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,
The LORD said to Moses, “Go in to Pharaoh, for I have hardened his heart and the heart of his servants, that I may show these my signs among them;
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 you may tell in the hearing of your son, and of your son’s son, what things I have done to Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; 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.
Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and said to him, “This is what the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, says: ‘How long will you refuse to humble yourself 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.
Or else, if you refuse to let my people go, behold, tomorrow I will bring locusts into your country,
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 surface of the earth, so that one won’t be able to see the earth. They shall eat the residue of that which has escaped, which remains to you from the hail, and shall eat every tree which grows 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.
Your houses shall be filled, and the houses of all your servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians, as neither your fathers nor your fathers’ fathers have seen, since the day that they were on the earth to this day.’” He turned, 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?
Pharaoh’s servants said to him, “How long will this man be a snare to us? Let the men go, that they may serve the LORD, their God. Don’t you yet know 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?
Moses and Aaron were brought again to Pharaoh, and he said to them, “Go, serve the LORD your God; but who are those who will 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 go with our young and with our old. We will go with our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our herds; for we must hold a feast to the LORD.”
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.
He said to them, “The LORD be with you if I let you go with your little ones! See, evil is clearly before your faces.
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 you who are men, and serve the LORD; for that is what you desire!” Then 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.
The LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up on the land of Egypt, and eat every herb of the land, even all that the hail has 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.
Moses stretched out his rod over the land of Egypt, and the LORD brought an east wind on the land all that day, and all 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;
The locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested in all the borders of Egypt. They were very grievous. Before them there were no such locusts as they, nor will there ever be again.
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 surface of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened, and they ate every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left. There remained nothing green, either tree or herb 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 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.
Now therefore please forgive my sin again, and pray to the LORD your God, that he may also take away from me this death.”
18 Og han gik ud fra Farao, og han bad til Herren.
Moses went out from Pharaoh, and 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.
The LORD sent an exceedingly strong west wind, which took up the locusts, and drove them into the Sea of Suf. There remained not one locust in all the borders of Egypt.
20 Men Herren forhærdede Faraos Hjerte, og han lod ikke Israels Børn fare.
But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he didn’t 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.
The LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward the sky, 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.
Moses stretched out his hand toward the sky, and there was a thick darkness in all the 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.
They didn’t see one another, and nobody rose 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.
Pharaoh called to Moses, and said, “Go, serve the LORD. Only let your flocks and your herds stay behind. 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.
Moses said, “You must also give into our hand sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice 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.
Our livestock also shall go with us. Not a hoof shall be left behind, for of it we must take to serve the LORD our God; and we don’t know with what we must serve the LORD, until we come there.”
27 Men Herren forhærdede Faraos Hjerte, og han vilde ikke lade dem fare.
But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he wouldn’t 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.
Pharaoh said to him, “Get away from me! Be careful to see my face no more; for in the day you see my face you shall die!”
29 Og Mose sagde: Du talede ret; jeg vil herefter ikke mere se dit Ansigt.
Moses said, “You have spoken well. I will see your face again no more.”
