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 in to Pharaoh and say to him, This is what the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, says: Let my people go so that they may give me worship.
2 Thi dersom du vægrer dig ved at lade dem fare, og du fremdeles holder paa dem,
For if you will not let them go, but still keep them in your power,
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 put on your cattle in the field, on the horses and the asses and the camels, on the herds and the flocks, a very evil disease.
4 Og Herren skal gøre Skilsmisse imellem Israels Kvæg og imellem Ægypternes Kvæg, og der skal intet dø af alt det, Israels Børn have.
And the Lord will make a division between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt; there will be no loss of any of the cattle of Israel.
5 Og Herren satte en bestemt Tid og sagde: I Morgen skal Herren gøre denne Gerning i Landet.
And the time was fixed by the Lord, and he said, Tomorrow the Lord will do this thing 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 on the day after, the Lord did as he had said, causing the death of all the cattle of Egypt, but there was no loss of any of the cattle of Israel.
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.
And Pharaoh sent and got word that there was no loss of any of the cattle of Israel. But the heart of Pharaoh was hard and he did 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.
And the Lord said to Moses and to Aaron, Take in your hand a little dust from the fire and let Moses send it in a shower up to heaven before the eyes of Pharaoh.
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.
And it will become small dust over all the land of Egypt, and will be a skin-disease bursting out in wounds on man and beast through all the land of Egypt.
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 some dust from the fire, and placing themselves before Pharaoh, Moses sent it out in a shower up to heaven; and it became a skin-disease bursting out on man and on beast.
11 Og Koglerne kunde ikke bestaa for Mose, formedelst Bylderne; thi der var Bylder paa Koglerne og paa alle Ægyptere.
And the wonder-workers were not able to take their places before Moses, because of the disease; for the disease was on the wonder-workers and on all the Egyptians.
12 Men Herren forhærdede Faraos Hjerte, saa at han ikke hørte dem, som Herren havde sagt til Mose.
And the Lord made Pharaoh's heart hard, and he would not give ear to them, as the Lord had said.
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.
And the Lord said to Moses, Get up early in the morning and take your place before Pharaoh, and say to him, This is what the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, says: Let my people go so that they may give me worship.
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.
For this time I will send all my punishments on yourself and on your servants and on your people; so that you may see that there is no other 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 if I had put the full weight of my hand on you and your people, you would have been cut off from 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, for this very reason, I have kept you from destruction, to make clear to you my power, and so that my name may be honoured through all the earth.
17 Ophøjer du dig endnu over mit Folk, saa at du ikke vil lade dem fare?
Are you still uplifted in pride against my people so that you will not let them 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.
Truly, tomorrow about this time I will send down an ice-storm, such as never was in Egypt from its earliest days till 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.
Then send quickly and get in your cattle and all you have from the fields; for if any man or beast in the field has not been put under cover, the ice-storm will come down on them with destruction.
20 Hvo som da frygtede Herrens Ord blandt Faraos Tjenere, han lod sine Tjenere og sit Kvæg fly til Husene;
Then everyone among the servants of Pharaoh who had the fear of the Lord, made his servants and his cattle come quickly into the house:
21 men hvo som ikke lagde Herrens Ord paa sit Hjerte, lod sine Tjenere og sit Kvæg blive paa Marken.
And he who gave no attention to the word of the Lord, kept his servants and his cattle 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.
And the Lord said to Moses, Now let your hand be stretched out to heaven so that there may be an ice-storm on all the land of Egypt, on man and on beast and on every plant of the field through all 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.
And Moses put out his rod to heaven: and the Lord sent thunder, and an ice-storm, and fire running down on the earth; the Lord sent an ice-storm on 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.
So there was an ice-storm with fire running through it, coming down with great force, such as never was in all the land of Egypt from the time when 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.
And through all the land of Egypt the ice-storm came down on everything which was in the fields, on man and on beast; and every green plant was crushed and every tree of the field broken.
26 Alene i Gosen Land, hvor Israels Børn vare, faldt der ikke Hagel.
Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, there was no ice-storm.
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 sent for Moses and Aaron, and said to them, I have done evil this time: the Lord is upright, and I and my people are sinners.
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.
Make prayer to the Lord; for there has been enough of these thunderings of God and this ice-storm; and I will let you go and will keep you no 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.
And Moses said, When I am gone outside the town, my hands will be stretched out to the Lord; the thunders and the ice-storm will come to an end, so that you may see 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 servants, I am certain that even now the fear of the Lord God will not be in your hearts.
31 Da blev baade Hør og Byg nedslaget; thi Bygget var skudt i Aks og Hørren i Knevler.
And the flax and the barley were damaged, for the barley was almost ready to be cut and the flax was in flower.
32 Men Hveden og Spelten bleve ikke nedslagne; thi de vare endnu ikke skredne.
But the rest of the grain-plants were undamaged, for they had not come up.
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.
So Moses went out of the town, and stretching out his hands made prayer to God: and the thunders and the ice-storm came to an end; and the fall of rain was stopped.
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.
But when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the ice-storm and the thunders were ended, he went on sinning, and made his heart hard, he and his servants.
35 Saa blev Faraos Hjerte forhærdet, og han lod ikke Israels Børn fare, som Herren havde sagt ved Mose.
And the heart of Pharaoh was hard, and he did not let the people go, as the Lord had said by the mouth of Moses.
