Exodus 10
1 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh: for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I might shew these my signs in the midst of them:
Og Herren sagde til Mose: Gak ind til Farao; thi jeg har forhærdet hans Hjerte og hans Tjeneres Hjerte for at gøre disse mine Tegn iblandt dem,
2 and that thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son, and of thy son’s son, what things I have wrought upon Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; that ye may know that I am the LORD.
og for at du skal forkynde det for dine Børns og dine Børnebørns Øren, hvad jeg har udrettet i Ægypten, og mine Tegn, som jeg har sat iblandt dem; og I skulle fornemme, at jeg er Herren.
3 And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, How long wilt thou refuse to humble thyself before me? let my people go, that they may serve me.
Saa gik Mose og Aron ind til Farao og sagde til ham: Saa siger Herren, Hebræernes Gud: Hvor længe vægrer du dig ved at ydmyge dig for mit Ansigt? lad mit Folk fare, at de maa tjene mig.
4 Else, if thou refuse to let my people go, behold, tomorrow will I bring locusts into thy border:
Thi dersom du vægrer dig ved at lade mit Folk fare, se, da vil jeg i Morgen lade Græshopper komme i dit Landemærke.
5 and they shall cover the face of the earth, that one shall not be able to see the earth: and they shall eat the residue of that which is escaped, which remaineth unto you from the hail, and shall eat every tree which groweth for you out of the field:
Og de skulle skjule Synet af Jorden, at man ikke skal kunne se Jorden, og de skulle opæde det øvrige, som er reddet, og hvad der er blevet eder tilovers fra Hagelen, og de skulle æde hvert Træ, som vokser op hos eder af Marken.
6 and thy houses shall be filled, and the houses of all thy servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians; as neither thy fathers nor thy fathers’ fathers have seen, since the day that they were upon the earth unto this day. And he turned, and went out from Pharaoh.
Og dine Huse skulle fyldes og alle dine Tjeneres Huse og alle Ægypternes Huse, hvilket hverken dine Fædre eller dine Forfædre have set, fra den Tid de bleve til paa Jorden indtil denne Dag; saa vendte han sig og gik ud fra Farao.
7 And Pharaoh’s servants said unto him, How long shall this man be a snare unto us? let the men go, that they may serve the LORD their God: knowest thou not yet that Egypt is destroyed?
Da sagde Faraos Tjenere til ham: Hvor længe skal denne være os til en Snare? lad de Mænd fare, at de maa tjene Herren deres Gud; mon du endnu ikke ved, at Ægypten er ødelagt?
8 And Moses and Aaron were brought again unto Pharaoh: and he said unto them, Go, serve the LORD your God; but who are they that shall go?
Og Mose og Aron bleve hentede tilbage til Farao, og han sagde til dem: Gaar, tjener Herren, eders Gud; hvilke ere de, som gaa bort?
9 And Moses said, We will go with our young and with our old, with our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our herds will we go; for we must hold a feast unto the LORD.
Og Mose sagde: Vi ville gaa med vore unge og vore gamle, med vore Sønner og vore Døtre, med vore Faar og med vore Øksne ville vi gaa; thi det er os Herrens Højtid.
10 And he said unto them, So be the LORD with you, as I will let you go, and your little ones: look to it; for evil is before you.
Da sagde han til dem: Saa vist være Herren med eder, som jeg vil lade eder og eders smaa Børn fare, ser der, at I have ondt i Sinde.
11 Not so: go now ye that are men, and serve the LORD; for that is what ye desire. And they were driven out from Pharaoh’s presence.
Ikke saa! I Mænd, farer nu hen og tjener Herren, thi det have I begæret; og man drev dem ud fra Faraos Ansigt.
12 And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up upon the land of Egypt, and eat every herb of the land, even all that the hail hath left.
Da sagde Herren til Mose: Ræk din Haand ud over Ægyptens Land efter Græshopper, og de skulle komme op over Ægyptens Land og æde alle Urter i Landet, ja alt det, som Hagelen lod blive tilovers.
13 And Moses stretched forth his rod over the land of Egypt, and the LORD brought an east wind upon the land all that day, and all the night; and when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts.
Saa rakte Mose sin Stav over Ægyptens Land, og Herren lod komme Østenvejr i Landet den samme hele Dag og hele Nat; det skete om Morgenen, at Østenvejret bragte Græshopperne op.
14 And the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested in all the borders of Egypt; very grievous were they; before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after them shall be such.
Og der kom Græshopper op over hele Ægyptens Land og lode sig ned i hele Ægyptens Landemærke; de vare i svær Mængde; før dem havde der ikke været Græshopper saaledes, og efter dem skulde der ikke blive saaledes;
15 For they covered the face of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened; and they did eat every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left: and there remained not any green thing, either tree or herb of the field, through all the land of Egypt.
thi de skjulte Synet af hele Jorden, og Jorden blev formørket, og de aade alle Urter i Landet og al Frugt paa Træerne, som Hagelen lod blive tilovers; og der blev intet grønt tilovers paa Træer eller paa Urter i Marken i hele Ægyptens Land.
16 Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste; and he said, I have sinned against the LORD your God, and against you.
Da skyndte Farao sig at kalde ad Mose og Aron, og han sagde: Jeg har syndet imod Herren eders Gud og imod eder.
17 Now therefore forgive, I pray thee, my sin only this once, and entreat the LORD your God, that he may take away from me this death only.
Og kære, forlad mig nu min Synd aleneste denne Gang, og beder til Herren eders Gud, at han dog vil borttage denne Død fra mig.
18 And he went out from Pharaoh, and entreated the LORD.
Og han gik ud fra Farao, og han bad til Herren.
19 And the LORD turned an exceeding strong west wind, which took up the locusts, and drove them into the Red Sea; there remained not one locust in all the border of Egypt.
Og Herren vendte Vejret om til en saare stærk Vestenvind, som førte Græshopperne bort og kastede dem i det røde Hav; der blev ikke een Græshoppe tilovers i hele Ægyptens Landemærke.
20 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he did not let the children of Israel go.
Men Herren forhærdede Faraos Hjerte, og han lod ikke Israels Børn fare.
21 And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt.
Og Herren sagde til Mose: Ræk din Haand op mod Himmelen, at der bliver Mørke over Ægyptens Land, at man kan føle paa Mørket.
22 And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days;
Og Mose rakte sin Haand op mod Himmelen; da blev der tykt Mørke i hele Ægyptens Land i tre Dage.
23 they saw not one another, neither rose any from his place for three days: but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.
Ikke een saa den anden, og ingen stod op fra sit Sted i tre Dage; men hos alle Israels Børn var det lyst i deres Boliger.
24 And Pharaoh called unto Moses, and said, Go ye, serve the LORD; only let your flocks and your herds be stayed: let your little ones also go with you.
Da kaldte Farao ad Mose og sagde: Gaar, tjener Herren, kun skulle I lade eders Faar og Øksne blive; ogsaa eders smaa Børn maa fare med eder.
25 And Moses said, Thou must also give into our hand sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice unto the LORD our God.
Og Mose sagde: Du skal og medgive os Slagtoffere og Brændoffere, at vi kunne ofre til Herren, vor Gud.
26 Our cattle also shall go with us; there shall not an hoof be left behind; for thereof must we take to serve the LORD our God; and we know not with what we must serve the LORD, until we come thither.
Og endogsaa vort Fæ skal gaa med os, der skal ikke en Klov blive tilbage; thi vi skulle tage deraf til at tjene Herren, vor Gud; thi vi vide ikke, hvormed vi skulle tjene Herren, førend vi komme derhen.
27 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he would not let them go.
Men Herren forhærdede Faraos Hjerte, og han vilde ikke lade dem fare.
28 And Pharaoh said unto him, Get thee from me, take heed to thyself, see my face no more; for in the day thou seest my face thou shalt die.
Og Farao sagde til ham: Gak fra mig, vogt dig, at du ikke mere ser mit Ansigt; thi paa hvilken Dag du ser mit Ansigt, skal du dø.
29 And Moses said, Thou hast spoken well; I will see thy face again no more.
Og Mose sagde: Du talede ret; jeg vil herefter ikke mere se dit Ansigt.
