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 YHWH spake unto Moses, Go unto Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith YHWH, Let my people go, that they may serve me.

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

And if thou refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite 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 bring forth frogs abundantly, which shall go up and come into thine house, and into thy bedchamber, and upon thy bed, and into the house of thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thine ovens, and into thy kneadingtroughs:

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

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

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 YHWH spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch forth thine hand with thy rod over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and cause frogs to come up upon the land of Egypt.

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

And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came 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 magicians did so with their enchantments, and brought up frogs upon 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."

Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, Intreat YHWH, that he may take away the frogs from me, and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may do sacrifice unto YHWH.

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 unto Pharaoh, Glory over me: when shall I intreat for thee, and for thy servants, and for thy people, to destroy the frogs from thee and thy houses, that they may remain in the river only?

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, To morrow. And he said, Be it according to thy word: that thou mayest know that there is none like unto YHWH our Elohim.

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 depart from thee, and from thy houses, and from thy servants, and from thy people; they shall remain in the river only.

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 out from Pharaoh: and Moses cried unto YHWH because of the frogs which he had brought against Pharaoh.

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

And YHWH did according to the word of Moses; and the frogs died out of the houses, 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 upon 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.

But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite, he hardened his heart, and hearkened not unto them; as YHWH had said.

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

And YHWH said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy rod, and smite the dust of the land, that it may become lice throughout 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.

And they did so; for Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and smote the dust of the earth, and it became lice in man, and in beast; all the dust of the land became lice throughout all the land of Egypt.

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 magicians did so with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not: so there were lice upon man, and upon beast.

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.

Then the magicians said unto Pharaoh, This is the finger of Elohim: and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as YHWH had 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 YHWH said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh; lo, he cometh forth to the water; and say unto him, Thus saith YHWH, Let my people go, that they may serve me.

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.

Else, if thou wilt not let my people go, behold, I will send swarms of flies upon thee, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thy houses: and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of flies, and also the ground whereon 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 sever in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there; to the end thou mayest know that I am YHWH in the midst of the earth.

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

And I will put a division between my people and thy people: to morrow shall this sign be.

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 YHWH did so; and there came a grievous swarm of flies into the house of Pharaoh, and into his servants' houses, and into all the land of Egypt: the land was corrupted by reason of the swarm of flies.

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

And Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, Go ye, sacrifice to your Elohim 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 is not meet so to do; for we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to YHWH our Elohim: lo, shall we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, and will they not stone us?

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 three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to YHWH our Elohim, as he shall command 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 Pharaoh said, I will let you go, that ye may sacrifice to YHWH your Elohim in the wilderness; only ye shall not go very far away: intreat for me.

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, Behold, I go out from thee, and I will intreat YHWH that the swarms of flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people, to morrow: but let not Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people to to sacrifice to YHWH.

30 Musa meninggalkan raja, lalu berdoa kepada TUHAN,

And Moses went out from Pharaoh, and intreated YHWH.

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

And YHWH did according to the word of Moses; and he removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people; there remained not one.

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

And Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also, neither would he let the people go.
