出埃及記 8
1 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。
The LORD spoke to Moses, Go in to Pharaoh, and tell him, "This is what the LORD says, 'Let my people go, that they may serve me.
2 你若不肯容他們去，我必使青蛙糟蹋你的四境。
If you refuse to let them go, look, I will plague all your borders with frogs:
3 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，
and the river shall swarm with frogs, which shall go up and come into your house, and into your bedchamber, and on your bed, and into the house of your servants, and on your people, and into your ovens, and into your kneading troughs:
4 又要上你和你百姓並你眾臣僕的身上。』」
and the frogs shall come up both on you, and on your people, and on all your servants.'"
5 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。』」
The LORD said to Moses, "Tell Aaron your brother, 'Stretch forth your hand with your staff over the rivers, over the streams, and over the pools, and cause frogs to come up on the land of Egypt.'"
6 亞倫便伸杖在埃及的諸水以上，青蛙就上來，遮滿了埃及地。
Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt.
7 行法術的也用他們的邪術照樣而行，叫青蛙上了埃及地。
The magicians did in like manner with their secret arts, and brought up frogs on the land of Egypt.
8 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。」
Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, "Pray to the LORD, that he take away the frogs from me, and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may sacrifice to the LORD."
9 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？」
Moses said to Pharaoh, "I give you the honor of setting the time that I should pray for you, and for your servants, and for your people, that the frogs be destroyed from you and your houses, and remain in the river only."
10 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。
He said, "Tomorrow." He said, "Be it according to your word, that you may know that there is none like the LORD our God.
11 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。」
The frogs shall depart from you, and from your houses, and from your servants, and from your people. They shall remain in the river only."
12 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。
Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh, and Moses cried to the LORD concerning the frogs which he had brought on Pharaoh.
13 耶和華就照摩西的話行。凡在房裏、院中、田間的青蛙都死了。
The LORD did according to the word of Moses, and the frogs died out of the houses, out of the courts, and out of the fields.
14 眾人把青蛙聚攏成堆，遍地就都腥臭。
They gathered them together in heaps, and the land stank.
15 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。
But when Pharaoh saw that there was a respite, he hardened his heart, and did not listen to them, as the LORD had spoken.
16 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。』」
The LORD said to Moses, "Tell Aaron, 'Stretch out your hand with your staff, and strike the dust of the earth, that it may become lice throughout all the land of Egypt.'"
17 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。
They did so; and Aaron stretched out his hand with his staff, and struck the dust of the earth, and there were lice on man, and on animal; all the dust of the earth became lice throughout all the land of Egypt.
18 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。
The magicians tried with their secret arts to bring forth lice, but they couldn't. There were lice on man, and on animal.
19 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。
Then the magicians said to Pharaoh, "This is the finger of God:" and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he did not listen to them; as the LORD had spoken.
20 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。
The LORD said to Moses, "Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh; look, he comes forth to the water; and tell him, 'This is what the LORD says, "Let my people go, that they may serve me.
21 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。
Else, if you will not let my people go, look, I will send swarms of flies on you, and on your servants, and on your people, and into your houses: and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of flies, and also the ground whereon they are.
22 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。
I will set apart in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there; to the end you may know that I am the LORD in the midst of the earth.
23 我要將我的百姓和你的百姓分別出來。明天必有這神蹟。』」
I will put a division between my people and your people: by tomorrow shall this sign be."'"
24 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。
The LORD did so; and there came grievous swarms of flies into the house of Pharaoh, and into his servants' houses: and in all the land of Egypt the land was corrupted by reason of the swarms of flies.
25 法老召了摩西、亞倫來，說：「你們去，在這地祭祀你們的上帝吧！」
Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, "Go, sacrifice to your God in the land."
26 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？
Moses said, "It isn't appropriate to do so; for we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to the LORD our God. Look, shall we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, and won't they stone us?
27 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。」
We will go three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to the LORD our God, as he shall command us."
28 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。」
Pharaoh said, "I will let you go, that you may sacrifice to the LORD your God in the wilderness, only you shall not go very far away. Pray for me."
29 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。」
Moses said, "Look, I go out from you, and I will pray to God that the swarms of flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people, tomorrow; only do not let Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to the LORD."
30 於是摩西離開法老去求耶和華。
Moses went out from Pharaoh, and prayed to God.
31 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。
The LORD did according to the word of Moses, and he removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people. There remained not one.
32 這一次法老又硬着心，不容百姓去。
Pharaoh hardened his heart this time also, and he did not let the people go.
