Wuok 9
1 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya, “Dhi ir Farao mondo iwachne kama: ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach jo-Hibrania wacho: “We joga odhi mondo olama!”
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Go to the king and say to him, ‘This is what Yahweh, the God [we] Hebrews [worship], says: “Allow my people to go, in order that they may worship me.
2 To ka itamori weyogi mondo gidhi kendo isiko kiketogi e tich misumba,
If you still keep refusing to let them go [DOU],
3 to lwet Jehova Nyasaye biro kelo tho ne jamni mantiere lek kaka fareseni kod pundeni, ngamia magi kaachiel gi dhogi, rombegi kod dieki.
I warn you that I will punish you with my power [MTY] by sending a terrible disease on all your animals—on your horses, donkeys, camels, on your cattle, and on your flocks [of sheep and goats].
4 To Jehova Nyasaye biro keto pogruok kuom jamb jo-Israel kod mago mag jo-Misri mi onge chiach ja-Israel moro amora ma biro tho.’”
But I, Yahweh, will distinguish between [what I do to] the animals that belong to the Israeli people and [what I do to] your animals. The result will be that no animal that belongs to the Israeli people will die.”’
5 Jehova Nyasaye noketo odiechiengʼ ma gigo notimre kowacho kama: “Kiny Jehova Nyasaye notim ma e pinyni.”
[Tell him that] I have determined/decided that tomorrow is the day that I will do this in this land.”
6 Kendo kinyne Jehova Nyasaye notimo kamano. Jamni duto mag jo-Misri notho, to onge jamb ja-Israel kata achiel mane otho.
The next day Yahweh did just what he said [that he would do]. A terrible disease afflicted all of the Egyptians’ animals, and many of them [HYP] died. But none of the Israeli people’s animals died.
7 Kane Farao ooro ji mondo onon wachno, to negiyudo kaonge kata achiel kuom jamb jo-Israel mane otho. To kata kamano wi Farao nomedo bedo matek mine ok onyal weyo ogandano mondo odhi.
The king sent [men to investigate], and they were surprised [to see] that none of the Israeli people’s animals had died. But [after they reported that to] the king, he continued to be stubborn [IDM], and he did not let the [Israeli] people go.
8 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa kod Harun niya, “Jukuru buch kendo mopongʼo lwetu mondo Musa okire e kor yamo e nyim Farao.
Then Yahweh said to Aaron and Moses/me, “Take a few handfuls of ashes/soot from (a furnace/an oven where they burn lime), and let Moses throw them up into the air, in front of the king.
9 Obiro lokore buru mayom e piny Misri duto kendo buche malokore adhola biro gore kuom ji kaachiel gi jamni e piny duto.”
The [ashes/soot] will spread all over the country of Egypt like fine dust. And the ashes/soot will cause boils to afflict both the Egyptian people and their animals, all over the land.”
10 Kuom mano ne gijuko buch kendo mi gichungʼ e nyim Farao. Musa nokiro buru e kor yamo kendo buche malokore adhola nogore kuom ji kod jamni.
So they/we both got some ashes/soot and [went and] stood in front of the king. Moses/I threw the ashes/soot up into the air. The ashes/soot spread all over, causing boils to afflict the [Egyptian] people and their animals. All the boils became open sores.
11 Ajuoke ne ok nyal chungʼ e nyim Musa nikech buche mane ni kuomgi kaachiel gi jo-Misri duto.
Even the men who worked magic had boils. The result was that [they were suffering so much that] they were not able to come to Moses/me, because the men who worked magic had boils just like all [the rest of] the Egyptian people.
12 To Jehova Nyasaye nomiyo chuny Farao omedo bedo matek mine ok nonyal winjo wach Musa kod Harun, mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye nosewacho ne Musa.
But Yahweh caused the king to [continue to] be stubborn [IDM]. He did not pay any attention to what they/we [said], just as Yahweh had told Moses/me [would happen].
13 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya, “Chiew okinyi mangʼich, idhi ir Farao kendo inyise kama: ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach jo-Hibrania wacho: We joga odhi olama.
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Get up early [tomorrow] morning. Go and stand in front of the king and tell him that Yahweh God, the one that the Hebrew people [worship], says this: ‘Let my people go, in order that they may worship me [in the desert].
14 Ka ok kamano to wangʼni abiro oro masichena madongo dongo kuomi, kuom jodongi kod kuom jogi mondo ingʼe ni onge ngʼat machal koda e piny ngima.
[If you do not let them go], this time I will [punish] with plagues [not only] your officials and the rest of your people, but I will punish you yourself [SYN], in order that you will know there is no [god] like me anywhere in the world.
15 Ka dine arie bada mi agoyi gi tuo moro kaachiel gi jogi, to dikoro asetieki e wangʼ piny.
By this time I could have used my power [MTY] to strike you and your people with terrible diseases that would have wiped you all from the earth.
16 Makmana asetingʼi malo mana ne wachni, ni mondo anyisigo tekona kendo mondo nyinga olandi e piny duto.
But I have let you live. The reason I have let you live is to show you my power, with the result that [people] all over the earth [HYP] will know how great I [MTY] am.
17 To kaka pod ithago joga kendo itamori weyogi mondo gidhi,
You are still acting proudly and refusing to let my people go.
18 kiny sa machal kama anaor pe malich mapok none e piny Misri, nyaka nene.
So listen [to this]: About this time tomorrow I will cause very heavy hail to fall [in Egypt]. From the time Egypt first became [a country], there has never been a hailstorm [as bad as this one will be].
19 Chiw chik mondo jambu kaachiel gi gimoro amora ma un-go e pap okel kar tony, nikech pe biro chwer kuom ngʼato angʼata kata le moro amora ma pod ni oko ma ok odonjo e kar tony mi githo.’”
So you should send [a message to everyone] to put their cattle, and everything else that they own that is [out] in the fields, under shelters. The hail will fall on every person and every animal that is out in the fields and that is not put under a shelter, and they will all die.’” [So Moses/I did what Yahweh said].
20 Jodong Farao-go ma noluoro wach Jehova Nyasaye noreto mondo okel wasumbinigi kaachiel gi jambgi e kar tony.
Some of the king’s officials who heard what Yahweh had said became very afraid. So they put all their animals and their slaves under shelters.
21 To mago mane ok odew wach Jehova Nyasaye ne oweyo wasumbinigi gi jambgi e pap.
But those who did not pay any attention to what Yahweh had said left their slaves and their animals in the fields.
22 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya, “Rie badi kochomo polo mondo pe ochwe e piny Misri duto; kochwe kuom ji, le kod gimoro amora madongo e puothe mag Misri.”
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Raise your hand up toward the sky, in order that hail will fall all over the land of Egypt—on the people and on their animals and on all the plants in the fields.”
23 Ka Musa norieyo ludhe kochomo polo, Jehova Nyasaye nooro mor polo gi pe kendo polo nomil koni gi koni, kuom mano Jehova Nyasaye noolo pe e piny Misri.
So Moses/I lifted his/my stick up toward the sky. And Yahweh sent down hail, all over the land of Egypt. There was also thunder and lightning.
24 Pe nochwe kendo polo nomil koni gi koni. Ne en masich pe marachie moloyo nyaka piny Misri ne chakre.
While very heavy hail was falling, there was thunder, and lightning struck the ground. There had never been a hailstorm like that since Egypt first became a country.
25 E piny Misri duto pe nogoyo gimoro amora mantie e pewe; obed ji kata le. Nogoyo gimoro amora matwi e puothe kendo nolwero it yiende duto.
The hail struck everything that was in the fields all over Egypt—every person and every animal. The hail destroyed the plants in the fields and stripped [the leaves off] the trees.
26 Makmana piny Goshen kende ema pe ok ochwee, kama piny ma jo-Israel nodakie.
Only in the Goshen region, where the Israeli people were [living], was there no hail.
27 Eka Farao noluongo Musa gi Harun. Nowachonegi niya, “Koro aseketho. Jehova Nyasaye ni kare, to an kaachiel gi joga wasetimo richo.
Then the king sent [someone] to summon Aaron and Moses/me. [When they/we came to the king], he said to them/us, “This time [I admit that] I have sinned. What Yahweh [has done] is right, and what I and my people [have done] is wrong.
28 Kwanwa Jehova Nyasaye nimar mor polo gi pe oromowa. Abiro weyou mondo udhi, nimar onge tiende mondo umed bedo ka.”
(Pray to/Plead with) Yahweh [to cause it to stop]! [We] cannot [endure any more] of this thunder and hail! I will let your people go; they do not have to stay [here in Egypt] any longer.”
29 Musa nodwoko niya, “Ka asewuok oko mar dala, abiro yaro bada ka akwayo Jehova Nyasaye. Polo mamor biro rumo bende pe ok nochak ochwe kendo, mondo ingʼe ni piny en mar Jehova Nyasaye.
Moses/I replied, “As soon as I go out of this city, I will lift up my hands [and pray] to Yahweh. Then the thunder will cease, and no more hail [will fall]. [This will happen] in order that you will know that Yahweh, [not your gods], controls everything [that happens] on the earth.
30 To kata kamano angʼeyo ni in kaachiel gi jodongi pod ok uluoro Jehova Nyasaye.”
But as for you and your officials, I know that you do not yet fear Yahweh God.”
31 (Tworo gi shairi nokethore chuth, nimar noyudo ka shairi oseketo wangʼe, to tworo nosethiewo.
When the hail fell, the flax was ruined because the buds were forming, and the barley was ruined because its grain was ripe.
32 Ngano to ne ok okethore nimar ne pok gimoyo.)
But none of the wheat crops was ruined, because their shoots were still very small.
33 Eka Musa noweyo Farao mi gidhi oko mar dala. Noyaro bade ni Jehova Nyasaye, mi mor polo kod pe norumo kendo koth bende ne ok ochwe e piny.
So Moses/I left the king and went outside the city. He/I lifted up his/my hands toward Yahweh [and prayed]. Then the thunder and the hail stopped, and the rain also stopped falling on the land [of Egypt].
34 Kane Farao oneno ka koth, pe gi mor polo orumo, to nomedo timo richo. Nomedo bedo gi chuny matek en kaachiel gi jodonge.
But when the king saw that the rain and the hail and the thunder had stopped, he sinned again. He and his officials continued to be stubborn [IDM].
35 Kuom mano chuny Farao nomedo bedo matek kendo ne ok oyie ni jo-Israel mondo odhi kaka ne Jehova Nyasaye osewacho kokalo kuom Musa.
So, just as Yahweh had predicted by what he told Moses/me, the king did not allow the Israeli people to leave.
