Exodus 9 (MFO) · Opened

1Wa Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi oben Mosẹs bi, “Rọhng ka Phero, atza agbaakh-ẹ bi, Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi kw'abaHiburu obeni bi, ‘Tte anọng paam ọbọhk bẹ afona, ifha bẹ atza akpobh-m.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.

2Idikha abhumi bi atte bẹ ọbọhk, achin ororo abọkha bẹ ahok,But if you continue to restrain them and refuse to let them go,

3kaam Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi ńgọhkha bọng nkwuri s'ideden k'etzirakpo py'ewobh k'owoni, py'ede: nnyanyaang, ọmaana abhaam, ọmaana akamẹl, ọmaana andaamogbodo, ọmaana arukhimaan ttara avu.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.

4Yina, kaam Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi ńgọmi etzirakpo py'anọng p'Israẹl ewobha, k'etzirakpo py'anọng p'Ijip. Otzirattọhk manda vani f'anọng p'Israẹl kópe.’ ”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.’”

5Mando kw'Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi okhe ogbe, oben bi, “Ophyini wọ kwa kaam Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi ńsi odik nwa m'irek nna.”The LORD set a time, saying, “Tomorrow the LORD will do this in the land.”

6Ewu ehobh mẹ, Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi osi mach'obeni. Etzirakpo py'anọng p'Ijip epe biphyir, yina, otzirattọhk manda vani f'anọng p'Israẹl f'ope kode.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.

7Mẹ wọ ofon, Phero ọtzọhm ajinọng bani bẹ atza adọhn odik nwa, bẹ are bi, ode odik-ọkka bi, otzirattọhk manda vani f'anọng p'Israẹl f'ọkk'ọpa, kode. Kaambi mẹ wọ, Phero ochina ororo ọgaangi eho, obhum bi, otte anọng p'Israẹl ọbọhk bẹ afona.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.

8Mẹ wọ, Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi oben Mosẹs ọmaana Aarọn bi, “Bọng kpokhi ọtzọtzọhng-khọhma ka nkwukha ka mbọhkpattem sabọng, tte Mosẹs okwuri ọtzọtzọhng-khọhma nwa k'iwokhi, Phero obe mẹ ore.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.

9Itzọtzọhng nna íyaami mach'ọkpọm makhọra irerek s'Ijip, sẹ ín-itzima aphyi p'anwa ibhan ikwu, p'asi anọngeya, ọmaana nden makhọra irek nna.”It will become fine dust over all the land of Egypt, and festering boils will break out on man and beast throughout the land.”

10Mẹ wọ, bẹ akpokhi ọtzọtzọhng-khọhma ka nkwukha, akwu abe Phero k'itzitzikha. Mosẹs ọtzọkha sẹ okwuri k'iwokhi, aphyi p'anwa ibhan abhona anọngẹya ọmaana etzirakpo bi wooii.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.

11Wa anọng p'am-asi mbọhng, bẹ Mosẹs k'itzitzikha kafha abe, okhuri aphyi p'asi bẹ, ọmaana anọng p'Ijip biphyir.The magicians could not stand before Moses, because the boils had broken out on them and on all the Egyptians.

12Yina, Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi osi Phero odo eho ọgaangi, itzọhng koyong ọnang Mosẹs ọmaana Aarọn, mach'Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi okk'Mosẹs ọgbaakha.But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he would not listen to them, just as the LORD had said to Moses.

13Mẹ wọ, Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi oben Mosẹs bi, “Bina atza akwunga Phero okpebhamma, aben-ẹ bi, Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi, kw'ode Ibinọkpaabyi kw'abaHiburu 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, 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.

14Oni mando ode, m'ogbe nwa, kaam nna ngọhkha kọ ọmaana akhaan-nọng pọ nkwuri s'ideden, ifha kọ aronga bi, ọnọng kw'ode macha kaam, makhọra ọyagbin, kode.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.

15Ọban bi, nnamanda ira nkk'ettuma ndọhma nnang kọ ọmaana anọng pọ, ttara nkwuri s'ira nkk'bọng ifha, mbiri ndimi bọng m'ọyagbin.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.

16Yina, odik kw'osi nttọ-ọ ọbọhk, awobha akpen ode bi, ifha are ẹfa chaam, ọmaana bi, bẹ afha asi ẹjaakhi cha che chaam makhọra ọyagbin.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.

17Kọ atzima am-age-oge anang anọng paam bi, atte bẹ ọbọhk, bẹ afona.Still, you lord it over My people and do not allow them to go.

18Mẹ wọ, ophyini k'ogbe-dema nwa, kaam ndebh arọngda p'apyibhi ọtzam ayọhnga arọngda p'akk'atta ttẹwọr kẹ da Ijip ọmaan maa, apyiri ma.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.

19Tzọhm ẹkkaabha bẹ atzima etzirakpo pyọ, ọmaana ọttọhk kpenamkpen fọ f'owobh k'owoni atzima adim k'ikhira, okhuri bi, arọngda mba atzebhi, anọngeya ọmaana etzirakpo py'eni k'ikhira ewobh, épe-ope.’ ”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.’”

20Mẹ wọ, akhaan-nọng pa Phero p'akhaam ojora f'atzim p'Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi, afona m'ẹbhar-ẹbhar atza atzọkha atzọhmnọng pabẹ, ọmaana etzirakpo pyabẹ, atzima adim k'ẹtzaanga.Those among Pharaoh’s officials who feared the word of the LORD hurried to bring their servants and livestock to shelter,

21Yina, ayok mbuma p'asi itzimabhaang k'atzim p'Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi, atte atzọhmnọng pabẹ, ọmaana etzirakpo pyabẹ ọbọhk k'owoni.but those who disregarded the word of the LORD left their servants and livestock in the field.

22Mẹ wọ e, Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi on-oben Mosẹs bi, “Nemi ọbọhk kwọ atzena k'ẹrọng, ifha arọngda atzebh anọngeya ọmaana etzirakpo, ttara ọttọhk kpenamkpen f'omeni k'iwoni s'anọng p'Ijip.”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.”

23Mada Mosẹs onemi ochikhura kwẹ otzena k'ẹrọng, Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi ọtzọhm ẹbhaangkpon ọmaana arọngda, ẹbhaangkpon ẹmani k'irek. Mẹ wọ, Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi otzebh arọngda k'obhon kw'Ijip.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.

24Arọngda atzebh, ẹbhaangkpon ẹmani edimi, ẹmani edimi, arọngda mba bọ iwa apyibhi ọtzam ayọhnga p'akk'atta ttẹwọr kẹ da Ijip ọmaan maa, okwu ode obhon.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.

25Arọngda mba afhu anọngẹya ọmaana etzirakpo k'Ijip, ọmaana nchi ttara ọttọhk kpenamkpen f'omeni k'iwoni.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.

26Ibẹ ibungisẹ s'iwa arọngda mba an-atzebhi ide ka Goshẹn, kẹ da iwa anọng p'Israẹl arukhi.The only place where it did not hail was in the land of Goshen, where the Israelites lived.

27Mando kwa Phero oyeri Mosẹs ọmaana Aarọn ọgbaak bẹ bi, “Kaam nkk'ẹkhọhngkwuri nsa m'ogbe nwa, Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi wọ otzor-otzor, kaam ọmaana anọng paam bọ mọkhaam ottotto.Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron. “This time I have sinned,” he said. “The LORD is righteous, and I and my people are wicked.

28Bọng zi njọhm anang Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi bi, ọkwọbha ẹbhaangkpon ttara arọngda, kkeri py'ẹkk'ẹhaabha kpọng. Kaam ńtte bọng ọbọhk otte bọng afona, bọng kakhaambi, abira achina ororo awobha ma.”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.”

29Mosẹs obhin-ẹ bi, “Idikha nkk'obhon ọbọhk ntta mfona, kaam ḿmẹma mbọhk saam ńzi njọhm nang Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi, mmaangkpon ńkwọbha ọtta-ọtta, arọngda abira ákwọbha otzetzebh. Mẹ kw'atzima aronga bi, Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi wọ ọkhaam ọyagbin.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.

30Yina, kaam nnong kẹ bi, kọ ọmaana akhaan-nọng pọ, ojora f'Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi, kw'ode Ibinọkpaabyi atzima am-akhaama.”But as for you and your officials, I know that you still do not fear the LORD our God.”

31(Wa ngwugwuma ọmaana abarli akhibhi, da iwa abarli akk'akhora, ngwugwuma mbiri nwọm.(Now the flax and barley were destroyed, since the barley was ripe and the flax was in bloom;

32Yina, awit kàkhibhi okhuri da iwa bẹ ani akhori m'ogbe nwa).but the wheat and spelt were not destroyed, because they are late crops.)

33Mando kwa Mosẹs obin oji Phero, otte obhon ọbọhk, ọtza ọmẹma mbọhk otzena Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi ozi njọhm, mmaangkpon nkwọbha ọtta-ọtta, arọngda akwọbha ottotto, ẹrọng ebire ẹkwọbha otzetzebh.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.

34Mada Phero ore bi ẹrọng, ọmaana arọngda, ttara mmaangkpon ikk'ikwọbha, obiro osi ẹkhọngkwuri. Kẹ ttara akhaan-nọng pẹ abira achina ororo agaangi eho.When Pharaoh saw that the rain and hail and thunder had ceased, he sinned again and hardened his heart—he and his officials.

35Mẹ wọ e, Phero ochina ororo ọbar ettem, anọng p'Israẹl ọbọhk kokher otte bẹ afona, mach'Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi okk'Mosẹs otzima ọgbaak.So Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he would not let the Israelites go, just as the LORD had said through Moses.
