Exodus 9
1 And the Lord said to Moses, Go in to Pharao, and you shall say to him, These things says the Lord God of the Hebrews; Send my people away that they may serve me.
耶和华吩咐摩西说：“你进去见法老，对他说：‘耶和华—希伯来人的 神这样说：容我的百姓去，好事奉我。
2 If however you will not send my people away, but yet detain them:
你若不肯容他们去，仍旧强留他们，
3 behold, the hand of the Lord shall be upon your cattle in the fields, both on the horses, and on the asses, and on the camels and oxen and sheep, a very great mortality.
耶和华的手加在你田间的牲畜上，就是在马、驴、骆驼、牛群、羊群上，必有重重的瘟疫。
4 And I will make a marvelous distinction in that time between the cattle of the Egyptians, and the cattle of the children of Israel: nothing shall die of all that is of the children's of Israel.
耶和华要分别以色列的牲畜和埃及的牲畜，凡属以色列人的，一样都不死。’”
5 And God fixed a limit, saying, To-morrow the Lord will do this thing on the land.
耶和华就定了时候，说：“明天耶和华必在此地行这事。”
6 And the Lord did this thing on the next day, and all the cattle of the Egyptians died, but of the cattle of the children of Israel there died not one.
第二天，耶和华就行这事。埃及的牲畜几乎都死了，只是以色列人的牲畜，一个都没有死。
7 And when Pharao saw, that of all the cattle of the children of Israel there died not one, the heart of Pharao was hardened, and he did not let the people go.
法老打发人去看，谁知以色列人的牲畜连一个都没有死。法老的心却是固执，不容百姓去。
8 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, Take you handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses scatter it toward heaven before Pharao, and before his servants.
耶和华吩咐摩西、亚伦说：“你们取几捧炉灰，摩西要在法老面前向天扬起来。
9 And let it become dust over all the land of Egypt, and there shall be upon men and upon beasts sore blains breaking forth both on men and on beasts, in all the land of Egypt.
这灰要在埃及全地变作尘土，在人身上和牲畜身上成了起泡的疮。”
10 So he took of the ashes of the furnace before Pharao, and Moses scattered it toward heaven, and it became sore blains breaking forth both on men and on beasts.
摩西、亚伦取了炉灰，站在法老面前。摩西向天扬起来，就在人身上和牲畜身上成了起泡的疮。
11 And the sorcerers could not stand before Moses because of the sores, for the sores were on the sorcerers, and in all the land of Egypt.
行法术的在摩西面前站立不住，因为在他们身上和一切埃及人身上都有这疮。
12 And the Lord hardened Pharao's heart, and he listened not to them, as the Lord appointed.
耶和华使法老的心刚硬，不听他们，正如耶和华对摩西所说的。
13 And the Lord said to Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharao; and you shall say to him, These things says the Lord God of the Hebrews, Send away my people that they may serve me.
耶和华对摩西说：“你清早起来，站在法老面前，对他说：‘耶和华—希伯来人的 神这样说：容我的百姓去，好事奉我。
14 For at this present time do I send forth all my plagues into your heart, and the heart of your servants and of your people; that you may know that there is not another such as I in all the earth.
因为这一次我要叫一切的灾殃临到你和你臣仆并你百姓的身上，叫你知道在普天下没有像我的。
15 For now I will stretch forth my hand and strike you and kill your people, and you shall be consumed from off the earth.
我若伸手用瘟疫攻击你和你的百姓，你早就从地上除灭了。
16 And for this purpose have you been preserved, that I might display in you my strength, and that my name might bepublished in all the earth.
其实，我叫你存立，是特要向你显我的大能，并要使我的名传遍天下。
17 Do you then yet exert yourself to hinder my people, so as not to let them go?
你还向我的百姓自高，不容他们去吗？
18 Behold, to-morrow at this hour I will rain a very great hail, such as has not been in Egypt, from the time it was created until this day.
到明天约在这时候，我必叫重大的冰雹降下，自从埃及开国以来，没有这样的冰雹。
19 Now then hasten to gather your cattle, and all that you have in the fields; for all the men and cattle as many as shall be found in the fields, and shall not enter into a house, (but the hail shall fall upon them, ) shall die.
现在你要打发人把你的牲畜和你田间一切所有的催进来；凡在田间不收回家的，无论是人是牲畜，冰雹必降在他们身上，他们就必死。’”
20 He of the servants of Pharao that feared the word of the Lord, gathered his cattle into the houses.
法老的臣仆中，惧怕耶和华这话的，便叫他的奴仆和牲畜跑进家来。
21 And he that did not attend in his mind to the word of the Lord, left the cattle in the fields.
但那不把耶和华这话放在心上的，就将他的奴仆和牲畜留在田里。
22 And the Lord said to Moses, Stretch out your hand to heaven, and there shall be hail on all the land of Egypt, both on the men and on the cattle, and on all the herbage on the land.
耶和华对摩西说：“你向天伸杖，使埃及遍地的人身上和牲畜身上，并田间各样菜蔬上，都有冰雹。”
23 And Moses stretched forth his hand to heaven, and the Lord sent thunderings and hail; and the fire ran along upon the ground, and the Lord rained hail on all the land of Egypt.
摩西向天伸杖，耶和华就打雷下雹，有火闪到地上；耶和华下雹在埃及地上。
24 So there was hail and flaming fire mingled with hail; and the hail was very great, such as was not in Egypt, from the time there was a nation upon it.
那时，雹与火搀杂，甚是厉害，自从埃及成国以来，遍地没有这样的。
25 And the hail struck in all the land of Egypt both man and beast, and the hail struck all the grass in the field, and the hail broke in pieces all the trees in the field.
在埃及遍地，雹击打了田间所有的人和牲畜，并一切的菜蔬，又打坏田间一切的树木。
26 Only in the land of Gesem where the children of Israel were, the hail was not.
惟独以色列人所住的歌珊地没有冰雹。
27 And Pharao sent and called Moses and Aaron, and said to them, I have sinned this time: the Lord [is] righteous, and I and my people are wicked.
法老打发人召摩西、亚伦来，对他们说：“这一次我犯了罪了。耶和华是公义的；我和我的百姓是邪恶的。
28 Pray then for me to the Lord, and let him cause the thunderings of God to cease, and the hail and the fire, and I will send you forth and you shall remain no longer.
这雷轰和冰雹已经够了。请你们求耶和华，我就容你们去，不再留住你们。”
29 And Moses said to him, When I shall have departed from the city, I will stretch out my hands to the Lord, and the thunderings shall cease, and the hail and the rain shall be no longer, that you may know that the earth [is] the Lord's.
摩西对他说：“我一出城，就要向耶和华举手祷告；雷必止住，也不再有冰雹，叫你知道全地都是属耶和华的。
30 But as for you and your servants, I know that you have not yet feared the Lord.
至于你和你的臣仆，我知道你们还是不惧怕耶和华 神。”（
31 And the flax and the barley were struck, for the barley was advanced, and the flax was seeding.
那时，麻和大麦被雹击打；因为大麦已经吐穗，麻也开了花。
32 But the wheat and the rye were not struck, for they were late.
只是小麦和粗麦没有被击打，因为还没有长成。）
33 And Moses went forth from Pharao out of the city, and stretched out his hands to the Lord, and the thunders ceased and the hail, and the rain did not drop on the earth.
摩西离了法老出城，向耶和华举手祷告；雷和雹就止住，雨也不再浇在地上了。
34 And when Pharao saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders ceased, he continued to sin; and [he] hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants.
法老见雨和雹与雷止住，就越发犯罪；他和他的臣仆都硬着心。
35 And the heart of Pharao was hardened, and he did not send forth the children of Israel, as the Lord said to Moses.
法老的心刚硬，不容以色列人去，正如耶和华借着摩西所说的。
