Exodus 9 (YER) · Opened

1Te uYawe là ûMusa pa̱, <<Ga atak aFirona là á na pa̱, <Iya̱m va ta̱ uYawe, Inan oHiburu là, <<Re onəm mi á ga ka̱kul na oza̱ a wop mi.>>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.

2Kang a yà pa̱ ɓu ga mpyal ká̱ nkpán oza̱, ɓu re oza̱ i ga ka̱t te,But if you continue to restrain them and refuse to let them go,

3uYawe i nak awo wò aga nɗaktak nɗəkɗək ka̱ apal iya̱m nkang wo va̱ ka̱ ashe ǹzam, ka̱ apal ipəri, azhaki, alakəmi, ína, oga inagàm ká̱ iɓəl.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.

4Ká̱ nna te, uYawe i va̱n iya̱m nkang oIsa̱rila ka̱ ashe ijo oga aMasar, kang na iya̱m nkang oIsa̱rila iro pa̱ izəng á kú ka̱t.> >>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.’”

5Te uYawe nak awalang, á là pa̱, <<Ìpin te, uYawe i ga nnəm iya̱m ata̱ ka̱ ashe mbin.>>The LORD set a time, saying, “Tomorrow the LORD will do this in the land.”

6Ìpin kpa̱k te, uYawe nəm iya̱m ata. Nkpaktak iya̱m nkang oga aMasar kú, nnyi te, iya̱m nkang oga oIsa̱rila iro kú pa̱ izəng ka̱t.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.

7Te uFirona re onəm ga sòng kang à ya pa̱, iya̱m nkang oga aIsa̱rila iro pa̱ izəng kú ka̱t. Káp ká̱ nna te, ìgwak àFirona twat, te uza̱ yang ká̱ ǹre onəm pa̱ á ga.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.

8Te uYawe là ûMusa ká̱ uHaruna pa̱, <<Ó kpa̱k ǹchwang ka̱ ashe achər ka̱ awo wà pa̱ súr na uMusa á swang á ga apal kà̱ ìwu aFirona.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.

9I wal mɓwang nnəna̱n ka̱ apal nkpaktak mbin aMasar, kang nsòmò nlóklok i fa ka̱ apal onəm ká̱ iya̱m nkang ka̱ ashe nkpaktak mbin aMasar.>>It will become fine dust over all the land of Egypt, and festering boils will break out on man and beast throughout the land.”

10Te oza̱ kpa̱k nchwang ngga ashe achər sat ká̱ kà̱ mpyal aFirona, te uMusa swang á ga apaɓur, kang nòmò nlóklok fa ónəm ka̱ izər ká̱ oga iya̱m nkang.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.

11Onəm omámmàm chu pa̱ o sat kà̱ mpyal aMusa ka̱t ka̱kul oga nsòmò. Oga nsòmò fa ónəm omámmàm ká̱ nkpaktak onəm oga aMasar.The magicians could not stand before Moses, because the boils had broken out on them and on all the Egyptians.

12Ká̱ nnà te, uYawe nak ìgwak aFirona twat kang uza̱ yang ka̱ nggwong achwang, wa nva uYawe ka̱là ûMusa.But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he would not listen to them, just as the LORD had said to Moses.

13Te uYawe là ûMusa pa̱, <<Wong ká̱ iɓotak ga atak aFirona. Là á na pa̱, <Iya̱m va ta̱ uYawe, Inan oHiburu là, <<Re onəm mi á ga ka̱kul na oza̱ a wop mi.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.

14Pá ka̱t te, mi ga nre ǹre ka̱ nkpaktak nɗaktak mi ka̱ apal ishi ɓu, ká̱ okpari ɓu, ká̱ onəm ɓu. Nnà chit te, ɓu nyi pa̱ unəm uro yà wa njem lap ka̱ ashe nkpaktak apambin ka̱t.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.

15Wa ǹyangmata̱ te, ká̱ n yichi awo mi chit ká̱ ń ləp ɓu ká̱ onəm ɓu ká̱ nɗaktak, kang ká̱ n zhì wo chit ka̱ apambin.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.

16Ká̱ nnà te, n re ɓu ka̱ irirì ka̱kul ìpir nnap va ta̱, pa̱ na ń nyám ichumchum mi a ɓu, na mmá shet aɗin mi ka̱ ashe nkpaktak apambin.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.

17Ká̱ nnà te, mmaɓu kà̱ nnyám nggá̱r ka̱ apal onəm mi, u yang ka̱ ǹre oza̱ pa̱ á ga.Still, you lord it over My people and do not allow them to go.

18Ìpin ká̱ atak wa nta̱ te, mi pə̀ng aɗəɗal va nna ka̱ yà chit ka̱t kà̱ ǹra va̱ mmá pak aMasar ká̱ á, ya ǹyangmata̱.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.

19Ka̱kul nva̱ ta te, nak mmá ɓa ká̱ iya̱m nkang ɓu ka̱ afo ká̱ nkpaktak iya̱m va mmaɓu ká̱ ka̱ ashe ǹzam. Nza̱ unəm nggo ká̱ iya̱m nkang va̱ ka̱ ashe ǹzam kang mmá ɓa ká̱ ka̱ ashe ka̱t te, i ga nkú a yà pa̱ aɗəɗal pə̀ng óza̱ á.>> > >>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.’”

20Onəm va̱ ka̱ ashe okpari áFirona va̱ nəm ayər nnap-nlà aYawe te, oza̱ nak ozwal oza̱ ká̱ iga iya̱m nkang chəng táng afo.Those among Pharaoh’s officials who feared the word of the LORD hurried to bring their servants and livestock to shelter,

21Te onəm va̱ gwong achwang kà̱ nnap-nlà aYawe ka̱t te, á re ozwal oza̱ ká̱ iya̱m nkang oza̱ ka̱ ashe ǹzam.but those who disregarded the word of the LORD left their servants and livestock in the field.

22Te uYawe là ûMusa pa̱, <<Yichi awo ɓu á ga apaɓur na aɗəɗal á pə̀ng kà̱ nkpaktak mbin aMasar, ka̱ apal ánəmləbər ká̱ iya̱m nkang, ká̱ nkpaktak iya̱m nsuk ka̱ ashe íram oga aMasar.>>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.”

23Te uMusa yichi idari wò á ga apaɓur, te uYawe re ǹre ká̱ ìgbarman ká̱ aɗəɗal. UYawe fə́r ká̱ aməlam kang à pə̀ng aɗəɗal kà̱ mbin aMasar.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.

24Aɗəɗal ká̱ aməlam fə́r, apipir nnà yà chit ka̱ ashe aMasar ka̱t matmat nva̱ uza̱ ka̱ yà mbin á.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.

25Aɗəɗal chwan iya̱m va̱ ka̱ ashe ǹzam kà̱ nkpaktak mbin aMasar, á ɓan kà̱ unəmləbər, ká̱ iya̱m nkang, ká̱ iya̱m nsuk, kang à chwan ikún kpa.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.

26Mbin aGoshen atak va̱ oIsa̱rila təm kà̱, nna byet aɗəɗal yà kà̱ ka̱t.The only place where it did not hail was in the land of Goshen, where the Israelites lived.

27Te uFirona re ǹre kà̱ uMusa ká̱ uHaruna là ôza̱ pa̱, <<Ka̱ walang ata̱ mmami ká̱ mpat. UYawe uwa unəna̱n, kang mmami ká̱ onəm mi ì pəpat.Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron. “This time I have sinned,” he said. “The LORD is righteous, and I and my people are wicked.

28Chal uYawe, igbarman ká̱ aɗəɗal Inan kúr chit. Mi ga ǹre wó, ó ga, á mal pa̱ o kali lap ka̱t.>>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.”

29UMusa là á na pa̱, <<Mi re ìtong va̱ ta̱ i gbà̱ng nva̱ng ka̱t, mi gha̱p oga awo mi ûYawe te, igbarman i sat, kang aɗəɗal i yà lap ka̱t. Te ɓu nyi pa̱ apambin nja aYawe.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.

30Te n nyinyi pa̱ mmaɓu ká̱ okpari ɓu o nəm ayər áYawe, Inan chit ka̱t.>>But as for you and your officials, I know that you still do not fear the LORD our God.”

31(Ǹyangmata̱ nfət ká̱ ibəshi chwan, ka̱kul ibəshi yál chit, kang nfət te kà̱ mba̱l.(Now the flax and barley were destroyed, since the barley was ripe and the flax was in bloom;

32Izangzəng jote, á vyap ka̱t, ka̱kul i ya ɓwop chit ka̱t.)but the wheat and spelt were not destroyed, because they are late crops.)

33Te uMusa re uFirona fa re ìtong, te uza̱ gha̱p oga awo wò ûYawe te, igbarman ká̱ aɗəɗal sat, iva̱r pə̀ng ka̱ apambin lap ka̱t.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.

34Kà̱ nva̱ngva̱ uFirona ya pa̱ iva̱r, ká̱ aɗəɗal, ká̱ igbarman sat chit, te uza̱ nəm nnap mɓá̱ngɓa̱ng kà̱ɗi, uza̱ twat ìgwak, uza̱ ká̱ okpari wò.When Pharaoh saw that the rain and hail and thunder had ceased, he sinned again and hardened his heart—he and his officials.

35Ìgwak aFirona twat, uza̱ yang ká̱ nre oIsa̱rila pa̱ á ga, dakdak wa nva uYawe ka̱ là ka̱ atak aMusa á.So Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he would not let the Israelites go, just as the LORD had said through Moses.
