Ἔξοδος 8

¹Εἶπε δὲ Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσὴν, εἴσελθε πρὸς Φαραὼ, καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς αὐτὸν, τάδε λεγέι Κύριος, ἐξαπόστειλον τὸν λαόν μου, ἵνα μοι λατρεύσωσιν.

²Εἰ δὲ μὴ βούλει σὺ ἐξαποστεῖλαι, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ τύπτω πάντα τὰ ὅριά σου τοῖς βατράχοις.

³Καὶ ἐξερεύξεται ὁ ποταμὸς βατράχους· καὶ ἀναβάντες εἰσελεύσονται εἰς τοὺς οἴκους σου, καὶ εἰς τὰ ταμιεῖα τῶν κοιτώνων σου, καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν κλινῶν σου, καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς οἴκους τῶν θεραπόντων σου, καὶ τοῦ λαοῦ σου, καὶ ἐν τοῖς φυράμασί σου, καὶ ἐν τοῖς κλιβάνοις σου.

⁴Καὶ ἐπὶ σὲ, καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς θεράποντάς σου, καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν λαόν σου, ἀναβήσονται οἱ βάτραχοι.

⁵Εἶπε δὲ Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν, εἶπον Ἀαρὼν τῷ ἀδελφῷ σου, ἔκτεινον τῇ χειρὶ τὴν ῥάβδον σου ἐπὶ τοὺς ποταμοὺς, καὶ ἐπὶ τὰς διώρυγας, καὶ ἐπὶ τὰ ἕλη, καὶ ἀνάγαγε τοὺς βατράχους.

⁶Καὶ ἐξέτεινεν Ἀαρὼν τὴν χεῖρα ἐπὶ τὰ ὕδατα Αἰγύπτου, καὶ ἀνήγαγε τοὺς βατράχους· καὶ ἀνεβιβάσθη ὁ βάτραχος, καὶ ἐκάλυψε τὴν γῆν Αἰγύπτου.

⁷Ἐποίησαν δὲ ὡσαύτως καὶ οἱ ἐπαοιδοὶ τῶν Αἰγυπτίων ταῖς φαρμακίαις αὐτῶν, καὶ ἀνήγαγον τοὺς βατράχους ἐπὶ γῆν Αἰγύπτου.

⁸Καὶ ἐκάλεσε Φαραὼ Μωυσῆν καὶ Ἀαρὼν, καὶ εἶπεν, εὔξασθε περὶ ἐμοῦ πρὸς Κύριον, καὶ περιελέτω τοὺς βατράχους ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ, καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ ἐμοῦ λαοῦ· καὶ ἐξαποστελῶ αὐτοὺς, καὶ θύσωσι τῷ Κυρίῳ.

⁹Εἶπε δὲ Μωυσῆς πρὸς Φαραὼ, τάξαι πρὸς με πότε εὔξομαι περὶ σοῦ, καὶ περὶ τῶν θεραπόντων σου, καὶ τοῦ λαοῦ σου, ἀφανίσαι τοὺς βατράχους ἀπὸ σοῦ, καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ λαοῦ σου, καὶ ἐκ τῶν οἰκιῶν ὑμῶν, πλὴν ἐν τῷ ποταμῷ ὑπολειφθήσονται.

¹⁰Ὁ δὲ εἶπεν, εἰς αὔριον· εἶπεν οὖν, ὡς εἴρηκας· ἵνα εἰδῇς ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἄλλος πλὴν Κυρίου·

¹¹Καὶ περιαιρεθήσονται οἱ βάτραχοι ἀπὸ σοῦ, καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν οἰκιῶν ὑμῶν, καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ἐπαύλεων, καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν θεραπόντων σου, καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ λαοῦ σου, πλὴν ἐν τῷ ποταμῷ ὑπολειφθήσονται.

¹²Ἐξῆλθε δὲ Μωυσῆς καὶ Ἀαρὼν ἀπὸ Φαραώ· καὶ ἐβόησε Μωυσῆς πρὸς Κύριον περὶ τοῦ ὁρισμοῦ τῶν βατράχων, ὡς ἐτάξατο Φαραώ.

¹³Ἐποιήσε δὲ Κύριος καθάπερ εἶπε Μωυσῆς· καὶ ἐτελεύτησαν οἱ βάτραχοι ἐκ τῶν οἰκιῶν, καὶ ἐκ τῶν ἐπαύλεων, καὶ ἐκ τῶν ἀγρῶν.

¹⁴Καὶ συνήγαγον αὐτοὺς, θημωνίας θημωνίας· καὶ ὤζεσεν ἡ γῆ.

¹⁵Ἰδὼν δὲ Φαραὼ ὅτι γέγονεν ἀνάψυξις, ἐβαρύνθη ἡ καρδία αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ εἰσήκουσεν αὐτῶν, καθάπερ ἐλάλησε Κύριος.

¹⁶Εἶπε δὲ Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν, εἶπον Ἀαρὼν, ἔκτεινον τῇ χειρὶ τὴν ῥάβδον σου, καὶ πάταξον τὸ χῶμα τῆς γῆς· καὶ ἔσονται σκνίφες ἔν τε τοῖς ἀνθρώποις, καὶ ἐν τοῖς τετράποσι, καὶ ἐν πάσῃ γῇ Αἰγύπτου.

¹⁷Ἐξέτεινεν οὖν Ἀαρὼν τῇ χειρὶ τὴν ῥάβδον, καὶ ἐπάταξε τὸ χῶμα τῆς γῆς· καὶ ἐγένοντο οἱ σκνίφες ἐν τοῖς ἀνθρώποις, ἔν τε τοῖς τετράποσι, καὶ ἐν παντὶ χώματι τῆς γῆς ἐγένοντο οἱ σκνίφες.

¹⁸Ἐποίησαν δὲ ὡσαύτως καὶ οἱ ἐπαοιδοὶ ταῖς φαρμακίαις αὐτῶν, ἐξαγαγεῖν τὸν σκνῖφα, καὶ οὐκ ἠδύναντο· καὶ ἐγένοντο οἱ σκνίφες ἔν τε τοῖς ἀνθρώποις, καὶ ἐν τοῖς τετράποσιν.

¹⁹Εἶπαν οὖν οἱ ἐπαοιδοὶ τῷ Φαραῷ, δάκτυλος Θεοῦ ἐστι τοῦτο· καὶ ἐσκληρύνθη ἡ καρδία Φαραὼ, καὶ οὐκ εἰσήκουσεν αὐτῶν, καθάπερ ἐλάλησε Κύριος.

²⁰Εἶπε δὲ Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν, ὄρθρισον τὸ πρωΐ, καὶ στῆθι ἐναντίον Φαραώ· καὶ ἰδοὺ αὐτὸς ἐξελεύσεται ἐπὶ τὸ ὕδωρ· καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς αὐτὸν, τάδε λέγει Κύριος, ἐξαπόστειλον τὸν λαόν μου, ἵνα μοι λατρεύσωσιν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ.

²¹Ἐὰν δὲ μὴ βούλει ἐξαποστεῖλαι τὸν λαόν μου, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐξαποστέλλω ἐπὶ σὲ, καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς θεράποντάς σου, καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν λαόν σου, καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς οἴκους ὑμῶν, κυνόμυιαν· καὶ πλησθήσονται αἱ οἰκίαι τῶν Αἰγυπτίων τῆς κυνομυίης, καὶ εἰς τὴν γῆν ἐφʼ ἧς εἰσιν ἐπʼ αὐτῆς.

²²Καὶ παραδοξάσω ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ τὴν γῆν Γεσὲμ, ἐφʼ ἧς ὁ λαός μου ἔπεστιν ἐπʼ αὐτῆς, ἐφʼ ἧς οὐκ ἔσται ἐκεῖ ἡ κυνόμυια· ἵνα εἰδῇς ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς πάσης τῆς γῆς.

²³Καὶ δώσω διαστολὴν ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ ἐμοῦ λαοῦ, καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ σου λαοῦ· ἐν δὲ τῇ αὔριον ἔσται τοῦτο ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.

²⁴Ἐποίησε δὲ Κύριος οὕτως· καὶ παρεγένετο ἡ κυνόμυια πλῆθος εἰς τοὺς οἴκους Φαραὼ, καὶ εἰς τοὺς οἴκους τῶν θεραπόντων αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἰς πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν Αἰγύπτου· καὶ ἐξωλοθρεύθη ἡ γῆ ἀπὸ τῆς κυνομυίης.

²⁵Ἐκάλεσε δὲ Φαραὼ Μωυσῆν καὶ Ἀαρὼν, λέγων, ἐλθόντες θύσατε Κυρίῳ τῷ Θεῷ ὑμῶν ἐν τῇ γῇ.

²⁶Καὶ εἶπε Μωυσῆς, οὐ δυνατὸν γενέσθαι οὕτως· τὰ γὰρ βδελύγματα τῶν Αἰγυπτίων θύσομεν Κυρίῳ τῷ Θεῷ ἡμῶν· ἐὰν γὰρ θύσωμεν τὰ βδελύγματα τῶν Αἰγυπτίων ἐναντίον αὐτῶν, λιθοβοληθησόμεθα.

²⁷Ὁδὸν τριῶν ἡμερῶν πορευσόμεθα εἰς τὴν ἔρημον· καὶ θύσομεν τῷ Θεῷ ἡμῶν, καθάπερ εἶπεν Κύριος ἡμῖν.

²⁸Καὶ εἶπε Φαραὼ, ἐγὼ ἀποστέλλω ὑμᾶς, καὶ θύσατε τῷ Θεῷ ὑμῶν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ· ἀλλʼ οὐ μακρὰν ἀποτενεῖτε πορευθῆναι· εὔξασθε οὖν περὶ ἐμοῦ πρὸς Κύριον.

²⁹Εἶπε δὲ Μωυσῆς, ὁ δὲ ἐγὼ ἐξελεύσομαι ἀπὸ σοῦ, καὶ εὔξομαι πρὸς τὸν Θεὸν, καὶ ἀπελεύσεται ἡ κυνόμυια καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν θεραπόντων σου, καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ λαοῦ σου αὔριον· μὴ προσθῇς ἔτι Φαραὼ ἐξαπατῆσαι, τοῦ μὴ ἐξαποστεῖλαι τὸν λαὸν θῦσαι Κυρίῳ.

³⁰Ἐξῆλθε δὲ Μωυσῆς ἀπὸ Φαραὼ, καὶ ηὔξατο πρὸς τὸν Θεόν.

³¹Ἐποίησε δὲ Κύριος καθάπερ εἶπε Μωυσῆς· καὶ περιεῖλε τὴν κυνόμυιαν ἀπὸ Φαραὼ, καὶ τῶν θεραπόντων αὐτοῦ, καὶ τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐ κατελείφθη οὐδεμία.

³²Καὶ ἐβάρυνε Φαραὼ τὴν καρδίαν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπὶ τοῦ καιροῦ τούτου, καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησεν ἐξαποστεῖλαι τὸν λαόν.
