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.
And the Lord said to Moses: Go in to Pharao, and speak to him: Thus saith the Lord God of the Hebrews: Let my people go to sacrifice to me.
2 Koma ngati ukana kuti apite ndi kupitiriza kuwaletsa,
But if thou refuse, and withhold 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 my hand shall be upon thy fields: and a very grievous murrain upon thy horses, and asses, and camels, and oxen, and sheep.
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 wonderful difference between the possessions of Israel and the possessions of the Egyptians, that nothing at all shall die of those things that belong to the children of Israel.
5 Yehova anayika nthawi ndipo anati, “Yehova adzachita zimenezi mmawa mʼdziko muno.”
And the Lord appointed a time, saying: Tomorrow will the Lord 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.
The Lord therefore did this thing the next day: and all the beasts of the Egyptians died, but of the beasts of the children of Israel there 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 Pharao sent to see: and there was not any thing dead of that which Israel possessed. And Pharao’s heart was hardened, 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 Aaron: Take to you handfuls of ashes out of the chimney, and let Moses sprinkle it in the air in the presence of Pharao.
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 be there dust upon all the land of Egypt: for there shall be boils and swelling blains both in men and beasts in the whole 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 out of the chimney, and stood before Pharao, and Moses sprinkled it in the air: and there came boils with swelling blains in men and beasts.
11 Amatsenga sanathe kumuyandikira Mose chifukwa nawonso anali ndi zithupsa monga mmene analili Aigupto ena onse.
Neither could the magicians stand before Moses for the boils that were upon them, and in all the land of Egypt.
12 Koma Yehova anawumitsa mtima wa Farao ndipo iye sanamvere Mose ndi Aaroni monga momwe Yehova anamuwuzira Mose.
And the Lord hardened Pharao’s heart, and he hearkened not unto them, as the Lord had spoken to 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 the Lord said to Moses: Arise in the morning, and stand before Pharao, and thou shalt say to him: Thus saith the Lord the God of the Hebrews: Let my people go to sacrifice to 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 at this time send all my plagues upon thy heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people: that thou mayst know 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 will stretch out my hand to strike thee, and thy people with pestilence, and thou shalt perish 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.
And therefore have I raised thee, that I may shew my power in thee, and my name may be spoken of throughout all the earth.
17 Komabe iwe ukudzitukumula pa anthu anga osawalola kuti atuluke.
Dost thou yet hold back my people: and wilt thou not let them go?
18 Nʼchifukwa chake mawa, nthawi ngati ino, ndidzagwetsa matalala amphamvu amene sanagwepo pa Igupto, kuyambira pachiyambi mpaka lero.
Behold I will cause it to rain tomorrow at this same hour, an exceeding great hail: such as hath not been in Egypt from the day that it was founded, until this present time.
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.”
Send therefore now presently, and gather together thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field: for men and beasts, and all things that shall be found abroad, and not gathered together out of the fields, which the hail shall fall upon, 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 the Lord among Pharao’s servants, made his servants and his cattle flee into houses:
21 Koma iwo amene ananyozera mawu a Yehova anasiya akapolo ndi ziweto zawo panja.
But he that regarded not the word of the Lord, left his servants and his cattle in the fields:
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: Stretch forth thy hand towards heaven, that there may be hail in the whole land of Egypt, upon men, and upon beasts, and upon every herb of the field in 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 towards heaven, and the Lord sent thunder and hail, and lightning running along the ground: and the Lord 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.
And the hail and fire mixed with it drove on together: and it was of so great bigness, as never before was seen in the whole land of Egypt since that nation was founded.
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 destroyed through all the land of Egypt all things that were in the fields, both man and beast: and the hail smote every herb of the field, and it broke every tree of the country.
26 Ku malo kokhako kumene matalala sanafikeko ndi dera la Goseni kumene kunali Aisraeli.
Only in the land of Gessen, where the children of Israel were, the hail fell not.
27 Kenaka Farao anayitanitsa Mose ndi Aaroni nati kwa iwo, “Tsopano ndachimwa, Yehova ndi wolungama, ine ndi anthu anga ndife olakwa.
And Pharao sent and called Moses and Aaron, saying to them: I have sinned this time also; the Lord is just: I and my people are wicked.
28 Upemphere kwa Mulungu chifukwa mabingu ndi matalala atikwana. Ine ndidzakulolani kuti mupite. Simuyenera kukhalabe kuno.”
Pray ye to the Lord, that the thunderings of God and the hail may cease: that I may let you go, and that you may stay here 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.
Moses said: As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will stretch forth my hands to the Lord, and the thunders shall cease, and the hail shall be no more: that thou mayst know that the earth is the Lord’s.
30 Koma ine ndikudziwa kuti inu ndi nduna zanu simukuopabe Yehova Mulungu.”
But I know that neither thou, nor thy servants do yet fear the Lord God.
31 Thonje ndi barele zinawonongeka, popeza barele anali atakhwima ndi thonje linali ndi maluwa.
The flax therefore and the barley were hurt, because the barley was green, and the flax was now boiled:
32 Koma tirigu ndi mchewere sizinawonongeke chifukwa zimakhwima mochedwa.
But the wheat, and other winter corn were not hurt, because they were lateward.
33 Mose anasiyana ndi Farao natuluka mu mzindawo. Iye anakweza manja ake kwa Yehova. Mabingu ndi matalala zinaleka, ndipo mvula inalekeratu kugwa mʼdzikolo.
And when Moses was gone from Pharao out of the city, he stretched forth his hands to the Lord: and the thunders and the hail ceased, neither did there drop any more rain upon the earth.
34 Farao ataona kuti mvula, matalala ndi mabingu zaleka, anachimwanso. Iye ndi nduna zake anawumitsanso mitima yawo.
And Pharao seeing that the rain and the hail, and the thunders were ceased, increased his sin.
35 Choncho Farao sanalole kuti Aisraeli apite monga momwe Yehova anamuwuzira Mose.
And his heart was hardened, and the heart of his servants, and it was made exceeding hard: neither did he let the children of Israel go, as the Lord had commanded by the hand of Moses.
