出埃及記 10
1 上主對梅瑟說：「你去見法朗，因為我已使他和他臣僕心硬，要在他們中顯我的這些奇蹟，
And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Go in unto Pharaoh, for I have declared hard his heart, and the heart of his servants, so that I set these My signs in their midst,
2 好叫你將我怎樣戲弄了埃及人，在他們中行了什麼奇蹟，都講給你的子孫聽，使你們知道我是上主。」
and so that thou recountest in the ears of thy son, and of thy son's son, that which I have done in Egypt, and My signs which I have set among them, and ye have known that I [am] Jehovah.'
3 於是梅瑟和亞郎去見法朗說：「上主，希伯來人的天主這樣說：你不肯在我前低頭要到幾時呢﹖放走我的百姓去崇拜我罷!
And Moses cometh in — Aaron also — unto Pharaoh, and they say unto him, 'Thus said Jehovah, God of the Hebrews, Until when hast thou refused to be humbled at My presence? send My people away, and they serve Me,
4 如果你再拒絕放走我的百姓，看，明天我要使蝗蟲進入你的境內。
for if thou art refusing to send My people away, lo, I am bringing in to-morrow the locust into thy border,
5 蝗蟲要遮蓋地面，甚至看不見地；蝗蟲要吃盡免於冰雹而給你們留下的一切，也要吃盡田野間給你們生長的一切樹木。
and it hath covered the eye of the land, and none is able to see the land, and it hath eaten the remnant of that which is escaped, which is left to you from the hail, and it hath eaten every tree which is springing for you out of the field;
6 你的宮殿，你的臣僕和所有埃及人的房屋都要充滿蝗蟲：這是你的祖宗和你祖宗的祖宗入世以來，直到今天所沒有見過的災禍。」梅瑟遂轉身離開法朗走了。
and they have filled thy houses, and the houses of all thy servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians, which neither thy fathers nor thy father's fathers have seen, since the day of their being on the ground unto this day,' — and he turneth and goeth out from Pharaoh.
7 法朗的臣僕們向法朗說：「這人陷害我們要到幾時﹖釋放這些人去崇拜上主他們的天主罷! 埃及已經滅亡，你還不知道嗎﹖」
And the servants of Pharaoh say unto him, 'Until when doth this [one] become a snare to us? send the men away, and they serve Jehovah their God; knowest thou not yet that Egypt hath perished?'
8 梅瑟和亞郎被召到法朗那裏，法朗對他們說：「你們去崇拜上主你們的天主罷! 但那要去的是些什麼人﹖」
And Moses is brought back — Aaron also — unto Pharaoh, and he saith unto them, 'Go, serve Jehovah your God; — who and who [are] those going?'
9 梅瑟回答說：「我們要帶領少年老年同去，要帶領兒女，牛羊同去，因為我們要過上主的節日。」
And Moses saith, 'With our young ones, and with our aged ones, we go, with our sons, and with our daughters, with our flock, and our herd, we go, for we have a festival to Jehovah.'
10 法朗向他們說：「如果我放走你們和你們的孩子，就讓上主同你們在一起罷! 顯然你們不懷好意!
And he saith unto them, 'Be it so, Jehovah [be] with you when I send you and your infants away; see — for evil [is] before your faces;
11 絕對不成! 只是你們的男子可以去崇拜上主，這原是你們所要求的。」隨後把他們從法朗前趕走。
not so! go now, ye who [are] men, and serve Jehovah, for that ye are seeking;' and [one] casteth them out from the presence of Pharaoh.
12 上主對梅瑟說：「你向埃及地伸開你的手，使蝗蟲來到埃及地，吃盡冰雹從地上所剩餘的一切植物。」
And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Stretch out thy hand against the land of Egypt for the locust, and it goeth up against the land of Egypt, and doth eat every herb of the land — all that the hail hath left.'
13 梅瑟向埃及地伸開他的棍杖，上主就使東風在地上颳了一整天一整夜，到了早晨，東風吹來了蝗蟲。
And Moses stretcheth out his rod against the land of Egypt, and Jehovah hath led an east wind over the land all that day, and all the night; the morning hath been, and the east wind hath lifted up the locust.
14 蝗蟲到了埃及國，落在埃及全境，那樣多法，確是空前絕後。
And the locust goeth up against all the land of Egypt, and resteth in all the border of Egypt — very grievous: before it there hath not been such a locust as it, and after it there is none such;
15 蝗蟲遮蓋了地面，大地變黑。蝗蟲吃盡了冰雹所剩下的一切植物和一切果實，這樣埃及全國無論是樹上或是田野間的植物上，沒有留下半點青葉。
and it covereth the eye of all the land, and the land is darkened; and it eateth every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail hath left, and there hath not been left any green thing in the trees, or in the herb of the field, in all the land of Egypt.'
16 法朗急速將梅瑟和亞郎召來，說：「我得罪了上主你們的天主，也得罪了你們。
And Pharaoh hasteth to call for Moses and for Aaron, and saith, 'I have sinned against Jehovah your God, and against you,
17 現今請你們寬赦我的罪罷! 只這一次! 求上主你們的天主，快叫這致命的災禍離開我。」
and now, bear with, I pray you, my sin, only this time, and make ye supplication to Jehovah your God, that He turn aside from off me only this death.'
18 梅瑟從法朗那裏出來，祈求了上主。
And he goeth out from Pharaoh, and maketh supplication unto Jehovah,
19 上主就換了強烈的西風，將蝗蟲捲去，投入紅海，在埃及四境沒有留下一個蝗蟲。
and Jehovah turneth a very strong sea wind, and it lifteth up the locust, and bloweth it into the Red Sea — there hath not been left one locust in all the border of Egypt;
20 上主又使法朗心硬，他仍不肯放走以色列子民。第九災、黑暗
and Jehovah strengtheneth the heart of Pharaoh, and he hath not sent the sons of Israel away.
21 上主對梅瑟說：「將你的手向天伸開，使黑暗降在埃及國。這黑暗似乎可以觸摸。」
And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Stretch out thy hand towards the heavens, and there is darkness over the land of Egypt, and the darkness is felt.'
22 梅瑟向天伸開手，濃密的黑暗就降在埃及國，有三天之久。
And Moses stretcheth out his hand towards the heavens, and there is darkness — thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days;
23 三天之內，人彼此不能看見，也不能離開自己的地方；但是以色列子民那邊，卻有光明照耀他們所住的地方。
they have not seen one another, and none hath risen from his place three days; and to all the sons of Israel there hath been light in their dwellings.'
24 法郎召梅瑟笸亞郎來說：「你們去崇拜上主罷! 你們的孩子可與你們同去，只把牛羊留下! 」
And Pharaoh calleth unto Moses and saith, 'Go ye, serve Jehovah, only your flock and your herd are stayed, your infants also go with you;'
25 梅瑟回答說：「你本人應該給我們犧牲和全燔祭的祭品，叫我們獻於上主我們的天主。
and Moses saith, 'Thou also dost give in our hand sacrifices and burnt-offerings, and we have prepared for Jehovah our God;
26 我們的牲畜也都要跟我們同去，連一個蹄子也不留下，因為我們要用這些來崇拜上主我們的天主；並且未到那裏之前，我們還不知道要用什麼崇拜上主。」
and also our cattle doth go with us, there is not left a hoof, for from it we do take to serve Jehovah our God; and we — we know not how we do serve Jehovah till our going thither.'
27 上主又使法朗心硬，他仍不肯放走他們。
And Jehovah strengtheneth the heart of Pharaoh, and he hath not been willing to send them away;
28 法朗對梅瑟說：「離開我去罷! 你要小心，不要再見我面，因為你見我面的那一天，你必要死! 」
and Pharaoh saith to him, 'Go from me, take heed to thyself, add not to see my face, for in the day thou seest my face thou diest;'
29 梅瑟回答說：「就照你的話好了! 我再不見你的面。」
and Moses saith, 'Rightly hast thou spoken, I add not any more to see thy face.'
