Exodus 10 (GOFL)

1Hessafe guye, Goday Museko, “Gibxe kawako ba. Taani ha malaatata enta giddon oothanaw koyada kawa wozanaanne iya moorinnata wozana muumisas.Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh, for I have hardened his heart and the hearts of his officials, that I may perform these miraculous signs of Mine among them,

2Taani hessa oothiday ta malaatatan waatada Gibxeta seeridaako hinte hinte naytasinne hinte nayta naytas odana mela koyida gishosa. He wode taani Godaa gideysa hinte erana” yaagis.and that you may tell your children and grandchildren how severely I dealt with the Egyptians when I performed miraculous signs among them, so that all of you may know that I am the LORD.”

3Museynne Aaroni kawako bidi, “Goday, Ibraaweta Xoossay neeko, ‘Neeni taw kiitetethi ixey awude gakanaasee? Tana goyinnana mela ta asaa yedda.So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and told him, “This is what the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, says: ‘How long will you refuse to humble yourself before Me? Let My people go, so that they may worship Me.

4Neeni enta yedo ixiko, wonto ne biitta bolla taani boole yeddana.But if you refuse to let My people go, I will bring locusts into your territory tomorrow.

5Booley darotethaafe dendoysan biitta ubba kammana. Enti shacha gaduwape attida guuthabanne mitha haythi ubbaa maana.They will cover the face of the land so that no one can see it. They will devour whatever is left after the hail and eat every tree that grows in your fields.

6Ne keethaa, ne moorinnata keethaanne Gibxe asaa ubbaa keethaa enti kumana. Hessi ne mayzati ha biittan de7osape hano gakanaw be7ida iitabaape aadhiyaba gidana’ yaagees” yaagidosona. Hessafe guye, Musey kawa sinthafe keyidi bis.They will fill your houses and the houses of all your officials and every Egyptian—something neither your fathers nor your grandfathers have seen since the day they came into this land.’” Then Moses turned and left Pharaoh’s presence.

7Kawa moorinnati kawako, “Ha uray awude gakanaw nuus xihe gidanee? Asay Godaa, banta Xoossaa goyinnana mela enta yedda. Gibxe biittay dhayeysa neeni akeekikii?” yaagidosona.Pharaoh’s officials asked him, “How long will this man be a snare to us? Let the people go, so that they may worship the LORD their God. Do you not yet realize that Egypt lies in ruins?”

8Kawoy Musenne Aarona guye xeegisidi, “Bidi Godaa, hinte Xoossa goynite, shin beysati oonantee?” yaagis.So Moses and Aaron were brought back to Pharaoh. “Go, worship the LORD your God,” he said. “But who exactly will be going?”

9Musey, “Nuuni biya bessan Godaa bonchanaw ba7aale oothana gisho, nuuni nu guutha nayta, nu cimata, nu adde nayta, nu macca nayta, nu dorsatanne nu miizata ekidi issife baana” yaagis.“We will go with our young and old,” Moses replied. “We will go with our sons and daughters, and with our flocks and herds, for we must hold a feast to the LORD.”

10Kawoy, “Hinte hinte naytanne hinte maccasata eki boonna mela taani Godan caaqisayis. Hinte hinte wozanan iitaba qopidaysi eretees.Then Pharaoh told them, “May the LORD be with you if I ever let you go with your little ones. Clearly you are bent on evil.

11Hinte, bidi Godaa goyinnanaw koyaba gidiko addeta xalaala eki biite” yaagis. Hessafe guye, Musenne Aarona kawa sinthafe goodetidi keyidosona.No, only the men may go and worship the LORD, since that is what you have been requesting.” And Moses and Aaron were driven from Pharaoh’s presence.

12Goday Museko, “Booley yidi shacha gaduwape attida ubbaa maana mela ne kushiya Gibxe biitta bolla dentha” yaagis.Then the LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the land of Egypt, so that the locusts may swarm over it and devour every plant in the land—everything that the hail has left behind.”

13Musey ba xam7aa Gibxe biitta bolla denthida wode, Goday doloha bagga carko he qammanne gallas kumethi biitta bolla carkisis. Wontiya wode he carkoy boole ehis.So Moses stretched out his staff over the land of Egypt, and throughout that day and night the LORD sent an east wind across the land. By morning the east wind had brought the locusts.

14Booley Gibxe biitta ubbaa gakidi ma7is. Hessa mela boole gadoy he biittan kaseka hanibeenna; sinthafeka hanenna.The locusts swarmed across the land and settled over the entire territory of Egypt. Never before had there been so many locusts, and never again will there be.

15Biitti dhumana gakanaw booley biitta ubbaa ma7is. He booley shachafe attidi gaden dicciyaba ubbaanne mitha ayfe ubbaa midosona. Gibxe biittan de7iya mitha haythinne cil7oba ubbaa midigis.They covered the face of all the land until it was black, and they consumed all the plants on the ground and all the fruit on the trees that the hail had left behind. Nothing green was left on any tree or plant in all the land of Egypt.

16Kawoy Musenne Aarona ellesi xeegisidi, “Taani Godaa hinte Xoossaanne hintena naaqas.Pharaoh quickly summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “I have sinned against the LORD your God and against you.

17Hiza ta nagara taw issi toho atto giite. Ha dhaysiya gaduwa taape diggana mela Godaa hinte Xoossaa woossite” yaagis.Now please forgive my sin once more and appeal to the LORD your God, that He may remove this death from me.”

18Musey kawa matape keyidi Godaa woossis.So Moses left Pharaoh’s presence and appealed to the LORD.

19Goday wuloha wolqaama carkuwa kiittidi booliya biittafe denthidi, Zo7o Abba yeddis. Gibxe biitta ubban issi booleyka hayqibeenna.And the LORD changed the wind to a very strong west wind that carried off the locusts and blew them into the Red Sea. Not a single locust remained anywhere in Egypt.

20Shin Goday kawa wozanaa muumisida gisho Isra7eeleta yeddonna ixis.But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he would not let the Israelites go.

21Goday Muse, “Gibxe biittan asi oyki be7iya dhumi dhumana mela ne kushiya salo dentha” yaagis.Then the LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward heaven, so that darkness may spread over the land of Egypt—a palpable darkness.”

22Musey ba kushiya salo denthis. Gibxe biitta ubban heedzu gallas kumethi sakana dhumay dhumis.So Moses stretched out his hand toward heaven, and total darkness covered all the land of Egypt for three days.

23He heedzu gallasatan Gibxeti issoy issuwa be7ibookona woyko oonika ba soope keybeenna. Shin Isra7eeleti de7iya Geesamen poo7oy de7ees.No one could see anyone else, and for three days no one left his place. Yet all the Israelites had light in their dwellings.

24Kawoy Muse xeegisidi, “Bidi hinte Godaa goyinnite. Hinte maccasaynne hinte nayti hintera baanaw danda7oosona. Hinte dorsaa wudiyanne hinte miiza wudiya xalaala aggidi biite” yaagis.Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and said, “Go, worship the LORD. Even your little ones may go with you; only your flocks and herds must stay behind.”

25Shin Musey, “Nuuni xuussa yarshonne hara yarsho Godaa Xoossaas yarshana mela mehe neeni nuus immanaw koshshees.But Moses replied, “You must also provide us with sacrifices and burnt offerings to present to the LORD our God.

26Issoyka guye attona nu mehey nuura baanaw koshshees. Godaa, nu Xoossaa goyinnanaw mehiyape dooranaw bessey nuna. Nuuni ya gakonna de7ishe ay mehe yarshaneko eranaw danda7oko” yaagis.Even our livestock must go with us; not a hoof will be left behind, for we will need some of them to worship the LORD our God, and we will not know how we are to worship the LORD until we arrive.”

27Shin Goday kawa wozanaa muumisida gisho, I enta yeddanaw koybeenna.But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he was unwilling to let them go.

28Hessafe guye, kawoy Museko, “Ta sinthafe kicha; ta sinthan zaara bentada nena era. Ta ayfiya ne be7ida gallas hayqana” yaagis.“Depart from me!” Pharaoh said to Moses. “Make sure you never see my face again, for on the day you see my face, you will die.”

29Musey iyako, “Tumaka ne gidaysada neeni ta ayfiya zaarada be7aka” yaagis.“As you say,” Moses replied, “I will never see your face again.”
