< Eksodo 8 >
1 Kenaka Yehova anati kwa Mose, “Ukamuwuze Farao kuti, Lolani anthu anga kuti apite, akandipembedze.
And the LORD spake unto Moses, Go unto Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
2 Ndipo ngati simulola kuti apite Ine ndidzalanga dziko lonse la Igupto polidzaza ndi achule.
And if thou refuse to let [them] go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs:
3 Mtsinje wa Nailo udzadzaza ndi achule. Achulewo adzatuluka ndi kukalowa mʼnyumba yaufumu, ku chipinda chogona ndi pa bedi lako, mʼnyumba za nduna zako ndi pa anthu ako ndi mophikira buledi ndiponso mopangira bulediyo.
And the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly, which shall go up and come into thine house, and into thy bedchamber, and upon thy bed, and into the house of thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thine ovens, and into thy kneadingtroughs:
4 Achulewo adzakulumphira iwe ndi anthu ako ndiponso nduna zako.”
And the frogs shall come up both on thee, and upon thy people, and upon all thy servants.
5 Ndipo Yehova anati kwa Mose, “Uza Aaroni kuti, ‘Loza ndodo yako ku mitsinje, ku ngalande ndi ku zithaphwi ndipo pakhale achule pa dziko lonse la Igupto.’”
And the LORD spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch forth thine hand with thy rod over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and cause frogs to come up upon the land of Egypt.
6 Kotero Aaroni analoza dzanja lake pa madzi a ku Igupto, ndipo achule anatuluka nadzaza dziko lonse la Igupto.
And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt.
7 Koma amatsenga anachita zinthu zomwezo mʼmatsenga awo. Iwonso anatulutsa achule mʼdziko lonse la Igupto.
And the magicians did so with their enchantments, and brought up frogs upon the land of Egypt.
8 Kenaka, Farao anayitanitsa Mose ndi Aaroni ndipo anati, “Pemphera kwa Yehova kuti achulewa achoke kwa ine ndi anthu anga, ndipo ine ndidzalola kuti anthu anu apite kukapereka nsembe kwa Yehova.”
Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, Intreat the LORD, that he may take away the frogs from me, and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may do sacrifice unto the LORD.
9 Mose anati kwa Farao, “Inu mungonditchulira nthawi imene mukufuna kuti ndikupempherereni, nduna zanu pamodzi ndi anthu anu kuti achule achoke mʼnyumba zanu ndi kuti atsale okhawo ali mu mtsinje wa Nailo.”
And Moses said unto Pharaoh, Glory over me: when shall I intreat for thee, and for thy servants, and for thy people, to destroy the frogs from thee and thy houses, [that] they may remain in the river only?
10 Farao anati, “Mawa.” Mose anamuyankha kuti, “Chabwino zidzakhala monga mwaneneramu, kuti mudzadziwe kuti palibe wina wofanana ndi Yehova Mulungu wathu.
And he said, To morrow. And he said, [Be it] according to thy word: that thou mayest know that [there is] none like unto the LORD our God.
11 Achule adzachoka mʼnyumba yanu, mʼnyumba za nduna zanu pamodzi ndi za anthu anu. Koma adzatsala mu mtsinje wa Nailo basi.”
And the frogs shall depart from thee, and from thy houses, and from thy servants, and from thy people; they shall remain in the river only.
12 Mose ndi Aaroni anachoka, ndipo Mose anapemphera kwa Yehova kuti achotse achule amene anatumiza kwa Farao.
And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh: and Moses cried unto the LORD because of the frogs which he had brought against Pharaoh.
13 Ndipo Yehova anachita zomwe Mose anapempha. Achule amene anali mʼnyumba, mʼmabwalo ndi mʼminda anafa
And the LORD did according to the word of Moses; and the frogs died out of the houses, out of the villages, and out of the fields.
14 Aigupto anawunjika achulewo milumilu ndipo dziko linanunkha.
And they gathered them together upon heaps: and the land stank.
15 Koma Farao ataona kuti zinthu zinayambanso kukhala bwino, anawumitsanso mtima wake ndipo sanamverenso mawu a Mose ndi Aaroni, monga momwe Yehova ananenera.
But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite, he hardened his heart, and hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said.
16 Kenaka Yehova anati kwa Mose, “Uza Aaroni kuti akweze ndodo yake ndi kumenya fumbi la pa nthaka, ndipo fumbilo lidzasanduka nsabwe pa dziko lonse la Igupto.”
And the LORD said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy rod, and smite the dust of the land, that it may become lice throughout all the land of Egypt.
17 Iwo anachita momwemo, ndipo pamene Aaroni anakweza ndodo yake ndi kumenya fumbi, nsabwe zinafika pa munthu aliyense ndi pa ziweto. Fumbi lonse la mʼdziko la Igupto linasanduka nsabwe.
And they did so; for Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and smote the dust of the earth, and it became lice in man, and in beast; all the dust of the land became lice throughout all the land of Egypt.
18 Koma amatsenga atayesa kupanga nsabwe mwa matsenga awo, analephera. Ndipo nsabwezo zinali pa munthu aliyense ndi pa ziweto zawo.
And the magicians did so with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not: so there were lice upon man, and upon beast.
19 Amatsenga anati kwa Farao, “Izi wachita ndi Mulungu.” Koma mtima wa Farao unali wowumabe ndipo sanamvere zonena za Mose ndi Aaroni monga momwe Yehova ananenera.
Then the magicians said unto Pharaoh, This [is] the finger of God: and Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said.
20 Kenaka Yehova anati kwa Mose, “Mmawa, upite ukakumane ndi Farao maso ndi maso pamene azidzapita ku madzi ndipo ukanene kuti, ‘Yehova akuti, Lola anthu anga kuti apite akandipembedze.
And the LORD said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh; lo, he cometh forth to the water; and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
21 Koma ngati suwalola anthu anga kuti apite, Ine ndidzatumiza pa iwe ntchentche zoluma ndi pa nduna zako ndi anthu ako ndi mʼnyumba zanu. Mʼnyumba za Aigupto mudzadzaza ntchentche zoluma. Ngakhale pa nthaka pamene akhalapo padzadzaza ndi ntchentche zoluma.’”
Else, if thou wilt not let my people go, behold, I will send swarms [of flies] upon thee, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thy houses: and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms [of flies], and also the ground whereon they [are].
22 “Koma pa tsikulo ndidzapatula dera la Goseni, kumene kumakhala anthu anga, motero kuti sikudzakhala ntchentche zoluma. Choncho iwe udzadziwa kuti Ine Yehova ndi amene ndikulamulira dziko lino.
And I will sever in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no swarms [of flies] shall be there; to the end thou mayest know that I [am] the LORD in the midst of the earth.
23 Ndidzasiyanitsa pakati pa anthu anga ndi anthu ako. Chizindikiro chozizwitsa ichi chidzachitika mawa.”
And I will put a division between my people and thy people: to morrow shall this sign be.
24 Ndipo Yehova anachita zimenezi: Ntchentche zoluma zochuluka zinalowa mʼnyumba yaufumu ya Farao ndi nyumba za nduna zake. Choncho ntchentche zolumazi zinawononga dziko lonse la Igupto.
And the LORD did so; and there came a grievous swarm [of flies] into the house of Pharaoh, and [into] his servants’ houses, and into all the land of Egypt: the land was corrupted by reason of the swarm [of flies].
25 Kenaka Farao anayitanitsa Mose ndi Aaroni nati, “Pitani kaperekeni nsembe kwa Mulungu wanu mʼdziko lomwe lino.”
And Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, Go ye, sacrifice to your God in the land.
26 Koma Mose anati, “Sitingathe kutero pakuti nsembe zathu kwa Yehova Mulungu ndi zowayipira Aigupto. Ngati tipereke nsembe zowayipira Aigupto mʼmaso mwawo, adzatiponya miyala kuti tife.
And Moses said, It is not meet so to do; for we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to the LORD our God: lo, shall we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, and will they not stone us?
27 Ife tiyenera kuyenda ulendo wa masiku atatu kupita ku chipululu kukapereka nsembe kwa Yehova Mulungu wathu monga anatilamulira.”
We will go three days’ journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to the LORD our God, as he shall command us.
28 Farao anati, “Ine ndikulolani kuti mupite ku chipululu kukapereka nsembe kwa Yehova Mulungu wanu, koma musapite kutali kwambiri. Tsopano ndipempherereni.”
And Pharaoh said, I will let you go, that ye may sacrifice to the LORD your God in the wilderness; only ye shall not go very far away: intreat for me.
29 Mose anayankha kuti, “Ine ndikangochoka pano, ndikapemphera kwa Yehova ndipo mawa lomweli ntchentche zoluma zidzachoka kwa Farao, nduna zake pamodzi ndi anthu ake. Koma Farao, onetsetsani kuti musachitenso zachinyengo ndi kuwakaniza anthu kuti asakapereke nsembe kwa Yehova.”
And Moses said, Behold, I go out from thee, and I will intreat the LORD that the swarms [of flies] may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people, to morrow: but let not Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to the LORD.
30 Choncho Mose anasiyana ndi Farao nakapemphera kwa Yehova.
And Moses went out from Pharaoh, and intreated the LORD.
31 Ndipo Yehova anachita zomwe Mose anapempha: Ntchentche zoluma zinachoka kwa Farao ndi nduna zake ndiponso kwa anthu ake. Palibe ngakhale imodzi yomwe inatsala.
And the LORD did according to the word of Moses; and he removed the swarms [of flies] from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people; there remained not one.
32 Koma nthawi imeneyinso Farao anawumitsa mtima wake ndipo sanalole kuti anthu atuluke.
And Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also, neither would he let the people go.
