9:1

God told Moses to go to Pharaoh, and in the name of God, Lord of the Hebrews, say to him, 'Let My people leave and serve Me. 
Vayomer Adonay el-Moshe bo el-Par'oh vedibarta elav koh amar Adonay Elohey ha'Ivrim shalach et-ami veya'avduni.

אוַיֹּ֤אמֶר יְהֹוָה֙ אֶל־משֶׁ֔ה בֹּ֖א אֶל־פַּרְעֹ֑ה וְדִבַּרְתָּ֣ אֵלָ֗יו כֹּֽה־אָמַ֤ר יְהֹוָה֙ אֱלֹהֵ֣י הָֽעִבְרִ֔ים שַׁלַּ֥ח אֶת־עַמִּ֖י וְיַֽעַבְדֻֽנִי:

9:2

For if you refuse to let them leave, and continue holding them, 
Ki im-ma'en atah leshale'ach ve'odecha machazik bam.

בכִּ֛י אִם־מָאֵ֥ן אַתָּ֖ה לְשַׁלֵּ֑חַ וְעֽוֹדְךָ֖ מַֽחֲזִ֥יק בָּֽם:

9:3

God's power will be directed against your livestock in the field. The horses, donkeys, camels, cattle and sheep [will die from] a very serious epidemic. 
Hineh yad Adonay hoyah bemiknecha asher basadeh basusim bachamorim bagmalim babakar uvatson dever kaved me'od.

9:4

'God will [again] make a miraculous distinction, [this time] between Israel's livestock and that of Egypt. Not a single [animal] belonging to the Israelites will die. 
Vehiflah Adonay beyn mikneh Yisra'el uveyn mikneh Mitsrayim velo yamut mikol-livney Yisra'el davar.

9:5

God has set a fixed time, and has announced that He will strike the land with this tomorrow.' 
Vayasem Adonay mo'ed lemor machar ya'aseh Adonay hadavar hazeh ba'arets.

9:6

On the next day, God did this, and all the livestock in Egypt died. Of the Israelites' livestock, however, not a single one was affected. 
Vaya'as Adonay et-hadavar hazeh mimochorat vayamot kol mikneh Mitsrayim umimikneh veney-Yisra'el lo-met echad.

9:7

Pharaoh sent word and discovered that among the Israelites' livestock, not a single [animal] had died. But Pharaoh remained obstinate and would not let the people leave. 
Vayishlach Par'oh vehineh lo-met mimikneh Yisra'el ad-echad vayichbad lev Par'oh velo shilach et-ha'am.

9:8

God said to Moses and Aaron, 'Take a handful of furnace soot and throw it up in the air before Pharaoh's eyes. 
Vayomer Adonay el-Moshe ve'el-Aharon kechu lachem melo chofneychem piach kivshan uzrako Moshe hashamaymah le'eyney Far'oh.

9:9

It will settle as dust on all Egypt, and when it falls on man or beast anywhere in Egypt, it will cause a rash breaking out into boils.' 
Vehayah le'avak al kol-erets Mitsrayim vehayah al-ha'adam ve'al-habehemah lishchin pore'ach avabu'ot bechol-erets Mitsrayim.

9:10

They took the furnace soot and stood before Pharaoh. Moses threw it up in the air, and it caused a rash, which broke into boils, in man and beasts. 
Vayikchu et-piach hakivshan vaya'amdu lifney Far'oh vayizrok oto Moshe hashamaymah vayehi shchin avabu'ot pore'ach ba'adam uvabehemah.

9:11

The master symbolists could not stand before Moses as a result of the rash, since the rash had attacked the symbolists [along with] the rest of Egypt. 
Velo yachlu hachartumim la'amod lifney Moshe mipney hashchin ki-hayah hashchin bachartumim uvechol-Mitsrayim.

9:12

[Now it was] God who made Pharaoh obstinate. He did not listen to [Moses and Aaron], just as God had predicted. 
Vayechazek Adonay et-lev Par'oh velo shama alehem ka'asher diber Adonay el-Moshe.

9:13

God told Moses to get up early in the morning and confront Pharaoh, saying to him in the name of God, Lord of the Hebrews, 'Let My people leave and serve Me. 
Vayomer Adonay el-Moshe hashkem baboker vehityatsev lifney Far'oh ve'amarta elav koh-amar Adonay Elohey ha'Ivrim shalach et-ami veya'avduni.

9:15

'I could have unleashed My power, killing you and your people with the epidemic [sent against the animals], and you would have been obliterated from the world. 
Ki atah shalachti et-yadi va'ach otecha ve'et-amecha badaver vatikached min-ha'arets.

9:16

The only reason I let you survive was to show you My strength, so that My name will be discussed all over the world.

9:18

At this time tomorrow, I will bring a very heavy hail. Never before in Egypt, since the day it was founded, has there been anything like it.

9:19

'Now send word and make arrangements to shelter your livestock and everything else you have in the field. Any man or beast who remains in the field, and does not come indoors, will be pelted by the hail and will die.' 
Ve'atah shlach ha'ez et-miknecha ve'et kol-asher lecha basadeh kol-ha'adam vehabehemah asher-yimatse vasadeh velo ye'asef habaytah veyarad alehem habarad vametu.

9:20

Some of Pharaoh's subjects feared God's word, and they made their slaves and livestock flee indoors. 
Hayare et-dvar Adonay me'avdey Par'oh henis et-avadav ve'et-miknehu el-habatim.

9:21

But those who did not fear God's word left their slaves and livestock in the field.

9:22

God said to Moses, 'Stretch out your had toward the sky, and there will be hail throughout all Egypt. [It will fall] on man and beast, and on all outdoor plants all over Egypt. 
Vayomer Adonay el-Moshe neteh et-yadcha al-hashamayim vyhi varad bechol-erets Mitsrayim al-ha'adam ve'al-habehemah ve'al kol-esev hasadeh be'erets Mitsrayim.

9:23

Moses pointed his staff at the sky, and God caused it to thunder and hail, with lightning striking the ground. God then made it hail on the land of Egypt. 
Vayet Moshe et-matehu al-hashamayim va'Adonay natan kolot uvarad vatihalach-esh artsah vayamter Adonay barad al-erets Mitsrayim.

9:24

There was hail, with lightning flashing among the hailstones. It was extremely heavy, unlike anything Egypt had experienced since it became a nation.

9:25

Throughout all Egypt, the hail killed every man and animal who was outdoors. The hail destroyed all the outdoor plants, and smashed every tree in the fields. 
Vayach habarad bechol-erets Mitsrayim et kol-asher basadeh me'adam ve'ad-behemah ve'et kol-esev hasadeh hikah habarad ve'et-kol-ets hasadeh shiber.

Only in Goshen, where the Israelites lived, there was no hail.

Pharaoh sent word and summoned Moses and Aaron. He said to them, 'This time I am guilty! God is Just! It is I and my people who are in the wrong!

Moses said to him, 'When I go out of the city, I will spread my hands [in prayer] to God. The thunder will then stop, and there will not be any more hail. You will then know that the whole world belongs to God.

9:31

The flax and barley have been destroyed, since the barley was ripe, and the flax had formed stalks.

Moses left Pharaoh's presence, and went out of the city. As soon as he spread his hands out to God, the thunder ceased, and the hail and rain stopped falling to the ground.
