Exodus 8 (MFO) · Opened

1Mẹ wọ, Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi oben Mosẹs bi, “Rọhng atza gbaak Phero bi, ‘Kaam Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi mbeni bi, tte otte anọng paam ọbọhk bẹ afona ifha bẹ akwu akpobh-m.Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh and tell him that this is what the LORD says: ‘Let My people go, so that they may worship Me.

2Idikha obhumi bi, otte bẹ ọbọhk bẹ afona, kaam ndọhm awọribọhk k'ọhaabh makhọra ẹkhọma chẹ biphyir.But if you refuse to let them go, I will plague your whole country with frogs.

3Ọraanga kwa Nile on-ofu ttara awọribọhk. Awọribọhk mba an-abira anyaami k'ọvaar-dimpa kwẹ maa, apyiri k'ẹmaanggọ chẹ ọmaana k'iyimabe sẹ, ttara k'ihọhm s'akhaan-nọng pẹ, ọmaana k'ihọhm s'anọng pẹ maa, apyiri k'ibe sa bẹ am-asi ọchattọhk fẹ.The Nile will teem with frogs, and they will come into your palace and up to your bedroom and onto your bed, into the houses of your officials and your people, and into your ovens and kneading bowls.

4Awọribọhk mba ágbe anan-ẹ, ọmaana anọng pẹ, ttara akhaan-nọng pẹ ka for.’ ”The frogs will come up on you and your people and all your officials.’”

5Mẹ wọ, Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi oben Mosẹs bi, “Gbaak Aarọn bi, onemi ọbọhk kwẹ ttara ochikhura kwẹ k'ọraanga, ọmaana ka mmen ttara ka nsipe, ifha awọribọhk ayin makhọra irek s'Ijip.”And the LORD said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Stretch out your hand with your staff over the rivers and canals and ponds, and cause the frogs to come up onto the land of Egypt.’”

6Mando kw'Aarọn onemi ọbọhk kwẹ otzena k'asi p'Ijip biphyir, awọribọhk ayin makhọra Ijip.So Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt, and the frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt.

7Yina, anọng p'am-asi mbọhng k'Ijip abira akwu asi mfhọna sabẹ, awọribọhk ayin makhọra irek s'Ijip.But the magicians did the same thing by their magic arts, and they also brought frogs up onto the land of Egypt.

8Mẹ wọ, Phero oyeri Mosẹs ọmaana Aarọn, oben bi, “Bọng nzi njọhm akhukhi Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi, ifha ọrọbha awọribọhk mba k'ọhọhm kwaam, ọmaana k'ihọhm s'anọng paam, kaam ńtte anọng mba ọbọhk otte bẹ afona atza asi ẹjafọhni anang Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi kwabẹ.”Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “Pray to the LORD to take the frogs away from me and my people. Then I will let your people go, that they may sacrifice to the LORD.”

9Mosẹs oben Phero bi, “Kaam ntte odik kpenamkpen ọbọhk nnang-ọ bi, akhe ogbe kwa kaam nzi njọhm k'eho chọ, ọmaana ch'akhaan-nọng pọ, ttara anọng pọ bi, ayongi awọribọhk p'an-arik k'ọraanga kwa Nile, awọribọhk atte ẹhọhmmọr chọ, ọmaana nhọhmmọr s'anọng pọ ọbọhk, otte.”Moses said to Pharaoh, “You may have the honor over me. When shall I pray for you and your officials and your people that the frogs (except for those in the Nile) may be taken away from you and your houses?”

10Mẹ wọ, Phero oben bi, “Ophyin e.” Mosẹs obhina bi, “Kwẹ óde-ode mach'abeni, ifha aronga bi, ọnọng kode kwa ode mach'Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi, kw'ode Ibinọkpaabyi kwaman.“Tomorrow,” Pharaoh answered. “May it be as you say,” Moses replied, “so that you may know that there is no one like the LORD our God.

11Awọribọhk átte kọ, ọmaana ebhonmọr chọ ọbọhk otte, ọmaana akhaan-nọng pọ, ttara anọng pọ, k'ọraanga kwa Nile wọ kwa bẹ an-arik.”The frogs will depart from you and your houses and your officials and your people; they will remain only in the Nile.”

12Mada Mosẹs ọmaana Aarọn abin aji Phero, Mosẹs ozi njọhm, ọgbaak Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi odik kwa okhuri awọribọhk p'ọkk'ọtzọhma ọnang Phero.After Moses and Aaron had left Pharaoh, Moses cried out to the LORD for help with the frogs that He had brought against Pharaoh.

13Mẹ wọ, Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi ọbhaanga njọhm sa Mosẹs ophyemi, awọribọhk mba ape k'ihọhm, ọmaana ka ntọhmma-ttem, ttara k'iwoni.And the LORD did as Moses requested, and the frogs in the houses, the courtyards, and the fields died.

14Wa bẹ atzobha awọribọhk mba k'akhung-k'akhung maa, ephyok ch'awọribọhk mba ẹtzọkha irek nna biphyir.They were piled into countless heaps, and there was a terrible stench in the land.

15Yina, mada Phero ore bi awọribọhk dọk kade, odo ettem ọbar, itzọhng dọk koyong ọnang Mosẹs ọmaana Aarọn, mach'iwa Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi okk'obena.When Pharaoh saw that there was relief, however, he hardened his heart and would not listen to Moses and Aaron, just as the LORD had said.

16Mẹ wọ, Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi oben Mosẹs bi, “Ben Aarọn bi, onemi ochikhura kwo otzim k'ọbọhk kwẹ obun k'ọkpọm k'irek, ifha irerek s'Ijip biphyir, ín-ide abubuni-abubuni.”Then the LORD said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Stretch out your staff and strike the dust of the earth, that it may turn into swarms of gnats throughout the land of Egypt.’”

17Mosẹs ọmaana Aarọn asi mach'Ọvaar ọtzọhni bẹ. Mada Aarọn onemi ọbọhk ttara ochikhura kwẹ obun k'ọkpọm k'irek, abubuni ayin abẹ anọng ka for ọmaana nden. Mẹ wọ, ọkpọhm kw'irerek s'Ijip biphyir on-ode abubuni-abubuni.This they did, and when Aaron stretched out his hand with his staff and struck the dust of the earth, gnats came upon man and beast. All the dust of the earth turned into gnats throughout the land of Egypt.

18Chibhi da anọng p'am-asi mbọhng k'Ijip, akhong bi asi mfhọna sabẹ, ifha abubuni abira ayin, bẹ kafha asi. Mẹ wọ, abubuni mba achina ororo abubha anọngẹya ọmaana nden.The magicians tried to produce gnats using their magic arts, but they could not. And the gnats remained on man and beast.

19Anọng mba p'am-asi mbọhng an-aben Phero bi, “Ọbọhk kw'Ibinọkpaabyi owobh m'odik nwa e.” Yina, Phero ochina ororo ọgaangi eho, itzọhng kokher oyonga m'idik nna, mach'iwa Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi okk'obena.“This is the finger of God,” the magicians said to Pharaoh. But Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he would not listen to them, just as the LORD had said.

20Mẹ wọ, Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi oben Mosẹs bi, “Bina k'ekpekpebha, atza akwunga Phero ọmma da ọtza asi k'ọraanga, agbaakh-ẹ bi, ‘Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi obeni bi: Tte anọng paam ọbọhk bẹ afona, ifha bẹ atza akpobh-m.Then the LORD said to Moses, “Get up early in the morning, and when Pharaoh goes out to the water, stand before him and tell him that this is what the LORD says: ‘Let My people go, so that they may worship Me.

21Idikha ani anọng paam ọbọhk atte bẹ afona, kaam ńdọhm araraang k'ọhaabh nchen kọ, ọmaana akhaan-nọng pọ, ọmaana anọng pọ, ttara k'ihọhm sabọng. Araraang áfhu ihọhm s'anọng p'Ijip, bẹ abira abubha k'irerek biphyir.But if you will not let My people go, I will send swarms of flies upon you and your officials and your people and your houses. The houses of the Egyptians and even the ground where they stand will be full of flies.

22“ ‘Yina, m'ewu nduma, kaam ńgọm ẹkhọma cha Goshẹn, ch'anọng paam arukhi nhok, araraang kẹ káde, ifha áronga bi kaam Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi nwobh m'irerek nna.But on that day I will give special treatment to the land of Goshen, where My people live; no swarms of flies will be found there. In this way you will know that I, the LORD, am in the land.

23Kaam nsi odengọmi owobha k'anọng paam ọmaana pọ. Ẹkhọhkha nda ch'épe ọnọng for, étto ophyini.’ ”I will make a distinction between My people and your people. This sign will take place tomorrow.’”

24Mẹ wọ, Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi osi mach'ọgbaakhi, ọtzọhm araraang k'ọhaabh adim k'ọvaar-dimpa kwa Phero, ọmaana k'ihọhm s'akhaan-nọng pẹ. Araraang afhu k'irerek s'Ijip biphyir.And the LORD did so. Thick swarms of flies poured into Pharaoh’s palace and into the houses of his officials. Throughout Egypt the land was ruined by swarms of flies.

25Mẹ wọ, Phero oyeri Mosẹs ọmaana Aarọn, oben bi, “Bọng nọhng atza asi njafọhni anang Ibinọkpaabyi kwabọng m'irerek nna.”Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “Go, sacrifice to your God within this land.”

26Yina, Mosẹs oben bi, “Mma, kwẹ mando kotzor e. Njafọhni s'am-amosi anang Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi, kw'ode Ibinọkpaabyi kwaman, mkpukhi anọng p'Ijip okpukhi. Idikha mon-osi njafọhni sa mkpukhi bẹ, bẹ man atza kátzọbh o?But Moses replied, “It would not be right to do that, because the sacrifices we offer to the LORD our God would be detestable to the Egyptians. If we offer sacrifices that are detestable before the Egyptians, will they not stone us?

27Mẹ wọ, maman ọkhaambi obina orenga kw'iwu ittaan mochina k'ibe s'anọng an-arukhi, ifha mosi njafọhni ọnang Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi, kw'ode Ibinọkpaabyi kwaman, mach'ọtzọhni man.”We must make a three-day journey into the wilderness and sacrifice to the LORD our God as He commands us.”

28Mẹ wọ, Phero oben bi, “Kaam ntte bọng ọbọhk otte bọng atza asi njafọhni anang Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi, kw'ode Ibinọkpaabyi kwabọng k'ibe s'anọng an-arukhi. Yina, bọng kakhaambi afona k'ibe s'ibhir-obhir. Bọng ńzi njọhm anang-m.”Pharaoh answered, “I will let you go and sacrifice to the LORD your God in the wilderness, but you must not go very far. Now pray for me.”

29Mosẹs obhina bi, “Kaam mbin ma, ńzi njọhm ozi nnang Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi. Ophyini araraang mba atte kọ, ọmaana akhaan-nọng pọ, ttara anọng pọ ọbọhk otte. Kọ re bi, Phero bọng dọk kọbọra bi, ọkpa anọng mba eden bi, bẹ aningi njafọhn atza asi anang Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi.”“As soon as I leave you,” Moses said, “I will pray to the LORD, so that tomorrow the swarms of flies will depart from Pharaoh and his officials and his people. But Pharaoh must not act deceitfully again by refusing to let the people go and sacrifice to the LORD.”

30Mẹ wọ, Mosẹs obina oji Phero, otza ozi njọhm ọnang Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi.Then Moses left Pharaoh and prayed to the LORD,

31Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi ọbhaanga njọhm nna sa Mosẹs ophyemi bi, araraang mba atte Phero ọmaana akhaan-nọng pẹ, ttara anọng pẹ ọbọhk. Ẹraraang mada dani ch'ebire erik kede.and the LORD did as Moses requested. He removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh and his officials and his people; not one fly remained.

32Yina, Phero obiro okhebha mẹ ọgaangi eho, anọng mba ọbọhk kokher otte, bẹ afona.But Pharaoh hardened his heart this time as well, and he would not let the people go.
