¹蝗灾

¹And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Go in unto Pharaoh, for I have declared hard his heart, and the heart of his servants, so that I set these My signs in their midst,

²并且要你把愚弄埃及人的事，和我在他们中间显出的神迹，都讲给你的子孙听；使你们知道我是耶和华。”

²and so that thou recountest in the ears of thy son, and of thy son`s son, that which I have done in Egypt, and My signs which I have set among them, and ye have known that I [am] Jehovah.`

³摩西和亚伦就到法老那里去，对他说：“耶和华希伯来人的　神这样说：‘你拒绝在我面前谦卑要到几时呢？让我的人民离开吧，使他们可以事奉我。

³And Moses cometh in — Aaron also — unto Pharaoh, and they say unto him, `Thus said Jehovah, God of the Hebrews, Until when hast thou refused to be humbled at My presence? send My people away, and they serve Me,

⁴如果你拒绝让我的人民离开，看哪！明天我要使蝗虫进入你的境界；

⁴for if thou art refusing to send My people away, lo, I am bringing in to-morrow the locust into thy border,

⁵蝗虫必遮盖地面，甚至人不能看见地；蝗虫必吃尽那避过灾难余剩的，那没有受冰雹击打，剩下留给你们的；它们也必吃尽田间给你们生长起来的一切树木。

⁵and it hath covered the eye of the land, and none is able to see the land, and it hath eaten the remnant of that which is escaped, which is left to you from the hail, and it hath eaten every tree which is springing for you out of the field;

⁶蝗虫必充满了你的宫殿，你所有臣仆的房屋，和所有埃及人的房屋；这是你祖宗和你祖宗的祖宗自从在世以来，直到今日，所没有见过的。’”摩西就转身，离开法老出去了。

⁶and they have filled thy houses, and the houses of all thy servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians, which neither thy fathers nor thy father`s fathers have seen, since the day of their being on the ground unto this day,` — and he turneth and goeth out from Pharaoh.

⁷法老的臣仆对法老说：“这人成为我们的网罗要到几时呢？让这些人离开吧，使他们可以事奉耶和华他们的　神；埃及已经毁灭了，你还不知道吗？”

⁷And the servants of Pharaoh say unto him, `Until when doth this [one] become a snare to us? send the men away, and they serve Jehovah their God; knowest thou not yet that Egypt hath perished?`

⁸于是，摩西和亚伦被召回来到法老那里。法老对他们说：“你们去事奉耶和华你们的　神吧，但那些要去的是谁呢？”

⁸And Moses is brought back — Aaron also — unto Pharaoh, and he saith unto them, `Go, serve Jehovah your God; — who and who [are] those going?`

⁹摩西回答：“我们要和我们年少的与年老的同去，要和我们的儿女同去，也要和我们的羊群与牛群同去，因为我们必须向耶和华守节。”

⁹And Moses saith, `With our young ones, and with our aged ones, we go, with our sons, and with our daughters, with our flock, and our herd, we go, for we have a festival to Jehovah.`

¹⁰法老对他们说：“我让你们和你们的孩子离开的时候，愿耶和华与你们同在；你们要谨慎，因为有祸患在你们面前。

¹⁰And he saith unto them, `Be it so, Jehovah [be] with you when I send you and your infants away; see — for evil [is] before your faces;

¹¹不可以这样，只有你们的男子可以去事奉耶和华，因为这原是你们要求的。”于是把他们从法老面前赶出去。

¹¹not so! go now, ye who [are] men, and serve Jehovah, for that ye are seeking;` and [one] casteth them out from the presence of Pharaoh.

¹²耶和华对摩西说：“你要向埃及地伸手，使蝗虫上埃及地来，吃尽地上所有的蔬菜，就是受冰雹击打后留下的。”

¹²And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Stretch out thy hand against the land of Egypt for the locust, and it goeth up against the land of Egypt, and doth eat every herb of the land — all that the hail hath left.`

¹³摩西就向埃及地伸杖，整整的一日一夜，耶和华把东风吹在地上；到了早晨，东风把蝗虫吹来了。

¹³And Moses stretcheth out his rod against the land of Egypt, and Jehovah hath led an east wind over the land all that day, and all the night; the morning hath been, and the east wind hath lifted up the locust.

¹⁴蝗虫上到埃及全地来，停留在埃及全境。它们非常众多，以前没有像这样多的蝗虫，以后也没有。

¹⁴And the locust goeth up against all the land of Egypt, and resteth in all the border of Egypt — very grievous: before it there hath not been such a locust as it, and after it there is none such;

¹⁵蝗虫遮盖了整个地面，以致大地都变黑了。它们吃尽了地上一切蔬菜，和树上所有的果子，就是受冰雹击打后留下来的。这样，在埃及全地，无论是树木，或田间的蔬菜，连一点青的也没有留下。

¹⁵and it covereth the eye of all the land, and the land is darkened; and it eateth every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail hath left, and there hath not been left any green thing in the trees, or in the herb of the field, in all the land of Egypt.`

¹⁶于是，法老急忙把摩西和亚伦召了来，说：“我得罪了耶和华你们的　神，也得罪了你们。

¹⁶And Pharaoh hasteth to call for Moses and for Aaron, and saith, `I have sinned against Jehovah your God, and against you,

¹⁷现在求你只这一次赦免我的罪，也请你们求告耶和华你们的　神，使这一次的死亡离开我。”

¹⁷and now, bear with, I pray you, my sin, only this time, and make ye supplication to Jehovah your God, that He turn aside from off me only this death.`

¹⁸摩西就离开法老出来，祈求耶和华。

¹⁸And he goeth out from Pharaoh, and maketh supplication unto Jehovah,

¹⁹耶和华转了非常强大的西风，把蝗虫吹起来了，投进红海里；在埃及全境，连一只蝗虫也没留下。

¹⁹and Jehovah turneth a very strong sea wind, and it lifteth up the locust, and bloweth it into the Red Sea — there hath not been left one locust in all the border of Egypt;

²⁰但是耶和华使法老的心刚硬，以致法老不肯让以色列人离开。

²⁰and Jehovah strengtheneth the heart of Pharaoh, and he hath not sent the sons of Israel away.

²¹黑暗之灾耶和华对摩西说：“你要向天举手，使黑暗临到埃及地，这黑暗是可以触摸的。”

²¹And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Stretch out thy hand towards the heavens, and there is darkness over the land of Egypt, and the darkness is felt.`

²²摩西向天伸手，幽暗就临到埃及全地三天之久。

²²And Moses stretcheth out his hand towards the heavens, and there is darkness — thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days;

²³三天之内，人彼此不能看见，谁也不能起来离开自己的地方；但是在所有以色列人居住的地方都有亮光。

²³they have not seen one another, and none hath risen from his place three days; and to all the sons of Israel there hath been light in their dwellings.`

²⁴法老就把摩西召了来，说：“你们去事奉耶和华吧，你们的孩子也可以与你们同去；只是要把你们的羊群和牛群留下来。”

²⁴And Pharaoh calleth unto Moses and saith, `Go ye, serve Jehovah, only your flock and your herd are stayed, your infants also go with you;`

²⁵摩西回答：“你也要把献祭用的祭物和燔祭交给我们，使我们可以献给耶和华我们的　神。

²⁵and Moses saith, `Thou also dost give in our hand sacrifices and burnt-offerings, and we have prepared for Jehovah our God;

²⁶我们的牲畜也要与我们同去，连一只也不留下；因为我们要从它们当中取出一些来事奉耶和华我们的　神；我们没有到达之前，还不知道要用什么事奉耶和华。”

²⁶and also our cattle doth go with us, there is not left a hoof, for from it we do take to serve Jehovah our God; and we — we know not how we do serve Jehovah till our going thither.`

²⁷但耶和华使法老心里刚硬，因此他不愿意让他们离开。

²⁷And Jehovah strengtheneth the heart of Pharaoh, and he hath not been willing to send them away;

²⁸法老对摩西说：“你离开我去吧，你要小心，不要再见我的面；因为你再见我面的时候，你必定死。”

²⁸and Pharaoh saith to him, `Go from me, take heed to thyself, add not to see my face, for in the day thou seest my face thou diest;`

²⁹摩西回答：“你说对了，我不再见你的面了。”

²⁹and Moses saith, `Rightly hast thou spoken, I add not any more to see thy face.`
