Exodus 9 (SHR) · Opened

1Nyakasane anacibwîra Mûsa, erhi: «Genda, ojè emwa Faraoni mwâmi w’e Mîsiri, omubwîre, erhi: Ntya kwo adesire Nyakasane, Nyamuzinda w’Abayahudi: Leka olubaga lwâni lugende, luj’inkolera.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.

2“Okashub’ilahira mpu orhalulîka, okashub’iluhanza”,But if you continue to restrain them and refuse to let them go,

3“okuboko kwa Nyakasane kwarhinda oku masô gali omu mashwa gâwe, oku biterusi, oku bihêsi, oku ngamiya, oku nkâfu n’ebibuzi: àbà mulyamo mukali bwenêne”.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.

4“Nyakasane àhira olubibi omu masô ga bene-Israheli n’ag’Abanya-Mîsiri. Ntà cintu càfà omu masô ga bene-Israheli.”»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.’”

5Nyakasane anacitwa amango, erhi: «Irhondo Nyakasane akola ebyo omu cihugo.»The LORD set a time, saying, “Tomorrow the LORD will do this in the land.”

6N’erhi buca, Nyakasane, akola ako kanwa: amasò g’Abanya-Mîsiri goshi gafa, ci omu masô ga bene-Israheli, ntà cintu ciru n’eciguma càfire.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.

7Faraoni mwâmi w’e Mîsiri arhuma abajidôsa: «Ntà cintu ciru n’eciguma cafire omu masô ga bene-Israheli.» Ci kurharhumaga omurhima gwa Faraoni mwâmi w’e Mîsiri gurhadundagula; arhalekaga olubaga mpu lugende.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.

8Nyakasane abwîra Mûsa na Aroni, erhi: «Murhôle bifune bibiri bya muyeye gw’omu itanuru. Mûsa ayish’iguyehûlira e malunga omu masù ga Faraoni mwâmi w’e Mîsiri.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.

9Hano akatulo kagwo kashandâla omu Mîsiri mwoshi, kanaja kameza emibuha eri nka mahurhe oku bantu n’oku bintu by’omu Mîsiri mwoshi.»It will become fine dust over all the land of Egypt, and festering boils will break out on man and beast throughout the land.”

10Bàrhôla omuyeye gw’omu itanuru, bàguyimangana embere za Faraoni mwâmi w’e Mîsiri. Mûsa àgukwêba e malunga, gwâja gwameza emibuha y’amahurhe oku bantu n’oku bintu.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.

11Abakurungu bayabirwa okubêra embere za Mûsa erhi ago mahurhe garhuma, bulya abakurungu n’Abanya-Mîsiri boshi bàli bayunjwîre mahurhe.The magicians could not stand before Moses, because the boils had broken out on them and on all the Egyptians.

12Ci Nyakasane àdundaguza omurhima gwa Faraoni mwâmi w’e Mîsiri, arhayumvagya Mûsa na Aroni nk’oku Nyakasane anali abwîzire Mûsa.But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he would not listen to them, just as the LORD had said to Moses.

13Nyakasane anacibwîra Mûsa, erhi: «Ozûke mucêracêra, ocibande embere za Faraoni mwâmi w’e Mîsiri. Omubwîre, erhi: Ntya kwo Nyakasane, Nyamuzinda w’Abayahudi adesire: “Lîka olubaga lwâni lugende, luj’inkolera.”»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.

14Bulya lêro nkola narhuma amahanya gâni goshi kuli we, kuli bambali bâwe n’oku lubaga lwâwe lyo omanya oku ntâye oli akâni omu igulu lyoshi.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.

15Ncilekêrerage okuboko kwâni, singa nakuyisire n’ecâhirà we n’olubaga lwâwe, wali wahirigirha omu igulu.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.

16Ci alaga ecàrhumire nakuleka: nti nkuyêreke obuhashe bwâni lyo bamanyîsa izîno lyâni omu igulu lyoshi.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.

17Woyo ocidwîrhe wahanza olubaga lwâni mpu lurhagendaga.Still, you lord it over My people and do not allow them to go.

18Irhondo nka gano mango gonênè naniesa olubula, ludârhi bwenêne, lulya lurhasâg’ibonekana omu Mîsiri kurhenga olusiku àyûbakagwa kuhika buno.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.

19Okanyagye, orhume abaj’iyegemya amasò gâwe na ngasi hyâwe byoshi hiri ebulambo. Ngasi muntu na ngasi cintu biri ebulambo barhayegamizi n’okubihira omu nyumpa, olubula lwabikomanga bife.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.’”

20Muli bambali ba Faraoni mwâmi w’e Mîsiri, ngasi warhînyire akanwa ka Nyakasane, àyegamya bambali bâge n’amasò;Those among Pharaoh’s officials who feared the word of the LORD hurried to bring their servants and livestock to shelter,

21ci orhàshibiriraga akanwa ka Nyakasane, àlekera abambali n’amasò gâge ebulambo.but those who disregarded the word of the LORD left their servants and livestock in the field.

22Nyakasane abwîra Mûsa, erhi: «Lambûlira okuboko kwâwe emalunga olubula lunie omu cihugo c’e Mîsiri mwoshi, oku bantu n’oku bintu, na kuli ngasi hyasi hyoshi hy’omu cihugo c’e Mîsiri.»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.”

23Mûsa àlambûlira akarhi kâge emalunga; Nyakasane alulumbikanyayo emikungulo n’olubula; emilazô yacibanda oku idaho, na Nyakasane aniesa olubula omu cihugo c’e Mîsiri.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.

24Olubula, emilazô eyunjwîre lubula: byàbà bidârhi bwenêne kulya ecihugo c’e Mîsiri cirhâlisag’ibona bundi kurhenga ciri ishanja.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.

25Omwo cihugo c’e Mîsiri mwoshi, olubula lwajonjaga ngasi byânali embuga, abantu n’ebintu; olubula lwajonjaga ngasi hyasi hy’erubala, lwavunanga n’emirhi y’erubala yoshi.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.

26Cihugo ca Gosheni cône olubula lurhahumagakwo, emunda bene-Israheli bâyubakaga.The only place where it did not hail was in the land of Goshen, where the Israelites lived.

27Faraoni mwâmi w’e Mîsiri ahamagala Mûsa na Aroni, ababwîra, erhi: «Lêro, nabwinage oku nabîhire; Nyakasane ye mushinganyanya, nie mubî rhwe n’olubaga lwâni.Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron. “This time I have sinned,” he said. “The LORD is righteous, and I and my people are wicked.

28“Mushenge Nyakasane ayimanze emilazô n’olubula: Nammulîka mugende, murhâcilegerere kasanzi kanene.”»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.”

29Mûsa àmushuza, erhi: «Hano nantenga muno lugo, nagend’iyinamulira amaboko gâni emunda Nyakasane ali: emilazô yahuba, n’olubula lurhâcinie, lyo omanya oku igulu lyoshi liri lya Nyakasane.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.

30“Ci wêhe mwe na bambali bâwe, mmumanyire oku murhacirhînya Nyakasane Nyamuzinda.”»But as for you and your officials, I know that you still do not fear the LORD our God.”

31Ecitâni n’engano byàtuntumalika, bulya engano yali ekola egwêrhe emihuli, n’ecitâni erhi cayâsa.(Now the flax and barley were destroyed, since the barley was ripe and the flax was in bloom;

32Engano ejira emigati n’amahemba, byôhe birhatuntumalikaga, bulya birhamera duba.but the wheat and spelt were not destroyed, because they are late crops.)

33Mûsa arhenga aha mwa Faraoni mwâmi w’e Mîsiri n’omu lugo, àyinamulira amaboko gâge emunda Nyakasane ali; emilazô n’olubula byahumba, enkuba erhàcidubukiraga oku idaho.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.

34Erhi Faraoni mwâmi w’e Mîsiri abona oku enkuba, olubula n’emilazô byahumbire, ashub’ibîha, ye bo n’abambali bàzinzibala.When Pharaoh saw that the rain and hail and thunder had ceased, he sinned again and hardened his heart—he and his officials.

35Omurhima gwa Faraoni mwâmi w’e Mîsiri gwazibuha nk’ibuye, arhàlikaga bene-Israheli, nk’oku Nyakasane anali abwîzire Mûsa.So Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he would not let the Israelites go, just as the LORD had said through Moses.
