Exodus 10
1 Againe the Lord saide vnto Moses, Goe to Pharaoh: for I haue hardened his heart, and the heart of his seruants, that I might worke these my miracles in the middes of his realme,
上主對梅瑟說：「你去見法朗，因為我已使他和他臣僕心硬，要在他們中顯我的這些奇蹟，
2 And that thou maist declare in the eares of thy sonne, and of thy sonnes sonne, what things I haue done in Egypt, and my miracles, which I haue done among them: that ye may knowe that I am the Lord.
好叫你將我怎樣戲弄了埃及人，在他們中行了什麼奇蹟，都講給你的子孫聽，使你們知道我是上主。」
3 Then came Moses and Aaron vnto Pharaoh, and they said vnto him, Thus saith the Lord God of the Ebrewes, Howe long wilt thou refuse to humble thy selfe before me? Let my people goe, that they may serue me.
於是梅瑟和亞郎去見法朗說：「上主，希伯來人的天主這樣說：你不肯在我前低頭要到幾時呢﹖放走我的百姓去崇拜我罷!
4 But if thou refuse to let my people go, beholde, to morowe will I bring grashoppers into thy coastes.
如果你再拒絕放走我的百姓，看，明天我要使蝗蟲進入你的境內。
5 And they shall couer the face of the earth, that a man can not see the earth: and they shall eate the residue which remaineth vnto you, and hath escaped from the haile: and they shall eate all your trees that bud in the fielde.
蝗蟲要遮蓋地面，甚至看不見地；蝗蟲要吃盡免於冰雹而給你們留下的一切，也要吃盡田野間給你們生長的一切樹木。
6 And they shall fil thine houses, and all thy seruants houses, and the houses of all the Egyptians, as neither thy fathers, nor thy fathers fathers haue seene, since the time they were vpon the earth vnto this day. So he returned, and went out from Pharaoh.
你的宮殿，你的臣僕和所有埃及人的房屋都要充滿蝗蟲：這是你的祖宗和你祖宗的祖宗入世以來，直到今天所沒有見過的災禍。」梅瑟遂轉身離開法朗走了。
7 Then Pharaohs seruants saide vnto him, How long shall he be an offence vnto vs? let the men go, that they may serue the Lord their God: wilt thou first knowe that Egypt is destroyed?
法朗的臣僕們向法朗說：「這人陷害我們要到幾時﹖釋放這些人去崇拜上主他們的天主罷! 埃及已經滅亡，你還不知道嗎﹖」
8 So Moses and Aaron were brought againe vnto Pharaoh, and he saide vnto them, Goe, serue the Lord your God, but who are they that shall goe?
梅瑟和亞郎被召到法朗那裏，法朗對他們說：「你們去崇拜上主你們的天主罷! 但那要去的是些什麼人﹖」
9 And Moses answered, We will go with our yong and with our olde, with our sonnes and with our daughters, with our sheepe and with our cattell will we goe: for we must celebrate a feast vnto the Lord.
梅瑟回答說：「我們要帶領少年老年同去，要帶領兒女，牛羊同去，因為我們要過上主的節日。」
10 And he said vnto them, Let the Lord so be with you, as I will let you goe and your children: beholde, for euill is before your face.
法朗向他們說：「如果我放走你們和你們的孩子，就讓上主同你們在一起罷! 顯然你們不懷好意!
11 It shall not be so: nowe goe ye that are men, and serue the Lord: for that was your desire. Then they were thrust out from Pharaohs presence.
絕對不成! 只是你們的男子可以去崇拜上主，這原是你們所要求的。」隨後把他們從法朗前趕走。
12 After, the Lord said vnto Moses, Stretch out thine hande vpon the lande of Egypt for the grashoppers, that they may come vpon the lande of Egypt, and eate all the herbes of the land, euen all that the haile hath left.
上主對梅瑟說：「你向埃及地伸開你的手，使蝗蟲來到埃及地，吃盡冰雹從地上所剩餘的一切植物。」
13 Then Moses stretched foorth his rod vpon the lande of Egypt: and the Lord brought an East winde vpon the land all that day, and al that night: and in the morning the East wind brought the grashoppers.
梅瑟向埃及地伸開他的棍杖，上主就使東風在地上颳了一整天一整夜，到了早晨，東風吹來了蝗蟲。
14 So the grashoppers went vp vpon all the land of Egypt, and remained in all quarters of Egypt: so grieuous Grashoppers, like to these were neuer before, neither after them shalbe such.
蝗蟲到了埃及國，落在埃及全境，那樣多法，確是空前絕後。
15 For they couered all the face of the earth, so that the lande was darke: and they did eate all the herbes of the lande, and all the fruites of the trees, which the haile had left, so that there was no greene thing left vpon the trees, nor among the herbes of the fielde throughout all the lande of Egypt.
蝗蟲遮蓋了地面，大地變黑。蝗蟲吃盡了冰雹所剩下的一切植物和一切果實，這樣埃及全國無論是樹上或是田野間的植物上，沒有留下半點青葉。
16 Therefore Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste, and sayde, I haue sinned against the Lord your God, and against you.
法朗急速將梅瑟和亞郎召來，說：「我得罪了上主你們的天主，也得罪了你們。
17 And nowe forgiue mee my sinne onely this once, and pray vnto the Lord your God, that hee may take away from me this death onely.
現今請你們寬赦我的罪罷! 只這一次! 求上主你們的天主，快叫這致命的災禍離開我。」
18 Moses then went out from Pharaoh, and prayed vnto the Lord.
梅瑟從法朗那裏出來，祈求了上主。
19 And the Lord turned a mightie strong West winde, and tooke away the grashoppers, and violently cast them into the red Sea, so that there remained not one grashopper in all the coast of Egypt.
上主就換了強烈的西風，將蝗蟲捲去，投入紅海，在埃及四境沒有留下一個蝗蟲。
20 But the Lord hardened Pharaohs heart, and hee did not let the children of Israel goe.
上主又使法朗心硬，他仍不肯放走以色列子民。第九災、黑暗
21 Againe ye Lord said vnto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heauen, that there may be vpon the lande of Egypt darkenesse, euen darkenesse that may be felt.
上主對梅瑟說：「將你的手向天伸開，使黑暗降在埃及國。這黑暗似乎可以觸摸。」
22 Then Moses stretched forth his hande towarde heauen, and there was a blacke darkenesse in all the land of Egypt three daies.
梅瑟向天伸開手，濃密的黑暗就降在埃及國，有三天之久。
23 No man saw an other, neither rose vp from ye place where he was for three dayes: but all the children of Israel had light where they dwelt.
三天之內，人彼此不能看見，也不能離開自己的地方；但是以色列子民那邊，卻有光明照耀他們所住的地方。
24 The Pharaoh called for Moses and said, Go, serue the Lord: onely your sheepe and your cattel shall abide, and your children shall go with you.
法郎召梅瑟笸亞郎來說：「你們去崇拜上主罷! 你們的孩子可與你們同去，只把牛羊留下! 」
25 And Moses sayd, Thou must giue vs also sacrifices, and burnt offrings that wee may doe sacrifice vnto the Lord our God.
梅瑟回答說：「你本人應該給我們犧牲和全燔祭的祭品，叫我們獻於上主我們的天主。
26 Therefore our cattell also shall go with vs: there shall not an hoofe bee left, for thereof must we take to serue the Lord our God: neither doe wee knowe howe we shall serue the Lord, vntill we come thither.
我們的牲畜也都要跟我們同去，連一個蹄子也不留下，因為我們要用這些來崇拜上主我們的天主；並且未到那裏之前，我們還不知道要用什麼崇拜上主。」
27 (But the Lord hardened Pharaohs heart, and he would not let them goe)
上主又使法朗心硬，他仍不肯放走他們。
28 And Pharaoh sayde vnto him, Get thee from mee: looke thou see my face no more: for whensoeuer thou commest in my sight, thou shalt dye.
法朗對梅瑟說：「離開我去罷! 你要小心，不要再見我面，因為你見我面的那一天，你必要死! 」
29 Then Moses said, Thou hast said well: from henceforth will I see thy face no more.
梅瑟回答說：「就照你的話好了! 我再不見你的面。」
