Exodus 9
1 Then the Lord said vnto Moses, Go to Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus saith the Lord God of the Ebrewes, Let my people go, that they may serue me.
上主對梅瑟說：「你去見法朗，向他說：上主希伯來人的天主這樣說：你應放走我的百姓，叫他們去崇拜我。
2 But if thou refuse to let them goe, and wilt yet holde them still,
你若拒絕不放，仍然扣留他們，
3 Beholde, the hande of the Lord is vpon thy flocke which is in the fielde: for vpon the horses, vpon the asses, vpon the camels, vpon the cattell, and vpon the sheepe shalbe a mightie great moraine.
看，上主的手必用一種嚴厲的瘟疫加在你田野間的一切牲畜：就是馬、驢、駱駝、牛、羊身上。
4 And the Lord shall doe wonderfully betweene the beastes of Israel, and the beastes of Egypt: so that there shall nothing dye of all, that pertaineth to the children of Israel.
上主要分清以色列子民的牲畜和埃及人的牲畜，凡是以色列子民的，一個也不死。
5 And the Lord appointed a time, saying, To morowe the Lord shall finish this thing in this lande.
上主規定了時間說：明天上主要在此地實行這事。」
6 So the Lord did this thing on the morow, and all the cattel of Egypt dyed: but of the cattell of the children of Israel dyed not one.
第二天上主便作了這事。埃及人的牲畜完全死了，但以色列子民的，一個也沒有死。
7 Then Pharaoh sent, and beholde, there was not one of the cattell of the Israelites dead: and the heart of Pharaoh was obstinate, and hee did not let the people goe.
法朗打發人去看，果然以色列子民的牲畜，連一個也沒有死。但是法朗仍然心硬，不肯放走百姓。第六災、膿瘡
8 And the Lord said to Moses and to Aaron, Take your handfull of ashes of the fornace, and Moses shall sprinkle them towarde the heauen in the sight of Pharaoh,
上主又對梅瑟和法郎說：「你們滿手抓把爐灰，梅瑟要在法朗眼前向天揚起。
9 And they shall be turned to dust in all the land of Egypt: and it shalbe as a scab breaking out into blisters vpon man, and vpon beast, thorow out all the land of Egypt.
這灰要在埃及全國變成塵土，使全埃及國的人和牲畜身上生出紅疹和膿瘡。」
10 Then they tooke ashes of the fornace, and stoode before Pharaoh: and Moses sprinkled them towarde the heauen, and there came a scab breaking out into blisters vpon man, and vpon beast.
他們就取了爐灰站在法朗面前；梅瑟將灰向天揚起，人和牲畜身上便起了紅疹和膿瘡。
11 And the sorcerers could not stande before Moses, because of the scab: for the scab was vpon the enchanters, and vpon all the Egyptians.
巫士們因為生了瘡，不能站在梅瑟面前，因為巫士和一切埃及人身上都生了瘡。
12 And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he hearkened not vnto them, as the Lord had said vnto Moses.
上主使法朗心硬，法朗仍不肯聽梅瑟和法郎的話，正如上主向梅瑟說過。第七災、冰雹
13 Also the Lord said vnto Moses, Rise vp early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus saith the Lord God of the Ebrewes, Let my people goe, that they may serue me.
上主對梅瑟說：「明天早晨你去見法朗，向他說：上主，希伯來人的天主這樣說：你要放走我的百姓，使他們去崇拜我。
14 For I will at this time send all my plagues vpon thine heart, and vpon thy seruants, and vpon thy people, that thou mayest knowe that there is none like me in all the earth.
因為這一次我要使我的一切災禍降到你、你的臣僕和你的人民身上，為叫你知道全世界上沒有相似我的。
15 For nowe I will stretch out mine hande, that I may smite thee and thy people with the pestilence: and thou shalt perish from the earth.
現在如果我伸手用瘟疫打擊你和你的人民，你早已從地上消滅了。
16 And in deede, for this cause haue I appointed thee, to shewe my power in thee, and to declare my Name throughout all the world.
我所以保留你的原故，是為叫你看見我的能力，向全世界傳揚我的名。
17 Yet thou exaltest thy selfe against my people, and lettest them not goe.
你若仍然固執壓迫我的百姓，不放走他們，
18 Beholde, to morowe this time I will cause to raine a mightie great haile, such as was not in Egypt since the foundation thereof was laid vnto this time.
看我明天此時要降下可怕的冰雹，是埃及建國以來直到現在所未有過的。
19 Send therefore nowe, and gather the cattell, and all that thou hast in the fielde: for vpon all the men, and the beastes, which are found in the field, and not brought home, the haile shall fall vpon them, and they shall die.
所以你快派人把你的牲畜和田野間的一切，帶到安全地方，因為凡在田野間的人和牲畜而不聚到屋內的，冰雹必降在他們身上，將他們砸死。」
20 Such then as feared the word of the Lord among the seruants of Pharaoh, made his seruants and his cattell flee into the houses:
法朗臣僕中凡害怕上主的話的，就叫自己的奴僕和牲畜逃避到家中；
21 But such as regarded not the worde of the Lord, left his seruants, and his cattell in the fielde.
那不把上主的話放在心上的，就將奴僕和牲畜捨在田間。
22 And the Lord saide to Moses, Stretche foorth thine hande towarde heauen, that there may be haile in all the land of Egypt, vpon man, and vpon beast, and vpon all the herbes of the fielde in the lande of Egypt.
上主對梅瑟說：「向天伸開你的手，使冰雹降在埃及全國，降在人和牲畜身上，降在埃及國內田野間的植物上。」
23 Then Moses stretched out his rod towarde heauen, and the Lord sent thunder and haile, and lightening vpon the ground: and the Lord caused haile to raine vpon the land of Egypt.
梅瑟把他的棍杖向天一伸，上主便叫打雷，下雹，閃電打在地上。上主使冰雹降在埃及地時，
24 So there was haile, and fire mingled with the haile, so grieuous, as there was none throughout all the lande of Egypt, since it was a nation.
冰雹和冰雹中夾雜著不停的閃電，情形極其可怕，是全埃及國自從有人民以來所沒有過的。
25 And the haile smote throughout al ye land of Egypt all that was in the fielde, both man and beast: also ye haile smote all the herbes of ye field, and brake to pieces all the trees of the fielde.
冰雹把埃及全境，田野間所有的一切，連人和生畜都打死了，打壞了田野間的一切蔬菜，打斷了郊野間的一切樹木；
26 Onely in the lande of Goshen (where the children of Israel were) was no haile.
只有以色列子民所居住的歌笙地沒有冰雹。
27 Then Pharaoh sent and called for Moses and Aaron, and said vnto them, I haue now sinned: the Lord is righteous, but I and my people are wicked.
法朗打發人召梅瑟和亞郎來，對他們說：「這次我犯了罪，上主是正義的，我和我的人民都有罪過。
28 Pray ye vnto the Lord (for it is ynough) that there be no more mightie thunders and haile, and I will let you goe, and yee shall tarie no longer.
請你祈求上主! 天主的雷和冰雹已夠受了；我決放走你們，你們不要再留在這裏。」
29 Then Moses saide vnto him, Assoone as I am out of the citie, I will spreade mine hands vnto the Lord, and the thunder shall cease, neither shall there be any more haile, that thou mayest knowe that the earth is the Lordes.
梅瑟回答他說「我出城後，就向上主伸手，雷必會停止，冰雹也不再降下，為叫你知道，大地是屬於上主的。
30 As for thee and thy seruants, I knowe afore I pray ye will feare before the face of the Lord God.
但是我知道，你和你的臣僕，仍不敬畏上主天主。」
31 (And the flaxe, and the barley were smitten: for the barley was eared, and the flaxe was bolled.
麻和大麥都被打壞，因為大麥已經吐穗，麻也開花，
32 But the wheat and the rye were not smitten, for they were hid in the grounde)
只是小麥和粗麥，因為長的遲些，沒有被打壞。
33 Then Moses went out of the citie from Pharaoh, and spred his hands to the Lord, and the thunder and the haile ceased, neither rained it vpon the earth.
梅瑟離開法朗出了城，向上主伸手，雷和雹就停止了，雨也不往地上下了。
34 And when Pharaoh sawe that the raine and the haile and the thunder were ceased, hee sinned againe, and hardened his heart, both he, and his seruants.
法朗見雨、雹、雷都停止了，又再犯罪，他和他的臣僕又心硬了。
35 So the heart of Pharaoh was hardened: neither would he let the children of Israel goe, as the Lord had said by Moses.
法朗更加心硬，不肯放走以色列子民，正如上主藉梅瑟所說的。
