1耶和華對摩西說：「你進去見法老。我使他和他臣僕的心剛硬，為要在他們中間顯我這些神蹟，Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh, for I have hardened his heart and the hearts of his officials, that I may perform these miraculous signs of Mine among them,
2並要叫你將我向埃及人所做的事，和在他們中間所行的神蹟，傳於你兒子和你孫子的耳中，好叫你們知道我是耶和華。」and that you may tell your children and grandchildren how severely I dealt with the Egyptians when I performed miraculous signs among them, so that all of you may know that I am the LORD.”
3摩西、亞倫就進去見法老，對他說：「耶和華─希伯來人的 神這樣說：『你在我面前不肯自卑要到幾時呢？容我的百姓去，好事奉我。So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and told him, “This is what the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, says: ‘How long will you refuse to humble yourself before Me? Let My people go, so that they may worship Me.
4你若不肯容我的百姓去，明天我要使蝗蟲進入你的境內，But if you refuse to let My people go, I will bring locusts into your territory tomorrow.
5遮滿地面，甚至看不見地，並且吃那冰雹所剩的和田間所長的一切樹木。They will cover the face of the land so that no one can see it. They will devour whatever is left after the hail and eat every tree that grows in your fields.
6你的宮殿和你眾臣僕的房屋，並一切埃及人的房屋，都要被蝗蟲佔滿了；自從你祖宗和你祖宗的祖宗在世以來，直到今日，沒有見過這樣的災。』」摩西就轉身離開法老出去。They will fill your houses and the houses of all your officials and every Egyptian—something neither your fathers nor your grandfathers have seen since the day they came into this land.’” Then Moses turned and left Pharaoh’s presence.
7法老的臣僕對法老說：「這人為我們的要到幾時呢？容這些人去事奉耶和華─他們的 神吧！埃及已經敗壞了，你還不知道嗎？」Pharaoh’s officials asked him, “How long will this man be a snare to us? Let the people go, so that they may worship the LORD their God. Do you not yet realize that Egypt lies in ruins?”
8於是摩西、亞倫被召回來見法老；法老對他們說：「你們去事奉耶和華─你們的 神；但那要去的是誰呢？」So Moses and Aaron were brought back to Pharaoh. “Go, worship the LORD your God,” he said. “But who exactly will be going?”
9摩西說：「我們要和我們老的少的、兒子女兒同去，且把羊群牛群一同帶去，因為我們務要向耶和華守節。」“We will go with our young and old,” Moses replied. “We will go with our sons and daughters, and with our flocks and herds, for we must hold a feast to the LORD.”
10法老對他們說：「我容你們和你們婦人孩子去的時候，耶和華與你們同在吧！你們要謹慎；因為有禍在你們眼前（或譯：你們存著惡意），Then Pharaoh told them, “May the LORD be with you if I ever let you go with your little ones. Clearly you are bent on evil.
11不可都去！你們這壯年人去事奉耶和華吧，因為這是你們所求的。」於是把他們從法老面前出去。No, only the men may go and worship the LORD, since that is what you have been requesting.” And Moses and Aaron were driven from Pharaoh’s presence.
12耶和華對摩西說：「你向埃及地伸杖，使蝗蟲到埃及地上來，吃地上一切的菜蔬，就是冰雹所剩的。」Then the LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the land of Egypt, so that the locusts may swarm over it and devour every plant in the land—everything that the hail has left behind.”
13摩西就向埃及地伸杖，那一晝一夜，耶和華使颳在埃及地上；到了早晨，東風把蝗蟲颳了來。So Moses stretched out his staff over the land of Egypt, and throughout that day and night the LORD sent an east wind across the land. By morning the east wind had brought the locusts.
14蝗蟲上來，落在埃及的四境，甚是厲害；以前沒有這樣的，以後也必沒有。The locusts swarmed across the land and settled over the entire territory of Egypt. Never before had there been so many locusts, and never again will there be.
15因為這蝗蟲遮滿地面，甚至地都黑暗了，又吃地上一切的菜蔬和冰雹所剩樹上的果子。埃及遍地，無論是樹木，是田間的菜蔬，連一點青的也沒有留下。They covered the face of all the land until it was black, and they consumed all the plants on the ground and all the fruit on the trees that the hail had left behind. Nothing green was left on any tree or plant in all the land of Egypt.
16於是法老急忙召了摩西、亞倫來，說：「我得罪耶和華─你們的 神，又得罪了你們。Pharaoh quickly summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “I have sinned against the LORD your God and against you.
17現在求你，只這一次，饒恕我的罪，求耶和華─你們的 神使我脫離這一次的死亡。」Now please forgive my sin once more and appeal to the LORD your God, that He may remove this death from me.”
18摩西就離開法老去求耶和華。So Moses left Pharaoh’s presence and appealed to the LORD.
19耶和華轉了極大的西風，把蝗蟲颳起，吹入；在埃及的四境連一個也沒有留下。And the LORD changed the wind to a very strong west wind that carried off the locusts and blew them into the Red Sea. Not a single locust remained anywhere in Egypt.
20但耶和華使法老的心剛硬，不容以色列人去。But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he would not let the Israelites go.
21耶和華對摩西說：「你向天伸杖，使埃及地；這黑暗似乎摸得著。」Then the LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward heaven, so that darkness may spread over the land of Egypt—a palpable darkness.”
22摩西向天伸杖，埃及遍地就烏黑了三天。So Moses stretched out his hand toward heaven, and total darkness covered all the land of Egypt for three days.
23三天之久，人不能相見，誰也不敢起來離開本處；惟有以色列人家中都有亮光。No one could see anyone else, and for three days no one left his place. Yet all the Israelites had light in their dwellings.
24法老就召摩西來，說：「你們去事奉耶和華；只是你們的羊群牛群要留下；你們的婦人孩子可以和你們同去。」Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and said, “Go, worship the LORD. Even your little ones may go with you; only your flocks and herds must stay behind.”
25摩西說：「你總要把祭物和燔祭牲交給我們，使我們可以祭祀耶和華─我們的 神。But Moses replied, “You must also provide us with sacrifices and burnt offerings to present to the LORD our God.
26我們的牲畜也要帶去，連一蹄也不留下；因為我們要從其中取出來，事奉耶和華─我們的 神。我們未到那裡，還不知道用甚麼事奉耶和華。」Even our livestock must go with us; not a hoof will be left behind, for we will need some of them to worship the LORD our God, and we will not know how we are to worship the LORD until we arrive.”
27但耶和華使法老的心剛硬，不肯容他們去。But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he was unwilling to let them go.
28法老對摩西說：「你離開我去吧，你要小心，不要再見我的面！因為你見我面的那日你就必死！」“Depart from me!” Pharaoh said to Moses. “Make sure you never see my face again, for on the day you see my face, you will die.”
29摩西說：「你說得好！我必不再見你的面了。」“As you say,” Moses replied, “I will never see your face again.”
