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.
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis sị, “Jekwuru Fero gwa ya, ‘Nke a bụ ihe Onyenwe anyị kwuru. Hapụ ndị m, ka ha gaa fee m ofufe.
2 But if you refuse to let them go, I will plague your whole country with frogs.
Ọ bụrụ na ị jụ ịhapụ ha ka ha gaa, aga m eme ka awọ jupụta nʼala Ijipt niile.
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.
Osimiri Naịl ga-ejupụta nʼawọ. Ha ga-abata nʼụlọeze gị na nʼime ọnụụlọ ndina gị, ma nʼelu ihe ndina gị, ma nʼụlọ ndị na-ejere gị ozi, ma nʼụlọ ndị gị niile, na nʼebe a na-esi nri, ma nʼime ihe e ji agwakọta ụtụ ọka.
4 The frogs will come up on you and your people and all your officials.’”
Awọ ndị a ga-arịgokwa nʼahụ gị, na nʼahụ ndị gị, na nʼahụ ndị na-ejere gị ozi.’”
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.’”
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis sị, “Gwa Erọn, ‘Setịpụ aka gị ya na mkpanaka gị nʼelu osimiri niile, na mmiri nta na ọdọ mmiri ndị Ijipt, mee ka awọ jupụta ala Ijipt niile.’”
6 So Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt, and the frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt.
Erọn setịpụrụ aka nʼelu mmiri niile nke Ijipt, awọ pụtara kpuchie ala ahụ niile.
7 But the magicians did the same thing by their magic arts, and they also brought frogs up onto the land of Egypt.
Ma ndị majiki Ijipt jikwa ihe nzuzo ha mee ihe ahụ Mosis na Erọn mere. Ha mekwara ka awọ jupụta ala ahụ niile.
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.”
Fero kpọrọ Mosis na Erọn rịọọ ha sị, “Rịọọnụ Onyenwe anyị ka o wepụrụ mụ na ndị m awọ ndị a. Emesịa aga m ekwe ka ndị gị gaa chụọrọ Onyenwe anyị aja.”
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?”
Mosis zaghachiri Fero sị, “Gị ka ọ dịrị ịgwa m mgbe m ga-arịọ arịrịọ a nʼisi gị na nʼisi ndị gị, ka e wezuga awọ ndị a site nʼụlọ unu, ma hapụ naanị ndị nọ nʼosimiri Naịl.”
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.
Mgbe ahụ Fero sịrị Mosis, “Achọrọ m ka i mee ya echi.” Mosis zaghachiri Fero sị, “Ọ dị mma, ka ọ dịrị dịka i kwuru. Mgbe ahụ, ị ga-amata na o nweghị onye dịka Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị.
11 The frogs will depart from you and your houses and your officials and your people; they will remain only in the Nile.”
Awọ ndị a niile ga-apụ site nʼebe ị nọ, na site nʼụlọ gị na site nʼụlọ ndị na-ejere gị ozi na site nʼụlọ ndị Ijipt niile. Ọ bụ naanị nʼosimiri Naịl ka ha ga-anọ.”
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.
Mgbe Mosis na Erọn sitere nʼụlọ Fero pụọ, Mosis kpọkuru Onyenwe anyị ka o wepụ awọ ndị a o mere ka ha bịakwasị Fero.
13 And the LORD did as Moses requested, and the frogs in the houses, the courtyards, and the fields died.
Onyenwe anyị mere ihe Mosis rịọrọ. Awọ ndị ahụ niile nwụrụ nʼime ụlọ, na nʼama, na nʼọhịa.
14 They were piled into countless heaps, and there was a terrible stench in the land.
E kpokọtara ozu awọ ndị a niile nʼebe dị iche iche. Isi ọjọọ ha wetara nʼala ahụ dị egwu.
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.
Ma mgbe Fero hụrụ na awọ ndị a anwụchaala, o mechiri obi ya jụ ige Mosis na Erọn ntị, dịka Onyenwe anyị kwuru na ọ ga-eme.
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.’”
Ya mere, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis sị ya, “Gwa Erọn, setịpụ mkpanaka gị, tie nʼaja nke ala nʼala Ijipt niile, aja ya ga-aghọ anwụ nta nke na-ata ata.”
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.
Mosis na Erọn mere nke a. Mgbe Erọn setịpụrụ aka tie mkpanaka ya nʼelu ala, anwụ nta jupụtara nʼala Ijipt niile, nʼahụ ndị mmadụ, na nʼahụ anụmanụ ha. Ndanda ndị a jupụtakwara nʼuzuzu niile dị nʼala ahụ.
18 The magicians tried to produce gnats using their magic arts, but they could not. And the gnats remained on man and beast.
Ndị Ijipt na-eme majiki gbalịrị iji ihe nzuzo ha mee otu ihe ahụ Erọn mere, ma ha enweghị ike ime ka anwụ nta ọbụla pụta. Ebe ọ bụ na anwụ nta ndị a jupụtara nʼahụ mmadụ na nʼahụ anụmanụ niile.
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.
Naanị ihe ndị na-eme majiki gwara Fero bụ, “Nke a bụ akaọrụ Chineke.” Ma Fero mere ka obi ya sie ike. Ọ chọghị ige, ọ bụladị ndị majiki ya ntị, dịka Onyenwe anyị kwuru na ọ ga-eme.
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.
Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis sị ya, “Bilie nʼisi ụtụtụ echi jekwuru Fero. Mgbe ọ ga-aga nʼosimiri, gwa ya okwu sị, ‘Nke a bụ ihe Onyenwe anyị kwuru, Hapụ ndị m ka ha gaa fee m ofufe.
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.
Ọ bụrụ na ị chọghị ime otu a, aga m eme ka igwe ijiji jupụta nʼala Ijipt niile. Ha ga-ejupụta gị nʼahụ na nʼahụ ndị na-ejere gị ozi, na nʼahụ ndị gị niile, na nʼime ụlọ unu niile.
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.
“‘Nʼụbọchị ahụ, igwe ijiji ndị a agaghị emetụ ndị nọ na Goshen ebe ndị m bi. Mgbe ahụ ka ị ga-amata na mụ bụ Onyenwe anyị bịara ije nʼala a.
23 I will make a distinction between My people and your people. This sign will take place tomorrow.’”
Aga m emekwa ka ọ pụta ìhè na o nwere ihe dị iche nʼetiti ndị m na ndị gị. Ihe ịrịbama a ga-emezukwa echi.’”
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.
Nʼechi ya, Onyenwe anyị mere dịka o kwuru. Igwe ijiji dị egwu nʼọnụọgụgụ bịara nʼala Ijipt, jupụta nʼụlọ Fero, na nʼụlọ ndị niile na-ejere ya ozi, na nʼala Ijipt niile. E mere ka ala Ijipt bụrụ ihe e ji ijiji mebie.
25 Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “Go, sacrifice to your God within this land.”
Mgbe ihe ndị a na-eme, Fero kpọrọ Mosis na Erọn gwa ha okwu sị, “Gaanụ chụọrọ Chineke unu aja, ma ka ọ bụrụ nʼala Ijipt.”
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?
Mosis zaghachiri Fero sị, “Nke ahụ abụghị ihe ziri ezi, nʼihi na aja anyị na-aga ịchụrụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị bụ ihe rụrụ arụ nʼanya ndị Ijipt. Ọ bụrụ na anyị achụọ aja a nʼihu ha, ha ga-eji nkume tugbuo anyị.
27 We must make a three-day journey into the wilderness and sacrifice to the LORD our God as He commands us.”
Anyị ga-aga njem ụbọchị atọ nʼime ọzara gaa chụọrọ Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị aja, dịka o nyere anyị iwu ka anyị mee.”
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.”
Fero zaghachiri ha sị, “Aga m ekwenye ka unu ga chụọrọ Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu aja nʼọzara, ma unu agaghị aga ebe dị anya. Ugbu a, kperenụ m ekpere.”
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.”
Mosis zara Fero sị ya, “Ngwangwa m si nʼihu gị pụọ, aga m arịọ Onyenwe anyị arịrịọ. Echi, a ga-esite nʼụlọ Fero, na nʼụlọ ndị na-ejere ya ozi, na nʼụlọ ndị Ijipt niile wezuga ijiji ndị a. Ọ ga-adị mkpa na Fero ga-elezi anya hapụ ịghọ aghụghọ ọzọ site ịjụ ka ụmụ Izrel gaa chụọrọ Onyenwe anyị aja.”
30 Then Moses left Pharaoh and prayed to the LORD,
Mgbe ahụ, Mosis sitere nʼihu Fero pụọ rịọọ Onyenwe anyị ka o mee ka ijiji ndị a gabiga.
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.
Onyenwe anyị mere dịka Mosis rịọrọ. Ijiji ndị a sitere nʼụlọ Fero na ụlọ ndị na-ejere ya ozi na ụlọ ndị Ijipt niile pụọ. O nwekwaghị ijiji ọ bụla fọdụrụ nʼala ahụ.
32 But Pharaoh hardened his heart this time as well, and he would not let the people go.
Ma nʼoge a, Fero gara nʼihu ime ka obi ya sie ike. O kweghị ka ụmụ Izrel laa.
