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!
Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, —then shalt thou say unto him—Thus, saith Yahweh, 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,
But, if, refusing, thou art to let them go, —and still art holding them fast,
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.
lo! the hand of Yahweh, is coming on thy cattle which are in the field, on the horses, on the asses on the camels, on the herds and on the flocks, —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 Yahweh will make a difference between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of the Egyptians, —so that there shall not die from among all that pertaineth to the sons of Israel, a thing!
5 Og HERREN satte en Tidsfrist, idet han sagde: "I Morgen skal HERREN lade dette ske i Landet."
And Yahweh appointed a set time—saying, To-morrow, will Yahweh 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.
So Yahweh did this thing, on the morrow, and all the cattle of the Egyptians died, —but of the cattle of the sons of Israel, 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 lo! there had not died of the cattle of Israel, so much as one. But Pharaoh’s heart became dull, 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!
Then said Yahweh unto Moses and unto Aaron, Take you your hands full of the ashes of an oven, —and Moses shall scatter them towards the heavens, 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!"
then shall they become fine dust, over all the land of Egypt, —and shall become on man and on beast, a burning sore, breaking out in pustules in 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.
So they took the ashes of an oven and stood before Pharaoh, and Moses scattered them towards the heavens, —and it came to pass that there was a burning sore in pustules breaking out, among men, and among beasts;
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 sacred scribes could not stand before Moses, because of the burning sore, —for the burning sore had come on the sacred scribes, and on all the Egyptians.
12 Men HERREN forhærdede Faraos Hjerte, så han ikke hørte på dem, således som HERREN havde sagt til Moses.
But Yahweh let the heart of Pharaoh wax bold, and he hearkened not unto them, —as spake Yahweh 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!
Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Rise thou early in the morning, and station thyself before Pharaoh, —then shalt thou say unto him—Thus, saith Yahweh, 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 this time, am I, sending all my plagues unto thy heart, and amongst thy servants and amongst thy people, —to the intent thou mayest get to know, that there is none like me in 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 now, might I have put forth my hand, and smitten thee and thy people with pestilence, —and thou shouldst have secretly disappeared 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, in very deed for this purpose, have I let thee remain, for the purpose of showing thee my might, —and that my name may be celebrated in all the earth.
17 Endnu stiller du dig i Vejen for mit Folk og vil ikke lade det rejse.
Even yet, art thou exalting thyself over my people—in not letting 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 me! raining down, about this time to-morrow, an exceeding heavy hail, —such as hath not been in Egypt, from the day it was founded, even unto the present time.
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."
Now, therefore, send—bring into safety thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field, —as touching all men and beasts which shall be found in the field and shall not be withdrawn into shelter, the hail shall come down upon them 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 Yahweh, among the servants of Pharaoh, made his servants and his cattle flee, under shelter:
21 men de, der ikke lagde sig HERRENs Ord på Hjerte, lod deres Trælle og Kvæg blive ude på Marken.
but, whoso applied not his heart unto the word of Yahweh, 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!"
Then said Yahweh unto Moses—Stretch forth thy hand over the heavens, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, —on man and on beast, and on 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;
So Moses stretched forth his staff over the heavens, and, Yahweh, gave forth thunderings and hail, and there came fire towards the earth, —and Yahweh rained down hail, on 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;
So there came to be hail, and fire catching hold of itself, in the midst of the hail, —exceeding heavy, such as had not been in all the land of Egypt, from the very time it became 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 in 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 shiver.
26 kun i Gosen, hvor Israeliterne boede, faldt der ikke Hagl.
Only in the land of Goshen, where were the sons of Israel, was there 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;
Then sent Pharaoh, and called for Moses and for Aaron, and said unto them—I have sinned this time, —Yahweh, is the righteous one, and, I and my people, are the wrong-doers.
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!"
Make ye request unto Yahweh, and it shall be enough without there being any more thunderings of God, and hail, —and I must a let you go, and not again shall ye delay.
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, will I spread out my hands unto Yahweh, —the thunderings, shall cease, and, the hail, shall come no more, —that thou mayest know, that to Yahweh, belongeth the earth.
30 Dog, jeg ved, at du og dine Tjenere endnu ikke frygter for Gud HERREN."
But as touching thee and thy servants, I know that not yet will ye stand in awe of Yahweh Elohim.
31 Hørren og Byggen blev slået ned, thi Byggen stod i Aks, og Hørren i Blomst;
Now, the flax and the barley, were smitten, —for the barley, was in the ear, and, the flax, was in flower;
32 derimod blev Hveden og Spelten ikke slået ned, thi de modnes senere.
but the wheat and the spelt, were not smitten, —for they were, not ripe.
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.
So Moses went away from Pharaoh out of the city, and spread out his hands unto Yahweh, —then did the thunderings and the hail cease, and, rain, was not poured out on 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 thunderings had ceased, he again sinned, —and made his heart dull, 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 waxed bold, and he did not let the sons of Israel go, —as spake Yahweh by the hand of Moses.
