1 And Jehovah said to Moses, Go unto Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith Jehovah: Let my people go, that they may serve me.
2 And if thou refuse to let {them} go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs.
3 And the river shall swarm with frogs, and they shall go up and come into thy house, and into thy bedroom, and upon thy bed, and into the house of thy bondmen, and upon thy people, and into thine ovens, and into thy kneading-troughs.
4 And the frogs shall come up both upon thee and upon thy people, and upon all thy bondmen.
5 And Jehovah said to Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy hand with thy staff over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and cause frogs to come up on the land of Egypt.
6 And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt.
7 And the scribes did so with their sorceries, and brought up frogs on the land of Egypt.
8 And Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron, and said, Intreat Jehovah, that he may take away the frogs from me and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may sacrifice to Jehovah.
9 And Moses said to Pharaoh, Glory over me, for what time shall I intreat for thee, and for thy bondmen, and for thy people, to cut off the frogs from thee and from thy houses; {so that} they shall remain in the river only?
10 And he said, For to-morrow. And he said, Be it according to thy word; that thou mayest know that there is none like Jehovah our God.
11 And the frogs shall depart from thee, and from thy houses, and from thy bondmen, and from thy people: they shall remain in the river only.
12 And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh; and Moses cried to Jehovah because of the frogs that he had brought against Pharaoh.
13 And Jehovah did according to the word of Moses; and the frogs died out of the houses, out of the courts, and out of the fields.
14 And they gathered them in heaps; and the land stank.
15 And Pharaoh saw that there was respite; and he hardened his heart, and hearkened not to them, as Jehovah had said.
16 And Jehovah said to Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy staff, and smite the dust of the earth, and it shall become gnats throughout the land of Egypt.
17 And they did so; and Aaron stretched out his hand with his staff, and smote the dust of the earth, and there arose gnats on man and on beast: all the dust of the land became gnats throughout the land of Egypt.
18 And the scribes did so with their sorceries, to bring forth gnats; but they could not. And the gnats were on man and on beast.
19 Then the scribes said to Pharaoh, This is the finger of God! But Pharaoh's heart was stubborn, and he hearkened not to them, as Jehovah had said.
20 And Jehovah said to Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh-behold, he will go out to the water-and say to him, Thus saith Jehovah, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
21 For, if thou do not let my people go, behold, I will send dog-flies upon thee, and upon thy bondmen, and upon thy people, and into thy houses; and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of dog-flies, and also the ground on which they are.
22 And I will distinguish in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no dog-flies shall be there; that thou mayest know that I Jehovah am in the midst of the land.
23 And I will put a separation between my people and thy people; to-morrow shall this sign be.
24 And Jehovah did so; and there came dog-flies in a multitude into the house of Pharaoh, and {into} the houses of his bondmen; and throughout the land of Egypt, the land was corrupted by the dog-flies.
25 And Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron, and said, Go, sacrifice to your God in the land.
26 And Moses said, It is not proper to do so; for we should sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to Jehovah our God: lo, if we sacrificed the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, would they not stone us?
27 We will go three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to Jehovah our God, as he shall command us.
28 And Pharaoh said, I will let you go, that you may sacrifice to Jehovah your God in the wilderness; only, go not very far away: intreat for me!
29 And Moses said, Behold, I go out from thee, and will intreat Jehovah; and the dog-flies will depart from Pharaoh, from his bondmen, and from his people, to-morrow; only let not Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to Jehovah.
30 And Moses went out from Pharaoh, and intreated Jehovah.
31 And Jehovah did according to the word of Moses; and he removed the dog-flies from Pharaoh, from his bondmen, and from his people; there remained not one.
32 And Pharaoh hardened his heart this time also, and would not let the people go.
1 耶和华对摩西说: "你到法老那里去, 对他说: ‘耶和华这样说: "让我的人民离开这里, 使他们可以事奉我。
2 如果你拒绝让他们离开这里, 看哪, 我必用青蛙击打你的全境。
3 河里必滋生青蛙; 青蛙必上来, 进到你的宫殿和卧房里去, 跳上你的床, 进你臣仆的房屋, 跳上你人民的身上, 进你的炉子和抟面盆。
4 青蛙也必跳上你、你的人民和臣仆的身上。"’"(本章第1-4节在《马索拉抄本》为7:26-29)
5 耶和华对摩西说: "你要对亚伦说把手中的杖伸在江、河、池之上, 使青蛙上到埃及地来。"(本节在《马索拉抄本》为8:1)
6 亚伦把手一伸在埃及的众水之上, 青蛙就上来了, 并且遮盖了埃及地。
7 众术士也用他们的巫术照样行了, 使青蛙上了埃及地来。
8 法老把摩西和亚伦召了来, 说: "请你们恳求耶和华, 好叫他使青蛙离开我和我的人民, 我就必让这人民离开这里, 使他们可以向耶和华献祭。"
9 摩西回答法老: "请指示, 我要在什么时候为你和你的臣仆, 以及你的人民, 恳求耶和华除灭青蛙, 使青蛙离开你和你的宫殿, 只留在河里呢?"
10 法老说: "明天。"摩西回答: "就照着你的话行吧, 好叫你知道没有神像耶和华我们的 神。
11 青蛙必离开你和你的宫殿、你的臣仆和你的人民, 只留在河里。"
12 于是, 摩西和亚伦离开法老走了出来; 摩西为了耶和华加在法老身上青蛙的灾害向耶和华呼求。
13 耶和华就照着摩西的话行了; 在房屋里、院子里和田野中的青蛙都死了。
14 有人把青蛙一堆一堆积聚起来, 那地就发臭了。
15 法老一见灾祸平息了, 就心里刚硬, 不肯听他们的话, 就像耶和华所说的。
16 耶和华对摩西说: "你要对亚伦说: ‘伸出你的手杖, 击打地上的尘土, 使尘土在埃及全地都变成虱子。’"
17 他们就这样行了; 亚伦伸出手中的杖, 击打地上的尘土, 就在人身上和牲畜身上有了虱子; 埃及全地所有地上的尘土都变成了虱子。
18 众术士也用他们的巫术照样行, 要生出虱子来, 却不能办到; 所以在人身上和牲畜身上都有虱子。
19 众术士就对法老说: "这是 神的手指头。"法老却心里刚硬, 不肯听摩西和亚伦, 就像耶和华所说的。
20 耶和华对摩西说: "你要清早起来, 站在法老面前; 看哪, 法老到水边来的时候, 你要对他说: ‘耶和华这样说: 你要让我的人民离开这里, 使他们可以事奉我。
21 如果你不让我的人民离开这里, 看哪, 我必叫苍蝇落在你和你臣仆, 以及人民的身上, 进到你的宫殿; 埃及人的房屋都必充满苍蝇, 他们所在的地方也是这样。
22 那日, 我必把我人民居住的地方歌珊分别出来, 使那里没有苍蝇, 为要使你知道在全地上只有我是耶和华。
23 我必把我的人民和你的人民分别出来, 明天必有这神迹。’"
24 耶和华就这样行了; 无数的苍蝇进了法老的宫殿和他臣仆的房屋, 并且遍布埃及全地; 那地就因为苍蝇的缘故毁坏了。
25 法老把摩西和亚伦召了来, 对他们说: "你们去, 在这地献祭给你们的 神吧。"
26 摩西回答: "决不可以这样行, 因为我们要把埃及人看为可憎的祭物献给耶和华我们的 神; 如果我们把埃及人看为可憎的祭物在他们眼前献上, 难道他们不拿石头打死我们吗?
27 我们要走三天的路程进到旷野, 好照着耶和华吩咐我们的, 向耶和华我们的 神献祭。"
28 法老回答: "我必让你们离开这里, 你们可以在旷野献祭给耶和华你们的 神, 只是你们不可走得太远; 请你们为我祈祷。"
29 摩西说: "看哪, 我要离开你出去, 祈求耶和华, 使苍蝇明天可以离开法老和法老的臣仆, 以及法老的人民, 只是不可再行欺骗, 不让以色列人离开这里去献祭给耶和华。"
30 于是, 摩西从法老那里出来, 去祈求耶和华。
31 耶和华就照着摩西的话行了, 使苍蝇离开了法老和他的臣仆, 以及他的人民, 连一只也没有留下。
32 可是, 这一次法老还是心里刚硬, 不肯让以色列人离开。
