2 Mosebog 7
1 Da sagde HERREN til Moses: »Se, jeg gør dig til Gud for Farao, men din Broder Aron skal være din Profet.
And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'See, I have given thee a god to Pharaoh, and Aaron thy brother is thy prophet;
2 Du skal sige til ham alt, hvad jeg paalægger dig, men din Broder Aron skal sige det til Farao, for at han skal lade Israeliterne rejse ud af sit Land.
thou — thou dost speak all that I command thee, and Aaron thy brother doth speak unto Pharaoh, and he hath sent the sons of Israel out of his land.
3 Men jeg vil forhærde Faraos Hjerte og derefter gøre mange Tegn og Undere i Ægypten.
'And I harden the heart of Pharaoh, and have multiplied My signs and My wonders in the land of Egypt,
4 Farao skal ikke høre paa eder, men jeg vil lægge min Haand paa Ægypten og føre mine Hærskarer, mit Folk Israeliterne, ud af Ægypten med vældige Straffedomme;
and Pharaoh doth not hearken, and I have put My hand on Egypt, and have brought out My hosts, My people, the sons of Israel, from the land of Egypt by great judgments;
5 og naar jeg udrækker min Haand mod Ægypten og fører Israeliterne ud derfra, skal Ægypterne kende, at jeg er HERREN.«
and the Egyptians have known that I [am] Jehovah, in My stretching out My hand against Egypt; and I have brought out the sons of Israel from their midst.'
6 Da gjorde Moses og Aron, som HERREN paalagde dem.
And Moses doth — Aaron also — as Jehovah commanded them; so have they done;
7 Moses var firsindstyve og Aron tre og firsindstyve Aar gammel, da de talte til Farao.
and Moses [is] a son of eighty years, and Aaron [is] a son of eighty and three years, in their speaking unto Pharaoh.
8 Og HERREN talede til Moses og Aron og sagde:
And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
9 »Naar Farao kræver et Under af eder, sig saa til Aron: Tag din Stav og kast den ned foran Farao, saa skal den blive til en Slange!«
'When Pharaoh speaketh unto you, saying, Give for yourselves a wonder; then thou hast said unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast before Pharaoh — it becometh a monster.'
10 Da gik Moses og Aron til Farao og gjorde, som HERREN bød; og da Aron kastede sin Stav foran Farao og hans Tjenere, blev den til en Slange.
And Moses goeth in — Aaron also — unto Pharaoh, and they do so as Jehovah hath commanded; and Aaron casteth his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it becometh a monster.
11 Men Farao lod som Modtræk Vismændene og Besværgerne kalde, og de, Ægyptens Koglere, gjorde ogsaa det samme ved Hjælp af deres hemmelige Kunster;
And Pharaoh also calleth for wise men, and for sorcerers; and the scribes of Egypt, they also, with their flashings, do so,
12 de kastede hver sin Stav, og Stavene blev til Slanger, men Arons Stav opslugte deres Stave.
and they cast down each his rod, and they become monsters, and the rod of Aaron swalloweth their rods;
13 Men Faraos Hjerte blev forhærdet, og han hørte ikke paa dem, saaledes som HERREN havde sagt.
and the heart of Pharaoh is strong, and he hath not hearkened unto them, as Jehovah hath spoken.
14 HERREN sagde nu til Moses: »Faraos Hjerte er forstokket, han vægrer sig ved at lade Folket rejse.
And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'The heart of Pharaoh hath been hard, he hath refused to send the people away;
15 Gaa derfor i Morgen tidlig til Farao, naar han begiver sig ned til Vandet, og træd frem for ham ved Nilens Bred og tag Staven, der forvandledes til en Slange, i Haanden
go unto Pharaoh in the morning, lo, he is going out to the water, and thou hast stood to meet him by the edge of the River, and the rod which was turned to a serpent thou dost take in thy hand,
16 og sig til ham: HERREN, Hebræernes Gud, sendte mig til dig med det Bud: Lad mit Folk rejse, at det kan dyrke mig i Ørkenen! Men hidtil har du ikke adlydt.
and thou hast said unto him: Jehovah, God of the Hebrews, hath sent me unto thee, saying, Send My people away, and they serve Me in the wilderness; and lo, thou hast not hearkened hitherto.
17 Saa siger HERREN: Deraf skal du kende, at jeg er HERREN: Se, jeg slaar Vandet i Nilen med Staven, som jeg holder i min Haand, og det skal forvandles til Blod,
'Thus said Jehovah: By this thou knowest that I [am] Jehovah; lo, I am smiting with the rod which [is] in my hand, on the waters which [are] in the River, and they have been turned to blood,
18 Fiskene i Nilen skal dø, og Nilen skal stinke, og Ægypterne skal væmmes ved at drikke Vand fra Nilen.«
and the fish that [are] in the River die, and the River hath stank, and the Egyptians have been wearied of drinking waters from the River.'
19 Og HERREN sagde til Moses: »Sig til Aron: Tag din Stav og ræk din Haand ud over Ægypternes Vande, deres Floder, Kanaler, Damme og alle Vandsamlinger, saa skal Vandet blive til Blod, og der skal være Blod i hele Ægypten, baade i Trækar og Stenkar.«
And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and stretch out thy hand against the waters of Egypt, against their streams, against their rivers, and against their ponds, and against all their collections of waters; and they are blood — and there hath been blood in all the land of Egypt, both in [vessels of] wood, and in [those of] stone.'
20 Og Moses og Aron gjorde, som HERREN bød; Moses løftede Staven og slog Vandet i Nilen for Øjnene af Farao og hans Tjenere, og alt Vandet i Nilen forvandledes til Blod;
And Moses and Aaron do so, as Jehovah hath commanded, and he lifteth up [his hand] with the rod, and smiteth the waters which [are] in the River, before the eyes of Pharaoh, and before the eyes of his servants, and all the waters which [are] in the River are turned to blood,
21 Fiskene i Nilen døde, og Nilen stank, saa Ægypterne ikke kunde drikke Vand fra Nilen, og der var Blod i hele Ægypten.
and the fish which [is] in the River hath died, and the River stinketh, and the Egyptians have not been able to drink water from the River; and the blood is in all the land of Egypt.
22 Men de Ægyptiske Koglere gjorde det samme ved Hjælp af deres hemmelige Kunster, og Faraos Hjerte blev forhærdet, saa han ikke hørte paa dem, saaledes som HERREN havde sagt.
And the scribes of Egypt do so with their flashings, and the heart of Pharaoh is strong, and he hath not hearkened unto them, as Jehovah hath spoken,
23 Da vendte Farao sig bort og gik hjem, og heller ikke dette lagde han sig paa Sinde.
and Pharaoh turneth and goeth in unto his house, and hath not set his heart even to this;
24 Men alle Ægypterne gravede i Omegnen af Nilen efter Drikkevand, thi de kunde ikke drikke Nilvandet.
and all the Egyptians seek water round about the river to drink, for they have not been able to drink of the waters of the River.
25 Og saaledes gik der syv Dage, efter at HERREN havde slaaet Nilen.
And seven days are completed after Jehovah's smiting the River,
