Exodus 10

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	NOVA VULGATA
1 And the Lord said to Moses: “Enter to Pharaoh. For I have hardened his heart, and that of his servants, so that I may accomplish these, my signs, in him,	1 Et dixit Dominus ad Moy sen: “ Ingredere ad pharao nem: ego enim induravi cor eius et servorum illius, ut faciam signa mea haec in medio eorum,
2 and so that you may describe to the ears of your sons and your grandsons how often I opposed the Egyptians and wrought my signs among them, and so that you may know that I am the Lord.”	2 et narres in auribus filii tui et nepotum tuorum, quotiens contriverim Aegyptios et signa mea fecerim in eis; et sciatis quia ego Dominus ”.
3 Therefore, Moses and Aaron entered to Pharaoh, and they said to him: “Thus says the Lord God of the Hebrews: How long will you be unwilling to be subject to me? Release my people to sacrifice to me.	3 Introierunt ergo Moyses et Aaron ad pharaonem et dixerunt ei: “ Haec dicit Dominus, Deus Hebraeorum: Usquequo non vis subici mihi? Dimitte populum meum, ut sacrificet mihi.
4 But if you resist, and you are unwilling to release them, behold, tomorrow I will bring locusts into your borders.	4 Sin autem resistis et non vis dimittere eum, ecce ego inducam cras locustam in fines tuos,
5 And they shall cover the face of the earth, lest any part of it be seen. Yes, and what remains from the hail shall be eaten. For they will gnaw away all the trees that spring up in the fields.	5 quae operiat superficiem terrae, ne quidquam eius appareat, sed comedatur, quod residuum fuerit grandini; corrodet enim omnia ligna, quae germinant in agris.
6 And they will fill your houses, and those of your servants and of all the Egyptians: so many as your fathers and ancestors have not seen, from the time that they rose up over the earth, even until this present day.” And he turned himself away, and he departed from Pharaoh.	6 Et implebunt domos tuas et servorum tuorum et omnium Aegyptiorum, quantam non viderunt patres tui et avi, ex quo orti sunt super terram usque in praesentem diem ”. Avertitque se et egressus est a pharaone.
7 Then the servants of Pharaoh said to him: “How long must we endure this scandal? Release the men, in order to sacrifice to the Lord their God. Do you not see that Egypt is perishing?”	7 Dixerunt autem servi pharaonis ad eum: “ Usquequo patiemur hoc scandalum? Dimitte homines, ut sacrificent Domino Deo suo; nonne vides quod perierit Aegyptus? ”.
8 And they called back Moses and Aaron to Pharaoh, who said to them: “Go, sacrifice to the Lord your God. Who are they who would go?”	8 Revocaveruntque Moysen et Aaron ad pharaonem, qui dixit eis: “ Ite, sacrificate Domino Deo vestro. Quinam sunt qui ituri sunt? ”.
9 Moses said: “We will travel with our little ones and our elderly, with our sons and daughters, with our sheep and herds. For it is a solemnity of the Lord our God.”	9 Ait Moyses: “ Cum parvulis nostris et senioribus pergemus, cum filiis et filiabus, cum ovibus et armentis; est enim sollemnitas Domini nobis ”.
10 And Pharaoh responded: “So let the Lord be with you. But if I were to release you and your little ones, who would doubt that you intend some great wickedness?	10 Et respondit eis: “ Sic Dominus sit vobiscum, quomodo ego dimittam vos et parvulos vestros. Cui dubium est quod pessime cogitetis?
11 It will not be so. However, go only with the men, and sacrifice to the Lord. For this, too, is what you yourselves requested.” And immediately they were cast out from the sight of Pharaoh.	11 Non fiet ita, sed ite tantum viri et sacrificate Domino; hoc enim et ipsi petistis ”. Statimque eiecti sunt de conspectu pharaonis.
12 Then the Lord said to Moses: “Extend your hand over the land of Egypt, toward the locusts, so that they may rise up over it, and devour every plant which remains from the hail.”	12 Dixit autem Dominus ad Moysen: “ Extende manum tuam super terram Aegypti, ut veniat locusta et ascendat super eam et devoret omnem herbam, quidquid residuum fuerit grandini ”.
13 And Moses extended his staff over the land of Egypt. And the Lord brought a burning wind all that day and night. And when morning came, the burning wind lifted up the locusts.	13 Et extendit Moyses virgam super terram Aegypti, et Dominus induxit ventum urentem tota die illa et nocte. Et mane facto, ventus urens levavit locustas;
14 And they ascended over the entire land of Egypt. And they settled into all the parts of the Egyptians: innumerable, such as had not been before that time, nor ever would be thereafter.	14 quae ascenderunt super universam terram Aegypti et sederunt in cunctis finibus Aegyptiorum innumerabiles, quales ante illud tempus non fuerant nec postea futurae sunt.
15 And they covered the entire face of the land, laying waste to all things. And the plants of the land were devoured, along with whatever fruits were on the trees, which the hail had left behind. And nothing at all of the greenery remained on the trees or on the plants of the earth in all of Egypt.	15 Operueruntque universam superficiem terrae, et obscurata est terra. Devoraverunt igitur omnem herbam terrae et, quidquid pomorum in arboribus fuit, quae grando dimiserat; nihilque omnino virens relictum est in lignis et in herbis terrae in cuncta Aegypto.
16 For this reason, Pharaoh hurriedly called Moses and Aaron, and he said to them: “I have sinned against the Lord your God, and against you.	16 Quam ob rem festinus pharao vocavit Moysen et Aaron et dixit eis: “ Peccavi in Dominum Deum vestrum et in vos.
17 But now, release me from my sin even this time, and petition the Lord your God, so that he may take this death away from me.”	17 Sed nunc dimittite peccatum mihi tantum hac vice et rogate Dominum Deum vestrum, ut auferat a me saltem mortem istam ”.
18 And Moses, departing from the sight of Pharaoh, prayed to the Lord.	18 Egressusque Moyses de conspectu pharaonis oravit Dominum,
19 And he caused a very strong wind to blow from the west, and, seizing the locusts, it cast them into the Red Sea. There remained not so much as one in all the parts of Egypt.	19 qui flare fecit ventum ab occidente vehementissimum et arreptam locustam proiecit in mare Rubrum; non remansit ne una quidem in cunctis finibus Aegypti.
20 And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh; neither did he release the sons of Israel.	20 Et induravit Dominus cor pharaonis, nec dimisit filios Israel.
21 Then the Lord said to Moses: “Extend your hand into the sky. And let there be a darkness over the land of Egypt, so dense that they may be able to feel it.”	21 Dixit autem Dominus ad Moysen: “ Extende manum tuam in caelum, et sint tenebrae super terram Aegypti tam densae ut palpari queant ”.
22 And Moses extended his hand into the sky. And there came a horrible darkness in the entire land of Egypt for three days.	22 Extenditque Moyses manum in caelum, et factae sunt tenebrae horribiles in universa terra Aegypti tribus diebus.
23 No one saw his brother, nor moved himself out of the place where he was. But wherever the sons of Israel were living, there was light.	23 Nemo vidit fratrem suum nec movit se de loco, in quo erat. Ubicumque autem habitabant filii Israel, lux erat.
24 And Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron, and he said to them: “Go, sacrifice to the Lord. Only let your sheep and herds remain behind. Your little ones may go with you.”	24 Vocavitque pharao Moysen et Aaron et dixit eis: “ Ite, sacrificate Domino; oves tantum vestrae et armenta remaneant, parvuli vestri eant vobiscum ”.
25 Moses said: “You must also permit us victims and holocausts, which we may offer to the Lord our God.	25 Ait Moyses: “ Etiamsi tu hostias et holocausta dares nobis, quae offeramus Domino Deo nostro,
26 All the flocks shall travel with us. Not one hoof of them shall remain behind. For they are necessary for the worship of the Lord our God, especially since we do not know what ought to be immolated, until we arrive at the very place.”	26 tamen et greges nostri pergent nobiscum; non remanebit ex eis ungula, quoniam ex ipsis sumemus, quae necessaria sunt in cultum Domini Dei nostri; praesertim cum ignoremus quid debeat immolari, donec ad ipsum locum perveniamus ”.
27 But the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he was not willing to release them.	27 Induravit autem Dominus cor pharaonis, et noluit dimittere eos.
28 And Pharaoh said to Moses: “Withdraw from me, and beware that you no longer see my face. On whatever day you will appear in my sight, you shall die.”	28 Dixitque pharao ad eum: “ Recede a me. Cave, ne ultra videas faciem meam; quocumque die apparueris mihi, morieris ”.
29 Moses responded: “So be it, just as you have said. I will no longer see your face.”	29 Respondit Moyses: “ Ita fiet, ut locutus es; non videbo ultra faciem tuam ”.
