Exodus 9 (HATBSA)

1Alò, SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Ale bò kote Farawon e pale avèk li: ‘Konsa pale SENYÈ a, Bondye a Ebre yo: Kite pèp Mwen an ale, pou yo kapab sèvi Mwen.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.

2Paske si ou refize kite yo ale, e kontinye kenbe yo,But if you continue to restrain them and refuse to let them go,

3gade byen, men Bondye va vini avèk yon epidemi byen sevè sou bèt ki nan chan ou yo, sou cheval yo, sou bourik yo, sou chamo yo, sou twoupo yo, ak sou bann mouton yo.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.

4Men SENYÈ a va distenge antre bèt Israël yo avèk bèt Ejipsyen yo, pou okenn pa mouri nan sa ki pou fis Israël yo.’”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.’”

5SENYÈ a te etabli yon tan detèmine, e Li te di: “Demen SENYÈ a va fè bagay sa a nan peyi a.”The LORD set a time, saying, “Tomorrow the LORD will do this in the land.”

6Alò, SENYÈ a te fè bagay sa a nan jou ki te vini an, e tout bèt Égypte yo te mouri; men pou bèt fis Israël yo, pa gen youn ki te mouri.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.

7Farawon te voye, e gade byen, pa menm youn nan bèt Israël yo pa t mouri. Men kè Farawon te vin di, e li pa t kite pèp la ale.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.

8Alò SENYÈ a te di a Moïse avèk Aaron: “Pran kèk men plen avèk poud chabon ki sòti nan fou kanari yo, e kite Moïse voye li vè syèl la devan zye a Farawon.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.

9Li va vin fè yon poud fen ki kouvri tout peyi Égypte la, e li va devni gwo bouton k ap pete tankou maleng ni sou moun ni sou bèt.”It will become fine dust over all the land of Egypt, and festering boils will break out on man and beast throughout the land.”

10Alò yo te pran chabon ki sòti nan fou kanari yo, e yo te kanpe devan Farawon; epi Moïse te voye li vè syèl la, e li te devni gwo bouton k ap pete tankou maleng ni sou moun, ni sou bèt.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.

11Majisyen yo pa t kab kanpe devan Moïse akoz bouton yo, paske bouton yo te sou majisyen yo menm jan ak tout Ejipsyen yo.The magicians could not stand before Moses, because the boils had broken out on them and on all the Egyptians.

12Men SENYÈ a te fè kè Farawon vin di, e li pa t koute yo, jan ke SENYÈ a te di a Moïse la.But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he would not listen to them, just as the LORD had said to Moses.

13Alò, SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Leve granmmaten e kanpe devan Farawon pou di li: ‘Konsa pale SENYÈ a, Bondye a Ebre yo: Kite pèp Mwen an ale, pou yo kapab sèvi Mwen.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.

14Paske fwa sa a, Mwen va voye tout fleyo Mwen yo sou kè ou, avèk sèvitè ou yo, avèk pèp ou a, pou ou kab konnen ke nanpwen lòt tankou Mwen sou tout latè.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.

15“‘Paske si Mwen te deja lonje men M pou frape ou ak pèp ou a avèk epidemi, nou t ap deja disparèt sou latè.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.

16Men vrèman, pou rezon sa a, Mwen kite nou la jiska prezan: pou M kapab montre nou pouvwa Mwen e pwoklame pouvwa Mwen sou tout latè.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.

17Malgre sa, ou toujou monte tèt ou kont pèp Mwen an, lè ou refize kite yo ale.Still, you lord it over My people and do not allow them to go.

18“‘Gade byen, vè lè sa a demen, Mwen va voye lagrèl byen gwo, tankou yo pa janm wè an Égypte depi lè li te fonde, jiska prezan.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.

19Alò, pou sa, mennen bèt nou yo avèk nenpòt sa nou gen nan chan an anba pwoteksyon. Chak moun oswa bèt ki twouve yo nan chan an, e ki pa mennen lakay yo, lè lagrèl la vin desann sou yo, yo va mouri.’”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.’”

20Sèman sila pami sèvitè Farawon yo ki te krent pawòl SENYÈ a te fè pwòp sèvitè li yo avèk bèt li yo sove ale nan kay yo.Those among Pharaoh’s officials who feared the word of the LORD hurried to bring their servants and livestock to shelter,

21Men sila ki pa t okipe sa yo, te kite sèvitè li yo avèk bèt li yo nan chan an.but those who disregarded the word of the LORD left their servants and livestock in the field.

22Alò, SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Lonje men ou vè syèl la, pou lagrèl kapab tonbe sou tout tè Égypte la, sou moun, sou bèt, e sou chak plan nan chan tout kote nan peyi Égypte la.”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.”

23Moïse te lonje baton li vè syèl la, e SENYÈ a te voye zeklè, loray avèklagrèl, avèk gwo kout dife ki te kouri rive jis atè. Konsa, SENYÈ a te fè lagrèl desann sou tout tè Égypte la.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.

24Alò te gen lagrèl, avèk dife ki te lanse, ki t ap vòltije tout tan nan mitan lagrèl la, byen sevè, jan peyi Égypte la pa t janm wè depi li te devni yon nasyon.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.

25Lagrèl la te frape tout sa ki te nan chan nan tout pati an Égypte, ni moun, ni bèt. Lagrèl la te frape osi chak plan nan chan an epi te chire an mòso chak bwa nan chan an.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.

26Sèlman nan peyi Gosen an, kote fis Israël yo te ye a, pa t gen lagrèl la.The only place where it did not hail was in the land of Goshen, where the Israelites lived.

27Alò, Farawon te voye kote Moïse avèk Aaron, e te di yo: “Mwen te peche fwa sa a. SENYÈ a se sila ki dwat la, epi mwen avèk pèp mwen an se nou ki mechan.Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron. “This time I have sinned,” he said. “The LORD is righteous, and I and my people are wicked.

28Fè lapriyè bay SENYÈ a, paske te gen kont tonnè avèk lagrèl. Mwen va kite nou ale, e nou p ap rete ankò.”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.”

29Moïse te di li: “Depi mwen kite vil la, m ap ouvri men m bay SENYÈ a. Tonnè a va sispann, e p ap gen lagrèl ankò, pou ou kapab konnen ke tè a se pou SENYÈ a.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.

30Men pou ou menm, avèk sèvitè ou yo, mwen konnen ke nou poko krent SENYÈ Bondye a.”But as for you and your officials, I know that you still do not fear the LORD our God.”

31Alò pye koton swa yo avèk lòj la te gate, paske lòj la te fè gwo tèt, e koton swa a t ap boujonnen.(Now the flax and barley were destroyed, since the barley was ripe and the flax was in bloom;

32Men ble a avèk pitimi a pa t gate paske yo te vin mi pita.but the wheat and spelt were not destroyed, because they are late crops.)

33Alò, Moïse te kite vil la sòti devan Farawon, e li te lonje men li vè SENYÈ a; epi tonnè avèk lagrèl la te sispann, e lapli pa t tonbe sou latè ankò.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.

34Men lè Farawon te wè ke lapli avèk tonnè a te sispann, li te peche ankò, e li te andisi kè l, li menm avèk sèvitè li yo.When Pharaoh saw that the rain and hail and thunder had ceased, he sinned again and hardened his heart—he and his officials.

35Kè Farawon te vin di, e li pa t kite fis Israël yo ale, jan SENYÈ a te pale ak Moïse la.So Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he would not let the Israelites go, just as the LORD had said through Moses.
