2 Mosebog 10
1 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,
And the Lord said to Moses: “Enter to Pharaoh. For I have hardened his heart, and that of his servants, so that I may accomplish these, my signs, in him,
2 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.
and so that you may describe to the ears of your sons and your grandsons how often I opposed the Egyptians and wrought my signs among them, and so that you may know that I am the Lord.”
3 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.
Therefore, Moses and Aaron entered to Pharaoh, and they said to him: “Thus says the Lord God of the Hebrews: How long will you be unwilling to be subject to me? Release my people to sacrifice to me.
4 Thi dersom du vægrer dig ved at lade mit Folk fare, se, da vil jeg i Morgen lade Græshopper komme i dit Landemærke.
But if you resist, and you are unwilling to release them, behold, tomorrow I will bring locusts into your borders.
5 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.
And they shall cover the face of the earth, lest any part of it be seen. Yes, and what remains from the hail shall be eaten. For they will gnaw away all the trees that spring up in the fields.
6 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.
And they will fill your houses, and those of your servants and of all the Egyptians: so many as your fathers and ancestors have not seen, from the time that they rose up over the earth, even until this present day.” And he turned himself away, and he departed from Pharaoh.
7 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?
Then the servants of Pharaoh said to him: “How long must we endure this scandal? Release the men, in order to sacrifice to the Lord their God. Do you not see that Egypt is perishing?”
8 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?
And they called back Moses and Aaron to Pharaoh, who said to them: “Go, sacrifice to the Lord your God. Who are they who would go?”
9 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.
Moses said: “We will travel with our little ones and our elderly, with our sons and daughters, with our sheep and herds. For it is a solemnity of the Lord our God.”
10 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.
And Pharaoh responded: “So let the Lord be with you. But if I were to release you and your little ones, who would doubt that you intend some great wickedness?
11 Ikke saa! I Mænd, farer nu hen og tjener Herren, thi det have I begæret; og man drev dem ud fra Faraos Ansigt.
It will not be so. However, go only with the men, and sacrifice to the Lord. For this, too, is what you yourselves requested.” And immediately they were cast out from the sight of Pharaoh.
12 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.
Then the Lord said to Moses: “Extend your hand over the land of Egypt, toward the locusts, so that they may rise up over it, and devour every plant which remains from the hail.”
13 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.
And Moses extended his staff over the land of Egypt. And the Lord brought a burning wind all that day and night. And when morning came, the burning wind lifted up the locusts.
14 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;
And they ascended over the entire land of Egypt. And they settled into all the parts of the Egyptians: innumerable, such as had not been before that time, nor ever would be thereafter.
15 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.
And they covered the entire face of the land, laying waste to all things. And the plants of the land were devoured, along with whatever fruits were on the trees, which the hail had left behind. And nothing at all of the greenery remained on the trees or on the plants of the earth in all of Egypt.
16 Da skyndte Farao sig at kalde ad Mose og Aron, og han sagde: Jeg har syndet imod Herren eders Gud og imod eder.
For this reason, Pharaoh hurriedly called Moses and Aaron, and he said to them: “I have sinned against the Lord your God, and against you.
17 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.
But now, release me from my sin even this time, and petition the Lord your God, so that he may take this death away from me.”
18 Og han gik ud fra Farao, og han bad til Herren.
And Moses, departing from the sight of Pharaoh, prayed to the Lord.
19 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.
And he caused a very strong wind to blow from the west, and, seizing the locusts, it cast them into the Red Sea. There remained not so much as one in all the parts of Egypt.
20 Men Herren forhærdede Faraos Hjerte, og han lod ikke Israels Børn fare.
And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh; neither did he release the sons of Israel.
21 Og Herren sagde til Mose: Ræk din Haand op mod Himmelen, at der bliver Mørke over Ægyptens Land, at man kan føle paa Mørket.
Then the Lord said to Moses: “Extend your hand into the sky. And let there be a darkness over the land of Egypt, so dense that they may be able to feel it.”
22 Og Mose rakte sin Haand op mod Himmelen; da blev der tykt Mørke i hele Ægyptens Land i tre Dage.
And Moses extended his hand into the sky. And there came a horrible darkness in the entire land of Egypt for three days.
23 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.
No one saw his brother, nor moved himself out of the place where he was. But wherever the sons of Israel were living, there was light.
24 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.
And Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron, and he said to them: “Go, sacrifice to the Lord. Only let your sheep and herds remain behind. Your little ones may go with you.”
25 Og Mose sagde: Du skal og medgive os Slagtoffere og Brændoffere, at vi kunne ofre til Herren, vor Gud.
Moses said: “You must also permit us victims and holocausts, which we may offer to the Lord our God.
26 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.
All the flocks shall travel with us. Not one hoof of them shall remain behind. For they are necessary for the worship of the Lord our God, especially since we do not know what ought to be immolated, until we arrive at the very place.”
27 Men Herren forhærdede Faraos Hjerte, og han vilde ikke lade dem fare.
But the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he was not willing to release them.
28 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.
And Pharaoh said to Moses: “Withdraw from me, and beware that you no longer see my face. On whatever day you will appear in my sight, you shall die.”
29 Og Mose sagde: Du talede ret; jeg vil herefter ikke mere se dit Ansigt.
Moses responded: “So be it, just as you have said. I will no longer see your face.”
