< 出埃及记 10 >
1 耶和华对摩西说:“你进去见法老。我使他和他臣仆的心刚硬,为要在他们中间显我这些神迹,
And YHWH says to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh, for I have declared his heart hard, and the heart of his servants, so that I set these signs of Mine in their midst,
2 并要叫你将我向埃及人所做的事,和在他们中间所行的神迹,传于你儿子和你孙子的耳中,好叫你们知道我是耶和华。”
and so that you recount in the ears of your son, and of your son’s son, that which I have done in Egypt, and My signs which I have set among them, and you have known that I [am] YHWH.”
3 摩西、亚伦就进去见法老,对他说:“耶和华—希伯来人的 神这样说:‘你在我面前不肯自卑要到几时呢?容我的百姓去,好事奉我。
And Moses comes in—Aaron also—to Pharaoh, and they say to him, “Thus said YHWH, God of the Hebrews: Until when have you refused to be humbled at My presence? Send My people away, and they serve Me,
4 你若不肯容我的百姓去,明天我要使蝗虫进入你的境内,
for if you are refusing to send My people away, behold, tomorrow I am bringing in the locust into your border,
5 遮满地面,甚至看不见地,并且吃那冰雹所剩的和田间所长的一切树木。
and it has covered the eye of the land, and none is able to see the land, and it has eaten the remnant of that which is escaped, which is left to you from the hail, and it has eaten every tree which is springing out of the field for you;
6 你的宫殿和你众臣仆的房屋,并一切埃及人的房屋,都要被蝗虫占满了;自从你祖宗和你祖宗的祖宗在世以来,直到今日,没有见过这样的灾。’”摩西就转身离开法老出去。
and they have filled your houses, and the houses of all your servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians, which neither your fathers nor your father’s fathers have seen, since the day of their being on the ground to this day.” And he turns and goes out from Pharaoh.
7 法老的臣仆对法老说:“这人为我们的网罗要到几时呢?容这些人去事奉耶和华—他们的 神吧!埃及已经败坏了,你还不知道吗?”
And the servants of Pharaoh say to him, “Until when does this [one] become a snare to us? Send the men away, and they serve their God YHWH; do you not yet know that Egypt has perished?”
8 于是摩西、亚伦被召回来见法老;法老对他们说:“你们去事奉耶和华—你们的 神;但那要去的是谁呢?”
And Moses is brought back—Aaron also—to Pharaoh, and he says to them, “Go, serve your God YHWH, but who—who [are] those going?”
9 摩西说:“我们要和我们老的少的、儿子女儿同去,且把羊群牛群一同带去,因为我们务要向耶和华守节。”
And Moses says, “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 YHWH.”
10 法老对他们说:“我容你们和你们妇人孩子去的时候,耶和华与你们同在吧!你们要谨慎;因为有祸在你们眼前,
And he says to them, “Be it so, YHWH [is] with you when I send you and your infants away; see—for evil [is] before your faces.
11 不可都去!你们这壮年人去事奉耶和华吧,因为这是你们所求的。”于是把他们从法老面前撵出去。
Not so! Go now, you who [are] men, and serve YHWH, for that you are seeking”; and [one] casts them out from the presence of Pharaoh.
12 耶和华对摩西说:“你向埃及地伸杖,使蝗虫到埃及地上来,吃地上一切的菜蔬,就是冰雹所剩的。”
And YHWH says to Moses, “Stretch out your hand against the land of Egypt for the locust, and it goes up against the land of Egypt, and eats every herb of the land—all that the hail has left.”
13 摩西就向埃及地伸杖,那一昼一夜,耶和华使东风刮在埃及地上;到了早晨,东风把蝗虫刮了来。
And Moses stretches out his rod against the land of Egypt, and YHWH has led an east wind over the land all that day, and all the night; the morning has been, and the east wind has lifted up the locust.
14 蝗虫上来,落在埃及的四境,甚是厉害;以前没有这样的,以后也必没有。
And the locust goes up against all the land of Egypt, and rests in all the border of Egypt—very grievous: before it there has not been such a locust as it, and after it there is none such;
15 因为这蝗虫遮满地面,甚至地都黑暗了,又吃地上一切的菜蔬和冰雹所剩树上的果子。埃及遍地,无论是树木,是田间的菜蔬,连一点青的也没有留下。
and it covers the eye of all the land, and the land is darkened; and it eats every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail has left, and there has not been left any green thing in the trees, or in the herb of the field, in all the land of Egypt.
16 于是法老急忙召了摩西、亚伦来,说:“我得罪耶和华—你们的 神,又得罪了你们。
And Pharaoh hurries to call for Moses and for Aaron and says, “I have sinned against your God YHWH, and against you,
17 现在求你,只这一次,饶恕我的罪,求耶和华—你们的 神使我脱离这一次的死亡。”
and now, please bear with my sin, only this time, and make supplication to your God YHWH, that He may turn aside from off me only this death.”
And he goes out from Pharaoh, and makes supplication to YHWH,
19 耶和华转了极大的西风,把蝗虫刮起,吹入红海;在埃及的四境连一个也没有留下。
and YHWH turns a very strong sea wind, and it lifts up the locust, and blows it into the Red Sea—there has not been left one locust in all the border of Egypt;
and YHWH strengthens the heart of Pharaoh, and he has not sent the sons of Israel away.
21 耶和华对摩西说:“你向天伸杖,使埃及地黑暗;这黑暗似乎摸得着。”
And YHWH says to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward the heavens, and there is darkness over the land of Egypt, and the darkness is felt.”
And Moses stretches out his hand toward the heavens, and there is darkness—thick darkness in all the land of Egypt [for] three days;
23 三天之久,人不能相见,谁也不敢起来离开本处;惟有以色列人家中都有亮光。
they have not seen one another, and none has risen from his place [for] three days; but there has been light for all the sons of Israel in their dwellings.
24 法老就召摩西来,说:“你们去事奉耶和华;只是你们的羊群牛群要留下;你们的妇人孩子可以和你们同去。”
And Pharaoh calls to Moses and says, “Go, serve YHWH, only your flock and your herd are stayed, your infants also go with you”;
25 摩西说:“你总要把祭物和燔祭牲交给我们,使我们可以祭祀耶和华—我们的 神。
and Moses says, “You also give sacrifices and burnt-offerings in our hand, and we have prepared for our God YHWH;
26 我们的牲畜也要带去,连一蹄也不留下;因为我们要从其中取出来,事奉耶和华—我们的 神。我们未到那里,还不知道用什么事奉耶和华。”
and also our livestock go with us—there is not left a hoof, for we take from it to serve our God YHWH; and we do not know how we serve YHWH until our going there.”
And YHWH strengthens the heart of Pharaoh, and he has not been willing to send them away;
28 法老对摩西说:“你离开我去吧,你要小心,不要再见我的面!因为你见我面的那日你就必死!”
and Pharaoh says to him, “Go from me, take heed to yourself, do not add to see my face, for in the day you see my face you die”;
and Moses says, “You have spoken correctly, I do not add to see your face anymore.”
