Exodus 9

Studie

   

1 Tedy řekl Hospodin Mojžíšovi: Vejdi k Faraonovi, a mluv k němu: Takto praví Hospodin, Bůh Hebrejský: Propusť lid můj, ať mi slouží.

2 Pakli nebudeš chtíti propustiti, než předce držeti je budeš:

3 Aj, ruka Hospodinova bude na dobytku tvém, kterýž jest na poli, na koních, na oslích, na velbloudích, na volích a na ovcech, mor těžký velmi.

4 A učiní Hospodin rozdíl mezi dobytky Izraelských a mezi dobytky Egyptských, aby nic neumřelo ze všeho, což jest synů Izraelských.

5 A uložil Hospodin čas jistý, řka: Zítra učiní Hospodin věc takovou na zemi.

6 I učinil Hospodin tu věc na zejtří, a pomřel všecken dobytek Egyptským; z dobytku pak synů Izraelských ani jedno neumřelo.

7 I poslal Farao, a aj, neumřelo z dobytků Izraelských ani jedno. Ale obtíženo jest srdce Faraonovo, a nepropustil lidu.

8 I řekl Hospodin Mojžíšovi a Aronovi: Vezměte sobě plné hrsti své popela z peci, a ať jej sype Mojžíš k nebi před očima Faraonovýma.

9 I obrátí se v prach po vší zemi Egyptské, a budou z něho na lidech i na hovadech vředové prýštící se neštovicemi po vší zemi Egyptské.

10 Nabravše tedy popela z peci, stáli před Faraonem, a sypal jej Mojžíš k nebi. I byli vředové plní neštovic, prýštící se na lidech i na hovadech.

11 Aniž mohli čarodějníci státi před Mojžíšem pro vředy; nebo byli vředové na čarodějnících i na všech Egyptských.

12 I zsilil Hospodin srdce Faraonovo, a neposlechl jich, tak jakž byl mluvil Hospodin k Mojžíšovi.

13 Tedy řekl Hospodin Mojžíšovi: Vstana ráno, postav se před Faraonem, a rci k němu: Takto praví Hospodin, Bůh Hebrejský: Propusť lid můj, ať mi slouží.

14 Nebo já teď již pošli všecky rány své na srdce tvé, i na služebníky tvé a na lid tvůj, abys věděl, žeť není podobného mně na vší zemi.

15 Nebo nyní, když jsem vztáhl ruku svou, byl bych tebe také ranil i lid tvůj morem tím; a tak bys byl vyhlazen z země.

16 Ale však proto jsem tě zachoval, abych ukázal na tobě moc svou, a aby vypravovali jméno mé na vší zemi.

17 Ještě ty pozdvihuješ se proti lidu mému, nechtěje ho propustiti?

18 Aj, já dštíti budu zítra v tentýž čas krupobitím těžkým náramně, jakéhož nebylo v Egyptě od toho dne, jakž založen jest, až do tohoto času.

19 Protož nyní pošli, shromažď dobytek svůj a cokoli máš na poli. Na všecky lidi i hovada, kteráž by nalezena byla na poli, a nebyla by shromážděna do domu, spadne krupobití, a pomrou.

20 Kdo tedy z služebníků Faraonových ulekl se slova Hospodinova, svolal hbitě služebníky své i dobytek svůj do domu.

21 Ale kdož nepřiložil srdce svého k slovu Hospodinovu, nechal služebníků svých a dobytka svého na poli.

22 I řekl Hospodin Mojžíšovi: Vztáhni ruku svou k nebi, ať jest krupobití po vší zemi Egyptské, na lidi i na hovada i na všelikou bylinu polní v zemi Egyptské.

23 Tedy vztáhl Mojžíš hůl svou k nebi, a Hospodin vydal hřímání a krupobití. I sstoupil oheň na zem, a dštil Hospodin krupobitím na zemi Egyptskou.

24 I bylo krupobití a oheň smíšený s krupobitím těžký velmi, jakéhož nebylo nikdy ve vší zemi Egyptské, jakž v ní bydliti lidé začali.

25 I ztloukly kroupy po vší zemi Egyptské, cožkoli bylo na poli od člověka až do hovada; všecku také bylinu polní potloukly kroupy, i všecko stromoví na poli zpřerážely.

26 Toliko v zemi Gesen, v níž byli synové Izraelští, nebylo krupobití.

27 Poslav tedy Farao, povolal Mojžíše a Arona a řekl jim: Zhřešil jsem i nyní. Hospodinť jest spravedlivý, ale já a lid můj bezbožní jsme.

28 Modlte se Hospodinu, (nebo dosti jest), ať není hřímání Božího a krupobití. Tedy propustím vás, aniž déle zůstávati budete.

29 I řekl jemu Mojžíš: Když vyjdu ven z města, rozprostru ruce své k Hospodinu, a hřímání přestane, i krupobití více nebude, abys poznal, že Hospodinova jest země.

30 Ale vím, že ani ty, ani služebníci tvoji ještě se nebudete báti tváři Hospodina Boha.

31 I potlučen jest len a ječmen; nebo ječmen se byl vymetal, len také byl v hlávkách.

32 Ale pšenice a špalda nebyla ztlučena, nebo pozdní byla.

33 Tedy Mojžíš vyšed od Faraona z města, rozprostřel ruce své k Hospodinu. I přestalo hřímání a krupobití, a ani déšť nelil se na zemi.

34 Uzřev pak Farao, že přestal déšť a krupobití a hřímání, opět hřešil; a více obtížil srdce své, on i služebníci jeho.

35 I zsililo se srdce Faraonovo, a nepropustil synů Izraelských, tak jakž byl mluvil Hospodin skrze Mojžíše.

7495. Exodus 9

1. And Jehovah said to Moses, Go to Pharaoh, and you are to tell him, Thus said Jehovah the God of the Hebrews, Send My People away, and let them serve Me.

2. For if you refuse to send them away and you still hold them back,

3. Behold, the hand of Jehovah will be on your livestock that are in the field, on the horses, on the asses, on the camels, on the herd, and on the flock - an extremely severe pestilence.

4. And Jehovah will make a distinction between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of the Egyptians, and nothing will die of all that belongs to the children of Israel.

5. And Jehovah set a fixed time, saying, Tomorrow Jehovah will do this thing in the land.

6. And Jehovah did this thing on the morrow, and all the livestock of the Egyptians died; and of the livestock of the children of Israel not one died.

7. And Pharaoh sent, and behold, not even one of the livestock of Israel had died. And Pharaoh's heart was stubborn, and he did not send the people away.

8. And Jehovah said to Moses and to Aaron, Take for yourselves in fistfuls 1 the ashes of the furnace, and let Moses scatter them in the direction of heaven before Pharaoh's eyes.

9. And there will then be dust over all the land of Egypt, and there will be on man and on beast sores breaking out into pustules, in all the land of Egypt.

10. And they took the ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses scattered them in the direction of heaven, and sores producing pustules developed, breaking out on man and on beast.

11. And the magicians could not stand before Moses on account of the sores; for there were sores on the magicians and on all the Egyptians.

12. And Jehovah made Pharaoh's heart unyielding, and he did not hear 2 them, as Jehovah had spoken to Moses.

13. And Jehovah said to Moses, Rise up in the morning early, and stand before Pharaoh; and you are to say to him, Thus said Jehovah the God of the Hebrews, Send My people away, and let them serve Me.

14. For this time I am sending all My plagues onto your heart, and onto your servants, and onto your people, in order that you may know that there is none like Me in the whole earth.

15. For now I could stretch out 3 My hand, and strike you and your people with pestilence, and you would be cut off from the earth.

16. But yet for this reason have I caused you to stand 4 - for you to see My power, and in order that My name may be declared in the whole earth.

17. You go on exalting yourself against My people by not sending them away.

18. Behold, about this time tomorrow I am causing it to rain an extremely heavy hail, of which there has not been the like in Egypt from the day it was founded even until now.

19. And now send, assemble your livestock and all that you have in the field; every man and beast that will be found in the field and will not be gathered home, 5 the hail will come down on them and they will die.

20. And he that feared the word of Jehovah among the servants of Pharaoh caused his servants and his livestock to flee to the houses.

21. And he that did not take the word of Jehovah to heart left his servants and his livestock in the field.

22. And Jehovah said to Moses, Stretch out your hand towards heaven, and there will be hail in all the land of Egypt, on man and on beast, and on every plant of the field in the land of Egypt.

23. And Moses stretched out his rod towards heaven, and Jehovah gave forth voices 6 and hail, and fire ran down to the earth; and Jehovah caused hail to rain onto the land of Egypt.

24. And there was hail, and at the same time fire running down 7 in the midst of the hail, extremely heavy, of which there had not been the like in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.

25. And the hail struck in all the land of Egypt everything that was in the field, from man and even to beast; and the hail struck every plant of the field, and broke every tree of the field.

26. Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, there was no hail.

27. And Pharaoh sent and called Moses and Aaron, and said to them, I have sinned this time; Jehovah is righteous, and I and my people are wicked.

28. Plead with Jehovah, there have been enough of God's voices' and of hail; and I will send you away, and you will not continue to remain.

29. And Moses said to him, As I am going out of the city I will spread out my palms towards Jehovah; the voices' will cease, and there will be no more hail, in order that you may know that the earth is Jehovah's.

30. And [as for] you and your servants, I know that you do not yet fear the face of Jehovah God.

31. And the flax and the barley were struck; for the barley was a ripening ear, and the flax a stem. 8

32. And the wheat and the spelt were not struck, for they were hidden. 9

33. And Moses went out from Pharaoh, from the city, and spread out his palms towards Jehovah; and the voices' and the hail ceased, and the rain was not poured on the earth.

34. And Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the voices 6 had ceased; and he continued to sin, and made his heart stubborn, he and his servants.

35. And Pharaoh's heart was made unyielding, and he did not send the children of Israel away, as Jehovah had spoken through the hand of Moses.

CONTENTS

This chapter continues to deal with the vastation of those who molest members of the spiritual Church. In the internal sense the chapter deals with the sixth, seventh, and eighth states or stages of their vastation, which the pestilence, the sores breaking out into pustules, and the rain in the form of hail describe. By these plagues is meant the laying waste of things of the Church present with them.
