2.Mose 8 | Bibelen på hverdagsdansk
1Og Herren gav Moses besked om, at Aron med sin stav skulle pege ud over landets floder, alle kanalerne og dammene, så frøerne kunne invadere landet.2Aron adlød, og der vrimlede frøer frem overalt.3Men ved hjælp af deres magi fik også troldmændene frøer til at vrimle frem.4Da kaldte Farao Moses og Aron til sig og sagde: „Bed Jahve om at fjerne frøerne fra mig og mit folk, så vil jeg give jeres folk tilladelse til at rejse ud og tilbede jeres Gud.”5„Hvornår vil du have, jeg skal bede for dig, dine tjenere og dit folk?” spurgte Moses. „Når jeg beder, vil frøerne forsvinde fra jeres huse og kun være i floden.”6„I morgen!” sagde Farao. „Det skal ske,” svarede Moses. „Så vil du forstå, at der ikke findes nogen så mægtig som vores Gud, Jahve.7Alle frøer vil forsvinde fra dig og dine huse, dine tjenere og dit folk. Kun de frøer der findes i Nilen, vil blive tilbage.”8Moses og Aron forlod nu Farao, og Moses bad Herren om at udrydde frøerne.9Herren gjorde, hvad Moses bad om. Frøerne døde i husene, i gårdene og på markerne.10De blev samlet i store dynger, og det stank over hele landet.11Men da Farao så, at han var blevet fri for frøerne, kom stædigheden over ham igen, og han nægtede at lade folket rejse—nøjagtig som Herren havde forudsagt.
Tredje katastrofe: Myg
12Så sagde Herren til Moses: „Sig til Aron, at han skal slå på jordens støv med sin stav. Så vil støvet i hele Egypten blive forvandlet til myggesværme.”13Moses og Aron gjorde igen, som Herren havde befalet, og pludselig vrimlede det med myg over hele landet, og de angreb både mennesker og dyr.14Troldmændene forsøgte igen at gøre miraklet efter, men denne gang kunne de ikke. Myggene sad tæt på både mennesker og dyr.15„Det er et tegn fra Gud!” udbrød troldmændene. Men Farao var lige stædig og hårdhjertet, og ville ikke lade folket rejse—nøjagtig som Herren havde forudsagt.
Fjerde katastrofe: Fluer
16Så sagde Herren til Moses: „Stå tidligt op i morgen og gå Farao i møde, når han er på vej til floden. Sig til ham fra mig af: Lad mit folk rejse ud for at tilbede mig.17Hvis du stadig nægter, vil jeg sende store sværme af fluer over dig, dine tjenere og hele dit folk. Dine huse og egypternes huse vil blive fyldt med fluer, og jorden vil blive dækket af dem.18Men i Goshens land, hvor israelitterne bor, vil jeg gøre en undtagelse, så der ingen fluer vil være. Så må du vel kunne fatte, at jeg er Herren, og at jeg har magten her i landet.19Jeg vil gøre forskel på mit folk og dit folk. Det her mirakel skal ske i morgen.”20Og Herren gjorde, som han havde sagt: Vældige sværme af fluer trængte ind i Faraos palads og i hans tjeneres huse og i hvert eneste hjem i Egypten, så hele landet var forpestet af fluer.21Da kaldte Farao Moses og Aron til sig og sagde: „Så tag da af sted og bring ofre til jeres Gud, men gør det inden for landets grænser. Tag ikke ud i ørkenen.”22Men Moses svarede: „Nej, det går ikke an. Egypterne vil afsky den måde, vi ofrer til vores Gud på. Hvis vi gør noget for øjnene af dem, som de finder afskyeligt, vil de så ikke stene os?23Vi bliver nødt til at rejse tre dagsrejser ud i ørkenen for at ofre til Herren, vores Gud, sådan som han har befalet os.”24„Ja ja, så rejs da,” sagde Farao modstræbende, „men tag ikke for langt væk! Og skynd jer så at bede til jeres Gud om, at de fluer må forsvinde!”25„Så snart jeg er ude af paladset, skal jeg bede vores Gud om at udrydde fluerne,” svarede Moses. „Og fluerne vil forsvinde fra dig, dine tjenere og dit folk i morgen. Men pas på, at du ikke igen narrer os og nægter at lade folket rejse hen og ofre til Herren.”26Så forlod Moses Farao og bad Herren om at fjerne fluerne,27og Herren gjorde, som Moses bad: Alle fluerne forsvandt fra Farao, hans tjenere og hans folk. Ikke én eneste blev tilbage.28Men også denne gang blev Farao hård og stædig, så han ikke lod israelitterne rejse.
English Standard Version
The Second Plague: Frogs
1* Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go in to Pharaoh and say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord, “Let my people go, that they may serve me.2But if you refuse to let them go, behold, I will plague all your country with frogs.3The Nile shall swarm with frogs that shall come up into your house and into your bedroom and on your bed and into the houses of your servants and your people,* and into your ovens and your kneading bowls.4The frogs shall come up on you and on your people and on all your servants.”’”5* And the Lord said to Moses, “Say to Aaron, ‘Stretch out your hand with your staff over the rivers, over the canals and over the pools, and make frogs come up on the land of Egypt!’”6So Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt, and the frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt.7But the magicians did the same by their secret arts and made frogs come up on the land of Egypt.8Then Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron and said, “Plead with the Lord to take away the frogs from me and from my people, and I will let the people go to sacrifice to the Lord.”9Moses said to Pharaoh, “Be pleased to command me when I am to plead for you and for your servants and for your people, that the frogs be cut off from you and your houses and be left only in the Nile.”10And he said, “Tomorrow.” Moses said, “Be it as you say, so that you may know that there is no one like the Lord our God.11The frogs shall go away from you and your houses and your servants and your people. They shall be left only in the Nile.”12So Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh, and Moses cried to the Lord about the frogs, as he had agreed with Pharaoh.*13And the Lord did according to the word of Moses. The frogs died out in the houses, the courtyards, and the fields.14And they gathered them together in heaps, and the land stank.15But when Pharaoh saw that there was a respite, he hardened his heart and would not listen to them, as the Lord had said.
The Third Plague: Gnats
16Then the Lord said to Moses, “Say to Aaron, ‘Stretch out your staff and strike the dust of the earth, so that it may become gnats in all the land of Egypt.’”17And they did so. Aaron stretched out his hand with his staff and struck the dust of the earth, and there were gnats on man and beast. All the dust of the earth became gnats in all the land of Egypt.18The magicians tried by their secret arts to produce gnats, but they could not. So there were gnats on man and beast.19Then the magicians said to Pharaoh, “This is the finger of God.” But Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he would not listen to them, as the Lord had said.
The Fourth Plague: Flies
20Then the Lord said to Moses, “Rise up early in the morning and present yourself to Pharaoh, as he goes out to the water, and say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord, “Let my people go, that they may serve me.21Or else, if you will not let my people go, behold, I will send swarms of flies on you and your servants and your people, and into your houses. And the houses of the Egyptians shall be filled with swarms of flies, and also the ground on which they stand.22But on that day I will set apart the land of Goshen, where my people dwell, so that no swarms of flies shall be there, that you may know that I am the Lord in the midst of the earth.*23Thus I will put a division* between my people and your people. Tomorrow this sign shall happen.”’”24And the Lord did so. There came great swarms of flies into the house of Pharaoh and into his servants’ houses. Throughout all the land of Egypt the land was ruined by the swarms of flies.25Then Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron and said, “Go, sacrifice to your God within the land.”26But Moses said, “It would not be right to do so, for the offerings we shall sacrifice to the Lord our God are an abomination to the Egyptians. If we sacrifice offerings abominable to the Egyptians before their eyes, will they not stone us?27We must go three days’ journey into the wilderness and sacrifice to the Lord our God as he tells us.”28So Pharaoh said, “I will let you go to sacrifice to the Lord your God in the wilderness; only you must not go very far away. Plead for me.”29Then Moses said, “Behold, I am going out from you and I will plead with the Lord that the swarms of flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people, tomorrow. Only let not Pharaoh cheat again by not letting the people go to sacrifice to the Lord.”30So Moses went out from Pharaoh and prayed to the Lord.31And the Lord did as Moses asked, and removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people; not one remained.32But Pharaoh hardened his heart this time also, and did not let the people go.
