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 the Lord said to Moses, Go in to Pharaoh and say to him, This is what the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, says: Let my people go so that they may give me worship.
2 Koma ngati ukana kuti apite ndi kupitiriza kuwaletsa,
For if you will not let them go, but still keep them in your power,
3 dzanja la Yehova lidzakantha ziweto zako zimene zili ku munda, pamodzi ndi akavalo, abulu, ngamira, ngʼombe, nkhosa ndi mbuzi ndi mliri woopsa kwambiri.
Then the hand of the Lord will put on your cattle in the field, on the horses and the asses and the camels, on the herds and the flocks, a very evil disease.
4 Koma Yehova adzasiyanitsa pakati pa ziweto za Israeli ndi ziweto za Igupto, kotero kuti palibe chiweto nʼchimodzi chomwe cha Aisraeli chimene chidzafe.”
And the Lord will make a division between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt; there will be no loss of any of the cattle of Israel.
5 Yehova anayika nthawi ndipo anati, “Yehova adzachita zimenezi mmawa mʼdziko muno.”
And the time was fixed by the Lord, and he said, Tomorrow the Lord will 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 on the day after, the Lord did as he had said, causing the death of all the cattle of Egypt, but there was no loss of any of the cattle of Israel.
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 got word that there was no loss of any of the cattle of Israel. But the heart of Pharaoh was hard 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 the Lord said to Moses and to Aaron, Take in your hand a little dust from the fire and let Moses send it in a shower up to heaven before the eyes 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 will become small dust over all the land of Egypt, and will be a skin-disease bursting out in wounds on man and beast through 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.
So they took some dust from the fire, and placing themselves before Pharaoh, Moses sent it out in a shower up to heaven; and it became a skin-disease bursting out on man and on beast.
11 Amatsenga sanathe kumuyandikira Mose chifukwa nawonso anali ndi zithupsa monga mmene analili Aigupto ena onse.
And the wonder-workers were not able to take their places before Moses, because of the disease; for the disease was on the wonder-workers and on all the Egyptians.
12 Koma Yehova anawumitsa mtima wa Farao ndipo iye sanamvere Mose ndi Aaroni monga momwe Yehova anamuwuzira Mose.
And the Lord made Pharaoh's heart hard, and he would not give ear to them, as the Lord had said.
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 the Lord said to Moses, Get up early in the morning and take your place before Pharaoh, and say to him, This is what the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, says: Let my people go so that they may give me worship.
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 this time I will send all my punishments on yourself and on your servants and on your people; so that you may see that there is no other like me in all the earth.
15 Pakuti ndikanakhala nditatukula kale dzanja langa ndikupheratu iwe pamodzi ndi anthu ako onse pa dziko lapansi.
For if I had put the full weight of my hand on you and your people, you would have 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, for this very reason, I have kept you from destruction, to make clear to you my power, and so that my name may be honoured through all the earth.
17 Komabe iwe ukudzitukumula pa anthu anga osawalola kuti atuluke.
Are you still uplifted in pride against my people so that you will not let them go?
18 Nʼchifukwa chake mawa, nthawi ngati ino, ndidzagwetsa matalala amphamvu amene sanagwepo pa Igupto, kuyambira pachiyambi mpaka lero.
Truly, tomorrow about this time I will send down an ice-storm, such as never was in Egypt from its earliest days till 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.”
Then send quickly and get in your cattle and all you have from the fields; for if any man or beast in the field has not been put under cover, the ice-storm will come down on them with destruction.
20 Nduna za Farao zinachita mantha ndi mawu a Yehova, ndipo zinalowetsa antchito awo ndi ziweto zawo mʼnyumba.
Then everyone among the servants of Pharaoh who had the fear of the Lord, made his servants and his cattle come quickly into the house:
21 Koma iwo amene ananyozera mawu a Yehova anasiya akapolo ndi ziweto zawo panja.
And he who gave no attention to the word of the Lord, kept 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 the Lord said to Moses, Now let your hand be stretched out to heaven so that there may be an ice-storm on all the land of Egypt, on man and on beast and on every plant of the field through all 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 put out his rod to heaven: and the Lord sent thunder, and an ice-storm, and fire running down on the earth; the Lord sent an ice-storm on 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 an ice-storm with fire running through it, coming down with great force, such as never was in all the land of Egypt from the time when 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 through all the land of Egypt the ice-storm came down on everything which was in the fields, on man and on beast; and every green plant was crushed and every tree of the field broken.
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, there was no ice-storm.
27 Kenaka Farao anayitanitsa Mose ndi Aaroni nati kwa iwo, “Tsopano ndachimwa, Yehova ndi wolungama, ine ndi anthu anga ndife olakwa.
Then Pharaoh sent for Moses and Aaron, and said to them, I have done evil this time: the Lord is upright, and I and my people are sinners.
28 Upemphere kwa Mulungu chifukwa mabingu ndi matalala atikwana. Ine ndidzakulolani kuti mupite. Simuyenera kukhalabe kuno.”
Make prayer to the Lord; for there has been enough of these thunderings of God and this ice-storm; and I will let you go and will keep you 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, When I am gone outside the town, my hands will be stretched out to the Lord; the thunders and the ice-storm will come to an end, so that you may see that the earth is the Lord's.
30 Koma ine ndikudziwa kuti inu ndi nduna zanu simukuopabe Yehova Mulungu.”
But as for you and your servants, I am certain that even now the fear of the Lord God will not be in your hearts.
31 Thonje ndi barele zinawonongeka, popeza barele anali atakhwima ndi thonje linali ndi maluwa.
And the flax and the barley were damaged, for the barley was almost ready to be cut and the flax was in flower.
32 Koma tirigu ndi mchewere sizinawonongeke chifukwa zimakhwima mochedwa.
But the rest of the grain-plants were undamaged, for they had not come up.
33 Mose anasiyana ndi Farao natuluka mu mzindawo. Iye anakweza manja ake kwa Yehova. Mabingu ndi matalala zinaleka, ndipo mvula inalekeratu kugwa mʼdzikolo.
So Moses went out of the town, and stretching out his hands made prayer to God: and the thunders and the ice-storm came to an end; and the fall of rain was stopped.
34 Farao ataona kuti mvula, matalala ndi mabingu zaleka, anachimwanso. Iye ndi nduna zake anawumitsanso mitima yawo.
But when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the ice-storm and the thunders were ended, he went on sinning, and made his heart hard, he and his servants.
35 Choncho Farao sanalole kuti Aisraeli apite monga momwe Yehova anamuwuzira Mose.
And the heart of Pharaoh was hard, and he did not let the people go, as the Lord had said by the mouth of Moses.
