< Исход 8 >

1 И рече Господь к Моисею: вниди к фараону и речеши к нему: сия глаголет Господь: отпусти люди Моя, да Ми послужат:
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh and tell him that this is what the LORD says: ‘Let My people go, so that they may worship Me.
2 аще же не хощеши ты отпустити, се, Аз побиваю вся пределы твоя жабами:
But if you refuse to let them go, I will plague your whole country with frogs.
3 и изрыгнет река жабы, и излезшя внидут в домы твоя и в клети ложниц твоих, и на постели твоя и в домы рабов твоих и людий твоих, и в теста твоя и в пещы твоя,
The Nile will teem with frogs, and they will come into your palace and up to your bedroom and onto your bed, into the houses of your officials and your people, and into your ovens and kneading bowls.
4 и на тя и на рабы твоя и на люди твоя возлезут жабы.
The frogs will come up on you and your people and all your officials.’”
5 Рече же Господь к Моисею: рцы Аарону брату твоему: простри рукою твоею жезл твой на реки и на кладязи и на езера, и изведи жабы на землю Египетскую.
And the LORD said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Stretch out your hand with your staff over the rivers and canals and ponds, and cause the frogs to come up onto the land of Egypt.’”
6 И простре Аарон руку на воды Египетския и изведе жабы: и излезоша жабы и покрыша землю Египетскую.
So Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt, and the frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt.
7 Сотвориша же и волсви Египетстии волхвованиями своими такожде и изведоша жабы на землю Египетскую.
But the magicians did the same thing by their magic arts, and they also brought frogs up onto the land of Egypt.
8 Призва же фараон Моисеа и Аарона и рече: помолитеся о мне ко Господу, да отженет от мене жабы и от людий моих: и отпущу люди, и пожрут Господви.
Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “Pray to the LORD to take the frogs away from me and my people. Then I will let your people go, that they may sacrifice to the LORD.”
9 Рече же Моисей к фараону: определи мне, когда помолюся о тебе и о рабех твоих и о людех твоих, да погибнут жабы от тебе и от людий твоих и от домов ваших, точию в реце да останутся.
Moses said to Pharaoh, “You may have the honor over me. When shall I pray for you and your officials and your people that the frogs (except for those in the Nile) may be taken away from you and your houses?”
10 Он же рече: заутра. Рече убо: якоже рекл еси, да увеси, яко несть иного разве Господа:
“Tomorrow,” Pharaoh answered. “May it be as you say,” Moses replied, “so that you may know that there is no one like the LORD our God.
11 и отженутся жабы от тебе и от домов ваших и от сел, и от рабов твоих и от людий твоих, точию в реце останутся.
The frogs will depart from you and your houses and your officials and your people; they will remain only in the Nile.”
12 Изыде же Моисей и Аарон от фараона, и возопи Моисей ко Господу о определении жаб, якоже совеща с фараоном.
After Moses and Aaron had left Pharaoh, Moses cried out to the LORD for help with the frogs that He had brought against Pharaoh.
13 Сотвори же Господь, якоже рече Моисей: и изомроша жабы от домов и от сел и от нив их:
And the LORD did as Moses requested, and the frogs in the houses, the courtyards, and the fields died.
14 и собраша я в стоги стоги, и возсмердеся земля.
They were piled into countless heaps, and there was a terrible stench in the land.
15 Видев же фараон, яко бысть отрада, отяготися сердце его, и не послуша их, якоже рече Господь.
When Pharaoh saw that there was relief, however, he hardened his heart and would not listen to Moses and Aaron, just as the LORD had said.
16 И рече Господь к Моисею: рцы Аарону: простри рукою жезл твой и удари в персть земную, и будут скнипы в человецех и в скотех, и на фараоне и на доме его и рабех его, и весь песок земный станет скнипами во всей земли Египетстей.
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Stretch out your staff and strike the dust of the earth, that it may turn into swarms of gnats throughout the land of Egypt.’”
17 Простре убо Аарон рукою жезл и удари в персть земную: и быша скнипы в человецех и в скотех, и во всякой персти земной быша скнипы во всей земли Египетстей.
This they did, and when Aaron stretched out his hand with his staff and struck the dust of the earth, gnats came upon man and beast. All the dust of the earth turned into gnats throughout the land of Egypt.
18 Твориша же и волсви волхвованми своими такожде извести скнипы, и не возмогоша: и быша скнипы в человецех и скотех.
The magicians tried to produce gnats using their magic arts, but they could not. And the gnats remained on man and beast.
19 Реша убо волсви фараону: перст Божий есть сие. И ожесточися сердце фараоново, и не послуша их, якоже рече Господь.
“This is the finger of God,” the magicians said to Pharaoh. But Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he would not listen to them, just as the LORD had said.
20 Рече же Господь к Моисею: востани заутра и стани пред фараоном, и се, он изыдет на воду, и речеши ему: сия глаголет Господь: отпусти люди Моя, да Ми послужат в пустыни:
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Get up early in the morning, and when Pharaoh goes out to the water, stand before him and tell him that this is what the LORD says: ‘Let My people go, so that they may worship Me.
21 аще же не хощеши отпустити людий Моих, се, Аз посылаю на тя и на рабы твоя, и на люди твоя и на домы вашя песия мухи: и наполнятся домове Египетстии песиих мух и в земли, на нейже суть:
But if you will not let My people go, I will send swarms of flies upon you and your officials and your people and your houses. The houses of the Egyptians and even the ground where they stand will be full of flies.
22 и прославлю в той день землю Гесемску, на нейже людие Мои сташа, на нейже не будет тамо песиих мух, да увеси, яко Аз есмь Господь, Бог всея земли:
But on that day I will give special treatment to the land of Goshen, where My people live; no swarms of flies will be found there. In this way you will know that I, the LORD, am in the land.
23 и положу разлучение между людьми Моими и людьми твоими: во утрии же будет знамение сие на земли.
I will make a distinction between My people and your people. This sign will take place tomorrow.’”
24 Сотвори же Господь тако: и прииде песиих мух множество в домы фараоновы и в домы рабов его и во всю землю Египетску, и погибе земля от песиих мух.
And the LORD did so. Thick swarms of flies poured into Pharaoh’s palace and into the houses of his officials. Throughout Egypt the land was ruined by swarms of flies.
25 Воззва же фараон Моисеа и Аарона, глаголя: шедше пожрите жертву Господу Богу вашему в земли сей.
Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “Go, sacrifice to your God within this land.”
26 И рече Моисей: не может се тако быти, хулно бо се Египтяном: не положим требу Господу Богу нашему: аще бо положим требу по хулению Египетску пред ними, камением побиют ны:
But Moses replied, “It would not be right to do that, because the sacrifices we offer to the LORD our God would be detestable to the Egyptians. If we offer sacrifices that are detestable before the Egyptians, will they not stone us?
27 путем триех дний пойдем в пустыню и пожрем Господу Богу нашему, якоже рече Господь нам.
We must make a three-day journey into the wilderness and sacrifice to the LORD our God as He commands us.”
28 И рече фараон: аз отпущаю вы, и пожрите Господу Богу вашему в пустыни: но не далече простирайтеся ити: помолитеся убо и о мне ко Господу.
Pharaoh answered, “I will let you go and sacrifice to the LORD your God in the wilderness, but you must not go very far. Now pray for me.”
29 Рече же Моисей: се, аз изыду от тебе и помолюся ко Господу Богу, и отидут песия мухи от тебе и от рабов твоих и от людий твоих заутра: да не приложиши еще, фараоне, прельстити, еже не отпустити людий пожрети Господу.
“As soon as I leave you,” Moses said, “I will pray to the LORD, so that tomorrow the swarms of flies will depart from Pharaoh and his officials and his people. But Pharaoh must not act deceitfully again by refusing to let the people go and sacrifice to the LORD.”
30 Изыде же Моисей от фараона и помолися Богу.
Then Moses left Pharaoh and prayed to the LORD,
31 Сотвори же Господь, якоже рече Моисей, и отя песия мухи от фараона и от рабов его и от людий его, и не остася ни едина.
and the LORD did as Moses requested. He removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh and his officials and his people; not one fly remained.
32 И отяготи фараон сердце свое и во время сие, и не восхоте отпустити людий.
But Pharaoh hardened his heart this time as well, and he would not let the people go.
