< Exodus 10 >

1 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh, for I have hardened his heart and the hearts of his officials, that I may perform these miraculous signs of Mine among them,
Et dixit Dominus ad Moysen: Ingredere ad Pharaonem: ego enim induravi cor eius, et servorum illius: ut faciam signa mea haec in eo,
2 and that you may tell your children and grandchildren how severely I dealt with the Egyptians when I performed miraculous signs among them, so that all of you may know that I am the LORD.”
et narres in auribus filii tui, et nepotum tuorum, quoties contriverim Aegyptios, et signa mea fecerim in eis: et sciatis quia ego Dominus.
3 So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and told him, “This is what the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, says: ‘How long will you refuse to humble yourself before Me? Let My people go, so that they may worship Me.
Introierunt ergo Moyses et Aaron ad Pharaonem, et dixerunt ei: Haec dicit Dominus Deus Hebraeorum: Usquequo non vis subiici mihi? dimitte populum meum, ut sacrificet mihi.
4 But if you refuse to let My people go, I will bring locusts into your territory tomorrow.
Sin autem resistis, et non vis dimittere eum: ecce ego inducam cras locustam in fines tuos:
5 They will cover the face of the land so that no one can see it. They will devour whatever is left after the hail and eat every tree that grows in your fields.
quae operiet superficiem terrae, ne quidquam eius appareat, sed comedatur quod residuum fuerit grandini. corrodet enim omnia ligna quae germinant in agris.
6 They will fill your houses and the houses of all your officials and every Egyptian—something neither your fathers nor your grandfathers have seen since the day they came into this land.’” Then Moses turned and left Pharaoh’s presence.
Et implebunt domos tuas, et servorum tuorum, et omnium Aegyptiorum: quantam non viderunt patres tui, et avi, ex quo orti sunt super terram, usque in praesentem diem. Avertitque se, et egressus est a Pharaone.
7 Pharaoh’s officials asked him, “How long will this man be a snare to us? Let the people go, so that they may worship the LORD their God. Do you not yet realize that Egypt is in ruins?”
Dixerunt autem servi Pharaonis ad eum: Usquequo patiemur hoc scandalum: dimitte homines, ut sacrificent Domino Deo suo. nonne vides quod perierit Aegyptus?
8 So Moses and Aaron were brought back to Pharaoh. “Go, worship the LORD your God,” he said. “But who exactly will be going?”
Revocaveruntque Moysen, et Aaron ad Pharaonem: qui dixit eis: Ite, sacrificate Domino Deo vestro: quinam sunt qui ituri sunt?
9 “We will go with our young and old,” Moses replied. “We will go with our sons and daughters, and with our flocks and herds, for we must hold a feast to the LORD.”
Ait Moyses: Cum parvulis nostris, et senioribus pergemus, cum filiis et filiabus, cum ovibus et armentis: est enim sollemnitas Domini Dei nostri.
10 Then Pharaoh told them, “May the LORD be with you if I ever let you go with your little ones. Clearly you are bent on evil.
Et respondit Pharao: Sic Dominus sit vobiscum, quo modo ego dimittam vos, et parvulos vestros, cui dubium est quod pessime cogitetis?
11 No, only the men may go and worship the LORD, since that is what you have been requesting.” And Moses and Aaron were driven from Pharaoh’s presence.
Non fiet ita, sed ite tantum viri, et sacrificate Domino: hoc enim et ipsi petistis. Statimque eiecti sunt de conspectu Pharaonis.
12 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the land of Egypt, so that the locusts may swarm over it and devour every plant in the land—everything that the hail has left behind.”
Dixit autem Dominus ad Moysen: Extende manum tuam super Terram Aegypti ad locustam, ut ascendat super eam, et devoret omnem herbam quae residua fuerit grandini.
13 So Moses stretched out his staff over the land of Egypt, and throughout that day and night the LORD sent an east wind across the land. By morning the east wind had brought the locusts.
Et extendit Moyses virgam super terram Aegypti: et Dominus induxit ventum urentem tota die illa, et nocte: et mane facto, ventus urens levavit locustas.
14 The locusts swarmed across the land and settled over the entire territory of Egypt. Never before had there been so many locusts, and never again will there be.
Quae ascenderunt super universam Terram Aegypti: et sederunt in cunctis finibus Aegyptiorum innumerabiles, quales ante illud tempus non fuerant, nec postea futurae sunt.
15 They covered the face of all the land until it was black, and they consumed all the plants on the ground and all the fruit on the trees that the hail had left behind. Nothing green was left on any tree or plant in all the land of Egypt.
Operueruntque universam superficiem terrae, vastantes omnia. Devorata est igitur herba terrae, et quidquid pomorum in arboribus fuit, quae grando dimiserat: nihilque omnino virens relictum est in lignis, et in herbis terrae, in cuncta Aegypto.
16 Pharaoh quickly summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “I have sinned against the LORD your God and against you.
Quam ob rem festinus Pharao vocavit Moysen et Aaron, et dixit eis: Peccavi in Dominum Deum vestrum, et in vos.
17 Now please forgive my sin once more and appeal to the LORD your God, that He may remove this death from me.”
Sed nunc dimittite peccatum mihi etiam hac vice, et rogate Dominum Deum vestrum, ut auferat a me mortem istam.
18 So Moses left Pharaoh’s presence and appealed to the LORD.
Egressusque Moyses de conspectu Pharaonis, oravit Dominum.
19 And the LORD changed the wind to a very strong west wind that carried off the locusts and blew them into the Red Sea. Not a single locust remained anywhere in Egypt.
Qui flare fecit ventum ab occidente vehementissimum, et arreptam locustam proiecit in Mare rubrum: non remansit ne una quidem in cunctis finibus Aegypti.
20 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he would not let the Israelites go.
Et induravit Dominus cor Pharaonis, nec dimisit filios Israel.
21 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward heaven, so that darkness may spread over the land of Egypt—a palpable darkness.”
Dixit autem Dominus ad Moysen: Extende manum tuam in caelum: et sint tenebrae super Terram Aegypti tam densae, ut palpari queant.
22 So Moses stretched out his hand toward heaven, and total darkness covered all the land of Egypt for three days.
Extenditque Moyses manum in caelum: et factae sunt tenebrae horribiles in universa Terra Aegypti tribus diebus.
23 No one could see anyone else, and for three days no one left his place. Yet all the Israelites had light in their dwellings.
Nemo vidit fratrem suum, nec movit se de loco in quo erat: ubicumque autem habitabant filii Israel, lux erat.
24 Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and said, “Go, worship the LORD. Even your little ones may go with you; only your flocks and herds must stay behind.”
Vocavitque Pharao Moysen et Aaron, et dixit eis: Ite, sacrificate Domino: oves tantum vestrae, et armenta remaneant, parvuli vestri eant vobiscum.
25 But Moses replied, “You must also provide us with sacrifices and burnt offerings to present to the LORD our God.
Ait Moyses: Hostias quoque et holocausta dabis nobis, quae offeramus Domino Deo nostro.
26 Even our livestock must go with us; not a hoof will be left behind, for we will need some of them to worship the LORD our God, and we will not know how we are to worship the LORD until we arrive.”
Cuncti greges pergent nobiscum: non remanebit ex eis ungula: quae necessaria sunt in cultum Domini Dei nostri: praesertim cum ignoremus quid debeat immolari, donec ad ipsum locum perveniamus.
27 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he was unwilling to let them go.
Induravit autem Dominus cor Pharaonis, et noluit dimittere eos.
28 “Depart from me!” Pharaoh said to Moses. “Make sure you never see my face again, for on the day you see my face, you will die.”
Dixitque Pharao ad Moysen: Recede a me, et cave ne ultra videas faciem meam: quocumque die apparueris mihi, morieris.
29 “As you say,” Moses replied, “I will never see your face again.”
Respondit Moyses: Ita fiet ut locutus es, non videbo ultra faciem tuam.
