Exodus 8
New International Version
8 1 [a]Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh and say to him, ‘This is what the Lord says: Let my people go, so that they may worship(A) me. 2 If you refuse to let them go, I will send a plague of frogs(B) on your whole country. 3 The Nile will teem with frogs. They will come up into your palace and your bedroom and onto your bed, into the houses of your officials and on your people,(C) and into your ovens and kneading troughs.(D) 4 The frogs will come up on you and your people and all your officials.’”
5 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Stretch out your hand with your staff(E) over the streams and canals and ponds, and make frogs(F) come up on the land of Egypt.’”
6 So Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt, and the frogs(G) came up and covered the land. 7 But the magicians did the same things by their secret arts;(H) they also made frogs come up on the land of Egypt.
8 Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “Pray(I) to the Lord to take the frogs away from me and my people, and I will let your people go to offer sacrifices(J) to the Lord.”
9 Moses said to Pharaoh, “I leave to you the honor of setting the time(K) for me to pray for you and your officials and your people that you and your houses may be rid of the frogs, except for those that remain in the Nile.”
10 “Tomorrow,” Pharaoh said.
Moses replied, “It will be as you say, so that you may know there is no one like the Lord our God.(L) 11 The frogs will leave you and your houses, your officials and your people; they will remain only in the Nile.”
12 After Moses and Aaron left Pharaoh, Moses cried out to the Lord about the frogs he had brought on Pharaoh. 13 And the Lord did what Moses asked.(M) The frogs died in the houses, in the courtyards and in the fields. 14 They were piled into heaps, and the land reeked of them. 15 But when Pharaoh saw that there was relief,(N) he hardened his heart(O) and would not listen to Moses and Aaron, just as the Lord had said.
The Plague of Gnats
16 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Stretch out your staff(P) and strike the dust of the ground,’ and throughout the land of Egypt the dust will become gnats.” 17 They did this, and when Aaron stretched out his hand with the staff and struck the dust of the ground, gnats(Q) came on people and animals. All the dust throughout the land of Egypt became gnats. 18 But when the magicians(R) tried to produce gnats by their secret arts,(S) they could not.
Since the gnats were on people and animals everywhere, 19 the magicians said to Pharaoh, “This is the finger(T) of God.” But Pharaoh’s heart(U) was hard and he would not listen,(V) just as the Lord had said.
The Plague of Flies
20 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Get up early in the morning(W) and confront Pharaoh as he goes to the river and say to him, ‘This is what the Lord says: Let my people go, so that they may worship(X) me. 21 If you do not let my people go, I will send swarms of flies on you and your officials, on your people and into your houses. The houses of the Egyptians will be full of flies; even the ground will be covered with them.
22 “‘But on that day I will deal differently with the land of Goshen,(Y) where my people live;(Z) no swarms of flies will be there, so that you will know(AA) that I, the Lord, am in this land. 23 I will make a distinction[b] between my people and your people.(AB) This sign will occur tomorrow.’”
24 And the Lord did this. Dense swarms of flies poured into Pharaoh’s palace and into the houses of his officials; throughout Egypt the land was ruined by the flies.(AC)
25 Then Pharaoh summoned(AD) Moses and Aaron and said, “Go, sacrifice to your God here in the land.”
26 But Moses said, “That would not be right. The sacrifices we offer the Lord our God would be detestable to the Egyptians.(AE) And if we offer sacrifices that are detestable in their eyes, will they not stone us? 27 We must take a three-day journey(AF) into the wilderness to offer sacrifices(AG) to the Lord our God, as he commands us.”
28 Pharaoh said, “I will let you go to offer sacrifices to the Lord your God in the wilderness, but you must not go very far. Now pray(AH) for me.”
29 Moses answered, “As soon as I leave you, I will pray to the Lord, and tomorrow the flies will leave Pharaoh and his officials and his people. Only let Pharaoh be sure that he does not act deceitfully(AI) again by not letting the people go to offer sacrifices to the Lord.”
30 Then Moses left Pharaoh and prayed to the Lord,(AJ) 31 and the Lord did what Moses asked. The flies left Pharaoh and his officials and his people; not a fly remained. 32 But this time also Pharaoh hardened his heart(AK) and would not let the people go.

A doua urgie: broaştele
8 Domnul i-a zis lui Moise: „Du-te la Faraon şi spune-i: «Aşa vorbeşte Domnul: ‘Lasă-Mi poporul să plece ca să Mi se închine. 2 Dacă nu-l vei lăsa să plece, voi lovi toată ţara ta cu broaşte. 3 Râul va fi plin de broaşte; ele vor intra în palatul tău, în dormitorul tău, în patul tău, în casele slujitorilor tăi, ale poporului tău, în cuptoare şi în vasele de frământat. 4 Broaştele se vor sui pe tine, pe poporul tău şi pe toţi slujitorii tăi.’»“ 5 Domnul i-a mai zis lui Moise: „Spune-i lui Aaron să-şi întindă mâna cu toiagul peste râuri, canale şi iazuri, ca broaştele să iasă în ţara Egiptului.“ 6 Aaron şi-a întins mâna peste apele Egiptului, iar broaştele au ieşit şi au acoperit ţara Egiptului. 7 Dar vrăjitorii au făcut şi ei la fel prin vrăjitoriile lor şi au adus broaşte în Egipt. 8 După aceea Faraon i-a chemat pe Moise şi pe Aaron şi le-a zis:
– Rugaţi-vă Domnului să ia broaştele de pe mine şi de pe poporul meu şi voi lăsa poporul să plece ca să-I aducă jertfe Domnului.
9 Moise i-a răspuns lui Faraon:
– Îţi las cinstea să hotărăşti[a] când să mă rog pentru tine, pentru slujitorii tăi şi pentru poporul tău, ca broaştele să fie luate de pe tine şi din casele tale şi să rămână doar în Nil.
10 – Mâine! i-a zis el.
– Fie aşa cum spui – i-a răspuns Moise – ca să ştii că nu este nimeni ca Domnul, Dumnezeul nostru. 11 Broaştele se vor depărta de la tine, din casele tale, de la slujitorii tăi şi de la poporul tău; ele vor rămâne doar în Nil.
12 Moise şi Aaron au ieşit de la Faraon şi Moise a strigat către Domnul cu privire la broaştele pe care le-a adus peste Faraon. 13 Domnul a făcut aşa cum I-a cerut Moise: broaştele au murit în case, în curţi şi pe câmpuri. 14 Ei le-au adunat grămezi şi ţara s-a împuţit. 15 Când Faraon a văzut că are răgaz, şi-a împietrit inima, după cum spusese Domnul, şi nu i-a ascultat.
A treia urgie: ţânţarii
16 Apoi Domnul i-a zis lui Moise: „Spune-i lui Aaron: «Întinde-ţi toiagul şi loveşte praful pământului ca el să se prefacă în ţânţari în toată ţara Egiptului.»“ 17 Ei au făcut întocmai: Aaron şi-a întins mâna cu toiagul, a lovit praful pământului şi au venit ţânţari peste oameni şi peste animale; în toată ţara Egiptului praful pământului s-a transformat în ţânţari. 18 Vrăjitorii au încercat să facă şi ei ţânţari prin vrăjitoriile lor, dar n-au putut. Ţânţarii se aflau pretutindeni, pe oameni şi pe animale. 19 Atunci vrăjitorii i-au zis lui Faraon: „Acesta este degetul lui Dumnezeu!“ Dar inima lui Faraon era împietrită şi nu i-a ascultat, după cum spusese Domnul.
A patra urgie: muştele
20 După aceea, Domnul i-a zis lui Moise: „Scoală-te dis-de-dimineaţă, du-te înaintea lui Faraon, când el se va duce la apă, şi spune-i: «Aşa vorbeşte Domnul: ‘Lasă-Mi poporul să plece ca să Mi se închine. 21 Dacă nu-Mi vei lăsa poporul să plece, voi trimite roiuri de muşte peste tine, peste slujitorii tăi, peste poporul tău şi în casele tale: atât casele egiptenilor, cât şi ţara în care locuiesc se vor umple de roiuri de muşte. 22 Dar în ziua aceea voi proteja ţinutul Goşen[b], unde locuieşte poporul Meu, iar roiurile de muşte nu vor ajunge acolo, ca să recunoşti că Eu sunt Domnul în această ţară. 23 Astfel, voi face o deosebire[c] între poporul Meu şi poporul tău. Semnul acesta ţi se va arăta mâine.’»“ 24 Domnul a făcut întocmai şi roiurile de muşte au venit în palatul lui Faraon şi în casele slujitorilor săi; toată ţara Egiptului a fost pustiită din cauza muştelor. 25 Atunci Faraon i-a chemat pe Moise şi pe Aaron şi le-a zis:
– Duceţi-vă şi aduceţi jertfe Dumnezeului vostru în ţară.
26 – Nu este bine să facem astfel, i-a răspuns Moise, pentru că jertfele pe care le aducem Domnului, Dumnezeul nostru, sunt privite drept urâciuni de către egipteni. Dacă aducem înaintea egiptenilor jertfe care pentru ei sunt o urâciune, nu ne vor omorî ei cu pietre? 27 Va trebui să facem o călătorie de trei zile în pustie şi acolo să aducem jertfe Domnului, Dumnezeul nostru, aşa cum ne-a poruncit.
28 Faraon a zis:
– Vă voi lăsa să plecaţi ca să aduceţi jertfe Domnului, Dumnezeul vostru, în pustie, doar dacă nu veţi merge prea departe. Deocamdată, rugaţi-vă pentru mine.
29 – Imediat ce ies de la tine, i-a răspuns Moise, mă voi ruga Domnului ca mâine să îndepărteze roiurile de muşte de la Faraon şi de la poporul său. Numai să înceteze Faraon să se mai poarte cu viclenie şi să nu lase poporul să plece ca să aducă jertfe Domnului!
30 Moise a ieşit de la Faraon şi s-a rugat Domnului. 31 Domnul a făcut aşa cum I-a cerut Moise: a îndepărtat roiurile de muşte de la Faraon, de la slujitorii săi şi din poporul său; n-a rămas nici măcar una. 32 Însă şi de data aceasta Faraon şi-a împietrit inima şi nu a lăsat poporul să plece.

The Second Plague: Frogs
8 And the Lord spoke to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh and say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord: “Let My people go, (A)that they may serve Me. 2 But if you (B)refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all your territory with (C)frogs. 3 So the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly, which shall go up and come into your house, into your (D)bedroom, on your bed, into the houses of your servants, on your people, into your ovens, and into your kneading bowls. 4 And the frogs shall come up on you, on your people, and on all your servants.” ’ ”
5 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, “Say to Aaron, (E)‘Stretch out your hand with your rod over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and cause frogs to come up on the land of Egypt.’ ” 6 So Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt, and (F)the frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt. 7 (G)And the magicians did so with their [a]enchantments, and brought up frogs on the land of Egypt.
8 Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, (H)“Entreat[b] the Lord that He may take away the frogs from me and from my people; and I will let the people (I)go, that they may sacrifice to the Lord.”
9 And Moses said to Pharaoh, “Accept the honor of saying when I shall intercede for you, for your servants, and for your people, to destroy the frogs from you and your houses, that they may remain in the river only.”
10 So he said, “Tomorrow.” And he said, “Let it be according to your word, that you may know that (J)there is no one like the Lord our God. 11 And the frogs shall depart from you, from your houses, from your servants, and from your people. They shall remain in the river only.”
12 Then Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh. And Moses (K)cried out to the Lord concerning the frogs which He had brought against Pharaoh. 13 So the Lord did according to the word of Moses. And the frogs died out of the houses, out of the courtyards, and out of the fields. 14 They gathered them together in heaps, and the land stank. 15 But when Pharaoh saw that there was (L)relief, (M)he hardened his heart and did not heed them, as the Lord had said.
The Third Plague: Lice
16 So the Lord said to Moses, “Say to Aaron, ‘Stretch out your rod, and strike the dust of the land, so that it may become [c]lice throughout all the land of Egypt.’ ” 17 And they did so. For Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod and struck the dust of the earth, and (N)it became lice on man and beast. All the dust of the land became lice throughout all the land of Egypt.
18 Now (O)the magicians so worked with their [d]enchantments to bring forth lice, but they (P)could not. So there were lice on man and beast. 19 Then the magicians said to Pharaoh, “This is (Q)the[e] finger of God.” But Pharaoh’s (R)heart grew hard, and he did not heed them, just as the Lord had said.
The Fourth Plague: Flies
20 And the Lord said to Moses, (S)“Rise early in the morning and stand before Pharaoh as he comes out to the water. Then say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord: (T)“Let My people go, that they may serve Me. 21 Or else, if you will not let My people go, behold, I will send swarms of flies on you and your servants, on your people and into your houses. The houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of flies, and also the ground on which they stand. 22 And in that day (U)I will set apart the land of (V)Goshen, in which My people dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there, in order that you may (W)know that I am the Lord in the midst of the (X)land. 23 I will [f]make a difference between My people and your people. Tomorrow this (Y)sign shall be.” ’ ” 24 And the Lord did so. (Z)Thick swarms of flies came into the house of Pharaoh, into his servants’ houses, and into all the land of Egypt. The land was corrupted because of the swarms of flies.
25 Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, “Go, sacrifice to your God in the land.”
26 And Moses said, “It is not right to do so, for we would be sacrificing (AA)the abomination of the Egyptians to the Lord our God. If we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, then will they not [g]stone us? 27 We will go (AB)three days’ journey into the wilderness and sacrifice to the Lord our God as (AC)He will command us.”
28 So Pharaoh said, “I will let you go, that you may sacrifice to the Lord your God in the wilderness; only you shall not go very far away. (AD)Intercede for me.”
29 Then Moses said, “Indeed I am going out from you, and I will entreat the Lord, that the swarms of flies may depart tomorrow from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people. But let Pharaoh not (AE)deal deceitfully anymore in not letting the people go to sacrifice to the Lord.”
30 So Moses went out from Pharaoh and (AF)entreated the Lord. 31 And the Lord did according to the word of Moses; He removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people. Not one remained. 32 But Pharaoh (AG)hardened his heart at this time also; neither would he let the people go.

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.
