出埃及記 10
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
蝗蟲之災
10 耶和華對摩西說：「你去見法老，我已使他和他臣僕的心剛硬，好在他們當中行我這些神蹟。 2 這樣，你就可以把我如何嚴懲埃及人以及我在他們當中所行的神蹟告訴你的子孫，好叫你們知道我是耶和華。」
3 摩西和亞倫便進宮去見法老，對他說：「希伯來人的上帝耶和華說，『你要到什麼時候才肯在我面前謙卑下來，讓我的子民離開這裡去事奉我？ 4 這次你若再不答應，明天我要使蝗蟲飛入你的國境。 5 牠們鋪天蓋地，要吃光冰雹過後田間所剩的，包括一切樹木。 6 你的王宮及臣僕和所有埃及人的房屋都要佈滿蝗蟲，這是你祖祖輩輩從未見過的蝗災。』」摩西說完，便轉身離開法老。
7 臣僕對法老說：「這個人還要給我們添多少麻煩呢？讓他們離開去事奉他們的上帝耶和華吧！埃及已經快崩潰了，你不知道嗎？」 8 法老便召摩西和亞倫進宮，對他們說：「你們去事奉你們的上帝耶和華吧！但你們誰要去呢？」 9 摩西回答說：「我們男女老幼都要去，還有我們的牛群和羊群，因為我們要去守耶和華的節期，向祂獻祭。」 10 法老聽後，說：「我若讓你們帶走婦女和孩子，最好耶和華能保護你們！你們真是居心叵測。 11 不行！只有男子可以去事奉耶和華，這是你們一直要求的。」法老說完，便下令把他們趕出去。
12 耶和華對摩西說：「你向埃及伸杖，使蝗蟲飛來吃盡冰雹過後剩下的植物。」 13 摩西就向埃及伸杖。耶和華使東風在埃及境內颳了整整一天一夜，到早晨，東風帶來了蝗蟲。 14 埃及到處都佈滿了蝗蟲，數目之多實在是空前絕後。 15 整個埃及鋪滿蝗蟲，地上一片黑暗。這些蝗蟲吃盡了冰雹過後剩下的農作物和樹上的果子，沒有留下一點青綠。 16 法老急忙召見摩西和亞倫，對他們說：「我得罪了你們的上帝耶和華，又得罪了你們。 17 現在求你饒恕我的罪，就這一次，為我祈求你們的上帝耶和華撤去這場死亡之災吧！」 18 摩西就離開法老出去祈求耶和華， 19 耶和華就把風向倒轉，變成猛烈的西風，把蝗蟲颳走，吹進紅海。埃及境內一隻蝗蟲也沒留下。 20 可是，耶和華又使法老心硬，不讓以色列人離開埃及。
黑暗之災
21 耶和華對摩西說：「你向天伸杖，使埃及全境漆黑一片，那黑暗濃得甚至可以摸到。」 22 摩西向天伸杖，埃及全境便漆黑了三天之久。 23 埃及人彼此看不見，誰也不敢移動半步。可是，以色列人住的地方卻有光。 24 法老把摩西召來，對他說：「去吧，帶著你們的婦女和孩子去事奉耶和華吧，但你們要把牛羊留下。」 25 摩西回答說：「你要讓我們帶走牛羊，因為牠們是獻給我們上帝耶和華的祭物和燔祭牲。 26 我們要帶走所有的牲畜，一隻蹄子也不留下，因為我們要從其中選一些來獻給我們的上帝耶和華。我們抵達目的地前，還不知道把哪些獻給祂。」 27 但耶和華使法老的心剛硬，不肯讓以色列百姓離開。 28 法老對摩西說：「給我滾出去！不要再讓我見到你，因為你再見我面之日必死。」 29 摩西回答說：「你說得好，我必不再見你的面。」

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)

Exodus 10
Revised Geneva Translation
10 Again, the LORD said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh. For I have hardened his heart (and the hearts of his servants) so that I might work these, My miracles, in the midst of his realm,
2 and so that you may declare in the ears of your son, and of your son’s son, what things I have done in Egypt and My miracles which I have done among them. So that you may know that I am the LORD.”
3 Then Moses and Aaron came to Pharaoh. And they said to him, “Thus says the LORD God of the Hebrews: ‘How long will you refuse to humble yourself before Me? Let My people go, so that they may serve Me.
4 ‘But if you refuse to let My people go, behold, tomorrow I will bring locusts into your territory.
5 ‘And they shall cover the face of the Earth, so that a man cannot see the Earth. And they shall eat the residue which remains to you and has escaped from the hail. And they shall eat all your trees that bud in the field.
6 ‘And they shall fill your houses, and all your servants’ houses, and the houses of all the Egyptians, as neither your fathers nor your fathers’ fathers have seen since the time they were upon the Earth until this day.’” So, he returned and went out from Pharaoh.
7 Then, Pharaoh’s servants said to him, “How long shall he be a snare to us? Let the men go, so that they may serve the LORD their God. Do you still not know that Egypt is destroyed?”
8 So, Moses and Aaron were again brought to Pharaoh. And he said to them, “Go. Serve the LORD your God. But who are those who shall go?”
9 And Moses answered, “We will go with our young and with our old, with our sons and with our daughters. With our sheep and with our cattle will we go. For we must celebrate a feast to the LORD.”
10 And he said to them, “Let the LORD so be with you, as I will let you and your children go. But behold, evil is ahead of you.
11 “Not so. Now go, you men, and serve the LORD. For that was your desire.” Then they were thrust out from Pharaoh’s presence.
12 Afterward, the LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand upon the land of Egypt for the locusts, so that they may come upon the land of Egypt and eat all the herbs of the land.” (all that the hail had left)
13 Then Moses stretched forth his rod upon the land of Egypt. And the LORD brought an east wind upon the land all that day and all that night. And in the morning, the east wind brought the locusts.
14 So the locusts went up upon all the land of Egypt and remained in all quarters of Egypt. There have never been such grievous locusts as these, nor shall there be after them.
15 For they covered all the face of the Earth, so that the land was dark. And they ate all the herbs of the land, and all the fruits of the trees, which the hail had left, so that there was no green thing left upon the trees, nor among the herbs of the field, throughout all the land of Egypt.
16 Therefore, Pharaoh quickly called for Moses and Aaron, and said, “I have sinned against the LORD your God, and against you.
17 “And now, forgive my sin only this once, and pray to the LORD your God, only so that He may take away from me this death.”
18 Then Moses went out from Pharaoh and prayed to the LORD.
19 And the LORD turned a mighty strong west wind, and took away the locusts, and violently cast them into the Red Sea. There remained not one locust in all the land of Egypt.
20 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he did not let the children of Israel go.
21 Again the LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward Heaven, so that darkness may be upon the land of Egypt, even darkness that may be felt.”
22 Then, Moses stretched forth his hand toward Heaven; and there was a black darkness in all the land of Egypt for three days.
23 No one saw another, nor rose up from the place where he was, for three days. But all the children of Israel had light where they dwelt.
24 Then Pharaoh called for Moses, and said, “Go serve the LORD. Only your sheep and your cattle shall remain; and your children shall go with you.”
25 And Moses said, “You must also give us sacrifices and burnt offerings, so that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God.
26 “Therefore, our cattle shall go with us also. There shall not be a hoof left. For we must take from them to serve the LORD our God. Nor do we know how we shall serve the LORD until we get there.”
27 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart; and he would not let them go.
28 And Pharaoh said to him, “Get away from me! Be careful that you see my face no more. For whenever you come into my sight, you shall die!”
29 Then Moses said, “You have said well. I will never see your face again.”
