神阿，我们因自己的恶行和大罪，遭遇了这一切的事，并且你刑罚我们轻于我们罪所当得的，又给我们留下这些人。
And after all that is come upon us for our evil deeds, and for our great trespass, seeing that thou our God hast punished us less than our iniquities deserve, and hast given us such deliverance as this;
我们岂可再违背你的命令，与这行可憎之事的民结亲呢。若这样行，你岂不向我们发怒，将我们灭绝，以致没有一个剩下逃脱的人吗。
Should we again break thy commandments, and join in affinity with the people of these abominations? wouldest not thou be angry with us till thou hadst consumed us, so that there should be no remnant nor escaping?
耶和华以色列的神阿，因你是公义的，我们这剩下的人才得逃脱，正如今日的光景。看哪，我们在你面前有罪恶，因此无人在你面前删立得住。
O LORD God of Israel, thou art righteous: for we remain yet escaped, as it is this day: behold, we are before thee in our trespasses: for we cannot stand before thee because of this.
你若不肯容他们去，仍旧强留他们，
For if thou refuse to let them go, and wilt hold them still,
耶和华要分别以色列的牲畜和埃及的牲畜，凡属以色列人的，一样都不死。
And the LORD shall sever between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt: and there shall nothing die of all that is the children's of Israel.
耶和华就定了时候，说，明天耶和华必在此地行这事。
And the LORD appointed a set time, saying, To morrow the LORD shall do this thing in the land.
第二天，耶和华就行这事。埃及的牲畜几乎都死了，只是以色列人的牲畜一个都没有死。
And the LORD did that thing on the morrow, and all the cattle of Egypt died: but of the cattle of the children of Israel died not one.
法老打发人去看，谁知以色列人的牲畜连一个都没有死。法老的心却是固执，不容百姓去。
And Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there was not one of the cattle of the Israelites dead. And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the people go.
耶和华吩咐摩西，亚伦说，你们取几捧炉灰，摩西要在法老面前向天扬起来。
And the LORD said unto Moses and unto Aaron, Take to you handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it toward the heaven in the sight of Pharaoh.
这灰要在埃及全地变作尘土，在人身上和牲畜身上成了起泡的疮。
And it shall become small dust in all the land of Egypt, and shall be a boil breaking forth with blains upon man, and upon beast, throughout all the land of Egypt.
