Exodus 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.

Derpå sagde HERREN til Moses: "Gå til Farao og sig til ham: Så siger HERREN: Lad mit Folk rejse, for at de kan dyrke mig!

And if thou refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs:

Men hvis du vægrer dig ved at lade dem rejse, se, da vil jeg plage hele dit Land med Frøer;

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:

Nilen skal vrimle af Frøer, og de skal kravle op og trænge ind i dit Hus og dit Sovekammer og på dit Leje og i dine Tjeneres og dit Folks Huse, i dine Bagerovne og dine Dejgtruge;

And the frogs shall come up both on thee, and upon thy people, and upon all thy servants.

ja på dig selv og dit Folk og alle dine Tjenere skal Frøerne kravle op."

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.

Da sagde HERREN til Moses: "Sig til Aron: Ræk din Hånd med Staven ud over Floderne, Kanalerne og Dammene og få Frøerne til at kravle op over Ægypten!"

And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt.

Og Aron rakte sin Hånd ud over Ægyptens Vande. Da kravlede Frøerne op og fyldte Ægypten.

And the magicians did so with their enchantments, and brought up frogs upon the land of Egypt.

Men Koglerne gjorde det samme ved Hjælp af deres hemmelige Kunster og fik Frøerne til at kravle op over Ægypten.

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.

Da lod Farao Moses og Aron kalde og sagde: "Gå i Forbøn hos HERREN, at han skiller mig og mit Folk af med Frøerne, så vil jeg lade Folket rejse, at de kan ofre til HERREN."

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?

Moses svarede Farao: "Du behøver kun at befale over mig! Til hvilken Tid skal jeg gå i Forbøn for dig, dine Tjenere og dit Folk om at få Frøerne bort fra dig og dine Huse, så de kun bliver tilbage i Nilen?"

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.

Han svarede: "I Morgen!" Da sagde han: "Det skal ske, som du siger, for at du kan kende, at der ingen er som HERREN vor Gud;

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.

Frøerne skal vige bort fra dig, dine Huse, dine Tjenere og dit Folk; kun i Nilen skal de blive tilbage."

And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh: and Moses cried unto the LORD because of the frogs which he had brought against Pharaoh.

Moses og Aron gik nu bort fra Farao, og Moses råbte til HERREN om at bortrydde Frøerne, som han havde sendt over Farao;

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.

og HERREN gjorde, som Moses bad: Frøerne døde i Husene, i Gårdene og på Markerne,

And they gathered them together upon heaps: and the land stank.

og man samlede dem sammen i Dynger, så Landet kom til at stinke deraf.

But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite, he hardened his heart, and hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said.

Men da Farao så, at han havde fået Luft, forhærdede han sit Hjerte og hørte ikke på dem, således som HERREN havde sagt.

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.

Derpå sagde HERREN til Moses: "Sig til Aron: Ræk din Stav ud og slå Støvet på Jorden med den, så skal det blive til Myg i hele Ægypten!"

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.

Og de gjorde således; Aron udrakte sin Hånd med Staven og slog Støvet på Jorden dermed. Da kom der Myg over Mennesker og Dyr; alt Støvet på Jorden blev til Myg i hele Ægypten.

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.

Koglerne søgte nu også ved Hjælp af deres hemmelige Kunster at fremkalde Myg, men de magtede det ikke. Og Myggene kom over Mennesker og Dyr.

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.

Da sagde Koglerne til Farao: "Det er Guds Finger!" Men Faraos Hjerte blev forhærdet, så han ikke hørte på dem, således som HERREN havde sagt.

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.

Derpå sagde HERREN til Moses: "Træd i Morgen tidlig frem for Farao, når han begiver sig ned til Vandet, og sig til ham: Så siger HERREN: Lad mit Folk rejse, for at de kan dyrke mig!

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.

Men hvis du ikke lader mit Folk rejse, se, da sender jeg Bremser over dig, dine Tjenere, dit Folk og dine Huse, og Ægypternes Huse skal blive fulde af Bremser, ja endog Jorden, de bor på;

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.

men med Gosens Land, hvor mit Folk bor, vil jeg til den Tid gøre en Undtagelse, så der ingen Bremser kommer, for at du kan kende, at jeg HERREN er i Landet;

And I will put a division between my people and thy people: to morrow shall this sign be.

og jeg vil sætte Skel mellem mit Folk og dit Folk; i Morgen skal dette Tegn ske!"

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.

Og HERREN gjorde således: Vældige Bremsesværme trængte ind i Faraos og hans Tjeneres Huse og i hele Ægypten, og Landet hærgedes af Bremserne.

And Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, Go ye, sacrifice to your God in the land.

Da lod Farao Moses og Aron kalde og sagde: "Gå hen og bring eders Gud et Offer her i Landet!"

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?

Men Moses sagde: "Det går ikke an at gøre således, thi til HERREN vor Gud ofrer vi, hvad der er Ægypterne en Vederstyggelighed; og når vi for Øjnene af Ægypterne ofrer, hvad der er dem en Vederstyggelighed, mon de da ikke stener os?

We will go three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to the LORD our God, as he shall command us.

Lad os drage tre Dagsrejser ud i Ørkenen og ofre til HERREN vor Gud, således som han har pålagt os!"

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.

Farao sagde: "Jeg vil lade eder rejse hen og ofre til HERREN eders Gud i Ørkenen; kun må I ikke rejse for langt bort; men gå i Forbøn for mig!"

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.

Moses svarede: "Se, så snart jeg kommer ud herfra, skal jeg gå i Forbøn hos HERREN, og Bremserne skal vige bort fra Farao, hans Tjenere og hans Folk i Morgen. Blot Farao så ikke igen narrer os og nægter at lade Folket rejse hen og ofre til HERREN!"

And Moses went out from Pharaoh, and intreated the LORD.

Derpå gik Moses bort fra Farao og gik i Forbøn hos HERREN.

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.

Og HERREN gjorde, som Moses bad, og Bremserne veg bort fra Farao, hans Tjenere og hans Folk; der blev ikke en eneste tilbage.

And Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also, neither would he let the people go.

Men Farao forhærdede også denne Gang sit Hjerte og lod ikke Folket rejse.
