Exodus 9
1 The Lord told Moses, “Go and speak to Pharaoh. Tell him, ‘This is what the Lord says: Let my people go, so that they can worship me.
Og Herren sagde til Mose: Gak til Farao, og du skal sige til ham: Saa siger Herren, Hebræernes Gud: Lad mit Folk fare, at de kunne tjene mig.
2 If you refuse to let them go and keep holding onto them,
Thi dersom du vægrer dig ved at lade dem fare, og du fremdeles holder paa dem,
3 I will punish you by bringing a very severe plague on your livestock—on your horses, donkeys, camels, herds, and flocks.
se, da skal Herrens Haand komme over dit Kvæg, som er paa Marken, over Heste, over Asener, over Kameler, over Øksne og over smaat Kvæg, en saare svar Pest.
4 But the Lord will distinguish between the livestock of the Israelites and the Egyptians, so that none of those belonging to the Israelites will die.’
Og Herren skal gøre Skilsmisse imellem Israels Kvæg og imellem Ægypternes Kvæg, og der skal intet dø af alt det, Israels Børn have.
5 The Lord has set a time, saying, ‘Tomorrow this is what is going to happen here in the country.’”
Og Herren satte en bestemt Tid og sagde: I Morgen skal Herren gøre denne Gerning i Landet.
6 The following day the Lord did what he had said. All the Egyptians' livestock died, but not a single animal belonging to the Israelites died.
Og Herren gjorde denne Gerning den næste Dag, og alt Ægypternes Kvæg døde; men der døde ikke eet Stykke af Israels Børns Kvæg.
7 Pharaoh sent out officials and discovered that not a single one of the Israelites' livestock had died. But Pharaoh was stubborn, and he would not let the people leave.
Og Farao sendte Bud, og se, end ikke eet Stykke var død af Israels Kvæg; men Faraos Hjerte forhærdedes, og han lod ikke Folket fare.
8 The Lord told Moses and Aaron, “Go and get some handfuls of soot from a furnace. Then have Moses throw it into the air in front of Pharaoh.
Da sagde Herren til Mose og til Aron: Tager eders Næver fulde af Aske fra Ovnen, og Mose skal slaa den ud mod Himmelen for Faraos Øjne.
9 It will spread like fine dust over the whole country of Egypt, and open sores will break out on people and animals throughout the land.”
Og den skal vorde til Støv over alt Ægyptens Land, og det skal vorde til Bylder, som skal bryde ud med Blegner, paa Folket og paa Kvæget i alt Ægyptens Land.
10 They got soot from a furnace, and went to see Pharaoh. Moses threw it into the air, and open sores broke out on people and animals.
Saa toge de Aske fra Ovnen og stode for Farao, og Mose slog den ud mod Himmelen; og der blev Bylder, som brød ud med Blegner, paa Folket og paa Kvæget.
11 The magicians were unable to come and appear before Moses, because they and all the other Egyptians were covered in sores.
Og Koglerne kunde ikke bestaa for Mose, formedelst Bylderne; thi der var Bylder paa Koglerne og paa alle Ægyptere.
12 But the Lord gave Pharaoh a stubborn attitude, and he would not listen to them, just as the Lord had told Moses.
Men Herren forhærdede Faraos Hjerte, saa at han ikke hørte dem, som Herren havde sagt til Mose.
13 The Lord told Moses, “Tomorrow morning get up early and go to Pharaoh, and tell him that this is what the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, says: ‘Let my people go, so that they can worship me.
Da sagde Herren til Mose: Staa aarle op om Morgenen og stil dig for Farao og sig til ham: Saa siger Herren, Hebræernes Gud: Lad mit Folk fare, at de kunne tjene mig.
14 This time I will direct all my plagues against you and your officials and your people, so you will realize that there is no one like me in all the earth.
Thi denne Gang vil jeg sende alle mine Plager, saa det gaar dig til Hjerte, baade paa dine Tjenere og paa dit Folk, at du skal fornemme, at der er ingen som jeg paa al Jorden.
15 By now I could have reached out to strike you and your people with a plague that would have completely destroyed you.
Thi havde jeg allerede udrakt min Haand og slaget dig og dit Folk med Pest, da havde du været udslettet af Jorden;
16 However, I have let you live so you can see my power, and that my reputation may be spread throughout the earth.
men sandelig derfor har jeg ladet dig blive staaende, for at lade dig se min Magt, og for at mit Navn skal kundgøres i alle Lande.
17 But in your pride you are still tyrannizing my people, and refuse to let them leave.
Ophøjer du dig endnu over mit Folk, saa at du ikke vil lade dem fare?
18 So watch out! About this time tomorrow I will send down the worst hailstorm that has ever fallen on Egypt, from the beginning of its history until now.
Se, jeg vil i Morgen paa denne Tid lade regne en saare svar Hagel, hvis Lige var aldrig før i Ægypten fra den Dag, det blev grundfæstet og hidindtil.
19 So order your livestock and everything you have in the field to be brought inside. Every person and every animal that stays outside and is not brought inside will die when the hail falls on them.’”
Saa send nu hen, saml dit Kvæg og alt det, du har paa Marken; thi alle Mennesker og alt Kvæg, som findes paa Marken og ikke ere samlede i Hus, og som Hagelen slaar ned paa, skulle dø.
20 Those of Pharaoh's officials who took seriously what the Lord said rushed to bring their servants and livestock inside.
Hvo som da frygtede Herrens Ord blandt Faraos Tjenere, han lod sine Tjenere og sit Kvæg fly til Husene;
21 But those who didn't care what the Lord said left their servants and livestock outside.
men hvo som ikke lagde Herrens Ord paa sit Hjerte, lod sine Tjenere og sit Kvæg blive paa Marken.
22 The Lord told Moses, “Lift your hand towards the sky so that a hailstorm will fall over the whole of Egypt, on people and on animals, and on everything growing in the fields of Egypt.”
Da sagde Herren til Mose: Ræk din Haand op mod Himmelen, og der skal vorde Hagel over hele Ægyptens Land, over Mennesker og over Kvæg og over alle Urter paa Marken i Ægyptens Land.
23 Moses held up his staff toward heaven, and the Lord sent thunder and hail, and made lightning hit the ground. This is how the Lord rained hail down on Egypt.
Og Mose rakte sin Stav op mod Himmelen, og Herren lod tordne og hagle, og der for Ild ned paa Jorden; og Herren lod regne Hagel over Ægyptens Land.
24 As the hail fell it was accompanied by lightning flashing back and forth. The hail that fell was so severe that nothing like it had ever been seen in the whole of Egypt since the beginning of its history.
Og der blev Hagel og Ild, som slyngede sig midt i Hagelen, saare svar, saadan som ikke havde været i hele Ægyptens Land, fra den Tid det havde været et Folks Land.
25 All across Egypt hail hit everything in the fields, both people and animals. It knocked down everything growing in the fields, and stripped every tree bare.
Og Hagelen nedslog i hele Ægyptens Land det, som var paa Marken, baade Mennesker og Kvæg; og alle Urter paa Marken slog Hagelen og knækkede alle Træer paa Marken.
26 Only in the land of Goshen where the Israelites lived was there no hail.
Alene i Gosen Land, hvor Israels Børn vare, faldt der ikke Hagel.
27 Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron and told them, “I admit that I sinned this time! The Lord is right, and I and my people are wrong!
Da sendte Farao hen og lod kalde ad Mose og Aron og sagde til dem: Jeg har syndet denne Gang; Herren er den retfærdige, men jeg og mit Folk ere de ugudelige.
28 Pray to the Lord for us, because there's been more than enough of God's thunder and hail. I will let you leave. You don't need to stay here any longer.”
Beder til Herren, at det maa være nok med den Guds Torden og Hagel, saa vil jeg lade eder fare, at I ikke skulle bie længere.
29 “Once I've left the city, I will pray to the Lord for you,” Moses told him. “The thunder will stop, and there'll be no more hail, so that you will realize that the earth belongs to the Lord.
Og Mose sagde til ham: Naar jeg kommer ud af Staden, da vil jeg udbrede mine Hænder til Herren, saa skal Tordenen høre op, og Hagelen skal ikke falde mere, at du skal fornemme, at Jorden hører Herren til.
30 But I know you and your officials still do not really respect the Lord our God.”
Dog om dig og dine Tjenere ved jeg, at I endnu ikke frygte for den Herre Guds Ansigt.
31 (The flax and barley were destroyed, because the barley was ripe and the flax was flowering.
Da blev baade Hør og Byg nedslaget; thi Bygget var skudt i Aks og Hørren i Knevler.
32 However, the wheat and the spelt were not destroyed because they grow later.)
Men Hveden og Spelten bleve ikke nedslagne; thi de vare endnu ikke skredne.
33 Moses left Pharaoh and went out of the city, and prayed to the Lord. The thunder and hail stopped, and the rainstorm finished.
Og Mose gik fra Farao ud af Staden og udbredte sine Hænder til Herren; saa lod det af at tordne og hagle, og Regnen blev ikke mere udøst paa Jorden.
34 When Pharaoh saw that the rain and hail and thunder had stopped, he sinned again, and he chose to become stubborn again, along with his officials.
Der Farao saa, at det holdt op at regne og hagle og tordne, da syndede han endda; og han forhærdede sit Hjerte, han og hans Tjenere.
35 Because of his stubborn attitude, Pharaoh would not let the Israelites leave, just as the Lord had predicted through Moses.
Saa blev Faraos Hjerte forhærdet, og han lod ikke Israels Børn fare, som Herren havde sagt ved Mose.
