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 YHWH says to Moses, “See, I have given you [as] a god to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron is your prophet;
2 Du skal sige til ham alt, hvad jeg pålægger dig, men din Broder Aron skal sige det til Farao, for at han skal lade Israeliterne rejse ud af sit Land.
you speak all that I command you, and your brother Aaron speaks to Pharaoh, and he has 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 på eder, men jeg vil lægge min Hånd på Ægypten og føre mine Hærskarer, mit Folk Israeliterne, ud af Ægypten med vældige Straffedomme;
and Pharaoh does not listen, 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 når jeg udrækker min Hånd mod Ægypten og fører Israeliterne ud derfra, skal Ægypterne kende, at jeg er HERREN."
and the Egyptians have known that I [am] YHWH, 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 pålagde dem.
And Moses does—Aaron also—as YHWH commanded them; so have they done;
7 Moses var firsindstyve og Aron tre og firsindstyve År gammel, da de talte til Farao.
and Moses [is] a son of eighty years, and Aaron [is] a son of eighty-three years, in their speaking to Pharaoh.
8 Og HERREN talede til Moses og Aron og sagde:
And YHWH speaks to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
9 "Når Farao kræver et Under af eder, sig så til Aron: Tag din Stav og kast den ned foran Farao, så skal den blive til en Slange!"
“When Pharaoh speaks to you, saying, Give a wonder for yourselves; then you have said to Aaron, Take your rod and cast [it] before Pharaoh—it becomes a dragon.”
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 goes in—Aaron also—to Pharaoh, and they do so as YHWH has commanded; and Aaron casts his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it becomes a dragon.
11 Men Farao lod som Modtræk Vismændene og Besværgerne kalde, og de, Ægyptens Koglere, gjorde også det samme ved Hjælp af deres hemmelige Kunster;
And Pharaoh also calls for wise men and for sorcerers; and the enchanters of Egypt, they also, with their [enchanting] flames, do so,
12 de kastede hver sin Stav, og Stavene blev til Slanger, men Arons Stav opslugte deres Stave.
and they each cast down his rod, and they become dragons, and the rod of Aaron swallows their rods;
13 Men Faraos Hjerte blev forhærdet, og han hørte ikke på dem, således som HERREN havde sagt.
and the heart of Pharaoh is strong, and he has not listened to them, as YHWH has spoken.
14 HERREN sagde nu til Moses: "Faraos Hjerte er forstokket, han vægrer sig ved at lade Folket rejse.
And YHWH says to Moses, “The heart of Pharaoh has been hard, he has refused to send the people away;
15 Gå derfor i Morgen tidlig til Farao, når han begiver sig ned til Vandet, og træd frem for ham ved Nilens Bred og tag Staven, der forvandledes til en Slange, i Hånden
go to Pharaoh in the morning, behold, he is going out to the water, and you have stood to meet him by the edge of the River, and the rod which was turned to a serpent you take in your 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 you have said to him: YHWH, God of the Hebrews, has sent me to you, saying, Send My people away, and they serve Me in the wilderness; and behold, you have not listened until now.
17 Så siger HERREN: Deraf skal du kende, at jeg er HERREN: Se, jeg slår Vandet i Nilen med Staven, som jeg holder i min Hånd, og det skal forvandles til Blod,
Thus said YHWH: By this you know that I [am] YHWH; behold, I am striking 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 has stunk, 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 Hånd ud over Ægypternes Vande, deres Floder, Kanaler, Damme og alle Vandsamlinger, så skal Vandet blive til Blod, og der skal være Blod i hele Ægypten, både i Trækar og Stenkar."
And YHWH says to Moses, “Say to Aaron, Take your rod, and stretch out your 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 has 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 YHWH has commanded, and he lifts up [his hand] with the rod, and strikes 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, så Ægypterne ikke kunde drikke Vand fra Nilen, og der var Blod i hele Ægypten.
and the fish which [is] in the River has died, and the River stinks, 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, så han ikke hørte på dem, således som HERREN havde sagt.
And the enchanters of Egypt do so with their secrets, and the heart of Pharaoh is strong, and he has not listened to them, as YHWH has spoken,
23 Da vendte Farao sig bort og gik hjem, og heller ikke dette lagde han sig på Sinde.
and Pharaoh turns and goes into his house, and has 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 all around the River to drink, for they have not been able to drink of the waters of the River.
25 Og således gik der syv Dage, efter at HERREN havde slået Nilen.
And seven days are completed after YHWH’s striking the River.
