< 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.
Apre sa, Seyè a di Moyiz konsa: -Ale kote farawon an. W'a di l': Men sa Seyè a di: Kite pèp mwen an ale pou l' kapab fè sèvis pou mwen.
2 But if you refuse to let them go, I will plague your whole country with frogs.
Koute byen. Si ou derefize kite yo ale, mwen pral lage krapo sou tout peyi a pou pini ou.
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.
Gwo larivyè a pral plen krapo. Yo pral soti nan larivyè a, y'ap anvayi toupatou, y'ap antre lakay ou, anndan chanm ou, y'ap moute jouk nan kabann ou. Y'ap antre lakay moun pa ou yo, lakay tout pèp ou a, nan fou kote yo fè pen, nan ganmèl kote yo pare pat.
4 The frogs will come up on you and your people and all your officials.’”
Y'ap vole sou ou, sou pèp ou a, sou tout moun pa ou yo.
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.’”
Seyè a di Moyiz: -Di Arawon lonje men li avèk baton l' lan sou larivyè yo, sou kannal yo ak sou m'a dlo yo. Fè krapo moute kouvri peyi Lejip la.
6 So Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt, and the frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt.
Arawon lonje men l' sou tout dlo nan peyi Lejip la. Epi krapo moute kouvri tout peyi a.
7 But the magicians did the same thing by their magic arts, and they also brought frogs up onto the land of Egypt.
Men majisyen peyi Lejip yo, avèk maji yo, te rive fè menm bagay la tou. Yo fè krapo moute vin sou peyi Lejip la.
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.”
Farawon an rele Moyiz ak Arawon, li di yo: -Lapriyè Seyè a, mande l' pou l' chase krapo sa yo soti sou mwen ak sou pèp mwen an. Apre sa, m'a kite pèp ou a ale pou yo ka touye bèt y'ap ofri bay Seyè a.
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?”
Lè sa a Moyiz di farawon an: -Se ou menm, farawon, ki konnen kilè ou vle pou m' lapriyè Seyè a pou ou, pou moun pa ou yo ansanm ak pèp ou a. Wi, se ou ki pou di m' kilè ou vle pou Seyè a wete krapo sa yo lakay ou ak nan kay pèp ou a, pou yo rete nan larivyè a ase.
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.
Farawon an reponn: -W'a fè sa denmen. Moyiz di li: -Sa va pase jan ou di l' la, pou ou sa konnen pa gen Bondye tankou Seyè a, Bondye nou an.
11 The frogs will depart from you and your houses and your officials and your people; they will remain only in the Nile.”
Krapo yo pral soti lakay ou, y'a wete kò yo sou ou, sou moun pa ou yo ak sou pèp ou a. Se nan gwo larivyè a ase va gen krapo.
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.
Moyiz ak Arawon soti lakay farawon an. Moyiz lapriyè Seyè a ak tout kè l' pou krapo li te voye sou farawon yo.
13 And the LORD did as Moses requested, and the frogs in the houses, the courtyards, and the fields died.
Seyè a fè sa Moyiz te mande l' la: krapo yo mouri toupatou, nan kay, nan lakou, nan jaden.
14 They were piled into countless heaps, and there was a terrible stench in the land.
Moun peyi Lejip yo ranmase yo fè gwo pil. Toupatou nan peyi a te santi move ak krapo mouri yo.
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.
Lè farawon an wè yo te ba l' yon souf, li konmanse fè tèt di ankò. Li pa koute Moyiz ak Arawon, tankou Seyè a te di a.
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.’”
Seyè a di Moyiz konsa: -Di Arawon lonje baton l' lan, frape pousyè tè a. Pousyè a va tounen vèmin nan tout peyi Lejip la.
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.
Moyiz ak Arawon fè sa vre. Arawon lonje men li avèk baton an, li frape pousyè tè a. Pousyè a tounen vèmin sou tout moun ak sou tout bèt. Tout pousyè tè a tounen vèmin nan tout peyi Lejip la.
18 The magicians tried to produce gnats using their magic arts, but they could not. And the gnats remained on man and beast.
Majisyen yo vin ankò ak maji yo pou yo te fè menm bagay la tou. Men, fwa sa a, yo pa t' kapab. vèmin yo te sou tout moun ak sou tout bèt.
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.
Majisyen yo di farawon an: -Sa se travay Bondye. Men farawon an t'ap fè tèt di toujou. Li pa t' vle koute Moyiz ak Arawon, tankou Seyè a te di a.
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.
Seyè a di Moyiz ankò: -Leve granmaten, ale jwenn farawon an lè li pral larivyè a. W'a di l': men sa Seyè a di: Kite pèp mwen an ale, pou yo ka fè sèvis pou mwen.
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.
Si ou pa kite pèp mwen an ale, mwen pral voye mouchavè sou ou, sou moun pa ou yo, sou tout pèp ou a ak nan tout kay yo. Mouchavè pral plen kay moun peyi Lejip yo, yo pral kouvri tout peyi a.
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.
Men jou sa a, m'a fè yon bagay pou peyi Gochenn kote pèp mwen an rete a. p'ap gen yon mouchavè la. Konsa, w'a konnen se mwen menm, Seyè a, k'ap travay nan peyi a.
23 I will make a distinction between My people and your people. This sign will take place tomorrow.’”
m'a veye pou sa k'ap rive pèp ou a pa rive pèp mwen an. Se denmen mwen pral fè mèvèy sa a.
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.
Seyè a fè sa vre jan l' te di l' la: yon kantite mouchavè desann sou kay farawon an, sou kay moun pa l' yo ak sou tout peyi a. Mouchavè t'ap devaste tout peyi Lejip la.
25 Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “Go, sacrifice to your God within this land.”
Lè sa a, farawon an fè rele Moyiz ak Arawon, li di yo: -Nou mèt al ofri bèt pou touye pou Bondye nou an, men n'ap fè l' isit la nan peyi a.
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?
Moyiz reponn li: -Li p'ap bon pou nou fè l' konsa, paske moun peyi Lejip yo ka ofiske lè y'a wè ki kalite bèt nou touye pou ofri bay Seyè a, Bondye nou an. Si nou ofri bagay sa yo devan moun peyi Lejip yo, y'a ka touye nou ak kout ròch.
27 We must make a three-day journey into the wilderness and sacrifice to the LORD our God as He commands us.”
Se pou nou mache twa jou nan dezè a. Se la n'a touye bèt n'ap ofri bay Seyè a, Bondye nou an, jan li te di nou an.
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.”
Farawon an di li: -Bon! M'ap kite nou al touye bèt n'ap ofri bay Seyè a, Bondye nou an, nan dezè a, men se pa pou nou al twò lwen. Lèfini, lapriyè pou mwen tou.
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.”
Moyiz di l' konsa: -Kou m' soti isit la, mwen pral lapriyè Seyè a. Denmen mouchavè yo ap soti sou ou ansanm ak sou moun pa ou yo ak sou tout pèp la. Yo pral byen lwen. Men, piga ou twonpe nou ankò. Pa refize kite pèp la al ofri bèt pou yo touye bay Seyè a.
30 Then Moses left Pharaoh and prayed to the LORD,
Moyiz soti lakay farawon an, l' al lapriyè Seyè a.
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.
Seyè a fè sa Moyiz te mande l' la. Li fè mouchavè yo soti sou farawon an, sou tout moun pa l' yo ansanm ak sou tout pèp la. Li fè yo ale byen lwen. Pa yon mouchavè pa t' rete.
32 But Pharaoh hardened his heart this time as well, and he would not let the people go.
Men, menm jou sa a, farawon an fè tèt di ankò, li pa t' vle kite pèp la ale.
