Exodus 10
1 And the Lord said to Moses: “Enter to Pharaoh. For I have hardened his heart, and that of his servants, so that I may accomplish these, my signs, in him,
耶和華對摩西說：「你進去見法老。我使他和他臣僕的心剛硬，為要在他們中間顯我這些神蹟，
2 and so that you may describe to the ears of your sons and your grandsons how often I opposed the Egyptians and wrought my signs among them, and so that you may know that I am the Lord.”
並要叫你將我向埃及人所做的事，和在他們中間所行的神蹟，傳於你兒子和你孫子的耳中，好叫你們知道我是耶和華。」
3 Therefore, Moses and Aaron entered to Pharaoh, and they said to him: “Thus says the Lord God of the Hebrews: How long will you be unwilling to be subject to me? Release my people to sacrifice to me.
摩西、亞倫就進去見法老，對他說：「耶和華－希伯來人的上帝這樣說：『你在我面前不肯自卑要到幾時呢？容我的百姓去，好事奉我。
4 But if you resist, and you are unwilling to release them, behold, tomorrow I will bring locusts into your borders.
你若不肯容我的百姓去，明天我要使蝗蟲進入你的境內，
5 And they shall cover the face of the earth, lest any part of it be seen. Yes, and what remains from the hail shall be eaten. For they will gnaw away all the trees that spring up in the fields.
遮滿地面，甚至看不見地，並且吃那冰雹所剩的和田間所長的一切樹木。
6 And they will fill your houses, and those of your servants and of all the Egyptians: so many as your fathers and ancestors have not seen, from the time that they rose up over the earth, even until this present day.” And he turned himself away, and he departed from Pharaoh.
你的宮殿和你眾臣僕的房屋，並一切埃及人的房屋，都要被蝗蟲佔滿了；自從你祖宗和你祖宗的祖宗在世以來，直到今日，沒有見過這樣的災。』」摩西就轉身離開法老出去。
7 Then the servants of Pharaoh said to him: “How long must we endure this scandal? Release the men, in order to sacrifice to the Lord their God. Do you not see that Egypt is perishing?”
法老的臣僕對法老說：「這人為我們的網羅要到幾時呢？容這些人去事奉耶和華－他們的上帝吧！埃及已經敗壞了，你還不知道嗎？」
8 And they called back Moses and Aaron to Pharaoh, who said to them: “Go, sacrifice to the Lord your God. Who are they who would go?”
於是摩西、亞倫被召回來見法老；法老對他們說：「你們去事奉耶和華－你們的上帝；但那要去的是誰呢？」
9 Moses said: “We will travel with our little ones and our elderly, with our sons and daughters, with our sheep and herds. For it is a solemnity of the Lord our God.”
摩西說：「我們要和我們老的少的、兒子女兒同去，且把羊群牛群一同帶去，因為我們務要向耶和華守節。」
10 And Pharaoh responded: “So let the Lord be with you. But if I were to release you and your little ones, who would doubt that you intend some great wickedness?
法老對他們說：「我容你們和你們婦人孩子去的時候，耶和華與你們同在吧！你們要謹慎；因為有禍在你們眼前，
11 It will not be so. However, go only with the men, and sacrifice to the Lord. For this, too, is what you yourselves requested.” And immediately they were cast out from the sight of Pharaoh.
不可都去！你們這壯年人去事奉耶和華吧，因為這是你們所求的。」於是把他們從法老面前攆出去。
12 Then the Lord said to Moses: “Extend your hand over the land of Egypt, toward the locusts, so that they may rise up over it, and devour every plant which remains from the hail.”
耶和華對摩西說：「你向埃及地伸杖，使蝗蟲到埃及地上來，吃地上一切的菜蔬，就是冰雹所剩的。」
13 And Moses extended his staff over the land of Egypt. And the Lord brought a burning wind all that day and night. And when morning came, the burning wind lifted up the locusts.
摩西就向埃及地伸杖，那一晝一夜，耶和華使東風颳在埃及地上；到了早晨，東風把蝗蟲颳了來。
14 And they ascended over the entire land of Egypt. And they settled into all the parts of the Egyptians: innumerable, such as had not been before that time, nor ever would be thereafter.
蝗蟲上來，落在埃及的四境，甚是厲害；以前沒有這樣的，以後也必沒有。
15 And they covered the entire face of the land, laying waste to all things. And the plants of the land were devoured, along with whatever fruits were on the trees, which the hail had left behind. And nothing at all of the greenery remained on the trees or on the plants of the earth in all of Egypt.
因為這蝗蟲遮滿地面，甚至地都黑暗了，又吃地上一切的菜蔬和冰雹所剩樹上的果子。埃及遍地，無論是樹木，是田間的菜蔬，連一點青的也沒有留下。
16 For this reason, Pharaoh hurriedly called Moses and Aaron, and he said to them: “I have sinned against the Lord your God, and against you.
於是法老急忙召了摩西、亞倫來，說：「我得罪耶和華－你們的上帝，又得罪了你們。
17 But now, release me from my sin even this time, and petition the Lord your God, so that he may take this death away from me.”
現在求你，只這一次，饒恕我的罪，求耶和華－你們的上帝使我脫離這一次的死亡。」
18 And Moses, departing from the sight of Pharaoh, prayed to the Lord.
摩西就離開法老去求耶和華。
19 And he caused a very strong wind to blow from the west, and, seizing the locusts, it cast them into the Red Sea. There remained not so much as one in all the parts of Egypt.
耶和華轉了極大的西風，把蝗蟲颳起，吹入紅海；在埃及的四境連一個也沒有留下。
20 And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh; neither did he release the sons of Israel.
但耶和華使法老的心剛硬，不容以色列人去。
21 Then the Lord said to Moses: “Extend your hand into the sky. And let there be a darkness over the land of Egypt, so dense that they may be able to feel it.”
耶和華對摩西說：「你向天伸杖，使埃及地黑暗；這黑暗似乎摸得着。」
22 And Moses extended his hand into the sky. And there came a horrible darkness in the entire land of Egypt for three days.
摩西向天伸杖，埃及遍地就烏黑了三天。
23 No one saw his brother, nor moved himself out of the place where he was. But wherever the sons of Israel were living, there was light.
三天之久，人不能相見，誰也不敢起來離開本處；惟有以色列人家中都有亮光。
24 And Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron, and he said to them: “Go, sacrifice to the Lord. Only let your sheep and herds remain behind. Your little ones may go with you.”
法老就召摩西來，說：「你們去事奉耶和華；只是你們的羊群牛群要留下；你們的婦人孩子可以和你們同去。」
25 Moses said: “You must also permit us victims and holocausts, which we may offer to the Lord our God.
摩西說：「你總要把祭物和燔祭牲交給我們，使我們可以祭祀耶和華－我們的上帝。
26 All the flocks shall travel with us. Not one hoof of them shall remain behind. For they are necessary for the worship of the Lord our God, especially since we do not know what ought to be immolated, until we arrive at the very place.”
我們的牲畜也要帶去，連一蹄也不留下；因為我們要從其中取出來，事奉耶和華－我們的上帝。我們未到那裏，還不知道用甚麼事奉耶和華。」
27 But the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he was not willing to release them.
但耶和華使法老的心剛硬，不肯容他們去。
28 And Pharaoh said to Moses: “Withdraw from me, and beware that you no longer see my face. On whatever day you will appear in my sight, you shall die.”
法老對摩西說：「你離開我去吧，你要小心，不要再見我的面！因為你見我面的那日你就必死！」
29 Moses responded: “So be it, just as you have said. I will no longer see your face.”
摩西說：「你說得好！我必不再見你的面了。」
