Exodus 9
1 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.
耶和华吩咐摩西说：“你进去见法老，对他说：‘耶和华—希伯来人的 神这样说：容我的百姓去，好事奉我。
2 For if you refuse to let them go, and hold them still,
你若不肯容他们去，仍旧强留他们，
3 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.
耶和华的手加在你田间的牲畜上，就是在马、驴、骆驼、牛群、羊群上，必有重重的瘟疫。
4 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.”’”
耶和华要分别以色列的牲畜和埃及的牲畜，凡属以色列人的，一样都不死。’”
5 The LORD appointed a set time, saying, “Tomorrow the LORD shall do this thing in the land.”
耶和华就定了时候，说：“明天耶和华必在此地行这事。”
6 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.
第二天，耶和华就行这事。埃及的牲畜几乎都死了，只是以色列人的牲畜，一个都没有死。
7 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.
法老打发人去看，谁知以色列人的牲畜连一个都没有死。法老的心却是固执，不容百姓去。
8 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.
耶和华吩咐摩西、亚伦说：“你们取几捧炉灰，摩西要在法老面前向天扬起来。
9 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.”
这灰要在埃及全地变作尘土，在人身上和牲畜身上成了起泡的疮。”
10 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.
摩西、亚伦取了炉灰，站在法老面前。摩西向天扬起来，就在人身上和牲畜身上成了起泡的疮。
11 The magicians couldn’t stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boils were on the magicians and on all the Egyptians.
行法术的在摩西面前站立不住，因为在他们身上和一切埃及人身上都有这疮。
12 The LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he didn’t listen to them, as the LORD had spoken to Moses.
耶和华使法老的心刚硬，不听他们，正如耶和华对摩西所说的。
13 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.
耶和华对摩西说：“你清早起来，站在法老面前，对他说：‘耶和华—希伯来人的 神这样说：容我的百姓去，好事奉我。
14 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.
因为这一次我要叫一切的灾殃临到你和你臣仆并你百姓的身上，叫你知道在普天下没有像我的。
15 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;
我若伸手用瘟疫攻击你和你的百姓，你早就从地上除灭了。
16 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,
其实，我叫你存立，是特要向你显我的大能，并要使我的名传遍天下。
17 because you still exalt yourself against my people, that you won’t let them go.
你还向我的百姓自高，不容他们去吗？
18 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.
到明天约在这时候，我必叫重大的冰雹降下，自从埃及开国以来，没有这样的冰雹。
19 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.”’”
现在你要打发人把你的牲畜和你田间一切所有的催进来；凡在田间不收回家的，无论是人是牲畜，冰雹必降在他们身上，他们就必死。’”
20 Those who feared the LORD’s word amongst the servants of Pharaoh made their servants and their livestock flee into the houses.
法老的臣仆中，惧怕耶和华这话的，便叫他的奴仆和牲畜跑进家来。
21 Whoever didn’t respect the LORD’s word left his servants and his livestock in the field.
但那不把耶和华这话放在心上的，就将他的奴仆和牲畜留在田里。
22 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.”
耶和华对摩西说：“你向天伸杖，使埃及遍地的人身上和牲畜身上，并田间各样菜蔬上，都有冰雹。”
23 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.
摩西向天伸杖，耶和华就打雷下雹，有火闪到地上；耶和华下雹在埃及地上。
24 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.
那时，雹与火搀杂，甚是厉害，自从埃及成国以来，遍地没有这样的。
25 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.
在埃及遍地，雹击打了田间所有的人和牲畜，并一切的菜蔬，又打坏田间一切的树木。
26 Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, there was no hail.
惟独以色列人所住的歌珊地没有冰雹。
27 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.
法老打发人召摩西、亚伦来，对他们说：“这一次我犯了罪了。耶和华是公义的；我和我的百姓是邪恶的。
28 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.”
这雷轰和冰雹已经够了。请你们求耶和华，我就容你们去，不再留住你们。”
29 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.
摩西对他说：“我一出城，就要向耶和华举手祷告；雷必止住，也不再有冰雹，叫你知道全地都是属耶和华的。
30 But as for you and your servants, I know that you don’t yet fear the LORD God.”
至于你和你的臣仆，我知道你们还是不惧怕耶和华 神。”（
31 The flax and the barley were struck, for the barley had ripened and the flax was blooming.
那时，麻和大麦被雹击打；因为大麦已经吐穗，麻也开了花。
32 But the wheat and the spelt were not struck, for they had not grown up.
只是小麦和粗麦没有被击打，因为还没有长成。）
33 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.
摩西离了法老出城，向耶和华举手祷告；雷和雹就止住，雨也不再浇在地上了。
34 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.
法老见雨和雹与雷止住，就越发犯罪；他和他的臣仆都硬着心。
35 The heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he didn’t let the children of Israel go, just as the LORD had spoken through Moses.
法老的心刚硬，不容以色列人去，正如耶和华借着摩西所说的。
