出埃及记 8
1 耶和华吩咐摩西说：“你进去见法老，对他说：‘耶和华这样说：容我的百姓去，好事奉我。
The Lord also said to Moses: “Enter to Pharaoh, and you will say to him: ‘Thus says the Lord: Release my people in order to sacrifice to me.
2 你若不肯容他们去，我必使青蛙糟蹋你的四境。
But if you are not willing to release them, behold, I will strike all your coasts with frogs.
3 河里要滋生青蛙；这青蛙要上来进你的宫殿和你的卧房，上你的床榻，进你臣仆的房屋，上你百姓的身上，进你的炉灶和你的抟面盆，
And the river will seethe with frogs, which will go up and enter into your house, and your bedroom, and upon your bed, and into the houses of your servants and your people, and into your ovens, and into the remains of your foods.
4 又要上你和你百姓并你众臣仆的身上。’”
And to you, and to your people, and to all your servants, the frogs will enter.’”
5 耶和华晓谕摩西说：“你对亚伦说：‘把你的杖伸在江、河、池以上，使青蛙到埃及地上来。’”
And the Lord said to Moses: “Say to Aaron: ‘Extend your hand over the rivers, and also over the streams and the marshes, and bring forth frogs over the land of Egypt.’”
6 亚伦便伸杖在埃及的诸水以上，青蛙就上来，遮满了埃及地。
And Aaron extended his hand over the waters of Egypt, and the frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt.
7 行法术的也用他们的邪术照样而行，叫青蛙上了埃及地。
Then the sorcerers also, by their incantations, did similarly, and they brought forth frogs upon the land of Egypt.
8 法老召了摩西、亚伦来，说：“请你们求耶和华使这青蛙离开我和我的民，我就容百姓去祭祀耶和华。”
But Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron, and he said to them: “Pray to the Lord, so as to take away the frogs from me and from my people. And I will release the people, so as to sacrifice to the Lord.”
9 摩西对法老说：“任凭你吧，我要何时为你和你的臣仆并你的百姓祈求，除灭青蛙离开你和你的宫殿只留在河里呢？”
And Moses said to Pharaoh: “Appoint for me a time, when I should petition on behalf of you, and your servants, and your people, so that the frogs may be driven away from you, and from your house, and from your servants, and from your people, and so that they may remain only in the river.”
10 他说：“明天。”摩西说：“可以照你的话吧，好叫你知道没有像耶和华—我们 神的。
And he responded, “Tomorrow.” Then he said, “I will act according to your word, so that you may know that there is no one like the Lord our God.
11 青蛙要离开你和你的宫殿，并你的臣仆与你的百姓，只留在河里。”
And the frogs will withdraw from you, and from your house, and from your servants, and from your people. And they will remain only in the river.”
12 于是摩西、亚伦离开法老出去。摩西为扰害法老的青蛙呼求耶和华。
And Moses and Aaron departed from Pharaoh. And Moses cried out to the Lord on behalf of the promise that he had made to Pharaoh concerning the frogs.
13 耶和华就照摩西的话行。凡在房里、院中、田间的青蛙都死了。
And the Lord acted according to the word of Moses. And the frogs died out of the houses, and out of the villages, and out of the fields.
14 众人把青蛙聚拢成堆，遍地就都腥臭。
And they gathered them together into immense piles, and the land was polluted.
15 但法老见灾祸松缓，就硬着心，不肯听他们，正如耶和华所说的。
Then Pharaoh, seeing that relief had been provided, hardened his own heart, and he did not listen to them, just as the Lord had instructed.
16 耶和华吩咐摩西说：“你对亚伦说：‘伸出你的杖击打地上的尘土，使尘土在埃及遍地变作虱子。’”
And the Lord said to Moses: “Say to Aaron: ‘Extend your staff and strike the dust of the earth. And let there be stinging insects throughout the entire the land of Egypt.’”
17 他们就这样行。亚伦伸杖击打地上的尘土，就在人身上和牲畜身上有了虱子；埃及遍地的尘土都变成虱子了。
And they did so. And Aaron extended his hand, holding the staff, and he struck the dust of the earth, and there came stinging insects upon men and upon beasts. All the dust of the earth was turned into stinging insects through all the land of Egypt.
18 行法术的也用邪术要生出虱子来，却是不能。于是在人身上和牲畜身上都有了虱子。
And the sorcerers, with their incantations, did similarly, in order to bring forth stinging insects, but they were not able. And there were stinging insects, as much on men as on beasts.
19 行法术的就对法老说：“这是 神的手段。”法老心里刚硬，不肯听摩西、亚伦，正如耶和华所说的。
And the sorcerers said to Pharaoh: “This is the finger of God.” And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not listen to them, just as the Lord had instructed.
20 耶和华对摩西说：“你清早起来，法老来到水边，你站在他面前，对他说：‘耶和华这样说：容我的百姓去，好事奉我。
The Lord also said to Moses: “Arise at first light, and stand in the sight of Pharaoh, for he will go out to the waters. And you will say to him: ‘Thus says the Lord: Release my people to sacrifice to me.
21 你若不容我的百姓去，我要叫成群的苍蝇到你和你臣仆并你百姓的身上，进你的房屋，并且埃及人的房屋和他们所住的地都要满了成群的苍蝇。
But if you will not release them, behold, I will send upon you, and upon your servants, and upon your people, and into your houses, diverse kinds of flies. And the houses of the Egyptians will be filled with diverse kinds of flies, as well as the whole land in which they will be.
22 当那日，我必分别我百姓所住的歌珊地，使那里没有成群的苍蝇，好叫你知道我是天下的耶和华。
And in that day, I will cause a miracle in the land of Goshen, where my people are, so that flies will not be there. And you will know that I am the Lord in the midst of the earth.
23 我要将我的百姓和你的百姓分别出来。明天必有这神迹。’”
And I will set a division between my people and your people. Tomorrow this sign will be.’”
24 耶和华就这样行。苍蝇成了大群，进入法老的宫殿，和他臣仆的房屋；埃及遍地就因这成群的苍蝇败坏了。
And the Lord did so. And there came very grievous flies into the houses of Pharaoh and of his servants, and into all the land of Egypt. And the land was polluted, in this way, by the flies.
25 法老召了摩西、亚伦来，说：“你们去，在这地祭祀你们的 神吧！”
And Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron, and he said to them, “Go and sacrifice to your God in this land.”
26 摩西说：“这样行本不相宜，因为我们要把埃及人所厌恶的祭祀耶和华—我们的 神；若把埃及人所厌恶的在他们眼前献为祭，他们岂不拿石头打死我们吗？
And Moses said: “It cannot be so. For we will immolate the abominations of the Egyptians to the Lord our God. For if we slaughter those things which the Egyptians worship, in their presence, they will stone us.
27 我们要往旷野去，走三天的路程，照着耶和华—我们 神所要吩咐我们的祭祀他。”
We will sojourn three days’ journey into the wilderness. And we will sacrifice to the Lord our God, just as he has instructed us.”
28 法老说：“我容你们去，在旷野祭祀耶和华—你们的 神；只是不要走得很远。求你们为我祈祷。”
And Pharaoh said: “I will release you in order to sacrifice to the Lord your God in the desert. Yet you may only go so far. Petition for me.”
29 摩西说：“我要出去求耶和华，使成群的苍蝇明天离开法老和法老的臣仆并法老的百姓；法老却不可再行诡诈，不容百姓去祭祀耶和华。”
And Moses said: “After departing from you, I will pray to the Lord. And the flies will withdraw from Pharaoh, and from his servants, and from his people, tomorrow. Yet do not be willing to deceive any longer, so that you would not release the people to sacrifice to the Lord.”
30 于是摩西离开法老去求耶和华。
And Moses, departing from Pharaoh, prayed to the Lord.
31 耶和华就照摩西的话行，叫成群的苍蝇离开法老和他的臣仆并他的百姓，一个也没有留下。
And he acted according to his word. And he took away the flies from Pharaoh, and from his servants, and from his people. There was not even one left behind.
32 这一次法老又硬着心，不容百姓去。
And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, so that, even at this turn, he would not release the people.
