Êxodo 8

1Então o SENHOR disse a Moisés: Entra à presença de Faraó, e dize-lhe: O SENHOR disse assim: Deixa meu povo ir, para que me sirvam. 2E se não o quiseres deixar ir, eis que ferirei com rãs todo os teu território; 3E o rio criará rãs, que subirão, e entrarão em tua casa, e no teu quarto, e sobre tua cama, e nas casas de teus servos, e em teu povo, e em teus fornos, e em tuas amassadeiras; 4E as rãs subirão sobre ti, e sobre teu povo, e sobre todos os teus servos. 5E o SENHOR disse a Moisés: Dize a Arão: Estende tua mão com tua vara sobre os rios, ribeiros, e tanques, para que faça vir rãs sobre a terra do Egito. 6Então Arão estendeu sua mão sobre as águas do Egito, e subiram rãs que cobriram a terra do Egito. 7E os encantadores fizeram o mesmo com seus encantamentos, e fizeram vir rãs sobre a terra do Egito. 8Então Faraó chamou Moisés e Arão, e disse-lhes: Orai ao SENHOR que tire as rãs de mim e de meu povo; e deixarei ir ao povo, para que sacrifique ao SENHOR. 9E disse Moisés a Faraó: Tem a honra em meu lugar de dizer quando orarei por ti, e por teus servos, e por teu povo, para que as rãs sejam tiradas de ti, e de tuas casas, e que somente se restem no rio. 10E ele disse: Amanhã. E Moisés respondeu: Será feito conforme tua palavra, para que conheças que não há ninguém como o SENHOR nosso Deus; 11E as rãs se irão de ti, e de tuas casas, e de teus servos, e de teu povo, e somente se ficarão no rio. 12Então saíram Moisés e Arão da presença de Faraó, e clamou Moisés ao SENHOR acerca das rãs que havia posto a Faraó. 13E o SENHOR fez conforme a palavra de Moisés, e morreram as rãs das casas, dos pátios, e dos campos. 14E as juntaram em amontoados, e faziam cheirar mal a terra. 15E vendo Faraó que lhe haviam dado repouso, agravou seu coração, e não os escutou; como o SENHOR o havia dito. 16Então o SENHOR disse a Moisés: Dize a Arão: Estende tua vara, e fere o pó da terra, para que se voltem piolhos por todo o país do Egito. 17E eles o fizeram assim; e Arão estendeu sua mão com sua vara, e feriu o pó da terra, o qual se tornou piolhos, tanto nos homens como nos animais: todo o pó da terra se tornou piolhos ao todo o país do Egito. 18E os encantadores tentaram fizeram assim também, para tirar piolhos com seus encantamentos; mas não puderam. E havia piolhos tanto nos homens como nos animais. 19Então os magos disseram a Faraó: Dedo de Deus é este. Mas o coração de Faraó se endureceu, e não os escutou; como o SENHOR o havia dito. 20E o SENHOR disse a Moisés: Levanta-te de manhã e põe-te diante de Faraó, eis que ele estará saindo às águas; e dize-lhe: o SENHOR disse assim: Deixa meu povo ir, para que me sirva. 21Porque se não deixares meu povo ir, eis que enviarei sobre ti, e sobre teus servos, e sobre teu povo, e sobre tuas casas toda variedade de moscas; e as casas dos egípcios se encherão de toda variedade de moscas, e também a terra onde eles estiverem. 22E naquele dia separarei a terra de Gósen, na qual meu povo habita, para que nenhuma variedade de moscas haja nela; a fim de que saibas que eu sou o SENHOR no meio da terra. 23E eu porei remissão entre meu povo e o teu. Amanhã será este sinal. 24E o SENHOR o fez assim: veio toda variedade de moscas incômodas sobre a casa de Faraó, e sobre as casas de seus servos, e sobre todo o país do Egito; e a terra foi contaminada por causa delas. 25Então Faraó chamou a Moisés e a Arão, e disse-lhes: Andai, sacrificai a vosso Deus nesta terra. 26E Moisés respondeu: Não convém que façamos assim, porque sacrificaríamos ao SENHOR nosso Deus a abominação dos egípcios. Eis que, se sacrificássemos a abominação dos egípcios diante deles, não nos apedrejariam? 27Caminho de três dias iremos pelo deserto, e sacrificaremos ao SENHOR nosso Deus, como ele nos dirá. 28E disse Faraó: Eu vos deixarei ir para que sacrifiqueis ao SENHOR vosso Deus no deserto, contanto que não vades mais longe; orai por mim. 29E respondeu Moisés: Eis que, quando eu sair de tua presença, rogarei ao SENHOR que as diversas variedades de moscas se afastem de Faraó, e de seus servos, e de seu povo amanhã; contanto que Faraó não falte mais, não deixando o povo ir sacrificar ao SENHOR. 30Então Moisés saiu da presença de Faraó, e orou ao SENHOR. 31E o SENHOR fez conforme a palavra de Moisés; e tirou todas aquelas moscas de Faraó, e de seus servos, e de seu povo, sem que restasse uma. 32Mas Faraó agravou ainda esta vez seu coração, e não deixou o povo ir.

1Yahweh spoke to Moses, Go in to Pharaoh, and tell him, “This is what Yahweh says, ‘Let my people go, that they may serve me. 2If you refuse to let them go, behold, I will plague all your borders with frogs: 3and the river shall swarm with frogs, which shall go up and come into your house, and into your bedroom, and on your bed, and into the house of your servants, and on your people, and into your ovens, and into your kneading troughs: 4and the frogs shall come up both on you, and on your people, and on all your servants.’” 5Yahweh said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Stretch out your hand with your rod over the rivers, over the streams, and over the pools, and cause frogs to come up on the land of Egypt.’” 6Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt. 7The magicians did the same thing with their enchantments, and brought up frogs on the land of Egypt. 8Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, “Entreat Yahweh, that he take away the frogs from me, and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may sacrifice to Yahweh.” 9Moses said to Pharaoh, “I give you the honor of setting the time that I should pray for you, and for your servants, and for your people, that the frogs be destroyed from you and your houses, and remain in the river only.” 10He said, “Tomorrow.” He said, “Be it according to your word, that you may know that there is no one like Yahweh our God. 11The frogs shall depart from you, and from your houses, and from your servants, and from your people. They shall remain in the river only.” 12Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh, and Moses cried to Yahweh concerning the frogs which he had brought on Pharaoh. 13Yahweh did according to the word of Moses, and the frogs died out of the houses, out of the courts, and out of the fields. 14They gathered them together in heaps, and the land stank. 15But when Pharaoh saw that there was a respite, he hardened his heart, and didn’t listen to them, as Yahweh had spoken. 16Yahweh said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Stretch out your rod, and strike the dust of the earth, that it may become lice throughout all the land of Egypt.’” 17They did so; and Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and struck the dust of the earth, and there were lice on man, and on animal; all the dust of the earth became lice throughout all the land of Egypt. 18The magicians tried with their enchantments to produce lice, but they couldn’t. There were lice on man, and on animal. 19Then the magicians said to Pharaoh, “This is the finger of God:” and Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he didn’t listen to them; as Yahweh had spoken. 20Yahweh said to Moses, “Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh; behold, he comes out to the water; and tell him, ‘This is what Yahweh says, “Let my people go, that they may serve me. 21Else, if you will not let my people go, behold, I will send swarms of flies on you, and on your servants, and on your people, and into your houses: and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of flies, and also the ground whereon they are. 22I 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 you may know that I am Yahweh in the midst of the earth. 23I will put a division between my people and your people: by tomorrow shall this sign be.”’” 24Yahweh 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 corrupted by reason of the swarms of flies. 25Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, “Go, sacrifice to your God in the land!” 26Moses said, “It isn’t appropriate to do so; for we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to Yahweh our God. Behold, shall we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, and won’t they stone us? 27We will go three days’ journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to Yahweh our God, as he shall command us.” 28Pharaoh said, “I will let you go, that you may sacrifice to Yahweh your God in the wilderness, only you shall not go very far away. Pray for me.” 29Moses said, “Behold, I go out from you, and I will pray to Yahweh that the swarms of flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people, tomorrow; only don’t let Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to Yahweh.” 30Moses went out from Pharaoh, and prayed to Yahweh. 31Yahweh 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. 32Pharaoh hardened his heart this time also, and he didn’t let the people go.

1Daarna zeide de HEERE tot Mozes: Ga in tot Farao, en zeg tot hem: Zo zegt de HEERE: Laat Mijn volk trekken, dat zij Mij dienen. 2En indien gij het weigert te laten trekken, zie, zo zal Ik uw ganse landpale met vorsen slaan; 3Dat de rivier van vorsen zal krielen, die zullen opkomen, en in uw huis komen, en in uw slaapkamer, ja, op uw bed; ook in de huizen uwer knechten, en op uw volk, en in uw bakovens, en in uw baktroggen. 4En de vorsen zullen opkomen, op u, en op uw volk, en op al uw knechten. 5Verder zeide de HEERE tot Mozes: Zeg tot Aaron: Strek uw hand uit met uw staf, over de stromen, en over de rivieren, en over de poelen; en doe vorsen opkomen over Egypteland. 6En Aaron strekte zijn hand uit over de wateren van Egypte, en er kwamen vorsen op en bedekten Egypteland. 7Toen deden de tovenaars ook alzo, met hun bezweringen; en zij deden vorsen over Egypteland opkomen. 8En Farao riep Mozes en Aaron, en zeide: Bidt vuriglijk tot den HEERE, dat Hij de vorsen van mij en van mijn volk wegneme; zo zal ik het volk trekken laten, dat zij den HEERE offeren. 9Doch Mozes zeide tot Farao: Heb de eer boven mij! Tegen wanneer zal ik voor u, en voor uw knechten, en voor uw volk, vuriglijk bidden, om deze vorsen van u en van uw huizen te verdelgen, dat zij alleen in de rivier overblijven? 10Hij dan zeide: Tegen morgen. En hij zeide: Het zij naar uw woord, opdat gij weet, dat er niemand is, gelijk de HEERE, onze God. 11Zo zullen de vorsen van u, en van uw huizen, en van uw knechten, en van uw volk wijken; zij zullen alleen in de rivier overblijven. 12Toen ging Mozes en Aaron uit van Farao; en Mozes riep tot den HEERE, ter oorzake der vorsen, die Hij Farao had opgelegd. 13En de HEERE deed naar het woord van Mozes; en de vorsen stierven, uit de huizen, uit de voorzalen, en uit de velden. 14En zij vergaderden ze samen bij hopen, en het land stonk. 15Toen nu Farao zag, dat er verademing was, verzwaarde hij zijn hart, dat hij naar hen niet hoorde, gelijk als de HEERE gesproken had. 16Verder zeide de HEERE tot Mozes: Zeg tot Aaron: Strek uw staf uit, en sla het stof der aarde, dat het tot luizen worde, in het ganse Egypteland. 17En zij deden alzo; want Aaron strekte zijn hand uit met zijn staf, en sloeg het stof der aarde, en er werden vele luizen aan de mensen, en aan het vee; al het stof der aarde werd luizen, in het ganse Egypteland. 18De tovenaars deden ook alzo met hun bezweringen, opdat zij luizen voortbrachten; doch zij konden niet; zo waren de luizen aan de mensen, en aan het vee. 19Toen zeiden de tovenaars tot Farao: Dit is Gods vinger! Doch Farao's hart verstijfde, zodat hij naar hen niet hoorde, gelijk de HEERE gesproken had. 20Verder zeide de HEERE tot Mozes: Maak u morgen vroeg op, en stel u voor Farao's aangezicht; zie, hij zal aan het water uitgaan, en zeg tot hem: Zo zegt de HEERE: Laat Mijn volk trekken, dat zij Mij dienen; 21Want zo gij Mijn volk niet laat trekken, zie, zo zal Ik een vermenging van ongedierte zenden op u, en op uw knechten, en op uw volk, en in uw huizen; alzo dat de huizen der Egyptenaren met deze vermenging zullen vervuld worden, en ook het aardrijk, waarop zij zijn. 22En Ik zal te dien dage het land Gosen, waarin Mijn volk woont, afzonderen, dat daar geen vermenging van ongedierte zij, opdat gij weet, dat Ik, de HEERE, in het midden dezes lands ben. 23En Ik zal een verlossing zetten tussen Mijn volk en tussen uw volk; tegen morgen zal dit teken geschieden! 24En de HEERE deed alzo; en er kwam een zware vermenging van ongedierte in het huis van Farao, en in de huizen van zijn knechten, en over het ganse Egypteland; het land werd verdorven van deze vermenging. 25Toen riep Farao Mozes en Aaron, en zeide: Gaat heen, en offert uwen God in dit land. 26Mozes dan zeide: Het is niet recht, dat men alzo doe; want wij zouden der Egyptenaren gruwel den HEERE, onzen God, mogen offeren; zie, indien wij der Egyptenaren gruwel voor hun ogen offerden, zouden zij ons niet stenigen? 27Laat ons den weg van drie dagen in de woestijn gaan, dat wij den HEERE onzen God offeren, gelijk Hij tot ons zeggen zal. 28Toen zeide Farao: Ik zal u trekken laten, dat gijlieden den HEERE, uwen God, offert in de woestijn; alleen, dat gijlieden in het gaan geenszins te verre trekt! Bidt vuriglijk voor mij. 29Mozes nu zeide: Zie, ik ga van u, en zal tot den HEERE vuriglijk bidden, dat deze vermenging van ongedierte van Farao, van zijn knechten, en van zijn volk morgen wegwijke! Alleen, dat Farao niet meer bedriegelijk handele, dit volk niet latende gaan, om den HEERE te offeren. 30Toen ging Mozes uit van Farao, en bad vuriglijk tot den HEERE. 31En de HEERE deed naar het woord van Mozes, en de vermenging van ongedierte week van Farao, van zijn knechten, en van zijn volk; er bleef niet een over. 32Doch Farao verzwaarde zijn hart ook op ditmaal, en hij liet het volk niet trekken.
