Exodus 10
1 And YHWH says to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh, for I have declared his heart hard, and the heart of his servants, so that I set these signs of Mine in their midst,
Og Herren sagde til Mose: Gak ind til Farao; thi jeg har forhærdet hans Hjerte og hans Tjeneres Hjerte for at gøre disse mine Tegn iblandt dem,
2 and so that you recount in the ears of your son, and of your son’s son, that which I have done in Egypt, and My signs which I have set among them, and you have known that I [am] YHWH.”
og for at du skal forkynde det for dine Børns og dine Børnebørns Øren, hvad jeg har udrettet i Ægypten, og mine Tegn, som jeg har sat iblandt dem; og I skulle fornemme, at jeg er Herren.
3 And Moses comes in—Aaron also—to Pharaoh, and they say to him, “Thus said YHWH, God of the Hebrews: Until when have you refused to be humbled at My presence? Send My people away, and they serve Me,
Saa gik Mose og Aron ind til Farao og sagde til ham: Saa siger Herren, Hebræernes Gud: Hvor længe vægrer du dig ved at ydmyge dig for mit Ansigt? lad mit Folk fare, at de maa tjene mig.
4 for if you are refusing to send My people away, behold, tomorrow I am bringing in the locust into your border,
Thi dersom du vægrer dig ved at lade mit Folk fare, se, da vil jeg i Morgen lade Græshopper komme i dit Landemærke.
5 and it has covered the eye of the land, and none is able to see the land, and it has eaten the remnant of that which is escaped, which is left to you from the hail, and it has eaten every tree which is springing out of the field for you;
Og de skulle skjule Synet af Jorden, at man ikke skal kunne se Jorden, og de skulle opæde det øvrige, som er reddet, og hvad der er blevet eder tilovers fra Hagelen, og de skulle æde hvert Træ, som vokser op hos eder af Marken.
6 and they have filled your houses, and the houses of all your servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians, which neither your fathers nor your father’s fathers have seen, since the day of their being on the ground to this day.” And he turns and goes out from Pharaoh.
Og dine Huse skulle fyldes og alle dine Tjeneres Huse og alle Ægypternes Huse, hvilket hverken dine Fædre eller dine Forfædre have set, fra den Tid de bleve til paa Jorden indtil denne Dag; saa vendte han sig og gik ud fra Farao.
7 And the servants of Pharaoh say to him, “Until when does this [one] become a snare to us? Send the men away, and they serve their God YHWH; do you not yet know that Egypt has perished?”
Da sagde Faraos Tjenere til ham: Hvor længe skal denne være os til en Snare? lad de Mænd fare, at de maa tjene Herren deres Gud; mon du endnu ikke ved, at Ægypten er ødelagt?
8 And Moses is brought back—Aaron also—to Pharaoh, and he says to them, “Go, serve your God YHWH, but who—who [are] those going?”
Og Mose og Aron bleve hentede tilbage til Farao, og han sagde til dem: Gaar, tjener Herren, eders Gud; hvilke ere de, som gaa bort?
9 And Moses says, “With our young ones, and with our aged ones, we go, with our sons, and with our daughters, with our flock, and our herd, we go, for we have a festival to YHWH.”
Og Mose sagde: Vi ville gaa med vore unge og vore gamle, med vore Sønner og vore Døtre, med vore Faar og med vore Øksne ville vi gaa; thi det er os Herrens Højtid.
10 And he says to them, “Be it so, YHWH [is] with you when I send you and your infants away; see—for evil [is] before your faces.
Da sagde han til dem: Saa vist være Herren med eder, som jeg vil lade eder og eders smaa Børn fare, ser der, at I have ondt i Sinde.
11 Not so! Go now, you who [are] men, and serve YHWH, for that you are seeking”; and [one] casts them out from the presence of Pharaoh.
Ikke saa! I Mænd, farer nu hen og tjener Herren, thi det have I begæret; og man drev dem ud fra Faraos Ansigt.
12 And YHWH says to Moses, “Stretch out your hand against the land of Egypt for the locust, and it goes up against the land of Egypt, and eats every herb of the land—all that the hail has left.”
Da sagde Herren til Mose: Ræk din Haand ud over Ægyptens Land efter Græshopper, og de skulle komme op over Ægyptens Land og æde alle Urter i Landet, ja alt det, som Hagelen lod blive tilovers.
13 And Moses stretches out his rod against the land of Egypt, and YHWH has led an east wind over the land all that day, and all the night; the morning has been, and the east wind has lifted up the locust.
Saa rakte Mose sin Stav over Ægyptens Land, og Herren lod komme Østenvejr i Landet den samme hele Dag og hele Nat; det skete om Morgenen, at Østenvejret bragte Græshopperne op.
14 And the locust goes up against all the land of Egypt, and rests in all the border of Egypt—very grievous: before it there has not been such a locust as it, and after it there is none such;
Og der kom Græshopper op over hele Ægyptens Land og lode sig ned i hele Ægyptens Landemærke; de vare i svær Mængde; før dem havde der ikke været Græshopper saaledes, og efter dem skulde der ikke blive saaledes;
15 and it covers the eye of all the land, and the land is darkened; and it eats every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail has left, and there has not been left any green thing in the trees, or in the herb of the field, in all the land of Egypt.
thi de skjulte Synet af hele Jorden, og Jorden blev formørket, og de aade alle Urter i Landet og al Frugt paa Træerne, som Hagelen lod blive tilovers; og der blev intet grønt tilovers paa Træer eller paa Urter i Marken i hele Ægyptens Land.
16 And Pharaoh hurries to call for Moses and for Aaron and says, “I have sinned against your God YHWH, and against you,
Da skyndte Farao sig at kalde ad Mose og Aron, og han sagde: Jeg har syndet imod Herren eders Gud og imod eder.
17 and now, please bear with my sin, only this time, and make supplication to your God YHWH, that He may turn aside from off me only this death.”
Og kære, forlad mig nu min Synd aleneste denne Gang, og beder til Herren eders Gud, at han dog vil borttage denne Død fra mig.
18 And he goes out from Pharaoh, and makes supplication to YHWH,
Og han gik ud fra Farao, og han bad til Herren.
19 and YHWH turns a very strong sea wind, and it lifts up the locust, and blows it into the Red Sea—there has not been left one locust in all the border of Egypt;
Og Herren vendte Vejret om til en saare stærk Vestenvind, som førte Græshopperne bort og kastede dem i det røde Hav; der blev ikke een Græshoppe tilovers i hele Ægyptens Landemærke.
20 and YHWH strengthens the heart of Pharaoh, and he has not sent the sons of Israel away.
Men Herren forhærdede Faraos Hjerte, og han lod ikke Israels Børn fare.
21 And YHWH says to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward the heavens, and there is darkness over the land of Egypt, and the darkness is felt.”
Og Herren sagde til Mose: Ræk din Haand op mod Himmelen, at der bliver Mørke over Ægyptens Land, at man kan føle paa Mørket.
22 And Moses stretches out his hand toward the heavens, and there is darkness—thick darkness in all the land of Egypt [for] three days;
Og Mose rakte sin Haand op mod Himmelen; da blev der tykt Mørke i hele Ægyptens Land i tre Dage.
23 they have not seen one another, and none has risen from his place [for] three days; but there has been light for all the sons of Israel in their dwellings.
Ikke een saa den anden, og ingen stod op fra sit Sted i tre Dage; men hos alle Israels Børn var det lyst i deres Boliger.
24 And Pharaoh calls to Moses and says, “Go, serve YHWH, only your flock and your herd are stayed, your infants also go with you”;
Da kaldte Farao ad Mose og sagde: Gaar, tjener Herren, kun skulle I lade eders Faar og Øksne blive; ogsaa eders smaa Børn maa fare med eder.
25 and Moses says, “You also give sacrifices and burnt-offerings in our hand, and we have prepared for our God YHWH;
Og Mose sagde: Du skal og medgive os Slagtoffere og Brændoffere, at vi kunne ofre til Herren, vor Gud.
26 and also our livestock go with us—there is not left a hoof, for we take from it to serve our God YHWH; and we do not know how we serve YHWH until our going there.”
Og endogsaa vort Fæ skal gaa med os, der skal ikke en Klov blive tilbage; thi vi skulle tage deraf til at tjene Herren, vor Gud; thi vi vide ikke, hvormed vi skulle tjene Herren, førend vi komme derhen.
27 And YHWH strengthens the heart of Pharaoh, and he has not been willing to send them away;
Men Herren forhærdede Faraos Hjerte, og han vilde ikke lade dem fare.
28 and Pharaoh says to him, “Go from me, take heed to yourself, do not add to see my face, for in the day you see my face you die”;
Og Farao sagde til ham: Gak fra mig, vogt dig, at du ikke mere ser mit Ansigt; thi paa hvilken Dag du ser mit Ansigt, skal du dø.
29 and Moses says, “You have spoken correctly, I do not add to see your face anymore.”
Og Mose sagde: Du talede ret; jeg vil herefter ikke mere se dit Ansigt.
