出埃及 8
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
蛙灾
8 耶和华对摩西说：“你到法老那里去，对他说：‘耶和华这样说：“让我的人民离开这里，使他们可以事奉我。 2 如果你拒绝让他们离开这里，看哪，我必用青蛙击打你的全境。 3 河里必滋生青蛙；青蛙必上来，进到你的宫殿和卧房里去，跳上你的床，进你臣仆的房屋，跳上你人民的身上，进你的炉子和抟面盆。 4 青蛙也必跳上你、你的人民和臣仆的身上。”’”（本章第1~4节在《马索拉文本》为7:26~29）
5 耶和华对摩西说：“你要对亚伦说把手中的杖伸在江、河、池之上，使青蛙上到埃及地来。”（本节在《马索拉文本》为8:1） 6 亚伦把手一伸在埃及的众水之上，青蛙就上来了，并且遮盖了埃及地。 7 众术士也用他们的巫术照样行了，使青蛙上了埃及地来。
8 法老把摩西和亚伦召了来，说：“请你们恳求耶和华，好叫他使青蛙离开我和我的人民，我就必让这人民离开这里，使他们可以向耶和华献祭。” 9 摩西回答法老：“请指示，我要在甚么时候为你和你的臣仆，以及你的人民，恳求耶和华除灭青蛙，使青蛙离开你和你的宫殿，只留在河里呢？”
10 法老说：“明天。”摩西回答：“就照着你的话行吧，好叫你知道没有神像耶和华我们的 神。 11 青蛙必离开你和你的宫殿、你的臣仆和你的人民，只留在河里。” 12 于是，摩西和亚伦离开法老走了出来；摩西为了耶和华加在法老身上青蛙的灾害向耶和华呼求。 13 耶和华就照着摩西的话行了；在房屋里、院子里和田野中的青蛙都死了。 14 有人把青蛙一堆一堆积聚起来，那地就发臭了。 15 法老一见灾祸平息了，就心里刚硬，不肯听他们的话，就像耶和华所说的。
虱灾
16 耶和华对摩西说：“你要对亚伦说：‘伸出你的手杖，击打地上的尘土，使尘土在埃及全地都变成虱子。’” 17 他们就这样行了；亚伦伸出手中的杖，击打地上的尘土，就在人身上和牲畜身上有了虱子；埃及全地所有地上的尘土都变成了虱子。 18 众术士也用他们的巫术照样行，要生出虱子来，却不能办到；所以在人身上和牲畜身上都有虱子。 19 众术士就对法老说：“这是 神的手指头。”法老却心里刚硬，不肯听摩西和亚伦，就像耶和华所说的。
蝇灾
20 耶和华对摩西说：“你要清早起来，站在法老面前；看哪，法老到水边来的时候，你要对他说：‘耶和华这样说：你要让我的人民离开这里，使他们可以事奉我。 21 如果你不让我的人民离开这里，看哪，我必叫苍蝇落在你和你臣仆，以及人民的身上，进到你的宫殿；埃及人的房屋都必充满苍蝇，他们所在的地方也是这样。 22 那日，我必把我人民居住的地方歌珊分别出来，使那里没有苍蝇，为要使你知道在全地上只有我是耶和华。 23 我必把我的人民和你的人民分别出来（按照《马索拉文本》，“分别出来”作“设定救赎”；两者在原文非常相似，现参照《七十士译本》等古译本翻译），明天必有这神迹。’” 24 耶和华就这样行了；无数的苍蝇进了法老的宫殿和他臣仆的房屋，并且遍布埃及全地；那地就因为苍蝇的缘故毁坏了。
25 法老把摩西和亚伦召了来，对他们说：“你们去，在这地献祭给你们的 神吧。” 26 摩西回答：“决不可以这样行，因为我们要把埃及人看为可憎的祭物献给耶和华我们的 神；如果我们把埃及人看为可憎的祭物在他们眼前献上，难道他们不拿石头打死我们吗？ 27 我们要走三天的路程进到旷野，好照着耶和华吩咐我们的，向耶和华我们的 神献祭。” 28 法老回答：“我必让你们离开这里，你们可以在旷野献祭给耶和华你们的 神，只是你们不可走得太远；请你们为我祈祷。” 29 摩西说：“看哪，我要离开你出去，祈求耶和华，使苍蝇明天可以离开法老和法老的臣仆，以及法老的人民，只是不可再行欺骗，不让以色列人离开这里去献祭给耶和华。” 30 于是，摩西从法老那里出来，去祈求耶和华。 31 耶和华就照着摩西的话行了，使苍蝇离开了法老和他的臣仆，以及他的人民，连一只也没有留下。 32 可是，这一次法老还是心里刚硬，不肯让以色列人离开。

Plague Two: Frogs
8 [a] And Yahweh said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh, and say to him, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “Release my people so that they may serve me.” 2 And if you are refusing to release, look, I am going to plague all of your territory with frogs. 3 And the Nile will swarm with frogs, and they will go up and come into your house and into your bedroom[b] and onto your bed and into the house of your servants and among your people and into your ovens and into your kneading troughs. 4 And the frogs will go up against you and against your people and against all of your servants.’”
5 And Yahweh said to Moses, “Say to Aaron, ‘Stretch out your hand with your staff over the rivers, over the canals, and over the pools, and bring up the frogs on the land of Egypt.’” 6 And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt, and the frogs went up and covered the land of Egypt. 7 And the magicians did likewise with their secret arts, and they brought up frogs over the land of Egypt.
8 And Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron and said, “Pray to Yahweh, and let him remove the frogs from me and from my people, and let me release the people so that they can sacrifice to Yahweh.” 9 And Moses said to Pharaoh, “I leave to you the honor[c] over me. When shall I pray for you and for your servants and for your people to cut off the frogs from you and from your houses? They will be left only in the Nile.” 10 And he said, “Tomorrow.” And he said, “Let it be according to your word so that you will know that there is no one like Yahweh our God. 11 And the frogs will depart from you and from your house and from your servants. They will be left only in the Nile.”
12 And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh, and Moses cried out to Yahweh over the matter of the frogs that he had brought on Pharaoh. 13 And Yahweh did according to the word of Moses, and the frogs died from the houses, from the courtyards, and from the fields. 14 And they piled them in countless heaps,[d] and the land stank. 15 And Pharaoh saw that there was relief, and he made his heart insensitive,[e] and he did not listen to them, as Yahweh had spoken.
Plague Three: Gnats
16 And Yahweh said to Moses, “Say to Aaron, ‘Stretch out your staff and strike the dust of the land, and it will become gnats[f] in all the land of Egypt.’” 17 And he did so, and Aaron stretched out his hand with his staff, and he struck the dust of the land, and it became gnats on the humans and on the animals; all of the dust of the land became gnats in all the land of Egypt. 18 And the magicians did so with their secret arts to bring out the gnats, but they were not able, and the gnats were on the humans and on the animals. 19 And the magicians said to Pharaoh, “It is the finger of God.” But the heart of Pharaoh was hard, and he did not listen to them, as Yahweh had spoken.
Plague Four: Flies
20 And Yahweh said to Moses, “Start early in the morning and stand before Pharaoh. Look, he is going out to the water, and you must say to him, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “Release my people so that they may serve me.” 21 But if you are not about to release my people, look, I am about to send out flies among you and among your servants and among your people and in your houses; and the houses of Egypt will fill up with the flies and also the ground that they are on. 22 But on that day I will distinguish[g] the land of Goshen, where my people are staying, by there not being flies there, so that you will know that I am Yahweh in the midst of the land. 23 And I will put a distinction between my people and your people; this sign will be tomorrow.’”
24 And Yahweh did so, and a severe[h] swarm of flies came to the house of Pharaoh and the house of his servants and in all the land of Egypt; the land was ruined because of the flies. 25 And Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron, and he said, “Go, sacrifice to your God in the land.” 26 And Moses said, “To do so is not right, because we will sacrifice to Yahweh our God a thing detestable to the Egyptians. Look, if we sacrifice before their eyes the thing detestable to the Egyptians, will they not stone us? 27 We will go a journey of three days into the desert, and we will sacrifice to Yahweh our God according to what he says to us.”
28 And Pharaoh said, “I myself will release you, and you will sacrifice to Yahweh your God in the desert. Only surely you must not go far. Pray for me.” 29 And Moses said, “Look, I am going out from you, and I will pray to Yahweh so that the flies depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people tomorrow. Only let not Pharaoh again deceive us by not releasing the people to sacrifice to Yahweh.”
30 And Moses went out from Pharaoh and prayed to Yahweh. 31 And Yahweh did according to the word of Moses and removed the flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people; not one was left. 32 And Pharaoh made his heart insensitive[i] also this time, and he did not release the people.

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.
