2 Mosebog 8
1 Derpå sagde HERREN til Moses: "Gå til Farao og sig til ham: Så siger HERREN: Lad mit Folk rejse, for at de kan dyrke mig!
And this is what the Lord said to Moses: Go to Pharaoh and say to him, The Lord says, Let my people go so that they may give me worship.
2 Men hvis du vægrer dig ved at lade dem rejse, se, da vil jeg plage hele dit Land med Frøer;
And if you will not let them go, see, I will send frogs into every part of your land:
3 Nilen skal vrimle af Frøer, og de skal kravle op og trænge ind i dit Hus og dit Sovekammer og på dit Leje og i dine Tjeneres og dit Folks Huse, i dine Bagerovne og dine Dejgtruge;
The Nile will be full of frogs, and they will come up into your house and into your bedrooms and on your bed, and into the houses of your servants and your people, and into your ovens and into your bread-basins.
4 ja på dig selv og dit Folk og alle dine Tjenere skal Frøerne kravle op."
The frogs will come up over you and your people and all your servants.
5 Da sagde HERREN til Moses: "Sig til Aron: Ræk din Hånd med Staven ud over Floderne, Kanalerne og Dammene og få Frøerne til at kravle op over Ægypten!"
And the Lord said to Moses, Say to Aaron, Let the rod in your hand be stretched out over the streams and the waterways and the pools, causing frogs to come up on the land of Egypt.
6 Og Aron rakte sin Hånd ud over Ægyptens Vande. Da kravlede Frøerne op og fyldte Ægypten.
And when Aaron put out his hand over the waters of Egypt, the frogs came up and all the land of Egypt was covered with them.
7 Men Koglerne gjorde det samme ved Hjælp af deres hemmelige Kunster og fik Frøerne til at kravle op over Ægypten.
And the wonder-workers did the same with their secret arts, making frogs come up over the land of Egypt.
8 Da lod Farao Moses og Aron kalde og sagde: "Gå i Forbøn hos HERREN, at han skiller mig og mit Folk af med Frøerne, så vil jeg lade Folket rejse, at de kan ofre til HERREN."
Then Pharaoh sent for Moses and Aaron and said, Make prayer to the Lord that he will take away these frogs from me and my people; and I will let the people go and make their offering to the Lord.
9 Moses svarede Farao: "Du behøver kun at befale over mig! Til hvilken Tid skal jeg gå i Forbøn for dig, dine Tjenere og dit Folk om at få Frøerne bort fra dig og dine Huse, så de kun bliver tilbage i Nilen?"
And Moses said, I will let you have the honour of saying when I am to make prayer for you and your servants and your people, that the frogs may be sent away from you and your houses, and be only in the Nile.
10 Han svarede: "I Morgen!" Da sagde han: "Det skal ske, som du siger, for at du kan kende, at der ingen er som HERREN vor Gud;
And he said, By tomorrow. And he said, Let it be as you say: so that you may see that there is no other like the Lord our God.
11 Frøerne skal vige bort fra dig, dine Huse, dine Tjenere og dit Folk; kun i Nilen skal de blive tilbage."
And the frogs will be gone from you and from your houses and from your servants and from your people and will be only in the Nile.
12 Moses og Aron gik nu bort fra Farao, og Moses råbte til HERREN om at bortrydde Frøerne, som han havde sendt over Farao;
Then Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh; and Moses made prayer to the Lord about the frogs which he had sent on Pharaoh.
13 og HERREN gjorde, som Moses bad: Frøerne døde i Husene, i Gårdene og på Markerne,
And the Lord did as Moses said; and there was an end of all the frogs in the houses and in the open spaces and in the fields.
14 og man samlede dem sammen i Dynger, så Landet kom til at stinke deraf.
And they put them together in masses, and a bad smell went up from the land.
15 Men da Farao så, at han havde fået Luft, forhærdede han sit Hjerte og hørte ikke på dem, således som HERREN havde sagt.
But when Pharaoh saw that there was peace for a time, he made his heart hard and did not give ear to them, as the Lord had said.
16 Derpå sagde HERREN til Moses: "Sig til Aron: Ræk din Stav ud og slå Støvet på Jorden med den, så skal det blive til Myg i hele Ægypten!"
And the Lord said to Moses, Say to Aaron, Let your rod be stretched out over the dust of the earth so that it may become insects through all the land of Egypt.
17 Og de gjorde således; Aron udrakte sin Hånd med Staven og slog Støvet på Jorden dermed. Da kom der Myg over Mennesker og Dyr; alt Støvet på Jorden blev til Myg i hele Ægypten.
And they did so; and Aaron, stretching out the rod in his hand, gave a touch to the dust of the earth, and insects came on man and on beast; all the dust of the earth was changed into insects through all the land of Egypt.
18 Koglerne søgte nu også ved Hjælp af deres hemmelige Kunster at fremkalde Myg, men de magtede det ikke. Og Myggene kom over Mennesker og Dyr.
And the wonder-workers with their secret arts, attempting to make insects, were unable to do so: and there were insects on man and on beast.
19 Da sagde Koglerne til Farao: "Det er Guds Finger!" Men Faraos Hjerte blev forhærdet, så han ikke hørte på dem, således som HERREN havde sagt.
Then the wonder-workers said to Pharaoh, This is the finger of God: but Pharaoh's heart was hard, and he did not give ear to them, as the Lord had said.
20 Derpå sagde HERREN til Moses: "Træd i Morgen tidlig frem for Farao, når han begiver sig ned til Vandet, og sig til ham: Så siger HERREN: Lad mit Folk rejse, for at de kan dyrke mig!
And the Lord said to Moses, Get up early in the morning and take your place before Pharaoh when he comes out to the water; and say to him, This is what the Lord says: Let my people go to give me worship.
21 Men hvis du ikke lader mit Folk rejse, se, da sender jeg Bremser over dig, dine Tjenere, dit Folk og dine Huse, og Ægypternes Huse skal blive fulde af Bremser, ja endog Jorden, de bor på;
For if you do not let my people go, see, I will send clouds of flies on you and on your servants and on your people and into their houses; and the houses of the Egyptians and the land where they are will be full of flies.
22 men med Gosens Land, hvor mit Folk bor, vil jeg til den Tid gøre en Undtagelse, så der ingen Bremser kommer, for at du kan kende, at jeg HERREN er i Landet;
And at that time I will make a division between your land and the land of Goshen where my people are, and no flies will be there; so that you may see that I am the Lord over all the earth.
23 og jeg vil sætte Skel mellem mit Folk og dit Folk; i Morgen skal dette Tegn ske!"
And I will put a division between my people and your people; tomorrow this sign will be seen.
24 Og HERREN gjorde således: Vældige Bremsesværme trængte ind i Faraos og hans Tjeneres Huse og i hele Ægypten, og Landet hærgedes af Bremserne.
And the Lord did so; and great clouds of flies came into the house of Pharaoh and into his servants' houses, and all the land of Egypt was made waste because of the flies.
25 Da lod Farao Moses og Aron kalde og sagde: "Gå hen og bring eders Gud et Offer her i Landet!"
And Pharaoh sent for Moses and Aaron and said, Go and make your offering to your God here in the land.
26 Men Moses sagde: "Det går ikke an at gøre således, thi til HERREN vor Gud ofrer vi, hvad der er Ægypterne en Vederstyggelighed; og når vi for Øjnene af Ægypterne ofrer, hvad der er dem en Vederstyggelighed, mon de da ikke stener os?
And Moses said, It is not right to do so; for we make our offerings of that to which the Egyptians give worship; and if we do so before their eyes, certainly we will be stoned.
27 Lad os drage tre Dagsrejser ud i Ørkenen og ofre til HERREN vor Gud, således som han har pålagt os!"
But we will go three days' journey into the waste land and make an offering to the Lord our God as he may give us orders.
28 Farao sagde: "Jeg vil lade eder rejse hen og ofre til HERREN eders Gud i Ørkenen; kun må I ikke rejse for langt bort; men gå i Forbøn for mig!"
Then Pharaoh said, I will let you go to make an offering to the Lord your God in the waste land; but do not go very far away, and make prayer for me.
29 Moses svarede: "Se, så snart jeg kommer ud herfra, skal jeg gå i Forbøn hos HERREN, og Bremserne skal vige bort fra Farao, hans Tjenere og hans Folk i Morgen. Blot Farao så ikke igen narrer os og nægter at lade Folket rejse hen og ofre til HERREN!"
And Moses said, When I go out from you I will make prayer to the Lord that the cloud of flies may go away from Pharaoh and from his people and from his servants tomorrow: only let Pharaoh no longer by deceit keep back the people from making their offering to the Lord.
30 Derpå gik Moses bort fra Farao og gik i Forbøn hos HERREN.
Then Moses went out from Pharaoh and made prayer to the Lord.
31 Og HERREN gjorde, som Moses bad, og Bremserne veg bort fra Farao, hans Tjenere og hans Folk; der blev ikke en eneste tilbage.
And the Lord did as Moses said, and took away the cloud of flies from Pharaoh and from his servants and from his people; not one was to be seen.
32 Men Farao forhærdede også denne Gang sit Hjerte og lod ikke Folket rejse.
But again Pharaoh made his heart hard and did not let the people go.
