Exodus 7
1 And the Lord said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh; and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.
Og Herren sagde til Mose: Se, jeg har sat dig til en Gud for Farao og Aron, din Broder, skal være din Profet.
2 Thou shalt speak all that I shall command thee; and Aaron thy brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he send away the children of Israel out of his land.
Du skal tale alt det, som jeg vil befale dig; men Aron, din Broder, skal tale til Farao, at han skal lade Israels Børn drage ud af sit Land.
3 And I will harden the heart of Pharaoh, and I will multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.
Men jeg vil forhærde Faraos Hjerte og mangfoldiggøre mine Tegn og mine underlige Gerninger i Ægyptens Land.
4 And Pharaoh will not hearken unto you, and I will lay my hand upon Egypt, and bring forth my armies, my people, the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by means of great judgments.
Og Farao skal ikke høre eder, og jeg vil lægge min Haand paa Ægypterne og udføre mine Hære, mit Folk, Israels Børn, af Ægyptens Land ved store Domme.
5 And the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I stretch forth my hand over Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from the midst of them.
Og Ægypterne skulle fornemme, at jeg er Herren, naar jeg udrækker min Haand over Ægypten og fører Israels Børn midt ud fra dem.
6 And Moses and Aaron did so; as the Lord commanded them, so did they.
Og Mose og Aron gjorde det; saasom Herren havde befalet dem, saa gjorde de.
7 And Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron eighty and three years old, when they spoke unto Pharaoh.
Og Mose var firsindstyve Aar gammel, og Aron tre og firsindstyve Aar gammel, da de talede til Farao.
8 And the Lord said unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
Og Herren sagde til Mose og til Aron, sigende:
9 If Pharaoh shall speak unto you, saying, Show a miracle for yourselves: then shalt thou say unto Aaron, Take thy staff and cast it down before Pharaoh; it shall become a serpent.
Naar Farao taler til eder sigende: Gører en underlig Gerning, da skal du sige til Aron: Tag din Stav og kast den for Faraos Ansigt: Den skal blive til en Slange.
10 And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so, as the Lord had commanded; and Aaron cast down his staff before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it became a serpent.
Da kom Mose og Aron til Farao og gjorde saaledes, som Herren havde befalet, og Aron kastede sin Stav for Farao og for hans Tjenere, og den blev til en Slange.
11 Then Pharaoh also called for the wise men and the sorcerers; and they also, the magicians of Egypt, did with their secret arts in like manner.
Da kaldte ogsaa Farao ad de vise og Troldkarlene, men ogsaa disse, de ægyptiske Koglere, gjorde ligesaa med deres Besværgelser.
12 And they cast down every man his staff, and they became serpents; but Aaron's staff swallowed up their staves.
Og de kastede hver sin Stav, og de bleve Slanger; men Arons Stav opslugte deres Stave.
13 But the heart of Pharaoh was hard, and he hearkened not unto them; as the Lord had spoken.
Og Faraos Hjerte forhærdedes, at han hørte dem ikke, ligesom Herren havde sagt.
14 And the Lord said unto Moses, The heart of Pharaoh is obdurate, he refuseth to let the people go.
Og Herren sagde til Mose: Faraos Hjerte er haardt, han vægrer sig ved at lade Folket fare.
15 Get thee unto Pharaoh in the morning; lo, he goeth out unto the water; and thou shalt place thyself opposite to him by the brink of the river; and the staff which was turned to a serpent shalt thou take in thy hand.
Gak til Farao aarle, se, han gaar ud til Vandet, og du skal træde frem mod ham ved Bredden af Floden; og din Stav, som var omvendt til en Slange, skal du tage i din Haand.
16 And thou shalt say unto him, The Eternal, the God of the Hebrews, hath sent me unto thee, saying, Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness: and, behold, thou wouldst not hear, up to this time.
Og du skal sige til ham: Herren, Hebræernes Gud, har sendt mig til dig og sagt: Lad mit Folk fare, at de kunne tjene mig i Ørken, og se, du har ej villet høre hidindtil.
17 Thus hath said the Lord, By this thou shalt know that I am the Lord: behold, I will smite with the staff that is in my hand upon the waters which are in the river, and they shall be turned to blood.
Saa siger Herren: Af dette skal du fornemme, at jeg er Herren; se, jeg slaar med Staven, som jeg har i min Haand, paa Vandet, som er i Floden, og det skal omvendes til Blod.
18 And the fish that is in the river shall die, and the river shall stink; and the Egyptians shall loath to drink water from the river.
Og Fiskene, som ere i Floden, skulle dø, og Floden skal lugte ilde, saa at Ægypterne skulle væmmes ved at drikke Vand af Floden.
19 And the Lord said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Take thy staff, and stretch out thy hand over the waters of Egypt, over their streams, over their rivers, and over their ponds, and over all their pools of water, that they become blood; and there shall be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, also in vessels of wood, and in vessels of stone.
Og Herren sagde til Mose: Sig til Aron: Tag din Stav og ræk din Haand ud over Vandet i Ægypten, over deres Strømme, over deres Floder og over deres Søer og over alle deres Vandsamlinger, og de skulle vorde Blod, og der skal være Blod i hele Ægyptens Land, baade i Træ- og i Stenkarrene.
20 And Moses and Aaron did so, as the Lord had commanded; and he lifted up [his hand] with the staff, and smote the waters that were in the river, before the eyes of Pharaoh, and before the eyes of his servants; and all the waters that were in the river were turned to blood.
Og Mose og Aron gjorde saa, eftersom Herren havde befalet, og han opløftede Staven og slog Vandet, som var i Floden, for Faraos Øjne og for hans Tjeneres Øjne, og alt Vandet, som var i Floden, omvendtes til Blod.
21 And the fish that was in the river died; and the river stank, and the Egyptians could not drink water from the river; and the blood was throughout all the land of Egypt.
Og Fiskene, som vare i Floden, døde, og Floden lugtede ilde, saa at Ægypterne ikke kunde drikke Vand af Floden; og der blev Blod i hele Ægyptens Land.
22 And the magicians of Egypt did so with their secret arts: and the heart of Pharaoh remained hardened, and he did not hearken unto them; as the Lord had spoken.
Og de ægyptiske Koglere gjorde ligesaa med deres Besværgelser; og Faraos Hjerte forhærdedes, at han hørte dem ikke, som Herren havde sagt.
23 And Pharaoh turned away and went into his house, and he did not set his heart to this thing also.
Og Farao vendte sig og gik til sit Hus og lagde end ikke dette paa sit Hjerte.
24 And all the Egyptians dug in the neighborhood of the river for water to drink; for they could not drink of the water of the river.
Men alle Ægypterne grove omkring Floden efter Vand at drikke; thi de kunde ikke drikke af Vandet i Floden.
25 And full seven days elapsed, after that the Lord had smitten the river.
Og der forløb syv Dage, efter at Herren havde slaget Floden.
