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。
2 and if you are refusing to send [them] away, behold, I am striking all your border with frogs;
你若不肯容他們去，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，
4 indeed, on you, and on your people, and on all your servants the frogs go up.”
又要上你和你百姓並你眾臣僕的身上。』」
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。』」
6 And Aaron stretches out his hand against the waters of Egypt, and the frog comes up, and covers the land of Egypt;
亞倫便伸杖在埃及的諸水以上，青蛙就上來，遮滿了埃及地。
7 and the enchanters do so with their secrets, and cause the frogs to come up against the land of Egypt.
行法術的也用他們的邪術照樣而行，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、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。」
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？」
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。
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.”
青蛙要離開你和你的宮殿，並你的臣僕與你的百姓，只留在河裏。」
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;
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。
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,
耶和華就照摩西的話行。凡在房裏、院中、田間的青蛙都死了。
14 and they heap them up together, and the land stinks.
眾人把青蛙聚攏成堆，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.
但法老見災禍鬆緩，就硬着心，不肯聽他們，正如耶和華所說的。
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。』」
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。
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。
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。
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。
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。
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,
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。
23 and I have put a division between My people and your people; this sign is tomorrow.”
我要將我的百姓和你的百姓分別出來。明天必有這神蹟。』」
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。
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、亞倫來，說：「你們去，在這地祭祀你們的上帝吧！」
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？
27 We go a journey of three days into the wilderness and have sacrificed to our God YHWH as He says to us.”
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。」
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。」
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。」
30 And Moses goes out from Pharaoh, and makes supplication to YHWH,
於是摩西離開法老去求耶和華。
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。
32 and Pharaoh also hardens his heart at this time, and has not sent the people away.
這一次法老又硬着心，不容百姓去。
