Exodus 9 (GOFL)

1Goday Museko, “Gibxe kawako bada, Goday, Ibraaweta Xoossay neeko, ‘Enti taw goyinnana mela ta asaa yedda.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.

2Neeni enta yeddonna ixiko,But if you continue to restrain them and refuse to let them go,

3taani ne parata bolla, ne hareta bolla, ne gimaleta bolla, ne mehiya bolla, ne dorsata bollanne ne deeshata bolla iita gado yeggana.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.

4Shin taani Goday Isra7eele asaa mehiya giddoninne Gibxe asaa mehiya giddon dummatethi medhana. Isra7eele asaa mehiyape issoyka hayqenna.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.’”

5Wonto taani hessa oothana gidi Goday wode qanxis’ yaaga” yaagis.The LORD set a time, saying, “Tomorrow the LORD will do this in the land.”

6Wontetha gallas Goday gidaysada oothis. Gibxe asaa mehe ubbay hayqis, shin Isra7eele asaa mehiyape issoyka hayqibeenna.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.

7Kawoy hanidabaanne Isra7eeleta mehiyape hari attoshin issoyka hayqonaysa ase kiittidi, oychidi eris. Shin ha77ika iya wozanay muumida gisho asaa yeddonna ixis.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.

8Hessafe guye, Goday Musenne Aarona, “Coocepe bido kuuci ekidi, kawoy be7ishin bolla dharcite.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.

9Hessi Gibxe biitta ubbaa bolla baana gididi laaletana. Gibxe biittan de7iya asaa bollanne mehey bolla kixa gado ehana” yaagis.It will become fine dust over all the land of Egypt, and festering boils will break out on man and beast throughout the land.”

10Enti coocepe guutha bido ekidi kawa sinthan eqidosona. Musey hessa bolla laallin, asaa bollanne mehiya bolla kixa gadoy wodhi aggis.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.

11Gibxe asaa bolla wodhida kixay marota bollaka wodhida gisho Muse sinthan eqanaw danda7ibookona.The magicians could not stand before Moses, because the boils had broken out on them and on all the Egyptians.

12Shin Goday Muses gidaysa mela, kawoy ba wozana muumisida gisho, Musenne Aarona si7onna ixis.But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he would not listen to them, just as the LORD had said to Moses.

13Hessafe guye, Goday Museko, “Kawako guura denda bada, ‘Goday, Ibraaweta Xoossay, taw goyinnana mela ta asaa yedda.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.

14Ha77i ne ixas giiko, ne moorinnatanne ne asaa xalaala gidonashin ne bollaka iita gado ehana. He wode alame ubban Godi ta xalaala gideysa neeni erana.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.

15Taani ta kushiya denthada nenanne ne asaa gadon shocidaba gidiyako ha77i gakanaw hinte biitta bolla de7eketashin.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.

16Shin ta sunthay biitta ubban eretana mela taani ta wolqaa bessanaw nena de7on wothas.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.

17Neeni ha77ika otortada ta asaa yeddonna ixadasa.Still, you lord it over My people and do not allow them to go.

18Taani wonto hannoode Gibxe biittay medhotosape hachi gakanaw buki eronna wolqaama shachi bukisana.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.

19Ha77i neeni ne mehiyanne karen de7iyaba ubbaa elle soo gelsana mela kiitta. Soo gelonna asaa bollanne mehiya ubbaa bolla shachi bukidi, enta wodhana yaagees’ yaaga” yaagis.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.’”

20Kawa moorinatape issoti issoti Goday gidaysa si7idi yayyida gisho, banta aylletanne banta meheta soo gelsidosona.Those among Pharaoh’s officials who feared the word of the LORD hurried to bring their servants and livestock to shelter,

21Shin harati Goday gidaysa si7onna ixidi banta aylletanne banta mehiya karen aggaagidosona.but those who disregarded the word of the LORD left their servants and livestock in the field.

22Hessafe guye, Goday Museko, “Gibxe biitta ubbaa bolla, asa bolla, mehiya bollanne gaden de7iya katha bolla shachi bukana mela ne kushiya salo dentha” yaagis.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.”

23Musey ba xam7aa salo denthida wode, Goday wolqaama deshonne wol7anthi yeddis. Hessada oothidi Goday Gibxen shachi bukisis.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.

24Goday gedera haara wolqaama wol7anthi yeddis. Hessa melabay Gibxe biittan asi doosape hani erenna.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.

25He shachay Gibxen de7iya asaanne mehiya shocis. Gaden de7iyaba, mithinne maata ubbaa dhaysis.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.

26Isra7eeleti de7iya Geesame biitta xalaalan shachi bukibeenna.The only place where it did not hail was in the land of Goshen, where the Israelites lived.

27Kawoy Musenne Aarona xeegisidi, “Taani ha77i nagara oothas. Goday tumancho; taaninne ta asay bala.Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron. “This time I have sinned,” he said. “The LORD is righteous, and I and my people are wicked.

28Deshoynne shachay nu bolla daridi un7ethida gisho nuus Godaa woossite. Taani hintena yeddana; hizape hinte haysan gam7eketa” yaagis.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.”

29Musey iyako, “Taani ha katamaape keyida wode ta kushiya denthada Godaa woossana. Deshoynne shachay eqiya wode sa7ay Godaaba gideysa neeni hessan erana.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.

30Shin nenne ne moorinnati ha77ika Godaa Xoossa yayyonnaysa taani erayis” yaagis.But as for you and your officials, I know that you still do not fear the LORD our God.”

31Talbay ciishshe, bangay qorxa gidiya gisho ubbay shachan dhayis.(Now the flax and barley were destroyed, since the barley was ripe and the flax was in bloom;

32Shin gisteynne murqay gakiboonna gisho shachan dhaybeenna.but the wheat and spelt were not destroyed, because they are late crops.)

33Musey kawa matape keyidi, katamaape gaxaa bidi ba kushiya denthidi Godaa woossis. Yaatin deshoy, shachaynne iray ellesidi eqi aggis.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.

34Shin kawoy he ubbay eqidaysa be7ida wode zaaridi nagara oothis. Iyaranne iya moorinnatara banta wozana gujidi minthidosona.When Pharaoh saw that the rain and hail and thunder had ceased, he sinned again and hardened his heart—he and his officials.

35Goday Muse baggara odidaysa mela kawa wozanay muumin, Isra7eeleta yeddonna ixis.So Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he would not let the Israelites go, just as the LORD had said through Moses.
