1 Then Yahweh said to Moses, "Go in to Pharaoh, and tell him, ‘This is what Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews, says: "Let my people go, that they may serve me. 2 For if you refuse to let them go, and hold them still, 3 behold, Yahweh’s hand is on your livestock which are in the field, on the horses, on the donkeys, on the camels, on the herds, and on the flocks with a very grievous pestilence. 4 Yahweh will make a distinction between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt; and nothing shall die of all that belongs to the children of Israel."’" 5 Yahweh appointed a set time, saying, "Tomorrow Yahweh shall do this thing in the land." 6 Yahweh did that thing on the next day; and all the livestock of Egypt died, but of the livestock of the children of Israel, not one died. 7 Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there was not so much as one of the livestock of the Israelites dead. But the heart of Pharaoh was stubborn, and he didn’t let the people go.
8 Yahweh said to Moses and to Aaron, "Take handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it toward the sky in the sight of Pharaoh. 9 It shall become small dust over all the land of Egypt, and shall be boils and blisters breaking out on man and on animal, throughout all the land of Egypt."
10 They took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it up toward the sky; and it became boils and blisters breaking out on man and on animal. 11 The magicians couldn’t stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boils were on the magicians and on all the Egyptians. 12 Yahweh hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he didn’t listen to them, as Yahweh had spoken to Moses.
13 Yahweh said to Moses, "Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and tell him, ‘This is what Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews, says: "Let my people go, that they may serve me. 14 For this time I will send all my plagues against your heart, against your officials, and against your people; that you may know that there is no one like me in all the earth. 15 For now I would have stretched out my hand, and struck you and your people with pestilence, and you would have been cut off from the earth; 16 but indeed for this cause I have made you stand: to show you my power, and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth, 17 because you still exalt yourself against my people, that you won’t let them go. 18 Behold, tomorrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as has not been in Egypt since the day it was founded even until now. 19 Now therefore command that all of your livestock and all that you have in the field be brought into shelter. The hail will come down on every man and animal that is found in the field, and isn’t brought home, and they will die."’"
20 Those who feared Yahweh’s word among the servants of Pharaoh made their servants and their livestock flee into the houses. 21 Whoever didn’t respect Yahweh’s word left his servants and his livestock in the field.
22 Yahweh said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand toward the sky, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, on man, and on animal, and on every herb of the field, throughout the land of Egypt."
23 Moses stretched out his rod toward the heavens, and Yahweh sent thunder and hail; and lightning flashed down to the earth. Yahweh rained hail on the land of Egypt. 24 So there was very severe hail, and lightning mixed with the hail, such as had not been in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation. 25 The hail struck throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and animal; and the hail struck 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, there was no hail.
27 Pharaoh sent and called for Moses and Aaron, and said to them, "I have sinned this time. Yahweh is righteous, and I and my people are wicked. 28 Pray to Yahweh; for there has been enough of mighty thunderings and hail. I will let you go, and you shall stay no longer."
29 Moses said to him, "As soon as I have gone out of the city, I will spread out my hands to Yahweh. The thunders shall cease, and there will not be any more hail; that you may know that the earth is Yahweh’s. 30 But as for you and your servants, I know that you don’t yet fear Yahweh God."
31 The flax and the barley were struck, for the barley had ripened and the flax was blooming. 32 But the wheat and the spelt were not struck, for they had not grown up. 33 Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread out his hands to Yahweh; and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured on the earth. 34 When Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders had ceased, he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he and his servants. 35 The heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he didn’t let the children of Israel go, just as Yahweh had spoken through 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。
