Exodus 9
1 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.
耶和華吩咐摩西說：「你進去見法老，對他說：『耶和華－希伯來人的上帝這樣說：容我的百姓去，好事奉我。
2 For if thou refuse to let them go, and will still hold them,
你若不肯容他們去，仍舊強留他們，
3 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.
耶和華的手加在你田間的牲畜上，就是在馬、驢、駱駝、牛群、羊群上，必有重重的瘟疫。
4 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.
耶和華要分別以色列的牲畜和埃及的牲畜，凡屬以色列人的，一樣都不死。』」
5 And Jehovah appointed a set time, saying, Tomorrow Jehovah shall do this thing in the land.
耶和華就定了時候，說：「明天耶和華必在此地行這事。」
6 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.
第二天，耶和華就行這事。埃及的牲畜幾乎都死了，只是以色列人的牲畜，一個都沒有死。
7 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.
法老打發人去看，誰知以色列人的牲畜連一個都沒有死。法老的心卻是固執，不容百姓去。
8 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.
耶和華吩咐摩西、亞倫說：「你們取幾捧爐灰，摩西要在法老面前向天揚起來。
9 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.
這灰要在埃及全地變作塵土，在人身上和牲畜身上成了起泡的瘡。」
10 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.
摩西、亞倫取了爐灰，站在法老面前。摩西向天揚起來，就在人身上和牲畜身上成了起泡的瘡。
11 And the magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils, for the boils were upon the magicians, and upon all the Egyptians.
行法術的在摩西面前站立不住，因為在他們身上和一切埃及人身上都有這瘡。
12 And Jehovah hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he did not hearken to them, as Jehovah had spoken to Moses.
耶和華使法老的心剛硬，不聽他們，正如耶和華對摩西所說的。
13 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.
耶和華對摩西說：「你清早起來，站在法老面前，對他說：『耶和華－希伯來人的上帝這樣說：容我的百姓去，好事奉我。
14 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.
因為這一次我要叫一切的災殃臨到你和你臣僕並你百姓的身上，叫你知道在普天下沒有像我的。
15 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.
我若伸手用瘟疫攻擊你和你的百姓，你早就從地上除滅了。
16 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.
其實，我叫你存立，是特要向你顯我的大能，並要使我的名傳遍天下。
17 As yet thou exalt thyself against my people, that thou will not let them go?
你還向我的百姓自高，不容他們去嗎？
18 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.
到明天約在這時候，我必叫重大的冰雹降下，自從埃及開國以來，沒有這樣的冰雹。
19 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.
現在你要打發人把你的牲畜和你田間一切所有的催進來；凡在田間不收回家的，無論是人是牲畜，冰雹必降在他們身上，他們就必死。』」
20 He who feared the word of Jehovah among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses.
法老的臣僕中，懼怕耶和華這話的，便叫他的奴僕和牲畜跑進家來。
21 And he who did not regard the word of Jehovah left his servants and his cattle in the field.
但那不把耶和華這話放在心上的，就將他的奴僕和牲畜留在田裏。
22 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.
耶和華對摩西說：「你向天伸杖，使埃及遍地的人身上和牲畜身上，並田間各樣菜蔬上，都有冰雹。」
23 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.
摩西向天伸杖，耶和華就打雷下雹，有火閃到地上；耶和華下雹在埃及地上。
24 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.
那時，雹與火攙雜，甚是厲害，自從埃及成國以來，遍地沒有這樣的。
25 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.
在埃及遍地，雹擊打了田間所有的人和牲畜，並一切的菜蔬，又打壞田間一切的樹木。
26 Only in the land of Goshen, where the sons of Israel were, was there no hail.
惟獨以色列人所住的歌珊地沒有冰雹。
27 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.
法老打發人召摩西、亞倫來，對他們說：「這一次我犯了罪了。耶和華是公義的；我和我的百姓是邪惡的。
28 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.
這雷轟和冰雹已經夠了。請你們求耶和華，我就容你們去，不再留住你們。」
29 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.
摩西對他說：「我一出城，就要向耶和華舉手禱告；雷必止住，也不再有冰雹，叫你知道全地都是屬耶和華的。
30 But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye will not yet fear Jehovah God.
至於你和你的臣僕，我知道你們還是不懼怕耶和華上帝。」（
31 And the flax and the barley were smitten, for the barley was in the ear, and the flax was in bloom.
那時，麻和大麥被雹擊打；因為大麥已經吐穗，麻也開了花。
32 But the wheat and the rye were not smitten, for they were not grown up.
只是小麥和粗麥沒有被擊打，因為還沒有長成。）
33 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.
摩西離了法老出城，向耶和華舉手禱告；雷和雹就止住，雨也不再澆在地上了。
34 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.
法老見雨和雹與雷止住，就越發犯罪；他和他的臣僕都硬着心。
35 And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the sons of Israel go, as Jehovah had spoken by Moses.
法老的心剛硬，不容以色列人去，正如耶和華藉着摩西所說的。
