Exodus 9 (ASG) · Opened

1Ɗa Vuzavaguɗu u danai Musa, <<Bana u FiriꞋauna vu dana yi ili i na Vuzavaguɗu u danai, <Ili i na Vuzavaguɗu Ka̱shile ka aza Ibirahi ka danai i ɗaɗa na, <<Ka̱sukpa̱ uma a̱ va̱ a laza adama a na a bana a cikpa mu.>>Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh and tell him that this is what the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, says: ‘Let My people go, so that they may worship Me.

2Ama vi iwan baci kuka̱sukpa̱ le, ɗa vi lyaꞋi kelime n kuka̱na̱ le,But if you continue to restrain them and refuse to let them go,

3Vuzavaguɗu wi ta̱ a̱ kusuku m ma̱dukpa̱ a̱ ubuta̱ wi ilikuzuwa i ɗa̱ i na i tsu guɓa, nraɗika, ni njaki, n odoku, n arakuma, n anaka koɓolo ni nkyon.then the hand of the LORD will bring a severe plague on your livestock in the field—on your horses, donkeys, camels, herds, and flocks.

4Ama Vuzavaguɗu wi ta̱ a kukanza kuzuwa ka aza a Isaraila ka̱ta̱ u ka̱sukpa̱ ka aza a Masar, adama a na ko kuzuwa ku te ka aza a Isaraila ki lo a̱ kukuwa̱ ba.> >>But the LORD will make a distinction between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt, so that no animal belonging to the Israelites will die.’”

5Vuzavaguɗu u zuwai ayin ɗa u danai, <<MkpaꞋa mi ta̱ a kuyaꞋan ili i nampa punu a iɗika ya.>>The LORD set a time, saying, “Tomorrow the LORD will do this in the land.”

6Ana kayin ka asai, ɗa ta na Vuzavaguɗu u yaꞋin nannai. Ɗa kuzuwa ka aza a Masar ra̱ka̱ ku kuwa̱i, ama ko winja u te u kuzuwa wa aza Isaraila u kuwa̱ ba.And the next day the LORD did just that. All the livestock of the Egyptians died, but not one animal belonging to the Israelites died.

7Ɗa FiriꞋauna u zuwai uma adama a na o goɗumo, ɗa a cinai mayun ɗa, ko manama me te ma aza a Isaraila ma̱ kuwa̱ ba. Ama FiriꞋauna u buwa ta̱ n ugbamukaci, u iwain kuka̱sukpa̱ uma a a laza.Pharaoh sent officials and found that none of the livestock of the Israelites had died. But Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he would not let the people go.

8Ɗa Vuzavaguɗu u danai Musa n Haruna, <<Shatangi ekiye a̱ ɗa̱ n kokomo ka na ki lo e kenle, ka̱ta̱ Musa u bula̱ngu kaꞋa lo a̱ wunla̱i a̱ a̱shi a FiriꞋauna.Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “Take handfuls of soot from the furnace; in the sight of Pharaoh, Moses is to toss it into the air.

9Kubuta̱ ku kokomo ka ki ta̱ a̱ kuka̱ra̱Ꞌa̱ a iɗika i Masar dem. Ayin a nanlo mɓa̱la̱ ma amici mi ta̱ a̱ kuka̱na̱ ikyamba i uma nu nnama dem, punu a iɗika i Masar.>>It will become fine dust over all the land of Egypt, and festering boils will break out on man and beast throughout the land.”

10Ɗa e kenuki kokomo e kenle ɗa a lazai a banai a̱ ubuta̱ u FiriꞋauna, ɗa Musa u vishangi kokomo ka a̱ wunla̱i e kelime ka FiriꞋauna, ɗa gogo lo amici a̱ ka̱na̱i yaba dem a̱ ubuta̱ wa ali nu nnama dem.So they took soot from the furnace and stood before Pharaoh. Moses tossed it into the air, and festering boils broke out on man and beast.

11Ali n oboci a feu a fuɗa a shamgba kelime ka Musa ba, adama a na ele feu amici a̱ ka̱na̱ le ta̱ koɓolo n aza a Masar a na a buwai dem.The magicians could not stand before Moses, because the boils had broken out on them and on all the Egyptians.

12Ama ɗa Vuzavaguɗu u doku u zuwai FiriꞋauna u yaꞋin ugbamukaci ɗa u iwain kupanaka le, uteku tsu na Vuzavaguɗu u danai Musa ɗe.But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he would not listen to them, just as the LORD had said to Moses.

13Ɗa Vuzavaguɗu u danai Musa, <<Ɗa̱nga̱ mkpaꞋa n usana vu bana u FiriꞋauna vu dana yi, <Ili i na Vuzavaguɗu u danai i ɗaɗa na, <<Ka̱sukpa̱ uma a̱ va̱ a laza a bana a cikpa mu.Then the LORD said to Moses, “Get up early in the morning, stand before Pharaoh, and tell him that this is what the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, says: ‘Let My people go, so that they may worship Me.

14Ko kpamu n gogo na mi ta̱ a̱ kusuꞋuku wu m ma̱dukpa̱, avu n aza gba̱ra̱-gba̱ra̱ a̱ nu, n uma a̱ nu dem. Adama a na vi yeve babu vuza na wi tsu va̱ punu a aduniyan dem.Otherwise, I will send all My plagues against you and your officials and your people, so you may know that there is no one like Me in all the earth.

15Mi ishi baci de m faba wu ɗe n uma a̱ nu m ma̱dukpa̱, vi ishi a kubuwa lo n wuma a aduniyan a nampa ba.For by this time I could have stretched out My hand and struck you and your people with a plague to wipe you off the earth.

16Ama n ka̱sukpa̱ wu ta̱ n wuma adama a na n yotsongu wu utsura u va̱. Ka̱ta̱ uma a sala kula ku va̱ aduniyan ra̱ka̱.But I have raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display My power to you, and that My name might be proclaimed in all the earth.

17Ama ali n gogo na vu buwai a kucikpa ka̱ci ka̱ nu, ɗa vi iwain kuka̱sukpa̱ le a laza.Still, you lord it over My people and do not allow them to go.

18MkpaꞋa nahannai mi ta̱ o kuyoꞋo mini ma atali ma wuya-wuya ma na ka̱ta̱ a saꞋwai kuyoꞋo ba, ali n ayin a na a yaꞋin iɗika i Masar.Behold, at this time tomorrow I will rain down the worst hail that has ever fallen on Egypt, from the day it was founded until now.

19Dana uma o bonoko n ilikuzuwa i nu n ili i na vi ni ɗa pulai dem a kpaꞋa, adama a na vuza na baci ko manama ma na mi pulai ma na mini ma atali ma saꞋwai mi ta̱ a̱ kukuwa̱.>> > >>So give orders now to shelter your livestock and everything you have in the field. Every man or beast that remains in the field and is not brought inside will die when the hail comes down upon them.’”

20Aza a gba̱ra̱-gba̱ra̱ a FiriꞋauna o yoku a na i a kupana wovon wi ili i na Vuzavaguɗu u danai, ɗa a yaꞋin gogoꞋo o bonokoi agbashi e le n kuzuwa ku le asuvu a kpaꞋa.Those among Pharaoh’s officials who feared the word of the LORD hurried to bring their servants and livestock to shelter,

21Ama aza a na a̱ kpa̱ɗa̱i kukeɓece n kadanshi ka Vuzavaguɗu a̱ ka̱sukpa̱i kuzuwa ku le n agbashi e le feu pulai.but those who disregarded the word of the LORD left their servants and livestock in the field.

22Ɗa Vuzavaguɗu u danai Musa, <<Ɗengusa̱ kukiye ku nu a kubana gaɗi adama a na mini ma atali ma̱ yikpa̱ u uma dem nu nnama n ica̱Ꞌa̱shi ya ashina a Masar.>>Then the LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward heaven, so that hail may fall on all the land of Egypt—on man and beast and every plant of the field throughout the land of Egypt.”

23Ɗa Musa u ɗengusa̱i kalangu ka̱ ni gaɗi, ɗa Vuzavaguɗu u yaꞋin ulaɗi u gbangam u na u tsu akana ali a̱ kuta̱wa̱ a iɗika, ɗa u lapai akpanga ɗa u yoꞋi mini ma atali a iɗika i Masar dem.So Moses stretched out his staff toward heaven, and the LORD sent thunder and hail, and lightning struck the earth. So the LORD rained down hail upon the land of Egypt.

24Mini ma atali n ulaɗi ka̱u nannai, u saꞋwa kuyaꞋan a iɗika i Masar ba. Nava ɗaɗa mini ma atali ma gbani-gbani ma na a saꞋwai kuyaꞋan a iɗika i Masar ali n ayin a na e yevei ubuta̱ u nanlo n kula Masar.The hail fell and the lightning continued flashing through it. The hail was so severe that nothing like it had ever been seen in all the land of Egypt from the time it became a nation.

25A iɗika i Masar dem mini ma atali ma̱ la̱nga̱sa̱i ili i na yi e keteshe ra̱ka̱, uma nu nnama dem. Ma̱ la̱nga̱sa̱i ica̱Ꞌa̱shi dem, ali mo koɗosoi nɗanga ra̱ka̱.Throughout the land of Egypt, the hail struck down everything in the field, both man and beast; it beat down every plant of the field and stripped every tree.

26Ama ubuta̱ u na u kpa̱ɗa̱i kuyoꞋo mini ma atali ma koci u ɗaɗa Goshon, ubuta̱ u na aza a Isaraila i.The only place where it did not hail was in the land of Goshen, where the Israelites lived.

27Ɗa FiriꞋauna u suki a bana e ɗeke Musa n Haruna, ɗa u danai, <<Gogo na n yaꞋan ta̱ unushi, Vuzavaguɗu mayun ɗa wi, ama mpa n uma a̱ va̱ ci n ukuna u mayun ba.Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron. “This time I have sinned,” he said. “The LORD is righteous, and I and my people are wicked.

28Tsu folono wu ta̱ folonoko tsu Vuzavaguɗu, akpanga m mini ma atali ma na Ka̱shile ka̱ suꞋuki tsu va ma yawa tsu ta̱. Mi ta̱ a̱ kuka̱sukpa̱ ɗa̱ i laza gogo na, yo kudoku ya shamgba na ba.>>Pray to the LORD, for there has been enough of God’s thunder and hail. I will let you go; you do not need to stay any longer.”

29Ɗa Musa wu ushuki, <<Gogo na mu uta̱ baci pulai vi likuci mi ta̱ a̱ kuɗa̱ngusa̱ ekiye a̱ va̱ gaɗi n vasa. Ayin a na baci mini ma atali n akpanga a shamgbai vi ta̱ e kuyeve iɗika ya yi ta̱ ekiye a Vuzavaguɗu.Moses said to him, “When I have left the city, I will spread out my hands to the LORD. The thunder will cease, and there will be no more hail, so that you may know that the earth is the LORD’s.

30Ama n yeve ta̱ avu n aza gba̱ra̱-gba̱ra̱ a̱ nu ya kupana wovon u Ka̱shile Vuzavaguɗu ba.>>But as for you and your officials, I know that you still do not fear the LORD our God.”

31A ayin a na lo falas m bali a̱ na̱mgba̱ ta̱ ra̱ka̱ adama a̱ mini ma atali ma, bali a̱ kupusa̱ falas tamkpamu a kuyaꞋan a̱pa̱lu.(Now the flax and barley were destroyed, since the barley was ripe and the flax was in bloom;

32Ama alkama n ityawan i na̱mgba̱ ba adama a na ayin e kugeꞋwe e le a yawa ba.but the wheat and spelt were not destroyed, because they are late crops.)

33Ana Musa u ka̱sukpa̱i ubuta̱ u FiriꞋauna a pulai vi likuci ɗa u ɗengusa̱i ekiye a̱ ni gaɗi, ɗa u ka̱na̱i avasa u Vuzavaguɗu. Ɗaɗa mini ma atali n akpanga a shamgbai, ɗa mini ma̱ ka̱sukpa̱i kuyoꞋo a iɗika ya dem.Then Moses departed from Pharaoh, went out of the city, and spread out his hands to the LORD. The thunder and hail ceased, and the rain no longer poured down on the land.

34Ana FiriꞋauna we ene mini, m mini ma atali n akpanga a ma laza ta̱, ɗa u yaꞋin unushi kpamu. A̱yi n aza a̱ gba̱ra̱-gba̱ra̱ a̱ ni a kpanduki a̱ɗu e le.When Pharaoh saw that the rain and hail and thunder had ceased, he sinned again and hardened his heart—he and his officials.

35Ɗa FiriꞋauna u doku u kpanduki ka̱ɗu ka̱ ni, ɗa u sa̱nka̱i aza a Isaraila ku laza, uteku u na Vuzavaguɗu u danai Musa ɗe.So Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he would not let the Israelites go, just as the LORD had said through Moses.
