He spoke, and the locusts came, young locusts 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，

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 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.

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

Then the Lord said to Moses,“ Stretch out your hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, so that they may come upon the land of Egypt and eat every plant in the land, all that the hail has left.”So Moses stretched out his staff over the land of Egypt, and the Lord brought an east wind upon the land all that day and all that night. When it was morning, the east wind had brought the locusts.The locusts came up over all the land of Egypt and settled on the whole country of Egypt, such a dense swarm of locusts as had never been before, nor ever will be again.They covered the face of the whole land, so that the land was darkened, and they ate all the plants in the land and all the fruit of the trees that the hail had left. Not a green thing remained, neither tree nor plant of the field, through all the land of Egypt.

He gave their crops to the destroying locust and the fruit of their labor to the locust.

Then from the smoke came locusts on the earth, and they were given power like the power of scorpions of the earth.They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any green plant or any tree, but only those people who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads.They were allowed to torment them for five months, but not to kill them, and their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it stings someone.And in those days people will seek death and will not find it. They will long to die, but death will flee from them.In appearance the locusts were like horses prepared for battle: on their heads were what looked like crowns of gold; their faces were like human faces,their hair like women’s hair, and their teeth like lions’ teeth;they had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the noise of their wings was like the noise of many chariots with horses rushing into battle.They have tails and stings like scorpions, and their power to hurt people for five months is in their tails.

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

What the cutting locust left, the swarming locust has eaten. What the swarming locust left, the hopping locust has eaten, and what the hopping locust left, the destroying locust has eaten.Awake, you drunkards, and weep, and 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 against my land, powerful and beyond number; its teeth are lions’ teeth, and it has the fangs of a lioness.It has laid waste my vine and splintered my fig tree; it has stripped off their bark and thrown it down; their branches are made white.
