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 tell him, ‘This is what the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, says: “Let my people go, that they may serve me.
2 Koma ngati ukana kuti apite ndi kupitiriza kuwaletsa,
For if you refuse to let them go, and 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 LORD’s hand is on your livestock which are in the field, on the horses, on the donkeys, on the camels, on the herds, and on the flocks with a very grievous pestilence.
4 Koma Yehova adzasiyanitsa pakati pa ziweto za Israeli ndi ziweto za Igupto, kotero kuti palibe chiweto nʼchimodzi chomwe cha Aisraeli chimene chidzafe.”
The LORD will make a distinction between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt; and nothing shall die of all that belongs to the children of Israel.”’”
5 Yehova anayika nthawi ndipo anati, “Yehova adzachita zimenezi mmawa mʼdziko muno.”
The LORD appointed a set time, saying, “Tomorrow the LORD 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.
The LORD did that thing on the next day; and all the livestock of Egypt died, but of the livestock of the children of Israel, not one died.
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.
Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there was not so much as one of the livestock of the Israelites dead. But the heart of Pharaoh was stubborn, and he didn’t 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.
The LORD said to Moses and to Aaron, “Take handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it toward the sky 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.”
It shall become small dust over all the land of Egypt, and shall be boils and blisters breaking out on man and on animal, 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.
They took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it up toward the sky; and it became boils and blisters breaking out on man and on animal.
11 Amatsenga sanathe kumuyandikira Mose chifukwa nawonso anali ndi zithupsa monga mmene analili Aigupto ena onse.
The magicians couldn’t stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boils were on the magicians and on all the Egyptians.
12 Koma Yehova anawumitsa mtima wa Farao ndipo iye sanamvere Mose ndi Aaroni monga momwe Yehova anamuwuzira Mose.
The LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he didn’t listen to 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.
The LORD said to Moses, “Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and tell him, ‘This is what the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, says: “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 this time I will send all my plagues against your heart, against your officials, and against your people; that you may know that there is no one 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 would have stretched out my hand, and struck you and your people with pestilence, and 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 indeed for this cause I have made you stand: to show you my power, and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth,
17 Komabe iwe ukudzitukumula pa anthu anga osawalola kuti atuluke.
because you still exalt yourself against my people, that you won’t let them go.
18 Nʼchifukwa chake mawa, nthawi ngati ino, ndidzagwetsa matalala amphamvu amene sanagwepo pa Igupto, kuyambira pachiyambi mpaka lero.
Behold, tomorrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as has 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 command that all of your livestock and all that you have in the field be brought into shelter. The hail will come down on every man and animal that is found in the field, and isn’t brought home, and they will die.”’”
20 Nduna za Farao zinachita mantha ndi mawu a Yehova, ndipo zinalowetsa antchito awo ndi ziweto zawo mʼnyumba.
Those who feared the LORD’s word among the servants of Pharaoh made their servants and their livestock flee into the houses.
21 Koma iwo amene ananyozera mawu a Yehova anasiya akapolo ndi ziweto zawo panja.
Whoever didn’t respect the LORD’s word left his servants and his livestock 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.”
The LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward the sky, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, on man, and on animal, and on 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.
Moses stretched out his rod toward the heavens, and the LORD sent thunder and hail; and lightning flashed down to the earth. The LORD rained hail 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 very severe hail, and lightning mixed with the hail, 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.
The hail struck throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and animal; and the hail struck every herb of the field, and broke 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, there was no hail.
27 Kenaka Farao anayitanitsa Mose ndi Aaroni nati kwa iwo, “Tsopano ndachimwa, Yehova ndi wolungama, ine ndi anthu anga ndife olakwa.
Pharaoh sent and called for Moses and Aaron, and said to them, “I have sinned this time. The LORD 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.”
Pray to the LORD; for there has been enough of mighty thunderings and hail. I will let you go, and you 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.
Moses said to him, “As soon as I have gone out of the city, I will spread out my hands to the LORD. The thunders shall cease, and there will not be any more hail; that you may know 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 know that you don’t yet fear the LORD God.”
31 Thonje ndi barele zinawonongeka, popeza barele anali atakhwima ndi thonje linali ndi maluwa.
The flax and the barley were struck, for the barley had ripened and the flax was blooming.
32 Koma tirigu ndi mchewere sizinawonongeke chifukwa zimakhwima mochedwa.
But the wheat and the spelt were not struck, for they had 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.
Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread out his hands to the LORD; and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured on the earth.
34 Farao ataona kuti mvula, matalala ndi mabingu zaleka, anachimwanso. Iye ndi nduna zake anawumitsanso mitima yawo.
When Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders had 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.
The heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he didn’t let the children of Israel go, just as the LORD had spoken through Moses.
