Exodus 8

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	LXX
1 The LORD then told Moses, "Say to Aaron: Stretch out your hand and your staff over the streams and canals and pools, to make frogs overrun the land of Egypt."	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 βατραχους
2 Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt, and the frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt.	2 και εξετεινεν ααρων την χειρα επι τα υδατα αιγυπτου και ανηγαγεν τους βατραχους και ανεβιβασθη ο βατραχος και εκαλυψεν την γην αιγυπτου
3 But the magicians did the same by their magic arts. They, too, made frogs overrun the land of Egypt.	3 εποιησαν δε ωσαυτως και οι επαοιδοι των αιγυπτιων ταις φαρμακειαις αυτων και ανηγαγον τους βατραχους επι γην αιγυπτου
4 Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, "Pray the LORD to remove the frogs from me and my subjects, and I will let the people go to offer sacrifice to the LORD."	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 κυριω
5 Moses answered Pharaoh, "Do me the favor of appointing the time when I am to pray for you and your servants and your subjects, that the frogs may be taken away from you and your houses and be left only in the river."	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 υπολειφθησονται
6 "Tomorrow," said Pharaoh. Then Moses replied, "It shall be as you have said, so that you may learn that there is none like the LORD, our God.	6 ο δε ειπεν εις αυριον ειπεν ουν ως ειρηκας ινα ειδης οτι ουκ εστιν αλλος πλην κυριου
7 The frogs shall leave you and your houses, your servants and your subjects; only in the river shall they be left."	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 υπολειφθησονται
8 After Moses and Aaron left Pharaoh's presence, Moses implored the LORD to fulfill the promise he had made to Pharaoh about the frogs;	8 εξηλθεν δε μωυσης και ααρων απο φαραω και εβοησεν μωυσης προς κυριον περι του ορισμου των βατραχων ως εταξατο φαραω
9 and the LORD did as Moses had asked. The frogs in the houses and courtyards and fields died off.	9 εποιησεν δε κυριος καθαπερ ειπεν μωυσης και ετελευτησαν οι βατραχοι εκ των οικιων και εκ των επαυλεων και εκ των αγρων
10 Heaps and heaps of them were gathered up, and there was a stench in the land.	10 και συνηγαγον αυτους θιμωνιας θιμωνιας και ωζεσεν η γη
11 But when Pharaoh saw that there was a respite, he became obdurate and would not listen to them, just as the LORD had foretold.	11 ιδων δε φαραω οτι γεγονεν αναψυξις εβαρυνθη η καρδια αυτου και ουκ εισηκουσεν αυτων καθαπερ ελαλησεν κυριος
12 Thereupon the LORD said to Moses, "Tell Aaron to stretch out his staff and strike the dust of the earth, that it may be turned into gnats throughout the land of Egypt."	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 αιγυπτου
13 They did so. Aaron stretched out his hand, and with his staff he struck the dust of the earth, and gnats came upon man and beast. The dust of the earth was turned into gnats throughout the land of Egypt.	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 αιγυπτου
14 Though the magicians tried to bring forth gnats by their magic arts, they could not do so. As the gnats infested man and beast,	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 τετραποσιν
15 the magicians said to Pharaoh, "This is the finger of God." Yet Pharaoh remained obstinate and would not listen to them, just as the LORD had foretold.	15 ειπαν ουν οι επαοιδοι τω φαραω δακτυλος θεου εστιν τουτο και εσκληρυνθη η καρδια φαραω και ουκ εισηκουσεν αυτων καθαπερ ελαλησεν κυριος
16 Again the LORD told Moses, "Early tomorrow morning present yourself to Pharaoh when he goes forth to the water, and say to him: Thus says the LORD: Let my people go to worship me.	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 ερημω
17 If you will not let my people go, I warn you, I will loose swarms of flies upon you and your servants and your subjects and your houses. The houses of the Egyptians and the very ground on which they stand shall be filled with swarms of flies.	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' αυτης
18 But on that day I will make an exception of the land of Goshen: there shall be no flies where my people dwell, that you may know that I am the LORD in the midst of the earth.	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 γης
19 I will make this distinction between my people and your people. This sign shall take place tomorrow."	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 γης
20 This the LORD did. Thick swarms of flies entered the house of Pharaoh and the houses of his servants; throughout Egypt the land was infested with flies.	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 κυνομυιης
21 Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said to them, "Go and offer sacrifice to your God in this land."	21 εκαλεσεν δε φαραω μωυσην και ααρων λεγων ελθοντες θυσατε τω θεω υμων εν τη γη
22 But Moses replied, "It is not right to do so, for the sacrifices we offer to the LORD, our God, are an abomination to the Egyptians. If before their very eyes we offer sacrifices which are an abomination to them, will not the Egyptians stone us?	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 λιθοβοληθησομεθα
23 We must go a three days' journey in the desert to offer sacrifice to the LORD, our God, as he commands us."	23 οδον τριων ημερων πορευσομεθα εις την ερημον και θυσομεν κυριω τω θεω ημων καθαπερ ειπεν ημιν
24 "Well, then," said Pharaoh, "I will let you go to offer sacrifice to the LORD, your God, in the desert, provided that you do not go too far away and that you pray for me."	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 κυριον
25 Moses answered, "As soon as I leave your presence I will pray to the LORD that the flies may depart tomorrow from Pharaoh and his servants and his subjects. Pharaoh, however, must not play false again by refusing to let the people go to offer sacrifice to the LORD."	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 κυριω
26 When Moses left Pharaoh's presence, he prayed to the LORD;	26 εξηλθεν δε μωυσης απο φαραω και ηυξατο προς τον θεον
27 and the LORD did as Moses had asked. He removed the flies from Pharaoh and his servants and subjects. Not one remained.	27 εποιησεν δε κυριος καθαπερ ειπεν μωυσης και περιειλεν την κυνομυιαν απο φαραω και των θεραποντων αυτου και του λαου αυτου και ου κατελειφθη ουδεμια
28 But once more Pharaoh became obdurate and would not let the people go.	28 και εβαρυνεν φαραω την καρδιαν αυτου και επι του καιρου τουτου και ουκ ηθελησεν εξαποστειλαι τον λαον
