Exodus 8
1 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh and tell him that this is what the LORD says: ‘Let My people go, so that they may worship Me.
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ kũrĩ Firaũni ũmwĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova oigĩte ũũ: Rekereria andũ akwa mathiĩ, nĩgeetha makandungatĩre.
2 But if you refuse to let them go, I will plague your whole country with frogs.
Ũngĩrega kũmarekereria mathiĩ, nĩngũhũũra bũrũri waku wothe na mũthiro wa ciũra.
3 The Nile will teem with frogs, and they will come into your palace and up to your bedroom and onto your bed, into the houses of your officials and your people, and into your ovens and kneading bowls.
Rũũĩ rwa Nili rũkũiyũra ciũra. Igũũka ciambate o nginya nyũmba yaku ya ũthamaki o na nyũmba yaku ya toro o nginya ũrĩrĩ waku igũrũ, itoonye nyũmba cia anene aku, o na irũgĩrĩre andũ aku o ene, ikorwo kuo o na mariiko-inĩ maku na mĩharatĩ-inĩ ya gũkandĩrwo mũtu.
4 The frogs will come up on you and your people and all your officials.’”
Ciũra icio ikũrũgĩrĩre na irũgĩrĩre andũ aku o na anene aku.’”
5 And the LORD said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Stretch out your hand with your staff over the rivers and canals and ponds, and cause the frogs to come up onto the land of Egypt.’”
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Ĩra Harũni atĩrĩ, ‘Tambũrũkia guoko gwaku na rũthanju igũrũ rĩa tũrũũĩ, na mĩtaro, na tũmaria, ũtũme ciũra ciũke bũrũri-inĩ wa Misiri.’”
6 So Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt, and the frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Harũni agĩtambũrũkia guoko gwake igũrũ rĩa maaĩ ma bũrũri wa Misiri, nacio ciũra ikiumĩra ikĩiyũra bũrũri.
7 But the magicians did the same thing by their magic arts, and they also brought frogs up onto the land of Egypt.
No aringi ciama a bũrũri wa Misiri magĩĩka maũndũ o ta macio na ũndũ wa maũgĩ mao ma ũgo, o nao magĩtũma ciũra ciũke bũrũri wa Misiri.
8 Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “Pray to the LORD to take the frogs away from me and my people. Then I will let your people go, that they may sacrifice to the LORD.”
Firaũni agĩĩta Musa na Harũni, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Hooyai Jehova anjehererie na ehererie andũ akwa ciũra ici, na nĩngũrekereria andũ anyu mathiĩ makarutĩre Jehova magongona.”
9 Moses said to Pharaoh, “You may have the honor over me. When shall I pray for you and your officials and your people that the frogs (except for those in the Nile) may be taken away from you and your houses?”
Musa akĩĩra Firaũni atĩrĩ, “Wee nĩwe ngũhe gĩtĩĩo gĩa gũtua ihinda rĩa gũkũhoera, wee na anene aku o na andũ aku nĩguo inyuĩ na nyũmba cianyu mwehererwo nĩ ciũra, itigare o iria irĩ thĩinĩ wa Rũũĩ rwa Nili.”
10 “Tomorrow,” Pharaoh answered. “May it be as you say,” Moses replied, “so that you may know that there is no one like the LORD our God.
Firaũni akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũkaahooera rũciũ.” Nake Musa akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩgũtuĩke ũguo woiga, nĩgeetha ũmenye atĩ gũtirĩ mũndũ ũhaana ta Jehova Ngai witũ.
11 The frogs will depart from you and your houses and your officials and your people; they will remain only in the Nile.”
Ciũra nĩcigũkweherera na ciehere nyũmba ciaku, cieherere anene aku na andũ aku; itigare o iria irĩ rũũĩ-inĩ rwa Nili.”
12 After Moses and Aaron had left Pharaoh, Moses cried out to the LORD for help with the frogs that He had brought against Pharaoh.
Na rĩrĩa Musa na Harũni mehereire Firaũni, Musa agĩkaĩra Jehova ũhoro wĩgiĩ ciũra iria aarehithĩirie Firaũni.
13 And the LORD did as Moses requested, and the frogs in the houses, the courtyards, and the fields died.
Nake Jehova agĩĩka o ũrĩa Musa aahooete. Ciũra iria ciarĩ nyũmba, na iria ciarĩ nja na iria ciarĩ mĩgũnda igĩkua.
14 They were piled into countless heaps, and there was a terrible stench in the land.
Ikĩũnganio ikĩigwo irũndo, nacio ikĩnungia bũrũri.
15 When Pharaoh saw that there was relief, however, he hardened his heart and would not listen to Moses and Aaron, just as the LORD had said.
No rĩrĩa Firaũni onire atĩ marĩkũhoorerwo nĩ thĩĩna-rĩ, akĩũmia ngoro na akĩrega kũigua Musa na Harũni, o ta ũrĩa Jehova oigĩte.
16 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Stretch out your staff and strike the dust of the earth, that it may turn into swarms of gnats throughout the land of Egypt.’”
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Ĩra Harũni atĩrĩ, ‘Tambũrũkia rũthanju rwaku ũgũthe rũkũngũ rũrĩa rũrĩ thĩ,’ na bũrũri-inĩ wothe wa Misiri-rĩ, rũkũngũ rũu rũgũtuĩka rwagĩ.”
17 This they did, and when Aaron stretched out his hand with his staff and struck the dust of the earth, gnats came upon man and beast. All the dust of the earth turned into gnats throughout the land of Egypt.
Nao magĩĩka ũguo; na rĩrĩa Harũni aatambũrũkirie guoko anyiitĩte rũthanju-rĩ, agũtha rũkũngũ naguo, rwagĩ rũgĩtambĩrĩra andũ na nyamũ. Rũkũngũ ruothe bũrũri-inĩ wa Misiri rũgĩtuĩka rwagĩ.
18 The magicians tried to produce gnats using their magic arts, but they could not. And the gnats remained on man and beast.
No hĩndĩ ĩrĩa aringi a ciama a bũrũri wa Misiri maageririe kũrehe rwagĩ na maũgĩ mao ma ũgo-rĩ, nĩmaremirwo. Naruo rwagĩ rũgĩtambĩrĩra andũ na nyamũ.
19 “This is the finger of God,” the magicians said to Pharaoh. But Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he would not listen to them, just as the LORD had said.
Aringi acio a ciama makĩĩra Firaũni atĩrĩ, “Ũyũ nĩ hinya wa kĩara kĩa Ngai.” No Firaũni akĩũmia ngoro akĩrega kũigua, o ta ũrĩa Jehova oigĩte.
20 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Get up early in the morning, and when Pharaoh goes out to the water, stand before him and tell him that this is what the LORD says: ‘Let My people go, so that they may worship Me.
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Ũkĩra rũciinĩ tene, uumĩrĩre Firaũni agĩthiĩ Rũũĩ rwa Nili, ũmwĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Rekereria andũ akwa mathiĩ nĩgeetha makandungatĩre.
21 But if you will not let My people go, I will send swarms of flies upon you and your officials and your people and your houses. The houses of the Egyptians and even the ground where they stand will be full of flies.
Ũngĩaga kũreka mathiĩ-rĩ, ngũkũrehera mĩrumbĩ ya ngi, ndehere anene aku na andũ aku, o na ndĩcirehe nyũmba-inĩ cianyu. Nyũmba cia andũ a Misiri ikũiyũra ngi, o na ningĩ ciyũre thĩ kũrĩa guothe marĩ.
22 But on that day I will give special treatment to the land of Goshen, where My people live; no swarms of flies will be found there. In this way you will know that I, the LORD, am in the land.
“‘No rĩrĩ, mũthenya ũcio ngeeka ũndũ ũrĩ ngũrani bũrũri-inĩ wa Gosheni, kũrĩa andũ akwa matũũraga; gũtikagĩa na mĩrumbĩ ya ngi kũu, nĩgeetha ũmenye atĩ niĩ, Jehova, ndĩ bũrũri-inĩ ũyũ.
23 I will make a distinction between My people and your people. This sign will take place tomorrow.’”
Nĩngekĩra ngũũrani gatagatĩ ka andũ akwa na aku. Rũciũ nĩrĩo kĩama gĩkĩ gĩgekĩka.’”
24 And the LORD did so. Thick swarms of flies poured into Pharaoh’s palace and into the houses of his officials. Throughout Egypt the land was ruined by swarms of flies.
Na ũguo noguo Jehova eekire. Ngi mĩrumbĩ mĩnene ikĩiyũra nyũmba ya ũthamaki ya Firaũni na igĩtoonya nyũmba cia anene ake, naguo bũrũri wa Misiri wothe ũkĩanangwo nĩ ngi icio.
25 Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “Go, sacrifice to your God within this land.”
Ningĩ Firaũni agĩĩta Musa na Harũni, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Thiĩi mũkarutĩre Ngai wanyu iruta gũkũ bũrũri-inĩ.”
26 But Moses replied, “It would not be right to do that, because the sacrifices we offer to the LORD our God would be detestable to the Egyptians. If we offer sacrifices that are detestable before the Egyptians, will they not stone us?
No Musa akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Gũtingĩagĩrĩra gwĩka ũguo. Magongona marĩa tũkũrutĩra Jehova Ngai witũ nĩ mekuoneka marĩ magigi nĩ andũ a Misiri. Tũngĩkĩruta magongona marĩ magigi maitho-inĩ mao-rĩ, githĩ matigũtũhũũra na mahiga nyuguto?
27 We must make a three-day journey into the wilderness and sacrifice to the LORD our God as He commands us.”
No nginya tũthiĩ rũgendo rwa mĩthenya ĩtatũ werũ-inĩ tũkarutĩre Jehova Ngai witũ magongona, o ta ũrĩa atwathĩte.”
28 Pharaoh answered, “I will let you go and sacrifice to the LORD your God in the wilderness, but you must not go very far. Now pray for me.”
Firaũni akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩngũmũrekereria mũthiĩ mũkarutĩre Jehova Ngai wanyu magongona werũ-inĩ, no mũtigathiĩ kũraya mũno. Na rĩu, hooerai.”
29 “As soon as I leave you,” Moses said, “I will pray to the LORD, so that tomorrow the swarms of flies will depart from Pharaoh and his officials and his people. But Pharaoh must not act deceitfully again by refusing to let the people go and sacrifice to the LORD.”
Musa agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Ndaarĩkia kuuma harĩwe, nĩngũhooya Jehova, na rũciũ ngi nĩikoima kũrĩ Firaũni na anene ake, na andũ ake. No ũkĩmenyerere atĩ Firaũni ndageke ũndũ wa kũheenania rĩngĩ, na ũndũ wa kwaga kũrekereria andũ mathiĩ makarutĩre Jehova magongona.”
30 Then Moses left Pharaoh and prayed to the LORD,
Musa agĩkiuma harĩ Firaũni, akĩhooya Jehova,
31 and the LORD did as Moses requested. He removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh and his officials and his people; not one fly remained.
nake Jehova agĩĩka ũrĩa Musa aamũhoire; nacio ngi ikĩeherera Firaũni, na anene ake, na andũ ake, na gũtirĩ ngi yatigarire.
32 But Pharaoh hardened his heart this time as well, and he would not let the people go.
No rĩrĩ, o na ihinda rĩĩrĩ Firaũni akĩũmia ngoro yake akĩrega kũrekereria andũ mathiĩ.
