Exodus 8
1 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.
Dixit quoque Dominus ad Moysen: Ingredere ad Pharaonem, et dices ad eum: Haec dicit Dominus: Dimitte populum meum, ut sacrificet mihi:
2 But if you are not willing to release them, behold, I will strike all your coasts with frogs.
si autem nolueris dimittere, ecce ego percutiam omnes terminos tuos ranis.
3 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.
Et ebulliet fluvius ranas: quae ascendent, et ingredientur domum tuam, et cubiculum lectuli tui, et super stratum tuum, et in domos servorum tuorum, et in populum tuum, et in furnos tuos, et in reliquias ciborum tuorum:
4 And to you, and to your people, and to all your servants, the frogs will enter.’”
et ad te, et ad populum tuum, et ad omnes servos tuos intrabunt ranae.
5 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.’”
Dixitque Dominus ad Moysen: Dic ad Aaron: Extende manum tuam super fluvios ac super rivos et paludes, et educ ranas super Terram Aegypti.
6 And Aaron extended his hand over the waters of Egypt, and the frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt.
Et extendit Aaron manum super aquas Aegypti, et ascenderunt ranae, operueruntque Terram Aegypti.
7 Then the sorcerers also, by their incantations, did similarly, and they brought forth frogs upon the land of Egypt.
Fecerunt autem et malefici per incantationes suas similiter, eduxeruntque ranas super Terram Aegypti.
8 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.”
Vocavit autem Pharao Moysen et Aaron, et dixit eis: Orate Dominum ut auferat ranas a me et a populo meo: et dimittam populum ut sacrificet Domino.
9 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.”
Dixitque Moyses ad Pharaonem: Constitue mihi quando deprecer pro te, et pro servis tuis, et pro populo tuo, ut abigantur ranae a te et a domo tua et a servis tuis et a populo tuo: et tantum in flumine remaneant.
10 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.
Qui respondit: Cras. At ille: Iuxta, inquit, verbum tuum faciam: ut scias quoniam non est sicut Dominus Deus noster.
11 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.”
Et recedent ranae a te, et a domo tua, et a servis tuis, et a populo tuo: et tantum in flumine remanebunt.
12 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.
Egressique sunt Moyses et Aaron a Pharaone: et clamavit Moyses ad Dominum pro sponsione ranarum quam condixerat Pharaoni.
13 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.
Fecitque Dominus iuxta verbum Moysi: et mortuae sunt ranae de domibus, et de villis, et de agris.
14 And they gathered them together into immense piles, and the land was polluted.
Congregaveruntque eas in immensos aggeres, et computruit terra.
15 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.
Videns autem Pharao quod data esset requies, ingravavit cor suum, et non audivit eos, sicut praeceperat Dominus.
16 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.’”
Dixitque Dominus ad Moysen: Loquere ad Aaron: Extende virgam tuam, et percute pulverem terrae: et sint ciniphes in universa Terra Aegypti.
17 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.
Feceruntque ita. Et extendit Aaron manum, virgam tenens: percussitque pulverem terrae, et facti sunt sciniphes in hominibus, et in iumentis: omnis pulvis terrae versus est in sciniphes per totam Terram Aegypti.
18 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.
Feceruntque similiter malefici incantationibus suis, ut educerent sciniphes, et non potuerunt: erantque sciniphes tam in hominibus quam in iumentis.
19 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.
Et dixerunt malefici ad Pharaonem: Digitus Dei est hic. induratumque est cor Pharaonis, et non audivit eos sicut praeceperat Dominus.
20 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.
Dixit quoque Dominus ad Moysen: Consurge diluculo, et sta coram Pharaone: egredietur enim ad aquas: et dices ad eum: Haec dicit Dominus: Dimitte populum meum ut sacrificet mihi.
21 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.
Quod si non dimiseris eum, ecce ego immittam in te, et in servos tuos, et in populum tuum, et in domos tuas omne genus muscarum: et implebuntur domus Aegyptiorum muscis diversi generis, et universa terra in qua fuerint.
22 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.
Faciamque mirabilem in die illa Terram Gessen, in qua populus meus est, ut non sint ibi muscae: et scias quoniam ego Dominus in medio terrae.
23 And I will set a division between my people and your people. Tomorrow this sign will be.’”
Ponamque divisionem inter populum meum, et populum tuum: cras erit signum istud.
24 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.
Fecitque Dominus ita. Et venit musca gravissima in domos Pharaonis et servorum eius, et in omnem Terram Aegypti: corruptaque est terra ab huiuscemodi muscis.
25 And Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron, and he said to them, “Go and sacrifice to your God in this land.”
Vocavitque Pharao Moysen et Aaron, et ait eis: Ite et sacrificate Deo vestro in terra hac.
26 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.
Et ait Moyses: Non potest ita fieri: abominationes enim Aegyptiorum immolabimus Domino Deo nostro? quod si mactaverimus ea quae colunt Aegyptii coram eis, lapidibus nos obruent.
27 We will sojourn three days’ journey into the wilderness. And we will sacrifice to the Lord our God, just as he has instructed us.”
Viam trium dierum pergemus in solitudinem: et sacrificabimus Domino Deo nostro, sicut praecepit nobis.
28 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.”
Dixitque Pharao: Ego dimittam vos ut sacrificetis Domino Deo vestro in deserto: verumtamen longius ne abeatis, rogate pro me.
29 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.”
At ait Moyses: Egressus a te, orabo Dominum: et recedet musca a Pharaone, et a servis suis, et a populo eius cras: verumtamen noli ultra fallere, ut non dimittas populum sacrificare Domino.
30 And Moses, departing from Pharaoh, prayed to the Lord.
Egressusque Moyses a Pharaone, oravit Dominum.
31 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.
Qui fecit iuxta verbum illius: et abstulit muscas a Pharaone, et a servis suis, et a populo eius: non superfuit ne una quidem.
32 And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, so that, even at this turn, he would not release the people.
Et ingravatum est cor Pharaonis, ita ut nec hac quidem vice dimitteret populum.
