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。
出埃及 8
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
蛙灾
8 耶和华对摩西说：“你进宫去告诉法老，‘耶和华说，让以色列百姓离开，好事奉我。 2 如果你不听从，我就使青蛙来毁坏你的国土。 3 尼罗河将充满青蛙，它们要跳到你的宫里、卧室和床铺上，你的臣仆和百姓家里，你的炉灶和揉面盆里。 4 青蛙还会跳到你和你的百姓及众臣仆身上。’”
5 耶和华对摩西说：“你叫亚伦向埃及各地的江河、溪流和池塘伸杖，使青蛙遍布埃及全境。” 6 亚伦伸杖，青蛙就遍布了埃及全境。 7 巫师也行邪术如法炮制，叫青蛙上来。 8 法老召摩西和亚伦进宫，对他们说：“你们快求耶和华，使这些青蛙离开我们，我便让百姓去献祭给耶和华。” 9 摩西对法老说：“好吧，你要我在什么时候为你以及你的臣仆和百姓祷告，叫这些青蛙离开你和你的宫殿，只留在河里呢？” 10 法老说：“明天。”摩西说：“就照你说的，这样你就知道没有神明能比得上我们的上帝耶和华。 11 明天青蛙会离开你、你的宫殿、你的臣仆和百姓，只留在河里。” 12 摩西和亚伦离开法老后，摩西就为法老所受的蛙灾一事向耶和华呼求。 13 耶和华答应了摩西的祈求。凡在房屋内、院子里和田野中的青蛙都死了。 14 百姓把青蛙的尸体堆积起来，埃及全境都充满了死青蛙的腐臭气味。 15 法老看见灾难已经过去，便又硬着心，不肯听从摩西和亚伦的话，正如耶和华所言。
虱灾
16 耶和华对摩西说：“你吩咐亚伦用杖击打地上的尘土，使埃及境内的尘土变成虱子。” 17 他们就照上帝的吩咐去做，亚伦伸杖击打地上的尘土，虱子就跑到人和牲畜身上，全埃及的尘土都变成了虱子。 18 巫师们也试图用邪术变出虱子来，却无法成功。埃及的百姓和牲畜身上长满了虱子。 19 巫师们对法老说：“这是上帝的作为。”法老的心却仍然刚硬，不肯答应摩西和亚伦的要求，正如耶和华所言。
苍蝇之灾
20 耶和华对摩西说：“明天清早，你趁法老去河边时去见他，告诉他，‘耶和华说，放我的子民走，他们好事奉我， 21 不然，我就叫无数的苍蝇飞到你、你的臣仆和百姓身上，进到你们各自的家中，使埃及遍地布满苍蝇。 22 但那天，我子民居住的歌珊却丝毫不会受搅扰，这样你就知道我耶和华主宰天下。 23 我要把我的子民跟你的百姓分开，明天我必行这神迹。’” 24 耶和华果然这样行。密密麻麻的苍蝇飞进法老的王宫和他臣仆的家里，埃及全国都受到苍蝇的毁坏。 25 法老召见摩西和亚伦，对他们说：“你们可以去献祭给你们的上帝，不过要在我的境内举行。” 26 摩西说：“这怎么行？我们用来献祭的东西，是埃及人最憎恶的。如果我们在埃及境内举行这样的仪式，他们一定会拿石头打死我们。 27 我们要照我们上帝耶和华的吩咐离开这里，走三天的路程到旷野去献祭给祂。” 28 法老说：“好，我让你们去旷野献祭给你们的上帝耶和华，只是不要走得太远。现在为我祈求吧。” 29 摩西说：“我离开这里就去祈求耶和华，使苍蝇明天就离开你及你的臣仆和百姓，但这次你不可再食言，阻止以色列人去向耶和华献祭。” 30 摩西说完以后，便离开王宫，去祈求耶和华。 31 耶和华就照摩西的祈求，使成群的苍蝇离开法老及其臣仆和百姓，一只也没有留下。 32 这一次，法老又硬着心，不肯让百姓离开埃及。
Exodus 8
Contemporary English Version
8 1 he said to Moses:
Go to the palace and tell the king[a] of Egypt that I order him to let my people go, so they can worship me. 2 If he refuses, I will cover his entire country with frogs. 3 Warn the king that the Nile will be full of frogs, and from there they will spread into the royal palace, including the king's bedroom and even his bed. Frogs will enter the homes of his officials and will find their way into ovens and into the bowls of bread dough. 4 Frogs will be crawling on everyone—the king, his officials, and every citizen of Egypt.
5 Moses, now command Aaron to hold his stick over the water. Then frogs will come from all rivers, canals, and ponds in Egypt, and they will cover the land.
6 Aaron obeyed, and suddenly frogs were everywhere in Egypt. 7 But the magicians used their secret powers to do the same thing.
8 The king sent for Moses and Aaron and told them, “If you ask the Lord to take these frogs away from me and my people, I will let your people go and offer sacrifices to him.”
9 “All right,” Moses answered. “You choose the time when I am to pray for the frogs to stop bothering you, your officials, and your people, and for them to leave your houses and be found only in the river.”
10 “Do it tomorrow!” the king replied.
“As you wish,” Moses agreed. “Then everyone will discover that there is no god like the Lord, 11 and frogs will no longer be found anywhere, except in the Nile.”
12 After Moses and Aaron left the palace, Moses begged the Lord to do something about the frogs he had sent as punishment for the king. 13 The Lord listened to Moses, and the frogs died everywhere—in houses, yards, and fields. 14 The dead frogs were placed in piles, and the whole country began to stink. 15 But when the king saw that things were now better, he again did just as the Lord had said he would and stubbornly refused to listen to Moses and Aaron.
Gnats
16 The Lord said to Moses, “Command Aaron to strike the ground with his walking stick, and everywhere in Egypt the dust will turn into gnats.” 17 They obeyed, and when Aaron struck the ground with the stick, gnats started swarming on people and animals. In fact, every speck of dust in Egypt turned into a gnat. 18 When the magicians tried to use their secret powers to do this,[b] they failed, and gnats stayed on people and animals.
19 (A) The magicians told the king,[c] “God has done this.”
But, as the Lord had said, the king was too stubborn to listen.
Flies
20 The Lord said to Moses:
Early tomorrow morning, while the king[d] is on his way to the river, go and say to him, “The Lord commands you to let his people go, so they can worship him. 21 If you don't, he will send swarms of flies to attack you, your officials, and every citizen of your country. Your houses will be full of flies, and the ground will crawl with them.
22-23 “The Lord's people in Goshen won't be bothered by flies, but your people in the rest of the country will be tormented by them. That's how you will know that the Lord is here in Egypt. This miracle will happen tomorrow.”
24 The Lord kept his promise—the palace and the homes of the royal officials swarmed with flies, and the rest of the country was infested with them as well. 25 Then the king sent for Moses and Aaron and told them, “Go ahead and sacrifice to your God, but stay here in Egypt.”
26 “That's impossible!” Moses replied. “Any sacrifices we offer to the Lord our God would disgust the Egyptians, and they would stone us to death. 27 No indeed! The Lord has ordered us to walk three days into the desert before offering sacrifices to him, and that's what we have to do.”
28 Then the king told him, “I'll let you go into the desert to offer sacrifices, if you don't go very far. But in the meantime, pray for me.”
29 “Your Majesty,” Moses replied, “I'll pray for you as soon as I leave, and by tomorrow the flies will stop bothering you, your officials, and the citizens of your country. Only make sure that you're telling the truth this time and that you really intend to let our people offer sacrifices to the Lord.”
30 After leaving the palace, Moses prayed, 31 and the Lord answered his prayer. Not a fly was left to pester the king, his officials, or anyone else in Egypt. 32 But the king turned stubborn again and would not let the people go.
