Exodus 7
1 And Jehovah said to Moses, See, I have made thee God to Pharaoh; and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.
Og Herren sagde til Mose: Se, jeg har sat dig til en Gud for Farao og Aron, din Broder, skal være din Profet.
2 Thou shalt speak all that I command thee; and Aaron thy brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land.
Du skal tale alt det, som jeg vil befale dig; men Aron, din Broder, skal tale til Farao, at han skal lade Israels Børn drage ud af sit Land.
3 And I will render Pharaoh's heart obdurate, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.
Men jeg vil forhærde Faraos Hjerte og mangfoldiggøre mine Tegn og mine underlige Gerninger i Ægyptens Land.
4 And Pharaoh will not hearken unto you; and I will lay my hand upon Egypt, and bring forth my hosts, my people, the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments.
Og Farao skal ikke høre eder, og jeg vil lægge min Haand paa Ægypterne og udføre mine Hære, mit Folk, Israels Børn, af Ægyptens Land ved store Domme.
5 And the Egyptians shall know that I am Jehovah, when I stretch forth my hand on Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them.
Og Ægypterne skulle fornemme, at jeg er Herren, naar jeg udrækker min Haand over Ægypten og fører Israels Børn midt ud fra dem.
6 And Moses and Aaron did as Jehovah had commanded them: so did they.
Og Mose og Aron gjorde det; saasom Herren havde befalet dem, saa gjorde de.
7 And Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron was eighty-three years old, when they spoke to Pharaoh.
Og Mose var firsindstyve Aar gammel, og Aron tre og firsindstyve Aar gammel, da de talede til Farao.
8 And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
Og Herren sagde til Mose og til Aron, sigende:
9 When Pharaoh shall speak to you, saying, Do a miracle for yourselves, — then thou shalt say unto Aaron, Take thy staff and cast [it] before Pharaoh — it will become a serpent.
Naar Farao taler til eder sigende: Gører en underlig Gerning, da skal du sige til Aron: Tag din Stav og kast den for Faraos Ansigt: Den skal blive til en Slange.
10 And Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and did so, as Jehovah had commanded; and Aaron cast down his staff before Pharaoh, and before his bondmen, and it became a serpent.
Da kom Mose og Aron til Farao og gjorde saaledes, som Herren havde befalet, og Aron kastede sin Stav for Farao og for hans Tjenere, og den blev til en Slange.
11 And Pharaoh also called the sages and the sorcerers; and they too, the scribes of Egypt, did so with their enchantments:
Da kaldte ogsaa Farao ad de vise og Troldkarlene, men ogsaa disse, de ægyptiske Koglere, gjorde ligesaa med deres Besværgelser.
12 they cast down every man his staff, and they became serpents; but Aaron's staff swallowed up their staves.
Og de kastede hver sin Stav, og de bleve Slanger; men Arons Stav opslugte deres Stave.
13 And Pharaoh's heart was stubborn, and he hearkened not to them, as Jehovah had said.
Og Faraos Hjerte forhærdedes, at han hørte dem ikke, ligesom Herren havde sagt.
14 And Jehovah said to Moses, Pharaoh's heart is hardened: he refuseth to let the people go.
Og Herren sagde til Mose: Faraos Hjerte er haardt, han vægrer sig ved at lade Folket fare.
15 Go unto Pharaoh in the morning — behold, he will go out unto the water — and take thy stand by the bank of the river in front of him; and take in thy hand the staff that was turned into a serpent.
Gak til Farao aarle, se, han gaar ud til Vandet, og du skal træde frem mod ham ved Bredden af Floden; og din Stav, som var omvendt til en Slange, skal du tage i din Haand.
16 And say unto him, Jehovah the God of the Hebrews has sent me to thee, saying, Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness; but behold, hitherto thou hast not hearkened.
Og du skal sige til ham: Herren, Hebræernes Gud, har sendt mig til dig og sagt: Lad mit Folk fare, at de kunne tjene mig i Ørken, og se, du har ej villet høre hidindtil.
17 Thus saith Jehovah: In this shalt thou know that I am Jehovah — behold, I will smite with the staff that is in my hand upon the water which is in the river, and it shall be turned into blood.
Saa siger Herren: Af dette skal du fornemme, at jeg er Herren; se, jeg slaar med Staven, som jeg har i min Haand, paa Vandet, som er i Floden, og det skal omvendes til Blod.
18 And the fish that is in the river shall die; and the river shall stink; and the Egyptians shall loathe to drink the water out of the river.
Og Fiskene, som ere i Floden, skulle dø, og Floden skal lugte ilde, saa at Ægypterne skulle væmmes ved at drikke Vand af Floden.
19 And Jehovah said to Moses, Say unto Aaron, Take thy staff, and stretch out thy hand upon the waters of the Egyptians — upon their streams, upon their rivers, and upon their ponds, and upon all their reservoirs of water, that they may become blood; and there shall be blood throughout the land of Egypt, both in [vessels of] wood and in [vessels of] stone.
Og Herren sagde til Mose: Sig til Aron: Tag din Stav og ræk din Haand ud over Vandet i Ægypten, over deres Strømme, over deres Floder og over deres Søer og over alle deres Vandsamlinger, og de skulle vorde Blod, og der skal være Blod i hele Ægyptens Land, baade i Træ- og i Stenkarrene.
20 And Moses and Aaron did so, as Jehovah had commanded; and he lifted up the staff, and smote the waters that were in the river before the eyes of Pharaoh, and before the eyes of his bondmen; and all the waters that were in the river were turned into blood.
Og Mose og Aron gjorde saa, eftersom Herren havde befalet, og han opløftede Staven og slog Vandet, som var i Floden, for Faraos Øjne og for hans Tjeneres Øjne, og alt Vandet, som var i Floden, omvendtes til Blod.
21 And the fish that was in the river died; and the river stank, and the Egyptians could not drink the water of the river; and the blood was throughout the land of Egypt.
Og Fiskene, som vare i Floden, døde, og Floden lugtede ilde, saa at Ægypterne ikke kunde drikke Vand af Floden; og der blev Blod i hele Ægyptens Land.
22 And the scribes of Egypt did so with their sorceries; and Pharaoh's heart was stubborn, neither did he hearken to them, as Jehovah had said.
Og de ægyptiske Koglere gjorde ligesaa med deres Besværgelser; og Faraos Hjerte forhærdedes, at han hørte dem ikke, som Herren havde sagt.
23 And Pharaoh turned and went into his house, and took not this to heart either.
Og Farao vendte sig og gik til sit Hus og lagde end ikke dette paa sit Hjerte.
24 And all the Egyptians dug round about the river for water to drink; for they could not drink of the water of the river.
Men alle Ægypterne grove omkring Floden efter Vand at drikke; thi de kunde ikke drikke af Vandet i Floden.
25 And seven days were fulfilled, after Jehovah had smitten the river.
Og der forløb syv Dage, efter at Herren havde slaget Floden.
