Exodus 9
1 And Jehovah said to Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus saith 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 shalt retain them still,
你若不肯容他們去，仍舊強留他們，
3 behold, the hand of Jehovah shall be on thy cattle which is in the field, on the horses, on the asses, on the camels, on the oxen and on the sheep, with a very grievous plague.
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 will distinguish between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt; and there shall nothing die of all that the children of Israel have.
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, To-morrow will Jehovah 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 this thing on the following day, and all the cattle of Egypt died; but of the cattle of the children of Israel died not one.
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 one of the cattle of the Israelites dead. But the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, 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 yourselves handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses scatter it toward the heavens before the eyes 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 fine dust over all the land of Egypt, and shall become boils on man and on cattle, breaking out [with] blisters, throughout 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 toward the heavens; and it became boils [with] blisters breaking out on man and on cattle.
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 scribes could not stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boils were on the scribes, and on 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 made Pharaoh's heart stubborn, and he did not hearken to them, as Jehovah had told 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 set thyself before Pharaoh, and say to him, Thus saith 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 I will at this time send all my plagues to thy heart, and on thy bondmen, and on thy people; that thou mayest 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 shall I put forth my hand, and I will smite thee and thy people with pestilence; and thou shalt be 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 And for this very cause have I raised thee up, to shew thee my power; and that my name may be declared 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 Dost thou still exalt thyself against my people, that thou wilt not let them go?
你還向我的百姓自高，不容他們去嗎？
18 Behold, to-morrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as hath not been in Egypt since its foundation 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 And now send, [and] secure thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field: all the men and the cattle that are found in the field, and are not brought home — on them the hail shall come down, 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 that feared the word of Jehovah among the bondmen of Pharaoh made his bondmen 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 But he that did not regard the word of Jehovah left his bondmen 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 out thy hand toward the heavens, that there may be hail throughout the land of Egypt, upon men, and upon cattle, and upon every herb of the field in 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 out his staff toward the heavens, and Jehovah gave thunder and hail; and the fire ran along the ground; and Jehovah rained hail on 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 And there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as there had been none like it 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 the hail smote throughout the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both men and cattle; 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 children 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 Moses and Aaron, and said to them, I have sinned this time: Jehovah is the righteous [one], but I and my people are the wicked [ones].
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 Intreat Jehovah that it may be enough, that there be no more thunder of God 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, When I go out of the city, I will spread out my hands to Jehovah: the thunder will cease, and there will be no more hail; that thou mayest 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 to thee and thy bondmen, I know that ye do not yet fear Jehovah Elohim.
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 bolled.
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 spelt were not smitten; for they were not come out into ear.
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 out his hands to Jehovah; and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not [any more] poured on 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 Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders had ceased, and he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he, and his bondmen.
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 stubborn, neither would he let the children 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。
