The Lord Warns Pharaoh of Plague
1 Then the Lord said to Moses, "Go to Pharaoh and speak to him, 'This is what the Lord, the God of the Hebrews says: "Let My people go, so that they may serve Me. 2 For if you refuse to let them go and continue to hold them, 3 behold, the hand of the Lord will come with a very severe plague on your livestock which are in the field, on the horses, on the donkeys, on the camels, on the herds, and on the flocks. 4 But the Lord will make a distinction between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt, so that nothing will die of all that belongs to the sons of Israel."'"
1 耶和華吩咐摩西說，你進去見法老，對他說，耶和華希伯來人的神這樣說，容我的百姓去，好事奉我。2 你若不肯容他們去，仍舊強留他們，3 耶和華的手加在你田間的牲畜上，就是在馬、驢、駱駝、牛群、羊群上，必有重重的瘟疫。4 耶和華要分別以色列的牲畜和埃及的牲畜，凡屬以色列人的，一樣都不死。
The Livestock of Egypt Perish
5 And the Lord set a definite time, saying, "Tomorrow the Lord will do this thing in the land." 6 So the Lord did this thing on the next day, and all the livestock of Egypt died; but not one of the livestock of the sons of Israel died. 7 And Pharaoh sent men, and they learned that, behold, not even one of the livestock of Israel was dead. But the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the people go.
5 耶和華就定了時候，說，明天耶和華必在此地行這事。6 第二天耶和華就行這事，埃及的牲畜幾乎都死了，只是以色列人的牲畜一個都沒有死。7 法老打發人去看，誰知，以色列人的牲畜連一個都沒有死，法老的心卻是固執，不容百姓去。
The Plague of Boils
8 Then the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, "Take for yourselves handfuls of soot from a kiln, and Moses shall toss it toward the sky in the sight of Pharaoh. 9 Then it will become fine dust over all the land of Egypt, and will turn into boils breaking out with sores on every person and animal through all the land of Egypt." 10 So they took soot from a kiln, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses tossed it toward the sky, and it became boils breaking out with sores on every person and animal. 11 The soothsayer priests could not stand before Moses because of the boils, for the boils were on the soothsayer priests as well as on all the Egyptians. 12 But the Lord hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he did not listen to them, just as the Lord had spoken to Moses.
8 耶和華吩咐摩西亞倫說，你們取幾捧爐灰，摩西要在法老面前向天揚起來。9 這灰要在埃及全地變作塵土，在人身上和牲畜身上，成了起泡的瘡。10 摩西亞倫取了爐灰，站在法老面前，摩西向天揚起來，就在人身上和牲畜身上，成了起泡的瘡。11 行法術的在摩西面前站立不住，因為在他們身上，和一切埃及人身上，都有這瘡。12 耶和華使法老的心剛硬，不聽他們，正如耶和華對摩西所說的。
No One Like Me in All the Earth
13 Then the Lord said to Moses, "Rise up early in the morning and stand before Pharaoh and say to him, 'This is what the Lord, the God of the Hebrews says: "Let My people go, so that they may serve Me. 14 For this time I am going to send all My plagues on you and your servants and your people, so that you may know that there is no one like Me in all the earth. 15 For had I now put out My hand and struck you and your people with plague, you would then have been eliminated from the earth. 16 But indeed, for this reason I have allowed you to remain, in order to show you My power and in order to proclaim My name throughout the earth. 17 Still you exalt yourself against My people by not letting them go.
13 耶和華對摩西說，你清早起來，站在法老面前，對他說，耶和華希伯來人的神，這樣說，容我的百姓去，好事奉我。14 因為這一次我要叫一切的災殃臨到你，和你臣僕，並你百姓的身上，叫你知道在普天下沒有像我的。15 我若伸手用瘟疫攻擊你和你的百姓，你早就從地上除滅了。16 其實我叫你存立，是特要向你顯我的大能，並要使我的名傳遍天下。17 你還向我的百姓自高，不容他們去麼。
Warning of the Coming Hail
18 Behold, about this time tomorrow, I will send a very heavy hail, such as has not been seen in Egypt from the day it was founded until now. 19 So now, send word, bring your livestock and whatever you have in the field to safety. Every person and animal that is found in the field and is not brought home, when the hail comes down on them, will die."'" 20 Everyone among the servants of Pharaoh who feared the word of the Lord hurried to bring his servants and his livestock into the houses; 21 but everyone who did not pay regard to the word of the Lord left his servants and his livestock in the field.
18 到明天約在這時候，我必叫重大的冰雹降下，自從埃及開國以來，沒有這樣的冰雹。19 現在你要打發人把你的牲畜，和你田間一切所有的催進來，凡在田間不收回家的，無論是人是牲畜，冰雹必降在他們身上，他們就必死。20 法老的臣僕中懼怕耶和華這話的，便叫他的奴僕和牲畜，跑進家來。21 但那不把耶和華這話放在心上的，就將他的奴僕和牲畜，留在田裡。
The Lord Rains Hail on Egypt
22 Now the Lord said to Moses, "Reach out with your hand toward the sky, so that hail may fall on all the land of Egypt, on every person and animal, and on every plant of the field, throughout the land of Egypt." 23 So Moses reached out with his staff toward the sky, and the Lord sent thunder and hail, and fire ran down to the earth. And the Lord rained hail on the land of Egypt. 24 So there was hail, and fire flashing intermittently in the midst of the hail, which was very heavy, such as had not occurred in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation. 25 The hail struck everything that was in the field through all the land of Egypt, from people to animals; the hail also struck every plant of the field, and shattered every tree of the field. 26 Only in the land of Goshen, where the sons of Israel were, was there no hail.
22 耶和華對摩西說，你向天伸杖，使埃及遍地的人身上，和牲畜身上，並田間各樣菜蔬上，都有冰雹。23 摩西向天伸杖，耶和華就打雷下雹，有火閃到地上，耶和華下雹在埃及地上。24 那時，雹與火攙雜，甚是利害，自從埃及成國以來，遍地沒有這樣的。25 在埃及遍地，雹擊打了田間所有的人和牲畜，並一切的菜蔬，又打壞田間一切的樹木。26 惟獨以色列人所住的歌珊地，沒有冰雹。
Pharaoh Confesses His Sin
27 Then Pharaoh sent for Moses and Aaron, and said to them, "I have sinned this time; the Lord is the righteous one, and I and my people are the wicked ones. 28 Plead with the Lord, for there has been enough of God's thunder and hail; and I will let you go, and you shall stay no longer." 29 Moses said to him, "As soon as I go out of the city, I will spread out my hands to the Lord; the thunder will cease and there will no longer be hail, so that you may know that the earth is the Lord's. 30 But as for you and your servants, I know that you do not yet fear the Lord God." 31 (Now the flax and the barley were ruined, for the barley was in the ear and the flax was in bud.
27 法老打發人召摩西亞倫來，對他們說，這一次我犯了罪了，耶和華是公義的，我和我的百姓是邪惡的。28 這雷轟和冰雹已經夠了，請你們求耶和華，我就容你們去，不再留住你們。29 摩西對他說，我一出城，就要向耶和華舉手禱告，雷必止住，也不再有冰雹，叫你知道全地都是屬耶和華的。30 至於你和你的臣僕，我知道你們還是不懼怕耶和華神。31 那時，麻和大麥被雹擊打，因為大麥已經吐穗，麻也開了花。
Pharaoh Hardens His Heart Again
32 But the wheat and the spelt were not ruined, for they ripen late.) 33 So Moses left the city from his meeting with Pharaoh, and spread out his hands to the Lord; and the thunder and the hail stopped, and rain no longer poured on the earth. 34 But when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunder had stopped, he sinned again and hardened his heart, he and his servants. 35 So Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he did not let the sons of Israel go, just as the Lord had spoken through Moses.
32 只是小麥和粗麥沒有被擊打，因為還沒有長成。33 摩西離了法老出城，向耶和華舉手禱告，雷和雹就止住，雨也不再澆在地上了。34 法老見雨和雹與雷止住，就越發犯罪，他和他的臣僕都硬著心。35 法老的心剛硬，不容以色列人去，正如耶和華藉著摩西所說的。
