Eksodo 8
1 Kenaka Yehova anati kwa Mose, “Ukamuwuze Farao kuti, Lolani anthu anga kuti apite, akandipembedze.
The LORD spoke to Moses, “Go in to Pharaoh, and tell him, ‘This is what the LORD says, “Let my people go, that they may serve me.
2 Ndipo ngati simulola kuti apite Ine ndidzalanga dziko lonse la Igupto polidzaza ndi achule.
If you refuse to let them go, behold, I will plague all your 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.
The river will swarm with frogs, which will go up and come into your house, and into your bedroom, and on your bed, and into the house of your servants, and on your people, and into your ovens, and into your kneading troughs.
4 Achulewo adzakulumphira iwe ndi anthu ako ndiponso nduna zako.”
The frogs shall come up both on you, and on your people, and on all your 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.’”
The LORD said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Stretch out your hand with your rod over the rivers, over the streams, and over the pools, and cause frogs to come up on the land of Egypt.’”
6 Kotero Aaroni analoza dzanja lake pa madzi a ku Igupto, ndipo achule anatuluka nadzaza dziko lonse la Igupto.
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.
The magicians did the same thing with their enchantments, and brought up frogs on 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, “Entreat the LORD, that he take away the frogs from me and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may sacrifice to 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.”
Moses said to Pharaoh, “I give you the honor of setting the time that I should pray for you, and for your servants, and for your people, that the frogs be destroyed from you and your houses, and 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.
Pharaoh said, “Tomorrow.” Moses said, “Let it be according to your word, that you may know that there is no one like 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.”
The frogs shall depart from you, and from your houses, and from your servants, and from your 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.
Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh, and Moses cried to the LORD concerning the frogs which he had brought on Pharaoh.
13 Ndipo Yehova anachita zomwe Mose anapempha. Achule amene anali mʼnyumba, mʼmabwalo ndi mʼminda anafa
The LORD did according to the word of Moses, and the frogs died out of the houses, out of the courts, and out of the fields.
14 Aigupto anawunjika achulewo milumilu ndipo dziko linanunkha.
They gathered them together in 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 a respite, he hardened his heart, and didn’t listen to them, as the LORD had spoken.
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.”
The LORD said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Stretch out your rod, and strike the dust of the earth, 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.
They did so; and Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and struck the dust of the earth, and there were lice on man, and on animal; all the dust of the earth 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.
The magicians tried with their enchantments to produce lice, but they couldn’t. There were lice on man, and on animal.
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 to Pharaoh, “This is God’s finger;” but Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he didn’t listen to them, as the LORD had spoken.
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.
The LORD said to Moses, “Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh; behold, he comes out to the water; and tell him, ‘This is what the LORD says, “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 you will not let my people go, behold, I will send swarms of flies on you, and on your servants, and on your people, and into your houses. The houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of flies, and also the ground they are on.
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.
I will set apart in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there, to the end you may know that I am the LORD on the earth.
23 Ndidzasiyanitsa pakati pa anthu anga ndi anthu ako. Chizindikiro chozizwitsa ichi chidzachitika mawa.”
I will put a division between my people and your people. This sign shall happen by tomorrow.”’”
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.
The LORD did so; and there came grievous swarms of flies into the house of Pharaoh, and into his servants’ houses. In all the land of Egypt the land was corrupted by reason of the swarms of flies.
25 Kenaka Farao anayitanitsa Mose ndi Aaroni nati, “Pitani kaperekeni nsembe kwa Mulungu wanu mʼdziko lomwe lino.”
Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, “Go, 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.
Moses said, “It isn’t appropriate to do so; for we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to the LORD our God. Behold, if we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, won’t they 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.”
Pharaoh said, “I will let you go, that you may sacrifice to the LORD your God in the wilderness, only you shall not go very far away. Pray 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.”
Moses said, “Behold, I am going out from you. I will pray to the LORD that the swarms of flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people, tomorrow; only don’t let 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.
Moses went out from Pharaoh, and prayed to 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.
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.
Pharaoh hardened his heart this time also, and he didn’t let the people go.
