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!
And the Lord said to Moses, Go in to Pharao, and you shall say to him, These things says the Lord God of the Hebrews; Send my people away that they may serve me.
2 Men hvis du vægrer dig ved at lade dem rejse og bliver ved med at holde dem fast,
If however you will not send my people away, but yet detain them:
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 shall be upon your cattle in the fields, both on the horses, and on the asses, and on the camels and oxen and sheep, a very great mortality.
4 Og HERREN skal sætte Skel mellem Israels Kvæg og Ægypternes Kvæg, saa der ikke skal dø noget af, hvad der tilhører Israeliterne.«
And I will make a marvelous distinction in that time between the cattle of the Egyptians, and the cattle of the children of Israel: nothing shall die of all that is of the children's of Israel.
5 Og HERREN satte en Tidsfrist, idet han sagde: »I Morgen skal HERREN lade dette ske i Landet.«
And God fixed a limit, saying, To-morrow the Lord will do this thing on 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 this thing on the next day, and all the cattle of the Egyptians died, but of the cattle of the children of Israel there 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 when Pharao saw, that of all the cattle of the children of Israel there died not one, the heart of Pharao was hardened, 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 spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, Take you handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses scatter it toward heaven before Pharao, and before his servants.
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 let it become dust over all the land of Egypt, and there shall be upon men and upon beasts sore blains breaking forth both on men and on beasts, in 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.
So he took of the ashes of the furnace before Pharao, and Moses scattered it toward heaven, and it became sore blains breaking forth both on men and on beasts.
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 sorcerers could not stand before Moses because of the sores, for the sores were on the sorcerers, and in all the land of Egypt.
12 Men HERREN forhærdede Faraos Hjerte, saa han ikke hørte paa dem, saaledes som HERREN havde sagt til Moses.
And the Lord hardened Pharao's heart, and he listened not to them, as the Lord appointed.
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 to Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharao; and you shall say to him, These things says the Lord God of the Hebrews, Send away my people 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 at this present time do I send forth all my plagues into your heart, and the heart of your servants and of your people; that you may know that there is not another such as I 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;
For now I will stretch forth my hand and strike you and kill your people, and you shall be consumed from off 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.
And for this purpose have you been preserved, that I might display in you my strength, and that my name might bepublished in all the earth.
17 Endnu stiller du dig i Vejen for mit Folk og vil ikke lade det rejse.
Do you then yet exert yourself to hinder my people, so as not to 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, to-morrow at this hour I will rain a very great hail, such as has not been in Egypt, from the time it was created until this day.
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 then hasten to gather your cattle, and all that you have in the fields; for all the men and cattle as many as shall be found in the fields, and shall not enter into a house, (but the hail shall fall upon them, ) shall die.
20 De blandt Faraos Tjenere, der frygtede HERRENS Ord, bragte nu deres Trælle og Kvæg under Tag;
He of the servants of Pharao that feared the word of the Lord, gathered his cattle 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 did not attend in his mind to the word of the Lord, left the cattle in the fields.
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 to Moses, Stretch out your hand to heaven, and there shall be hail on all the land of Egypt, both on the men and on the cattle, and on all the herbage on the land.
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 hand to heaven, and the Lord sent thunderings and hail; and the fire ran along upon the ground, and the Lord rained hail on all 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 flaming fire mingled with hail; and the hail was very great, such as was not in Egypt, from the time there was a nation upon it.
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 struck in all the land of Egypt both man and beast, and the hail struck all the grass in the field, and the hail broke in pieces all the trees in the field.
26 kun i Gosen, hvor Israeliterne boede, faldt der ikke Hagl.
Only in the land of Gesem where the children of Israel were, the hail was not.
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 Pharao sent and called Moses and Aaron, and said to 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!«
Pray then for me to the Lord, and let him cause the thunderings of God to cease, and the hail and the fire, and I will send you forth and you shall remain 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 to him, When I shall have departed from the city, I will stretch out my hands to the Lord, and the thunderings shall cease, and the hail and the rain shall be no longer, that you may 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 you and your servants, I know that you have not yet feared the Lord.
31 Hørren og Byggen blev slaaet ned, thi Byggen stod i Aks, og Hørren i Blomst;
And the flax and the barley were struck, for the barley was advanced, and the flax was seeding.
32 derimod blev Hveden og Spelten ikke slaaet ned, thi de modnes senere.
But the wheat and the rye were not struck, for they were 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 forth from Pharao out of the city, and stretched out his hands to the Lord, and the thunders ceased and the hail, and the rain did not drop on 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 Pharao saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders ceased, he continued to sin; and [he] hardened his heart, and the heart of 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 Pharao was hardened, and he did not send forth the children of Israel, as the Lord said to Moses.
