Exodus 9 (LUG) · Opened

1Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Genda ewa Falaawo omugambe nti, Mukama Katonda wa Abaebbulaniya agambye nti, ‘Leka abantu bange bagende, bansinze.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.

2Singa ogaana okubakkiriza okugenda, n’oyongera okubakuumira wano,But if you continue to restrain them and refuse to let them go,

3Mukama ajja kusindika nsotoka omukambwe ennyo mu magana go agali mu malundiro, ne mu mbalaasi ne mu ndogoyi, ne mu ŋŋamira, ne mu zisseddume z’ente ne mu ndiga.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.

4Naye Mukama ajja kwawulamu amagana aga Isirayiri n’aga Misiri, waleme kubaawo nsolo n’emu efa mu magana ag’abaana ba Isirayiri.’ ”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.’”

5Mukama n’alonda ekiseera, n’agamba nti, “Enkya Mukama w’anaakolera ekintu kino mu nsi eno.”The LORD set a time, saying, “Tomorrow the LORD will do this in the land.”

6Era enkeera Mukama n’akola ekikolwa ekyo: amagana aga Misiri gonna ne gafa, naye ne wataba nsolo n’emu ku magana ag’abaana ba Isirayiri eyafa.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.

7Falaawo n’atuma abantu okwetegereza, ne basanga nga tewali wadde ensolo n’emu ey’abaana ba Isirayiri eyali efudde. Naye era omutima gwa Falaawo ne gusigala nga gukyakakanyadde, Abayisirayiri n’atabakkiriza kugenda.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.

8Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa ne Alooni nti, “Muyoole mu kyokero embatu z’omunyale, Musa agumanse waggulu mu bbanga nga ne Falaawo alaba.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.

9Gujja kufuuka nfuufu mu nsi yonna ey’e Misiri, guleete amayute ku bantu ne ku nsolo aganaatulikamu amabwa mu nsi yonna ey’e Misiri.”It will become fine dust over all the land of Egypt, and festering boils will break out on man and beast throughout the land.”

10Bwe batyo ne bayoola omunyale mu kyokero, ne bagenda bayimirira mu maaso ga Falaawo. Musa n’amansa evvu waggulu mu bbanga, ne lifuuka amayute, ne gatulikamu amabwa ku bantu ne ku nsolo.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.

11Abalogo ne batasobola kuyimirira mu maaso ga Musa olw’amayute; kubanga amayute gaakwata abalogo n’Abamisiri bonna.The magicians could not stand before Moses, because the boils had broken out on them and on all the Egyptians.

12Naye Mukama n’akakanyaza omutima gwa Falaawo, n’atawuliriza Musa ne Alooni, era nga Mukama bwe yagamba Musa.But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he would not listen to them, just as the LORD had said to Moses.

13Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Ozuukuka mu makya nnyo, n’ogenda oyolekera Falaawo, n’omugamba nti, Mukama Katonda wa Abaebbulaniya agamba bw’ati nti, ‘Leka abantu bange bagende, bampeereze.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.

14Kubanga ku mulundi guno nzija kukusindikira kawumpuli ku ggwe kennyini, ne ku baweereza bo, ne ku bakungu bo, olyoke otegeere nga tewali ali nga nze mu nsi yonna.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.

15Kubanga nandiyinzizza okugolola omukono gwange ne nkusindikira olumbe, ggwe n’abantu bo, ne lubamalawo ku nsi.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.

16Naye olw’ensonga eno kyennava nkuleka n’obeera mulamu, ndyoke njolese amaanyi gange, era n’erinnya lyange liryoke litegeezebwe mu nsi yonna.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.

17Kyokka okyekulumbaliza ku bantu bange n’otobakkiriza kugenda,Still, you lord it over My people and do not allow them to go.

18noolwekyo, enkya obudde nga bwe buti, nzija kusindika kibuyaga ow’omuzira ogw’amayinja ogutagwangako mu Misiri kasookedde ensi eyo ebaawo.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.

19Kale, lagira bayingize amagana go ag’ente, n’ebisolo byonna ebiri mu ddundiro, kubanga omuzira gujja kukuba buli muntu ali ebweru era ajja kufa; ne buli nsolo yonna eneebeera ebweru mu ddundiro gujja kugikuba efe.’ ”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.’”

20Abakungu ba Falaawo abaali batya ekigambo kya Mukama, ne banguwa ne bayingiza abaddu baabwe n’amagana gaabwe.Those among Pharaoh’s officials who feared the word of the LORD hurried to bring their servants and livestock to shelter,

21Naye abo abatassaayo mwoyo ku kigambo kya Mukama ne baleka abaddu baabwe n’amagana gaabwe ebweru.but those who disregarded the word of the LORD left their servants and livestock in the field.

22Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Golola omukono gwo eri eggulu, omuzira gugwe ku nsi yonna ey’e Misiri: gukube abantu, n’ensolo, ne buli kimera kyonna ekiri mu nnimiro mu Misiri.”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.”

23Musa n’ayolekeza omuggo gwe eri eggulu; Mukama n’asindika okubwatuka n’omuzira; laddu ne yakira ku ttaka. Bw’atyo Mukama n’atonnyesa omuzira ku nsi y’e Misiri.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.

24Omuzira ne gugwa, n’okumyansa ne kwetabika n’omuzira awatali kusalako, ne guba mungi nnyo, nga tegugwangako bwe gutyo kasookedde ensi ya Misiri efuuka ggwanga.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.

25Omuzira gwakuba buli kintu kyonna ekyali ebweru mu nnimiro mu nsi yonna ey’e Misiri: abantu n’ensolo; era omuzira ne gukuba buli kimera kyonna mu nnimiro, ne gusensebula emiti gyonna ku ttale.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.

26Ekitundu kyokka ekitaatuukwamu muzira, kye kya Goseni, abaana ba Isirayiri gye baabeeranga.The only place where it did not hail was in the land of Goshen, where the Israelites lived.

27Awo Falaawo n’atumya Musa ne Alooni, n’abagamba nti, “Leero luno nnyonoonye; Mukama ye mutuufu, naye nze n’abantu bange ffe bakyamu.Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron. “This time I have sinned,” he said. “The LORD is righteous, and I and my people are wicked.

28Weegayirire Mukama; kubanga omuzira n’okubwatuka bitwetamizza. Nzija kubaleka mugende; siraba kyemuva mweyongera kubeera wano.”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.”

29Musa n’addamu nti, “Olunaafuluma mu kibuga, nnaagolola emikono gyange waggulu eri Mukama ne mmusaba. Okubwatuka kunaasirika, n’omuzira gunaalekera awo okugwa; olyoke otegeere ng’ensi eno Mukama ye nannyini yo.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.

30Kyokka mmanyi nga ggwe n’abakungu bo temunnatya Mukama Katonda.”But as for you and your officials, I know that you still do not fear the LORD our God.”

31(Obugoogwa ne sayiri byakubwa ne bizikirizibwa, kubanga sayiri yali ayengera nga n’obugoogwa bumulisizza.(Now the flax and barley were destroyed, since the barley was ripe and the flax was in bloom;

32Naye eŋŋaano n’omukyere, byo tebyayonoonebwa kubanga byali tebinnayengera.)but the wheat and spelt were not destroyed, because they are late crops.)

33Musa n’ava mu kibuga ewa Falaawo, n’awanika emikono gye eri Mukama ng’amusaba; okubwatuka n’omuzira ne bisirika, era n’enkuba n’ekya.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.

34Naye Falaawo bwe yalaba enkuba, n’omuzira, n’okubwatuka nga birekeddaawo, ate ne yeeyongera okusobya; ye n’abakungu be ne bakakanyaza emitima gyabwe.When Pharaoh saw that the rain and hail and thunder had ceased, he sinned again and hardened his heart—he and his officials.

35Omutima gwa Falaawo bwe gutyo ne gukakanyala; n’ataleka baana ba Isirayiri kugenda, era nga Mukama bwe yayogerera mu Musa.So Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he would not let the Israelites go, just as the LORD had said through Moses.
