      [Clamó a Moysen e a Pharaon e dixo “Pequé al vuestro Sennor Dios. Rogad por mí que me perdone esta vez sola, e riedre de sobre mí esta muert.” Rogo Moysen al nuestro Sennor, e veno viento de favonno e echó toda la langosta en la mar. Por todo esto non dexó fijos de Israel.]
      Pharaoh called Moses and said, “I have sinned against your Lord God. Pray that He forgive me just this once, and that he remove this death from over me.” [So] Moses prayed to Our Lord, and the west wind came and cast all the locusts into the sea. [But] after all of this he did not let the children of Israel go.
