He ordered locusts to come, innumerable grasshoppers.

他说一声，就有蝗虫蚂蚱上来，不计其数，

他一吩咐，就有蝗虫蝻子上来，不计其数，

他一吩咐，就有蝗虫蝻子上来，不计其数，

祂一发声，就飞来无数蝗虫和蚂蚱，

他一发命令，蝗虫就来，蚱蜢也来，多得无法数算，

他一发话，蝗虫和蚂蚱就来，数不胜数，

他說一聲，就有蝗蟲螞蚱上來，不計其數，

他一吩咐，就有蝗蟲蝻子上來，不計其數，

他一吩咐，就有蝗蟲蝻子上來，不計其數，

祂一發聲，就飛來無數蝗蟲和螞蚱，

發言而蝗至止、蚱蜢無數兮、

主命蝗集、千百成群、不可計數、

主一發命、蝗蟲飛集、且有蚱蜢不計其數、

主一言。飛蝗至。又蚱蜢。不可計。

He spoke, and the locusts came, grasshoppers without number;

He spoke, and the locusts came. There were so many of them they couldn’t be counted.

He spoke, and the locusts came, young locusts without number,

He spoke, and hordes of locusts came— young locusts beyond number.

He spoke, and locusts came— young locusts without number.

He spoke, and locusts came, And creeping locusts, beyond number,

He spoke, and locusts came, Young locusts without number,

He spake, and the locust came, And the grasshopper, and that without number,

He spoke, and locusts came— young locusts without number.

He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillers, and that without number,

He spoke, and the locusts came with the grasshoppers, without number,

The LORD said to Moses,“ Extend your hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up over the land of Egypt and eat everything that grows in the ground, everything that the hail has left.”So Moses extended his staff over the land of Egypt, and then the LORD brought an east wind on the land all that day and all night. The morning came, and the east wind had brought up the locusts!The locusts went up over all the land of Egypt and settled down in all the territory of Egypt. It was very severe; there had been no locusts like them before, nor will there be such ever again.They covered the surface of all the ground, so that the ground became dark with them, and they ate all the vegetation of the ground and all the fruit of the trees that the hail had left. Nothing green remained on the trees or on anything that grew in the fields throughout the whole land of Egypt.

He gave their crops to the grasshopper, the fruit of their labor to the locust.

Then out of the smoke came locusts onto the earth, and they were given power like that of the scorpions of the earth.They were told not to damage the grass of the earth, or any green plant or tree, but only those people who did not have the seal of God on their forehead.The locusts were not given permission to kill them, but only to torture them for five months, and their torture was like that of a scorpion when it stings a person.In those days people will seek death, but will not be able to find it; they will long to die, but death will flee from them.Now the locusts looked like horses equipped for battle. On their heads were something like crowns similar to gold, and their faces looked like men’s faces.They had hair like women’s hair, and their teeth were like lions’ teeth.They had breastplates like iron breastplates, and the sound of their wings was like the noise of many horse- drawn chariots charging into battle.They have tails and stingers like scorpions, and their ability to injure people for five months is in their tails.

I will make up for the years that the‘ arbeh-locust consumed your crops– the yeleq-locust, the hasil-locust, and the gazam-locust– my great army that I sent against you.

What the gazam-locust left the‘ arbeh-locust consumed, what the‘ arbeh-locust left the yeleq-locust consumed, and what the yeleq-locust left the hasil-locust consumed!Wake up, you drunkards, and weep! Wail, all you wine drinkers, because the sweet wine has been taken away from you.For a nation has invaded our land. There are so many of them they are too numerous to count. Their teeth are like those of a lion; they tear apart their prey like a lioness.They have destroyed our vines; they have turned our fig trees into mere splinters. They have completely stripped off the bark and thrown them aside; the twigs are stripped bare.
