Exodus 8 (MSY2020)

1Egha Ikiavɨra Itir God Moses mɨgei, “Nɨ mangɨ atrivim mɨkɨm suam, ‘Ikiavɨra Itir God ghaze, “Nan gumazamiziba ateghtɨ me mangɨ, egh nan ziam fam.”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.

2Egh nɨ aghuaghtɨ, kɨ pazɨ nɨ damutɨ mɨtiviba nɨn kantrin nguazim bar anevaragham.But if you refuse to let them go, I will plague your whole country with frogs.

3Eghtɨ Nailɨn Fanem mɨtiviba a gizɨvagh, egh anetegh mangɨ, nɨn dɨpenir ekiamɨn mangam. Egh nɨ akuir mɨsiam ko, nɨn dakozim ko, nɨn ingangarir gumazibar dɨpeniba ko, nɨn gumazamizibar dɨpeniba ko, nɨn bretba tuer danganiba ko, bretbar ingarir mɨneba, mɨtiviba bar dar mangam.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.

4Egh da uari akunɨva, nɨ ko nɨn gumazamiziba, ko nɨn ingangarir gumaziba, da bar ian ghuavanangam.’ ”The frogs will come up on you and your people and all your officials.’”

5Egha Ikiavɨra Itir God Moses mɨgei, “Nɨ Aron mɨkemeghtɨ, a uan agharir asadivir aghorimɨn suirazim amadagh. Egh Isipɨn Faneba ko daghuriba ko dɨpar akarebagh isɨn a ghufegh, mɨtivibar amightɨ, da dɨpam ategh anang Isipɨn nguazim bar anevaragh.”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.’”

6Ezɨ Aron uan agharim isa anemadagha dɨpabagh isɨn a ghufezɨ, mɨtiviba azenan iza nguazim gizɨfa.So Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt, and the frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt.

7Ezɨ imezibagh amir gumaziba uan mogomer akavsiaba inigha uaghan kamaghɨra dagh amizɨ, mɨtiviba nguazimɨn otifi.But the magicians did the same thing by their magic arts, and they also brought frogs up onto the land of Egypt.

8Egha atrivim Moses ko Aronɨn dɨagha aning mɨgei, “Gua Ikiavɨra Itir God mɨkemeghtɨ, a mɨtiviba e dama da batokegh. Eghtɨ kɨ nɨn gumazamiziba ateghtɨ, me mangɨ Ikiavɨra Itir God bagh ofa damuam.”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.”

9Ezɨ Moses a ikara, “Kɨ nɨ bagha God ko mɨkɨmasa bar akonge. Nɨ dughiatam ginabaghtɨ, kɨ nɨ ko nɨn ingangarir gumaziba, ko nɨn gumazamiziba, ia bagh God ko mɨkɨmam. Eghtɨ mɨtiviba ia ategh, tam ua ikian kogham. Da Nailɨn Fanemra ikiam.”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?”

10Ezɨ atrivim ghaze, “Nɨ gurumɨn na bagh God ko mɨkɨmam.” Ezɨ Moses a mɨgei, “Nɨ nan azarazɨ moghɨn, kɨ damuam. Eghtɨ nɨ fogh suam, godɨn tam Ikiavɨra Itir God, en Godɨn mɨn itir puvatɨ.“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.

11Eghtɨ nɨ uabɨ, ko nɨn dɨpeniba, nɨn ingangarir gumaziba, ko nɨn gumazamiziba, mɨtiviba bar ia ategh mangɨ Nailɨn Fanemra ikiam.”The frogs will depart from you and your houses and your officials and your people; they will remain only in the Nile.”

12Egha Moses ko Aron atrivim ategha ghugha, Moses pamten Ikiavɨra Itir God ko mɨgɨa ghaze, a mɨtivir a faragha atrivim bagha amadaziba, a da batuegham.After Moses and Aaron had left Pharaoh, Moses cried out to the LORD for help with the frogs that He had brought against Pharaoh.

13Ezɨ Ikiavɨra Itir God Moses an azarazɨ moghɨn ami, ezɨ mɨtivir dɨpenibar itiba, ko mɨtivir dɨpenir dɨvazibar aven itiba, ko mɨtivir azenibar itiba, da bar tintinibar ariaghire.And the LORD did as Moses requested, and the frogs in the houses, the courtyards, and the fields died.

14Ezɨ Isipɨn gumazamiziba dar kuaba akuvagha pozir avɨribav kɨni. Ezɨ da kurima, dar mughuriam Isipɨn nguazim bar anevara.They were piled into countless heaps, and there was a terrible stench in the land.

15Ezɨ atrivim gari, mɨtiviba ariaghirezɨ, Ikiavɨra Itir God mɨkemezɨ moghɨn, an navim ua gavgavizɨ, a Moses ko Aron baraghan aghua.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.

16Egha Ikiavɨra Itir God Moses mɨgei, “Nɨ Aron mɨkemeghtɨ, a uan asadivir aghorim isɨ nguazim mɨsueghtɨ, Isipɨn nguazimɨn itir mɨneziba bar ragh itibar otifigh.”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.’”

17Egha aning kamaghɨn amigha, Aron uan asadivir aghorimɨn nguazim mɨsoghezɨ, Isipɨn itir nguazir mɨneziba bar, ragha itibar otivigha, gumazamiziba ko asɨziba avara.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.

18Ezɨ imezibagh amir gumaziba uaghan uan mogomer akavsiaba inigha, itibar amightɨ da otivasa, ezɨ men imeziba ingarir puvatɨ. Ezɨ itiba bar danganibar ikia, gumazamiziba ko asɨziba avara.The magicians tried to produce gnats using their magic arts, but they could not. And the gnats remained on man and beast.

19Ezɨ imezibagh amir gumaziba, atrivim kamaghɨn a mɨgei, “God uabɨ bizir kam gami!” Ezɨ atrivimɨn navim gavgavizɨ, Ikiavɨra Itir God mɨkemezɨ moghɨn, a Moses ko Aron baraghan aghua.“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.

20Egha Ikiavɨra Itir God kamaghɨn Moses mɨgei, “Gurum mɨzaraghara atrivim dɨpamɨn mangɨtɨ, nɨ mangɨ a batogh a mɨkɨm suam, ‘Ikiavɨra Itir God kamaghɨn mɨgei, Nɨ nan gumazamiziba ateghtɨ me mangɨ, egh nan ziam fam.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.

21Nɨ oragh, nɨ aghuaghtɨ, kɨ berezir avɨriba amadaghtɨ da izɨ, nɨ uabɨ ko, nɨn ingangarir gumaziba, nɨn gumazamiziba ko, ian dɨpeniba bar ia bagh izam. Egh Isipɨn dɨpeniba bar bereziba izɨvaghva, nguazir ia apiaghav itiba bar da avaragham.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.

22Eghtɨ dughiar kamɨn, kɨ Gosenɨn Distrighɨn ganam, egh aneteghtɨ, berezitam an ikian kogham. Distrighɨn kam, nan gumazamiziba an iti. Kɨ kamaghɨn damightɨ nɨ fogh suam, kɨ Ikiavɨra Itir God, kɨ nguazir kamɨn ingara iti.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.

23Egh kɨ uan gumazamiziba ko nɨn gumazamiziba tuiragh, egh uan gumazamizibar akurvagh, nɨn gumazamizibar akurvaghan kogham. Nɨ gan, gurumzaraghan arazir kam otivam.’ ”I will make a distinction between My people and your people. This sign will take place tomorrow.’”

24Ezɨ Ikiavɨra Itir God arazir kam gami. Egha berezir avɨrim amadazɨ, da atrivimɨn dɨpenir ekiam ko, an ingangarir gumazibar dɨpenibagh izɨfa. Egha Isipɨn nguazim, bereziba bar anevarazɨ, a bar ikufi.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.

25Egha atrivim Moses ko Aronɨn dɨagha aning mɨgei, “Ia mangɨ, kantrin kamɨn averiamra, ofa isɨ uan God danɨng.”Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “Go, sacrifice to your God within this land.”

26Ezɨ Moses kamaghɨn a ikaragha ghaze, “E kantrin kamɨn aven, uan Godɨn ofa damightɨ, a deraghan kogham. Guizbangɨra, e asɨzir Isipia ofa gamir puvatɨziba, e da isɨ Ikiavɨra Itir God en Godɨn ofa damightɨ, me asɨzir kabar ganigh naviba en ikuvigh, en atarɨva, egh dagɨaba e ginivightɨ, e arɨmɨghiregham. Kamaghɨn, e kagh ofa damuan kogham.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?

27Egh Ikiavɨra Itir God, en God, akar gavgavim e mɨkemezɨ moghɨn, e aruer 3plan mangɨ gumazamiziba puvatɨzir danganimɨn mangɨ ofa damuam.”We must make a three-day journey into the wilderness and sacrifice to the LORD our God as He commands us.”

28Ezɨ atrivim ghaze, “Kɨ ia ateghtɨ, ia mangɨ gumazamiziba puvatɨzir danganimɨn mangɨ, Ikiavɨra Itir God ian Godɨn ofa damu, egh bar saghon mangan kogham. Aria, gua na bagh God ko mɨkɨm.”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.”

29Ezɨ Moses kamaghɨn a ikaragha ghaze, “Kɨ nɨ ategh mangɨ, dughiar kamra kɨ nɨ bagh Ikiavɨra Itir God ko mɨkemeghtɨ, gurumɨn bereziba mangɨ, nɨ ko nɨn ingangarir gumaziba ko nɨn gumazamiziba ategham. Nɨ orakigh, nɨ ua e gifaran markɨ, egh kamaghɨn mɨkɨman kogh suam, en gumazamiziba mangɨ uan Ikiavɨra Itir Godɨn ofa damuan kogham. Bar markɨ.”“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.”

30Egha Moses atrivim ategha ghugha Ikiavɨra Itir God ko mɨgei,Then Moses left Pharaoh and prayed to the LORD,

31ezɨ Moses an azarazɨ moghɨra, Ikiavɨra Itir God ami. Ezɨ bereziba atrivimɨn ingangarir gumaziba ko an gumazamiziba, bar me ategha ghuezɨ, tam ua bar itir puvatɨ.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.

32Ezɨ dughiar kam atrivimɨn navim ua gavgavizɨ, a gumazamiziba ateghtɨ me mangan an aghua.But Pharaoh hardened his heart this time as well, and he would not let the people go.
