Exodus 9

Studie

   

1 Siis Issand ütles Moosesele: 'Mine vaarao juurde ja räägi temale: Nõnda ütleb Issand, heebrealaste Jumal: Lase mu rahvas minna ja mind teenida!

2 Sest kui sa keelad neid minemast ja pead neid veel kinni,

3 vaata, siis on Issanda käsi su karja peal, kes on väljal: hobuste, eeslite, kaamelite, veiste, lammaste ja kitsede peal väga raske katkuga.

4 Aga Issand eraldab Iisraeli karja ja egiptlaste karja, ja Iisraeli laste omadest ei sure ühtainsatki.'

5 Ja Issand määras aja, öeldes: 'Homme teeb Issand seda siin maal.'

6 Ja Issand tegi järgmisel päeval nõnda, ja egiptlaste kogu kari suri, ent Iisraeli laste karjast ei surnud ühtainsatki.

7 Ja kui vaarao läkitas vaatama, ennäe, siis ei olnud Iisraeli karjast surnud ühtainsatki. Aga vaarao süda jäi kõvaks ja ta ei lasknud rahvast minna.

8 Siis Issand ütles Moosesele ja Aaronile: 'Võtke endile mõlemad pihud täis sulatusahju tahma ja Mooses puistaku seda vaarao silma ees vastu taevast.

9 See muutub siis tolmuks üle kogu Egiptusemaa ning inimestele ja loomadele kogu Egiptusemaal tulevad mädavillideks arenevad paised.'

10 Ja nad võtsid sulatusahju tahma ning astusid vaarao ette; Mooses puistas seda vastu taevast ja see muutus mädavillideks arenevaiks paiseiks inimestel ja loomadel.

11 Ja võlurid ei suutnud seista Moosese ees paisete pärast, sest paised olid võlureil ja kõigil egiptlastel.

12 Aga Issand tegi kõvaks vaarao südame ja too ei kuulanud neid, nagu Issand oli Moosesele öelnud.

13 Siis Issand ütles Moosesele: 'Tõuse hommikul vara ja astu vaarao ette ning ütle temale: Nõnda ütleb Issand, heebrealaste Jumal: Lase mu rahvas minna ja mind teenida!

14 Sest seekord ma saadan kõik oma nuhtlused sulle enesele ja su sulastele ning su rahvale, et sa teaksid, et minu sarnast ei ole kogu maailmas.

15 Kui ma nüüd oma käe välja sirutasin ja sind ja su rahvast lõin katkuga, siis oleksid sa maa pealt kaotatud olnud,

16 aga ma jätsin sind alles just selleks, et näidata sulle oma väge ja teha kuulsaks oma nimi kogu maailmas.

17 Kui sa veel ülbe oled mu rahva vastu ega lase neid minna,

18 vaata, siis ma lasen homme sadada väga rasket rahet, millist ei ole Egiptuses olnud ta asustamisajast tänini.

19 Ja nüüd läkita järele, päästa oma kari ja kõik, kes sul väljal on! Kõigi inimeste ja loomade peale, kes on väljal ega ole viidud koju, langeb rahe ja nad surevad.'

20 Kes vaarao sulaseist kartis Issanda sõna, päästis oma sulased ja karja koju.

21 Aga kes ei võtnud Issanda sõna südamesse, jättis oma sulased ja karja väljale.

22 Ja Issand ütles Moosesele: 'Siruta oma käsi taeva poole, siis tuleb rahet kogu Egiptusemaale, inimeste ja loomade peale, ja kõigi taimede peale Egiptusemaal!'

23 Ja Mooses sirutas oma kepi taeva poole ning Issand andis müristamist ja rahet, ja tuli lõi maha; ja Issand laskis Egiptusemaale rahet sadada.

24 Ja rahe ja tuli, mis oli rahega segamini, olid väga rängad, milliseid ei ole olnud kogu Egiptusemaal selle asustamisest alates.

25 Ja rahe lõi maha kogu Egiptusemaal kõik, kes olid väljal, niihästi inimesed kui loomad; ja rahe lõi maha kogu rohu ning murdis kõik puud väljal.

26 Ainult Gooseni maakonnas, kus olid Iisraeli lapsed, ei olnud rahet.

27 Siis vaarao läkitas järele ja kutsus Moosese ja Aaroni ning ütles neile: 'Ma olen seekord pattu teinud. Issand on õiglane, aga mina ja mu rahvas oleme õelad.

28 Paluge Issandat, sest on küllalt Jumala müristamisest ja rahest. Ma lasen teid minna ja teil pole enam vaja jääda!'

29 Ja Mooses vastas temale: 'Kui ma olen linnast välja läinud, siis ma sirutan oma käed Issanda poole: müristamine lakkab ja rahet ei ole enam, et sa teaksid, et maa on Issanda päralt.

30 Aga sinust ja su sulaseist ma tean, et te veelgi ei karda Jumalat Issandat.'

31 Ja lina ja oder löödi maha, sest oder oli loonud ja lina oli kupras;

32 nisu ja okasnisu aga ei löödud maha, sest need olid hilised.

33 Ja Mooses läks ära vaarao juurest, linnast välja, ja sirutas oma käed Issanda poole: müristamine ja rahe lakkasid ning vihma ei sadanud enam maa peale.

34 Kui vaarao nägi, et vihm, rahe ja müristamine lakkasid, siis ta patustas edasi ja tegi oma südame kõvaks, tema ja ta sulased.

35 Vaarao süda jäi kõvaks ja ta ei lasknud Iisraeli lapsi minna - nagu Issand oli Moosese läbi öelnud.

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.
