< 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.
dixit autem Dominus ad Mosen ingredere ad Pharaonem et loquere ad eum haec dicit Dominus Deus Hebraeorum dimitte populum meum ut sacrificet mihi
2 If you refuse to let them go and keep holding onto them,
quod si adhuc rennuis et retines eos
3 I will punish you by bringing a very severe plague on your livestock—on your horses, donkeys, camels, herds, and flocks.
ecce manus mea erit super agros tuos et super equos et asinos et camelos et boves et oves pestis valde gravis
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.’
et faciet Dominus mirabile inter possessiones Israhel et possessiones Aegyptiorum ut nihil omnino intereat ex his quae pertinent ad filios Israhel
5 The Lord has set a time, saying, ‘Tomorrow this is what is going to happen here in the country.’”
constituitque Dominus tempus dicens cras faciet Dominus verbum istud in terra
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.
fecit ergo Dominus verbum hoc altero die mortuaque sunt omnia animantia Aegyptiorum de animalibus vero filiorum Israhel nihil omnino periit
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.
et misit Pharao ad videndum nec erat quicquam mortuum de his quae possidebat Israhel ingravatumque est cor Pharaonis et non dimisit populum
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.
et dixit Dominus ad Mosen et Aaron tollite plenas manus cineris de camino et spargat illud Moses in caelum coram Pharao
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.”
sitque pulvis super omnem terram Aegypti erunt enim in hominibus et in iumentis vulnera et vesicae turgentes in universa terra Aegypti
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.
tuleruntque cinerem de camino et steterunt contra Pharao et sparsit illud Moses in caelum factaque sunt vulnera vesicarum turgentium in hominibus et in iumentis
11 The magicians were unable to come and appear before Moses, because they and all the other Egyptians were covered in sores.
nec poterant malefici stare coram Mosen propter vulnera quae in illis erant et in omni terra Aegypti
12 But the Lord gave Pharaoh a stubborn attitude, and he would not listen to them, just as the Lord had told Moses.
induravitque Dominus cor Pharaonis et non audivit eos sicut locutus est Dominus ad Mosen
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.
dixit quoque Dominus ad Mosen mane consurge et sta coram Pharao et dices ad eum haec dicit Dominus Deus Hebraeorum dimitte populum meum ut sacrificet mihi
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.
quia in hac vice mittam omnes plagas meas super cor tuum super servos tuos et super populum tuum ut scias quod non sit similis mei in omni terra
15 By now I could have reached out to strike you and your people with a plague that would have completely destroyed you.
nunc enim extendens manum percutiam te et populum tuum peste peribisque de terra
16 However, I have let you live so you can see my power, and that my reputation may be spread throughout the earth.
idcirco autem posui te ut ostendam in te fortitudinem meam et narretur nomen meum in omni terra
17 But in your pride you are still tyrannizing my people, and refuse to let them leave.
adhuc retines populum meum et non vis eum dimittere
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.
en pluam hac ipsa hora cras grandinem multam nimis qualis non fuit in Aegypto a die qua fundata est usque in praesens tempus
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.’”
mitte ergo iam nunc et congrega iumenta tua et omnia quae habes in agro homines enim et iumenta et universa quae inventa fuerint foris nec congregata de agris cecideritque super ea grando morientur
20 Those of Pharaoh's officials who took seriously what the Lord said rushed to bring their servants and livestock inside.
qui timuit verbum Domini de servis Pharao fecit confugere servos suos et iumenta in domos
21 But those who didn't care what the Lord said left their servants and livestock outside.
qui autem neglexit sermonem Domini dimisit servos suos et iumenta in agris
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.”
et dixit Dominus ad Mosen extende manum tuam in caelum ut fiat grando in universa terra Aegypti super homines et super iumenta et super omnem herbam agri in terra Aegypti
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.
extenditque Moses virgam in caelum et Dominus dedit tonitrua et grandinem ac discurrentia fulgura super terram pluitque Dominus grandinem super terram Aegypti
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.
et grando et ignis inmixta pariter ferebantur tantaeque fuit magnitudinis quanta ante numquam apparuit in universa terra Aegypti ex quo gens illa condita est
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.
et percussit grando in omni terra Aegypti cuncta quae fuerunt in agris ab homine usque ad iumentum cunctam herbam agri percussit grando et omne lignum regionis confregit
26 Only in the land of Goshen where the Israelites lived was there no hail.
tantum in terra Gessen ubi erant filii Israhel grando non cecidit
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!
misitque Pharao et vocavit Mosen et Aaron dicens ad eos peccavi etiam nunc Dominus iustus ego et populus meus impii
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.”
orate Dominum et desinant tonitrua Dei et grando ut dimittam vos et nequaquam hic ultra maneatis
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.
ait Moses cum egressus fuero de urbe extendam palmas meas ad Dominum et cessabunt tonitrua et grando non erit ut scias quia Domini est terra
30 But I know you and your officials still do not really respect the Lord our God.”
novi autem quod et tu et servi tui necdum timeatis Dominum Deum
31 (The flax and barley were destroyed, because the barley was ripe and the flax was flowering.
linum ergo et hordeum laesum est eo quod hordeum esset virens et linum iam folliculos germinaret
32 However, the wheat and the spelt were not destroyed because they grow later.)
triticum autem et far non sunt laesa quia serotina erant
33 Moses left Pharaoh and went out of the city, and prayed to the Lord. The thunder and hail stopped, and the rainstorm finished.
egressusque Moses a Pharaone et ex urbe tetendit manus ad Dominum et cessaverunt tonitrua et grando nec ultra stillavit pluvia super terram
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.
videns autem Pharao quod cessasset pluvia et grando et tonitrua auxit peccatum
35 Because of his stubborn attitude, Pharaoh would not let the Israelites leave, just as the Lord had predicted through Moses.
et ingravatum est cor eius et servorum illius et induratum nimis nec dimisit filios Israhel sicut praeceperat Dominus per manum Mosi
