1 And Jehovah said to Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus saith Jehovah the God of the Hebrews: Let my people go, that they may serve me.
2 For if thou refuse to let them go, and shalt retain them still,
3 behold, the hand of Jehovah shall be on thy cattle which is in the field, on the horses, on the asses, on the camels, on the oxen and on the sheep, with a very grievous plague.
4 And Jehovah will distinguish between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt; and there shall nothing die of all that the children of Israel have.
5 And Jehovah appointed a set time, saying, To-morrow will Jehovah do this thing in the land.
6 And Jehovah did this thing on the following day, and all the cattle of Egypt died; but of the cattle of the children of Israel died not one.
7 And Pharaoh sent, and behold, there was not one of the cattle of the Israelites dead. But the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the people go.
8 And Jehovah said to Moses and to Aaron, Take to yourselves handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses scatter it toward the heavens before the eyes of Pharaoh.
9 And it shall become fine dust over all the land of Egypt, and shall become boils on man and on cattle, breaking out {with} blisters, throughout the land of Egypt.
10 And they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it toward the heavens; and it became boils {with} blisters breaking out on man and on cattle.
11 And the scribes could not stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boils were on the scribes, and on all the Egyptians.
12 And Jehovah made Pharaoh's heart stubborn, and he did not hearken to them, as Jehovah had told Moses.
13 And Jehovah said to Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and set thyself before Pharaoh, and say to him, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of the Hebrews: Let my people go, that they may serve me.
14 For I will at this time send all my plagues to thy heart, and on thy bondmen, and on thy people; that thou mayest know that there is none like me in all the earth.
15 For now shall I put forth my hand, and I will smite thee and thy people with pestilence; and thou shalt be cut off from the earth.
16 And for this very cause have I raised thee up, to shew thee my power; and that my name may be declared in all the earth.
17 Dost thou still exalt thyself against my people, that thou wilt not let them go?
18 Behold, to-morrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as hath not been in Egypt since its foundation until now.
19 And now send, {and} secure thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field: all the men and the cattle that are found in the field, and are not brought home-on them the hail shall come down, and they shall die.
20 He that feared the word of Jehovah among the bondmen of Pharaoh made his bondmen and his cattle flee into the houses.
21 But he that did not regard the word of Jehovah left his bondmen and his cattle in the field.
22 And Jehovah said to Moses, Stretch out thy hand toward the heavens, that there may be hail throughout the land of Egypt, upon men, and upon cattle, and upon every herb of the field in the land of Egypt.
23 And Moses stretched out his staff toward the heavens, and Jehovah gave thunder and hail; and the fire ran along the ground; and Jehovah rained hail on the land of Egypt.
24 And there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as there had been none like it in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.
25 And the hail smote throughout the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both men and cattle; and the hail smote every herb of the field, and broke every tree of the field.
26 Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, was there no hail.
27 And Pharaoh sent, and called Moses and Aaron, and said to them, I have sinned this time: Jehovah is the righteous {one}, but I and my people are the wicked {ones}.
28 Intreat Jehovah that it may be enough, that there be no more thunder of God and hail; and I will let you go, and ye shall stay no longer!
29 And Moses said to him, When I go out of the city, I will spread out my hands to Jehovah: the thunder will cease, and there will be no more hail; that thou mayest know that the earth is Jehovah's.
30 But as to thee and thy bondmen, I know that ye do not yet fear Jehovah Elohim.
31 And the flax and the barley were smitten; for the barley was in the ear, and the flax was bolled.
32 But the wheat and the spelt were not smitten; for they were not come out into ear.
33 And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread out his hands to Jehovah; and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not {any more} poured on the earth.
34 And Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders had ceased, and he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he, and his bondmen.
35 And the heart of Pharaoh was stubborn, neither would he let the children of Israel go, as Jehovah had spoken by Moses.
1 耶和华对摩西说： "你要到法老那里去， 对他说： ‘耶和华希伯来人的 神这样说： "让我的人民离开这里， 使他们可以事奉我。"
2 如果你拒绝他们离开这里， 仍然强留他们，
3 看哪， 耶和华的手必用严重的瘟疫加在你田间的牲畜身上， 加在马、驴、骆驼、牛群、羊群身上。
4 耶和华必把以色列的牲畜和埃及人的牲畜分别出来； 所有属于以色列人的， 一只也不死去。’"
5 耶和华就定了时候， 说： "明天耶和华必在此地行这事。"
6 第二天， 耶和华就行了这事， 埃及人全部的牲畜都死了； 可是属于以色列人的牲畜， 一只也没有死去。
7 法老派人去看， 果然看见属于以色列人的牲畜， 连一只也没有死去。法老的心还是刚硬， 不肯让以色列人离开。
8 耶和华对摩西和亚伦说： "你们要两手拿满炉灰， 摩西要在法老眼前把炉灰向天上扬起来。
9 这炉灰必在埃及全地变为微尘， 在埃及全地的人和牲畜身上就必生出疹病和脓疮。"
10 摩西和亚伦取了炉灰， 站在法老面前； 摩西把炉灰向天上扬起来， 人和牲畜身上就生出了疹病和脓疮。
11 众术士因为生了疮的缘故， 不能站在摩西的面前； 因为众术士和所有埃及人身上都生了疮。
12 耶和华使法老心里刚硬， 他就不肯听摩西和亚伦的话， 就像耶和华对摩西所说的。
13 耶和华对摩西说： "你要清早起来， 站在法老面前， 对他说： ‘耶和华希伯来人的 神这样说： "让我的人民离开这里， 使他们可以事奉我。
14 因为这一次我要降下我的一切灾祸， 打击你和你的臣仆及人民， 为要使你知道在全地上没有神像我的。
15 如果我现在伸手用瘟疫击打你和你的人民， 你就早已从地上消灭了。
16 然而我使你存留， 是为了使你看见我的能力， 并且在全地上传讲我的名。
17 你仍然向我的人民自高， 不让他们离开吗？
18 看哪， 明天大约这个时候， 我必降下极重的冰雹， 在埃及自建国以来， 直到现在， 未曾有过这样的冰雹的。
19 所以， 你现在要派人去， 把你的牲畜和田间所有属于你的， 都收聚到安全的地方； 因为凡在田间发现的人和牲畜而不收回家里去的， 冰雹必落在他们身上， 他们就必死亡。"’"
20 法老的臣仆中有惧怕耶和华这话的， 就叫他的仆人和牲畜进屋里来。
21 但那不把耶和华这话放在心上的， 却把他的仆人和牲畜留在田里。
22 耶和华对摩西说： "你要向天伸杖， 使埃及全地都有冰雹， 落在人身上、在牲畜身上和埃及地田间所有的蔬菜上。"
23 摩西把手杖向天一伸， 耶和华就打雷（"打雷"原文作" 神的声音"）下雹， 有火落在地上； 耶和华使冰雹降在埃及地上。
24 那时有了冰雹， 冰雹与火混杂在一起， 十分严重； 埃及全地自从建国以来， 未曾有过这样的冰雹。
25 在埃及全地， 冰雹把田间的一切， 连人和牲畜都击打了； 冰雹又把田间的一切蔬菜击打了， 也把田间的一切树木打断了。
26 只有在以色列人所在的歌珊地， 没有冰雹。
27 于是， 法老把摩西和亚伦召了来， 对他们说： "这一次我犯了罪了； 耶和华是公义的， 我和我的人民是有罪的。
28 请你们祈求耶和华吧， 因为这雷声和冰雹已经够了； 我决意让你们离开， 你们不可再留在这里。"
29 摩西回答法老： "我一出城， 就必向耶和华伸手祷告， 雷声就必止住， 也不再有冰雹了， 好使你知道大地是属于耶和华的。
30 至于你和你的臣仆， 我知道你们在耶和华 神的面前还是没有惧怕的心。"
31 那时， 麻和大麦被冰雹击打了， 因为大麦已经吐穗， 麻也开了花。
32 只是小麦和粗麦却没有被击打， 因为它们还没有长成。
33 摩西离开法老出城去了， 就向耶和华伸手祷告， 雷声和冰雹就止住了， 雨也不再倾倒在地上了。
34 法老看见雨水、冰雹和雷声都止住了， 就更加犯罪， 他和他的臣仆都心里刚硬。
35 法老的心刚硬， 不肯让以色列人离开， 就像耶和华借着摩西所说的。
