Exodus 8

1 Also the Lord seide to Moises, Entre thou to Farao, and thou schalt seie to hym, The Lord seith these thingis, Delyuere thou my puple, that it make sacrifice to me; sotheli if thou nylt delyuere, lo!

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。

2 Y schal smyte alle thi termys with paddoks;

你若不肯容他們去，我必使青蛙糟蹋你的四境。

3 and the flood schal buyle out paddokis, that schulen stie, and schulen entre in to thin hows, and in to the closet of thi bed, and on thi bed, and in to `the hous of thi seruauntis, and in to thi puple, and in to thin ouenes, and in to the relyues of thi metis;

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，

4 and the paddoks schulen entre to thee, and to thi puple, and to alle thi seruauntis.

又要上你和你百姓並你眾臣僕的身上。』」

5 And the Lord seide to Moises, Seie thou to Aaron, Hold forth thin hond on the floodis, and on the streemes, and mareis; and bryng out paddoks on the lond of Egipt.

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。』」

6 And Aaron helde forth the hond on the watris of Egipt; and paddoks stieden, and hileden the lond of Egipt.

亞倫便伸杖在埃及的諸水以上，青蛙就上來，遮滿了埃及地。

7 Forsothe and the witchis diden in lijk maner bi her enchauntementis; and thei brouyten forth paddoks on the lond of Egipt.

行法術的也用他們的邪術照樣而行，叫青蛙上了埃及地。

8 Forsothe Farao clepide Moises and Aaron, and seide to hem, Preie ye the Lord, that he do a wei the paddoks fro me, and fro my puple; and Y schal delyuere the puple, that it make sacrifice to the Lord.

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。」

9 And Moises seide to Farao, Ordeyne thou a tyme to me, whanne Y schal preie for thee, and for thi seruauntis, and for thi puple, that the paddokis be dryuun awei fro thee, and fro thin hows, and fro thi seruauntis, and fro thi puple; and dwelle oneli in the flood.

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？」

10 And he answeride, To morewe. And Moises seide, Y schal do bi thi word, that thou wite, that noon is as oure Lord God; and the paddoks schulen go awei fro thee,

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。

11 and fro thin hous, and fro thi children, and fro thi seruauntis, and fro thi puple; and tho schulen dwelle oneli in the flood.

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。」

12 And Moises and Aaron yeden out fro Farao. And Moises criede to the Lord, for the biheest of paddoks, which he hadde seid to Farao.

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。

13 And the Lord dide bi the word of Moises; and the paddoks weren deed fro housis, and fro townes, and fro feeldis;

耶和華就照摩西的話行。凡在房裏、院中、田間的青蛙都死了。

14 and thei gaderiden tho in to grete heepis, and the lond was rotun.

眾人把青蛙聚攏成堆，遍地就都腥臭。

15 Sotheli Farao seiy that reste was youun, and he made greuous his herte, and herde not hem, as the Lord comaundide.

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。

16 And the Lord seide to Moises, Spek thou to Aaron, Holde forth thi yerde, and smyte the dust of erthe, and litle flies, ether gnattis, be in al the lond of Egipt.

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。』」

17 And thei diden so; and Aaron helde forth the hond, and helde the yerde, and smoot the duste of erthe; and gnattis weren maad in men, and in werk beestis; al the dust of erthe was turned in to gnattis bi al the lond of Egipt.

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。

18 And witchis diden in lijk maner bi her enchauntementis, that thei schulden brynge forth gnattis, and thei miyten not; and gnattis weren as wel in men as in werk beestis.

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。

19 And the witchis seiden to Farao, This is the fyngur of God. And the herte of Farao was maad hard, and he herde not hem, as the Lord comaundide.

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。

20 And the Lord seide to Moises, Rise thou eerli, and stonde bifore Farao, for he schal go out to the watris; and thou schalt seie to hym, The Lord seith these thingis, Delyuere thou my puple, that it make sacrifice to me;

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。

21 that if thou schalt not delyuere the puple, lo! Y schal sende in to thee, and in to thi seruauntis, and in to thi puple, and in to thin housis, al the kynde of flies; and the housis of Egipcians schulen be fillid with flies of dyuerse kyndis, and al the lond in which thei schulen be.

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。

22 And in that dai Y schal make wondurful the lond of Gessen, in which my puple is, that flies be not there; and that thou wite that Y am the Lord in the myddis of erthe;

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。

23 and Y schal sette departyng bitwixe my puple and thi puple; this signe schal be to morewe.

我要將我的百姓和你的百姓分別出來。明天必有這神蹟。』」

24 And the Lord dide so. And a moost greuouse flie cam in to the hows of Farao, and of hise seruauntis, and in to al the lond of Egipt; and the lond was corrupt of siche flies.

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。

25 And Farao clepide Moises and Aaron, and seide to hem, Go ye, make ye sacrifice to `youre Lord God in this lond.

法老召了摩西、亞倫來，說：「你們去，在這地祭祀你們的上帝吧！」

26 And Moises seide, It may not be so, for `we schulen offre to oure God the abhomynaciouns of Egipcians; that if we schulen sle bifore Egipcians tho thingis whiche thei worschipen, thei schulen `ouerleie vs with stoonus.

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？

27 We schulen go the weie of thre daies in to wildirnesse, and we schulen make sacrifice to oure Lord God, as he comaundide vs.

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。」

28 And Farao seide, Y schal delyuere you, that ye make sacrifice to `youre Lord God in deseert; netheles go ye not ferthere; preie ye for me.

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。」

29 And Moises seide, Y schal go out fro thee, and Y schal preie the Lord; and the fli schal go awei fro Farao, and fro hise seruauntis, and puple to morewe; netheles nyle thou more disseyue me, that thou delyuere not the puple to make sacrifice to the Lord.

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。」

30 And Moises yede out fro Farao, and preiede the Lord, whiche dide bi the word of Moyses,

於是摩西離開法老去求耶和華。

31 and took awei flies fro Farao, and fro hise seruauntis, and puple; noon lefte, `sotheli nether oon.

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。

32 And the herte of Farao was maad hard, so that he delyueride not the puple, sothli nethir in this tyme.

這一次法老又硬着心，不容百姓去。
