Exodus 8
1 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;
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。
2 and if you are refusing to send [them] away, behold, I am striking all your border with frogs;
你若不肯容他们去，我必使青蛙糟蹋你的四境。
3 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;
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，
4 indeed, on you, and on your people, and on all your servants the frogs go up.”
又要上你和你百姓并你众臣仆的身上。’”
5 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.”
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。’”
6 And Aaron stretches out his hand against the waters of Egypt, and the frog comes up, and covers the land of Egypt;
亚伦便伸杖在埃及的诸水以上，青蛙就上来，遮满了埃及地。
7 and the enchanters do so with their secrets, and cause the frogs to come up against the land of Egypt.
行法术的也用他们的邪术照样而行，叫青蛙上了埃及地。
8 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.”
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。”
9 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?”
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？”
10 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,
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。
11 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.”
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。”
12 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;
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。
13 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,
耶和华就照摩西的话行。凡在房里、院中、田间的青蛙都死了。
14 and they heap them up together, and the land stinks.
众人把青蛙聚拢成堆，遍地就都腥臭。
15 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.
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。
16 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.”
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。’”
17 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.
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。
18 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;
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。
19 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.
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。
20 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;
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。
21 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.
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。
22 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,
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。
23 and I have put a division between My people and your people; this sign is tomorrow.”
我要将我的百姓和你的百姓分别出来。明天必有这神迹。’”
24 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.
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。
25 And Pharaoh calls to Moses and to Aaron and says, “Go, sacrifice to your God in the land”;
法老召了摩西、亚伦来，说：“你们去，在这地祭祀你们的 神吧！”
26 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!
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？
27 We go a journey of three days into the wilderness and have sacrificed to our God YHWH as He says to us.”
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。”
28 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”;
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。”
29 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.”
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。”
30 And Moses goes out from Pharaoh, and makes supplication to YHWH,
于是摩西离开法老去求耶和华。
31 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;
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。
32 and Pharaoh also hardens his heart at this time, and has not sent the people away.
这一次法老又硬着心，不容百姓去。
