1 Kungs teica Mozum: “Saki Āronam: izstiep savu roku ar spieķi pār upēm, pietekām un purviem un liec, lai nāk vardes pār Ēģiptes zemi!” 2 Ārons izstiepa savu roku pār Ēģiptes ūdeņiem, un nāca vardes un pārklāja Ēģiptes zemi. 3 Tāpat darīja arī magi ar savām burvestībām, likdami vardēm nākt pār Ēģiptes zemi. 4 Tad faraons pasauca Mozu un Āronu un teica: “Izlūdzieties Kungam, lai aizvāc vardes no manis un manas tautas, tad es laidīšu tautu upurēt Kungam!” 5 Un Mozus teica faraonam: “Esi tik laipns, pasaki, kad man lūgties par tevi un taviem kalpiem un par tavu tautu, lai dabūtu prom vardes no tevis un taviem namiem, lai tās paliktu tikai Nīlā!” 6 Viņš teica: “Rīt!” Un Mozus teica: “Kā tu vēlies! – lai tu zini, ka neviens nav tāds kā Kungs, mūsu Dievs! 7 Vardes tiks aizvāktas no tevis, taviem namiem, taviem kalpiem un tavas tautas – tās paliks tikai Nīlā!” 8 Mozus un Ārons devās projām no faraona, un Mozus sauca uz Kungu par vardēm, kuras viņš bija uzlaidis faraonam. 9 Kungs darīja, kā Mozus teica, un vardes nobeidzās gan mājās, gan pagalmos, gan laukos. 10 Viņi savāca tās kaudžu kaudzēm, un zeme smirdēja. 11 Kad faraons redzēja, ka nācis atvieglojums, viņš nocietināja savu sirdi un viņus neklausīja – kā Kungs bija teicis.
Trešā mocība: odi
12 Un Kungs teica Mozum: “Saki Āronam: izstiep savu spieķi un sit zemes putekļus, lai tie kļūst par knišļiem visā Ēģiptes zemē!” 13 Un viņi tā darīja, Ārons izstiepa roku ar spieķi, sita zemes putekļus, un tie kļuva par knišļiem – gan cilvēkiem, gan lopiem. Visi zemes putekļi kļuva par knišļiem visā Ēģiptes zemē. 14 Tāpat darīja arī magi ar savām burvestībām, bet nevarēja. Knišļi bija gan uz cilvēkiem, gan lopiem. 15 Un magi teica faraonam: “Tas ir Dieva pirksts!” Bet faraona sirds nocietinājās, un viņš tiem neklausīja – kā Kungs bija teicis.
Ceturtā mocība: kaitīgi kukaiņi
16 Un Kungs teica Mozum: “Celies agri no rīta un stājies faraona priekšā, redzi – viņš ies laukā pie ūdens, tad saki viņam: tā saka Kungs: atlaid manu tautu, lai viņi man kalpo! 17 Ja tu nelaidīsi manu tautu, redzi – es uzsūtīšu tev un taviem kalpiem, tavai tautai un taviem namiem mušas. Ēģiptes nami piepildīsies ar mušām, un arī zeme, uz kuras tie stāv. 18 Bet tai dienā es nošķiršu Gošenes zemi, kur ir mana tauta, lai tur nebūtu mušu, lai tu zini, ka es esmu Kungs pār visu zemi! 19 Es likšu atšķirību starp manu tautu un tavu tautu – rīt būs šī zīme!” 20 Kungs darīja tā, un mušu bari nāca faraona namā un viņa kalpu namos, un zeme mušu dēļ tika sapostīta visā Ēģiptes zemē. 21 Tad faraons pasauca Mozu un Āronu un teica: “Ejiet, upurējiet savam Dievam šinī zemē!” 22 Bet Mozus teica: “Tā nav pareizi darīt, jo ēģiptiešiem riebj tas, ka mēs upurēsim Kungam, mūsu Dievam! Ja mēs ēģiptiešu acu priekšā upurēsim tā, ka tas viņiem riebj – vai tad viņi mūs nenomētās akmeņiem?! 23 Mēs iesim tuksnesī trīs dienu ceļu un upurēsim Kungam, savam Dievam, kā viņš mums teiks!” 24 Tad faraons teica: “Es jūs laidīšu, upurējiet Kungam, savam Dievam, tuksnesī, tikai neejiet tālu! Lūdziet par mani!” 25 Un Mozus teica: “Redzi – es aizeju no tevis, un es lūgšu Kungu, lai tad viņš rīt aizvāc mušas no faraona, viņa kalpiem un viņa tautas, bet tikai lai faraons vairs nekrāpjas, nelaizdams tautu upurēt Kungam!” 26 Un Mozus aizgāja no faraona, lai lūgtu Kungu. 27 Kungs darīja, kā Mozus teica, aizvāca mušas no faraona, viņa kalpiem un viņa tautas – neatlika nevienas! 28 Bet faraons arī šoreiz nocietināja savu sirdi un neatlaida tautu.
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, Go unto Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Let my people go, that they may serve me. 2 And if thou refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs: 3 And the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly, which shall go up and come into thine house, and into thy bedchamber, and upon thy bed, and into the house of thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thine ovens, and into thy kneadingtroughs: 4 And the frogs shall come up both on thee, and upon thy people, and upon all thy servants.
5 ¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch forth thine hand with thy rod over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and cause frogs to come up upon the land of Egypt. 6 And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt. 7 And the magicians did so with their enchantments, and brought up frogs upon the land of Egypt.
8 ¶ Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, Intreat the LORD, that he may take away the frogs from me, and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may do sacrifice unto the LORD. 9 And Moses said unto Pharaoh, Glory over me: when shall I intreat for thee, and for thy servants, and for thy people, to destroy the frogs from thee and thy houses, that they may remain in the river only? 10 And he said, To morrow. And he said, Be it according to thy word: that thou mayest know that there is none like unto the LORD our God. 11 And the frogs shall depart from thee, and from thy houses, and from thy servants, and from thy people; they shall remain in the river only. 12 And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh: and Moses cried unto the LORD because of the frogs which he had brought against Pharaoh. 13 And the LORD did according to the word of Moses; and the frogs died out of the houses, out of the villages, and out of the fields. 14 And they gathered them together upon heaps: and the land stank. 15 But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite, he hardened his heart, and hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said.
16 ¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy rod, and smite the dust of the land, that it may become lice throughout all the land of Egypt. 17 And they did so; for Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and smote the dust of the earth, and it became lice in man, and in beast; all the dust of the land became lice throughout all the land of Egypt. 18 And the magicians did so with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not: so there were lice upon man, and upon beast. 19 Then the magicians said unto Pharaoh, This is the finger of God: and Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said.
20 ¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh; lo, he cometh forth to the water; and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Let my people go, that they may serve me. 21 Else, if thou wilt not let my people go, behold, I will send swarms of flies upon thee, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thy houses: and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of flies , and also the ground whereon they are . 22 And I will sever in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there; to the end thou mayest know that I am the LORD in the midst of the earth. 23 And I will put a division between my people and thy people: to morrow shall this sign be. 24 And the LORD did so; and there came a grievous swarm of flies into the house of Pharaoh, and into his servants’ houses, and into all the land of Egypt: the land was corrupted by reason of the swarm of flies .
25 ¶ And Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, Go ye, sacrifice to your God in the land. 26 And Moses said, It is not meet so to do; for we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to the LORD our God: lo, shall we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, and will they not stone us? 27 We will go three days’ journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to the LORD our God, as he shall command us. 28 And Pharaoh said, I will let you go, that ye may sacrifice to the LORD your God in the wilderness; only ye shall not go very far away: intreat for me. 29 And Moses said, Behold, I go out from thee, and I will intreat the LORD that the swarms of flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people, to morrow: but let not Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to the LORD. 30 And Moses went out from Pharaoh, and intreated the LORD. 31 And the LORD did according to the word of Moses; and he removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people; there remained not one. 32 And Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also, neither would he let the people go.
