< 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.
Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe; “Faraʼoon bira dhaqii akkana jedhiin; ‘Waaqayyo akkana jedha: Akka sabni koo na tajaajiluuf gad dhiisi.
2 But if you refuse to let them go, I will plague your whole country with frogs.
Yoo ati gad isa dhiisuu didde immoo kunoo ani biyya kee guutuutti dhaʼicha fattee nan erga.
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.
Lagni Abbayyaa fatteedhaan guutuma; isaanis ol baʼanii mana keetti, dinqa keetti, siree keetti, mana hojjettoota keetiitti, saba keetti, iddoo ibiddaa keetti, qodaa bukoo keetiittis namʼu.
4 The frogs will come up on you and your people and all your officials.’”
Fatteewwan kunneen siʼii fi saba kee, qondaaltota kee hundas ni yaabbatu.’”
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.’”
Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe; “Arooniin akkana jedhi; ‘Ulee kee qabadhuutii harka kee burqaawwan irratti, lageenii fi kuusaa bishaanii irratti ol kaafadhuutii akka fatteewwan biyya Gibxitti dhufan godhi.’”
6 So Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt, and the frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt.
Aroon harka isaa bishaanota Gibxitti ol kaafate; fatteewwanis ol baʼanii biyya sana guutan.
7 But the magicians did the same thing by their magic arts, and they also brought frogs up onto the land of Egypt.
Tolfattoonnis falfala isaaniitiin akkasuma godhan; biyya Gibxittis fatteewwan fidan.
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.”
Faraʼoonis Musee fi Aroonin ofitti waamee, “Akka inni anaa fi saba koo irraa fatteewwan fageessuuf Waaqayyo kadhadhaa; anis akka sabni keessan dhaqee Waaqayyoof aarsaa dhiʼeessuuf gadin dhiisa” jedhe.
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?”
Museenis Faraʼooniin, “Akka fatteewwan siʼii fi manneen kee irraa badanii laga Abbayyaa qofa keessatti hafaniif yeroo ani itti siif, qondaaltota keetii fi saba keetiif illee Waaqa kadhadhu ati na beeksisi” jedhe.
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.
Faraʼoon immoo, “Bor” jedheen. Museenis akkana jedhee deebise; “Waaqayyo Waaqa keenyaa fakkaatu kan tokko iyyuu akka hin jirre akka beektuuf akkuma ati jettu taʼa.
11 The frogs will depart from you and your houses and your officials and your people; they will remain only in the Nile.”
Fatteewwan sun siʼii fi manneen kee irraa, qondaaltota keetii fi saba kee irraa ni badu; laga Abbayyaa qofa keessattis ni hafu.”
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.
Musee fi Aroon erga Faraʼoon biraa gad baʼanii booddee Museen waaʼee fatteewwan Waaqni Faraʼoonitti erge sanaa Waaqayyotti iyye.
13 And the LORD did as Moses requested, and the frogs in the houses, the courtyards, and the fields died.
Waaqayyos akkuma Museen kadhate godhe. Fatteewwan sunis mana keessatti, oobdii irratti, dirree irrattis dhuman.
14 They were piled into countless heaps, and there was a terrible stench in the land.
Fatteewwan sunis walitti qabamanii tuulaman; biyyattiinis ni ajoofte.
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.
Faraʼoon garuu yommuu akka dhaʼichi sun qabbanaaʼe argetti akkuma Waaqayyo dubbatee ture sana mata jabeessa taʼee Musee fi Aroonin dhagaʼuu dide.
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.’”
Ergasiis Waaqayyo Museedhaan, “Arooniin, ‘Ulee kee ol kaasiitii awwaara lafaa dhaʼi’ jedhi; awwaarri sunis biyya Gibxi guutuu keessatti injiraan taʼa” jedhe.
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.
Isaanis akkasuma godhan. Yommuu Aroon harka isaa isa ulee qabate ol kaafatee awwaara lafaa dhaʼetti injiraan namaa fi horiitti duudde. Awwaarri guutuu biyya Gibxi keessa jiru hundi injiraan taʼe.
18 The magicians tried to produce gnats using their magic arts, but they could not. And the gnats remained on man and beast.
Tolfattoonni garuu falfala isaaniitiin injiraan gad yaasuu yaalanii dadhaban. Injiraanis namaa fi horii irra ture.
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.
Tolfattoonnis Faraʼooniin, “Kun quba Waaqaa ti” jedhan. Faraʼoon garuu akkuma Waaqayyo dubbate sana mata jabeessa taʼee dhagaʼuu dide.
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.
Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe; “Ganama barii kaʼiitii fuula Faraʼoon duratti dhiʼaadhu; kunoo inni gara bishaanitti gad baʼa; akkanas jedhiin; ‘Waaqayyo akkana jedha: Akka inni na tajaajiluuf saba koo gad dhiisi.
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.
Yoo ati saba koo gad dhiisuu didde immoo kunoo, ani tuuta tisiisaa sitti, qondaaltota keetti, saba keetti, manneen keetti nan erga. Manneen warra Gibxi, lafti isaan jiraatanis tisiisaan guutamu.
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.
“‘Ani garuu guyyaa sana iddoo sabni koo jiraatu Gooshenin haala addaatiin nan ilaala; akka ati akka ani Waaqayyo biyya kana keessa jiru beektuuf tisiisni tokko iyyuu achi hin jiraatu.
23 I will make a distinction between My people and your people. This sign will take place tomorrow.’”
Ani saba kootii fi saba kee gidduutti garaa garummaa nan uuma. Mallattoon kunis bori taʼa.’”
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.
Waaqayyos akkasuma godhe. Tisiisni baayʼeen mana Faraʼoonii fi manneen qondaaltota isaatti duude; biyyi Gibxi guutuunis tisiisaan balleeffame.
25 Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “Go, sacrifice to your God within this land.”
Faraʼoonis Musee fi Aroonin ofitti waamee, “Dhaqaatii biyyuma kana keessatti Waaqa keessaniif aarsaa dhiʼeessaa” jedheen.
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?
Museen immoo deebisee akkana jedhe; “Akkas gochuun qajeelaa hin taʼu; aarsaan nu Waaqayyo Waaqa keenyaaf dhiʼeessinu warra Gibxi biratti jibbamaa dha. Kunoo, yoo nu aarsaa fuula isaanii duratti jibbamu dhiʼeessine isaan dhagaadhaan nu hin tumanii ree?
27 We must make a three-day journey into the wilderness and sacrifice to the LORD our God as He commands us.”
Akkuma inni nu ajajetti nu Waaqayyo Waaqa keenyaaf aarsaa dhiʼeessuuf gara gammoojjii karaa guyyaa sadii deemuu qabna.”
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.”
Faraʼoonis, “Ani akka isin gammoojjii keessatti Waaqayyo Waaqa keessaniif aarsaa dhiʼeessitaniif gadin isin dhiisa; garuu baayʼee fagaattani hin deeminaa. Isinis Waaqa naa kadhadhaa” jedhe.
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.”
Museenis akkana jedhee deebise; “Kunoo, ani akkuman si biraa deemeen akka bor tisiisni Faraʼoon irraa, qondaaltota isaatii fi saba isaa irraa kaʼu Waaqayyo nan kadhadha. Yaa Faraʼoon ati garuu, akka sabni kun Waaqayyoof aarsaa dhiʼeessuuf gad dhiisuu diddee ammas nu hin gowwoomsin.”
30 Then Moses left Pharaoh and prayed to the LORD,
Museenis ergasii Faraʼoon biraa baʼee Waaqayyo kadhate;
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.
Waaqayyos akkuma Museen isa kadhate sana godhe; tisiisni sunis Faraʼoonin, qondaaltota isaatii fi saba isaa gad dhiisee deeme; tisiisni tokko iyyuu hin hafne.
32 But Pharaoh hardened his heart this time as well, and he would not let the people go.
Faraʼoon garuu ammas mata jabeessa taʼe; saba sanas gad dhiisuu dide.
