Ang Ikalimang Salot: Ang Pagkamatay ng mga Hayop
9 Dahil dito, sinabi ni Yahweh kay Moises, “Pumunta ka sa Faraon at sabihin mong ipinapasabi ni Yahweh, ng Diyos ng mga Hebreo, na payagan na niyang umalis ang mga Israelita upang sumamba sa akin. 2 Kapag pinigil pa niya kayo, 3 paparusahan ko ng kakila-kilabot na salot ang kanyang mga hayop: ang mga kabayo, asno, kamelyo, baka, tupa at kambing. 4 Mamamatay ang lahat ng mga hayop ng mga Egipcio, ngunit isa mang hayop ng mga Israelita ay walang mamamatay. 5 Naitakda ko na ang oras, bukas ito mangyayari.”
6 Kinabukasan, ginawa nga ni Yahweh ang kanyang sinabi at namatay ang lahat ng hayop ng mga Egipcio, ngunit kahit isa'y walang namatay sa hayop ng mga Israelita. 7 At nang patingnan ng Faraon, wala ngang namatay sa mga hayop ng mga Israelita. Ngunit nagmatigas pa rin ito at ayaw pa ring payagan ang mga Israelita.
Ang Ikaanim na Salot: Ang mga Pigsa
8 Sinabi ni Yahweh kina Moises at Aaron, “Dumakot kayo ng abo sa pugon at ito'y pataas na ihahagis ni Moises na nakikita ng Faraon. 9 Mapupuno ng pinong alikabok ang buong Egipto at ang lahat ng tao at hayop sa lupain ay matatadtad ng mga pigsang nagnanaknak.” 10 Kumuha(A) nga sila ng abo sa pugon at pumunta sa Faraon. Pagdating doon, pataas na inihagis ni Moises ang abo at natadtad nga ng mga pigsang nagnanaknak ang mga tao't mga hayop sa buong Egipto. 11 Ang mga salamangkero'y hindi na nakaharap kay Moises sapagkat sila ma'y tadtad rin ng mga pigsang nagnanaknak. 12 Samantala, ang Faraon ay pinagmatigas pa rin ni Yahweh. Hindi nito pinansin ang mga Israelita, tulad ng sinabi ni Yahweh kay Moises.
Ang Ikapitong Salot: Ang Malakas na Ulan ng Yelo
13 Sinabi ni Yahweh kay Moises, “Bukas ng umagang-umaga, pumunta ka sa Faraon. Sabihin mong iniuutos ko na payagan na niyang sumamba sa akin ang mga Israelita. 14 Kapag hindi pa siya pumayag, magpapadala ako ng matinding salot sa kanya, sa kanyang mga tauhan at nasasakupan, upang malaman nilang ako'y walang katulad sa buong daigdig. 15 Kung siya at ang buong bayan ay pinadalhan ko agad ng salot na sakit, sana'y patay na silang lahat. 16 Ngunit(B) hindi ko ginawa iyon upang ipakita sa kanya ang aking kapangyarihan at sa gayo'y maipahayag ang aking pangalan sa buong daigdig. 17 Ngunit hanggang ngayo'y hinahadlangan pa niya ang aking bayan, at ayaw pa rin niyang payagang umalis. 18 Kaya, bukas sa ganitong oras, pauulanan ko sila ng malalaking tipak ng yelo na walang kasinlakas sa buong kasaysayan ng Egipto. 19 Pasilungin mo ang lahat ng tao at isilong ang lahat ng hayop, sapagkat lahat ng bagsakan nito ay mamamatay.” 20 Ang ibang tauhan ng Faraon ay natakot sa ipinasabi ni Yahweh kaya pinasilong nila ang kanilang mga alipin at mga hayop 21 ngunit ipinagwalang-bahala ito ng iba at hinayaan nila sa labas ang kanilang mga alipin at mga hayop.
22 Sinabi ni Yahweh kay Moises, “Iunat mong pataas ang iyong kamay at uulan ng malalaking tipak ng yelo sa buong Egipto, at babagsak ito sa mga tao't mga hayop na nasa labas, pati sa mga halaman.” 23 Itinaas nga ni Moises ang kanyang tungkod. Gumuhit ang kidlat, dumagundong ang kulog at umulan ng malalaking tipak ng yelo sa buong Egipto. 24 Malakas(C) na malakas ang pag-ulan ng malalaking tipak ng yelo at sunud-sunod ang pagkidlat. Ito ang pinakamalakas na pag-ulan ng yelo sa kasaysayan ng Egipto. 25 Bumagsak ito sa buong Egipto at namatay ang lahat ng hindi nakasilong, maging tao man o hayop. Nasalanta ang lahat ng mabagsakan, pati mga halaman at mga punongkahoy. 26 Ngunit ang Goshen na tinitirhan ng mga Israelita ay hindi naulanan ng yelong ito.
27 Kaya, ipinatawag ng Faraon sina Moises at Aaron. Sinabi niya, “Tinatanggap ko ngayon na nagkasala ako kay Yahweh. Siya ang matuwid at kami ng aking mga kababayan ang mali. 28 Ipanalangin ninyo kami sa kanya sapagkat hirap na hirap na kami sa pag-ulan ng malalaking tipak ng yelo at sa malalakas na kulog. Ipinapangako kong kayo'y papayagan ko nang umalis sa lalong madaling panahon.”
29 Sinabi ni Moises, “Pagkalabas ko ng lunsod, mananalangin ako kay Yahweh. Mawawala ang mga kulog at titigil ang pag-ulan ng malalaking tipak ng yelo. Sa gayo'y malalaman ninyo na si Yahweh ang siyang may-ari ng daigdig, 30 kahit alam kong kayo at ang inyong mga tauhan ay hindi pa natatakot sa Panginoong Yahweh.”
31 Ang mga tanim na lino at ang mga sebada ay sirang-sira sapagkat may uhay na ang sebada at namumulaklak na ang lino. 32 Ngunit hindi napinsala ang trigo at ang espelta sapagkat huling tumubo ang mga ito.
33 Umalis si Moises at lumabas ng lunsod. Nanalangin siya kay Yahweh at tumigil ang kulog, ang ulan at ang pagbagsak ng malalaking tipak ng yelo. 34 Nang makita ng Faraon na tumigil na ang ulan at wala nang kulog, nagmatigas na naman siya. Dahil dito, muli siyang nagkasala pati ang kanyang mga tauhan. 35 Lalo siyang nagmatigas sa pagpigil sa mga Israelita, tulad ng sinabi ni Yahweh kay Moises.
Exodus 9
New International Version
The Plague on Livestock
9 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh and say to him, ‘This is what the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, says: “Let my people go, so that they may worship(A) me.” 2 If you refuse to let them go and continue to hold them back, 3 the hand(B) of the Lord will bring a terrible plague(C) on your livestock in the field—on your horses, donkeys and camels and on your cattle, sheep and goats. 4 But the Lord will make a distinction between the livestock of Israel and that of Egypt,(D) so that no animal belonging to the Israelites will die.’”
5 The Lord set a time and said, “Tomorrow the Lord will do this in the land.” 6 And the next day the Lord did it: All the livestock(E) of the Egyptians died,(F) but not one animal belonging to the Israelites died. 7 Pharaoh investigated and found that not even one of the animals of the Israelites had died. Yet his heart(G) was unyielding and he would not let the people go.(H)
The Plague of Boils
8 Then the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “Take handfuls of soot from a furnace and have Moses toss it into the air in the presence of Pharaoh. 9 It will become fine dust over the whole land of Egypt, and festering boils(I) will break out on people and animals throughout the land.”
10 So they took soot from a furnace and stood before Pharaoh. Moses tossed it into the air, and festering boils broke out on people and animals. 11 The magicians(J) could not stand before Moses because of the boils that were on them and on all the Egyptians. 12 But the Lord hardened Pharaoh’s heart(K) and he would not listen(L) to Moses and Aaron, just as the Lord had said to Moses.
The Plague of Hail
13 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Get up early in the morning, confront Pharaoh and say to him, ‘This is what the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, says: Let my people go, so that they may worship(M) me, 14 or this time I will send the full force of my plagues against you and against your officials and your people, so you may know(N) that there is no one like(O) me in all the earth. 15 For by now I could have stretched out my hand and struck you and your people(P) with a plague that would have wiped you off the earth. 16 But I have raised you up[a] for this very purpose,(Q) that I might show you my power(R) and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth. 17 You still set yourself against my people and will not let them go. 18 Therefore, at this time tomorrow I will send the worst hailstorm(S) that has ever fallen on Egypt, from the day it was founded till now.(T) 19 Give an order now to bring your livestock and everything you have in the field to a place of shelter, because the hail will fall on every person and animal that has not been brought in and is still out in the field, and they will die.’”
20 Those officials of Pharaoh who feared(U) the word of the Lord hurried to bring their slaves and their livestock inside. 21 But those who ignored(V) the word of the Lord left their slaves and livestock in the field.
22 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward the sky so that hail will fall all over Egypt—on people and animals and on everything growing in the fields of Egypt.” 23 When Moses stretched out his staff toward the sky, the Lord sent thunder(W) and hail,(X) and lightning flashed down to the ground. So the Lord rained hail on the land of Egypt; 24 hail fell and lightning flashed back and forth. It was the worst storm in all the land of Egypt since it had become a nation.(Y) 25 Throughout Egypt hail struck everything in the fields—both people and animals; it beat down everything growing in the fields and stripped every tree.(Z) 26 The only place it did not hail was the land of Goshen,(AA) where the Israelites were.(AB)
27 Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron. “This time I have sinned,”(AC) he said to them. “The Lord is in the right,(AD) and I and my people are in the wrong. 28 Pray(AE) to the Lord, for we have had enough thunder and hail. I will let you go;(AF) you don’t have to stay any longer.”
29 Moses replied, “When I have gone out of the city, I will spread out my hands(AG) in prayer to the Lord. The thunder will stop and there will be no more hail, so you may know that the earth(AH) is the Lord’s. 30 But I know that you and your officials still do not fear(AI) the Lord God.”
31 (The flax and barley(AJ) were destroyed, since the barley had headed and the flax was in bloom. 32 The wheat and spelt,(AK) however, were not destroyed, because they ripen later.)
33 Then Moses left Pharaoh and went out of the city. He spread out his hands toward the Lord; the thunder and hail stopped, and the rain no longer poured down on the land. 34 When Pharaoh saw that the rain and hail and thunder had stopped, he sinned again: He and his officials hardened their hearts. 35 So Pharaoh’s heart(AL) was hard and he would not let the Israelites go, just as the Lord had said through Moses.
