< Eksodo 9 >
1 Kenaka Yehova anati kwa Mose, “Pita kwa Farao ndipo ukamuwuze kuti Yehova, Mulungu wa Ahebri akuti alole anthu anga apite kuti akandipembedze.
Then Jehovah said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
2 Koma ngati ukana kuti apite ndi kupitiriza kuwaletsa,
For if thou refuse to let them go, and wilt hold them still,
3 dzanja la Yehova lidzakantha ziweto zako zimene zili ku munda, pamodzi ndi akavalo, abulu, ngamira, ngʼombe, nkhosa ndi mbuzi ndi mliri woopsa kwambiri.
behold, the hand of Jehovah is upon thy cattle which are in the field, upon the horses, upon the asses, upon the camels, upon the herds, and upon the flocks: [there shall be] a very grievous murrain.
4 Koma Yehova adzasiyanitsa pakati pa ziweto za Israeli ndi ziweto za Igupto, kotero kuti palibe chiweto nʼchimodzi chomwe cha Aisraeli chimene chidzafe.”
And Jehovah shall make a distinction between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt; and there shall nothing die of all that belongeth to the children of Israel.
5 Yehova anayika nthawi ndipo anati, “Yehova adzachita zimenezi mmawa mʼdziko muno.”
And Jehovah appointed a set time, saying, To-morrow Jehovah shall do this thing in the land.
6 Ndipo mmawa mwake Yehova anachitadi zimenezi. Ziweto zonse za Aigupto zinafa, koma palibe chiweto ndi chimodzi chomwe cha Aisraeli chomwe chinafa.
And Jehovah did that thing on the morrow; and all the cattle of Egypt died; but of the cattle of the children of Israel died not one.
7 Farao anatuma anthu kuti akafufuze ndipo anapeza kuti palibe chiweto chilichonse cha Aisraeli chomwe chinafa. Komabe mtima wake sunagonje ndipo iye sanalole kuti anthu apite.
And Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there was not so much as one of the cattle of the Israelites dead. But the heart of Pharaoh was stubborn, and he did not let the people go.
8 Kenaka Yehova anati kwa Mose ndi Aaroni, “Tapani phulusa la pa moto lodzaza dzanja ndipo Mose aliwaze mmwamba pamaso pa Farao.
And Jehovah said unto Moses and unto Aaron, Take to you handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it toward heaven in the sight of Pharaoh.
9 Phulusalo lidzasanduka fumbi pa dziko lonse la Igupto. Tsono fumbilo lidzasanduka zithupsa zomaphulika nʼkukhala zilonda pa munthu aliyense ndi pa nyama zomwe mʼdziko lonse la Igupto.”
And it shall become small dust over all the land of Egypt, and shall be a boil breaking forth with blains upon man and upon beast, throughout all the land of Egypt.
10 Kotero anatenga phulusa la pa moto ndi kuyima pamaso pa Farao. Mose analiwaza mmwamba, ndipo panabuka zotupa zophulika zokha pa munthu aliyense ndi pa ziweto.
And they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it up toward heaven; and it became a boil breaking forth with blains upon man and upon beast.
11 Amatsenga sanathe kumuyandikira Mose chifukwa nawonso anali ndi zithupsa monga mmene analili Aigupto ena onse.
And the magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boils were upon the magicians, and upon all the Egyptians.
12 Koma Yehova anawumitsa mtima wa Farao ndipo iye sanamvere Mose ndi Aaroni monga momwe Yehova anamuwuzira Mose.
And Jehovah hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he hearkened not unto them, as Jehovah had spoken unto Moses.
13 Kenaka Yehova anati kwa Mose, “Mawa mmawa upite ukakumane ndi Farao maso ndi maso ndipo ukamuwuze kuti Yehova Mulungu wa Ahebri akuti ulole anthu anga apite kuti akandipembedze.
And Jehovah said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
14 Ngati suwalola, tsopano ndidzagwetsa miliri yanga yonse pa iwe ndi nduna zako ndiponso pa anthu ako, kuti udziwe kuti palibe wina wofanana nane pa dziko lonse lapansi.
For I will this time send all my plagues upon thy heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people; that thou mayest know that there is none like me in all the earth.
15 Pakuti ndikanakhala nditatukula kale dzanja langa ndikupheratu iwe pamodzi ndi anthu ako onse pa dziko lapansi.
For now I had put forth my hand, and smitten thee and thy people with pestilence, and thou hadst been cut off from the earth:
16 Koma ndakuyika kukhala mfumu ndi cholinga choti ndionetse mphamvu zanga kwa iwe ndiponso kuti dzina langa litchuke pa dziko lonse lapansi.
but in very deed for this cause have I made thee to stand, to show thee my power, and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth.
17 Komabe iwe ukudzitukumula pa anthu anga osawalola kuti atuluke.
As yet exaltest thou thyself against my people, that thou wilt not let them go?
18 Nʼchifukwa chake mawa, nthawi ngati ino, ndidzagwetsa matalala amphamvu amene sanagwepo pa Igupto, kuyambira pachiyambi mpaka lero.
Behold, to-morrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as hath not been in Egypt since the day it was founded even until now.
19 Tsopano lamula kuti ziweto zanu zonse ndi zinthu zonse zomwe zili ku minda kuti zilowetsedwe mʼkhola, chifukwa matalala adzagwera munthu aliyense ndi chiweto chilichonse chimene sichidzalowetsedwa mʼkhola ndipo zimene zidzakhala zili ku munda zidzafa.”
Now therefore send, hasten in thy cattle and all that thou hast in the field; [for] every man and beast that shall be found in the field, and shall not be brought home, the hail shall come down upon them, and they shall die.
20 Nduna za Farao zinachita mantha ndi mawu a Yehova, ndipo zinalowetsa antchito awo ndi ziweto zawo mʼnyumba.
He that feared the word of Jehovah among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses:
21 Koma iwo amene ananyozera mawu a Yehova anasiya akapolo ndi ziweto zawo panja.
and he that regarded not the word of Jehovah left his servants and his cattle in the field.
22 Kenaka Yehova anati kwa Mose, “Kweza dzanja lako kumwamba kuti matalala agwe pa dziko lonse la Igupto, pa munthu aliyense, pa ziweto ndi pa zonse zomera mʼminda ya Igupto.”
And Jehovah said unto Moses, Stretch forth thy hand toward heaven, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, upon man, and upon beast, and upon every herb of the field, throughout the land of Egypt.
23 Mose ataloza ndodo yake kumwamba, Yehova anatumiza mabingu ndi matalala ndi ziphaliwali zongʼanima pa nthaka. Kotero Yehova anagwetsa matalala pa dziko la Igupto.
And Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven: and Jehovah sent thunder and hail, and fire ran down unto the earth; and Jehovah rained hail upon the land of Egypt.
24 Matalala anagwa ndipo ziphaliwali zinangʼanima. Inali mphepo ya mkuntho yoopsa kwambiri imene sinakhaleponso mʼdziko lonse la Igupto chiyambire pamene Aigupto anakhala mtundu woyima pa okha.
So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as had not been in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.
25 Matalala anawononga dziko lonse la Igupto, munthu aliyense pamodzi ndi ziweto. Matalala aja anawononga zomera zonse za mʼmunda ndi kukhadzula mtengo uliwonse.
And the hail smote throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and beast; and the hail smote every herb of the field, and brake every tree of the field.
26 Ku malo kokhako kumene matalala sanafikeko ndi dera la Goseni kumene kunali Aisraeli.
Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, was there no hail.
27 Kenaka Farao anayitanitsa Mose ndi Aaroni nati kwa iwo, “Tsopano ndachimwa, Yehova ndi wolungama, ine ndi anthu anga ndife olakwa.
And Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and said unto them, I have sinned this time: Jehovah is righteous, and I and my people are wicked.
28 Upemphere kwa Mulungu chifukwa mabingu ndi matalala atikwana. Ine ndidzakulolani kuti mupite. Simuyenera kukhalabe kuno.”
Entreat Jehovah; for there hath been enough of [these] mighty thunderings and hail; and I will let you go, and ye shall stay no longer.
29 Mose anayankha, “Ndikangotuluka mu mzinda muno, ine ndidzakweza manja anga kwa Yehova ndi kupemphera. Mabingu ndi matalalawa adzaleka ndipo inu mudzadziwa kuti Yehova ndiye akulamulira dziko lapansi.
And Moses said unto him, As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will spread abroad my hands unto Jehovah; the thunders shall cease, neither shall there be any more hail; that thou mayest know that the earth is Jehovah’s.
30 Koma ine ndikudziwa kuti inu ndi nduna zanu simukuopabe Yehova Mulungu.”
But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye will not yet fear Jehovah God.
31 Thonje ndi barele zinawonongeka, popeza barele anali atakhwima ndi thonje linali ndi maluwa.
And the flax and the barley were smitten: for the barley was in the ear, and the flax was in bloom.
32 Koma tirigu ndi mchewere sizinawonongeke chifukwa zimakhwima mochedwa.
But the wheat and the spelt were not smitten: for they were not grown up.
33 Mose anasiyana ndi Farao natuluka mu mzindawo. Iye anakweza manja ake kwa Yehova. Mabingu ndi matalala zinaleka, ndipo mvula inalekeratu kugwa mʼdzikolo.
And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread abroad his hands unto Jehovah: and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured upon the earth.
34 Farao ataona kuti mvula, matalala ndi mabingu zaleka, anachimwanso. Iye ndi nduna zake anawumitsanso mitima yawo.
And when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders were ceased, he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he and his servants.
35 Choncho Farao sanalole kuti Aisraeli apite monga momwe Yehova anamuwuzira Mose.
And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the children of Israel go, as Jehovah had spoken by Moses.
