Exodus 9
1 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Go in unto Pharaoh, and thou hast spoken unto him, Thus said Jehovah, 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 thou art refusing to send away, and art still keeping hold upon them,
你若不肯容他們去，仍舊強留他們，
3 lo, the hand of Jehovah is on thy cattle which [are] in the field, on horses, on asses, on camels, on herd, and on flock — a pestilence very grievous.
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 Jehovah hath separated between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt, and there doth not die a thing of all the sons of Israel's;
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 Jehovah setteth an appointed time, saying, To-morrow doth Jehovah do 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 Jehovah doth this thing on the morrow, and all the cattle of Egypt die, and of the cattle of the sons of Israel not one hath 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 sendeth, and lo, not even one of the cattle of Israel hath died, and the heart of Pharaoh is hard, and he hath 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 Jehovah saith unto Moses and unto Aaron, 'Take to you the fulness of your hands [of] soot of a furnace, and Moses hath sprinkled it towards 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 hath become small dust over all the land of Egypt, and it hath become on man and on cattle a boil breaking forth [with] blains, 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 sprinkleth it towards the heavens, and it is a boil [with] blains, 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 scribes have not been able to stand before Moses, because of the boil, for the boil hath been on the scribes, 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 Jehovah strengtheneth the heart of Pharaoh, and he hath not hearkened unto them, as Jehovah hath spoken unto 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 Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Rise early in the morning, and station thyself before Pharaoh, and thou hast said unto him, Thus said Jehovah, 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 unto thy heart, and on thy servants, and on thy people, so that thou knowest 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 smite thee, and thy people, with pestilence, and thou art 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 thee to stand, so as to show thee 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 thou art exalting thyself 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 lo, I am raining about [this] time to-morrow hail very grievous, such as hath not been in Egypt, even from the day of its being founded, even 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 thy cattle and all that thou hast in the field; every man and beast which is found in the field, and is not gathered into the house — come down on them hath the hail, 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 Jehovah among the servants of Pharaoh hath caused his servants and his cattle to flee unto 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 hath not set his heart unto the word of Jehovah leaveth his servants and his cattle 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 Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Stretch forth thy hand towards 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 stretcheth out his rod towards the heavens, and Jehovah hath given voices and hail, and fire goeth towards the earth, and Jehovah raineth 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 hath not been in all the land of Egypt since it hath 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 smiteth in all the land of Egypt all that [is] in the field, from man even unto beast, and every herb of the field hath the hail smitten, and every tree of the field it hath broken;
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 hath been no hail.
惟獨以色列人所住的歌珊地沒有冰雹。
27 And Pharaoh sendeth, and calleth for Moses and for Aaron, and saith unto them, 'I have sinned this time, Jehovah [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 ye supplication unto Jehovah, and plead that there be no voices of God and hail, and I send you away, and ye add not 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 saith unto him, 'At my going out of the city, I spread my palms unto Jehovah — the voices cease, and the hail is not any more, so that thou knowest that the earth [is] Jehovah'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 thou and thy servants — I have known that ye are not yet afraid of the face of Jehovah 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 smitten, 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 smitten, 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 goeth out from Pharaoh, [from] the city, and spreadeth his hands unto Jehovah, and the voices and the hail cease, and rain hath 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 seeth that the rain hath ceased, and the hail and the voices, and he continueth to sin, and hardeneth 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 hath not sent the sons of Israel away, as Jehovah hath 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。
