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,
Yawe alobaki na Moyize: « Kende epai ya Faraon, pamba te nakomisi motema na ye mpe ya bakalaka na ye makasi, mpo ete nasala bilembo na Ngai ya kokamwa kati na bango,
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.”
mpe ete oyebisa bana na yo mpe bakoko na yo makambo oyo nasalaki na Ejipito mpe bilembo ya kokamwa oyo nasalaki kati na bango. Bongo bokoyeba ete Ngai nazali Yawe. »
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.
Boye Moyize mpe Aron bakendeki epai ya Faraon mpe balobaki na ye: « Tala makambo oyo Yawe, Nzambe ya Ba-Ebre, alobi: ‹ Kino tango nini okoboya komikitisa liboso na Ngai? Tika bato na Ngai kokende kogumbamela Ngai.
4 But if you refuse to let My people go, I will bring locusts into your territory tomorrow.
Soki oboyi kotika bango kokende, lobi nakotinda mabanki na mokili na yo.
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.
Ekotondisa mokili ya Ejipito na ndenge ete mabele ekomonana lisusu te. Mabanki yango ekolia mwa biloko moke oyo mvula ya mabanga etikaki; ekolia mpe banzete na bino nyonso oyo ezali kokola kati na bilanga.
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.
Ekotonda na bandako na yo, ya bakalaka na yo mpe ya bato nyonso ya Ejipito; ezala batata na yo to bakoko na yo batikala nanu komona te likambo ya boye wuta bazala na mokili oyo kino lelo. › » Moyize abalukaki mpe atikaki ndako ya Faraon.
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?”
Bakalaka ya Faraon balobaki na ye: — Kino tango nini moto oyo akozala motambo mpo na biso? Tika bango bakende kogumbamela Yawe, Nzambe na bango. Ozali komona te ete Ejipito ebebi?
8 So Moses and Aaron were brought back to Pharaoh. “Go, worship the LORD your God,” he said. “But who exactly will be going?”
Bongo bazongisaki Moyize mpe Aron epai ya Faraon; mpe Faraon alobaki na bango: — Bokende kogumbamela Yawe, Nzambe na bino. Kasi banani oyo bakokende?
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.”
Moyize azongisaki: — Tokokende elongo na bilenge na biso, bampaka na biso, bana na biso ya mibali mpe ya basi, bameme na biso, bantaba na biso mpe bangombe na biso; pamba te tokosala feti mpo na lokumu ya Yawe.
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.
Faraon alobaki na bango: — Soki nakotika bino kokende elongo na bana na bino, wana tika ete Yawe azala elongo na bino! Nzokande emonani solo ete bozali na makanisi mabe.
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.
Ekosalema bongo te! Kaka mibali nde bakokende kogumbamela Yawe, pamba te yango nde likambo oyo bozali kosenga ngai. Boye babenganaki Moyize mpe Aron liboso ya Faraon.
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.”
Yawe alobaki na Moyize: — Sembola loboko na yo na mokili ya Ejipito mpo ete obimisa mabanki kati na mokili yango mpe mabanki yango elia matiti nyonso ya bilanga, biloko nyonso oyo mvula ya mabanga ebebisaki te.
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.
Boye Moyize asembolaki lingenda na ye na mokili ya Ejipito mpe Yawe atindaki mopepe ya este mokolo mobimba mpe butu mobimba. Mpe tango tongo etanaki, mopepe yango eyaki na mabanki.
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.
Mabanki ekotaki kati na Ejipito nyonso mpe evandaki ebele na bisika nyonso ya Ejipito. Etumbu ya mabanki ya ndenge wana etikala nanu kozala te mpe ekotikala kozala lisusu te.
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.
Ezipaki mabele nyonso mpe mabele eyindaki. Eliaki nyonso oyo mvula ya mabanga ebebisaki te: matiti nyonso ya bilanga mpe bambuma nyonso ya banzete. Kati na mokili mobimba ya Ejipito, eloko moko te ya mobesu etikalaki na banzete to na matiti ya bilanga.
16 Pharaoh quickly summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “I have sinned against the LORD your God and against you.
Faraon abengisaki Moyize mpe Aron na lombangu, alobaki: — Nasali lisumu epai na Yawe, Nzambe na bino, mpe epai na bino.
17 Now please forgive my sin once more and appeal to the LORD your God, that He may remove this death from me.”
Sik’oyo lisusu, bolimbisa lisumu na ngai. Bobondela Yawe, Nzambe na bino, mpo ete alongola etumbu oyo ya kufa kati na ngai.
18 So Moses left Pharaoh’s presence and appealed to the LORD.
Moyize atikaki Faraon mpe abondelaki Yawe.
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.
Bongo Yawe akomisaki mopepe ya este ekumbaki moko ya weste oyo ememaki mabanki mpe ebwakaki yango na ebale monene ya Barozo. Ata libanki moko te etikalaki na bisika nyonso ya Ejipito.
20 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he would not let the Israelites go.
Kasi Yawe akomisaki lisusu motema ya Faraon makasi mpe Faraon aboyaki kotika bana ya Isalaele kokende.
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.”
Yawe alobaki na Moyize: — Sembola loboko na yo likolo mpo ete molili epanzana na mokili ya Ejipito, molili oyo ekosala ete bato batambola na kosimbasimba.
22 So Moses stretched out his hand toward heaven, and total darkness covered all the land of Egypt for three days.
Boye Moyize asembolaki loboko na ye likolo mpe molili makasi ezipaki mokili mobimba ya Ejipito mikolo misato.
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.
Na mikolo misato yango, moto moko te akokaki komona moto mosusu mpe kolongwa na esika oyo azali mpo na kokende na esika mosusu. Nzokande pole ezalaki na bisika nyonso oyo bana ya Isalaele bazalaki kovanda.
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.”
Faraon abengisaki Moyize mpe alobaki: — Bokende kogumbamela Yawe; bokende bino nyonso nzela moko, ezala basi mpe bana na bino. Kasi botika kaka bangombe, bameme mpe bantaba na bino.
25 But Moses replied, “You must also provide us with sacrifices and burnt offerings to present to the LORD our God.
Kasi Moyize alobaki: — Okopesa biso mbeka mpe makabo ya kotumba oyo tokobonzela Yawe, Nzambe na biso.
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.”
Bitonga na biso ya bibwele mpe ekokende nzela moko na biso; ata linzaka moko te ya ebwele ekotikala. Pamba te ezali kati na bibwele yango nde tokopona oyo tokobonzela Yawe, Nzambe na biso; mpe wana tokomi nanu kuna te, toyebi te ebwele nini tokobonza mpo na kogumbamela Yawe.
27 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he was unwilling to let them go.
Kasi Yawe akomisaki lisusu motema ya Faraon makasi; mpe Faraon aboyaki kaka kotika bango kokende.
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.”
Faraon alobaki na Moyize: — Longwa liboso na ngai mpe keba na yo! Koya lisusu liboso na ngai te! Mokolo oyo okoya lisusu liboso na ngai, okokufa.
29 “As you say,” Moses replied, “I will never see your face again.”
Moyize azongisaki: — Ndenge kaka olobi, nakotikala koya lisusu liboso na yo te!
