Exodus 10
Jubilee Bible 2000
10 ¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh for I have hardened his heart and the heart of his slaves that I might show these my signs among them
2 and that thou may tell in the ears of thy sons and of thy son’s sons the things I did in Egypt and my signs which I gave among them and that ye may know that I am the LORD.
3 Then Moses and Aaron came in unto Pharaoh and said unto him, Thus hath the LORD God of the Hebrews said, How long wilt thou refuse to humble thyself before me? Let my people go that they may serve me.
4 For if thou refuse to let my people go, behold, tomorrow I will bring the locusts into thy borders,
5 and they shall cover the face of the earth that one will not be able to see the earth, and they shall eat the residue of that which is escaped, which remains unto you from the hail and shall eat every tree which produces fruit for you out of the field:
6 And they shall fill thy houses and the houses of all thy slaves and the houses of all the Egyptians, which neither thy fathers, nor thy fathers’ fathers have seen since the day that they were upon the earth unto this day. And he turned himself and went out from Pharaoh.
7 Then Pharaoh’s slaves said unto him, How long shall this man be a snare unto us? Let the men go that they may serve the LORD their God; knowest thou not yet that Egypt is destroyed?
8 And Moses and Aaron were brought again unto Pharaoh; and he said unto them, Go, serve the LORD your God. Who are those that shall go?
9 And Moses replied, We must go with our young and with our old, with our sons and with our daughters, with our sheep and with our cows we must go; for we have a solemn feast unto the LORD.
10 And he said unto them, Even if the LORD be with you, how can I let you go with your little ones; look at the malice which is before your face.
11 It shall not be so: go now ye that are men and serve the LORD; for that is what ye did desire. And they were driven out from Pharaoh’s presence.
12 ¶ Then the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the land of Egypt to bring the locusts, that they may come up upon the land of Egypt and eat all the grass of the land and all that the hail has left.
13 And Moses stretched forth his rod over the land of Egypt, and the LORD brought an east wind upon the land all that day, and all that night; and when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts.
14 And the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt and landed in all the borders of Egypt. Very grievous were they; before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after them shall there be such.
15 For they covered the face of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened; and they ate all the grass of the land and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left; and there did not remain any green thing in the trees or in the grass of the field, through all the land of Egypt.
16 Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste; and he said, I have sinned against the LORD your God and against you.
17 Now therefore forgive, I pray thee, my sin only this once, and intreat the LORD your God, that he may take away from me this death only.
18 And he went out from Pharaoh and intreated the LORD.
19 And the LORD turned a mighty strong west wind, which took away the locusts and cast them into the Red Sea; there remained not one locust in all the borders of Egypt.
20 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, so that he would not let the sons of Israel go.
21 ¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt.
22 And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven, and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days.
23 They did not see one another, neither did any rise from his place for three days; but all the sons of Israel had light in their dwellings.
24 Then Pharaoh called unto Moses and said, Go, serve the LORD; only let your sheep and your cows remain; let your little ones also go with you.
25 And Moses replied, Thou also must give us sacrifices and burnt offerings that we may sacrifice unto the LORD our God.
26 Our cattle shall also go with us; not a hoof shall be left behind; for we must take thereof to serve the LORD our God; and we do not know with what we must serve the LORD until we arrive there.
27 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he would not let them go.
28 And Pharaoh said unto him, Go from me, take heed to thyself to see my face no more; for in the day that thou seest my face thou shalt die.
29 And Moses replied, Thou hast spoken well, I will not see thy face again.

Octava plaga: las langostas
10 Entonces el Señor dijo a Moisés: «Preséntate[a] a Faraón, porque Yo he endurecido[b] su corazón y el corazón de sus siervos(A), para mostrar[c] estas señales Mías en medio de ellos[d], 2 y para que cuentes a[e] tu hijo y a tu nieto, cómo me he burlado de los egipcios(B), y cómo he mostrado[f] Mis señales entre ellos, y para que ustedes sepan que Yo soy el Señor(C)».
3 Moisés y Aarón fueron a Faraón, y le dijeron: «Así dice el Señor, el Dios de los hebreos: “¿Hasta cuándo rehusarás humillarte delante de Mí(D)? Deja ir a Mi pueblo, para que me sirva(E). 4 Porque si te niegas a dejar ir a Mi pueblo, entonces mañana traeré langostas a tu territorio. 5 Cubrirán la superficie de la tierra, de modo que nadie podrá ver el suelo. También comerán el resto de lo que ha escapado(F), lo que les ha quedado del granizo, y comerán todo árbol que crece para ustedes en el campo. 6 Llenarán tus casas, las casas de todos tus siervos y las casas de todos los egipcios(G), algo que ni tus padres ni tus abuelos han visto desde el día que vinieron al mundo[g] hasta hoy”». Moisés se volvió y salió de la presencia de[h] Faraón.
7 Y los siervos de Faraón le dijeron: «¿Hasta cuándo este hombre nos será causa de ruina[i](H)? Deje ir a los hombres para que sirvan al Señor su Dios(I). ¿No se da cuenta de[j] que Egipto está destruido?». 8 Entonces hicieron volver a Moisés y Aarón ante Faraón(J), y él les dijo: «Vayan, sirvan al Señor su Dios(K). ¿Quiénes[k] son los que han de ir?». 9 Y Moisés respondió: «Iremos con nuestros jóvenes y nuestros ancianos; con nuestros hijos y nuestras hijas; con nuestras ovejas y nuestras vacas iremos(L), porque hemos de celebrar[l] una fiesta solemne al Señor(M)».
10 «¡Así sea el Señor con ustedes», les dijo Faraón, «si los dejo ir[m] a ustedes y a sus pequeños! Tengan cuidado[n] porque tienen malas intenciones[o]. 11 No será así. Vayan ahora solo ustedes los hombres, y sirvan al Señor, porque eso es lo que han pedido». Y los echaron de la presencia de Faraón(N).
12 Entonces el Señor dijo a Moisés: «Extiende tu mano(O) sobre la tierra de Egipto, para traer la langosta, a fin de que suba sobre la tierra de Egipto y devore toda planta de la tierra, todo lo que el granizo ha dejado(P)». 13 Moisés extendió su vara sobre la tierra de Egipto, y el Señor hizo soplar un viento del oriente sobre el país todo aquel día y toda aquella noche. Y al venir la mañana, el viento del oriente trajo las langostas(Q).
14 Subieron las langostas sobre toda la tierra de Egipto y se asentaron en todo el territorio de Egipto. Eran muy numerosas[p]. Nunca había habido tantas langostas como entonces, ni las habría después[q](R). 15 Porque cubrieron la superficie de toda la tierra, y la tierra se oscureció. Se comieron toda planta[r] de la tierra y todo el fruto de los árboles que el granizo había dejado. Así que nada verde quedó en árbol o planta[s](S) del campo por toda la tierra de Egipto.
16 Entonces Faraón llamó apresuradamente a Moisés y a Aarón(T), y dijo: «He pecado contra el Señor su Dios y contra ustedes(U). 17 Ahora pues, les ruego que perdonen mi pecado solo esta vez, y que rueguen al Señor su Dios, para que quite de mí esta muerte(V)».
18 Moisés salió de la presencia de Faraón y oró al Señor(W). 19 Y el Señor cambió el viento a un viento occidental muy fuerte que se llevó las langostas y las arrojó al mar Rojo[t]. Ni una langosta quedó en todo el territorio de Egipto. 20 Pero el Señor endureció[u] el corazón de Faraón, y este no dejó ir a los israelitas(X).
Novena plaga: las tinieblas
21 Entonces el Señor dijo a Moisés: «Extiende tu mano(Y) hacia el cielo, para que haya tinieblas sobre la tierra de Egipto, tinieblas tales que puedan tocarse(Z)». 22 Extendió Moisés su mano hacia el cielo, y hubo densas tinieblas en toda la tierra de Egipto por tres días(AA). 23 No se veían unos a otros, nadie se levantó de su lugar por tres días, pero todos los israelitas tenían luz en sus moradas(AB).
24 Entonces llamó Faraón a Moisés y le dijo: «Vayan, sirvan al Señor(AC). Solo que sus ovejas y sus vacas queden aquí. Aun sus pequeños pueden ir con ustedes(AD)». 25 Pero Moisés contestó: «Tú también tienes que darnos[v] sacrificios y holocaustos para que los sacrifiquemos[w] al Señor nuestro Dios. 26 Por tanto, también nuestros ganados irán con nosotros. Ni una pezuña quedará atrás, porque de ellos tomaremos para servir al Señor nuestro Dios(AE). Nosotros mismos no sabemos con qué hemos de servir al Señor hasta que lleguemos allá». 27 Pero el Señor endureció[x] el corazón de Faraón, y este no quiso dejarlos ir(AF).
28 Entonces Faraón dijo a Moisés[y]: «¡Apártate de mí(AG)! Cuídate de volver a ver mi rostro, porque el día en que veas mi rostro morirás». 29 «Bien has dicho, no volveré a ver tu rostro(AH)», respondió Moisés.

The Eighth Plague: Locusts
10 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh, for I have hardened his heart and the hearts of his officials so that I may do these miraculous signs of Mine among them,[a](A) 2 and so that you may tell[b] your son and grandson(B) how severely I dealt with the Egyptians and performed miraculous signs among them, and you will know that I am Yahweh.”
3 So Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh and told 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 worship Me.(C) 4 But if you refuse to let My people go, then tomorrow I will bring locusts(D) into your territory. 5 They will cover the surface of the land so that no one will be able to see the land. They will eat the remainder left(E) to you that escaped the hail; they will eat every tree you have growing in the fields. 6 They will fill your houses, all your officials’ houses, and the houses of all the Egyptians—something your fathers and ancestors never saw since the time they occupied the land until today.” Then he turned and left Pharaoh’s presence.
7 Pharaoh’s officials asked him, “How long must this man be a snare(F) to us? Let the men go, so that they may worship Yahweh their God. Don’t you realize yet that Egypt is devastated?”
8 So Moses and Aaron were brought back to Pharaoh. “Go, worship Yahweh your God,” Pharaoh said. “But exactly who will be going?”
9 Moses replied, “We will go with our young and our old; we will go with our sons and daughters and with our flocks and herds because we must hold Yahweh’s festival.”(G)
10 He said to them, “May Yahweh be with you if I ever let you and your families go![c] Look out—you are planning evil. 11 No, only the men may go and worship Yahweh, for that is what you have been asking for.” And they were driven from Pharaoh’s presence.
12 The Lord then said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the land of Egypt and the locusts will come up over it and eat every plant in the land, everything that the hail left.” 13 So Moses stretched out his staff over the land of Egypt, and the Lord sent an east wind over the land all that day and through the night. By morning the east wind had brought in the locusts. 14 The locusts went up over the entire land of Egypt and settled on the whole territory of Egypt. Never before had there been such a large number of locusts, and there never will be again.(H) 15 They covered the surface of the whole land so that the land was black, and they consumed all the plants on the ground and all the fruit on the trees that the hail had left. Nothing green was left on the trees or the plants in the field throughout the land of Egypt.(I)
16 Pharaoh urgently sent for Moses and Aaron and said, “I have sinned against Yahweh your God and against you. 17 Please forgive my sin once more and make an appeal to Yahweh your God, so that He will take this death away from me.” 18 Moses left Pharaoh’s presence and appealed to the Lord.(J) 19 Then the Lord changed the wind to a strong west[d] wind, and it carried off the locusts and blew them into the Red Sea.(K) Not a single locust was left in all the territory of Egypt. 20 But the Lord hardened Pharaoh’s heart,(L) and he did not let the Israelites go.
The Ninth Plague: Darkness
21 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward heaven, and there will be darkness over the land of Egypt, a darkness that can be felt.” 22 So Moses stretched out his hand toward heaven, and there was thick darkness throughout the land of Egypt for three days. 23 One person could not see another, and for three days they did not move from where they were. Yet all the Israelites had light where they lived.(M)
24 Pharaoh summoned Moses and said, “Go, worship Yahweh. Even your families may go with you; only your flocks and herds must stay behind.”
25 Moses responded, “You must also let us have[e] sacrifices and burnt offerings to prepare for Yahweh our God. 26 Even our livestock must go with us; not a hoof will be left behind because we will take some of them to worship Yahweh our God. We will not know what we will use to worship Yahweh until we get there.”
27 But the Lord hardened Pharaoh’s heart,(N) and he was unwilling to let them go. 28 Pharaoh said to him, “Leave me! Make sure you never see my face again, for on the day you see my face, you will die.”
29 “As you have said,” Moses replied, “I will never see your face again.”(O)
