出埃及記 10
1 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，
And the Lord said to Moses: Go in to Pharao; for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants: that I may work these my signs in him.
2 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。」
And thou mayest tell in the ears of thy sons, and of they grandsons, how often I have plagued the Egyptians, and wrought my signs amongst them: and you may know that I am the Lord:
3 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。
Therefore Moses and Aaron went in to Pharao, and said to him: Thus saith the Lord God of the Hebrews: How long refusest thou to submit to me? let my people go, to sacrifice to me.
4 你若不肯容我的百姓去，明天我要使蝗蟲進入你的境內，
But if thou resist, and wilt not let them go, behold I will bring in tomorrow the locust into thy coasts:
5 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。
To cover the face of the earth that nothing thereof may appear, but that which the hail hath left may be eaten: for they shall feed upon all the trees that spring in the fields.
6 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。
And they shall fill thy houses, and the houses of thy servants, and of all the Egyptians: such a number as thy fathers have not seen, nor thy grandfathers, from the time they were first upon the earth, until this present day. And he turned himself away, and went forth from Pharao.
7 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？」
And Pharao’s servants said to him: How long shall we endure this scandal? let the men go to sacrifice to the Lord their God. Dost thou not see that Egypt is undone?
8 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？」
And they called back Moses and Aaron to Pharao: and he said to them: Go, sacrifice to the Lord your God: who are they that shall go?
9 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。」
Moses said: We will go with our young and old, with our sons and daughters, with our sheep and herds: for it is the solemnity of the Lord our God.
10 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，
And Pharao answered: So be the Lord with you, as I shall let you and your children go: who can doubt but that you intend some great evil?
11 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。
It shall not be so: but go ye men only, and sacrifice to the Lord: for this yourselves also desired. And immediately they were cast out from Pharao’s presence.
12 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。」
And the Lord said to Moses: Stretch forth thy hand upon the land of Egypt unto the locust, that it may come upon it, and devour every herb that is left after the hail.
13 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。
And Moses stretched forth his rod upon the land of Egypt: and the Lord brought a burning wind all that day, and night: and when it was morning, the burning wind raised the locusts:
14 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。
And they came up over the whole land of Egypt: and rested in all the coasts of the Egyptians innumerable, the like as had not been before that time, nor shall be hereafter.
15 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。
And they covered the whole face of the earth, wasting all things. And the grass of the earth was devoured, and what fruits soever were on the trees, which the hail had left: and there remained not any thing that was green on the trees, or in the herbs of the earth in all Egypt.
16 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。
Wherefore Pharao in haste called Moses and Aaron, and said to them: I have sinned against the Lord your God, and against you.
17 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。」
But now forgive me my sin this time also, and pray to the Lord your God, that he take away from me this death.
18 摩西就離開法老去求耶和華。
And Moses going forth from the presence of Pharao, prayed to the Lord.
19 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。
And he made a very strong wind to blow from the west, and it took the locusts and cast them into the Red Sea: there remained not so much as one in all the coasts of Egypt.
20 但耶和華使法老的心剛硬，不容以色列人去。
And the Lord hardened Pharao’s heart, neither did he let the children of Israel go.
21 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。」
And the Lord said to Moses: Stretch out they hand towards heaven: and may there be darkness upon the land of Egypt, so thick that it may be felt.
22 摩西向天伸杖，埃及遍地就烏黑了三天。
And Moses stretch forth his hand towards heaven: and there came horrible darkness in all the land of Egypt for three days.
23 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。
No man saw his brother, nor moved himself out of the place where he was: but wheresoever the children of Israel dwelt there was light.
24 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。」
And Pharao called Moses and Aaron, and said to them: Go sacrifice to the Lord: let your sheep only, and herds remain; let your children go with you.
25 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。
Moses said: Thou shalt give us also sacrifices and burnt offerings, to the Lord our God.
26 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。」
All the flocks shall go with us: there shall not a hoof remain of them: for they are necessary for the service of the Lord our God: especially as we know not what must be offered, till we come to the very place.
27 但耶和華使法老的心剛硬，不肯容他們去。
And the Lord hardened Pharao’s heart, and he would not let them go.
28 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！」
And Pharao said to Moses: Get thee from me, and beware thou see not my face any more: in what day soever thou shalt come in my sight, thou shalt die.
29 摩西說：「你說得好！我必不再見你的面了。」
Moses answered: So shall it be as thou hast spoken, I will not see thy face any more.
