出埃及記 8
1 耶和華吩咐摩西說：「你進去見法老，對他說：『耶和華這樣說：容我的百姓去，好事奉我。
And the Lord said to Moses, Go in to Pharao, and you shall say to him, These things says the Lord: send forth my people, that they may serve me.
2 你若不肯容他們去，我必使青蛙糟蹋你的四境。
And if you will not send them forth, behold, I afflict all your borders with frogs:
3 河裏要滋生青蛙；這青蛙要上來進你的宮殿和你的臥房，上你的床榻，進你臣僕的房屋，上你百姓的身上，進你的爐訿和你的摶麵盆，
and the river shall teem with frogs, and they shall go up and enter into your houses, and into your bed-chambers, and upon your beds, and upon the houses of your servants, and of your people and on your dough, and on your ovens.
4 又要上你和你百姓並你眾臣僕的身上。』」
And upon you, and upon your servants, and upon your people, shall the frogs come up.
5 耶和華曉諭摩西說：「你對亞倫說：『把你的杖伸在江、河、池以上，使青蛙到埃及地上來。』」
And the Lord said to Moses, Say to Aaron your brother, Stretch forth with the hand your rod over the rivers, and over the canals, and over the pools, and bring up the frogs.
6 亞倫便伸杖在埃及的諸水以上，青蛙就上來，遮滿了埃及地。
And Aaron stretched forth his hand over the waters of Egypt, and brought up the frogs: and the frog was brought up, and covered the land of Egypt.
7 行法術的也用他們的邪術照樣而行，叫青蛙上了埃及地。
And the charmers of the Egyptians also did likewise with their sorceries, and brought up the frogs on the land of Egypt.
8 法老召了摩西、亞倫來，說：「請你們求耶和華使這青蛙離開我和我的民，我就容百姓去祭祀耶和華。」
And Pharao called Moses and Aaron, and said, Pray for me to the Lord, and let him take away the frogs from me and from my people; and I will send them away, and they shall sacrifice to the Lord.
9 摩西對法老說：「任憑你吧，我要何時為你和你的臣僕並你的百姓祈求，除滅青蛙離開你和你的宮殿只留在河裏呢？」
And Moses said to Pharao, Appoint me [a time] when I shall pray for you, and for your servants, and for your people, to cause the frogs to disappear from you, and from your people, and from your houses, only in the river shall they be left behind.
10 他說：「明天。」摩西說：「可以照你的話吧，好叫你知道沒有像耶和華－我們上帝的。
And he said, On the morrow: he said therefore, As you has said; that you may know, that there is no other [God] but the Lord.
11 青蛙要離開你和你的宮殿，並你的臣僕與你的百姓，只留在河裏。」
And the frogs shall be removed away from you, and from your houses and from the villages, and from your servants, and from your people, only in the river they shall be left.
12 於是摩西、亞倫離開法老出去。摩西為擾害法老的青蛙呼求耶和華。
And Moses and Aaron went forth from Pharao, and Moses cried to the Lord concerning the restriction of the frogs, as Pharao appointed him.
13 耶和華就照摩西的話行。凡在房裏、院中、田間的青蛙都死了。
And the Lord did as Moses said, and the frogs died out of the houses, and out of the villages, and out of the fields.
14 眾人把青蛙聚攏成堆，遍地就都腥臭。
And they gathered them together in heaps, and the land stank.
15 但法老見災禍鬆緩，就硬着心，不肯聽他們，正如耶和華所說的。
And when Pharao saw that there was relief, his heart was hardened, and he did not listen to them, as the Lord spoke.
16 耶和華吩咐摩西說：「你對亞倫說：『伸出你的杖擊打地上的塵土，使塵土在埃及遍地變作虱子。』」
And the Lord said to Moses, Say to Aaron, Stretch forth your rod with your hand and strike the dust of the earth; and there shall be lice both upon man, and upon quadrupeds, and in all the land of Egypt.
17 他們就這樣行。亞倫伸杖擊打地上的塵土，就在人身上和牲畜身上有了虱子；埃及遍地的塵土都變成虱子了。
So Aaron stretched out his rod with his hand, and struck the dust of the earth; and the lice were on men and on quadrupeds, and in all the dust of the earth there were lice.
18 行法術的也用邪術要生出虱子來，卻是不能。於是在人身上和牲畜身上都有了虱子。
And the charmers also did so with their sorceries, to bring forth the louse, and they could not. And the lice were both on the men and on the quadrupeds.
19 行法術的就對法老說：「這是上帝的手段。」法老心裏剛硬，不肯聽摩西、亞倫，正如耶和華所說的。
So the charmers said to Pharao, This is the finger of God. But the heart of Pharao was hardened, and he listened not to them, as the Lord said.
20 耶和華對摩西說：「你清早起來，法老來到水邊，你站在他面前，對他說：『耶和華這樣說：容我的百姓去，好事奉我。
And the Lord said to Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharao: and behold, he will go forth to the water, and you shall say to him, These things says the Lord: Send away my people, that they may serve me in the wilderness.
21 你若不容我的百姓去，我要叫成群的蒼蠅到你和你臣僕並你百姓的身上，進你的房屋，並且埃及人的房屋和他們所住的地都要滿了成群的蒼蠅。
And if you will not let my people go, behold, I send upon you, and upon your servants, and upon your people, and upon your houses, the dog-fly; and the houses of the Egyptians shall be filled with the dog-fly, even throughout the land upon which they are.
22 當那日，我必分別我百姓所住的歌珊地，使那裏沒有成群的蒼蠅，好叫你知道我是天下的耶和華。
and I will distinguish marvelously in that day the land of Gesem, on which my people dwell, in which the dog-fly shall not be: that you may know that I am the Lord the God of all the earth.
23 我要將我的百姓和你的百姓分別出來。明天必有這神蹟。』」
And I will put a difference between my people and your people, and on the morrow shall this be on the land. And the Lord did thus.
24 耶和華就這樣行。蒼蠅成了大群，進入法老的宮殿，和他臣僕的房屋；埃及遍地就因這成群的蒼蠅敗壞了。
And the dog-fly came in abundance into the houses of Pharao, and into the houses of his servants, and into all the land of Egypt; and the land was destroyed by the dog-fly.
25 法老召了摩西、亞倫來，說：「你們去，在這地祭祀你們的上帝吧！」
And Pharao called Moses and Aaron, saying, Go and sacrifice to the Lord your God in the land.
26 摩西說：「這樣行本不相宜，因為我們要把埃及人所厭惡的祭祀耶和華－我們的上帝；若把埃及人所厭惡的在他們眼前獻為祭，他們豈不拿石頭打死我們嗎？
And Moses said, It can’t be so, for we shall sacrifice to the Lord our God the abominations of the Egyptians; for if we sacrifice the abominations of the Egyptians before them, we shall be stoned.
27 我們要往曠野去，走三天的路程，照着耶和華－我們上帝所要吩咐我們的祭祀他。」
We will go a journey of three days into the wilderness, and we will sacrifice to the Lord our God, as the Lord said to us.
28 法老說：「我容你們去，在曠野祭祀耶和華－你們的上帝；只是不要走得很遠。求你們為我祈禱。」
And Pharao said, I [will] let you go, and do you sacrifice to your God in the wilderness, but do not go very far away: pray then for me to the Lord.
29 摩西說：「我要出去求耶和華，使成群的蒼蠅明天離開法老和法老的臣僕並法老的百姓；法老卻不可再行詭詐，不容百姓去祭祀耶和華。」
And Moses said, I then will go forth from you and pray to God, and the dog-fly shall depart both from your servants, and from your people to-morrow. Do not you, Pharao, deceive again, so as not to send the people away to do sacrifice to the Lord.
30 於是摩西離開法老去求耶和華。
And Moses went out from Pharao, and prayed to God.
31 耶和華就照摩西的話行，叫成群的蒼蠅離開法老和他的臣僕並他的百姓，一個也沒有留下。
And the Lord did as Moses said, and removed the dog-fly from Pharao, and from his servants, and from his people, and there was not one left.
32 這一次法老又硬着心，不容百姓去。
And Pharao hardened his heart, even on this occasion, and he would not send the people away.
