2 Mosebog 9
1 Og Herren sagde til Mose: Gak til Farao, og du skal sige til ham: Saa siger Herren, Hebræernes Gud: Lad mit Folk fare, at de kunne tjene mig.
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go in to Pharaoh, and tell him, ‘This is what the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, says: “Let my people go, that they may serve me.
2 Thi dersom du vægrer dig ved at lade dem fare, og du fremdeles holder paa dem,
For if you refuse to let them go, and hold them still,
3 se, da skal Herrens Haand komme over dit Kvæg, som er paa Marken, over Heste, over Asener, over Kameler, over Øksne og over smaat Kvæg, en saare svar Pest.
behold, the LORD’s hand is on your livestock which are in the field, on the horses, on the donkeys, on the camels, on the herds, and on the flocks with a very grievous pestilence.
4 Og Herren skal gøre Skilsmisse imellem Israels Kvæg og imellem Ægypternes Kvæg, og der skal intet dø af alt det, Israels Børn have.
The LORD will make a distinction between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt; and nothing shall die of all that belongs to the children of Israel.”’”
5 Og Herren satte en bestemt Tid og sagde: I Morgen skal Herren gøre denne Gerning i Landet.
The LORD appointed a set time, saying, “Tomorrow the LORD shall do this thing in the land.”
6 Og Herren gjorde denne Gerning den næste Dag, og alt Ægypternes Kvæg døde; men der døde ikke eet Stykke af Israels Børns Kvæg.
The LORD did that thing on the next day; and all the livestock of Egypt died, but of the livestock of the children of Israel, not one died.
7 Og Farao sendte Bud, og se, end ikke eet Stykke var død af Israels Kvæg; men Faraos Hjerte forhærdedes, og han lod ikke Folket fare.
Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there was not so much as one of the livestock of the Israelites dead. But the heart of Pharaoh was stubborn, and he didn’t let the people go.
8 Da sagde Herren til Mose og til Aron: Tager eders Næver fulde af Aske fra Ovnen, og Mose skal slaa den ud mod Himmelen for Faraos Øjne.
The LORD said to Moses and to Aaron, “Take handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it towards the sky in the sight of Pharaoh.
9 Og den skal vorde til Støv over alt Ægyptens Land, og det skal vorde til Bylder, som skal bryde ud med Blegner, paa Folket og paa Kvæget i alt Ægyptens Land.
It shall become small dust over all the land of Egypt, and shall be boils and blisters breaking out on man and on animal, throughout all the land of Egypt.”
10 Saa toge de Aske fra Ovnen og stode for Farao, og Mose slog den ud mod Himmelen; og der blev Bylder, som brød ud med Blegner, paa Folket og paa Kvæget.
They took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it up towards the sky; and it became boils and blisters breaking out on man and on animal.
11 Og Koglerne kunde ikke bestaa for Mose, formedelst Bylderne; thi der var Bylder paa Koglerne og paa alle Ægyptere.
The magicians couldn’t stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boils were on the magicians and on all the Egyptians.
12 Men Herren forhærdede Faraos Hjerte, saa at han ikke hørte dem, som Herren havde sagt til Mose.
The LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he didn’t listen to them, as the LORD had spoken to Moses.
13 Da sagde Herren til Mose: Staa aarle op om Morgenen og stil dig for Farao og sig til ham: Saa siger Herren, Hebræernes Gud: Lad mit Folk fare, at de kunne tjene mig.
The LORD said to Moses, “Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and tell him, ‘This is what the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, says: “Let my people go, that they may serve me.
14 Thi denne Gang vil jeg sende alle mine Plager, saa det gaar dig til Hjerte, baade paa dine Tjenere og paa dit Folk, at du skal fornemme, at der er ingen som jeg paa al Jorden.
For this time I will send all my plagues against your heart, against your officials, and against your people; that you may know that there is no one like me in all the earth.
15 Thi havde jeg allerede udrakt min Haand og slaget dig og dit Folk med Pest, da havde du været udslettet af Jorden;
For now I would have stretched out my hand, and struck you and your people with pestilence, and you would have been cut off from the earth;
16 men sandelig derfor har jeg ladet dig blive staaende, for at lade dig se min Magt, og for at mit Navn skal kundgøres i alle Lande.
but indeed for this cause I have made you stand: to show you my power, and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth,
17 Ophøjer du dig endnu over mit Folk, saa at du ikke vil lade dem fare?
because you still exalt yourself against my people, that you won’t let them go.
18 Se, jeg vil i Morgen paa denne Tid lade regne en saare svar Hagel, hvis Lige var aldrig før i Ægypten fra den Dag, det blev grundfæstet og hidindtil.
Behold, tomorrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as has not been in Egypt since the day it was founded even until now.
19 Saa send nu hen, saml dit Kvæg og alt det, du har paa Marken; thi alle Mennesker og alt Kvæg, som findes paa Marken og ikke ere samlede i Hus, og som Hagelen slaar ned paa, skulle dø.
Now therefore command that all of your livestock and all that you have in the field be brought into shelter. The hail will come down on every man and animal that is found in the field, and isn’t brought home, and they will die.”’”
20 Hvo som da frygtede Herrens Ord blandt Faraos Tjenere, han lod sine Tjenere og sit Kvæg fly til Husene;
Those who feared the LORD’s word amongst the servants of Pharaoh made their servants and their livestock flee into the houses.
21 men hvo som ikke lagde Herrens Ord paa sit Hjerte, lod sine Tjenere og sit Kvæg blive paa Marken.
Whoever didn’t respect the LORD’s word left his servants and his livestock in the field.
22 Da sagde Herren til Mose: Ræk din Haand op mod Himmelen, og der skal vorde Hagel over hele Ægyptens Land, over Mennesker og over Kvæg og over alle Urter paa Marken i Ægyptens Land.
The LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand towards the sky, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, on man, and on animal, and on every herb of the field, throughout the land of Egypt.”
23 Og Mose rakte sin Stav op mod Himmelen, og Herren lod tordne og hagle, og der for Ild ned paa Jorden; og Herren lod regne Hagel over Ægyptens Land.
Moses stretched out his rod towards the heavens, and the LORD sent thunder and hail; and lightning flashed down to the earth. The LORD rained hail on the land of Egypt.
24 Og der blev Hagel og Ild, som slyngede sig midt i Hagelen, saare svar, saadan som ikke havde været i hele Ægyptens Land, fra den Tid det havde været et Folks Land.
So there was very severe hail, and lightning mixed with the hail, such as had not been in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.
25 Og Hagelen nedslog i hele Ægyptens Land det, som var paa Marken, baade Mennesker og Kvæg; og alle Urter paa Marken slog Hagelen og knækkede alle Træer paa Marken.
The hail struck throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and animal; and the hail struck every herb of the field, and broke every tree of the field.
26 Alene i Gosen Land, hvor Israels Børn vare, faldt der ikke Hagel.
Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, there was no hail.
27 Da sendte Farao hen og lod kalde ad Mose og Aron og sagde til dem: Jeg har syndet denne Gang; Herren er den retfærdige, men jeg og mit Folk ere de ugudelige.
Pharaoh sent and called for Moses and Aaron, and said to them, “I have sinned this time. The LORD is righteous, and I and my people are wicked.
28 Beder til Herren, at det maa være nok med den Guds Torden og Hagel, saa vil jeg lade eder fare, at I ikke skulle bie længere.
Pray to the LORD; for there has been enough of mighty thunderings and hail. I will let you go, and you shall stay no longer.”
29 Og Mose sagde til ham: Naar jeg kommer ud af Staden, da vil jeg udbrede mine Hænder til Herren, saa skal Tordenen høre op, og Hagelen skal ikke falde mere, at du skal fornemme, at Jorden hører Herren til.
Moses said to him, “As soon as I have gone out of the city, I will spread out my hands to the LORD. The thunders shall cease, and there will not be any more hail; that you may know that the earth is the LORD’s.
30 Dog om dig og dine Tjenere ved jeg, at I endnu ikke frygte for den Herre Guds Ansigt.
But as for you and your servants, I know that you don’t yet fear the LORD God.”
31 Da blev baade Hør og Byg nedslaget; thi Bygget var skudt i Aks og Hørren i Knevler.
The flax and the barley were struck, for the barley had ripened and the flax was blooming.
32 Men Hveden og Spelten bleve ikke nedslagne; thi de vare endnu ikke skredne.
But the wheat and the spelt were not struck, for they had not grown up.
33 Og Mose gik fra Farao ud af Staden og udbredte sine Hænder til Herren; saa lod det af at tordne og hagle, og Regnen blev ikke mere udøst paa Jorden.
Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread out his hands to the LORD; and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured on the earth.
34 Der Farao saa, at det holdt op at regne og hagle og tordne, da syndede han endda; og han forhærdede sit Hjerte, han og hans Tjenere.
When Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders had ceased, he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he and his servants.
35 Saa blev Faraos Hjerte forhærdet, og han lod ikke Israels Børn fare, som Herren havde sagt ved Mose.
The heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he didn’t let the children of Israel go, just as the LORD had spoken through Moses.
