< Exodus 10 >
1 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh, for I have hardened his heart and the hearts of his officials, that I may perform these miraculous signs of Mine among them,
Alò, SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Ale vè Farawon, paske Mwen te fè kè l di, ak kè a sèvitè li yo, pou Mwen kapab fè sign sa yo selon Mwen menm pami yo,
2 and that you may tell your children and grandchildren how severely I dealt with the Egyptians when I performed miraculous signs among them, so that all of you may know that I am the LORD.”
epi pou ou kapab rakonte nan zòrèy fis ou yo, ak fis a fis ou yo sa Mwen te fè Égypte, ak jan Mwen te fè sign Mwen yo pami yo, pou nou kapab konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a.”
3 So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and told him, “This is what the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, says: ‘How long will you refuse to humble yourself before Me? Let My people go, so that they may worship Me.
Moïse avèk Aaron te ale vè Farawon, e te di li: “Konsa pale SENYÈ a, Bondye a Ebre yo: ‘Jiska konbyen de tan ou va refize imilye ou devan Mwen? Kite pèp Mwen an ale, pou yo kapab sèvi Mwen.
4 But if you refuse to let My people go, I will bring locusts into your territory tomorrow.
“‘Oswa, si ou refize kite pèp Mwen an ale, gade byen, demen Mwen va mennen krikèt nan teritwa pa w la.
5 They will cover the face of the land so that no one can see it. They will devour whatever is left after the hail and eat every tree that grows in your fields.
Yo va kouvri tout sifas latè pou pèsòn pa kab wè tè a. Yo va anplis manje rès nan sa ki te chape yo—sa ki te rete pou ou aprè lagrèl la—e yo va manje chak bwa ki vin boujonnen pou ou nan chan an.
6 They will fill your houses and the houses of all your officials and every Egyptian—something neither your fathers nor your grandfathers have seen since the day they came into this land.’” Then Moses turned and left Pharaoh’s presence.
Konsa, kay nou yo va vin ranpli, kay a tout sèvitè nou yo, e kay a tout Ejipsyen yo, yon bagay ke ni papa nou yo, ni papa a papa nou yo pa t janm wè, depi jou ke yo te vini sou tè a, jiska jodi a.’” Konsa, li te vire kite Farawon.
7 Pharaoh’s officials asked him, “How long will this man be a snare to us? Let the people go, so that they may worship the LORD their God. Do you not yet realize that Egypt is in ruins?”
Sèvitè Farawon yo te di li: “Pou konbyen de tan mesye sila a ap rete tankou yon pèlen pou nou? Kite mesye yo ale pou yo kapab sèvi SENYÈ Bondye a yo a. Èske ou pa wè ke Égypte gen tan fin detwi?”
8 So Moses and Aaron were brought back to Pharaoh. “Go, worship the LORD your God,” he said. “But who exactly will be going?”
Alò, yo te mennen Moïse avèk Aaron retounen vè Farawon. Li te di yo: “Ale sèvi SENYÈ a, Bondye ou a! Kilès nan nou k ap prale yo?”
9 “We will go with our young and old,” Moses replied. “We will go with our sons and daughters, and with our flocks and herds, for we must hold a feast to the LORD.”
Moïse te di: “Nou va ale avèk jenn nou yo, ak granmoun nou yo. Avèk fis nou yo ak fi nou yo, avèk bann mouton nou yo, ak twoupo nou yo. Nou va ale, paske nou oblije fè yon fèt pou onore SENYÈ a.”
10 Then Pharaoh told them, “May the LORD be with you if I ever let you go with your little ones. Clearly you are bent on evil.
Alò li te di yo: “Vrèman SENYÈ a avèk nou, si janmen ou wè mwen ta kite nou avèk pitit nou yo ale! Veye nou, paske se mechanste nou anvizaje nan tèt nou.
11 No, only the men may go and worship the LORD, since that is what you have been requesting.” And Moses and Aaron were driven from Pharaoh’s presence.
Se pa konsa! Ale koulye a ak mesye ki pami nou yo, pou sèvi SENYÈ a, konsi se sa menm nou vle fè.” Konsa yo te chase yo ale kite prezans Farawon.
12 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the land of Egypt, so that the locusts may swarm over it and devour every plant in the land—everything that the hail has left behind.”
Alò SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Lonje men ou sou peyi Égypte la pou krikèt yo, pou yo kapab vin monte sou peyi Égypte la, pou yo ka manje chak plan ki nan tè a, menm tout sa ke lagrèl la te kite yo.”
13 So Moses stretched out his staff over the land of Egypt, and throughout that day and night the LORD sent an east wind across the land. By morning the east wind had brought the locusts.
Alò, Moïse te lonje baton li sou peyi Égypte la, e SENYÈ a te dirije yon van lès sou latè pandan tout jounen an, ak tout nwit lan. Epi lè li te vin maten, van lès la te pote krikèt yo.
14 The locusts swarmed across the land and settled over the entire territory of Egypt. Never before had there been so many locusts, and never again will there be.
Krikèt yo te vini sou tout latè an Égypte. Yo te vin rete nan tout teritwa Égypte la; yo te debòde l nèt. Pa t janm genyen fòs kantite krikèt egal a sa a, ni p ap janm genyen ankò.
15 They covered the face of all the land until it was black, and they consumed all the plants on the ground and all the fruit on the trees that the hail had left behind. Nothing green was left on any tree or plant in all the land of Egypt.
Paske yo te kouvri sifas tout tè a, jiskaske latè te vin tounwa, epi yo te manje chak plant peyi a ak tout fwi nan bwa ke lagrèl te kite yo. Konsa, anyen vèt pa t rete nan bwa yo ni plant chan yo nan tout peyi Égypte la.
16 Pharaoh quickly summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “I have sinned against the LORD your God and against you.
Alò, Farawon te fè vit pou rele Moïse avèk Aaron, e li te di: “Mwen te peche kont SENYÈ a Bondye nou an, e kont nou menm.
17 Now please forgive my sin once more and appeal to the LORD your God, that He may remove this death from me.”
Alò, pou sa, souple padone peche mwen yo sèlman pou fwa sa a, e fè lapriyè pou mwen bay SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, pou Li ta sèlman retire lanmò sa a sou mwen.”
18 So Moses left Pharaoh’s presence and appealed to the LORD.
Li te sòti devan Farawon e li te fè lapriyè bay SENYÈ a.
19 And the LORD changed the wind to a very strong west wind that carried off the locusts and blew them into the Red Sea. Not a single locust remained anywhere in Egypt.
Alò, SENYÈ a te fè van an chanje an yon van lwès byen fò ki te leve pran tout krikèt yo, e te voye yo nan Lamè Wouj. Menm yon sèl krikèt pa t rete nan tout teritwa Égypte la.
20 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he would not let the Israelites go.
Men SENYÈ a te fè kè Farawon an vin di, e li pa t kite fis Israël yo ale.
21 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward heaven, so that darkness may spread over the land of Egypt—a palpable darkness.”
Alò SENYÈ a te di Moïse: “Lonje men ou vè syèl la, pou kapab vin gen tenèb sou tout peyi Égypte la, menm yon tenèb tèlman lou ke yon moun ka santi l.”
22 So Moses stretched out his hand toward heaven, and total darkness covered all the land of Egypt for three days.
Alò Moïse te lonje men l vè syèl la, e te vin gen yon pwofon tenèb nan tout peyi Égypte la pandan twa jou.
23 No one could see anyone else, and for three days no one left his place. Yet all the Israelites had light in their dwellings.
Yo pa t kapab wè youn lòt ni pèsòn pa t leve kite kote yo ye a pandan twa jou. Men tout fis Israël yo te gen limyè nan andwa pa yo a.
24 Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and said, “Go, worship the LORD. Even your little ones may go with you; only your flocks and herds must stay behind.”
Alò Farawon te rele Moïse. Li te di: “Ale, sèvi SENYÈ a, men kite bann mouton avèk twoupo yo dèyè. Menm pitit nou yo kapab ale avèk nou.”
25 But Moses replied, “You must also provide us with sacrifices and burnt offerings to present to the LORD our God.
Men Moïse te di: “Ou oblije osi kite nou fè sakrifis e brile ofrann, pou nou kapab fè sakrifis a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.
26 Even our livestock must go with us; not a hoof will be left behind, for we will need some of them to worship the LORD our God, and we will not know how we are to worship the LORD until we arrive.”
Pou sa, bèt nou yo tou ap prale avèk nou. Pa menm youn zago k ap rete dèyè, paske nou va pran kèk nan yo pou sèvi SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an. Epi jiskaske nou rive la, nou menm pa konnen avèk kilès nan yo nou oblije sèvi SENYÈ a.”
27 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he was unwilling to let them go.
Men SENYÈ a te fè kè a Farawon vin di, e li pa t dakò kite yo ale.
28 “Depart from me!” Pharaoh said to Moses. “Make sure you never see my face again, for on the day you see my face, you will die.”
Alò, Farawon te di li: “Sòti sou mwen! Veye ou pou pa wè figi m ankò, paske nan jou ou wè figi m ou va mouri.”
29 “As you say,” Moses replied, “I will never see your face again.”
Moïse te di: “Ou gen rezon; Mwen p ap janmen wè figi ou ankò!”
