2 Mosebog 9
1 Og Herren sagde til Mose: Gak til Farao, og du skal sige til ham: Saa siger Herren, Hebræernes Gud: Lad mit Folk fare, at de kunne tjene mig.
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh and tell him that this is what the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, says: ‘Let My people go, so that they may worship Me.
2 Thi dersom du vægrer dig ved at lade dem fare, og du fremdeles holder paa dem,
But if you continue to restrain them and refuse to let them go,
3 se, da skal Herrens Haand komme over dit Kvæg, som er paa Marken, over Heste, over Asener, over Kameler, over Øksne og over smaat Kvæg, en saare svar Pest.
then the hand of the LORD will bring a severe plague on your livestock in the field—on your horses, donkeys, camels, herds, and flocks.
4 Og Herren skal gøre Skilsmisse imellem Israels Kvæg og imellem Ægypternes Kvæg, og der skal intet dø af alt det, Israels Børn have.
But the LORD will make a distinction between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt, so that no animal belonging to the Israelites will die.’”
5 Og Herren satte en bestemt Tid og sagde: I Morgen skal Herren gøre denne Gerning i Landet.
The LORD set a time, saying, “Tomorrow the LORD will do this in the land.”
6 Og Herren gjorde denne Gerning den næste Dag, og alt Ægypternes Kvæg døde; men der døde ikke eet Stykke af Israels Børns Kvæg.
And the next day the LORD did just that. All the livestock of the Egyptians died, but not one animal belonging to the Israelites died.
7 Og Farao sendte Bud, og se, end ikke eet Stykke var død af Israels Kvæg; men Faraos Hjerte forhærdedes, og han lod ikke Folket fare.
Pharaoh sent officials and found that none of the livestock of the Israelites had died. But Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he would not let the people go.
8 Da sagde Herren til Mose og til Aron: Tager eders Næver fulde af Aske fra Ovnen, og Mose skal slaa den ud mod Himmelen for Faraos Øjne.
Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “Take handfuls of soot from the furnace; in the sight of Pharaoh, Moses is to toss it into the air.
9 Og den skal vorde til Støv over alt Ægyptens Land, og det skal vorde til Bylder, som skal bryde ud med Blegner, paa Folket og paa Kvæget i alt Ægyptens Land.
It will become fine dust over all the land of Egypt, and festering boils will break out on man and beast throughout the land.”
10 Saa toge de Aske fra Ovnen og stode for Farao, og Mose slog den ud mod Himmelen; og der blev Bylder, som brød ud med Blegner, paa Folket og paa Kvæget.
So they took soot from the furnace and stood before Pharaoh. Moses tossed it into the air, and festering boils broke out on man and beast.
11 Og Koglerne kunde ikke bestaa for Mose, formedelst Bylderne; thi der var Bylder paa Koglerne og paa alle Ægyptere.
The magicians could not stand before Moses, because the boils had broken out on them and on all the Egyptians.
12 Men Herren forhærdede Faraos Hjerte, saa at han ikke hørte dem, som Herren havde sagt til Mose.
But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he would not listen to them, just as the LORD had said to Moses.
13 Da sagde Herren til Mose: Staa aarle op om Morgenen og stil dig for Farao og sig til ham: Saa siger Herren, Hebræernes Gud: Lad mit Folk fare, at de kunne tjene mig.
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Get up early in the morning, stand before Pharaoh, and tell him that this is what the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, says: ‘Let My people go, so that they may worship Me.
14 Thi denne Gang vil jeg sende alle mine Plager, saa det gaar dig til Hjerte, baade paa dine Tjenere og paa dit Folk, at du skal fornemme, at der er ingen som jeg paa al Jorden.
Otherwise, I will send all My plagues against you and your officials and your people, so you may know that there is no one like Me in all the earth.
15 Thi havde jeg allerede udrakt min Haand og slaget dig og dit Folk med Pest, da havde du været udslettet af Jorden;
For by this time I could have stretched out My hand and struck you and your people with a plague to wipe you off the earth.
16 men sandelig derfor har jeg ladet dig blive staaende, for at lade dig se min Magt, og for at mit Navn skal kundgøres i alle Lande.
But I have raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display My power to you, and that My name might be proclaimed in all the earth.
17 Ophøjer du dig endnu over mit Folk, saa at du ikke vil lade dem fare?
Still, you lord it over My people and do not allow them to go.
18 Se, jeg vil i Morgen paa denne Tid lade regne en saare svar Hagel, hvis Lige var aldrig før i Ægypten fra den Dag, det blev grundfæstet og hidindtil.
Behold, at this time tomorrow I will rain down the worst hail that has ever fallen on Egypt, from the day it was founded until now.
19 Saa send nu hen, saml dit Kvæg og alt det, du har paa Marken; thi alle Mennesker og alt Kvæg, som findes paa Marken og ikke ere samlede i Hus, og som Hagelen slaar ned paa, skulle dø.
So give orders now to shelter your livestock and everything you have in the field. Every man or beast that remains in the field and is not brought inside will die when the hail comes down upon them.’”
20 Hvo som da frygtede Herrens Ord blandt Faraos Tjenere, han lod sine Tjenere og sit Kvæg fly til Husene;
Those among Pharaoh’s officials who feared the word of the LORD hurried to bring their servants and livestock to shelter,
21 men hvo som ikke lagde Herrens Ord paa sit Hjerte, lod sine Tjenere og sit Kvæg blive paa Marken.
but those who disregarded the word of the LORD left their servants and livestock in the field.
22 Da sagde Herren til Mose: Ræk din Haand op mod Himmelen, og der skal vorde Hagel over hele Ægyptens Land, over Mennesker og over Kvæg og over alle Urter paa Marken i Ægyptens Land.
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward heaven, so that hail may fall on all the land of Egypt—on man and beast and every plant of the field throughout the land of Egypt.”
23 Og Mose rakte sin Stav op mod Himmelen, og Herren lod tordne og hagle, og der for Ild ned paa Jorden; og Herren lod regne Hagel over Ægyptens Land.
So Moses stretched out his staff toward heaven, and the LORD sent thunder and hail, and lightning struck the earth. So the LORD rained down hail upon the land of Egypt.
24 Og der blev Hagel og Ild, som slyngede sig midt i Hagelen, saare svar, saadan som ikke havde været i hele Ægyptens Land, fra den Tid det havde været et Folks Land.
The hail fell and the lightning continued flashing through it. The hail was so severe that nothing like it had ever been seen in all the land of Egypt from the time it became a nation.
25 Og Hagelen nedslog i hele Ægyptens Land det, som var paa Marken, baade Mennesker og Kvæg; og alle Urter paa Marken slog Hagelen og knækkede alle Træer paa Marken.
Throughout the land of Egypt, the hail struck down everything in the field, both man and beast; it beat down every plant of the field and stripped every tree.
26 Alene i Gosen Land, hvor Israels Børn vare, faldt der ikke Hagel.
The only place where it did not hail was in the land of Goshen, where the Israelites lived.
27 Da sendte Farao hen og lod kalde ad Mose og Aron og sagde til dem: Jeg har syndet denne Gang; Herren er den retfærdige, men jeg og mit Folk ere de ugudelige.
Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron. “This time I have sinned,” he said. “The LORD is righteous, and I and my people are wicked.
28 Beder til Herren, at det maa være nok med den Guds Torden og Hagel, saa vil jeg lade eder fare, at I ikke skulle bie længere.
Pray to the LORD, for there has been enough of God’s thunder and hail. I will let you go; you do not need to stay any longer.”
29 Og Mose sagde til ham: Naar jeg kommer ud af Staden, da vil jeg udbrede mine Hænder til Herren, saa skal Tordenen høre op, og Hagelen skal ikke falde mere, at du skal fornemme, at Jorden hører Herren til.
Moses said to him, “When I have left the city, I will spread out my hands to the LORD. The thunder will cease, and there will be no more hail, so that you may know that the earth is the LORD’s.
30 Dog om dig og dine Tjenere ved jeg, at I endnu ikke frygte for den Herre Guds Ansigt.
But as for you and your officials, I know that you still do not fear the LORD our God.”
31 Da blev baade Hør og Byg nedslaget; thi Bygget var skudt i Aks og Hørren i Knevler.
(Now the flax and barley were destroyed, since the barley was ripe and the flax was in bloom;
32 Men Hveden og Spelten bleve ikke nedslagne; thi de vare endnu ikke skredne.
but the wheat and spelt were not destroyed, because they are late crops.)
33 Og Mose gik fra Farao ud af Staden og udbredte sine Hænder til Herren; saa lod det af at tordne og hagle, og Regnen blev ikke mere udøst paa Jorden.
Then Moses departed from Pharaoh, went out of the city, and spread out his hands to the LORD. The thunder and hail ceased, and the rain no longer poured down on the land.
34 Der Farao saa, at det holdt op at regne og hagle og tordne, da syndede han endda; og han forhærdede sit Hjerte, han og hans Tjenere.
When Pharaoh saw that the rain and hail and thunder had ceased, he sinned again and hardened his heart—he and his officials.
35 Saa blev Faraos Hjerte forhærdet, og han lod ikke Israels Børn fare, som Herren havde sagt ved Mose.
So Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he would not let the Israelites go, just as the LORD had said through Moses.
