出埃及记 9
1 耶和华吩咐摩西说：“你进去见法老，对他说：‘耶和华—希伯来人的 神这样说：容我的百姓去，好事奉我。
And the Lord said to Moses: Go in to Pharao, and speak to him: Thus saith the Lord God of the Hebrews: Let my people go to sacrifice to me.
2 你若不肯容他们去，仍旧强留他们，
But if thou refuse, and withhold them still:
3 耶和华的手加在你田间的牲畜上，就是在马、驴、骆驼、牛群、羊群上，必有重重的瘟疫。
Behold my hand shall be upon thy fields: and a very grievous murrain upon thy horses, and asses, and camels, and oxen, and sheep.
4 耶和华要分别以色列的牲畜和埃及的牲畜，凡属以色列人的，一样都不死。’”
And the Lord will make a wonderful difference between the possessions of Israel and the possessions of the Egyptians, that nothing at all shall die of those things that belong to the children of Israel.
5 耶和华就定了时候，说：“明天耶和华必在此地行这事。”
And the Lord appointed a time, saying: Tomorrow will the Lord do this thing in the land.
6 第二天，耶和华就行这事。埃及的牲畜几乎都死了，只是以色列人的牲畜，一个都没有死。
The Lord therefore did this thing the next day: and all the beasts of the Egyptians died, but of the beasts of the children of Israel there died not one.
7 法老打发人去看，谁知以色列人的牲畜连一个都没有死。法老的心却是固执，不容百姓去。
And Pharao sent to see: and there was not any thing dead of that which Israel possessed. And Pharao’s heart was hardened, and he did not let the people go.
8 耶和华吩咐摩西、亚伦说：“你们取几捧炉灰，摩西要在法老面前向天扬起来。
And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron: Take to you handfuls of ashes out of the chimney, and let Moses sprinkle it in the air in the presence of Pharao.
9 这灰要在埃及全地变作尘土，在人身上和牲畜身上成了起泡的疮。”
And be there dust upon all the land of Egypt: for there shall be boils and swelling blains both in men and beasts in the whole land of Egypt.
10 摩西、亚伦取了炉灰，站在法老面前。摩西向天扬起来，就在人身上和牲畜身上成了起泡的疮。
And they took ashes out of the chimney, and stood before Pharao, and Moses sprinkled it in the air: and there came boils with swelling blains in men and beasts.
11 行法术的在摩西面前站立不住，因为在他们身上和一切埃及人身上都有这疮。
Neither could the magicians stand before Moses for the boils that were upon them, and in all the land of Egypt.
12 耶和华使法老的心刚硬，不听他们，正如耶和华对摩西所说的。
And the Lord hardened Pharao’s heart, and he hearkened not unto them, as the Lord had spoken to Moses.
13 耶和华对摩西说：“你清早起来，站在法老面前，对他说：‘耶和华—希伯来人的 神这样说：容我的百姓去，好事奉我。
And the Lord said to Moses: Arise in the morning, and stand before Pharao, and thou shalt say to him: Thus saith the Lord the God of the Hebrews: Let my people go to sacrifice to me.
14 因为这一次我要叫一切的灾殃临到你和你臣仆并你百姓的身上，叫你知道在普天下没有像我的。
For I will at this time send all my plagues upon thy heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people: that thou mayst know there is none like me in all the earth.
15 我若伸手用瘟疫攻击你和你的百姓，你早就从地上除灭了。
For now I will stretch out my hand to strike thee, and thy people with pestilence, and thou shalt perish from the earth.
16 其实，我叫你存立，是特要向你显我的大能，并要使我的名传遍天下。
And therefore have I raised thee, that I may shew my power in thee, and my name may be spoken of throughout all the earth.
17 你还向我的百姓自高，不容他们去吗？
Dost thou yet hold back my people: and wilt thou not let them go?
18 到明天约在这时候，我必叫重大的冰雹降下，自从埃及开国以来，没有这样的冰雹。
Behold I will cause it to rain tomorrow at this same hour, an exceeding great hail: such as hath not been in Egypt from the day that it was founded, until this present time.
19 现在你要打发人把你的牲畜和你田间一切所有的催进来；凡在田间不收回家的，无论是人是牲畜，冰雹必降在他们身上，他们就必死。’”
Send therefore now presently, and gather together thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field: for men and beasts, and all things that shall be found abroad, and not gathered together out of the fields, which the hail shall fall upon, shall die.
20 法老的臣仆中，惧怕耶和华这话的，便叫他的奴仆和牲畜跑进家来。
He that feared the word of the Lord among Pharao’s servants, made his servants and his cattle flee into houses:
21 但那不把耶和华这话放在心上的，就将他的奴仆和牲畜留在田里。
But he that regarded not the word of the Lord, left his servants and his cattle in the fields:
22 耶和华对摩西说：“你向天伸杖，使埃及遍地的人身上和牲畜身上，并田间各样菜蔬上，都有冰雹。”
And the Lord said to Moses: Stretch forth thy hand towards heaven, that there may be hail in the whole land of Egypt, upon men, and upon beasts, and upon every herb of the field in the land of Egypt.
23 摩西向天伸杖，耶和华就打雷下雹，有火闪到地上；耶和华下雹在埃及地上。
And Moses stretched forth his rod towards heaven, and the Lord sent thunder and hail, and lightning running along the ground: and the Lord rained hail upon the land of Egypt.
24 那时，雹与火搀杂，甚是厉害，自从埃及成国以来，遍地没有这样的。
And the hail and fire mixed with it drove on together: and it was of so great bigness, as never before was seen in the whole land of Egypt since that nation was founded.
25 在埃及遍地，雹击打了田间所有的人和牲畜，并一切的菜蔬，又打坏田间一切的树木。
And the hail destroyed through all the land of Egypt all things that were in the fields, both man and beast: and the hail smote every herb of the field, and it broke every tree of the country.
26 惟独以色列人所住的歌珊地没有冰雹。
Only in the land of Gessen, where the children of Israel were, the hail fell not.
27 法老打发人召摩西、亚伦来，对他们说：“这一次我犯了罪了。耶和华是公义的；我和我的百姓是邪恶的。
And Pharao sent and called Moses and Aaron, saying to them: I have sinned this time also; the Lord is just: I and my people are wicked.
28 这雷轰和冰雹已经够了。请你们求耶和华，我就容你们去，不再留住你们。”
Pray ye to the Lord, that the thunderings of God and the hail may cease: that I may let you go, and that you may stay here no longer.
29 摩西对他说：“我一出城，就要向耶和华举手祷告；雷必止住，也不再有冰雹，叫你知道全地都是属耶和华的。
Moses said: As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will stretch forth my hands to the Lord, and the thunders shall cease, and the hail shall be no more: that thou mayst know that the earth is the Lord’s.
30 至于你和你的臣仆，我知道你们还是不惧怕耶和华 神。”（
But I know that neither thou, nor thy servants do yet fear the Lord God.
31 那时，麻和大麦被雹击打；因为大麦已经吐穗，麻也开了花。
The flax therefore and the barley were hurt, because the barley was green, and the flax was now boiled:
32 只是小麦和粗麦没有被击打，因为还没有长成。）
But the wheat, and other winter corn were not hurt, because they were lateward.
33 摩西离了法老出城，向耶和华举手祷告；雷和雹就止住，雨也不再浇在地上了。
And when Moses was gone from Pharao out of the city, he stretched forth his hands to the Lord: and the thunders and the hail ceased, neither did there drop any more rain upon the earth.
34 法老见雨和雹与雷止住，就越发犯罪；他和他的臣仆都硬着心。
And Pharao seeing that the rain and the hail, and the thunders were ceased, increased his sin.
35 法老的心刚硬，不容以色列人去，正如耶和华借着摩西所说的。
And his heart was hardened, and the heart of his servants, and it was made exceeding hard: neither did he let the children of Israel go, as the Lord had commanded by the hand of Moses.
