< Exodus 8 >

1 Dixit quoque Dominus ad Moysen: Ingredere ad Pharaonem, et dices ad eum: Haec dicit Dominus: Dimitte populum meum, ut sacrificet mihi:
Afterward the Lord sayde vnto Moses, Goe vnto Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus saith the Lord, Let my people goe, that they may serue me:
2 si autem nolueris dimittere, ecce ego percutiam omnes terminos tuos ranis.
And if thou wilt not let them goe, beholde, I will smite all thy countrey with frogges:
3 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:
And the riuer shall scral ful of frogges, which shall goe vp and come into thine house, and into thy chamber, where thou sleepest, and vpon thy bed, and into the house of thy seruants, and vpon thy people, and into thine ouens, and into thy kneading troughes.
4 et ad te, et ad populum tuum, et ad omnes servos tuos intrabunt ranae.
Yea, the frogges shall climbe vp vpon thee, and on thy people, and vpon all thy seruants.
5 Dixitque Dominus ad Moysen: Dic ad Aaron: Extende manum tuam super fluvios ac super rivos et paludes, et educ ranas super Terram Aegypti.
Also the Lord said vnto Moses, Say thou vnto Aaron, Stretch out thine hande with thy rod vpon the streames, vpon the riuers, and vpon the ponds, and cause frogs to come vp vpon the land of Egypt.
6 Et extendit Aaron manum super aquas Aegypti, et ascenderunt ranae, operueruntque Terram Aegypti.
Then Aaron stretched out his hand vpon the waters of Egypt, and the frogges came vp, and couered the land of Egypt.
7 Fecerunt autem et malefici per incantationes suas similiter, eduxeruntque ranas super Terram Aegypti.
And the sorcerers did likewise with their sorceries, and brought frogges vp vpon the land of Egypt.
8 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.
Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, Pray ye vnto the Lord, that hee may take away the frogges from mee, and from my people, and I will let the people goe, that they may doe sacrifice vnto the Lord.
9 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.
And Moses said vnto Pharaoh, Concerning me, euen command when I shall pray for thee, and for thy seruants, and for thy people, to destroy the frogges from thee and from thine houses, that they may remaine in the riuer only.
10 Qui respondit: Cras. At ille: Iuxta, inquit, verbum tuum faciam: ut scias quoniam non est sicut Dominus Deus noster.
Then he said, To morowe. And he answered, Be it as thou hast said, that thou maiest know, that there is none like vnto the Lord our God.
11 Et recedent ranae a te, et a domo tua, et a servis tuis, et a populo tuo: et tantum in flumine remanebunt.
So the frogges shall depart from thee, and from thine houses, and from thy seruantes, and from thy people: onely they shall remaine in the riuer.
12 Egressique sunt Moyses et Aaron a Pharaone: et clamavit Moyses ad Dominum pro sponsione ranarum quam condixerat Pharaoni.
Then Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh: and Moses cryed vnto the Lord concerning the frogges, which hee had sent vnto Pharaoh.
13 Fecitque Dominus iuxta verbum Moysi: et mortuae sunt ranae de domibus, et de villis, et de agris.
And the Lord did according to the saying of Moses: so the frogges died in the houses, in the townes, and in the fieldes.
14 Congregaveruntque eas in immensos aggeres, et computruit terra.
And they gathered the together by heaps, and the land stanke of them.
15 Videns autem Pharao quod data esset requies, ingravavit cor suum, et non audivit eos, sicut praeceperat Dominus.
But when Pharaoh sawe that hee had rest giuen him, he hardened his heart, and hearkened not vnto them, as the Lord had said.
16 Dixitque Dominus ad Moysen: Loquere ad Aaron: Extende virgam tuam, et percute pulverem terrae: et sint ciniphes in universa Terra Aegypti.
Againe the Lord sayd vnto Moses, Say vnto Aaron, Stretche out the rod, and smite the dust of the earth, that it may bee turned to lyce throughout all the land of Egypt.
17 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.
And they did so: for Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and smote the dust of the earth: and lyce came vpon man and vpon beast: all the dust of the earth was lyce throughout all the land of Egypt.
18 Feceruntque similiter malefici incantationibus suis, ut educerent sciniphes, et non potuerunt: erantque sciniphes tam in hominibus quam in iumentis.
Nowe the enchanters assaied likewise with their enchantments to bring forth lyce, but they could not. So the lyce were vpon man and vpon beast.
19 Et dixerunt malefici ad Pharaonem: Digitus Dei est hic. induratumque est cor Pharaonis, et non audivit eos sicut praeceperat Dominus.
Then saide the enchanters vnto Pharaoh, This is the finger of God. But Pharaohs heart remained obstinate, and hee hearkened not vnto them, as the Lord had said.
20 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.
Moreouer the Lord sayd to Moses, Rise vp earely in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh (lo, hee will come forth vnto the water) and say vnto him, Thus saith the Lord, Let my people go, that they may serue me.
21 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.
Els, if thou wilt not let my people goe, behold, I will send swarmes of flies both vpon thee, and vpon thy seruants, and vpon thy people, and into thine houses: and the houses of the Egyptians shalbe full of swarmes of flies, and the ground also whereon they are.
22 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.
But ye land of Goshe, where my people are, wil I cause to be wonderfull in that day, so that no swarmes of flies shalbe there, that thou maiest know that I am the Lord in the middes of the earth.
23 Ponamque divisionem inter populum meum, et populum tuum: cras erit signum istud.
And I will make a deliuerance of my people from thy people: to morowe shall this miracle be.
24 Fecitque Dominus ita. Et venit musca gravissima in domos Pharaonis et servorum eius, et in omnem Terram Aegypti: corruptaque est terra ab huiuscemodi muscis.
And the Lord did so: for there came great swarmes of flies into the house of Pharaoh, and into his seruants houses, so that through all the lande of Egypt, the earth was corrupt by the swarmes of flies.
25 Vocavitque Pharao Moysen et Aaron, et ait eis: Ite et sacrificate Deo vestro in terra hac.
Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and saide, Goe, doe sacrifice vnto your God in this lande.
26 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.
But Moses answered, It is not meete to do so: for then we shoulde offer vnto the Lord our God that, which is an abomination vnto the Egyptians. Loe, can we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, and they not stone vs?
27 Viam trium dierum pergemus in solitudinem: et sacrificabimus Domino Deo nostro, sicut praecepit nobis.
Let vs go three dayes iourney in the desert, and sacrifice vnto the Lord our God, as he hath commanded vs.
28 Dixitque Pharao: Ego dimittam vos ut sacrificetis Domino Deo vestro in deserto: verumtamen longius ne abeatis, rogate pro me.
And Pharaoh said, I will let you go, that ye may sacrifice vnto the Lord your God in the wildernesse: but goe not farre away, pray for me.
29 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.
And Moses said, Behold, I will go out from thee, and pray vnto the Lord, that the swarmes of flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his seruants, and from his people to morowe: but let Pharaoh from hencefoorth deceiue no more, in not suffering the people to sacrifice vnto the Lord.
30 Egressusque Moyses a Pharaone, oravit Dominum.
So Moses went out from Pharaoh and prayed vnto the Lord.
31 Qui fecit iuxta verbum illius: et abstulit muscas a Pharaone, et a servis suis, et a populo eius: non superfuit ne una quidem.
And the Lord did according to the saying of Moses, and the swarmes of flies departed from Pharaoh, from his seruants, and from his people, and there remained not one.
32 Et ingravatum est cor Pharaonis, ita ut nec hac quidem vice dimitteret populum.
Yet Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also, and did not let the people goe.
