Ang Ikalawang Salot: Ang Napakaraming Palaka
8 Pagkaraan noon, sinabi ni Yahweh kay Moises, “Pumunta ka sa Faraon. Sabihin mong ito ang ipinapasabi ko: Payagan mo nang umalis ang mga Israelita upang sumamba sa akin. 2-3 Kapag hindi ka pumayag, patuloy kong pahihirapan ang buong Egipto. Pupunuin ko ng palaka ang Ilog Nilo. Papasukin ng mga ito ang palasyo at aakyatin pati higaan mo. Papasukin din ng mga ito ang bahay ng mga tauhan mo at ng lahat ng Egipcio, ganoon din ang inyong mga lutuan at lalagyan ng pagkain. 4 Ikaw, ang iyong mga tauhan, at ang buong bayan ay pahihirapan nito.”
5 Sinabi pa ni Yahweh, “Sabihin mo naman kay Aaron na itapat niya sa ilog ang kanyang tungkod, gayon din sa mga kanal at mga lawa upang mapunô ng palaka ang buong Egipto.” 6 Ganoon nga ang ginawa ni Aaron. Umahon sa ilog ang mga palakang di mabilang sa dami at kumalat sa buong Egipto. 7 Ngunit nagaya rin ito ng mga salamangkero sa pamamagitan ng kanilang lihim na karunungan.
8 Ipinatawag ng Faraon sina Moises at Aaron. Sinabi niya, “Hilingin ninyo kay Yahweh na alisin ang mga palakang ito at papayagan ko na kayong maghandog sa kanya.”
9 Sinabi ni Moises, “Karangalan kong malaman kung kailan ninyo nais na idalangin ko kayo kay Yahweh, pati ang inyong mga tauhan at nasasakupan. At mawawala na ang mga palaka, maliban ang mga nasa ilog.”
10 “Bukas kung ganoon,” sabi ng Faraon.
“Matutupad po ayon sa inyong sinabi para malaman ninyo na walang kapantay ang Diyos naming si Yahweh. 11 Mawawala ang mga palaka at ang matitira lamang ay ang nasa ilog.” 12 Lumakad na sina Moises at Aaron. At tulad ng pangako nila, idinalangin ni Moises na alisin ang mga palakang nagpapahirap sa Faraon. 13 Tinugon naman siya ni Yahweh; namatay lahat ang mga palaka sa mga bahay at mga bukid. 14 Ibinunton ng mga Egipcio ang mga patay na palaka at umaalingasaw ang baho nito sa buong Egipto. 15 Ngunit nagmatigas muli ang Faraon nang ito'y makahinga na naman nang maluwag. At tulad ng sinabi ni Yahweh, hindi pa rin siya nakinig kina Moises at Aaron.
Ang Ikatlong Salot: Ang mga Niknik
16 Inutusan ni Yahweh si Moises na sabihin kay Aaron na ihampas sa lupa ang tungkod upang maging niknik ang lahat ng alikabok sa buong Egipto. 17 Inihampas nga ni Aaron ang tungkod at ang lahat ng alikabok sa buong Egipto ay naging niknik na labis na nagpahirap sa mga tao't mga hayop. 18 Pinilit ng mga salamangkero na magpalitaw rin ng niknik sa pamamagitan ng lihim nilang karunungan ngunit hindi nila ito nagawa. At ang mga tao't hayop ay patuloy na pinahirapan ng mga niknik. 19 Dahil(A) dito'y sinabi ng mga salamangkero sa Faraon, “Diyos na ang may gawa nito.” Ngunit hindi rin natinag ang kalooban ng Faraon; hindi rin siya nakinig kina Moises at Aaron, tulad ng sinabi ni Yahweh.
Ang Ikaapat na Salot: Ang mga Langaw
20 Dahil dito, sinabi ni Yahweh kay Moises, “Bukas ng umaga, hintayin mo ang Faraon pagpunta niya sa ilog at sabihin mong payagan na niyang umalis ang mga Israelita upang sumamba sa akin. 21 Kapag hindi niya pinayagan, padadagsaan ko siya ng makapal na langaw, pati ang kanyang mga tauhan at mga kababayan. Mapupuno ng langaw ang mga bahay ng mga Egipcio, pati ang lupang kanilang lalakaran. 22 Ngunit ililigtas ko ang lupain ng Goshen, ang tirahan ng mga Israelita. Hindi ko sila padadalhan ni isa mang langaw para malaman niyang akong si Yahweh ang siyang makapangyarihan sa lupaing ito. 23 Sa pamamagitan ng kababalaghang gagawin ko bukas, ipapakita ko na iba ang pagtingin ko sa aking bayan at sa kanyang bayan.” 24 Kinabukasan, ginawa nga ito ni Yahweh. Dumagsa sa Egipto ang makapal na langaw hanggang sa mapuno ang palasyo ng Faraon, ang bahay ng mga tauhan niya at ang buong Egipto. Dahil dito'y nasalanta ang buong bansa.
25 Kaya, ipinatawag ng Faraon sina Moises at Aaron at sinabi, “Sige, maghandog na kayo sa inyong Diyos, huwag lamang kayong lalabas ng Egipto.”
26 Sumagot si Moises, “Hindi po maaaring dito sa Egipto. Magagalit po sa amin ang mga Egipcio kapag nakita nila kaming naghahandog kay Yahweh sa paraang kasuklam-suklam sa kanila. Tiyak na babatuhin nila kami hanggang mamatay. 27 Ang kailangan po'y maglakbay kami ng tatlong araw at sa ilang kami maghahandog kay Yahweh tulad ng utos niya sa amin.”
28 Sinabi ng Faraon, “Papayagan ko kayong umalis, ngunit huwag kayong masyadong lalayo. At ipanalangin din ninyo ako.”
29 Sumagot si Moises, “Pag-alis ko po rito'y ipapanalangin ko kay Yahweh na alisin sa inyo ang mga langaw, gayon din sa inyong mga tauhan at nasasakupan. Ngunit huwag na ninyo kaming dadayain; huwag ninyo kaming hahadlangan sa paghahandog namin kay Yahweh.”
30 Umalis si Moises at nanalangin. 31 Tinugon naman siya ni Yahweh, at umalis nga ang mga langaw; walang natira ni isa man. 32 Ngunit nagmatigas pa rin ang Faraon; hindi niya pinayagang umalis ang mga Israelita.
出埃及記 8
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
蛙災
8 耶和華對摩西說：「你進宮去告訴法老，『耶和華說，讓以色列百姓離開，好事奉我。 2 如果你不聽從，我就使青蛙來毀壞你的國土。 3 尼羅河將充滿青蛙，牠們要跳到你的宮裡、臥室和床鋪上，你的臣僕和百姓家裡，你的爐灶和揉麵盆裡。 4 青蛙還會跳到你和你的百姓及眾臣僕身上。』」
5 耶和華對摩西說：「你叫亞倫向埃及各地的江河、溪流和池塘伸杖，使青蛙遍佈埃及全境。」 6 亞倫伸杖，青蛙就遍佈了埃及全境。 7 巫師也行邪術如法炮製，叫青蛙上來。 8 法老召摩西和亞倫進宮，對他們說：「你們快求耶和華，使這些青蛙離開我們，我便讓百姓去獻祭給耶和華。」 9 摩西對法老說：「好吧，你要我在什麼時候為你以及你的臣僕和百姓禱告，叫這些青蛙離開你和你的宮殿，只留在河裡呢？」 10 法老說：「明天。」摩西說：「就照你說的，這樣你就知道沒有神明能比得上我們的上帝耶和華。 11 明天青蛙會離開你、你的宮殿、你的臣僕和百姓，只留在河裡。」 12 摩西和亞倫離開法老後，摩西就為法老所受的蛙災一事向耶和華呼求。 13 耶和華答應了摩西的祈求。凡在房屋內、院子裡和田野中的青蛙都死了。 14 百姓把青蛙的屍體堆積起來，埃及全境都充滿了死青蛙的腐臭氣味。 15 法老看見災難已經過去，便又硬著心，不肯聽從摩西和亞倫的話，正如耶和華所言。
虱災
16 耶和華對摩西說：「你吩咐亞倫用杖擊打地上的塵土，使埃及境內的塵土變成蝨子。」 17 他們就照上帝的吩咐去做，亞倫伸杖擊打地上的塵土，蝨子就跑到人和牲畜身上，全埃及的塵土都變成了蝨子。 18 巫師們也試圖用邪術變出蝨子來，卻無法成功。埃及的百姓和牲畜身上長滿了蝨子。 19 巫師們對法老說：「這是上帝的作為。」法老的心卻仍然剛硬，不肯答應摩西和亞倫的要求，正如耶和華所言。
蒼蠅之災
20 耶和華對摩西說：「明天清早，你趁法老去河邊時去見他，告訴他，『耶和華說，放我的子民走，他們好事奉我， 21 不然，我就叫無數的蒼蠅飛到你、你的臣僕和百姓身上，進到你們各自的家中，使埃及遍地佈滿蒼蠅。 22 但那天，我子民居住的歌珊卻絲毫不會受攪擾，這樣你就知道我耶和華主宰天下。 23 我要把我的子民跟你的百姓分開，明天我必行這神蹟。』」 24 耶和華果然這樣行。密密麻麻的蒼蠅飛進法老的王宮和他臣僕的家裡，埃及全國都受到蒼蠅的毀壞。 25 法老召見摩西和亞倫，對他們說：「你們可以去獻祭給你們的上帝，不過要在我的境內舉行。」 26 摩西說：「這怎麼行？我們用來獻祭的東西，是埃及人最憎惡的。如果我們在埃及境內舉行這樣的儀式，他們一定會拿石頭打死我們。 27 我們要照我們上帝耶和華的吩咐離開這裡，走三天的路程到曠野去獻祭給祂。」 28 法老說：「好，我讓你們去曠野獻祭給你們的上帝耶和華，只是不要走得太遠。現在為我祈求吧。」 29 摩西說：「我離開這裡就去祈求耶和華，使蒼蠅明天就離開你及你的臣僕和百姓，但這次你不可再食言，阻止以色列人去向耶和華獻祭。」 30 摩西說完以後，便離開王宮，去祈求耶和華。 31 耶和華就照摩西的祈求，使成群的蒼蠅離開法老及其臣僕和百姓，一隻也沒有留下。 32 這一次，法老又硬著心，不肯讓百姓離開埃及。
Exodus 8
King James Version
8 And the Lord spake unto Moses, Go unto Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
2 And if thou refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs:
3 And the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly, which shall go up and come into thine house, and into thy bedchamber, and upon thy bed, and into the house of thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thine ovens, and into thy kneadingtroughs:
4 And the frogs shall come up both on thee, and upon thy people, and upon all thy servants.
5 And the Lord spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch forth thine hand with thy rod over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and cause frogs to come up upon the land of Egypt.
6 And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt.
7 And the magicians did so with their enchantments, and brought up frogs upon the land of Egypt.
8 Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, Intreat the Lord, that he may take away the frogs from me, and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may do sacrifice unto the Lord.
9 And Moses said unto Pharaoh, Glory over me: when shall I intreat for thee, and for thy servants, and for thy people, to destroy the frogs from thee and thy houses, that they may remain in the river only?
10 And he said, 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 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 Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh: and Moses cried unto the Lord because of the frogs which he had brought against Pharaoh.
13 And the Lord did according to the word of Moses; and the frogs died out of the houses, out of the villages, and out of the fields.
14 And they gathered them together upon heaps: and the land stank.
15 But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite, he hardened his heart, and hearkened not unto them; as the Lord had said.
16 And the Lord said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy rod, and smite the dust of the land, that it may become lice throughout all the land of Egypt.
17 And they did so; for Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and smote the dust of the earth, and it became lice in man, and in beast; all the dust of the land became lice throughout all the land of Egypt.
18 And the magicians did so with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not: so there were lice upon man, and upon beast.
19 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 said.
20 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 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 sever in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there; to the end thou mayest know that I am the Lord in the midst of the earth.
23 And I will put a division between my people and thy people: to morrow shall this sign be.
24 And the Lord did so; and there came a grievous swarm of flies into the house of Pharaoh, and into his servants' houses, and into all the land of Egypt: the land was corrupted by reason of the swarm of flies.
25 And Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, Go ye, sacrifice to your God in the land.
26 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, shall we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, and will they not stone us?
27 We will go three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to the Lord our God, as he shall command us.
28 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: intreat for me.
29 And Moses said, Behold, I go out from thee, and I will intreat the Lord that the swarms of flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people, to morrow: but let not Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to the Lord.
30 And Moses went out from Pharaoh, and intreated the Lord.
31 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 Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also, neither would he let the people go.
