¹ At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Moises: Pasukin mo si Faraon, sapagka't aking pinapagmatigas ang kaniyang puso, at ang puso ng kaniyang mga lingkod; upang aking maipakilala itong aking mga tanda sa gitna nila:

² At upang iyong maisaysay sa mga pakinig ng iyong anak, at sa anak ng iyong anak, kung anong mga bagay ang ginawa ko sa Egipto, at ang aking mga tandang ginawa sa gitna nila; upang inyong maalaman, na ako ang Panginoon.

³ At pinasok ni Moises at ni Aaron si Faraon at sinabi sa kaniya, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, ng Dios ng mga Hebreo, Hanggang kailan tatanggi kang mangayupapa sa harap ko? payaunin mo ang aking bayan, upang ako'y mapaglingkuran nila.

⁴ O kung tatanggihan mong payaunin ang aking bayan, ay narito, bukas ay magdadala ako ng mga balang sa iyong hangganan:

⁵ At kanilang tatakpan ang ibabaw ng lupa, na walang makakakita ng ibabaw ng lupa: at kanilang kakanin ang naiwan sa nangaligtas, na itinira sa inyo ng granizo, at kanilang kakanin ang bawa't kahoy na itinutubo sa inyo ng parang:

⁶ At ang inyong mga bahay ay mapupuno, at ang mga bahay ng lahat mong lingkod, at ang mga bahay ng mga Egipcio: na hindi nakita ng inyong mga magulang, mula nang araw na sila'y mapasa lupa hanggang sa araw na ito. At siya'y pumihit at nilisan si Faraon.

⁷ At sinabi sa kaniya ng mga lingkod ni Faraon, Hanggang kailan magiging isang silo sa atin ang taong ito? payaunin mo ang mga taong iyan upang sila'y makapaglingkod sa Panginoon nilang Dios: hindi mo pa ba natatalastas, na ang Egipto'y giba na?

⁸ At si Moises at si Aaron ay pinapagbalik kay Faraon, at kaniyang sinabi sa kanila, Kayo'y yumaon, maglingkod kayo sa Panginoon ninyong Dios: datapuwa't sino sino yaong magsisiyaon?

⁹ At sinabi ni Moises: Kami ay yayaon sangpu ng aming mga bata at sangpu ng mga matanda, sangpu ng aming mga anak na lalake at babae, sangpu ng aming mga kawan at sangpu ng aming mga bakahan, kami ay yayaon; sapagka't kami ay nararapat magdiwang ng isang pista sa Panginoon.

¹⁰ At kaniyang sinabi sa kanila, Sumainyo nawa ang Panginoon, na gaya ng aking pagpapayaon sa inyo, at sa inyong mga bata: magingat kayo; sapagka't ang kasamaan ay nasa harap ninyo.

¹¹ Huwag ganyan: yumaon kayong mga lalake, at maglingkod sa Panginoon; sapagka't iyan ang inyong ninanasa. At sila'y pinaalis sa harap ni Faraon.

¹² At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Moises, Iunat mo ang iyong kamay sa lupain ng Egipto, upang magdala ng mga balang, at bumaba sa lupain ng Egipto, at kumain ng lahat na halaman sa lupain, yaong lahat na iniwan ng granizo.

¹³ At iniunat ni Moises ang kaniyang tungkod sa lupain ng Egipto, at ang Panginoo'y nagpahihip ng hanging silanganan sa lupain ng buong araw na yaon, at ng buong gabi; at nang maumaga, ang hanging silanganan ay nagdala ng mga balang.

¹⁴ At ang mga balang ay bumaba sa buong lupain ng Egipto, at nagsipagpahinga sa lahat ng hangganan ng Egipto; totoong napakakapal; bago noon ay hindi nagkaroon ng gayong balang, at hindi na magkakaroon pa, pagkatapos noon, ng gayon.

¹⁵ Sapagka't tinakpan ng mga yaon ang balat ng buong lupa, na ano pa't ang lupain ay nagdilim; at kinain ang lahat na halaman sa lupain, at ang lahat na bunga ng mga kahoy na iniwan ng granizo; at walang natirang anomang sariwang bagay, maging sa punong kahoy o sa halaman sa parang, sa buong lupain ng Egipto.

¹⁶ Nang magkagayo'y tinawag na madali ni Faraon si Moises at si Aaron, at kaniyang sinabi, Ako'y nagkasala laban sa Panginoon ninyong Dios, at laban sa inyo.

¹⁷ Ngayon nga'y ipatawad mo, isinasamo ko sa iyo, ang aking kasalanan, na ngayon na lamang at idalangin ninyo sa Panginoon ninyong Dios, na kaniya lamang ilayo sa akin ang kamatayang ito.

¹⁸ At nilisan niya si Faraon, at nanalangin sa Panginoon.

¹⁹ At pinapagbalik ng Panginoon ang isang napakalakas na hanging kalunuran, na siyang nagpaitaas sa mga balang, at tumangay ng mga yaon sa Dagat na Mapula; walang natira kahit isang balang sa buong hangganan ng Egipto.

²⁰ Datapuwa't pinapagmatigas ng Panginoon ang puso ni Faraon, at hindi niya pinayaon ang mga anak ni Israel.

²¹ At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Moises, Iunat mo ang iyong kamay sa dakong langit, upang magdilim sa lupain ng Egipto, ng kadiliman na mahihipo.

²² At iniunat ni Moises ang kaniyang kamay sa dakong langit; at nagsalimuutan ang dilim sa buong lupain ng Egipto, na tatlong araw;

²³ Sila'y hindi nagkikita, at walang tumindig na sinoman sa kinaroroonan sa loob ng tatlong araw; kundi lahat ng mga anak ni Israel ay nagilaw sa kanikaniyang tahanan.

²⁴ At tinawag ni Faraon si Moises, at sinabi, Yumaon kayo, maglingkod kayo sa Panginoon; inyo lamang iwan ang inyong mga kawan at ang inyong mga bakahan; isama rin naman ninyo ang inyong mga bata.

²⁵ At sinabi ni Moises, ikaw ay nararapat ding magbigay sa aming kamay ng mga hain at mga handog na susunugin, upang aming maihain sa Panginoon naming Dios.

²⁶ Ang aming hayop man ay yayaong kasama namin; wala kahit isang paa na maiiwan; sapagka't sa kanila kami nararapat kumuha ng aming ipaglilingkod sa Panginoon naming Dios; at hindi namin nalalaman kung ano ang aming nararapat ipaglingkod sa Panginoon, hanggang sa kami ay dumating doon.

²⁷ Datapuwa't pinapagmatigas ng Panginoon ang puso ni Faraon, at hindi niya pinayaon sila.

²⁸ At sinabi ni Faraon sa kaniya, Umalis ka sa harap ko, iyong pagingatang huwag mo nang makitang muli ang aking mukha; sapagka't sa araw na iyong makita ang aking mukha ay mamamatay ka.

²⁹ At sinabi ni Moises, Mabuti ang sabi mo, hindi ko na muling makikita ang iyong mukha.

¹ Then Yahweh said to Moses, "Go in to Pharaoh, and tell him, 'This is what Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews, says: "Let my people Go, that they may serve me.

² For if you refuse to let them go, and hold them still,

³ behold, the hand of Yahweh is on your livestock which are in the field, on the horses, on the donkeys, on the camels, on the herds, and on the flocks with a very grievous pestilence.

⁴ Yahweh will make a distinction between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt; and nothing shall die of all that belongs to the children of Israel."'"

⁵ Yahweh appointed a set time, saying, "Tomorrow Yahweh shall do this thing in the land."

⁶ Yahweh did that thing on the next day; and all the livestock of Egypt died, but of the livestock of the children of Israel, not one died.

⁷ Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there was not so much as one of the livestock of the Israelites dead. But the heart of Pharaoh was stubborn, and he didn't let the people go.

⁸ Yahweh said to Moses and to Aaron, "Take to you handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it toward the sky in the sight of Pharaoh.

⁹ It shall become small dust over all the land of Egypt, and shall be a boil breaking forth with boils on man and on animal, throughout all the land of Egypt."

¹⁰ They took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it up toward the sky; and it became a boil breaking forth with boils on man and on animal.

¹¹ The magicians couldn't stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boils were on the magicians, and on all the Egyptians.

¹² Yahweh hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he didn't listen to them, as Yahweh had spoken to Moses.

¹³ Yahweh said to Moses, "Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and tell him, 'This is what Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews, says: "Let my people go, that they may serve me.

¹⁴ For this time I will send all my plagues against your heart, against your officials, and against your people; that you may know that there is none like me in all the earth.

¹⁵ For now I would have put forth my hand, and struck you and your people with pestilence, and you would have been cut off from the earth;

¹⁶ but indeed for this cause I have made you stand: to show you my power, and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth;

¹⁷ as you still exalt yourself against my people, that you won't let them go.

¹⁸ Behold, tomorrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as has not been in Egypt since the day it was founded even until now.

¹⁹ Now therefore command that all of your livestock and all that you have in the field be brought into shelter. Every man and animal that is found in the field, and isn't brought home, the hail shall come down on them, and they shall die."'"

²⁰ Those who feared the word of Yahweh among the servants of Pharaoh made their servants and their livestock flee into the houses.

²¹ Whoever didn't respect the word of Yahweh left his servants and his livestock in the field.

²² Yahweh said to Moses, "Stretch forth your hand toward the sky, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, on man, and on animal, and on every herb of the field, throughout the land of Egypt."

²³ Moses stretched forth his rod toward the heavens, and Yahweh sent thunder, hail, and lightning flashed down to the earth. Yahweh rained hail on the land of Egypt.

²⁴ So there was very severe hail, and lightning mixed with the hail, such as had not been in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.

²⁵ The hail struck throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and animal; and the hail struck every herb 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 Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and said to them, "I have sinned this time. Yahweh is righteous, and I and my people are wicked.

²⁸ Pray to Yahweh; for there has been enough of mighty thunderings and hail. I will let you go, and you shall stay no longer."

²⁹ Moses said to him, "As soon as I have gone out of the city, I will spread abroad my hands to Yahweh. The thunders shall cease, neither shall there be any more hail; that you may know that the earth is Yahweh's.

³⁰ But as for you and your servants, I know that you don't yet fear Yahweh God."

³¹ The flax and the barley were struck, for the barley was in the ear, and the flax was in bloom.

³² But the wheat and the spelt were not struck, for they had not grown up.

³³ Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread abroad his hands to Yahweh; and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured on the earth.

³⁴ When Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders were ceased, he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he and his servants.

³⁵ The heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he didn't let the children of Israel go, just as Yahweh had spoken through Moses.
