2 Mosebog 8

1 Derpå sagde HERREN til Moses: "Gå til Farao og sig til ham: Så siger HERREN: Lad mit Folk rejse, for at de kan dyrke mig!

And YHWH says to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh, and you have said to him, Thus said YHWH: Send My people away, and they serve Me;

2 Men hvis du vægrer dig ved at lade dem rejse, se, da vil jeg plage hele dit Land med Frøer;

and if you are refusing to send [them] away, behold, I am striking all your border with frogs;

3 Nilen skal vrimle af Frøer, og de skal kravle op og trænge ind i dit Hus og dit Sovekammer og på dit Leje og i dine Tjeneres og dit Folks Huse, i dine Bagerovne og dine Dejgtruge;

and the River has teemed [with] frogs, and they have gone up and gone into your house, and into the inner-chamber of your bed, and on your couch, and into the house of your servants, and among your people, and into your ovens, and into your kneading-troughs;

4 ja på dig selv og dit Folk og alle dine Tjenere skal Frøerne kravle op."

indeed, on you, and on your people, and on all your servants the frogs go up.”

5 Da sagde HERREN til Moses: "Sig til Aron: Ræk din Hånd med Staven ud over Floderne, Kanalerne og Dammene og få Frøerne til at kravle op over Ægypten!"

And YHWH says to Moses, “Say to Aaron, Stretch out your hand, with your rod, against the streams, against the rivers, and against the ponds, and cause the frogs to come up against the land of Egypt.”

6 Og Aron rakte sin Hånd ud over Ægyptens Vande. Da kravlede Frøerne op og fyldte Ægypten.

And Aaron stretches out his hand against the waters of Egypt, and the frog comes up, and covers the land of Egypt;

7 Men Koglerne gjorde det samme ved Hjælp af deres hemmelige Kunster og fik Frøerne til at kravle op over Ægypten.

and the enchanters do so with their secrets, and cause the frogs to come up against the land of Egypt.

8 Da lod Farao Moses og Aron kalde og sagde: "Gå i Forbøn hos HERREN, at han skiller mig og mit Folk af med Frøerne, så vil jeg lade Folket rejse, at de kan ofre til HERREN."

And Pharaoh calls for Moses and for Aaron and says, “Make supplication to YHWH, that he may turn aside the frogs from me, and from my people, and I send the people away, and they sacrifice to YHWH.”

9 Moses svarede Farao: "Du behøver kun at befale over mig! Til hvilken Tid skal jeg gå i Forbøn for dig, dine Tjenere og dit Folk om at få Frøerne bort fra dig og dine Huse, så de kun bliver tilbage i Nilen?"

And Moses says to Pharaoh, “Beautify yourself over me; when do I make supplication for you, and for your servants, and for your people, to cut off the frogs from you and from your houses—only in the River they remain?”

10 Han svarede: "I Morgen!" Da sagde han: "Det skal ske, som du siger, for at du kan kende, at der ingen er som HERREN vor Gud;

And he says, “Tomorrow.” And he says, “According to your word [it is], so that you know that there is none like our God YHWH,

11 Frøerne skal vige bort fra dig, dine Huse, dine Tjenere og dit Folk; kun i Nilen skal de blive tilbage."

and the frogs have turned aside from you, and from your houses, and from your servants, and from your people; only in the River they remain.”

12 Moses og Aron gik nu bort fra Farao, og Moses råbte til HERREN om at bortrydde Frøerne, som han havde sendt over Farao;

And Moses—Aaron also—goes out from Pharaoh, and Moses cries to YHWH concerning the matter of the frogs which He has set on Pharaoh;

13 og HERREN gjorde, som Moses bad: Frøerne døde i Husene, i Gårdene og på Markerne,

and YHWH does according to the word of Moses, and the frogs die out of the houses, out of the courts, and out of the fields,

14 og man samlede dem sammen i Dynger, så Landet kom til at stinke deraf.

and they heap them up together, and the land stinks.

15 Men da Farao så, at han havde fået Luft, forhærdede han sit Hjerte og hørte ikke på dem, således som HERREN havde sagt.

And Pharaoh sees that there has been a respite, and he has hardened his heart, and has not listened to them, as YHWH has spoken.

16 Derpå sagde HERREN til Moses: "Sig til Aron: Ræk din Stav ud og slå Støvet på Jorden med den, så skal det blive til Myg i hele Ægypten!"

And YHWH says to Moses, “Say to Aaron, Stretch out your rod, and strike the dust of the land, and it has become gnats in all the land of Egypt.”

17 Og de gjorde således; Aron udrakte sin Hånd med Staven og slog Støvet på Jorden dermed. Da kom der Myg over Mennesker og Dyr; alt Støvet på Jorden blev til Myg i hele Ægypten.

And they do so, and Aaron stretches out his hand with his rod, and strikes the dust of the land, and the gnats are on man and on beast; all the dust of the land has been gnats in all the land of Egypt.

18 Koglerne søgte nu også ved Hjælp af deres hemmelige Kunster at fremkalde Myg, men de magtede det ikke. Og Myggene kom over Mennesker og Dyr.

And the enchanters do so with their secrets, to bring out the gnats, and they have not been able, and the gnats are on man and on beast;

19 Da sagde Koglerne til Farao: "Det er Guds Finger!" Men Faraos Hjerte blev forhærdet, så han ikke hørte på dem, således som HERREN havde sagt.

and the enchanters say to Pharaoh, “It [is] the finger of God”; and the heart of Pharaoh is strong, and he has not listened to them, as YHWH has spoken.

20 Derpå sagde HERREN til Moses: "Træd i Morgen tidlig frem for Farao, når han begiver sig ned til Vandet, og sig til ham: Så siger HERREN: Lad mit Folk rejse, for at de kan dyrke mig!

And YHWH says to Moses, “Rise early in the morning, and station yourself before Pharaoh, behold, he is going out to the waters, and you have said to him, Thus said YHWH: Send My people away, and they serve Me;

21 Men hvis du ikke lader mit Folk rejse, se, da sender jeg Bremser over dig, dine Tjenere, dit Folk og dine Huse, og Ægypternes Huse skal blive fulde af Bremser, ja endog Jorden, de bor på;

for if you are not sending My people away, behold, I am sending against you, and against your servants, and against your people, and against your houses, the beetle, and the houses of the Egyptians have been full of the beetle, and also the ground on which they are.

22 men med Gosens Land, hvor mit Folk bor, vil jeg til den Tid gøre en Undtagelse, så der ingen Bremser kommer, for at du kan kende, at jeg HERREN er i Landet;

And I have separated in that day the land of Goshen, in which My people are staying, that the beetle is not there, so that you know that I [am] YHWH in the midst of the land,

23 og jeg vil sætte Skel mellem mit Folk og dit Folk; i Morgen skal dette Tegn ske!"

and I have put a division between My people and your people; this sign is tomorrow.”

24 Og HERREN gjorde således: Vældige Bremsesværme trængte ind i Faraos og hans Tjeneres Huse og i hele Ægypten, og Landet hærgedes af Bremserne.

And YHWH does so, and the grievous beetle enters the house of Pharaoh, and the house of his servants, and in all the land of Egypt the land is corrupted from the presence of the beetle.

25 Da lod Farao Moses og Aron kalde og sagde: "Gå hen og bring eders Gud et Offer her i Landet!"

And Pharaoh calls to Moses and to Aaron and says, “Go, sacrifice to your God in the land”;

26 Men Moses sagde: "Det går ikke an at gøre således, thi til HERREN vor Gud ofrer vi, hvad der er Ægypterne en Vederstyggelighed; og når vi for Øjnene af Ægypterne ofrer, hvad der er dem en Vederstyggelighed, mon de da ikke stener os?

and Moses says, “[It is] not right to do so—for us to sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to our God YHWH; behold, we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes—and they do not stone us!

27 Lad os drage tre Dagsrejser ud i Ørkenen og ofre til HERREN vor Gud, således som han har pålagt os!"

We go a journey of three days into the wilderness and have sacrificed to our God YHWH as He says to us.”

28 Farao sagde: "Jeg vil lade eder rejse hen og ofre til HERREN eders Gud i Ørkenen; kun må I ikke rejse for langt bort; men gå i Forbøn for mig!"

And Pharaoh says, “I send you away, and you have sacrificed to your God YHWH in the wilderness, only do not go very far off; make supplication for me”;

29 Moses svarede: "Se, så snart jeg kommer ud herfra, skal jeg gå i Forbøn hos HERREN, og Bremserne skal vige bort fra Farao, hans Tjenere og hans Folk i Morgen. Blot Farao så ikke igen narrer os og nægter at lade Folket rejse hen og ofre til HERREN!"

and Moses says, “Behold, I am going out from you, and have made supplication to YHWH, and tomorrow the beetle has turned aside from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people; only, do not let Pharaoh add to deceive in not sending the people away to sacrifice to YHWH.”

30 Derpå gik Moses bort fra Farao og gik i Forbøn hos HERREN.

And Moses goes out from Pharaoh, and makes supplication to YHWH,

31 Og HERREN gjorde, som Moses bad, og Bremserne veg bort fra Farao, hans Tjenere og hans Folk; der blev ikke en eneste tilbage.

and YHWH does according to the word of Moses, and turns aside the beetle from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people—there has not been one left;

32 Men Farao forhærdede også denne Gang sit Hjerte og lod ikke Folket rejse.

and Pharaoh also hardens his heart at this time, and has not sent the people away.
