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 Yhwh said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh: for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I might shew these my signs before 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 that thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son, and of thy son’s son, what things I have wrought in Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; that ye may know how that I am Yhwh.
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.
And Moses and Aaron came in unto Pharaoh, and said unto him, Thus saith Yhwh God of the Hebrews, How long wilt thou refuse to humble thyself before me? let my people go, that they may serve 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.
Else, if thou refuse to let my people go, behold, to morrow will I bring the locusts into thy coast:
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, that one cannot be able to see the earth: and they shall eat the residue of that which is escaped, which remaineth unto you from the hail, and shall eat every tree which groweth for you out of the field:
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 shall fill thy houses, and the houses of all thy servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians; which neither thy fathers, nor thy fathers’ fathers have seen, since the day that they were upon the earth unto this day. And he turned himself, and went out 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?
And Pharaoh’s servants said unto him, How long shall this man be a snare unto us? let the men go, that they may serve Yhwh their God: knowest thou not yet that Egypt is destroyed?
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 Moses and Aaron were brought again unto Pharaoh: and he said unto them, Go, serve Yhwh your God: but who are they that shall 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.
And Moses said, We will go with our young and with our old, with our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our herds will we go; for we must hold a feast unto Yhwh.
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 he said unto them, Let Yhwh be so with you, as I will let you go, and your little ones: look to it; for evil is before you.
11 Ikke saa! I Mænd, farer nu hen og tjener Herren, thi det have I begæret; og man drev dem ud fra Faraos Ansigt.
Not so: go now ye that are men, and serve Yhwh; for that ye did desire. And they were driven out from Pharaoh’s presence.
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.
And Yhwh said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up upon the land of Egypt, and eat every herb of the land, even all that the hail hath left.
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 stretched forth his rod over the land of Egypt, And Yhwh brought an east wind upon the land all that day, and all that night; and when it was morning, the east wind brought 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 the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested in all the coasts of Egypt: very grievous were they; before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after them shall be such.
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.
For they covered the face of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened; and they did eat every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left: and there remained not any green thing in the trees, or in the herbs of the field, through all the land 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.
Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste; and he said, I have sinned against Yhwh 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.
Now therefore forgive, I pray thee, my sin only this once, and intreat Yhwh your God, that he may take away from me this death only.
18 Og han gik ud fra Farao, og han bad til Herren.
And he went out from Pharaoh, and intreated Yhwh.
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 Yhwh turned a mighty strong west wind, which took away the locusts, and cast them into the Red sea; there remained not one locust in all the coasts of Egypt.
20 Men Herren forhærdede Faraos Hjerte, og han lod ikke Israels Børn fare.
But Yhwh hardened Pharaoh’s heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go.
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.
And Yhwh said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt.
22 Og Mose rakte sin Haand op mod Himmelen; da blev der tykt Mørke i hele Ægyptens Land i tre Dage.
And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt 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.
They saw not one another, neither rose any from his place for three days: but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.
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 unto Moses, and said, Go ye, serve Yhwh; only let your flocks and your herds be stayed: let your little ones also go with you.
25 Og Mose sagde: Du skal og medgive os Slagtoffere og Brændoffere, at vi kunne ofre til Herren, vor Gud.
And Moses said, Thou must give us also sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice unto Yhwh 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.
Our cattle also shall go with us; there shall not an hoof be left behind; for thereof must we take to serve Yhwh our God; and we know not with what we must serve Yhwh, until we come thither.
27 Men Herren forhærdede Faraos Hjerte, og han vilde ikke lade dem fare.
But Yhwh hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he would not let them go.
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 unto him, Get thee from me, take heed to thyself, see my face no more; for in that day thou seest my face thou shalt die.
29 Og Mose sagde: Du talede ret; jeg vil herefter ikke mere se dit Ansigt.
And Moses said, Thou hast spoken well, I will see thy face again no more.
