2 Mosebog 9
1 Derpå sagde HERREN til Moses: "Gå til Farao og sig til ham: Så siger HERREN, Hebræernes Gud: Lad mit Folk rejse, for at de kan dyrke mig!
Then Jehovah said to Moses, Go in to Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus says Jehovah, 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 will still hold them,
3 se, da skal HERRENs Hånd komme over dit Kvæg på Marken, over Hestene, Æslerne og Kamelerne, Hornkvæget og Småkvæget med en såre forfærdelig Pest.
behold, the hand of Jehovah is upon thy cattle which are in the field, upon the horses, upon the donkeys, upon the camels, upon the herds, and upon the flocks-a very grievous pestilence.
4 Og HERREN skal sætte Skel mellem Israels Kvæget og Ægypterens Kvæg, så der ikke skal dø noget af, hvad der tilhører Israeliterne."
And Jehovah shall make a distinction between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt, and there shall nothing die of all that belongs to the sons of Israel.
5 Og HERREN satte en Tidsfrist, idet han sagde: "I Morgen skal HERREN lade dette ske i Landet."
And Jehovah appointed a set time, saying, Tomorrow Jehovah shall do this thing in the land.
6 Den følgende Dag lod HERREN det så ske, og alt Ægypternes Kvæg døde, men af Israeliternes Kvæg døde ikke et eneste Dyr.
And Jehovah did that thing on the morrow, and all the cattle of Egypt died, but of the cattle of the sons 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.
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 Derpå sagde HERREN til Moses og Aron: "Tag begge eders Hænder fulde af Sod fra Smelteovnen, og Moses skal kaste det i Vejret i Faraos Påsyn!
And Jehovah said to Moses and to Aaron, Take to you handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it toward heaven in the sight of Pharaoh.
9 Så skal det blive til en Støvsky over hele Ægypten og til Betændelse, der bryder ud i Bylder på 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 sores upon man and upon beast, throughout all the land of Egypt.
10 Da tog de Sod fra Smelteovnen og trådte frem for Farao, og Moses kastede det i Vejret; og det blev til Betændelse, der brød ud i Bylder på Mennesker og Kvæg.
And they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh, and Moses sprinkled it up toward heaven, and it became a boil breaking forth with sores upon man and upon beast.
11 Og Koglerne kunde ikke holde Stand over for Moses på Grund af Betændelsen, thi Betændelsen angreb Koglerne såvel 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, så han ikke hørte på dem, således som HERREN havde sagt til Moses.
And Jehovah hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he did not hearken to them, as Jehovah had spoken to Moses.
13 Derpå sagde HERREN til Moses: "Træd i Morgen tidlig frem for Farao og sig til ham: Så siger HERREN, Hebræernes Gud: Lad mit Folk rejse, for at de kan dyrke mig!
And Jehovah said to Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and say to him, Thus says Jehovah, 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 på hele Jorden.
For this time I will send all my plagues upon thy heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people, that thou may know that there is none like me in all the earth.
15 Thi ellers havde jeg nu udrakt min Hånd for at ramme dig og dit Folk med Pest, så du blev udryddet fra Jordens Overflade;
For now I have put forth my hand, and smitten thee and thy people with pestilence, and thou 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 på hele Jorden.
But indeed for this cause I have raised thee up, to display in thee my power, and that my name may be proclaimed in all the earth.
17 Endnu stiller du dig i Vejen for mit Folk og vil ikke lade det rejse.
As yet thou exalt thyself against my people, that thou will 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 has not been in Egypt since the day it was founded even until now.
19 Derfor må du sørge for at bringe dit Kvæg og alt, hvad du har på Marken, i Sikkerhed! Thi alle Mennesker og Dyr, der befinder sig på Marken og ikke er kommet under Tag, skal rammes af Haglen og omkomme."
Now therefore send, hasten in thy cattle and all that thou have 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 who feared the word of Jehovah among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses.
21 men de, der ikke lagde sig HERRENs Ord på Hjerte, lod deres Trælle og Kvæg blive ude på Marken.
And he who did not regard the word of Jehovah left his servants and his cattle in the field.
22 Da sagde HERREN til Moses: "Ræk din Hånd op mod Himmelen, så skal der falde Hagl i hele Ægypten på Mennesker og Dyr og på alle Markens Urter i Ægypten!"
And Jehovah said to 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 Jehovah sent thunder and hail, and fire ran down to the earth, and Jehovah rained hail upon the land of Egypt.
24 og der kom et Haglvejr, med Ildsluer flammende mellem Haglen, så voldsomt, at dets Lige aldrig havde været nogetsteds i Ægypten, siden det blev befolket;
So there was hail, and fire mingled with 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 på Marken, både Mennesker og Kvæg, og alle Markens Urter slog Haglen ned, og alle Markens Træer knækkede den;
And throughout all the land of Egypt the hail smote 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 sons 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 to them, I have sinned this time. Jehovah is righteous, and I and my people are wicked.
28 gå i Forbøn hos HERREN, at det nu må være nok med Guds Torden og Haglvejret, så vil jeg lade eder rejse, og I skal ikke blive længer!"
Entreat Jehovah, for there has been enough of these mighty thunderings and hail, and I will let you go, and ye shall stay no longer.
29 Moses svarede ham: "Så snart jeg kommer ud af Byen, skal jeg udbrede mine Hænder mod HERREN; så skal Tordenen høre op, og Haglen skal ikke falde mere, for at du kan kende, at Jorden tilhører HERREN."
And Moses said to him, As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will spread abroad my hands to Jehovah. The thunders shall cease, neither shall there be any more hail, that thou may know that the earth is Jehovah'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 Jehovah God.
31 Hørren og Byggen blev slået 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 slået ned, thi de modnes senere.
But the wheat and the rye were not smitten, for they were not grown up.
33 Da Moses var gået 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 abroad his hands to Jehovah, and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured upon the earth.
34 Men da Farao så, 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, så at han ikke lod Israeliterne rejse, således som HERREN havde sagt ved Moses.
And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the sons of Israel go, as Jehovah had spoken by Moses.
