Exodus 8

1 And he said Yahweh to Moses go to Pharaoh and you will say to him thus he says Yahweh let go people my so they may serve me.

And the LORD spoke unto Moses: 'Go in unto Pharaoh, and say unto him: Thus saith the LORD: Let My people go, that they may serve Me.

2 And if [are] refusing you to let [them] go here! I [am] about to strike all territory your with frogs.

And if thou refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs.

3 And it will swarm the River frogs and they will go up and they will go in house your and in [the] chamber of lying down your and on bed your and in [the] house of servants your and on people your and in ovens your and in kneading troughs your.

And the river shall swarm with frogs, which shall go up and come into thy house, and into thy bed-chamber, and upon thy bed, and into the house of thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thine ovens, and into thy kneading-troughs.

4 And on you and on people your and on all servants your they will go up the frogs.

And the frogs shall come up both upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon all thy servants.'

5 And he said Yahweh to Moses say to Aaron stretch out hand your with staff your over the rivers over the canals and over the ponds and bring up the frogs on [the] land of Egypt.

And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Say unto Aaron: Stretch forth thy hand with thy rod over the rivers, over the canals, and over the pools, and cause frogs to come up upon the land of Egypt.'

6 And he stretched out Aaron hand his over [the] waters of Egypt and it went up the frog[s] and it covered [the] land of Egypt.

And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt.

7 And they did thus the magicians by enchantments their and they brought up the frogs on [the] land of Egypt.

And the magicians did in like manner with their secret arts, and brought up frogs upon the land of Egypt.

8 And he summoned Pharaoh Moses and Aaron and he said pray to Yahweh so may he remove the frogs from me and from people my and I will let go the people so they may sacrifice to Yahweh.

Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said: 'Entreat 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 unto the LORD.'

9 And he said Moses to Pharaoh honor yourself over me to when? - will I pray for you and for servants your and for people your to cut off the frogs from you and from houses your only in the River they will remain.

And Moses said unto Pharaoh: 'Have thou this glory over me; against what time shall I entreat for thee, and for thy servants, and for thy people, that the frogs be destroyed from thee and thy houses, and remain in the river only?'

10 And he said to tomorrow and he said according to word your so that you may know that there not [is] like Yahweh God our.

And he said: 'Against to-morrow.' And he said: 'Be it according to thy word; that thou mayest know that there is none like unto the LORD our God.

11 And they will depart the frogs from you and from houses your and from servants your and from people your only in the River they will remain.

And the frogs shall depart from thee, and from thy houses, and from thy servants, and from thy people; they shall remain in the river only.'

12 And he went out Moses and Aaron from with Pharaoh and he cried out Moses to Yahweh on [the] matter of the frogs which he had appointed for Pharaoh.

And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh; and Moses cried unto the LORD concerning the frogs, which He had brought upon Pharaoh.

13 And he did Yahweh according to [the] word of Moses and they died the frogs from the houses from the villages and from the fields.

And 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 And people piled up them heaps heaps and it stank the land.

And they gathered them together in heaps; and the land stank.

15 And he saw Pharaoh that it had come the respite and he made heavy heart his and not he listened to them just as he had said Yahweh.

But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite, he hardened his heart, and hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had spoken.

16 And he said Yahweh to Moses say to Aaron stretch out staff your and strike [the] dust of the earth and it will become gnats in all [the] land of Egypt.

And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Say unto Aaron: Stretch out thy rod, and smite the dust of the earth, that it may become gnats throughout all the land of Egypt.'

17 And they did so and he stretched out Aaron hand his with staff his and he struck [the] dust of the ground and it was the gnat[s] on humankind and on the livestock all [the] dust of the ground it was gnats in all [the] land of Egypt.

And they did so; and Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and smote the dust of the earth, and there were gnats upon man, and upon beast; all the dust of the earth became gnats throughout all the land of Egypt.

18 And they did thus the magicians by enchantments their to bring forth the gnats and not they were able and it was the gnat[s] on humankind and on the livestock.

And the magicians did so with their secret arts to bring forth gnats, but they could not; and there were gnats upon man, and upon beast.

19 And they said the magicians to Pharaoh [is] [the] finger of God it and it was strong [the] heart of Pharaoh and not he listened to them just as he had said Yahweh.

Then the magicians said unto Pharaoh: 'This is the finger of God'; and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had spoken.

20 And he said Yahweh to Moses rise early in the morning and present yourself before Pharaoh there! [he is] going out the water towards and you will say to him thus he says Yahweh let go people my so they may serve me.

And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh; lo, he cometh forth to the water; and say unto him: Thus saith the LORD: Let My people go, that they may serve Me.

21 That except not you [are] letting go people my here I [am] about to send on you and on servants your and on people your and on houses your the swarm and they will be full [the] houses of Egypt the swarm and also the ground which they [are] on it.

Else, if thou wilt not let My people go, behold, I will send swarms of flies upon thee, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thy houses; and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of flies, and also the ground whereon they are.

22 And I will separate on the day that [the] land of Goshen which people my [is] standing on it to not to be there a swarm so that you may know that I [am] Yahweh in [the] midst of the land.

And 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 that thou mayest know that I am the LORD in the midst of the earth.

23 And I will make a ransom between people my and between people your to tomorrow it will happen the sign this.

And I will put a division between My people and thy people — by to-morrow shall this sign be.'

24 And he did Yahweh so and it came a swarm massive [the] house of towards Pharaoh and [the] house of servants his and in all [the] land of Egypt it was ruined the land because of the swarm.

And 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 ruined by reason of the swarms of flies.

25 And he summoned Pharaoh Moses and Aaron and he said go sacrifice to God your in the land.

And Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said: 'Go ye, sacrifice to your God in the land.'

26 And he said Moses not [is] established to do thus for [the] abomination of Egypt we will sacrifice to Yahweh God our here! we will sacrifice [the] abomination of Egypt to eyes their and not will they stone? us.

And Moses said: 'It is not meet so to do; for we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to the LORD our God; lo, if we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, will they not stone us?

27 A journey of three days we will go in the wilderness and we will sacrifice to Yahweh God our just as he says to us.

We will go three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to the LORD our God, as He shall command us.'

28 And he said Pharaoh I I will let go you and you will sacrifice to Yahweh God your in the wilderness only certainly not you must be far away to go pray for me.

And Pharaoh said: 'I will let you go, that ye may sacrifice to the LORD your God in the wilderness; only ye shall not go very far away; entreat for me.'

29 And he said Moses here! I [am] about to go out from with you and I will pray to Yahweh and he will turn aside the swarm from Pharaoh from servants his and from people his tomorrow only may not he repeat Pharaoh to deceive to not to let go the people to sacrifice to Yahweh.

And Moses said: 'Behold, I go out from thee, and I will entreat the LORD that the swarms of flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people, tomorrow; only let not Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to the LORD.'

30 And he went out Moses from with Pharaoh and he prayed to Yahweh.

And Moses went out from Pharaoh, and entreated the LORD.

31 And he did Yahweh according to [the] word of Moses and he turned aside the swarm from Pharaoh from servants his and from people his not it remained one.

And 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 And he made heavy Pharaoh heart his also at the time this and not he let go the people.

And Pharaoh hardened his heart this time also, and he did not let the people go.
