Êxodo 10

1E o SENHOR disse a Moisés: Vai à presença de Faraó; porque agravei o coração dele, e o coração de seus servos, para fazer entre eles estes meus sinais; 2e para que contes a teus filhos e a teus netos as coisas que eu fiz em Egito, e meus sinais que realizei entre eles; e para que saibais que eu sou o SENHOR. 3Então vieram Moisés e Arão a Faraó, e lhe disseram: O SENHOR, o Deus dos hebreus disse assim: Até quando não quererás te humilhar diante de mim? Deixa ir a meu povo para que me sirvam. 4E se ainda recusas deixá-lo ir, eis que trarei amanhã gafanhotos em teu território, 5os quais cobrirão a face da terra, de modo que não se possa ver a terra; e ela comerá o que restou salvo, o que vos restou do granizo; comerão também toda árvore que vos produz fruto no campo; 6e encherão tuas casas, e as casas de todos os teus servos, e as casas de todos os egípcios, que nunca viram teus pais nem teus avós, desde que eles existiram sobre a terra até hoje. E voltou-se, e saiu da presença de Faraó. 7Então os servos de Faraó lhe disseram: Até quando este nos será por laço? Deixa ir a estes homens, para que sirvam ao SENHOR seu Deus; ainda não sabes que Egito está destruído? 8E Moisés e Arão voltaram a ser chamados a Faraó, o qual lhes disse: Andai, servi ao SENHOR vosso Deus. Quem e quem são os que irão? 9E Moisés respondeu: Iremos com nossos meninos e com nossos idosos, com nossos filhos e com nossas filhas; iremos com nossas ovelhas e com nossas vacas, porque temos solenidade do SENHOR. 10E ele lhes disse: Assim esteja o SENHOR convosco se eu vos deixar ir a vós e a vossos meninos; olhai como o mal está diante de vosso rosto. 11Não será assim: ide agora vós, os homens, e servi ao SENHOR; pois isto é o que vós pedistes. E eles foram expulsos de diante de Faraó. 12Então o SENHOR disse a Moisés: Estende tua mão sobre a terra do Egito para gafanhotos, a fim de que subam sobre o país do Egito, e consumam tudo o que o granizo deixou. 13E estendeu Moisés sua vara sobre a terra do Egito, e o SENHOR trouxe um vento oriental sobre o país todo aquele dia e toda aquela noite; e na manhã o vento oriental trouxe os gafanhotos; 14E os gafanhotos subiram sobre toda a terra do Egito, e pousaram em todos os termos do Egito, em gravíssima maneira; antes dela não houve gafanhotos semelhantes, nem depois deles vieram outros tais; 15E cobriram a face de todo o país, e escureceu-se a terra; e consumiram toda a erva da terra, e todo o fruto das árvores que o granizo havia deixado; que não restou coisa verde em árvores nem em erva do campo, por toda a terra do Egito. 16Então Faraó fez chamar depressa a Moisés e a Arão, e disse: Pequei contra o SENHOR vosso Deus, e contra vós. 17Mas rogo agora que perdoes meu pecado somente esta vez, e que oreis ao SENHOR vosso Deus que tire de mim somente esta morte. 18E saiu da presença de Faraó, e orou ao SENHOR. 19E o SENHOR voltou um vento ocidental fortíssimo, e tirou os gafanhotos, e lançou-os ao mar Vermelho; nem um gafanhoto restou ao todo o território do Egito. 20Mas o SENHOR endureceu o coração de Faraó; e não permitiu a saída dos filhos de Israel. 21E o SENHOR disse a Moisés: Estende tua mão até o céu, para que haja trevas sobre a terra do Egito, tão intensas que qualquer um as apalpe. 22E estendeu Moisés sua mão até o céu, e houve densas durante trevas três dias por toda a terra do Egito. 23Nenhum podia ver seu próximo, nem ninguém se levantou de seu lugar em três dias; mas todos os filhos de Israel tinham luz em suas habitações. 24Então Faraó fez chamar a Moisés, e disse: Ide, servi ao SENHOR; somente restem vossas ovelhas e vossas vacas; vão também vossas crianças convosco. 25E Moisés respondeu: Tu também nos entregarás sacrifícios e holocaustos para que sacrifiquemos ao SENHOR nosso Deus. 26Nossos gados irão também conosco; não ficará nem uma casco; porque deles tomaremos para servir ao SENHOR nosso Deus; e não sabemos com que serviremos ao SENHOR, até que cheguemos ali. 27Mas o SENHOR endureceu o coração de Faraó, e não quis deixá-los ir. 28E disse-lhe Faraó: Retira-te de mim; guarda-te que não vejas mais meu rosto, porque em qualquer dia que vires meu rosto, morrerás. 29E Moisés respondeu: Bem disseste; não verei mais teu rosto.

1Yahweh said to Moses, “Go in to Pharaoh, for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I may show these my signs in their midst, 2and that you may tell in the hearing of your son, and of your son’s son, what things I have done to Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; that you may know that I am Yahweh.” 3Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and said to 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 serve me. 4Or else, if you refuse to let my people go, behold, tomorrow I will bring locusts into your country, 5and they shall cover the surface of the earth, so that one won’t be able to see the earth. They shall eat the residue of that which has escaped, which remains to you from the hail, and shall eat every tree which grows for you out of the field. 6Your houses shall be filled, and the houses of all your servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians; as neither your fathers nor your fathers’ fathers have seen, since the day that they were on the earth to this day.’” He turned, and went out from Pharaoh. 7Pharaoh’s servants said to him, “How long will this man be a snare to us? Let the men go, that they may serve Yahweh, their God. Don’t you yet know that Egypt is destroyed?” 8Moses and Aaron were brought again to Pharaoh, and he said to them, “Go, serve Yahweh your God; but who are those who will go?” 9Moses said, “We will go with our young and with our old; with our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our herds will we go; for we must hold a feast to Yahweh.” 10He said to them, “Yahweh be with you if I will let you go with your little ones! See, evil is clearly before your faces. 11Not so! Go now you who are men, and serve Yahweh; for that is what you desire!” They were driven out from Pharaoh’s presence. 12Yahweh said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up on the land of Egypt, and eat every herb of the land, even all that the hail has left.” 13Moses stretched out his rod over the land of Egypt, and Yahweh brought an east wind on the land all that day, and all the night; and when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts. 14The locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested in all the borders of Egypt. They were very grievous. Before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after them shall be such. 15For they covered the surface of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened, and they ate every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left. There remained nothing green, either tree or herb of the field, through all the land of Egypt. 16Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste, and he said, “I have sinned against Yahweh your God, and against you. 17Now therefore please forgive my sin again, and pray to Yahweh your God, that he may also take away from me this death.” 18He went out from Pharaoh, and prayed to Yahweh. 19Yahweh turned an exceeding strong west wind, which took up the locusts, and drove them into the Red Sea. There remained not one locust in all the borders of Egypt. 20But Yahweh hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he didn’t let the children of Israel go. 21Yahweh said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward the sky, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt.” 22Moses stretched out his hand toward the sky, and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days. 23They didn’t see one another, neither did anyone rise from his place for three days; but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings. 24Pharaoh called to Moses, and said, “Go, serve Yahweh. Only let your flocks and your herds stay behind. Let your little ones also go with you.” 25Moses said, “You must also give into our hand sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice to Yahweh our God. 26Our livestock also shall go with us. Not a hoof shall be left behind, for of it we must take to serve Yahweh our God; and we don’t know with what we must serve Yahweh, until we come there.” 27But Yahweh hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he wouldn’t let them go. 28Pharaoh said to him, “Get away from me! Be careful to see my face no more; for in the day you see my face you shall die!” 29Moses said, “You have spoken well. I will see your face again no more.”

1Daarna zeide de HEERE tot Mozes: Ga in tot Farao; want Ik heb zijn hart verzwaard, ook het hart zijner knechten, opdat Ik deze Mijn tekenen in het midden van hen zette; 2En opdat gij voor de oren uwer kinderen en uwer kindskinderen moogt vertellen, wat Ik in Egypte uitgericht heb, en Mijn tekenen, die Ik onder hen gesteld heb; opdat gijlieden weet, dat Ik de HEERE ben. 3Zo gingen Mozes en Aaron tot Farao, en zeiden tot hem: Zo zegt de HEERE, de God der Hebreen: Hoe lang weigert gij u voor Mijn aangezicht te verootmoedigen? Laat Mijn volk trekken, dat zij Mij dienen. 4Want indien gij weigert Mijn volk te laten trekken, zie, zo zal Ik morgen sprinkhanen in uw landpale brengen. 5En zij zullen het gezicht des lands bedekken, alzo dat men de aarde niet zal kunnen zien; en zij zullen afeten het overige van hetgeen ontkomen is, hetgeen ulieden overgebleven was van den hagel; zij zullen ook al het geboomte afeten, dat ulieden uit het veld voortkomt. 6En zij zullen vervullen uw huizen, en de huizen van al uw knechten, en de huizen van alle Egyptenaren; dewelke uw vaders, noch de vaderen uwer vaders gezien hebben, van dien dag af, dat zij op den aardbodem geweest zijn, tot op dezen dag. En hij keerde zich om, en ging uit van Farao. 7En de knechten van Farao zeiden tot hem: Hoe lang zal ons deze tot een strik zijn, laat de mannen trekken, dat zij den HEERE hun God dienen! weet gij nog niet, dat Egypte verloren is? 8Toen werden Mozes en Aaron weder tot Farao gebracht, en hij zeide tot hen: Gaat henen, dient den HEERE, uw God! wie en wie zijn zij, die gaan zullen? 9En Mozes zeide: Wij zullen gaan met onze jonge en met onze oude lieden; met onze zonen en met onze dochteren, met onze schapen en met onze runderen zullen wij gaan; want wij hebben een feest des HEEREN. 10Toen zeide hij tot hen: De HEERE zij alzo met ulieden, gelijk ik u en uw kleine kinderen zal trekken laten: ziet toe, want er is kwaad voor ulieder aangezicht! 11Niet alzo gij, mannen, gaat nu heen, en dient den HEERE; want dat hebt gijlieden verzocht! En men dreef hen uit van Farao's aangezicht. 12Toen zeide de HEERE tot Mozes: Strek uw hand uit over Egypteland, om de sprinkhanen, dat zij opkomen over Egypteland, en al het kruid des lands opeten, al wat de hagel heeft over gelaten. 13Toen strekte Mozes zijn staf over Egypteland, en de HEERE bracht een oostenwind in dat land, dien gehele dag en dien gansen nacht; het geschiedde des morgens, dat de oostenwind de sprinkhanen opbracht. 14En de sprinkhanen kwamen op over het ganse Egypteland, en lieten zich neder aan al de palen der Egyptenaren, zeer zwaar; voor dezen zijn dergelijke sprinkhanen, als deze, nooit geweest, en na dezen zullen er zulke niet wezen; 15Want zij bedekten het gezicht des gansen lands, alzo dat het land verduisterd werd; en zij aten al het kruid des lands op, en al de vruchten der bomen, die de hagel had over gelaten; en er bleef niets groens aan de bomen, noch aan de kruiden des velds, in het ganse Egypteland. 16Toen haastte Farao, om Mozes en Aaron te roepen, en zeide: Ik heb gezondigd tegen den HEERE, uw God, en tegen ulieden. 17En nu vergeeft mij toch mijn zonde alleen ditmaal, en bidt vuriglijk tot den HEERE, uw God, dat Hij slechts dezen dood van mij wegneme. 18En hij ging uit van Farao, en bad vuriglijk tot den HEERE. 19Toen keerde de HEERE een zeer sterken westenwind, die hief de sprinkhanen op, en wierp ze in de Schelfzee; er bleef niet een sprinkhaan over in al de landpalen van Egypte. 20Doch de HEERE verstokte Farao's hart, dat hij de kinderen Israels niet liet trekken. 21Toen zeide de HEERE tot Mozes: Strek uw hand uit naar den hemel, en er zal duisternis komen over Egypteland, dat men de duisternis tasten zal. 22Als Mozes zijn hand uitstrekte naar den hemel, werd er een dikke duisternis in het ganse Egypteland, drie dagen. 23Zij zagen de een de ander niet; er stond ook niemand op van zijn plaats, in drie dagen; maar bij al de kinderen Israels was het licht in hun woningen. 24Toen riep Farao Mozes, en zeide: Gaat heen, dient den HEERE! alleen uw schapen en uw runderen zullen vast blijven; ook zullen uw kinderkens met u gaan. 25Doch Mozes zeide: Ook zult gij slachtofferen en brandofferen in onze handen geven, die wij den HEERE, onzen God, doen mogen; 26En ons vee zal ook met ons gaan, er zal niet een klauw achterblijven; want van hetzelve zullen wij nemen, om den HEERE, onzen God, te dienen; want wij weten niet, waarmede wij den HEERE, onzen God, dienen zullen, totdat wij daar komen. 27Doch de HEERE verhardde Farao's hart; en hij wilde hen niet laten trekken. 28Maar Farao zeide tot hem: Ga van mij! wacht u, dat gij niet meer mijn aangezicht ziet; want op welken dag gij mijn aangezicht zult zien, zult gij sterven! 29Mozes nu zeide: Gij hebt recht gesproken; ik zal niet meer uw aangezicht zien!
