Exodus 9
1 And YHWH says to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh, and you have spoken to him, Thus said YHWH, God of the Hebrews: Send My people away, and they serve Me,
耶和華吩咐摩西說：「你進去見法老，對他說：『耶和華－希伯來人的上帝這樣說：容我的百姓去，好事奉我。
2 for if you are refusing to send [them] away, and are still keeping hold on them,
你若不肯容他們去，仍舊強留他們，
3 behold, the hand of YHWH is on your livestock which [are] in the field, on horses, on donkeys, on camels, on herd, and on flock—a very grievous pestilence.
耶和華的手加在你田間的牲畜上，就是在馬、驢、駱駝、牛群、羊群上，必有重重的瘟疫。
4 And YHWH has separated between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt, and there does not die a thing of all the sons of Israel;
耶和華要分別以色列的牲畜和埃及的牲畜，凡屬以色列人的，一樣都不死。』」
5 and YHWH sets an appointed time, saying, Tomorrow YHWH does this thing in the land.”
耶和華就定了時候，說：「明天耶和華必在此地行這事。」
6 And YHWH does this thing on the next day, and all the livestock of Egypt die, and of the livestock of the sons of Israel not one has died;
第二天，耶和華就行這事。埃及的牲畜幾乎都死了，只是以色列人的牲畜，一個都沒有死。
7 and Pharaoh sends, and behold, not even one of the livestock of Israel has died, and the heart of Pharaoh is hard, and he has not sent the people away.
法老打發人去看，誰知以色列人的牲畜連一個都沒有死。法老的心卻是固執，不容百姓去。
8 And YHWH says to Moses and to Aaron, “Take for yourselves the fullness of your handfuls—soot of a furnace, and Moses has sprinkled it toward the heavens, before the eyes of Pharaoh,
耶和華吩咐摩西、亞倫說：「你們取幾捧爐灰，摩西要在法老面前向天揚起來。
9 and it has become small dust over all the land of Egypt, and it has become on man and on livestock a boil breaking forth [with] blisters in all the land of Egypt.”
這灰要在埃及全地變作塵土，在人身上和牲畜身上成了起泡的瘡。」
10 And they take the soot of the furnace, and stand before Pharaoh, and Moses sprinkles it toward the heavens, and it is a boil [with] blisters breaking forth on man and on beast;
摩西、亞倫取了爐灰，站在法老面前。摩西向天揚起來，就在人身上和牲畜身上成了起泡的瘡。
11 and the enchanters have not been able to stand before Moses because of the boil, for the boil has been on the enchanters, and on all the Egyptians.
行法術的在摩西面前站立不住，因為在他們身上和一切埃及人身上都有這瘡。
12 And YHWH strengthens the heart of Pharaoh, and he has not listened to them, as YHWH has spoken to Moses.
耶和華使法老的心剛硬，不聽他們，正如耶和華對摩西所說的。
13 And YHWH says to Moses, “Rise early in the morning, and station yourself before Pharaoh, and you have said to him, Thus said YHWH, God of the Hebrews: Send My people away, and they serve Me,
耶和華對摩西說：「你清早起來，站在法老面前，對他說：『耶和華－希伯來人的上帝這樣說：容我的百姓去，好事奉我。
14 for at this time I am sending all My plagues to your heart, and on your servants, and on your people, so that you know that there is none like Me in all the earth,
因為這一次我要叫一切的災殃臨到你和你臣僕並你百姓的身上，叫你知道在普天下沒有像我的。
15 for now I have put forth My hand, and I strike you, and your people, with pestilence, and you are hidden from the earth.
我若伸手用瘟疫攻擊你和你的百姓，你早就從地上除滅了。
16 And yet for this I have caused you to stand, so as to show you My power, and for the sake of declaring My Name in all the earth;
其實，我叫你存立，是特要向你顯我的大能，並要使我的名傳遍天下。
17 still you are exalting yourself against My people—so as not to send them away;
你還向我的百姓自高，不容他們去嗎？
18 behold, I am raining very grievous hail about [this] time tomorrow, such as has not been in Egypt from the day of its founding and until now.
到明天約在這時候，我必叫重大的冰雹降下，自從埃及開國以來，沒有這樣的冰雹。
19 And now, send, strengthen your livestock and all that you have in the field; every man and beast which is found in the field, and is not gathered into the house—the hail has come down on them, and they have died.”
現在你要打發人把你的牲畜和你田間一切所有的催進來；凡在田間不收回家的，無論是人是牲畜，冰雹必降在他們身上，他們就必死。』」
20 He who is fearing the word of YHWH among the servants of Pharaoh has caused his servants and his livestock to flee to the houses;
法老的臣僕中，懼怕耶和華這話的，便叫他的奴僕和牲畜跑進家來。
21 and he who has not set his heart to the word of YHWH leaves his servants and his livestock in the field.
但那不把耶和華這話放在心上的，就將他的奴僕和牲畜留在田裏。
22 And YHWH says to Moses, “Stretch forth your hand toward the heavens, and there is hail in all the land of Egypt, on man, and on beast, and on every herb of the field in the land of Egypt.”
耶和華對摩西說：「你向天伸杖，使埃及遍地的人身上和牲畜身上，並田間各樣菜蔬上，都有冰雹。」
23 And Moses stretches out his rod toward the heavens, and YHWH has given voices and hail, and fire goes toward the earth, and YHWH rains hail on the land of Egypt,
摩西向天伸杖，耶和華就打雷下雹，有火閃到地上；耶和華下雹在埃及地上。
24 and there is hail, and fire catching itself in the midst of the hail, very grievous, such as has not been in all the land of Egypt since it has become a nation.
那時，雹與火攙雜，甚是厲害，自從埃及成國以來，遍地沒有這樣的。
25 And the hail strikes all that [is] in the field in all the land of Egypt, from man even to beast, and the hail has struck every herb of the field, and it has broken every tree of the field;
在埃及遍地，雹擊打了田間所有的人和牲畜，並一切的菜蔬，又打壞田間一切的樹木。
26 only in the land of Goshen, where the sons of Israel [are], there has been no hail.
惟獨以色列人所住的歌珊地沒有冰雹。
27 And Pharaoh sends, and calls for Moses and for Aaron, and says to them, “I have sinned this time—YHWH [is] the righteous, and I and my people [are] the wicked,
法老打發人召摩西、亞倫來，對他們說：「這一次我犯了罪了。耶和華是公義的；我和我的百姓是邪惡的。
28 make supplication to YHWH, and plead that there be no voices of God and hail, and I send you away, and you do not add to remain.”
這雷轟和冰雹已經夠了。請你們求耶和華，我就容你們去，不再留住你們。」
29 And Moses says to him, “At my going out of the city, I spread my palms to YHWH—the voices cease, and there is no more hail, so that you know that the earth [is] YHWH’s;
摩西對他說：「我一出城，就要向耶和華舉手禱告；雷必止住，也不再有冰雹，叫你知道全地都是屬耶和華的。
30 but you and your servants—I have known that you are not yet afraid of the face of YHWH God.”
至於你和你的臣僕，我知道你們還是不懼怕耶和華上帝。」（
31 And the flax and the barley have been struck, for the barley [is] budding, and the flax forming flowers,
那時，麻和大麥被雹擊打；因為大麥已經吐穗，麻也開了花。
32 and the wheat and the rye have not been struck, for they are late.
只是小麥和粗麥沒有被擊打，因為還沒有長成。）
33 And Moses goes out from Pharaoh, [from] the city, and spreads his hands to YHWH, and the voices and the hail cease, and rain has not been poured out to the earth;
摩西離了法老出城，向耶和華舉手禱告；雷和雹就止住，雨也不再澆在地上了。
34 and Pharaoh sees that the rain has ceased, and the hail and the voices, and he continues to sin, and hardens his heart, he and his servants;
法老見雨和雹與雷止住，就越發犯罪；他和他的臣僕都硬着心。
35 and the heart of Pharaoh is strong, and he has not sent the sons of Israel away, as YHWH has spoken by the hand of Moses.
法老的心剛硬，不容以色列人去，正如耶和華藉着摩西所說的。
