2 Mosebog 7
1 Og Herren sagde til Mose: Se, jeg har sat dig til en Gud for Farao og Aron, din Broder, skal være din Profet.
And the LORD said to Moses, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.
2 Du skal tale alt det, som jeg vil befale dig; men Aron, din Broder, skal tale til Farao, at han skal lade Israels Børn drage ud af sit Land.
Thou shalt speak all that I command thee: and Aaron thy brother shall speak to Pharaoh, that he send the children of Israel out of his land.
3 Men jeg vil forhærde Faraos Hjerte og mangfoldiggøre mine Tegn og mine underlige Gerninger i Ægyptens Land.
And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.
4 Og Farao skal ikke høre eder, og jeg vil lægge min Haand paa Ægypterne og udføre mine Hære, mit Folk, Israels Børn, af Ægyptens Land ved store Domme.
But Pharaoh shall not hearken to you, that I may lay my hand upon Egypt, and bring forth my armies, my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt, by great judgments.
5 Og Ægypterne skulle fornemme, at jeg er Herren, naar jeg udrækker min Haand over Ægypten og fører Israels Børn midt ud fra dem.
And the Egyptians shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I stretch forth my hand upon Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them.
6 Og Mose og Aron gjorde det; saasom Herren havde befalet dem, saa gjorde de.
And Moses and Aaron did as the LORD commanded them, so did they.
7 Og Mose var firsindstyve Aar gammel, og Aron tre og firsindstyve Aar gammel, da de talede til Farao.
And Moses [was] eighty years old, and Aaron eighty and three years old, when they spoke to Pharaoh.
8 Og Herren sagde til Mose og til Aron, sigende:
And the LORD spoke to Moses, and to Aaron, saying,
9 Naar Farao taler til eder sigende: Gører en underlig Gerning, da skal du sige til Aron: Tag din Stav og kast den for Faraos Ansigt: Den skal blive til en Slange.
When Pharaoh shall speak to you, saying, Show a miracle for you: then thou shalt say to Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast [it] before Pharaoh, [and] it shall become a serpent.
10 Da kom Mose og Aron til Farao og gjorde saaledes, som Herren havde befalet, og Aron kastede sin Stav for Farao og for hans Tjenere, og den blev til en Slange.
And Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and they did so as the LORD had commanded: And Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it became a serpent.
11 Da kaldte ogsaa Farao ad de vise og Troldkarlene, men ogsaa disse, de ægyptiske Koglere, gjorde ligesaa med deres Besværgelser.
Then Pharaoh also called the wise-men, and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments.
12 Og de kastede hver sin Stav, og de bleve Slanger; men Arons Stav opslugte deres Stave.
For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods.
13 Og Faraos Hjerte forhærdedes, at han hørte dem ikke, ligesom Herren havde sagt.
And he hardened Pharaoh's heart that he hearkened not to them; as the LORD had said.
14 Og Herren sagde til Mose: Faraos Hjerte er haardt, han vægrer sig ved at lade Folket fare.
And the LORD said to Moses, Pharaoh's heart [is] hardened; he refuseth to let the people go.
15 Gak til Farao aarle, se, han gaar ud til Vandet, og du skal træde frem mod ham ved Bredden af Floden; og din Stav, som var omvendt til en Slange, skal du tage i din Haand.
Go to Pharaoh in the morning; lo, he goeth out to the water, and thou shalt stand by the river's brink against he cometh; and the rod which was turned to a serpent shalt thou take in thy hand.
16 Og du skal sige til ham: Herren, Hebræernes Gud, har sendt mig til dig og sagt: Lad mit Folk fare, at de kunne tjene mig i Ørken, og se, du har ej villet høre hidindtil.
And thou shalt say to him, The LORD God of the Hebrews hath sent me to thee, saying, Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness: and behold, hitherto thou wouldest not hear.
17 Saa siger Herren: Af dette skal du fornemme, at jeg er Herren; se, jeg slaar med Staven, som jeg har i min Haand, paa Vandet, som er i Floden, og det skal omvendes til Blod.
Thus saith the LORD, In this thou shalt know that I [am] the LORD: behold, I will smite with the rod that [is] in my hand upon the waters which [are] in the river, and they shall be turned to blood.
18 Og Fiskene, som ere i Floden, skulle dø, og Floden skal lugte ilde, saa at Ægypterne skulle væmmes ved at drikke Vand af Floden.
And the fish that [is] in the river shall die, and the river shall be offensive in smell; and the Egyptians shall lothe to drink of the water of the river.
19 Og Herren sagde til Mose: Sig til Aron: Tag din Stav og ræk din Haand ud over Vandet i Ægypten, over deres Strømme, over deres Floder og over deres Søer og over alle deres Vandsamlinger, og de skulle vorde Blod, og der skal være Blod i hele Ægyptens Land, baade i Træ- og i Stenkarrene.
And the LORD spoke to Moses, Say to Aaron, Take thy rod, and stretch out thy hand upon the waters of Egypt, upon their streams, upon their rivers, and upon their ponds, and upon all their pools of water, that they may become blood: and [that] there may be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in [vessels of] wood, and in [vessels of] stone.
20 Og Mose og Aron gjorde saa, eftersom Herren havde befalet, og han opløftede Staven og slog Vandet, som var i Floden, for Faraos Øjne og for hans Tjeneres Øjne, og alt Vandet, som var i Floden, omvendtes til Blod.
And Moses and Aaron did so, as the LORD commanded; and he lifted up the rod and smote the waters that [were] in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight of his servants; and all the waters that [were] in the river were turned into blood.
21 Og Fiskene, som vare i Floden, døde, og Floden lugtede ilde, saa at Ægypterne ikke kunde drikke Vand af Floden; og der blev Blod i hele Ægyptens Land.
And the fish that [was] in the river died; and the river was offensive in smell, and the Egyptians could not drink of the water of the river; and there was blood throughout all the land of Egypt.
22 Og de ægyptiske Koglere gjorde ligesaa med deres Besværgelser; og Faraos Hjerte forhærdedes, at han hørte dem ikke, som Herren havde sagt.
And the magicians of Egypt did so with their enchantments: and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, neither did he hearken to them; as the LORD had said.
23 Og Farao vendte sig og gik til sit Hus og lagde end ikke dette paa sit Hjerte.
And Pharaoh turned and went into his house, neither did he regard this also.
24 Men alle Ægypterne grove omkring Floden efter Vand at drikke; thi de kunde ikke drikke af Vandet i Floden.
And all the Egyptians digged round about the river for water to drink; for they could not drink of the water of the river.
25 Og der forløb syv Dage, efter at Herren havde slaget Floden.
And seven days were fulfilled after that the LORD had smitten the river.
