2 Mosebog 9
1 Derpå sagde HERREN til Moses: "Gå til Farao og sig til ham: Så siger HERREN, Hebræernes Gud: Lad mit Folk rejse, for at de kan dyrke mig!
And the Lord said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, and speak to him, Thus hath said the Eternal, the God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
2 Men hvis du vægrer dig ved at lade dem rejse og bliver ved med at holde dem fast,
For if thou refusest to let them go, and still holdest on to them,
3 se, da skal HERRENs Hånd komme over dit Kvæg på Marken, over Hestene, Æslerne og Kamelerne, Hornkvæget og Småkvæget med en såre forfærdelig Pest.
Behold, the hand of the Lord will be sent against thy cattle which is in the field, against the horses, against the asses, against the camels, against the oxen, and against the sheep; —a very grievous pestilence.
4 Og HERREN skal sætte Skel mellem Israels Kvæget og Ægypterens Kvæg, så der ikke skal dø noget af, hvad der tilhører Israeliterne."
And the Lord will distinguish between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt; and not one head shall die of all that belongeth to the children of Israel.
5 Og HERREN satte en Tidsfrist, idet han sagde: "I Morgen skal HERREN lade dette ske i Landet."
And the Lord appointed a set time, saying, Tomorrow will the Lord do this thing in the land.
6 Den følgende Dag lod HERREN det så ske, og alt Ægypternes Kvæg døde, men af Israeliternes Kvæg døde ikke et eneste Dyr.
And the Lord did this thing on the morrow, and all the cattle of Egypt died; but of the cattle of the children of Israel there died not one.
7 Farao sendte da Bud, og se, ikke et eneste Dyr af Israeliternes Kvæg var dødt. Men Faraos Hjerte blev forhærdet, og han lod ikke Folket rejse.
And Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there had not died of the cattle of the Israelites even one; but the heart of Pharaoh remained hardened, and he did not let the people go.
8 Derpå sagde HERREN til Moses og Aron: "Tag begge eders Hænder fulde af Sod fra Smelteovnen, og Moses skal kaste det i Vejret i Faraos Påsyn!
And the Lord said unto Moses and unto Aaron, Take unto yourselves your hands full of soot of the furnace, and let Moses throw it heavenward before the eyes of Pharaoh.
9 Så skal det blive til en Støvsky over hele Ægypten og til Betændelse, der bryder ud i Bylder på Mennesker og Kvæg i hele Ægypten!"
And it shall become small dust over all the land of Egypt, and shall become upon man and beast an inflammation, producing boils, throughout all the land of Egypt.
10 Da tog de Sod fra Smelteovnen og trådte frem for Farao, og Moses kastede det i Vejret; og det blev til Betændelse, der brød ud i Bylder på Mennesker og Kvæg.
And they took the soot of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses threw it up heavenward; and it became an inflammation, producing boils, upon man, and upon beast.
11 Og Koglerne kunde ikke holde Stand over for Moses på Grund af Betændelsen, thi Betændelsen angreb Koglerne såvel som alle de andre Ægyptere.
And the magicians could not stand before Moses because of the inflammation; for the inflammation was upon the magicians, and upon all the Egyptians.
12 Men HERREN forhærdede Faraos Hjerte, så han ikke hørte på dem, således som HERREN havde sagt til Moses.
And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he hearkened not unto them; as the Lord had spoken unto Moses.
13 Derpå sagde HERREN til Moses: "Træd i Morgen tidlig frem for Farao og sig til ham: Så siger HERREN, Hebræernes Gud: Lad mit Folk rejse, for at de kan dyrke mig!
And the Lord said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and place thyself before Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus hath said the Eternal, the God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
14 Thi denne Gang vil jeg sende alle mine Plager mod dig selv og mod dine Tjenere og dit Folk, for at du kan kende, at der er ingen som jeg på hele Jorden.
For at this time I send all my plagues against thy heart, and against thy servants, and against thy people; in order that thou mayest know that there is none like me on all the earth.
15 Thi ellers havde jeg nu udrakt min Hånd for at ramme dig og dit Folk med Pest, så du blev udryddet fra Jordens Overflade;
For even now I might have stretched out my hand, and I might have smitten thee and thy people with the pestilence; and thou wouldst have been cut off from the earth;
16 dog derfor har jeg ladet dig blive i Live for at vise dig min Magt, og for at mit Navn kan blive forkyndt på hele Jorden.
But for this cause have I allowed thee to remain, in order to show thee my power; and in order that they may proclaim my name throughout all the earth.
17 Endnu stiller du dig i Vejen for mit Folk og vil ikke lade det rejse.
If thou dost yet wantonly oppress my people, so as not to let them go:
18 Se, jeg lader i Morgen ved denne Tid et frygteligt Haglvejr bryde løs, hvis Lige ikke har været i Ægypten, fra den Dag det blev til og indtil nu.
Behold, then will I let rain, about this time tomorrow, a very grievous hail, the like of which hath not been in Egypt since the day of its foundation even until now.
19 Derfor må du sørge for at bringe dit Kvæg og alt, hvad du har på Marken, i Sikkerhed! Thi alle Mennesker og Dyr, der befinder sig på Marken og ikke er kommet under Tag, skal rammes af Haglen og omkomme."
And now send, and bring under shelter thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field; [for] every man and beast that shall be found in the field, and shall not be brought into the house, upon them shall the hail come down, and they shall die.
20 De blandt Faraos Tjenere, der frygtede HERRENs Ord, bragte nu deres Trælle og Kvæg under Tag;
He that feared the word of the Lord among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses;
21 men de, der ikke lagde sig HERRENs Ord på Hjerte, lod deres Trælle og Kvæg blive ude på Marken.
And he that regarded not the word of the Lord left his servants and his cattle in the field.
22 Da sagde HERREN til Moses: "Ræk din Hånd op mod Himmelen, så skal der falde Hagl i hele Ægypten på Mennesker og Dyr og på alle Markens Urter i Ægypten!"
And the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch forth thy hand toward heaven, and there shall be hail in all the land of Egypt, upon man, and upon beast, and upon every herb of the field, in the land of Egypt.
23 Da rakte Moses sin Stav op mod Himmelen, og HERREN sendte Torden og Hagl; Ild for ned mod Jorden, og HERREN lod Hagl falde over Ægypten;
And Moses stretched forth his staff toward heaven; and the Lord sent thunder and hail, and the fire ran down to the ground; and the Lord rained hail upon the land of Egypt.
24 og der kom et Haglvejr, med Ildsluer flammende mellem Haglen, så voldsomt, at dets Lige aldrig havde været nogetsteds i Ægypten, siden det blev befolket;
And there was hail, and fire was flaming up amidst the hail, very grievous, the like of which had not been in all the land of Egypt, since it had become a nation.
25 og i hele Ægypten slog Haglen alt ned, hvad der var på Marken, både Mennesker og Kvæg, og alle Markens Urter slog Haglen ned, og alle Markens Træer knækkede den;
And the hail smote throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and beast; and every herb of the field did the hail smite, and every tree of the field did it break.
26 kun i Gosen, hvor Israeliterne boede, faldt der ikke Hagl.
Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, there was no hail.
27 Da sendte Farao Bud efter Moses og Aron og sagde til dem: "Denne Gang har jeg syndet; HERREN har Ret, og jeg og mit Folk har Uret;
And Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and he said unto them, I have sinned this time; the Eternal is the righteous, and I and my people are the wicked.
28 gå i Forbøn hos HERREN, at det nu må være nok med Guds Torden og Haglvejret, så vil jeg lade eder rejse, og I skal ikke blive længer!"
Entreat the Lord that there may be no more of the thunders of God, and hail; and I will let you go, and ye shall no longer stay here.
29 Moses svarede ham: "Så snart jeg kommer ud af Byen, skal jeg udbrede mine Hænder mod HERREN; så skal Tordenen høre op, og Haglen skal ikke falde mere, for at du kan kende, at Jorden tilhører HERREN."
And Moses said unto him, As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will spread out my hands unto the Lord: the thunders shall cease, and the hail shall not be any more; in order that thou mayest know how that to the Lord belongeth the earth.
30 Dog, jeg ved, at du og dine Tjenere endnu ikke frygter for Gud HERREN."
But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye are not yet afraid before the Lord God.
31 Hørren og Byggen blev slået ned, thi Byggen stod i Aks, og Hørren i Blomst;
And the flax and the barley were smitten; for the barley was in the ear, and the flax was bolled.
32 derimod blev Hveden og Spelten ikke slået ned, thi de modnes senere.
But the wheat and the millet were not smitten; for they are late-ripening.
33 Da Moses var gået bort fra Farao og var kommet ud af Byen, udbredte han sine Hænder mod HERREN, og da hørte Tordenen og Haglen op, og Regnen strømmede ikke mere ned.
And Moses went away from Pharaoh out of the city, and spread out his hands unto the Lord: and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured out upon the earth.
34 Men da Farao så, at Regnen, Haglen og Tordenen var hørt op, fremturede han i sin Synd, og han og hans Tjenere forhærdede deres Hjerte.
And when Pharaoh saw that the rain, and the hail, and the thunders had ceased, he sinned yet farther, and hardened his heart, he and his servants.
35 Faraos Hjerte blev forhærdet, så at han ikke lod Israeliterne rejse, således som HERREN havde sagt ved Moses.
And the heart of Pharaoh remained hardened, and he did not let the children of Israel go; as the Lord had spoken by the hand of Moses.
