2 Mosebog 9
1 Derpaa sagde HERREN til Moses: »Gaa til Farao og sig til ham: Saa siger HERREN, Hebræernes Gud: Lad mit Folk rejse, for at de kan dyrke mig!
Then the LORD said unto Moses: 'Go in unto Pharaoh, and tell him: Thus saith the LORD, the God of the Hebrews: Let My people go, that they may serve Me.
2 Men hvis du vægrer dig ved at lade dem rejse og bliver ved med at holde dem fast,
For if thou refuse to let them go, and wilt hold them still,
3 se, da skal HERRENS Haand komme over dit Kvæg paa Marken, over Hestene, Æslerne og Kamelerne, Hornkvæget og Smaakvæget med en saare forfærdelig Pest.
behold, the hand of the LORD is upon thy cattle which are in the field, upon the horses, upon the asses, upon the camels, upon the herds, and upon the flocks; there shall be a very grievous murrain.
4 Og HERREN skal sætte Skel mellem Israels Kvæg og Ægypternes Kvæg, saa der ikke skal dø noget af, hvad der tilhører Israeliterne.«
And the LORD shall make a division between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt; and there shall nothing die of all that belongeth to the children of Israel.'
5 Og HERREN satte en Tidsfrist, idet han sagde: »I Morgen skal HERREN lade dette ske i Landet.«
And the LORD appointed a set time, saying: 'Tomorrow the LORD shall do this thing in the land.'
6 Den følgende Dag lod HERREN det saa ske, og alt Ægypternes Kvæg døde, men af Israeliternes Kvæg døde ikke et eneste Dyr.
And the LORD did that thing on the morrow, and all the cattle of Egypt died; but of the cattle of the children of Israel died not one.
7 Farao sendte da Bud, og se, ikke et eneste Dyr af Israeliternes Kvæg var dødt. Men Faraos Hjerte blev forhærdet, og han lod ikke Folket rejse.
And Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there was not so much as one of the cattle of the Israelites dead. But the heart of Pharaoh was stubborn, and he did not let the people go.
8 Derpaa sagde HERREN til Moses og Aron: »Tag begge eders Hænder fulde af Sod fra Smelteovnen, og Moses skal kaste det i Vejret i Faraos Paasyn!
And the LORD said unto Moses and unto Aaron: 'Take to you handfuls of soot of the furnace, and let Moses throw it heavenward in the sight of Pharaoh.
9 Saa skal det blive til en Støvsky over hele Ægypten og til Betændelse, der bryder ud i Bylder paa Mennesker og Kvæg i hele Ægypten!«
And it shall become small dust over all the land of Egypt, and shall be a boil breaking forth with blains upon man and upon beast, throughout all the land of Egypt.'
10 Da tog de Sod fra Smelteovnen og traadte frem for Farao, og Moses kastede det i Vejret; og det blev til Betændelse, der brød ud i Bylder paa Mennesker og Kvæg.
And they took soot of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses threw it up heavenward; and it became a boil breaking forth with blains upon man and upon beast.
11 Og Koglerne kunde ikke holde Stand over for Moses paa Grund af Betændelsen, thi Betændelsen angreb Koglerne saavel som alle de andre Ægyptere.
And the magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boils were upon the magicians, and upon all the Egyptians.
12 Men HERREN forhærdede Faraos Hjerte, saa han ikke hørte paa dem, saaledes som HERREN havde sagt til Moses.
And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had spoken unto Moses.
13 Derpaa sagde HERREN til Moses: »Træd i Morgen tidlig frem for Farao og sig til ham: Saa siger HERREN, Hebræernes Gud: Lad mit Folk rejse, for at de kan dyrke mig!
And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and say unto him: Thus saith the LORD, the God of the Hebrews: Let My people go, that they may serve Me.
14 Thi denne Gang vil jeg sende alle mine Plager mod dig selv og mod dine Tjenere og dit Folk, for at du kan kende, at der er ingen som jeg paa hele Jorden.
For I will this time send all My plagues upon thy person, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people; that thou mayest know that there is none like Me in all the earth.
15 Thi ellers havde jeg nu udrakt min Haand for at ramme dig og dit Folk med Pest, saa du blev udryddet fra Jordens Overflade;
Surely now I had put forth My hand, and smitten thee and thy people with pestilence, and thou hadst been cut off from the earth.
16 dog derfor har jeg ladet dig blive i Live for at vise dig min Magt, og for at mit Navn kan blive forkyndt paa hele Jorden.
But in very deed for this cause have I made thee to stand, to show thee My power, and that My name may be declared throughout all the earth.
17 Endnu stiller du dig i Vejen for mit Folk og vil ikke lade det rejse.
As yet exaltest thou thyself against My people, that thou wilt not let them go?
18 Se, jeg lader i Morgen ved denne Tid et frygteligt Haglvejr bryde løs, hvis Lige ikke har været i Ægypten, fra den Dag det blev til og indtil nu.
Behold, tomorrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as hath not been in Egypt since the day it was founded even until now.
19 Derfor maa du sørge for at bringe dit Kvæg og alt, hvad du har paa Marken, i Sikkerhed! Thi alle Mennesker og Dyr, der befinder sig paa Marken og ikke er kommet under Tag, skal rammes af Haglen og omkomme.«
Now therefore send, hasten in thy cattle and all that thou hast in the field; for every man and beast that shall be found in the field, and shall not be brought home, the hail shall come down upon them, and they shall die.'
20 De blandt Faraos Tjenere, der frygtede HERRENS Ord, bragte nu deres Trælle og Kvæg under Tag;
He that feared the word of the LORD among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses;
21 men de, der ikke lagde sig HERRENS Ord paa Hjerte, lod deres Trælle og Kvæg blive ude paa Marken.
and he that regarded not the word of the LORD left his servants and his cattle in the field.
22 Da sagde HERREN til Moses: »Ræk din Haand op mod Himmelen, saa skal der falde Hagl i hele Ægypten paa Mennesker og Dyr og paa alle Markens Urter i Ægypten!«
And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Stretch forth thy hand toward heaven, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, upon man, and upon beast, and upon every herb of the field, throughout the land of Egypt.'
23 Da rakte Moses sin Stav op mod Himmelen, og HERREN sendte Torden og Hagl; Ild for ned mod Jorden, og HERREN lod Hagl falde over Ægypten;
And Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven; and the LORD sent thunder and hail, and fire ran down unto the earth; and the LORD caused to hail upon the land of Egypt.
24 og der kom et Haglvejr, med Ildsluer flammende mellem Haglen, saa voldsomt, at dets Lige aldrig havde været nogetsteds i Ægypten, siden det blev befolket;
So there was hail, and fire flashing up amidst the hail, very grievous, such as had not been in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.
25 og i hele Ægypten slog Haglen alt ned, hvad der var paa Marken, baade Mennesker og Kvæg, og alle Markens Urter slog Haglen ned, og alle Markens Træer knækkede den;
And the hail smote throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and beast; and the hail smote every herb of the field, and broke every tree of the field.
26 kun i Gosen, hvor Israeliterne boede, faldt der ikke Hagl.
Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, was there no hail.
27 Da sendte Farao Bud efter Moses og Aron og sagde til dem: »Denne Gang har jeg syndet; HERREN har Ret, og jeg og mit Folk har Uret;
And Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and said unto them: 'I have sinned this time; the LORD is righteous, and I and my people are wicked.
28 gaa i Forbøn hos HERREN, at det nu maa være nok med Guds Torden og Haglvejret, saa vil jeg lade eder rejse, og I skal ikke blive længer!«
Entreat the LORD, and let there be enough of these mighty thunderings and hail; and I will let you go, and ye shall stay no longer.'
29 Moses svarede ham: »Saa snart jeg kommer ud af Byen, skal jeg udbrede mine Hænder mod HERREN; saa skal Tordenen høre op, og Haglen skal ikke falde mere, for at du kan kende, at Jorden tilhører HERREN.
And Moses said unto him: 'As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will spread forth my hands unto the LORD; the thunders shall cease, neither shall there be any more hail; that thou mayest know that the earth is the LORD'S.
30 Dog, jeg ved, at du og dine Tjenere endnu ikke frygter for Gud HERREN.«
But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye will not yet fear the LORD God.' —
31 Hørren og Byggen blev slaaet ned, thi Byggen stod i Aks, og Hørren i Blomst;
And the flax and the barley were smitten; for the barley was in the ear, and the flax was in bloom.
32 derimod blev Hveden og Spelten ikke slaaet ned, thi de modnes senere.
But the wheat and the spelt were not smitten; for they ripen late. —
33 Da Moses var gaaet bort fra Farao og var kommet ud af Byen, udbredte han sine Hænder mod HERREN, og da hørte Tordenen og Haglen op, og Regnen strømmede ikke mere ned.
And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread forth his hands unto the LORD; and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured upon the earth.
34 Men da Farao saa, at Regnen, Haglen og Tordenen var hørt op, fremturede han i sin Synd, og han og hans Tjenere forhærdede deres Hjerte.
And when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders were ceased, he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he and his servants.
35 Faraos Hjerte blev forhærdet, saa at han ikke lod Israeliterne rejse, saaledes som HERREN havde sagt ved Moses.
And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the children of Israel go; as the LORD had spoken by Moses.
