9 — Esodo

1And the Lord said to Moses: Go in to Pharao, and speak to him: Thus saith the Lord God of the Hebrews: Let my people go to sacrifice to me.E il Signore disse a Mosè: Va' a trovare Faraone, e di' a lui: Queste cose dice il Signore Dio degli Ebrei: Lascia andare il mio popolo ad offerirmi sacrifizio.AND our Lord said to Moyses: Goe in to Pharao, and speake to him: This saith our Lord, the God of the Hebrewes: dismisse my people to sacrifice vnto me.Dixit autem Dominus ad Moysen: Ingredere ad Pharaonem, et loquere ad eum: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus Hebræorum: Dimitte populum meum ut sacrificet mihi. 2But if thou refuse, and withhold them still:Che se tu ancor sei restio, e lo rattieni,And if thou refuse, and holdest them:Quod si adhuc renuis, et retines eos, 3Behold my hand shall be upon thy fields; and a very grievous murrain upon thy horses, and asses, and camels, and oxen, and sheep.Ecco che la mano mia si farà sentire sopra i tuoi campi, e sopra i cavalli, e gli asini, e i cammelli, e i bovi, e le pecore con atroce pestilenza.behold my hand shal be vpon thy fieldes: and vpon thy horses, and asses, and camels, and oxen, and sheepe, a verie sore pestilence.ecce manus mea erit super agros tuos, et super equos, et asinos, et camelos, et boves, et oves, pestis valde gravis. 4And the Lord will make a wonderful difference between the possessions of Israel and the possessions of the Egyptians, that nothing at all shall die of those things that belong to the children of Israel.E il Signore farà questo miracolo riguardo a quello che posseggono gl'Israeliti, e quello che posseggono gli Egiziani, che nulla perirà di quel che appartiene a' figliuoli d'Israele.And our Lord wil make a merueile betwene the possessions of Israel & the possessions of the Aegyptians, that nothing at al perish of those thinges that pertaine to the children of Israel.Et faciet Dominus mirabile inter possessiones Israël et possessiones Ægyptiorum, ut nihil omnino pereat ex eis quæ pertinent ad filios Israël. 5And the Lord appointed a time, saying: To morrow will the Lord do this thing in the land.E il Signore fissò il tempo, dicendo: domane il Signore adempirà questa parola sopra questa terra.And our Lord hath appointed a time, saying: To morow wil our Lord doe this thing in the land.Constituitque Dominus tempus, dicens: Cras faciet Dominus verbum istud in terra. 6The Lord therefore did this thing the next day: and all the beasts of the Egyptians died, but of the beasts of the children of Israel there died not one.Il Signore adunque fece il dì seguente quel che avea detto; e perirono tutti gli animali degli Egiziani: ma degli animali de' figliuoli d'Israele non ne perì uno.Our Lord therfore did this thing the next day: and al the beastes of the Aegyptians dyed, but of the beastes of the children of Israel nothing at al perished.Fecit ergo Dominus verbum hoc altera die: mortuaque sunt omnia animantia Ægyptiorum; de animalibus vero filiorum Israël, nihil omnino periit.

7And Pharao sent to see; and there was not any thing dead of that which Israel possessed. And Pharao’s heart was hardened, and he did not let the people go.E Faraone mandò a vedere: e non era morto nulla di quel che possedeva Israele. E si indurò il cuore di Faraone, e non lasciò partire il popolo.And Pharao sent to see: neither was there anything dead of that which Israel possessed. And Pharaoes hart was hardned, and he did not dismisse the people.Et misit Pharao ad videndum: nec erat quidquam mortuum de his quæ possidebat Israël. Ingravatumque est cor Pharaonis, et non dimisit populum. 8And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron: Take to you handfuls of ashes out of the chimney, and let Moses sprinkle it in the air in the presence of Pharao.E il Signore disse a Mosè, e ad Aronne: Alzate le mani piene di cenere del focolare, e Mosè la sparga verso del cielo alla presenza di Faraone.And our Lord said to Moyses, & Aaron: Take your handes ful of ashes out of the chimney, and let Moyses sprinkle it into the ayre before Pharao.Et dixit Dominus ad Moysen et Aaron: Tollite plenas manus cineris de camino, et spargat illum Moyses in cælum coram Pharaone. 9And be there dust upon all the land of Egypt: for there shall be boils and swelling blains both in men and beasts, in the whole land of Egypt.E la polvere si spanda per tutta la terra d'Egitto, e ne verranno agli uomini, e ai giumenti ulcere, e grossi tumori per tutta la terra di Egitto.And be there dust vpon al the Land of Aegypt: for there shal be in men, & beastes boyles, and swelling bladders in the whole land of Aegypt.Sitque pulvis super omnem terram Ægypti: erunt enim in hominibus et jumentis ulcera, et vesicæ turgentes in universa terra Ægypti. 10And they took ashes out of the chimney, and stood before Pharao, and Moses sprinkled it in the air; and there came boils with swelling blains in men and beasts.E presero la cenere del focolare, e si presentarono a Faraone, e Mosè la sparse per l'aria: e ne vennero ulcere, e grossi tumori agli uomini, e ai giumenti.And they tooke ashes out of the chimney, and stoode before Pharao, and Moyses: sprinkled it into the ayre: and there were made boyles of swelling bladders in men and beastes.Tuleruntque cinerem de camino, et steterunt coram Pharaone, et sparsit illum Moyses in cælum: factaque sunt ulcera vesicarum turgentium in hominibus et jumentis: 11Neither could the magicians stand before Moses, for the boils that were upon them, and in all the land of Egypt.E i maghi non potevano stare dinanzi a Mosè per ragione delle ulcere, che erano addosso a loro, come a tutta la terra d'Egitto.neither could the enchanters stand before Moyses for boyles that were vpon them, and in al the Land of Aegypt.nec poterant malefici stare coram Moyse propter ulcera quæ in illis erant, et in omni terra Ægypti.

12And the Lord hardened Pharao’s heart, and he hearkened not unto them, as the Lord had spoken to Moses.E il Signore indurò il cuore di Faraone, e non gli ascoltò, come il Signore avea detto a Mosè.And our Lord did indurate Pharaoes hart, & he heard them not, as our Lord spake to Moyses.Induravitque Dominus cor Pharaonis, et non audivit eos, sicut locutus est Dominus ad Moysen. 13And the Lord said to Moses: Arise in the morning, and stand before Pharao, and thou shalt say to him: Thus saith the Lord, the God of the Hebrews: Let my people go to sacrifice to me.E il Signore disse a Mosè: Levati di buon mattino, e presentati a Faraone, e gli dirai: Queste cose dice il Signore Dio degli Ebrei: Lascia, che il mio popolo vada ad offerirmi sacrifizio.And our Lord said to Moyses: In the morning arise, and stand before Pharao, & thou shalt say to him: This saith the Lord, the God of the Hebrewes: Dismisse my people to sacrifice vnto me.Dixitque Dominus ad Moysen: Mane consurge, et sta coram Pharaone, et dices ad eum: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus Hebræorum: Dimitte populum meum ut sacrificet mihi. 14For I will at this time send all my plagues upon thy heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people; that thou mayst know that there is none like me in all the earth.Perocché io questa volta manderò sul tuo cuore tutti i miei flagelli, e sopra i tuoi servi, e sopra il tuo popolo: affinché tu conosca, che non havvi simile a me in tutta la terra.Because this time I wil send al my plagues vpon thy hart, and vpon thy seruantes, and vpon thy people: that thou mayest know rhere is not the like to me in al the earth.Quia in hac vice mittam omnes plagas meas super cor tuum, et super servos tuos, et super populum tuum: ut scias quod non sit similis mei in omni terra. 15For now I will stretch out my hand to strike thee, and thy people, with pestilence, and thou shalt perish from the earth.Conciossiaché adesso stendendo la mano percuoterò di peste te, e il tuo popolo, e tu sarai sterminato dalla terra.For now stretching forth my hand I wil strike thee, and thy people with pestilence, and thou shalt perish from the earth.Nunc enim extendens manum percutiam te, et populum tuum peste, peribisque de terra. 16And therefore have I raised thee, that I may shew my power in thee, and my name may be spoken of throughout all the earth.E a questo fine ti ho sostentato per dimostrare in te la mia possanza, onde celebrato sia il nome mio per tutta la terra.And therfore haue I set thee, that in thee I may shew my might, and my name may be told in al the earth.Idcirco autem posui te, ut ostendam in te fortitudinem meam, et narretur nomen meum in omni terra.

17Dost thou yet hold back my people; and wilt thou not let them go?Tu rattieni tuttora il mio popolo, e nol vuoi lasciar partire?Doest thou yet hold backe my people: and wilt thou not dismisse them?Adhuc retines populum meum, et non vis dimittere eum ? 18Behold I will cause it to rain to morrow at this same hour, an exceeding great hail; such as hath not been in Egypt from the day that it was founded, until this present time.Ecco che io domani in questa stess'ora pioverò grandine senza misura, quale mai non fu in Egitto, dacché fu abitato fino al dì d'oggi.Behold I wil raine to morow this very houre haile exceeding much: such as was not in Aegypt from the day that it was founded, vntil this present time.En pluam cras hac ipsa hora grandinem multam nimis, qualis non fuit in Ægypto a die qua fundata est, usque in præsens tempus. 19Send therefore now presently, and gather together thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field; for men and beasts, and all things that shall be found abroad, and not gathered together out of the fields which the hail shall fall upon, shall die.Manda adunque sin da adesso a raunare i tuoi giumenti, e tutto quello che hai in campagna, perocché egli uomini, e i giumenti, e tutto quello che troverassi fuori, e non sia ritirato dalla campagna, venendogli sopra la grandine, perirà.Send therfore now presently, and gather together thy cattle, and al thinges that thou hast in the field for men & beastes, and al thinges that shal be found abroad, and not gathered together out of the fieldes, and the haile fal vpon them, shal die.Mitte ergo jam nunc, et congrega jumenta tua, et omnia quæ habes in agro: homines enim, et jumenta, et universa quæ inventa fuerint foris, nec congregata de agris, cecideritque super ea grando, morientur. 20He that feared the word of the Lord among Pharao’s servants, made his servants and his cattle flee into houses:Que' servi di Faraone, che ebbero timore della parola, del Signore, fecero che i loro servi, e i giumenti si fuggissero nelle case.He that feared the word of our Lord of Pharaoes seruantes, made his seruantes to flie, and his beastes into houses:Qui timuit verbum Domini de servis Pharaonis, facit confugere servos suos et jumenta in domos: 21But he that regarded not the word of the Lord, left his servants, and his cattle in the fields.Ma quelli che non fecero conto della parola del Signore, lasciarono stare i loro servi, e i giumenti alla campagna.but he that neglected the word of our Lord, let alone his seruantes, and his beastes in the fieldes.qui autem neglexit sermonem Domini, dimisit servos suos et jumenta in agris.

22And the Lord said to Moses: Stretch forth thy hand towards heaven, that there may be hail in the whole land of Egypt upon men, and upon beasts, and upon every herb of the field in the land of Egypt.E il Signore disse a Mosè: Stendi la tua mano verso del cielo, affinché cada grandine in tutta la terra d'Egitto, sopra gli uomini, e sopra i giumenti, e sopra tutte l'erbe dei campi della terra d'Egitto.And our Lord said to Moyses: Stretch forth thy hand towards heauen, that there may be haile in the whole Land of Aegypt vpon men, and vpon beastes, & vpon euerie herbe of the field in the Land of Aegypt.Et dixit Dominus ad Moysen: Extende manum tuam in cælum, ut fiat grando in universa terra Ægypti super homines, et super jumenta, et super omnem herbam agri in terra Ægypti. 23And Moses stretched forth his rod towards heaven, and the Lord sent thunder and hail, and lightnings running along the ground: and the Lord rained hail upon the land of Egypt.E Mosè stese la verga verso del cielo: e il Signore mandò tuoni, e grandine, e folgori, che volteggiavano sopra la terra: e il Signore piovve grandine sopra l'Egitto.And Moyses stretched forth his rodde toward heauen, and our Lord gaue thunders, and haile and running lightenings on the land: and our Lord rained haile vpon the Land of Aegypt.Extenditque Moyses virgam in cælum, et Dominus dedit tonitrua, et grandinem, ac discurrentia fulgura super terram: pluitque Dominus grandinem super terram Ægypti. 24And the hail and fire mixt with it drove on together: and it was of so great bigness, as never before was seen in the whole land of Egypt since that nation was founded.E la grandine, e il fuoco cadevano misti insieme: e quella fu di tale grandezza, che eguale non si vide giammai in tutta la terra d'Egitto, dacché fu fondata quella nazione.And the haile and fire mixt together did driue: and it was of so great bignes, as neuer before appeared in the whole Land of Aegypt since that nation was madeEt grando et ignis mista pariter ferebantur: tantæque fuit magnitudinis, quanta ante numquam apparuit in universa terra Ægypti ex quo gens illa condita est. 25And the hail destroyed through all the land of Egypt all things that were in the fields, both man and beast: and the hail smote every herb of the field, and it broke every tree of the country.E la grandine flagellò in tutta la terra d'Egitto quanto vi era alla campagna dagli uomini fino a' giumenti: e tutte l'erbe dei campi furon flagellate dalla grandine, e spezzata ogni pianta.And the haile smote in al the Land of Aegypt al thinges that were in the fieldes, from man euen vnto beast: and euerie herbe of the field did the haile strike, and euerie tree of the countrie it did breake.Et percussit grando in omni terra Ægypti cuncta quæ fuerunt in agris, ab homine usque ad jumentum: cunctamque herbam agri percussit grando, et omne lignum regionis confregit.

26Only in the land of Gessen, where the children of Israel were, the hail fell not.Solamente nella terra di Gessen, dove stavano i figliuoli d'Israele, non cadde grandine.Only in the Land of Gessen, where the children of Israel were, the haile fel not.Tantum in terra Gessen, ubi erant filii Israël, grando non cecidit. 27And Pharao sent and called Moses and Aaron, saying to them: I have sinned this time also, the Lord is just: I and my people, are wicked.E Faraone mandò a chiamar Mosè e Aronne, e disse loro: Ho peccato anche adesso: giusto è il Signore: Io, e il mio popolo siam empi.And Pharao sent, and called Moyses and Aaron, saying to them: I haue sinned now also, the Lord is iust: I and my people, impious.Misitque Pharao, et vocavit Moysen et Aaron, dicens ad eos: Peccavi etiam nunc: Dominus justus; ego et populus meus, impii. 28Pray ye to the Lord that the thunderings of God and the hail may cease: that I may let you go, and that ye may stay here no longer.Pregate il Signore affinché cessino i gran tuoni, e la grandine: affinché io vi lasci andare, e non restiate più qua.Pray ye the Lord that the thunders may cease, and the haile: that I may dismisse you, and ye tarie not here any longerOrate Dominum ut desinant tonitrua Dei, et grando: ut dimittam vos, et nequaquam hic ultra maneatis. 29Moses said: As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will stretch forth my hands to the Lord, and the thunders shall cease, and the hail shall be no more: that thou mayst know that the earth is the Lord’s:Disse Mosè: Uscito che io sia dalla città, stenderò le mie mani al Signore, e cesseranno i tuoni, e non grandinerà più: affinché tu conosca, che del Signore è la terra.Moyses said: When I shal be gone forth out of the citie, I wil stretch forth my handes to our Lord, and the thunders shal cease, and the haile shal not be: that thou maist know that the earth is our Lords:Ait Moyses: Cum egressus fuero de urbe, extendam palmas meas ad Dominum, et cessabunt tonitrua, et grando non erit, ut scias quia Domini est terra: 30But I know that neither thou, nor thy servants do yet fear the Lord God.Ma io ben so, che tu, e i tuoi servi non temete ancora il Signore Dio.but I know that neither thou, nor thy seruantes do yet feare the Lord God.novi autem quod et tu et servi tui necdum timeatis Dominum Deum. 31The flax therefore, and the barley were hurt, because the barley was green, and the flax was now bolled;Fu adunque guastato il lino, e l'orzo, perché l'orzo era verde, e il lino faceva il seme.The flexe therfore, and the barley were hurt, because the barley came vp grene, and the flaxe now was boulled:Linum ergo et hordeum læsum est, eo quod hordeum esset virens, et linum jam folliculos germinaret:

32But the wheat, and other winter corn were not hurt, because they were lateward.Il grano però, e il farro non furono danneggiati, perché sono serotini.but the wheate, and other winter corne were not hurt, because they were late ward.triticum autem et far non sunt læsa, quia serotina erant. 33And when Moses was gone from Pharao out of the city, he stretched forth his hands to the Lord: and the thunders and the hail ceased, neither did there drop any more rain upon the earth.E partitosi da Faraone Mosè, e dalla città, stese le mani al Signore, e cessarono i tuoni, e la grandine; e non cadde più stilla di pioggia sopra la terra.And Moyses going forth from Pharao out of the citie, stretched forth his handes to our Lord: and the thunders & haile ceased, neither did there droppe raine any more vpon the earth.Egressusque Moyses a Pharaone ex urbe, tetendit manus ad Dominum: et cessaverunt tonitrua et grando, nec ultra stillavit pluvia super terram. 34And Pharao seeing that the rain, and the hail, and the thunders were ceased, increased his sin:Ma Faraone veggendo, come era cessata la pioggia, e la grandine, e i tuoni, aggravò il suo peccato:And Pharao seing that the raine, and the haile and thunders were ceased, he increased his sinne:Videns autem Pharao quod cessasset pluvia, et grando, et tonitrua, auxit peccatum: 35And his heart was hardened, and the heart of his servants, and it was made exceeding hard: neither did he let the children of Israel go, as the Lord had commanded by the hand of Moses.E si ostinò il cuore di lui, e de' suoi servi, e s'indurò formisura: e non lasciò partire i figliuoli d'Israele, come avea ordinato il Signore per mezzo di Mosè.and his hart was aggrauated, and the hart of his seruantes, and indurate exceedingly: neither did he dismisse the children of Israel, as our Lord had commanded by the hand of Moyses.et ingravatum est cor ejus, et servorum illius, et induratum nimis: nec dimisit filios Israël, sicut præceperat Dominus per manum Moysi.
