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 Yahweh said to Moses, “Go in to Pharaoh, and tell him, ‘This is what Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews, says: “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 you refuse to let them go, and 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, Yahweh’s hand is on your livestock which are in the field, on the horses, on the donkeys, on the camels, on the herds, and on the flocks with a very grievous pestilence.
4 Og HERREN skal sætte Skel mellem Israels Kvæg og Ægypternes Kvæg, saa der ikke skal dø noget af, hvad der tilhører Israeliterne.«
Yahweh will make a distinction between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt; and nothing shall die of all that belongs to the children of Israel.”’”
5 Og HERREN satte en Tidsfrist, idet han sagde: »I Morgen skal HERREN lade dette ske i Landet.«
Yahweh appointed a set time, saying, “Tomorrow Yahweh 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.
Yahweh did that thing on the next day; and all the livestock of Egypt died, but of the livestock of the children of Israel, not one died.
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.
Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there was not so much as one of the livestock of the Israelites dead. But the heart of Pharaoh was stubborn, and he didn’t 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!
Yahweh said to Moses and to Aaron, “Take handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it toward the sky 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!«
It shall become small dust over all the land of Egypt, and shall be boils and blisters breaking out on man and on animal, 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.
They took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it up toward the sky; and it became boils and blisters breaking out on man and on animal.
11 Og Koglerne kunde ikke holde Stand over for Moses paa Grund af Betændelsen, thi Betændelsen angreb Koglerne saavel som alle de andre Ægyptere.
The magicians couldn’t stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boils were on the magicians and on all the Egyptians.
12 Men HERREN forhærdede Faraos Hjerte, saa han ikke hørte paa dem, saaledes som HERREN havde sagt til Moses.
Yahweh hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he didn’t listen to them, as Yahweh had spoken to 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!
Yahweh said to Moses, “Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and tell him, ‘This is what Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews, says: “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 this time I will send all my plagues against your heart, against your officials, and against your people; that you may know that there is no one 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;
For now I would have stretched out my hand, and struck you and your people with pestilence, and you would have 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 indeed for this cause I have made you stand: to show you 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.
because you still exalt yourself against my people, that you won’t 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 has 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 command that all of your livestock and all that you have in the field be brought into shelter. The hail will come down on every man and animal that is found in the field, and isn’t brought home, and they will die.”’”
20 De blandt Faraos Tjenere, der frygtede HERRENS Ord, bragte nu deres Trælle og Kvæg under Tag;
Those who feared Yahweh’s word among the servants of Pharaoh made their servants and their livestock flee into the houses.
21 men de, der ikke lagde sig HERRENS Ord paa Hjerte, lod deres Trælle og Kvæg blive ude paa Marken.
Whoever didn’t respect Yahweh’s word left his servants and his livestock 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!«
Yahweh said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward the sky, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, on man, and on animal, and on 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;
Moses stretched out his rod toward the heavens, and Yahweh sent thunder and hail; and lightning flashed down to the earth. Yahweh rained hail on 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 very severe hail, and lightning mixed with the hail, 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;
The hail struck throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and animal; and the hail struck 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, there was 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;
Pharaoh sent and called for Moses and Aaron, and said to them, “I have sinned this time. Yahweh 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 to Yahweh; for there has been enough of mighty thunderings and hail. I will let you go, and you 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.
Moses said to him, “As soon as I have gone out of the city, I will spread out my hands to Yahweh. The thunders shall cease, and there will not be any more hail; that you may know that the earth is Yahweh’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 don’t yet fear Yahweh God.”
31 Hørren og Byggen blev slaaet ned, thi Byggen stod i Aks, og Hørren i Blomst;
The flax and the barley were struck, for the barley had ripened and the flax was blooming.
32 derimod blev Hveden og Spelten ikke slaaet ned, thi de modnes senere.
But the wheat and the spelt were not struck, for they had not grown up.
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.
Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread out his hands to Yahweh; and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured 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.
When Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders had 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.
The heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he didn’t let the children of Israel go, just as Yahweh had spoken through Moses.
