Esodo 8

LA SACRA BIBBIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Il Signore disse a Mosè: "Di' ad Aronne: "Stendi la tua mano con il tuo bastone sui fiumi, sui canali e sugli stagni, e fa' salire le rane sul paese d'Egitto".	1 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 Aronne stese la sua mano sull'acqua d'Egitto: le rane salirono e coprirono il paese d'Egitto.	2 But if you are not willing to release them, behold, I will strike all your coasts with frogs.
3 E lo stesso fecero i maghi con i loro sortilegi: fecero salire le rane sul paese d'Egitto.	3 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 Il faraone chiamò Mosè ed Aronne e disse: "Pregate il Signore, perché allontani le rane da noi e dal mio popolo, e io manderò il popolo a sacrificare al Signore".	4 And to you, and to your people, and to all your servants, the frogs will enter.’ ”
5 Mosè disse al faraone: "Fammi l'onore di comunicarmi quando potrò pregare per te, per i tuoi servi, per il tuo popolo, per far scomparire le rane da te e dalle tue case, e ne restino solo nel fiume".	5 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 Rispose: "Domani". Rispose: "Secondo la tua parola, perché tu sappia che non c'è nessuno come il Signore, nostro Dio.	6 And Aaron extended his hand over the waters of Egypt, and the frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt.
7 Le rane si allontaneranno da te, dalle tue case, dai tuoi servi, dal tuo popolo: ne resteranno solo nel fiume".	7 Then the sorcerers also, by their incantations, did similarly, and they brought forth frogs upon the land of Egypt.
8 Uscì, Mosè con Aronne, dal faraone, e Mosè gridò al Signore riguardo alle rane, che aveva mandate al faraone.	8 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 Il Signore fece secondo la parola di Mosè: le rane morirono nelle case, nei cortili e nei campi.	9 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 Le raccolsero in mucchi, e il paese puzzava.	10 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 Il faraone vide che c'era sollievo, indurì il suo cuore e non li ascoltò, come aveva detto il Signore.	11 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 Il Signore disse a Mosè: "Di' ad Aronne: "Stendi il tuo bastone e batti la polvere del suolo: ci saranno zanzare in tutto il paese d'Egitto".	12 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 Essi fecero così; Aronne stese la sua mano con il suo bastone e colpì la polvere del suolo, e ci furono zanzare sugli uomini e sulle bestie: tutta la polvere del suolo diventò zanzare, in tutto il paese d'Egitto.	13 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 Allo stesso modo fecero i maghi con i loro sortilegi per far uscire le zanzare, ma non poterono: e ci furono zanzare su uomini e bestie.	14 And they gathered them together into immense piles, and the land was polluted.
15 I maghi dissero al faraone: "Dito di un Dio è quello". Ma il cuore del faraone si indurì e non li ascoltò, come aveva detto il Signore.	15 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 Il Signore disse a Mosè: "Alzati di buon mattino e mettiti davanti al faraone, proprio quando esce verso l'acqua, e digli: "Così ha detto il Signore: manda via il mio popolo perché mi serva.	16 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 Poiché, se tu non mandi via il mio popolo, ecco manderò su di te, sui tuoi servi, sul tuo popolo e nelle tue case dei mosconi: i mosconi riempiranno le case d'Egitto e anche il suolo su cui stanno.	17 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 Ma preserverò in quel giorno la terra di Gosen, dove sta il mio popolo, perché non vi siano mosconi, in modo che tu sappia che io sono il Signore in mezzo al paese.	18 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 Porrò uno scampo tra il mio popolo e il tuo popolo: questo segno avverrà domani".	19 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 Il Signore fece così; vennero in massa i mosconi nella casa del faraone, nella casa dei suoi servi e in tutta la terra d'Egitto: il paese fu devastato dai mosconi.	20 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 Il faraone chiamò Mosè ed Aronne e disse: "Andate a sacrificare al vostro Dio nel paese".	21 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 Mosè disse: "Non possiamo certo fare così, poiché quello che noi sacrifichiamo al Signore, nostro Dio, è un abominio per gli Egiziani. Ecco, sacrificando ciò che è un abominio per gli Egiziani davanti ai loro occhi, non ci lapideranno forse?	22 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 Per un cammino di tre giorni andremo nel deserto a sacrificare al Signore, nostro Dio, come ci aveva detto".	23 And I will set a division between my people and your people. Tomorrow this sign will be.’ ”
24 Il faraone disse: "Io vi manderò a sacrificare al Signore, vostro Dio, nel deserto: solo, non andate lontano. Pregate per me".	24 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 Mosè disse: "Ecco, io esco da te e pregherò il Signore: domani si allontaneranno i mosconi dal faraone, dai suoi servi, dal suo popolo. Solo che il faraone non ci prenda più in giro non lasciando partire il popolo, perché possa sacrificare al Signore".	25 And Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron, and he said to them, “Go and sacrifice to your God in this land.”
26 Mosè uscì dal faraone e pregò il Signore.	26 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 Il Signore fece secondo la parola di Mosè e allontanò i mosconi dal faraone, dai suoi servi e dal suo popolo: non ne restò uno.	27 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 Ma il faraone indurì il suo cuore anche questa volta e non mandò via il popolo.	28 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.
