Exodus 8

The Message Bible MSG

1 God said to Moses, "Go to Pharaoh and tell him, 'God's Message: Release my people so they can worship me.

2 If you refuse to release them, I'm warning you, I'll hit the whole country with frogs.

3 The Nile will swarm with frogs - they'll come up into your houses, into your bedrooms and into your beds, into your servants' quarters, among the people, into your ovens and pots and pans.

4 They'll be all over you, all over everyone - frogs everywhere, on and in everything!'"

5 God said to Moses, "Tell Aaron, 'Wave your staff over the rivers and canals and ponds. Bring up frogs on the land of Egypt.'"

6 Aaron stretched his staff over the waters of Egypt and a mob of frogs came up and covered the country.

7 But again the magicians did the same thing using their incantations - they also produced frogs in Egypt.

8 Pharaoh called in Moses and Aaron and said, "Pray to God to rid us of these frogs. I'll release the people so that they can make their sacrifices and worship God."

9 Moses said to Pharaoh, "Certainly. Set the time. When do you want the frogs out of here, away from your servants and people and out of your houses? You'll be rid of frogs except for those in the Nile."

10 "Make it tomorrow."

11 The frogs will be gone. You and your houses and your servants and your people, free of frogs. The only frogs left will be the ones in the Nile."

12 Moses and Aaron left Pharaoh, and Moses prayed to God about the frogs he had brought on Pharaoh.

13 God responded to Moses' prayer: The frogs died off - houses, courtyards, fields, all free of frogs.

14 They piled the frogs in heaps. The country reeked of dead frogs.

15 But when Pharaoh saw that he had some breathing room, he got stubborn again and wouldn't listen to Moses and Aaron. Just as God had said. Strike Three: Gnats

16 God said to Moses, "Tell Aaron, 'Take your staff and strike the dust. The dust will turn into gnats all over Egypt.'"

17 He did it. Aaron grabbed his staff and struck the dust of the Earth; it turned into gnats, gnats all over people and animals. All the dust of the Earth turned into gnats, gnats everywhere in Egypt.

18 The magicians tried to produce gnats with their incantations but this time they couldn't do it. There were gnats everywhere, all over people and animals.

19 The magicians said to Pharaoh, "This is God's doing." But Pharaoh was stubborn and wouldn't listen. Just as God had said. Strike Four: Flies

20 God said to Moses, "Get up early in the morning and confront Pharaoh as he goes down to the water. Tell him, 'God's Message: Release my people so they can worship me.

21 If you don't release my people, I'll release swarms of flies on you, your servants, your people, and your homes. The houses of the Egyptians and even the ground under their feet will be thick with flies.

22 But when it happens, I'll set Goshen where my people live aside as a sanctuary - no flies in Goshen. That will show you that I am God in this land.

23 I'll make a sharp distinction between your people and mine. This sign will occur tomorrow.'"

24 And God did just that. Thick swarms of flies in Pharaoh's palace and the houses of his servants. All over Egypt, the country ruined by flies.

25 Pharaoh called in Moses and Aaron and said, "Go ahead. Sacrifice to your God - but do it here in this country."

26 Moses said, "That would not be wise. What we sacrifice to our God would give great offense to Egyptians. If we openly sacrifice what is so deeply offensive to Egyptians, they'll kill us.

27 Let us go three days' journey into the wilderness and sacrifice to our God, just as he instructed us."

28 Pharaoh said, "All right. I'll release you to go and sacrifice to your God in the wilderness. Only don't go too far. Now pray for me."

29 Moses said, "As soon as I leave here, I will pray to God that tomorrow the flies will leave Pharaoh, his servants, and his people. But don't play games with us and change your mind about releasing us to sacrifice to God."

30 Moses left Pharaoh and prayed to God.

31 God did what Moses asked. He got rid of the flies from Pharaoh and his servants and his people. There wasn't a fly left.

32 But Pharaoh became stubborn once again and wouldn't release the people.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 dixitque Dominus ad Mosen ingredere ad Pharao et dices ad eum haec dicit Dominus dimitte populum meum ut sacrificet mihi

2 sin autem nolueris dimittere ecce ego percutiam omnes terminos tuos ranis

3 et ebulliet fluvius ranas quae ascendent et ingredientur domum tuam et cubiculum lectuli tui et super stratum tuum et in domos servorum tuorum et in populum tuum et in furnos tuos et in reliquias ciborum tuorum

4 et ad te et ad populum tuum et ad omnes servos tuos intrabunt ranae

5 dixitque Dominus ad Mosen dic Aaron extende manum tuam super fluvios et super rivos ac paludes et educ ranas super terram Aegypti

6 extendit Aaron manum super aquas Aegypti et ascenderunt ranae operueruntque terram Aegypti

7 fecerunt autem et malefici per incantationes suas similiter eduxeruntque ranas super terram Aegypti

8 vocavit autem Pharao Mosen et Aaron et dixit orate Dominum ut auferat ranas a me et a populo meo et dimittam populum ut sacrificet Domino

9 dixitque Moses Pharaoni constitue mihi quando deprecer pro te et pro servis tuis et pro populo tuo ut abigantur ranae a te et a domo tua et tantum in flumine remaneant

10 qui respondit cras at ille iuxta verbum inquit tuum ut scias quoniam non est sicut Dominus Deus noster

11 et recedent ranae a te et a domo tua et a servis tuis et a populo tuo tantum in flumine remanebunt

12 egressique sunt Moses et Aaron a Pharaone et clamavit Moses ad Dominum pro sponsione ranarum quam condixerat Pharaoni

13 fecitque Dominus iuxta verbum Mosi et mortuae sunt ranae de domibus et de villis et de agris

14 congregaveruntque eas in inmensos aggeres et conputruit terra

15 videns autem Pharao quod data esset requies ingravavit cor suum et non audivit eos sicut praeceperat Dominus

16 dixitque Dominus ad Mosen loquere ad Aaron extende virgam tuam et percute pulverem terrae et sint scinifes in universa terra Aegypti

17 feceruntque ita et extendit Aaron manu virgam tenens percussitque pulverem terrae et facti sunt scinifes in hominibus et in iumentis omnis pulvis terrae versus est in scinifes per totam terram Aegypti

18 feceruntque similiter malefici incantationibus suis ut educerent scinifes et non potuerunt erantque scinifes tam in hominibus quam in iumentis

19 et dixerunt malefici ad Pharao digitus Dei est induratumque est cor Pharaonis et non audivit eos sicut praeceperat Dominus

20 dixit quoque Dominus ad Mosen consurge diluculo et sta coram Pharaone egreditur enim ad aquas et dices ad eum haec dicit Dominus dimitte populum meum ut sacrificet mihi

21 quod si non dimiseris eum ecce ego inmittam in te et in servos tuos et in populum tuum et in domos tuas omne genus muscarum et implebuntur domus Aegyptiorum muscis diversi generis et in universa terra in qua fuerint

22 faciamque mirabilem in die illa terram Gessen in qua populus meus est ut non sint ibi muscae et scias quoniam ego Dominus in medio terrae

23 ponamque divisionem inter populum meum et populum tuum cras erit signum istud

24 fecitque Dominus ita et venit musca gravissima in domos Pharaonis et servorum eius et in omnem terram Aegypti corruptaque est terra ab huiuscemodi muscis

25 vocavit Pharao Mosen et Aaron et ait eis ite sacrificate Deo vestro in terra

26 et ait Moses non potest ita fieri abominationes enim Aegyptiorum immolabimus Domino Deo nostro quod si mactaverimus ea quae colunt Aegyptii coram eis lapidibus nos obruent

27 via trium dierum pergemus in solitudine et sacrificabimus Domino Deo nostro sicut praeceperit nobis

28 dixitque Pharao ego dimittam vos ut sacrificetis Domino Deo vestro in deserto verumtamen longius ne abeatis rogate pro me

29 et ait Moses egressus a te orabo Dominum et recedet musca a Pharaone et a servis et a populo eius cras verumtamen noli ultra fallere ut non dimittas populum sacrificare Domino

30 egressusque Moses a Pharao oravit Dominum

31 qui fecit iuxta verbum illius et abstulit muscas a Pharao et a servis et a populo eius non superfuit ne una quidem

32 et ingravatum est cor Pharaonis ita ut ne hac quidem vice dimitteret populum
