2 Mosebog 8

1 Og Herren sagde til Mose: Gak til Farao, og du skal sige til ham: Saa siger Herren: Lad mit Folk fare, at de kunne tjene mig.

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 Og dersom du vægrer dig ved at lade dem fare, se, da vil jeg plage hele dit Landemærke med Frøer.

And if you will not send them forth, behold, I afflict all your borders with frogs:

3 Og Floden skal vrimle med Frøer, og de skulle hoppe op og komme i dit Hus og i dit Sengekammer og paa din Seng og i dine Tjeneres Hus og iblandt dit Folk og i dine Ovne og i dine Dejgtruge.

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 Og Frøerne skulle hoppe op paa dig og paa dit Folk og paa alle dine Tjenere.

And upon you, and upon your servants, and upon your people, shall the frogs come up.

5 Og Herren sagde til Mose: Sig til Aron: Ræk din Haand ud med din Stav over Strømmene, over Floderne og over Søerne, og lad Frøerne komme op over Ægyptens Land.

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 Og Aron rakte sin Haand ud over Vandene i Ægypten, og der kom Frøer op og skjulte Ægyptens Land.

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 Og Koglerne gjorde ligesaa med deres Besværgelser, og de lode Frøer komme op over Ægyptens Land.

And the charmers of the Egyptians also did likewise with their sorceries, and brought up the frogs on the land of Egypt.

8 Da kaldte Farao ad Mose og Aron og sagde: Beder til Herren, at han borttager Frøerne fra mig og fra mit Folk, saa vil jeg lade Folket fare, og de maa ofre til Herren.

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 Og Mose sagde til Farao: Hav du fremfor mig den Ære at sige, naar jeg skal bede for dig og for dine Tjenere og for dit Folk, at Frøerne skulle fordrives fra dig og fra dine Huse; kun i Floden skulle de blive tilbage.

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 Og han sagde: I Morgen; og han sagde: Efter dit Ord! at du skal fornemme, at der er ikke nogen som Herren vor Gud,

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 saa skulle Frøerne vige fra dig og fra dine Huse og fra dine Tjenere, og fra dit Folk; kun i Floden skulle de blive tilbage.

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 Saa gik Mose og Aron ud fra Farao; og Mose raabte til Herren angaaende de Frøer, som han havde paaført Farao.

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 Og Herren gjorde efter Mose Ord; saa døde Frøerne bort af Husene, af Gaardene og af Agrene.

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 Og de samlede dem sammen, Hob ved Hob, og Landet stinkede.

And they gathered them together in heaps, and the land stank.

15 Der Farao saa, at han havde faaet Luft, da forhærdede han sit Hjerte, og han hørte dem ikke, som Herren havde sagt.

And when Pharao saw that there was relief, his heart was hardened, and he did not listen to them, as the Lord spoke.

16 Og Herren sagde til Mose: Sig til Aron: Ræk din Stav ud, og slaa Støvet paa Jorden; det skal blive til Lus i hele Ægyptens Land.

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 Og de gjorde saa; og Aron udstrakte sin Haand med sin Stav og slog Støvet paa Jorden, og der blev Lus paa Mennesker og paa Kvæget; alt Støvet i Landet blev til Lus i hele Ægyptens Land.

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 Og Koglerne gjorde ligesaa med deres Besværgelser for at lade Lus komme frem, men de kunde ikke; og der var Lus paa Menneskene og paa Kvæget.

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 Da sagde Koglerne til Farao: Det er Guds Finger; men Faraos Hjerte forhærdedes, saa at han ikke hørte dem, som Herren havde sagt.

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 Og Herren sagde til Mose: Staa aarle op om Morgenen, og stil dig for Farao; se, han gaar ud til Vandet, og du skal sige til ham: Saa siger Herren: Lad mit Folk fare, at de maa tjene mig.

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 Thi dersom du ikke lader mit Folk fare, se, da lader jeg komme alle Haande Utøj paa dig og paa dine Tjenere og paa dit Folk og i dine Huse, at Ægypternes Huse skulle vorde fulde af allehaande Utøj, og tilmed Jorden, hvorpaa de ere.

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 Og paa den samme Dag vil jeg udskille Gosen Land, i hvilket mit Folk er, at der ikke skal være alle Haande Utøj der, paa det du skal fornemme, at jeg er Herren midt i Landet.

and I will distinguish marvellously 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 Og jeg vil sætte en Frelse til at skille imellem mit Folk og imellem dit Folk; i Morgen skal det Tegn ske.

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 Og Herren gjorde saa; og der kom en svær Hob Utøj i Faraos Hus og i hans Tjeneres Hus, og i hele Ægyptens Land blev Landet fordærvet af alle Haande Utøj.

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 Og Farao kaldte ad Mose og ad Aron og sagde: Gaar hen, ofrer til eders Gud i dette Land.

And Pharao called Moses and Aaron, saying, Go and sacrifice to the Lord your God in the land.

26 Og Mose sagde: Det maa ikke ske, at vi saa gøre; thi vi skulde da ofre til Herren vor Gud, Ægypterne til en Vederstyggelighed; se, skulle vi ofre, Ægypterne til en Vederstyggelighed for deres Øjne, og de skulde ikke stene os?

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 Vi skulle gaa tre Dages Rejse i Ørken og ofre til Herren vor Gud, saasom han skal sige os.

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 Da sagde Farao: Jeg vil lade eder fare, at I skulle ofre til Herren eders Gud i Ørken, dog saa, at I ikke skulle drage længere bort; beder for mig.

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 Og Mose sagde: Se, naar jeg kommer ud fra dig, da vil jeg bede til Herren, at alle Haande Utøj skal vige fra Farao og fra hans Tjenere og fra hans Folk i Morgen; kun at Farao ikke bedrager mig mere, saa at han ej lader Folket fare at ofre til Herren.

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 Og Mose gik ud fra Farao og bad til Herren.

And Moses went out from Pharao, and prayed to God.

31 Saa gjorde Herren efter Mose Ord og borttog alle Haande Utøj fra Farao, fra hans Tjenere og fra hans Folk; der blev ikke eet igen.

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 Men Farao forhærdede sit Hjerte end denne Gang og lod ikke Folket fare.

And Pharao hardened his heart, even on this occasion, and he would not send the people away.
