Exodus 10
1 Et dixit Dominus ad Moysen: Ingredere ad Pharaonem: ego enim induravi cor eius, et servorum illius: ut faciam signa mea haec in eo,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Go in to Pharao: for I have hardened his heart and the heart of his servants, that these signs may come upon them; in order
2 et narres in auribus filii tui, et nepotum tuorum, quoties contriverim Aegyptios, et signa mea fecerim in eis: et sciatis quia ego Dominus.
that you may relate in the ears of your children, and to your children's children, in how many things I have mocked the Egyptians, and my wonders which I wrought among them; and you shall know that I [am] the Lord.
3 Introierunt ergo Moyses et Aaron ad Pharaonem, et dixerunt ei: Haec dicit Dominus Deus Hebraeorum: Usquequo non vis subiici mihi? dimitte populum meum, ut sacrificet mihi.
And Moses and Aaron went in before Pharao, and they said to him, These things says the Lord God of the Hebrews, How long do you refuse to reverence me? Send my people away, that they may serve me.
4 Sin autem resistis, et non vis dimittere eum: ecce ego inducam cras locustam in fines tuos:
But if you will not send my people away, behold, at this hour to-morrow I will bring an abundance of locusts upon all your coasts.
5 quae operiet superficiem terrae, ne quidquam eius appareat, sed comedatur quod residuum fuerit grandini. corrodet enim omnia ligna quae germinant in agris.
And they shall cover the face of the earth, and you shall not be able to see the earth; and they shall devour all that is left of the abundance of the earth, which the hail has left you, and shall devour every tree that grows for you on the land.
6 Et implebunt domos tuas, et servorum tuorum, et omnium Aegyptiorum: quantam non viderunt patres tui, et avi, ex quo orti sunt super terram, usque in praesentem diem. Avertitque se, et egressus est a Pharaone.
And your houses shall be filled, and the houses of your servants, and all the houses in all the land of the Egyptians; things which your fathers have never seen, nor their forefathers, from the day that they were upon the earth until this day. And Moses turned away and departed from Pharao.
7 Dixerunt autem servi Pharaonis ad eum: Usquequo patiemur hoc scandalum: dimitte homines, ut sacrificent Domino Deo suo. nonne vides quod perierit Aegyptus?
And the servants of Pharao say to him, How long shall this be a snare to us? send away the men, that they may serve their God; will you know that Egypt is destroyed?
8 Revocaveruntque Moysen, et Aaron ad Pharaonem: qui dixit eis: Ite, sacrificate Domino Deo vestro: quinam sunt qui ituri sunt?
And they brought back both Moses and Aaron to Pharao; and he said to them, Go and serve the Lord your God; but who are they that are going with you?
9 Ait Moyses: Cum parvulis nostris, et senioribus pergemus, cum filiis et filiabus, cum ovibus et armentis: est enim sollemnitas Domini Dei nostri.
And Moses said, We will go with the young and the old, with our sons, and daughters, and sheep, and oxen, for it is a feast of the Lord.
10 Et respondit Pharao: Sic Dominus sit vobiscum, quo modo ego dimittam vos, et parvulos vestros, cui dubium est quod pessime cogitetis?
And he said to them, So let the Lord be with you: as I [will] send you away, [must I send away] you store also? see that evil is attached to you.
11 Non fiet ita, sed ite tantum viri, et sacrificate Domino: hoc enim et ipsi petistis. Statimque eiecti sunt de conspectu Pharaonis.
Not so, but let the men go and serve God, for this you yourselves seek; and they cast them out from the presence of Pharao.
12 Dixit autem Dominus ad Moysen: Extende manum tuam super Terram Aegypti ad locustam, ut ascendat super eam, et devoret omnem herbam quae residua fuerit grandini.
And the Lord said to Moses, Stretch out your hand over the land of Egypt, and let the locust come up on the land, and it shall devour every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees, which the hail left.
13 Et extendit Moyses virgam super terram Aegypti: et Dominus induxit ventum urentem tota die illa, et nocte: et mane facto, ventus urens levavit locustas.
And Moses lifted up his rod towards heaven, and the Lord brought a south wind upon the earth, all that day and all that night: the morning dawned, and the south wind brought up the locusts,
14 Quae ascenderunt super universam Terram Aegypti: et sederunt in cunctis finibus Aegyptiorum innumerabiles, quales ante illud tempus non fuerant, nec postea futurae sunt.
and brought them up over all the land of Egypt. And they rested in very great abundance over all the borders of Egypt. Before them there were not such locusts, neither after them shall there be.
15 Operueruntque universam superficiem terrae, vastantes omnia. Devorata est igitur herba terrae, et quidquid pomorum in arboribus fuit, quae grando dimiserat: nihilque omnino virens relictum est in lignis, et in herbis terrae, in cuncta Aegypto.
And they covered the face of the earth, and the land was wasted, and they devoured all the herbage of the land, and all the fruit of the trees, which was left by the hail: there was no green thing left on the trees, nor on all the herbage of the field, in all the land of Egypt.
16 Quam ob rem festinus Pharao vocavit Moysen et Aaron, et dixit eis: Peccavi in Dominum Deum vestrum, et in vos.
And Pharao hasted to call Moses and Aaron, saying, I have sinned before the Lord your God, and against you;
17 Sed nunc dimittite peccatum mihi etiam hac vice, et rogate Dominum Deum vestrum, ut auferat a me mortem istam.
pardon therefore my sin yet this time, and pray to the Lord your God, and let him take away from me this death.
18 Egressusque Moyses de conspectu Pharaonis, oravit Dominum.
And Moses went forth from Pharao, and prayed to God.
19 Qui flare fecit ventum ab occidente vehementissimum, et arreptam locustam proiecit in Mare rubrum: non remansit ne una quidem in cunctis finibus Aegypti.
And the Lord brought in the opposite direction a strong wind from the sea, and took up the locusts and cast them into the Red Sea, and there was not one locust left in all the land of Egypt.
20 Et induravit Dominus cor Pharaonis, nec dimisit filios Israel.
And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharao, and he did not send away the children of Israel.
21 Dixit autem Dominus ad Moysen: Extende manum tuam in caelum: et sint tenebrae super Terram Aegypti tam densae, ut palpari queant.
And the Lord said to Moses, Stretch out your hand to heaven, and let there be darkness over the land of Egypt—darkness that may be felt.
22 Extenditque Moyses manum in caelum: et factae sunt tenebrae horribiles in universa Terra Aegypti tribus diebus.
And Moses stretched out his hand to heaven, and there was darkness very black, even a storm over all the land of Egypt three days.
23 Nemo vidit fratrem suum, nec movit se de loco in quo erat: ubicumque autem habitabant filii Israel, lux erat.
And for three days no man saw his brother, and no man rose up from his bed for three days: but all the children of Israel had light in all the places where they were.
24 Vocavitque Pharao Moysen et Aaron, et dixit eis: Ite, sacrificate Domino: oves tantum vestrae, et armenta remaneant, parvuli vestri eant vobiscum.
And Pharao called Moses and Aaron, saying, Go, serve the Lord your God, only leave your sheep and your oxen, and let your store depart with you.
25 Ait Moyses: Hostias quoque et holocausta dabis nobis, quae offeramus Domino Deo nostro.
And Moses said, Nay, but you shall give to us whole burnt offerings and sacrifices, which we will sacrifice to the Lord our God.
26 Cuncti greges pergent nobiscum: non remanebit ex eis ungula: quae necessaria sunt in cultum Domini Dei nostri: praesertim cum ignoremus quid debeat immolari, donec ad ipsum locum perveniamus.
And our cattle shall go with us, and we will not leave a hoof behind, for of them we will take to serve the Lord our God: but we know not in what manner we shall serve the Lord our God, until we arrive there.
27 Induravit autem Dominus cor Pharaonis, et noluit dimittere eos.
But the Lord hardened the heart of Pharao, and he would not let them go.
28 Dixitque Pharao ad Moysen: Recede a me, et cave ne ultra videas faciem meam: quocumque die apparueris mihi, morieris.
And Pharao says, Depart from me, beware of seeing my face again, for in what day you shall appear before me, you shall die.
29 Respondit Moyses: Ita fiet ut locutus es, non videbo ultra faciem tuam.
And Moses says, You have said, I will not appear in your presence again.
