Chapter 13: The Chase Begins
Bab 13: Pengejaran Dimulai
One morning, the lookout spotted a white shape in the distance. "There she blows!" he shouted, and the ship came alive with excitement. It was Moby Dick, the white whale we had been hunting for months.
Suatu pagi, pengintai melihat bentuk putih di kejauhan. "Itu dia menyembur!" teriaknya, dan kapal menjadi hidup dengan kegembiraan. Itu adalah Moby Dick, paus putih yang telah kami buru selama berbulan-bulan.
Captain Ahab ordered the small boats into the water. This was the moment he had been waiting for, the moment of his revenge. His face was determined, his eyes burning with intensity.
Kapten Ahab memerintahkan perahu-perahu kecil ke air. Ini adalah saat yang dia tunggu-tunggu, saat balas dendamnya. Wajahnya penuh tekad, matanya menyala dengan intensitas.
I climbed into a boat with Queequeg, my heart racing. We rowed toward the white whale, knowing that this hunt would be more dangerous than any we had faced before. The ocean seemed to hold its breath as we approached.
Aku naik ke perahu bersama Queequeg, jantungku berpacu. Kami mendayung menuju paus putih, mengetahui bahwa perburuan ini akan lebih berbahaya daripada apa pun yang pernah kami hadapi sebelumnya. Lautan sepertinya menahan napas saat kami mendekat.
