< 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,
Waaqayyos Museedhaan akkana jedhe; “Faraʼoonitti ol seeni; ani akka mallattoowwan koo kanneen isaan gidduutti hojjedhuuf jedhee Faraʼoonii fi qondaaltota isaa mata jabeeyyii godheera;
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.”
kunis akka ati waan ani warra Gibxi godhe, mallattoo ani isaan gidduutti argisiises ijoollee keetii fi ijoollee ijoollee keetiitti himtee akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe akka beektaniif taʼe.”
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.
Musee fi Aroonis Faraʼoon bira dhaqanii akkana jedhaniin; “Waaqayyo Waaqni Ibrootaa akkana jedha: ‘Ati hamma yoomiitti fuula koo duratti gad of qabuu didda? Akka isaan na tajaajilaniif saba koo gad dhiisi.
4 But if you refuse to let My people go, I will bring locusts into your territory tomorrow.
Yoo ati gad isaan dhiisuu didde, kunoo ani bori biyya keetti hawwaannisa nan fida.
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.
Hawwaannisni kunis hamma namni tokko iyyuu arguu dadhabutti lafa haguuga. Innis waanuma cabbii irraa isinii hafe illee ni fixa; mukkeen alatti isinii guddachaa jiranis nyaatee fixa.
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.
Inni mana kee, mana qondaaltota keetii hundaa fi mana warra Gibxi hundumaa guuta; kunis waan abbootiin keetii fi abbootiin abbootii keetii gaafa biyya kana qubatanii jalqabanii hamma harʼaatti hin arginii dha.’” Kana booddee Museen garagalee Faraʼoon biraa baʼe.
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?”
Qondaaltonni Faraʼoonis, “Namichi kun hamma yoomiitti kiyyoo nutti taʼa? Namoonni kun akka Waaqayyo Waaqa isaanii tajaajilaniif gad dhiisi. Akka Gibxi badde ati amma illee hin hubannee?” jedhaniin.
8 So Moses and Aaron were brought back to Pharaoh. “Go, worship the LORD your God,” he said. “But who exactly will be going?”
Musee fi Aroonin deebisanii Faraʼoonitti geessan; Faraʼoonis, “Dhaqaatii Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan waaqeffadhaa! Garuu eenyutu deema?” jedheen.
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.”
Museenis, “Nu sababii ayyaana Waaqayyoo ayyaaneffannuuf dargaggoota keenyaa fi maanguddoota keenya, ilmaanii fi intallan keenya, bushaayee fi loon keenya qabannee deemna” jedhee deebise.
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.
Faraʼoonis akkana jedhe; “Yoo ani dubartoota keessanii fi ijoollee keessan isin wajjin gad dhiise, mee Waaqayyo isin wajjin haa taʼu! Kunoo waan hamaatu isin dura jira.
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.
Kun hin taʼu! Akka warri dhiiraa qofti dhaqanii Waaqayyo waaqeffatan godhaa; isin kanuma barbaaddaniitii.” Isaanis fuula Faraʼoon duraa gad baafaman.
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.”
Waaqayyos Museedhaan, “Akka hawwaannisni biyya Gibxitti buʼee biqiltuu lafa qotiisaa hunda, waan cabbii irraa hafe hundas nyaatuuf harka kee Gibxi irratti diriirsi” jedhe.
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.
Museenis ulee isaa Gibxi irratti diriirsinaan Waaqayyo guyyaa sana guutuu fi halkan sana guutuu akka bubbeen baʼa biiftuu biyyattii keessatti bubbisu godhe; ganama itti aanus bubbeen sun hawwaannisa fidee dhufe;
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.
hawwaannisni sunis Gibxi guutuu weerare; biyya hunda keessas baayʼinaan qubate. Dhaʼichi hawwaannisaa kan akkasii duraan takkumaa buʼee hin beeku; ergasiis takkumaa deebiʼee hin buune.
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.
Hawwaannisni sunis hamma lafti gurraachaʼutti lafa hunda haguuge; innis waan cabbii irraa hafe hunda, waan alatti biqile hunda, ija mukaa illee ni nyaate. Biyya Gibxi hunda keessatti wanni lalisaan tokko iyyuu muka irratti yookaan biqiltuu irratti hin hafne.
16 Pharaoh quickly summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “I have sinned against the LORD your God and against you.
Faraʼoonis dafee Musee fi Aroonin waamee akkana jedheen; “Ani Waaqayyo Waaqa keessanii fi isinitti cubbuu hojjedheera.
17 Now please forgive my sin once more and appeal to the LORD your God, that He may remove this death from me.”
Egaa mee cubbuu koo naa dhiisaa; akka inni dhaʼicha nama ajjeesu kana narraa fuudhuufis Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan naa kadhadhaa.”
18 So Moses left Pharaoh’s presence and appealed to the LORD.
Museenis Faraʼoon biraa gad baʼee Waaqayyo kadhate.
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.
Waaqayyos bubbee sana gara bubbee lixa biiftuu jabaatti geeddare; bubbeen sunis hawwaannisa sana fuudhee Galaana Diimaatti naqe. Gibxi keessatti hawwaannisni tokko iyyuu hin hafne.
20 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he would not let the Israelites go.
Waaqayyo garuu Faraʼoonin mata jabeessa godhe; Faraʼoonis Israaʼeloota gad hin dhiifne.
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.”
Waaqayyo immoo Museedhaan, “Akka dukkanni Gibxi irra buʼuuf harka kee gara samiitti diriirsi” jedhe.
22 So Moses stretched out his hand toward heaven, and total darkness covered all the land of Egypt for three days.
Museen harka isaa gara samiitti diriirse; dukkanni limixiin isaa guyyaa sadii Gibxi guutuu haguuge.
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.
Guyyaa sadan sana namni wal hin argu ture; lafa jiruus hin sochoʼu ture. Israaʼeloonni hundi garuu iddoo jiraatanitti ifa qabu turan.
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.”
Faraʼoonis Musee ofitti waamee, “Dhaqaatii Waaqayyo waaqeffadhaa. Dubartoonnii fi ijoolleen keessanis isin wajjin haa deemani; bushaayee fi loon keessan qofa dhiisaa deemaa” jedheen.
25 But Moses replied, “You must also provide us with sacrifices and burnt offerings to present to the LORD our God.
Museen garuu akkana jedhe; “Ati akka nu Waaqayyo Waaqa keenyaaf aarsaa fi qalma gubamu dhiʼeessinuuf nuu eeyyamuu qabda.
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.”
Horiin keenyas nu wajjin dhaquu qaba; kotteen tokko iyyuu hin hafu. Waaqayyo Waaqa keenya waaqeffachuuf isaan keessaa tokko tokkotti fayyadamna; hamma achi geenyutti Waaqayyo waaqeffachuuf maalitti akka fayyadamnu hin beeknu.”
27 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he was unwilling to let them go.
Waaqayyo garuu Faraʼoonin mata jabeessa godhe; innis gad isaan dhiisuu dide.
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.”
Faraʼoonis Museedhaan, “Fuula koo duraa badi! Lammata fuula koo akka hin argine beekkadhu; ati gaafa fuula koo argite ni duuta!” jedhe.
29 “As you say,” Moses replied, “I will never see your face again.”
Museenis deebisee, “Akkuma ati jette, ani lammata fuula keetti hin mulʼadhu” jedhe.
