1 ειπεν δε κυριος προς μωυσην ειπον ααρων τω αδελφω σου εκτεινον τη χειρι την ραβδον σου επι τους ποταμους και επι τας διωρυγας και επι τα ελη και αναγαγε τους βατραχους1 The Lord also said to Moses: “Enter to Pharaoh, and you will say to him: ‘Thus says the Lord: Release my people in order to sacrifice to me.
2 και εξετεινεν ααρων την χειρα επι τα υδατα αιγυπτου και ανηγαγεν τους βατραχους και ανεβιβασθη ο βατραχος και εκαλυψεν την γην αιγυπτου2 But if you are not willing to release them, behold, I will strike all your coasts with frogs.
3 εποιησαν δε ωσαυτως και οι επαοιδοι των αιγυπτιων ταις φαρμακειαις αυτων και ανηγαγον τους βατραχους επι γην αιγυπτου3 And the river will seethe with frogs, which will go up and enter into your house, and your bedroom, and upon your bed, and into the houses of your servants and your people, and into your ovens, and into the remains of your foods.
4 και εκαλεσεν φαραω μωυσην και ααρων και ειπεν ευξασθε περι εμου προς κυριον και περιελετω τους βατραχους απ' εμου και απο του εμου λαου και εξαποστελω τον λαον και θυσωσιν κυριω4 And to you, and to your people, and to all your servants, the frogs will enter.’ ”
5 ειπεν δε μωυσης προς φαραω ταξαι προς με ποτε ευξωμαι περι σου και περι των θεραποντων σου και περι του λαου σου αφανισαι τους βατραχους απο σου και απο του λαου σου και εκ των οικιων υμων πλην εν τω ποταμω υπολειφθησονται5 And the Lord said to Moses: “Say to Aaron: ‘Extend your hand over the rivers, and also over the streams and the marshes, and bring forth frogs over the land of Egypt.’ ”
6 ο δε ειπεν εις αυριον ειπεν ουν ως ειρηκας ινα ειδης οτι ουκ εστιν αλλος πλην κυριου6 And Aaron extended his hand over the waters of Egypt, and the frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt.
7 και περιαιρεθησονται οι βατραχοι απο σου και εκ των οικιων υμων και εκ των επαυλεων και απο των θεραποντων σου και απο του λαου σου πλην εν τω ποταμω υπολειφθησονται7 Then the sorcerers also, by their incantations, did similarly, and they brought forth frogs upon the land of Egypt.
8 εξηλθεν δε μωυσης και ααρων απο φαραω και εβοησεν μωυσης προς κυριον περι του ορισμου των βατραχων ως εταξατο φαραω8 But Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron, and he said to them: “Pray to the Lord, so as to take away the frogs from me and from my people. And I will release the people, so as to sacrifice to the Lord.”
9 εποιησεν δε κυριος καθαπερ ειπεν μωυσης και ετελευτησαν οι βατραχοι εκ των οικιων και εκ των επαυλεων και εκ των αγρων9 And Moses said to Pharaoh: “Appoint for me a time, when I should petition on behalf of you, and your servants, and your people, so that the frogs may be driven away from you, and from your house, and from your servants, and from your people, and so that they may remain only in the river.”
10 και συνηγαγον αυτους θιμωνιας θιμωνιας και ωζεσεν η γη10 And he responded, “Tomorrow.” Then he said, “I will act according to your word, so that you may know that there is no one like the Lord our God.
11 ιδων δε φαραω οτι γεγονεν αναψυξις εβαρυνθη η καρδια αυτου και ουκ εισηκουσεν αυτων καθαπερ ελαλησεν κυριος11 And the frogs will withdraw from you, and from your house, and from your servants, and from your people. And they will remain only in the river.”
12 ειπεν δε κυριος προς μωυσην ειπον ααρων εκτεινον τη χειρι την ραβδον σου και παταξον το χωμα της γης και εσονται σκνιφες εν τε τοις ανθρωποις και εν τοις τετραποσιν και εν παση γη αιγυπτου12 And Moses and Aaron departed from Pharaoh. And Moses cried out to the Lord on behalf of the promise that he had made to Pharaoh concerning the frogs.
13 εξετεινεν ουν ααρων τη χειρι την ραβδον και επαταξεν το χωμα της γης και εγενοντο οι σκνιφες εν τε τοις ανθρωποις και εν τοις τετραποσιν και εν παντι χωματι της γης εγενοντο οι σκνιφες εν παση γη αιγυπτου13 And the Lord acted according to the word of Moses. And the frogs died out of the houses, and out of the villages, and out of the fields.
14 εποιησαν δε ωσαυτως και οι επαοιδοι ταις φαρμακειαις αυτων εξαγαγειν τον σκνιφα και ουκ ηδυναντο και εγενοντο οι σκνιφες εν τοις ανθρωποις και εν τοις τετραποσιν14 And they gathered them together into immense piles, and the land was polluted.
15 ειπαν ουν οι επαοιδοι τω φαραω δακτυλος θεου εστιν τουτο και εσκληρυνθη η καρδια φαραω και ουκ εισηκουσεν αυτων καθαπερ ελαλησεν κυριος15 Then Pharaoh, seeing that relief had been provided, hardened his own heart, and he did not listen to them, just as the Lord had instructed.
16 ειπεν δε κυριος προς μωυσην ορθρισον το πρωι και στηθι εναντιον φαραω και ιδου αυτος εξελευσεται επι το υδωρ και ερεις προς αυτον ταδε λεγει κυριος εξαποστειλον τον λαον μου ινα μοι λατρευσωσιν εν τη ερημω16 And the Lord said to Moses: “Say to Aaron: ‘Extend your staff and strike the dust of the earth. And let there be stinging insects throughout the entire the land of Egypt.’ ”
17 εαν δε μη βουλη εξαποστειλαι τον λαον μου ιδου εγω επαποστελλω επι σε και επι τους θεραποντας σου και επι τον λαον σου και επι τους οικους υμων κυνομυιαν και πλησθησονται αι οικιαι των αιγυπτιων της κυνομυιης και εις την γην εφ' ης εισιν επ' αυτης17 And they did so. And Aaron extended his hand, holding the staff, and he struck the dust of the earth, and there came stinging insects upon men and upon beasts. All the dust of the earth was turned into stinging insects through all the land of Egypt.
18 και παραδοξασω εν τη ημερα εκεινη την γην γεσεμ εφ' ης ο λαος μου επεστιν επ' αυτης εφ' ης ουκ εσται εκει η κυνομυια ινα ειδης οτι εγω ειμι κυριος ο κυριος πασης της γης18 And the sorcerers, with their incantations, did similarly, in order to bring forth stinging insects, but they were not able. And there were stinging insects, as much on men as on beasts.
19 και δωσω διαστολην ανα μεσον του εμου λαου και ανα μεσον του σου λαου εν δε τη αυριον εσται το σημειον τουτο επι της γης19 And the sorcerers said to Pharaoh: “This is the finger of God.” And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not listen to them, just as the Lord had instructed.
20 εποιησεν δε κυριος ουτως και παρεγενετο η κυνομυια πληθος εις τους οικους φαραω και εις τους οικους των θεραποντων αυτου και εις πασαν την γην αιγυπτου και εξωλεθρευθη η γη απο της κυνομυιης20 The Lord also said to Moses: “Arise at first light, and stand in the sight of Pharaoh, for he will go out to the waters. And you will say to him: ‘Thus says the Lord: Release my people to sacrifice to me.
21 εκαλεσεν δε φαραω μωυσην και ααρων λεγων ελθοντες θυσατε τω θεω υμων εν τη γη21 But if you will not release them, behold, I will send upon you, and upon your servants, and upon your people, and into your houses, diverse kinds of flies. And the houses of the Egyptians will be filled with diverse kinds of flies, as well as the whole land in which they will be.
22 και ειπεν μωυσης ου δυνατον γενεσθαι ουτως τα γαρ βδελυγματα των αιγυπτιων θυσομεν κυριω τω θεω ημων εαν γαρ θυσωμεν τα βδελυγματα των αιγυπτιων εναντιον αυτων λιθοβοληθησομεθα22 And in that day, I will cause a miracle in the land of Goshen, where my people are, so that flies will not be there. And you will know that I am the Lord in the midst of the earth.
23 οδον τριων ημερων πορευσομεθα εις την ερημον και θυσομεν κυριω τω θεω ημων καθαπερ ειπεν ημιν23 And I will set a division between my people and your people. Tomorrow this sign will be.’ ”
24 και ειπεν φαραω εγω αποστελλω υμας και θυσατε κυριω τω θεω υμων εν τη ερημω αλλ' ου μακραν αποτενειτε πορευθηναι ευξασθε ουν περι εμου προς κυριον24 And the Lord did so. And there came very grievous flies into the houses of Pharaoh and of his servants, and into all the land of Egypt. And the land was polluted, in this way, by the flies.
25 ειπεν δε μωυσης οδε εγω εξελευσομαι απο σου και ευξομαι προς τον θεον και απελευσεται η κυνομυια απο σου και απο των θεραποντων σου και του λαου σου αυριον μη προσθης ετι φαραω εξαπατησαι του μη εξαποστειλαι τον λαον θυσαι κυριω25 And Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron, and he said to them, “Go and sacrifice to your God in this land.”
26 εξηλθεν δε μωυσης απο φαραω και ηυξατο προς τον θεον26 And Moses said: “It cannot be so. For we will immolate the abominations of the Egyptians to the Lord our God. For if we slaughter those things which the Egyptians worship, in their presence, they will stone us.
27 εποιησεν δε κυριος καθαπερ ειπεν μωυσης και περιειλεν την κυνομυιαν απο φαραω και των θεραποντων αυτου και του λαου αυτου και ου κατελειφθη ουδεμια27 We will sojourn three days’ journey into the wilderness. And we will sacrifice to the Lord our God, just as he has instructed us.”
28 και εβαρυνεν φαραω την καρδιαν αυτου και επι του καιρου τουτου και ουκ ηθελησεν εξαποστειλαι τον λαον28 And Pharaoh said: “I will release you in order to sacrifice to the Lord your God in the desert. Yet you may only go so far. Petition for me.”
29 And Moses said: “After departing from you, I will pray to the Lord. And the flies will withdraw from Pharaoh, and from his servants, and from his people, tomorrow. Yet do not be willing to deceive any longer, so that you would not release the people to sacrifice to the Lord.”
30 And Moses, departing from Pharaoh, prayed to the Lord.
31 And he acted according to his word. And he took away the flies from Pharaoh, and from his servants, and from his people. There was not even one left behind.
32 And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, so that, even at this turn, he would not release the people.
