< 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,
Et dixit Dominus ad Moysen: Ingredere ad Pharaonem: ego enim induravi cor eius, et servorum illius: ut faciam signa mea hæc in eo,
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.”
et narres in auribus filii tui, et nepotum tuorum, quoties contriverim Ægyptios, et signa mea fecerim in eis: et sciatis quia ego Dominus.
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,
Introierunt ergo Moyses et Aaron ad Pharaonem, et dixerunt ei: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus Hebræorum: Usquequo non vis subiici mihi? Dimitte populum meum, ut sacrificet mihi.
4 for if you are refusing to send My people away, behold, tomorrow I am bringing in the locust into your border,
Sin autem resistis, et non vis dimittere eum: ecce ego inducam cras locustam in fines tuos:
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;
quæ operiat superficiem terræ, ne quidquam eius appareat, sed comedatur quod residuum fuerit grandini. Corrodet enim omnia ligna quæ germinant in agris.
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.
Et implebunt domos tuas, et servorum tuorum, et omnium Ægyptiorum: quantam non viderunt patres tui, et avi, ex quo orti sunt super terram, usque in præsentem diem. Avertitque se, et egressus est a Pharaone.
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?”
Dixerunt autem servi Pharaonis ad eum: Usquequo patiemur hoc scandalum: dimitte homines, ut sacrificent Domino Deo suo. Nonne vides quod perierit Ægyptus?
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?”
Revocaveruntque Moysen, et Aaron ad Pharaonem: qui dixit eis: Ite, sacrificate Domino Deo vestro: quinam sunt qui ituri sunt?
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.”
Ait Moyses: Cum parvulis nostris, et senioribus pergemus, cum filiis et filiabus, cum ovibus et armentis: est enim sollemnitas Domini Dei nostri.
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.
Et respondit Pharao: Sic Dominus sit vobiscum, quo modo ego dimittam vos, et parvulos vestros, cui dubium est quod pessime cogitetis?
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.
Non fiet ita, sed ite tantum viri, et sacrificate Domino: hoc enim et ipsi petistis. Statimque eiecti sunt de conspectu Pharaonis.
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.”
Dixit autem Dominus ad Moysen: Extende manum tuam super Terram Ægypti ad locustam, ut ascendat super eam, et devoret omnem herbam quæ residua fuerit grandini.
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.
Et extendit Moyses virgam super terram Ægypti: et Dominus induxit ventum urentem tota die illa, et nocte: et mane facto, ventus urens levavit locustas.
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;
Quæ ascenderunt super universam Terram Ægypti: et sederunt in cunctis finibus Ægyptiorum innumerabiles, quales ante illud tempus non fuerant, nec postea futuræ sunt.
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.
Operueruntque universam superficiem terræ, vastantes omnia. Devorata est igitur herba terræ, et quidquid pomorum in arboribus fuit, quæ grando dimiserat: nihilque omnino virens relictum est in lignis, et in herbis terræ, in cuncta Ægypto.
16 And Pharaoh hurries to call for Moses and for Aaron and says, “I have sinned against your God YHWH, and against you,
Quam ob rem festinus Pharao vocavit Moysen et Aaron, et dixit eis: Peccavi in Dominum Deum vestrum, et in vos.
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.”
Sed nunc dimittite peccatum mihi etiam hac vice, et rogate Dominum Deum vestrum, ut auferat a me mortem istam.
18 And he goes out from Pharaoh, and makes supplication to YHWH,
Egressusque Moyses de conspectu Pharaonis, oravit Dominum.
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;
Qui flare fecit ventum ab occidente vehementissimum, et arreptam locustam proiecit in Mare Rubrum: non remansit ne una quidem in cunctis finibus Ægypti.
20 and YHWH strengthens the heart of Pharaoh, and he has not sent the sons of Israel away.
Et induravit Dominus cor Pharaonis, nec dimisit filios Israel.
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.”
Dixit autem Dominus ad Moysen: Extende manum tuam in cælum: et sint tenebræ super Terram Ægypti tam densæ, ut palpari queant.
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;
Extenditque Moyses manum in cælum: et factæ sunt tenebræ horribiles in universa Terra Ægypti tribus diebus.
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.
Nemo vidit fratrem suum, nec movit se de loco in quo erat: ubicumque autem habitabant filii Israel, lux erat.
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”;
Vocavitque Pharao Moysen et Aaron, et dixit eis: Ite, sacrificate Domino: oves tantum vestræ, et armenta remaneant, parvuli vestri eant vobiscum.
25 and Moses says, “You also give sacrifices and burnt-offerings in our hand, and we have prepared for our God YHWH;
Ait Moyses: Hostias quoque et holocausta dabis nobis, quæ offeramus Domino Deo nostro.
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.”
Cuncti greges pergent nobiscum: non remanebit ex eis ungula: quæ necessaria sunt in cultum Domini Dei nostri: præsertim cum ignoremus quid debeat immolari, donec ad ipsum locum perveniamus.
27 And YHWH strengthens the heart of Pharaoh, and he has not been willing to send them away;
Induravit autem Dominus cor Pharaonis, et noluit dimittere eos.
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”;
Dixitque Pharao ad Moysen: Recede a me, et cave ne ultra videas faciem meam: quocumque die apparueris mihi, morieris.
29 and Moses says, “You have spoken correctly, I do not add to see your face anymore.”
Respondit Moyses: Ita fiet ut locutus es, non videbo ultra faciem tuam.
