¹蝗災耶和華對摩西說：“你要到法老那裡去，因為我已經使他的心和他臣僕的心剛硬，為要在他們中間顯出我這些神蹟；

¹Yahweh said to Moses, “Go in to Pharaoh, for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I may show these my signs in their midst,

²並且要你把愚弄埃及人的事，和我在他們中間顯出的神蹟，都講給你的子孫聽；使你們知道我是耶和華。”

²and that you may tell in the hearing of your son, and of your son’s son, what things I have done to Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; that you may know that I am Yahweh.”

³摩西和亞倫就到法老那裡去，對他說：“耶和華希伯來人的　神這樣說：‘你拒絕在我面前謙卑要到幾時呢？讓我的人民離開吧，使他們可以事奉我。

³Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and said to him, “This is what Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews, says: ‘How long will you refuse to humble yourself before me? Let my people go, that they may serve me.

⁴如果你拒絕讓我的人民離開，看哪！明天我要使蝗蟲進入你的境界；

⁴Or else, if you refuse to let my people go, behold, tomorrow I will bring locusts into your country,

⁵蝗蟲必遮蓋地面，甚至人不能看見地；蝗蟲必吃盡那避過災難餘剩的，那沒有受冰雹擊打，剩下留給你們的；牠們也必吃盡田間給你們生長起來的一切樹木。

⁵and they shall cover the surface of the earth, so that one won’t be able to see the earth. They shall eat the residue of that which has escaped, which remains to you from the hail, and shall eat every tree which grows for you out of the field.

⁶蝗蟲必充滿了你的宮殿，你所有臣僕的房屋，和所有埃及人的房屋；這是你祖宗和你祖宗的祖宗自從在世以來，直到今日，所沒有見過的。’”摩西就轉身，離開法老出去了。

⁶Your houses shall be filled, and the houses of all your servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians; as neither your fathers nor your fathers’ fathers have seen, since the day that they were on the earth to this day.’” He turned, and went out from Pharaoh.

⁷法老的臣僕對法老說：“這人成為我們的網羅要到幾時呢？讓這些人離開吧，使他們可以事奉耶和華他們的　神；埃及已經毀滅了，你還不知道嗎？”

⁷Pharaoh’s servants said to him, “How long will this man be a snare to us? Let the men go, that they may serve Yahweh, their God. Don’t you yet know that Egypt is destroyed?”

⁸於是，摩西和亞倫被召回來到法老那裡。法老對他們說：“你們去事奉耶和華你們的　神吧，但那些要去的是誰呢？”

⁸Moses and Aaron were brought again to Pharaoh, and he said to them, “Go, serve Yahweh your God; but who are those who will go?”

⁹摩西回答：“我們要和我們年少的與年老的同去，要和我們的兒女同去，也要和我們的羊群與牛群同去，因為我們必須向耶和華守節。”

⁹Moses said, “We will go with our young and with our old; with our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our herds will we go; for we must hold a feast to Yahweh.”

¹⁰法老對他們說：“我讓你們和你們的孩子離開的時候，願耶和華與你們同在；你們要謹慎，因為有禍患在你們面前。

¹⁰He said to them, “Yahweh be with you if I will let you go with your little ones! See, evil is clearly before your faces.

¹¹不可以這樣，只有你們的男子可以去事奉耶和華，因為這原是你們要求的。”於是把他們從法老面前趕出去。

¹¹Not so! Go now you who are men, and serve Yahweh; for that is what you desire!” They were driven out from Pharaoh’s presence.

¹²耶和華對摩西說：“你要向埃及地伸手，使蝗蟲上埃及地來，吃盡地上所有的蔬菜，就是受冰雹擊打後留下的。”

¹²Yahweh said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up on the land of Egypt, and eat every herb of the land, even all that the hail has left.”

¹³摩西就向埃及地伸杖，整整的一日一夜，耶和華把東風吹在地上；到了早晨，東風把蝗蟲吹來了。

¹³Moses stretched out his rod over the land of Egypt, and Yahweh brought an east wind on the land all that day, and all the night; and when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts.

¹⁴蝗蟲上到埃及全地來，停留在埃及全境。牠們非常眾多，以前沒有像這樣多的蝗蟲，以後也沒有。

¹⁴The locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested in all the borders of Egypt. They were very grievous. Before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after them shall be such.

¹⁵蝗蟲遮蓋了整個地面，以致大地都變黑了。牠們吃盡了地上一切蔬菜，和樹上所有的果子，就是受冰雹擊打後留下來的。這樣，在埃及全地，無論是樹木，或田間的蔬菜，連一點青的也沒有留下。

¹⁵For they covered the surface of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened, and they ate every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left. There remained nothing green, either tree or herb of the field, through all the land of Egypt.

¹⁶於是，法老急忙把摩西和亞倫召了來，說：“我得罪了耶和華你們的　神，也得罪了你們。

¹⁶Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste, and he said, “I have sinned against Yahweh your God, and against you.

¹⁷現在求你只這一次赦免我的罪，也請你們求告耶和華你們的　神，使這一次的死亡離開我。”

¹⁷Now therefore please forgive my sin again, and pray to Yahweh your God, that he may also take away from me this death.”

¹⁸摩西就離開法老出來，祈求耶和華。

¹⁸He went out from Pharaoh, and prayed to Yahweh.

¹⁹耶和華轉了非常強大的西風，把蝗蟲吹起來了，投進紅海裡；在埃及全境，連一隻蝗蟲也沒留下。

¹⁹Yahweh turned an exceeding strong west wind, which took up the locusts, and drove them into the Red Sea or, Sea of Reeds . There remained not one locust in all the borders of Egypt.

²⁰但是耶和華使法老的心剛硬，以致法老不肯讓以色列人離開。

²⁰But Yahweh hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he didn’t let the children of Israel go.

²¹黑暗之災耶和華對摩西說：“你要向天舉手，使黑暗臨到埃及地，這黑暗是可以觸摸的。”

²¹Yahweh said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward the sky, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt.”

²²摩西向天伸手，幽暗就臨到埃及全地三天之久。

²²Moses stretched out his hand toward the sky, and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days.

²³三天之內，人彼此不能看見，誰也不能起來離開自己的地方；但是在所有以色列人居住的地方都有亮光。

²³They didn’t see one another, neither did anyone rise from his place for three days; but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.

²⁴法老就把摩西召了來，說：“你們去事奉耶和華吧，你們的孩子也可以與你們同去；只是要把你們的羊群和牛群留下來。”

²⁴Pharaoh called to Moses, and said, “Go, serve Yahweh. Only let your flocks and your herds stay behind. Let your little ones also go with you.”

²⁵摩西回答：“你也要把獻祭用的祭物和燔祭交給我們，使我們可以獻給耶和華我們的　神。

²⁵Moses said, “You must also give into our hand sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice to Yahweh our God.

²⁶我們的牲畜也要與我們同去，連一隻也不留下；因為我們要從牠們當中取出一些來事奉耶和華我們的　神；我們沒有到達之前，還不知道要用甚麼事奉耶和華。”

²⁶Our livestock also shall go with us. Not a hoof shall be left behind, for of it we must take to serve Yahweh our God; and we don’t know with what we must serve Yahweh, until we come there.”

²⁷但耶和華使法老心裡剛硬，因此他不願意讓他們離開。

²⁷But Yahweh hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he wouldn’t let them go.

²⁸法老對摩西說：“你離開我去吧，你要小心，不要再見我的面；因為你再見我面的時候，你必定死。”

²⁸Pharaoh said to him, “Get away from me! Be careful to see my face no more; for in the day you see my face you shall die!”

²⁹摩西回答：“你說對了，我不再見你的面了。”

²⁹Moses said, “You have spoken well. I will see your face again no more.”
