuat katak-katak bermunculan di negeri itu.

And the charmers of the Egyptians also did likewise with their sorceries, and brought up the frogs on the land of Egypt.

8 Raja memanggil Musa dan Harun, dan berkata, "Berdoalah kepada TUHAN supaya Ia melenyapkan katak-katak ini, maka aku akan mengizinkan bangsamu pergi untuk mempersembahkan kurban kepada TUHAN."

And Pharao called Moses and Aaron, and said, Pray for me to the Lord, and let him take away the frogs from me and from my people; and I will send them away, and they shall sacrifice to the Lord.

9 Musa menjawab, "Dengan senang hati saya akan berdoa untuk Tuanku. Tetapkanlah waktunya, maka saya akan mendoakan Tuanku, para pejabat dan rakyat. Maka Tuanku akan dibebaskan dari katak-katak itu, dan tidak akan ada yang sisa, kecuali di Sungai Nil."

And Moses said to Pharao, Appoint me [a time] when I shall pray for thee, and for thy servants, and for thy people, to cause the frogs to disappear from thee, and from thy people, and from your houses, only in the river shall they be left behind.

10 Jawab raja itu, "Berdoalah untukku besok." Kata Musa, "Saya akan melakukan apa yang Tuanku minta. Maka Tuanku akan tahu bahwa tidak ada Allah lain seperti TUHAN, Allah kami.

And he said, On the morrow: he said therefore, As thou has said; that thou mayest know, that there is no other [God] but the Lord.

11 Dia akan membebaskan Tuanku, para pejabat dan rakyat dari katak-katak itu. Tak akan ada katak di rumah-rumah, kecuali di Sungai Nil."

And the frogs shall be removed away from thee, and from your houses and from the villages, and from thy servants, and from thy people, only in the river they shall be left.

12 Lalu Musa dan Harun meninggalkan raja. Kemudian Musa berdoa kepada TUHAN supaya melenyapkan katak-katak yang didatangkan-Nya atas raja.

And Moses and Aaron went forth from Pharao, and Moses cried to the Lord concerning the restriction of the frogs, as Pharao appointed him.

13 TUHAN mengabulkan permintaan Musa, dan katak-katak yang ada di rumah-rumah, di halaman-halaman dan ladang-ladang mati semua.

And the Lord did as Moses said, and the frogs died out of the houses, and out of the villages, and out of the fields.

14 Orang Mesir mengumpulkan bangkai katak-katak itu sampai bertimbun-timbun, sehingga seluruh negeri berbau busuk.

And they gathered them together in heaps, and the land stank.

15 Ketika raja melihat bahwa katak-katak itu sudah mati, ia berkeras kepala. Dan seperti yang sudah dikatakan TUHAN, raja tidak mau mempedulikan perkataan Musa dan Harun.

And when Pharao saw that there was relief, his heart was hardened, and he did not hearken to them, as the Lord spoke.

16 TUHAN berkata kepada Musa, "Suruhlah Harun memukul tanah dengan tongkatnya, maka di seluruh negeri Mesir debu akan berubah menjadi nyamuk."

And the Lord said to Moses, Say to Aaron, Stretch forth thy rod with thy hand and smite the dust of the earth; and there shall be lice both upon man, and upon quadrupeds, and in all the land of Egypt.

17 Lalu Harun memukul tanah dengan tongkatnya, dan semua debu di Mesir berubah menjadi nyamuk yang mengerumuni manusia dan binatang.

So Aaron stretched out his rod with his hand, and smote the dust of the earth; and the lice were on men and on quadrupeds, and in all the dust of the earth there were lice.

18 Para ahli sihir berusaha memakai ilmu gaib mereka untuk juga mengadakan nyamuk-nyamuk, tetapi mereka tidak berhasil. Di mana-mana ada nyamuk,

And the charmers also did so with their sorceries, to bring forth the louse, and they could not. And the lice were both on the men and on the quadrupeds.

19 sehingga para ahli sihir itu berkata kepada raja, "Ini perbuatan Allah." Tetapi raja itu berkeras kepala, dan seperti yang sudah dikatakan TUHAN, raja itu tidak mau mempedulikan perkataan Musa dan Harun.

So the charmers said to Pharao, This is the finger of God. But the heart of Pharao was hardened, and he hearkened not to them, as the Lord said.

20 TUHAN berkata kepada Musa, "Pergilah besok pagi-pagi sekali menemui raja pada waktu ia turun ke sungai, dan sampaikanlah kepadanya perkataan-Ku ini: 'Izinkanlah umat-Ku pergi beribadat kepada-Ku.

And the Lord said to Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharao: and behold, he will go forth to the water, and thou shalt say to him, These things says the Lord: Send away my people, that they may serve me in the wilderness.

21 Jika engkau menolak, maka Aku akan mendatangkan lalat kepadamu, kepada para pejabat dan rakyat. Rumah-rumah orang Mesir, bahkan seluruh negeri akan penuh dengan lalat.

And if thou wilt not let my people go, behold, I send upon thee, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people, and upon your houses, the dog-fly; and the houses of the Egyptians shall be filled with the dog-fly, even throughout the land upon which they are.

22 Tetapi Aku akan membuat kekecualian untuk daerah Gosyen, tempat umat-Ku tinggal. Di sana tak akan ada lalat, supaya kamu tahu bahwa Aku, TUHAN, yang melakukan itu.

and I will distinguish marvellously in that day the land of Gesem, on which my people dwell, in which the dog-fly shall not be: that thou mayest know that I am the Lord the God of all the earth.

23 Aku akan membuat perbedaan antara umat-Ku dengan rakyatmu. Keajaiban itu akan terjadi besok.'"

And I will put a difference between my people and thy people, and on the morrow shall this be on the land. And the Lord did thus.

24 TUHAN mendatangkan lalat yang banyak sekali ke istana raja dan ke rumah-rumah para pejabat. Seluruh negeri Mesir sangat menderita karena lalat-lalat itu.

And the dog-fly came in abundance into the houses of Pharao, and into the houses of his servants, and into all the land of Egypt; and the land was destroyed by the dog-fly.

25 Kemudian raja memanggil Musa dan Harun lalu berkata, "Pergilah mempersembahkan kurban kepada Allahmu, tetapi di negeri ini saja."

And Pharao called Moses and Aaron, saying, Go and sacrifice to the Lord your God in the land.

26 "Sebaiknya tidak," jawab Musa, "karena orang Mesir akan merasa tersinggung kalau melihat persembahan kami itu, dan pasti kami akan dilempari batu sampai mati.

And Moses said, It cannot be so, for we shall sacrifice to the Lord our God the abominations of the Egyptians; for if we sacrifice the abominations of the Egyptians before them, we shall be stoned.

27 Kami harus pergi ke padang gurun sejauh tiga hari perjalanan untuk mempersembahkan kurban kepada TUHAN Allah kami, seperti yang diperintahkan-Nya kepada kami."

We will go a journey of three days into the wilderness, and we will sacrifice to the Lord our God, as the Lord said to us.

28 Raja berkata, "Baiklah, kuizinkan kamu pergi ke padang gurun untuk mempersembahkan kurban kepada TUHAN, Allahmu, asal kamu tidak pergi jauh. Ingat, doakanlah aku!"

And Pharao said, I [will] let you go, and do ye sacrifice to your God in the wilderness, but do not go very far away: pray then for me to the Lord.

29 Jawab Musa, "Sesudah saya pergi, saya segera berdoa kepada TUHAN supaya besok lalat-lalat itu meninggalkan Tuanku, para pejabat dan rakyat. Tetapi jangan menipu kami lagi, dan jangan menghalangi bangsa Israel pergi untuk mempersembahkan kurban kepada TUHAN."

And Moses said, I then will go forth from thee and pray to God, and the dog-fly shall depart both from thy servants, and from thy people to-morrow. Do not thou, Pharao, deceive again, so as not to send the people away to do sacrifice to the Lord.

30 Musa meninggalkan raja, lalu berdoa kepada TUHAN,

And Moses went out from Pharao, and prayed to God.

31 dan TUHAN mengabulkan doa Musa. Lalat-lalat itu beterbangan meninggalkan raja, para pejabat dan rakyat. Tak ada seekor pun yang masih tinggal.

And the Lord did as Moses said, and removed the dog-fly from Pharao, and from his servants, and from his people, and there was not one left.

32 Tetapi kali ini pun raja berkeras kepala dan tidak mengizinkan bangsa itu pergi.

And Pharao hardened his heart, even on this occasion, and he would not send the people away.
