Exodus 9 (ZAJP)

1Abaho MNDEWA kamulongela Musa, “Genda ha Falao ukamulongele kamba MNDEWA Mulungu wa Waeblania kolonga vino, ‘Waleke wanhu zangu wachole kunitambikila nie.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.

2Kamba uhalema kuwaleka wachole, na kugendelela kuwananahila,But if you continue to restrain them and refuse to let them go,

3nie nokusuna na utamu wihile ng'hani mwa wang'onyo zako wa kufuga, kamba vija falasi zako, mhunda zako, ngamia zako, ng'ombe zako, na ng'hondolo zako.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.

4Ila nie, MNDEWA, nokwika mbaka hagatigati ya wang'onyo wa Islaeli na wang'onyo wa Misili, giladi wang'onyo wa Waislaeli sambiwadanganhike.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.’”

5Nie, MNDEWA, nika kipigiti cha mbuli ino kulawilila. Mayo noitenda mbuli ino muisi ya Misili.’ ”The LORD set a time, saying, “Tomorrow the LORD will do this in the land.”

6Na imitondo iyagwe MNDEWA kakitenda kija chayalongile. Wang'onyo wose wa Wamisili wadanganhika, ila wang'onyo wa Waislaeli haduhu hata imwe yadanganhike.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.

7Falao katuma visepi wakalolese, na hewo wona kamba haduhu hata mng'onyo imwe wa Waislaeli yadanganhike. Hata avo moyo wa Falao ugendelela kuwa mdala na hawalekile wanhu wachole.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.

8Abaho MNDEWA kawalongela Musa na Haloni, “Soleni maganza ga mitozi kulawa muitanuli, abaho Musa yayase uchana haulongozi wa Falao.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.

9Ija imitozi yokwenela muisi yose ya Misili na kuwa kamba timbwisi dondadisongeze mapute mwa wanhu na wang'onyo muisi yose ya Misili.”It will become fine dust over all the land of Egypt, and festering boils will break out on man and beast throughout the land.”

10Avo wasola mitozi kulawa muitanuli na kwima haulongozi wa Falao, abaho Musa kayasa imitozi uchana, na imitozi isongeza mapute mwa wanhu na wang'onyo.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.

11Waja iwahawi wa Misili hawadahile kwiza kwima haulongozi wa Musa sama ya mapute gawakalile nago, kwavija mapute gawapata waja iwahawi hamoja na Wamisili wayagwe.The magicians could not stand before Moses, because the boils had broken out on them and on all the Egyptians.

12MNDEWA kautenda moyo wa Falao kuwa mdala, na hawawategeleze Musa na Haloni kamba MNDEWA viyamulongele Musa.But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he would not listen to them, just as the LORD had said to Moses.

13Abaho MNDEWA kamulongela Musa, “Ulamuke imitondo ng'hani, uchole ha Falao ukamulongele kamba MNDEWA Mulungu wa Waeblania kolonga vino, ‘Waleke wanhu zangu wachole, giladi wakanitambikile nie.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.

14Ila kamba uhalema kuwalekesa, mwanza uno nokutoa na mitamu ihile ng'hani gweye mwenyego na salange zako hamoja na wanhu zako, giladi uvitange kamba haduhu yalingile na nie muulumwengu wose.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.

15Kwavija mbaka kipigiti kino niheshile kuugolosa mkono wangu na kukutoa na mitamu gweye hamoja na wanhu zako, na muhawile mwishile kusegezigwa muulumwengu.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.

16Ila nie nikuleka gweye ugendelele kuwa mgima, giladi nilaguse mhiko zangu, na twaga jangu ditangigwe muulumwengu wose.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.

17Hata avo ung'hali ugendelela kukiinula mwenyego mkulema kuwaleka wanhu zangu wachole.Still, you lord it over My people and do not allow them to go.

18Mayo kipigiti kamba kino noigala mvula ng'hulu ya mabwe itoe, mvula ya mabwe yondaitoe hainatoa muisi ya Misili songela vuilumbigwe mbaka sambi.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.

19Avo lagiza kamba wang'onyo zako na watumigwa zako walawe mmigunda wengile mzing'anda, kwavija munhu ama mng'onyo yoyose yondayakale hanze ya ing'anda kipigiti imvula ya mabwe vondaitoe, kodanganhika.’ ”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.’”

20Waja iwasalange wa Falao wakalile wozidumba mbuli za MNDEWA walopola kuwengiza nyakadala zao na wang'onyo zao mzing'anda.Those among Pharaoh’s officials who feared the word of the LORD hurried to bring their servants and livestock to shelter,

21Ila waja iwasalange wakalile wozizabuza mbuli za MNDEWA wawaleka nyakadala zao na wang'onyo zao hanze mmigunda.but those who disregarded the word of the LORD left their servants and livestock in the field.

22Abaho MNDEWA kamulongela Musa, “Golosa mkono wako uchana kuulanga giladi mvula ya mabwe itoe muisi yose ya Misili, itoe mwa wanhu na wang'onyo na mmiche yose ya muisi ya Misili.”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.”

23Avo Musa kainula fimbo yake kuulanga, MNDEWA kagala miladu na mvula ya mabwe, na mimwemwe imweka mbaka hasi muisi. Avo MNDEWA kaitenda mvula ya mabwe itoe muisi ya Misili.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 mabwe itoa na mimwemwe imweka kila hanhu. Ukala mnyukwamnyukwa wihile ng'hani wa mvula ya mabwe ukalile haunalawilila muisi yose ya Misili songela viigaluke undewa.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.

25Ija imvula ya mabwe ibananga kila kinhu kikalile hanze muisi yose ya Misili, wanhu na wang'onyo, vivija mvula ija ya mabwe iibena miche yose ya mmigunda na kuibena mibiki yose ya mmigunda.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.

26Ila muisi ya Gosheni, kuwakalile Waislaeli, kukala bule mvula ya mabwe.The only place where it did not hail was in the land of Goshen, where the Israelites lived.

27Abaho Falao kawakema Musa na Haloni, na kuwalongela, “Mwanza uno nie niloza, MNDEWA katenda galumbile, na nie na wanhu zangu tuhonyela.Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron. “This time I have sinned,” he said. “The LORD is righteous, and I and my people are wicked.

28Miladu na mvula ino ya mabwe ibanza, tambikeni ha MNDEWA yaisegeze. Nowaleka mchole, hailondigwa mkale hano tena.”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.”

29Musa kamulongela, “Kipigiti kikino nihalawa mdiwambo dino, nogagolosa makono gangu ha MNDEWA, na imiladu yonyamala, na hakuwa tena na mvula ya mabwe, giladi uvitange kamba MNDEWA iyo mwene ulumwengu uno.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.

30Ila nivimanya gweye na salange zako hamumdumba MNDEWA Mulungu.”But as for you and your officials, I know that you still do not fear the LORD our God.”

31Shaili na miche ya kitani vose vibanangigwa, kwavija shaili ikala ipile, na kitani ikala ilava malua.(Now the flax and barley were destroyed, since the barley was ripe and the flax was in bloom;

32Ila ngano na ngano senhambo hazibanangigwe kwavija vikala vikawile kwipa.but the wheat and spelt were not destroyed, because they are late crops.)

33Avo Musa kasegela haulongozi wa Falao na kuchola hanze ya idiwambo. Kenula makono gake uchana ha MNDEWA, na ija imiladu inyamala na imvula ya mabwe igagula, na mvula haitoile muisi.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.

34Ila Falao viyonile mvula na mvula ya mabwe na ija imiladu inyamala, kaloza kabili, heyo hamoja na salange zake waitenda mioyo yao kuwa midala.When Pharaoh saw that the rain and hail and thunder had ceased, he sinned again and hardened his heart—he and his officials.

35Avo moyo wa Falao uwa mdala, hawalekile Waislaeli wachole, kamba MNDEWA viyalongile kubitila Musa.So Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he would not let the Israelites go, just as the LORD had said through Moses.
