Exodus 9
1 Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, —then shalt thou say unto him—Thus, saith Yahweh, God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
Og Herren sagde til Mose: Gak til Farao, og du skal sige til ham: Saa siger Herren, Hebræernes Gud: Lad mit Folk fare, at de kunne tjene mig.
2 But, if, refusing, thou art to let them go, —and still art holding them fast,
Thi dersom du vægrer dig ved at lade dem fare, og du fremdeles holder paa dem,
3 lo! the hand of Yahweh, is coming on thy cattle which are in the field, on the horses, on the asses on the camels, on the herds and on the flocks, —a very grievous pestilence;
se, da skal Herrens Haand komme over dit Kvæg, som er paa Marken, over Heste, over Asener, over Kameler, over Øksne og over smaat Kvæg, en saare svar Pest.
4 and Yahweh will make a difference between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of the Egyptians, —so that there shall not die from among all that pertaineth to the sons of Israel, a thing!
Og Herren skal gøre Skilsmisse imellem Israels Kvæg og imellem Ægypternes Kvæg, og der skal intet dø af alt det, Israels Børn have.
5 And Yahweh appointed a set time—saying, To-morrow, will Yahweh do this thing, in the land.
Og Herren satte en bestemt Tid og sagde: I Morgen skal Herren gøre denne Gerning i Landet.
6 So Yahweh did this thing, on the morrow, and all the cattle of the Egyptians died, —but of the cattle of the sons of Israel, died not one.
Og Herren gjorde denne Gerning den næste Dag, og alt Ægypternes Kvæg døde; men der døde ikke eet Stykke af Israels Børns Kvæg.
7 And Pharaoh sent, and lo! there had not died of the cattle of Israel, so much as one. But Pharaoh’s heart became dull, and he did not let the people go.
Og Farao sendte Bud, og se, end ikke eet Stykke var død af Israels Kvæg; men Faraos Hjerte forhærdedes, og han lod ikke Folket fare.
8 Then said Yahweh unto Moses and unto Aaron, Take you your hands full of the ashes of an oven, —and Moses shall scatter them towards the heavens, before the eyes of Pharaoh:
Da sagde Herren til Mose og til Aron: Tager eders Næver fulde af Aske fra Ovnen, og Mose skal slaa den ud mod Himmelen for Faraos Øjne.
9 then shall they become fine dust, over all the land of Egypt, —and shall become on man and on beast, a burning sore, breaking out in pustules in all the land of Egypt.
Og den skal vorde til Støv over alt Ægyptens Land, og det skal vorde til Bylder, som skal bryde ud med Blegner, paa Folket og paa Kvæget i alt Ægyptens Land.
10 So they took the ashes of an oven and stood before Pharaoh, and Moses scattered them towards the heavens, —and it came to pass that there was a burning sore in pustules breaking out, among men, and among beasts;
Saa toge de Aske fra Ovnen og stode for Farao, og Mose slog den ud mod Himmelen; og der blev Bylder, som brød ud med Blegner, paa Folket og paa Kvæget.
11 and the sacred scribes could not stand before Moses, because of the burning sore, —for the burning sore had come on the sacred scribes, and on all the Egyptians.
Og Koglerne kunde ikke bestaa for Mose, formedelst Bylderne; thi der var Bylder paa Koglerne og paa alle Ægyptere.
12 But Yahweh let the heart of Pharaoh wax bold, and he hearkened not unto them, —as spake Yahweh unto Moses.
Men Herren forhærdede Faraos Hjerte, saa at han ikke hørte dem, som Herren havde sagt til Mose.
13 Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Rise thou early in the morning, and station thyself before Pharaoh, —then shalt thou say unto him—Thus, saith Yahweh, God of the Hebrews, Let my people go that they may serve me;
Da sagde Herren til Mose: Staa aarle op om Morgenen og stil dig for Farao og sig til ham: Saa siger Herren, Hebræernes Gud: Lad mit Folk fare, at de kunne tjene mig.
14 for this time, am I, sending all my plagues unto thy heart, and amongst thy servants and amongst thy people, —to the intent thou mayest get to know, that there is none like me in all the earth.
Thi denne Gang vil jeg sende alle mine Plager, saa det gaar dig til Hjerte, baade paa dine Tjenere og paa dit Folk, at du skal fornemme, at der er ingen som jeg paa al Jorden.
15 For now, might I have put forth my hand, and smitten thee and thy people with pestilence, —and thou shouldst have secretly disappeared from the earth;
Thi havde jeg allerede udrakt min Haand og slaget dig og dit Folk med Pest, da havde du været udslettet af Jorden;
16 but, in very deed for this purpose, have I let thee remain, for the purpose of showing thee my might, —and that my name may be celebrated in all the earth.
men sandelig derfor har jeg ladet dig blive staaende, for at lade dig se min Magt, og for at mit Navn skal kundgøres i alle Lande.
17 Even yet, art thou exalting thyself over my people—in not letting them go?
Ophøjer du dig endnu over mit Folk, saa at du ikke vil lade dem fare?
18 Behold me! raining down, about this time to-morrow, an exceeding heavy hail, —such as hath not been in Egypt, from the day it was founded, even unto the present time.
Se, jeg vil i Morgen paa denne Tid lade regne en saare svar Hagel, hvis Lige var aldrig før i Ægypten fra den Dag, det blev grundfæstet og hidindtil.
19 Now, therefore, send—bring into safety thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field, —as touching all men and beasts which shall be found in the field and shall not be withdrawn into shelter, the hail shall come down upon them and they shall die.
Saa send nu hen, saml dit Kvæg og alt det, du har paa Marken; thi alle Mennesker og alt Kvæg, som findes paa Marken og ikke ere samlede i Hus, og som Hagelen slaar ned paa, skulle dø.
20 He that feared the word of Yahweh, among the servants of Pharaoh, made his servants and his cattle flee, under shelter:
Hvo som da frygtede Herrens Ord blandt Faraos Tjenere, han lod sine Tjenere og sit Kvæg fly til Husene;
21 but, whoso applied not his heart unto the word of Yahweh, left his servants and his cattle in the field.
men hvo som ikke lagde Herrens Ord paa sit Hjerte, lod sine Tjenere og sit Kvæg blive paa Marken.
22 Then said Yahweh unto Moses—Stretch forth thy hand over the heavens, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, —on man and on beast, and on every herb of the field in the land of Egypt.
Da sagde Herren til Mose: Ræk din Haand op mod Himmelen, og der skal vorde Hagel over hele Ægyptens Land, over Mennesker og over Kvæg og over alle Urter paa Marken i Ægyptens Land.
23 So Moses stretched forth his staff over the heavens, and, Yahweh, gave forth thunderings and hail, and there came fire towards the earth, —and Yahweh rained down hail, on the land of Egypt.
Og Mose rakte sin Stav op mod Himmelen, og Herren lod tordne og hagle, og der for Ild ned paa Jorden; og Herren lod regne Hagel over Ægyptens Land.
24 So there came to be hail, and fire catching hold of itself, in the midst of the hail, —exceeding heavy, such as had not been in all the land of Egypt, from the very time it became a nation.
Og der blev Hagel og Ild, som slyngede sig midt i Hagelen, saare svar, saadan som ikke havde været i hele Ægyptens Land, fra den Tid det havde været et Folks Land.
25 And the hail smote in all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and beast, —and every herb of the field, did the hail smite, and every tree of the field, did it shiver.
Og Hagelen nedslog i hele Ægyptens Land det, som var paa Marken, baade Mennesker og Kvæg; og alle Urter paa Marken slog Hagelen og knækkede alle Træer paa Marken.
26 Only in the land of Goshen, where were the sons of Israel, was there no hail.
Alene i Gosen Land, hvor Israels Børn vare, faldt der ikke Hagel.
27 Then sent Pharaoh, and called for Moses and for Aaron, and said unto them—I have sinned this time, —Yahweh, is the righteous one, and, I and my people, are the wrong-doers.
Da sendte Farao hen og lod kalde ad Mose og Aron og sagde til dem: Jeg har syndet denne Gang; Herren er den retfærdige, men jeg og mit Folk ere de ugudelige.
28 Make ye request unto Yahweh, and it shall be enough without there being any more thunderings of God, and hail, —and I must a let you go, and not again shall ye delay.
Beder til Herren, at det maa være nok med den Guds Torden og Hagel, saa vil jeg lade eder fare, at I ikke skulle bie længere.
29 And Moses said unto him, As soon as I am gone out of the city, will I spread out my hands unto Yahweh, —the thunderings, shall cease, and, the hail, shall come no more, —that thou mayest know, that to Yahweh, belongeth the earth.
Og Mose sagde til ham: Naar jeg kommer ud af Staden, da vil jeg udbrede mine Hænder til Herren, saa skal Tordenen høre op, og Hagelen skal ikke falde mere, at du skal fornemme, at Jorden hører Herren til.
30 But as touching thee and thy servants, I know that not yet will ye stand in awe of Yahweh Elohim.
Dog om dig og dine Tjenere ved jeg, at I endnu ikke frygte for den Herre Guds Ansigt.
31 Now, the flax and the barley, were smitten, —for the barley, was in the ear, and, the flax, was in flower;
Da blev baade Hør og Byg nedslaget; thi Bygget var skudt i Aks og Hørren i Knevler.
32 but the wheat and the spelt, were not smitten, —for they were, not ripe.
Men Hveden og Spelten bleve ikke nedslagne; thi de vare endnu ikke skredne.
33 So Moses went away from Pharaoh out of the city, and spread out his hands unto Yahweh, —then did the thunderings and the hail cease, and, rain, was not poured out on the earth.
Og Mose gik fra Farao ud af Staden og udbredte sine Hænder til Herren; saa lod det af at tordne og hagle, og Regnen blev ikke mere udøst paa Jorden.
34 And when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunderings had ceased, he again sinned, —and made his heart dull, he, and his servants.
Der Farao saa, at det holdt op at regne og hagle og tordne, da syndede han endda; og han forhærdede sit Hjerte, han og hans Tjenere.
35 And the heart of Pharaoh waxed bold, and he did not let the sons of Israel go, —as spake Yahweh by the hand of Moses.
Saa blev Faraos Hjerte forhærdet, og han lod ikke Israels Børn fare, som Herren havde sagt ved Mose.
