Éxodo 9
1 Entonces Jehová dijo a Moisés: Entra a Faraón, y díle: Jehová, el Dios de los Hebreos, dice así: Deja ir a mi pueblo, para que me sirvan:
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Go to the king and say to him, ‘This is what Yahweh, the God [we] Hebrews [worship], says: “Allow my people to go, in order that they may worship me.
2 Porque si no lo quieres dejar ir, y aun los detuvieres,
If you still keep refusing to let them go [DOU],
3 He aquí, la mano de Jehová será sobre tus ganados que están en el campo, caballos, asnos, camellos, vacas, y ovejas con pestilencia gravísima:
I warn you that I will punish you with my power [MTY] by sending a terrible disease on all your animals—on your horses, donkeys, camels, on your cattle, and on your flocks [of sheep and goats].
4 Y Jehová hará separación entre los ganados de Israel, y los de Egipto, que nada muera de todo lo de los hijos de Israel:
But I, Yahweh, will distinguish between [what I do to] the animals that belong to the Israeli people and [what I do to] your animals. The result will be that no animal that belongs to the Israeli people will die.”’
5 Y Jehová señaló tiempo, diciendo: Mañana hará Jehová esta cosa en la tierra.
[Tell him that] I have determined/decided that tomorrow is the day that I will do this in this land.”
6 Y el día siguiente Jehová hizo esta cosa, que todo el ganado de Egipto murió; mas del ganado de los hijos de Israel no murió uno.
The next day Yahweh did just what he said [that he would do]. A terrible disease afflicted all of the Egyptians’ animals, and many of them [HYP] died. But none of the Israeli people’s animals died.
7 Entonces Faraón envió a ver, y he aquí que del ganado de los hijos de Israel no había muerto uno. Y el corazón de Faraón se agravó, y no dejó ir al pueblo.
The king sent [men to investigate], and they were surprised [to see] that none of the Israeli people’s animals had died. But [after they reported that to] the king, he continued to be stubborn [IDM], and he did not let the [Israeli] people go.
8 Y Jehová dijo a Moisés y a Aarón: Tomáos vuestros puños llenos de la ceniza de un horno, y espárzala Moisés hacia el cielo delante de Faraón.
Then Yahweh said to Aaron and Moses/me, “Take a few handfuls of ashes/soot from (a furnace/an oven where they burn lime), and let Moses throw them up into the air, in front of the king.
9 Y volverse ha en polvo sobre toda la tierra de Egipto, que en los hombres y en las bestias se volverá en sarna que eche vejigas, por toda la tierra de Egipto.
The [ashes/soot] will spread all over the country of Egypt like fine dust. And the ashes/soot will cause boils to afflict both the Egyptian people and their animals, all over the land.”
10 Y ellos tomaron la ceniza del horno, y pusiéronse delante de Faraón, y esparcióla Moisés hacia el cielo, y vino una sarna que echaba vejigas así en los hombres como en las bestias:
So they/we both got some ashes/soot and [went and] stood in front of the king. Moses/I threw the ashes/soot up into the air. The ashes/soot spread all over, causing boils to afflict the [Egyptian] people and their animals. All the boils became open sores.
11 Que los magos no podían estar delante de Moisés a causa de la sarna, porque hubo sarna en los magos, y en todos los Egipcios.
Even the men who worked magic had boils. The result was that [they were suffering so much that] they were not able to come to Moses/me, because the men who worked magic had boils just like all [the rest of] the Egyptian people.
12 Y Jehová endureció el corazón de Faraón para que no los oyese, como Jehová lo había dicho a Moisés.
But Yahweh caused the king to [continue to] be stubborn [IDM]. He did not pay any attention to what they/we [said], just as Yahweh had told Moses/me [would happen].
13 Entonces Jehová dijo a Moisés: Levántate de mañana, y ponte delante de Faraón, y díle: Jehová, el Dios de los Hebreos, dice así: Deja ir mi pueblo para que me sirva.
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Get up early [tomorrow] morning. Go and stand in front of the king and tell him that Yahweh God, the one that the Hebrew people [worship], says this: ‘Let my people go, in order that they may worship me [in the desert].
14 Porque de otra manera esta vez yo envío todas mis plagas a tu corazón, y en tus siervos, y en tu pueblo, para que entiendas, que no hay otro como yo en toda la tierra.
[If you do not let them go], this time I will [punish] with plagues [not only] your officials and the rest of your people, but I will punish you yourself [SYN], in order that you will know there is no [god] like me anywhere in the world.
15 Porque ahora yo extenderé mi mano para herirte a ti y a tu pueblo de pestilencia, y serás quitado de la tierra.
By this time I could have used my power [MTY] to strike you and your people with terrible diseases that would have wiped you all from the earth.
16 Porque a la verdad yo te he puesto para declarar en ti mi poderío, y que mi nombre sea contado en toda la tierra.
But I have let you live. The reason I have let you live is to show you my power, with the result that [people] all over the earth [HYP] will know how great I [MTY] am.
17 Tú aun te ensalzas contra mi pueblo para no dejarlos ir.
You are still acting proudly and refusing to let my people go.
18 Pues he aquí que mañana a estas horas yo haré llover granizo muy grave, cual nunca fue en Egipto, desde el día que se fundó hasta ahora.
So listen [to this]: About this time tomorrow I will cause very heavy hail to fall [in Egypt]. From the time Egypt first became [a country], there has never been a hailstorm [as bad as this one will be].
19 Envía pues, recoge tu ganado, y todo lo que tienes en el campo; porque todo hombre o animal que se hallare en el campo y no fuere recogido a casa, el granizo descenderá sobre él, y morirá.
So you should send [a message to everyone] to put their cattle, and everything else that they own that is [out] in the fields, under shelters. The hail will fall on every person and every animal that is out in the fields and that is not put under a shelter, and they will all die.’” [So Moses/I did what Yahweh said].
20 El de los siervos de Faraón, que temió la palabra de Jehová, hizo huir sus siervos y su ganado a casa:
Some of the king’s officials who heard what Yahweh had said became very afraid. So they put all their animals and their slaves under shelters.
21 Mas el que no puso en su corazón la palabra de Jehová, dejó sus siervos y sus ganados en el campo.
But those who did not pay any attention to what Yahweh had said left their slaves and their animals in the fields.
22 Y Jehová dijo a Moisés: Extiende tu mano hacia el cielo, para que venga granizo en toda la tierra de Egipto sobre los hombres y sobre las bestias, y sobre toda la yerba del campo en la tierra de Egipto.
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Raise your hand up toward the sky, in order that hail will fall all over the land of Egypt—on the people and on their animals and on all the plants in the fields.”
23 Y Moisés extendió su vara hacia el cielo, y Jehová hizo truenos, y fuego discurría por la tierra: y llovió Jehová granizo sobre la tierra de Egipto.
So Moses/I lifted his/my stick up toward the sky. And Yahweh sent down hail, all over the land of Egypt. There was also thunder and lightning.
24 Y hubo granizo, y fuego mezclado entre el granizo, muy grande cual nunca fue en toda la tierra de Egipto; desde que fue habitada.
While very heavy hail was falling, there was thunder, and lightning struck the ground. There had never been a hailstorm like that since Egypt first became a country.
25 Y aquel granizo hirió en toda la tierra de Egipto todo lo que estaba en el campo, así hombres como bestias: asimismo toda la yerba del campo hirió el granizo, y quebró todos los árboles del campo.
The hail struck everything that was in the fields all over Egypt—every person and every animal. The hail destroyed the plants in the fields and stripped [the leaves off] the trees.
26 Solamente en la tierra de Gosén, donde los hijos de Israel estaban, no hubo granizo.
Only in the Goshen region, where the Israeli people were [living], was there no hail.
27 Entonces Faraón envió a llamar a Moisés y a Aarón, y díjoles: Yo he pecado esta vez. Jehová es justo, y yo y mi pueblo impío.
Then the king sent [someone] to summon Aaron and Moses/me. [When they/we came to the king], he said to them/us, “This time [I admit that] I have sinned. What Yahweh [has done] is right, and what I and my people [have done] is wrong.
28 Orád a Jehová, y cesen los truenos de Dios y el granizo; y yo os dejaré ir, y no quedaréis más aquí.
(Pray to/Plead with) Yahweh [to cause it to stop]! [We] cannot [endure any more] of this thunder and hail! I will let your people go; they do not have to stay [here in Egypt] any longer.”
29 Y respondióle Moisés: En saliendo yo de la ciudad extenderé mis manos a Jehová, y los truenos cesarán, y no habrá más granizo, para que sepas que de Jehová es la tierra:
Moses/I replied, “As soon as I go out of this city, I will lift up my hands [and pray] to Yahweh. Then the thunder will cease, and no more hail [will fall]. [This will happen] in order that you will know that Yahweh, [not your gods], controls everything [that happens] on the earth.
30 Mas yo conozco a ti y a tus siervos de antes que temieseis de la presencia del Dios Jehová.
But as for you and your officials, I know that you do not yet fear Yahweh God.”
31 El lino y la cebada fueron heridos; porque la cebada estaba ya espigada, y el lino en caña.
When the hail fell, the flax was ruined because the buds were forming, and the barley was ruined because its grain was ripe.
32 Mas el trigo y el centeno no fueron heridos, porque eran tardíos.
But none of the wheat crops was ruined, because their shoots were still very small.
33 Y salido Moisés de con Faraón de la ciudad, extendió sus manos a Jehová, y cesaron los truenos y el granizo; y la lluvia no cayó más sobre la tierra.
So Moses/I left the king and went outside the city. He/I lifted up his/my hands toward Yahweh [and prayed]. Then the thunder and the hail stopped, and the rain also stopped falling on the land [of Egypt].
34 Y viendo Faraón, que la lluvia había cesado, y el granizo y los truenos, perseveró en pecar, y agravó su corazón él y sus siervos.
But when the king saw that the rain and the hail and the thunder had stopped, he sinned again. He and his officials continued to be stubborn [IDM].
35 Y el corazón de Faraón se endureció, y no dejó ir los hijos de Israel, como Jehová lo había dicho por mano de Moisés.
So, just as Yahweh had predicted by what he told Moses/me, the king did not allow the Israeli people to leave.
