Exodus 9 (MKW) · Opened

1Yave tubaka na Moyize: «Kwenda na sika ya Falawo mpe zabisa yandi ti, Yave Nzambi ya ba-Ebeleyo, ke na kutumisa nge mutindu yayi: “Bika bantu ya munu, samu ti ba kwenda sadila munu.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.

2Kana nge manga dyaka na kubika ti bawu kwenda, kana nge tatamana na kusimbidila bawu,But if you continue to restrain them and refuse to let them go,

3Yave ke balukila bibulu ya nge yina ke na kati ya matiti. Yandi ke balukila bampunda, bambuluku, basamo, bangombe, mameme na bankombo. Kiyoolo ya ngolo ke kuzwa bawu.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.

4Yave ke sala luswaswanu na yina me tadila bibulu ya bantu ya Isayeli, na bibulu ya bantu ya Ngipiti. Ata kibulu mosi ve ya bana nyonso ya Isayeli ke kufwa!”»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.’”

5Yave kubikaka ntangu yina yandi ke sadila mambu yina, ntangu yandi tubaka: «Mbasi, Yave ke sala dyambu yayi na yinsi.»The LORD set a time, saying, “Tomorrow the LORD will do this in the land.”

6Mpe na kilumbu yina landaka, Yave salaka dyambu yango: Bibulu nyonso ya bantu ya Ngipiti kufwaka mpe ata kibulu mosi ve ya bana ya Isayeli kufwaka.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.

7Falawo, ntinu ya Ngipiti, fidisaka bantu na kwenda kuzwa bansangu. Bawu zabisaka yandi ti ata kibulu mosi ve ya bana ya Isayeli kufwaka. Kasi Falawo, ntinu ya Ngipiti, kangaka dyaka ntima ya yandi. Yandi mangaka na kubika ti bantu ya Isayeli kukwenda.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.

8Yave tubaka na Moyize na Aloni: «Beno baka bombi na kati ya kifuule ya nene, beno fulusa maboko. Moyize ke losa yawu na zulu, na mantwala ya Falawo, ntinu ya Ngipiti.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.

9Bombi yango ke mwangana na yinsi nyonso ya Ngipiti mutindu fundu-fundu. Yawu ke basisa mawumbu yina ke buta bamputa ya mafinya na bantu mpe na bibulu, na yinsi nyonso ya Ngipiti.»It will become fine dust over all the land of Egypt, and festering boils will break out on man and beast throughout the land.”

10Moyize na Aloni bakaka bombi ya kifuule. Bawu kwendaka telama na mantwala ya Falawo, ntinu ya Ngipiti. Moyize losaka bombi yango na zulu, mpe yawu basisaka mawumbu yina butaka bamputa ya mafinya na sika ya bantu mpe na bibulu.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.

11Bantu ya bampandu lendaka ve na kwiza talana na mantwala ya Moyize samu na bamputa yina. Samu ti bawu mpe, bawu kuzwaka bamputa mutindu bantu nyonso ya Ngipiti.The magicians could not stand before Moses, because the boils had broken out on them and on all the Egyptians.

12Kasi Yave salaka ti Falawo, ntinu ya Ngipiti, kukanga ntima ya yandi. Falawo, ntinu ya Ngipiti, tumamaka ve na Moyize na Aloni. Yawu salamaka mutindu Yave tubaka na Moyize.But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he would not listen to them, just as the LORD had said to Moses.

13Yave tubaka na Moyize: «Mbasi na suka-suka, nge ke telama na kukwenda na sika ya Falawo, ntinu ya Ngipiti. Nge ke zabisa yandi ti, Yave Nzambi ya ba-Ebeleyo, ke na kutuba mutindu yayi: “Bika bantu ya munu kukwenda samu na kusadila munu.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.

14Samu ti na mbala yayi, mu ke fidisa bimbevo na bampasi ya konso mutindu. Mu ke fidisa yawu na nge mosi, na bantu yina ke salaka na nge, mpe na bantu ya nge, samu ti, nge zaba ti, ya kele ve na muntu yina me fwanana na munu na yinza nyonso.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.

15Kana mu lambulaka diboko ya munu samu na kufidisa beno kiyoolo, nge na bantu ya nge, beno zolaka zimbana na ntoto yayi.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.

16Kasi kana mu me bika ti nge zinga dyaka, ya kele samu na kulakisa nge ngolo ya munu, mpe samu ti nkumbu ya munu kuzabakana na yinza nyonso.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.

17Kana nge tatamana na kukanga bantu ya munu nzila, mpe nge bika ve ti bawu kwenda,Still, you lord it over My people and do not allow them to go.

18mbasi, kaka na ngunga yayi, mu ke nokisa mvula ya ngolo ya matadi mutindu yawu me salamaka ntete ve na yinsi yayi ya Ngipiti, katuka mbandukulu ya yawu tii ntangu yayi.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.

19Ntangu yayi, baka bibulu ya nge na bima ya nge nyonso yina kele na matiti, bumbisa yawu na kisika ya mbote. Konso muntu to kibulu yina ke vwanda na bilanga, kana bawu vutuka ve na yinzo, mvula ya matadi ke bwidila bawu, mpe bawu ke kufwa.”»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.’”

20Na kati ya bantu yina vwandaka sala na Falawo, ntinu ya Ngipiti, ya vwandaka na bayina talaka ti mambu ya Yave vwandaka ya mfunu. Bawu bumbisaka bisadi ya bawu mpe bibulu ya bawu na kati ya bayinzo.Those among Pharaoh’s officials who feared the word of the LORD hurried to bring their servants and livestock to shelter,

21Kasi bayina talaka ti mambu ya Yave vwandaka kaka mambu ya mpamba, bawu bikaka bisadi ya bawu mpe bibulu ya bawu na kati ya matiti.but those who disregarded the word of the LORD left their servants and livestock in the field.

22Yave tubaka na Moyize: «Nanguna diboko ya nge na zulu. Bika ti mvula ya matadi kunoka na yinsi nyonso ya Ngipiti. Bika ti yawu kunoka na zulu ya bantu, na zulu ya bibulu mpe na zulu ya bilanga nyonso ya yinsi ya Ngipiti.»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.”

23Moyize nangunaka yinti ya yandi na zulu. Yave wakisaka bidumu mpe yandi nokisaka mvula ya matadi. Banzasi vwandaka kubwa mingi na ntoto. Yave nokisaka mvula ya matadi na yinsi ya Ngipiti.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.

24Mvula ya matadi nokaka na banzasi. Mvula ya nsisi ya mutindu yina me salamaka ntete ve na yinsi nyonso ya Ngipiti, kubanda ntangu yina Ngipiti kumaka yinsi.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.

25Na yinsi nyonso ya Ngipiti, mvula ya matadi bebisaka bima nyonso yina vwandaka ve na kati ya babwala, ya vwanda bantu to bibulu. Mvula yango bebisaka bikuni mpe bayinti nyonso.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.

26Kaka ni na Ngosene, kisika yina vwandaka bana ya Isayeli mvula ya matadi nokaka ve.The only place where it did not hail was in the land of Goshen, where the Israelites lived.

27Na yina, Falawo bokilaka Moyize na Aloni, yandi tubaka na bawu: «Na mbala yayi, mu me sala disumu. Ni Yave kele ya kudedama. Munu na bantu ya munu beto me sala yimbi.Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron. “This time I have sinned,” he said. “The LORD is righteous, and I and my people are wicked.

28Beno sambila Yave samu na kusukisa bidumu ya Nzambi na mvula ya matadi. Mu ke bika beno kwenda. Mu ke simbidila dyaka beno ve.»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.”

29Moyize vutulaka: «Ntangu mu ke basika na mbanza, mu ke nanguna maboko na sika ya Yave. Bidumu ke dingama, mvula ya matadi ke manisa, samu ti, nge zaba ti, ntoto kele ya Yave.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.

30Kasi mu zaba ti nge na bantu yina ke salaka na nge, beno ke banda ve na kuzitisaka Yave, Nzambi.»But as for you and your officials, I know that you still do not fear the LORD our God.”

31Bikuni yina vwandaka me fula mpe yina vwandaka me basisa bambuma bebaka.(Now the flax and barley were destroyed, since the barley was ripe and the flax was in bloom;

32Kasi bikuni ya nkaka bebaka ve, samu ti bikuni yango vwandaka me fula ntete ve, mpe vwandaka me basisa ntete ve bambuma.but the wheat and spelt were not destroyed, because they are late crops.)

33Moyize basikaka na sika ya Falawo, ntinu ya Ngipiti, mpe na mbanza. Yandi nangunaka maboko na sika ya Yave. Bidumu dingamaka mpe mvula ya matadi manisaka. Mvula mpe bikaka na kunoka na yinsi.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.

34Ntangu Falawo, ntinu ya Ngipiti, talaka ti mvula bikaka na kunoka, bidumu dingamaka mpe mvula ya matadi manisaka, yandi tatamanaka na kusala masumu: Yandi kangaka ntima ya yandi, yandi na bantu yina ke salaka na yandi.When Pharaoh saw that the rain and hail and thunder had ceased, he sinned again and hardened his heart—he and his officials.

35Ntima ya Falawo, ntinu ya Ngipiti, vwandaka kaka ya kukangama. Yandi bikaka ve ti bana ya Isayeli kukwenda. Yawu salamaka mutindu Yave tubaka yawu na Moyize.So Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he would not let the Israelites go, just as the LORD had said through Moses.
