Exodus 8
1 Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, —then shalt thou say unto him—Thus, saith Yahweh, —Let my people go, that they may 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 But if thou art, refusing, to let them go, lo! I, am plaguing all thy boundaries with frogs;
你若不肯容他们去，我必使青蛙糟蹋你的四境。
3 so shall the river swarm with frogs, and they shall come up, and enter into thy house, and into thy bedchamber and upon thy couch, —and into the house of thy servants and among thy people, and into thine ovens and into thy 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 both against thee, and against thy people, and against all thy servants, shall come up the frogs.
又要上你和你百姓并你众臣仆的身上。’”
5 Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Say unto Aaron—Stretch forth thy hand with thy staff, over the streams over the rivers and over the pools, —and bring up the frogs, over 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 So Aaron stretched forth his hand, over the waters of Egypt, —and the frog came up, and covered 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 sacred scribes did in like manner, with their secret arts, —and brought up frogs over 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 Then called Pharaoh for Moses and for Aaron and said—Make entreaty unto Yahweh, that he take away the frogs from me and from my people, —and I must let the people go that they may sacrifice to Yahweh.
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 said to Pharaoh—Explain thyself unto me: For what time, shall I make entreaty for thee and for thy servants and for thy people, to cause the frogs to be cut off, from thee and from thy houses, —only in the river, shall 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 said—For to-morrow. And he said—According to thy word! that thou mayest know that there is none like Yahweh, our God:
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 so the frogs shall depart—from thee and from thy houses and from thy servants and from thy people, —only in the river, shall 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 Then went forth Moses and Aaron from Pharaoh, —and Moses made outcry unto Yahweh, over the matter of the frogs which he had appointed for 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 Yahweh did according to the word of Moses, —and the frogs died, out of the houses and out of the yards, 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 piled them up, heaps—heaps, —and the land became loathsome.
众人把青蛙聚拢成堆，遍地就都腥臭。
15 But when Pharaoh saw that there had come a respite, then made he his heart dull and hearkened not unto them, —as spake Yahweh.
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 Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Say unto Aaron—Stretch forth thy staff, and smite the dust of the land, —so shall it 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 did so, and Aaron stretched forth his hand with his staff and smote the dust of the land, and there canto to be gnats, among men and among beasts, —all the dust of the land, became 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 sacred scribes did in like manner with their secret arts, to bring forth the gnats, but they could not. So there came to be gnats, among men and among beasts.
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 Then said the sacred scribes unto Pharaoh, The finger of God, it is! But the heart of Pharaoh waxed bold and he hearkened not unto them, as spake Yahweh.
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 Then said Yahweh unto Moses—Rise thou early in the morning, and station thyself before Pharaoh, lo! he is coming forth to the waters, —then shalt thou say unto him—Thus, saith Yahweh: Let my people go, that they may 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 But if thou art not letting my people go, behold me! sending forth—against thee, and against thy servants, and against thy people, and against thy houses the gad-fly, —and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of the gad-fly, moreover also the ground whereon, 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 then will I make to differ on that day, the land of Goshen wherein my people do dwell, so that there shall not be there a gad-fly! in order that thou mayest know, that I, Yahweh, am 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 so will I put a separation betwixt my people and thy people. By to-morrow, shall come to pass this sign.
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 Yahweh did so, and brought a grievous gad-fly unto the house of Pharaoh and the houses of his servants and in all the land of Egypt, and the land was laid waste by reason of the gad-fly.
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 Then did Pharaoh cry out—unto Moses and to Aaron, —and said-Go your way, 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 said: Not meet, is it, to do thus, for, an abomination to the Egyptians, we should sacrifice to Yahweh our God. Lo! could we sacrifice that which is an abomination to the Egyptians before their eyes and they 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 A journey of three days, must we go, in the desert, —then will we sacrifice to Yahweh our God, as, Yahweh, hath said unto 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 Then said Pharaoh: I, will let you go—so shall ye sacrifice to Yahweh your God in the desert, only ye shall not go a, very long, journey, —make ye entreaty 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 said: Lo! I, am going out from thee and will make entreaty unto Yahweh, so will he take away the gad-fly—from Pharaoh from his servants, and from his people tomorrow, —only let not Pharaoh again deceive, in not letting the people go, to sacrifice to Yahweh.
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 So Moses went out from Pharaoh, —and made entreaty unto Yahweh.
于是摩西离开法老去求耶和华。
31 And Yahweh did according to the word of Moses, and took away the gad-fly, from Pharaoh from his servants and from his people, —there remained not, one.
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 made his heart dull, this time also, —and did not let the people go.
这一次法老又硬着心，不容百姓去。
