He spoke, and 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，

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，

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 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, that they may come upon the land of Egypt, and eat every herb of the land— all that the hail has left.”So Moses stretched out his rod over the land of Egypt, and the Lord brought an east wind on the land all that day and all that night. When it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts.And the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt and rested on all the territory of Egypt. They were very severe; previously there had been no such locusts as they, nor shall there be such after them.For they covered the face 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. So there remained nothing green on the trees or on the plants of the field throughout all the land of Egypt.

He also gave their crops to the caterpillar, And their labor to the locust.

Then out of the smoke locusts came upon the earth. And to them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.They were commanded not to harm the grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree, but only those men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads.And they were not given authority to kill them, but to torment them for five months. Their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it strikes a man.In those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will desire to die, and death will flee from them.The shape of the locusts was like horses prepared for battle. On their heads were crowns of something like gold, and their faces were like the faces of men.They had hair like women’s hair, and their teeth were like lions’ teeth.And they had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots with many horses running into battle.They had tails like scorpions, and there were stings in their tails. Their power was to hurt men five months.

“ So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, The crawling locust, The consuming locust, And the chewing locust, My great army which I sent among you.

What the chewing locust left, the swarming locust has eaten; What the swarming locust left, the crawling locust has eaten; And what the crawling locust left, the consuming locust has eaten.Awake, you drunkards, and weep; And wail, all you drinkers of wine, Because of the new wine, For it has been cut off from your mouth.For a nation has come up against My land, Strong, and without number; His teeth are the teeth of a lion, And he has the fangs of a fierce lion.He has laid waste My vine, And ruined My fig tree; He has stripped it bare and thrown it away; Its branches are made white.
