Exodus 8
1 Dixit quoque Dominus ad Moysen: Ingredere ad Pharaonem, et dices ad eum: Haec dicit Dominus: Dimitte populum meum, ut sacrificet mihi:
And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Go in unto Pharaoh: and thou hast said unto him, Thus said Jehovah, Send My people away, and they serve Me;
2 si autem nolueris dimittere, ecce ego percutiam omnes terminos tuos ranis.
and if thou art refusing to send away, lo, I am smiting all thy border with frogs;
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 River hath teemed [with] frogs, and they have gone up and gone into thy house, and into the inner-chamber of thy bed, and on thy couch, and into the house of thy servants, and among thy people, and into thine ovens, and into thy kneading-troughs;
4 et ad te, et ad populum tuum, et ad omnes servos tuos intrabunt ranae.
yea, on thee, and on thy people, and on all thy servants do the frogs go up.'
5 Dixitque Dominus ad Moysen: Dic ad Aaron: Extende manum tuam super fluvios ac super rivos et paludes, et educ ranas super Terram Aegypti.
And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy hand, with thy rod, against the streams, against the rivers, and against the ponds, and cause the frogs to come up against the land of Egypt.'
6 Et extendit Aaron manum super aquas Aegypti, et ascenderunt ranae, operueruntque Terram Aegypti.
And Aaron stretcheth out his hand against the waters of Egypt, and the frog cometh up, and covereth the land of Egypt;
7 Fecerunt autem et malefici per incantationes suas similiter, eduxeruntque ranas super Terram Aegypti.
and the scribes do so with their flashings, and cause the frogs to come up against 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.
And Pharaoh calleth for Moses and for Aaron, and saith, 'Make supplication unto Jehovah, that he turn aside the frogs from me, and from my people, and I send the people away, and they sacrifice to Jehovah.'
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 saith to Pharaoh, 'Beautify thyself over me; when do I make supplication for thee, and for thy servants, and for thy people, to cut off the frogs from thee and from thy houses — only in the River they do remain?'
10 Qui respondit: Cras. At ille: Iuxta, inquit, verbum tuum faciam: ut scias quoniam non est sicut Dominus Deus noster.
and he saith, 'To-morrow.' And he saith, According to thy word [it is], so that thou knowest that there is none like Jehovah 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.
and the frogs have turned aside from thee, and from thy houses, and from thy servants, and from thy people; only in the River they do remain.'
12 Egressique sunt Moyses et Aaron a Pharaone: et clamavit Moyses ad Dominum pro sponsione ranarum quam condixerat Pharaoni.
And Moses — Aaron also — goeth out from Pharaoh, and Moses crieth unto Jehovah, concerning the matter of the frogs which He hath set on Pharaoh;
13 Fecitque Dominus iuxta verbum Moysi: et mortuae sunt ranae de domibus, et de villis, et de agris.
and Jehovah doth according to the word of Moses, and the frogs die out of the houses, out of the courts, and out of the fields,
14 Congregaveruntque eas in immensos aggeres, et computruit terra.
and they heap them up together, and the land stinketh.
15 Videns autem Pharao quod data esset requies, ingravavit cor suum, et non audivit eos, sicut praeceperat Dominus.
And Pharaoh seeth that there hath been a respite, and he hath hardened his heart, and hath not hearkened unto them, as Jehovah hath spoken.
16 Dixitque Dominus ad Moysen: Loquere ad Aaron: Extende virgam tuam, et percute pulverem terrae: et sint ciniphes in universa Terra Aegypti.
And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy rod, and smite the dust of the land, and it hath become gnats in 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 do so, and Aaron stretcheth out his hand with his rod, and smiteth the dust of the land, and the gnats are on man and on beast; all the dust of the land hath been gnats in 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.
And the scribes do so with their flashings, to bring out the gnats, and they have not been able, and the gnats are on man and on beast;
19 Et dixerunt malefici ad Pharaonem: Digitus Dei est hic. induratumque est cor Pharaonis, et non audivit eos sicut praeceperat Dominus.
and the scribes say unto Pharaoh, 'It [is] the finger of God;' and the heart of Pharaoh is strong, and he hath not hearkened unto them, as Jehovah hath spoken.
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.
And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Rise early in the morning, and station thyself before Pharaoh, lo, he is going out to the waters, and thou hast said unto him, Thus said Jehovah, Send My people away, and they serve 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.
for, if thou art not sending My people away, lo, I am sending against thee, and against thy servants, and against thy people, and against thy houses, the beetle, and the houses of the Egyptians have been full of the beetle, and also the ground on which 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.
'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 thou knowest that I [am] Jehovah in the midst of the land,
23 Ponamque divisionem inter populum meum, et populum tuum: cras erit signum istud.
and I have put a division between My people and thy people: to-morrow is this sign.'
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 Jehovah doth so, and the grievous beetle entereth 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.
25 Vocavitque Pharao Moysen et Aaron, et ait eis: Ite et sacrificate Deo vestro in terra hac.
And Pharaoh calleth unto Moses and to Aaron, and saith, 'Go, sacrifice to your God in the land;'
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.
and Moses saith, 'Not right to do so, for the abomination of the Egyptians we do sacrifice to Jehovah our God; lo, we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes — and they do not stone us!
27 Viam trium dierum pergemus in solitudinem: et sacrificabimus Domino Deo nostro, sicut praecepit nobis.
A journey of three days we go into the wilderness, and have sacrificed to Jehovah our God, as He saith unto us.'
28 Dixitque Pharao: Ego dimittam vos ut sacrificetis Domino Deo vestro in deserto: verumtamen longius ne abeatis, rogate pro me.
And Pharaoh saith, 'I send you away, and ye have sacrificed to Jehovah your God in the wilderness, only go not very far off; make ye supplication 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 saith, 'Lo, I am going out from thee, and have made supplication unto Jehovah, and the beetle hath turned aside from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people — to-morrow, only let not Pharaoh add to deceive — in not sending the people away to sacrifice to Jehovah.'
30 Egressusque Moyses a Pharaone, oravit Dominum.
And Moses goeth out from Pharaoh, and maketh supplication unto Jehovah,
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 Jehovah doth according to the word of Moses, and turneth aside the beetle from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people — there hath not been left one;
32 Et ingravatum est cor Pharaonis, ita ut nec hac quidem vice dimitteret populum.
and Pharaoh hardeneth his heart also at this time, and hath not sent the people away.
