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

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，

他一發命令，蝗蟲就來，蚱蜢也來，多得無法數算，

他說一聲，蝗蟲就來，蝻子也來，不計其數；

他一發話，蝗蟲和螞蚱就來，數不勝數，

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 ordered locusts to come, innumerable grasshoppers.

Yahweh said to Moses,“ Stretch out your hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up on the land of Egypt, and eat every herb of the land, even all that the hail has left.”Moses stretched out his rod over the land of Egypt, and Yahweh brought an east wind on the land all that day, and all night; and when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts.The locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested in all the borders of Egypt. They were very grievous. Before them there were no such locusts as they, nor will there ever be again.For they covered the surface of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened, and they ate every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left. There remained nothing green, either tree or herb of the field, through all the land of Egypt.

He gave also their increase to the caterpillar, and their labor to the locust.

Then out of the smoke came locusts on the earth, and power was given to them, as the scorpions of the earth have power.They were told that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree, but only those people who don’t have God’s seal on their foreheads.They were given power, not to kill them, but to torment them for five months. Their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it strikes a person.In those days people will seek death, and will in no way find it. They will desire to die, and death will flee from them.The shapes of the locusts were like horses prepared for war. On their heads were something like golden crowns, and their faces were like people’s faces.They had hair like women’s hair, and their teeth were like those of lions.They had breastplates, like breastplates of iron. The sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots, or of many horses rushing to war.They have tails like those of scorpions, and stings. In their tails they have power to harm men for five months.

I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the great locust, the grasshopper, and the caterpillar, my great army, which I sent among you.

What the swarming locust has left, the great locust has eaten. What the great locust has left, the grasshopper has eaten. What the grasshopper has left, the caterpillar has eaten.Wake up, you drunkards, and weep! Wail, all you drinkers of wine, because of the sweet wine; for it is cut off from your mouth.For a nation has come up on my land, strong, and without number. His teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he has the fangs of a lioness.He has laid my vine waste, and stripped my fig tree. He has stripped its bark, and thrown it away. Its branches are made white.
