Exodus 8
1 And the Lord said to Moses, Go in to Pharao, and thou shalt say to him, These things says the Lord: send forth my people, that they may serve me.
Kisha Yahweh akazungumza na Musa, “Nenda kwa Farao na umwambie, 'Yahweh anasema hivi: Acha watu wangu waende hili wakaniabudu.
2 And if thou wilt not send them forth, behold, I afflict all thy borders with frogs:
Ukikataa kuwaruhusu waende, nitaidhuru nchi yako yote kwa vyura.
3 and the river shall teem with frogs, and they shall go up and enter into thy houses, and into thy bed-chambers, and upon thy beds, and upon the houses of thy servants, and of thy people and on thy dough, and on thine ovens.
Mito itajawa na vyura. Watatoka na kuingia nyumbani kwako, chumbani kwako, na kitandani kwako. Wataenda nyumbani mwa watumishi wako. Wataenda kwa watu wako, kwenye majiko yako, na vyombo vya kukandia mkate.
4 And upon thee, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people, shall the frogs come up.
Vyura watakushambulia wewe, watu wako, na watumishi wako wote."”'
5 And the Lord said to Moses, Say to Aaron thy brother, Stretch forth with the hand thy rod over the rivers, and over the canals, and over the pools, and bring up the frogs.
Yahweh akamwambia Musa, “Mwambie Aruni, 'Nyoosha mkono wako na gongo lako kwenye mito, mifereji, na kwenye mabwawa, na uwatoe vyura juu ya nchi ya Misri.”'
6 And Aaron stretched forth his hand over the waters of Egypt, and brought up the frogs: and the frog was brought up, and covered the land of Egypt.
Aruni akanyoosha mkono juu ya maji ya Misri, na vyura wakatoka na kujaza nchi ya Misri.
7 And the charmers of the Egyptians also did likewise with their sorceries, and brought up the frogs on the land of Egypt.
Lakini wachawi walifanya vivyo hivyo na uchawi wao: waliwatoa vyura juu ya nchi ya Misri.
8 And Pharao called Moses and Aaron, and said, Pray for me to the Lord, and let him take away the frogs from me and from my people; and I will send them away, and they shall sacrifice to the Lord.
Kisha Farao akawaita Musa na Aruni na kuwaambia, “Muombeni Yahweh iliawaondoe vyura kwangu na kwa watu wangu. Kisha nitawaacha watu waende, iliwamtolee dhabihu.”
9 And Moses said to Pharao, Appoint me [a time] when I shall pray for thee, and for thy servants, and for thy people, to cause the frogs to disappear from thee, and from thy people, and from your houses, only in the river shall they be left behind.
Musa akamwambia Farao, “Unaweza chukuwa fursa ya kuniambia lini nikuombee wewe, watumishi wako, na watu wako, ili vyura waondolewe kwako na nyumbani kwako na wabaki tu kwenye mito.”
10 And he said, On the morrow: he said therefore, As thou has said; that thou mayest know, that there is no other [God] but the Lord.
Farao akasema, “Kesho.” Musa akasema, “Acha iwe kama ulivyo sema, ili kwamba ujue hakuna Mungu mwengine kama Yahweh, Mungu wetu.
11 And the frogs shall be removed away from thee, and from your houses and from the villages, and from thy servants, and from thy people, only in the river they shall be left.
Vyura wataondoka kutoka kwako, nyumbani mwako, kwa watumishi wako, na kwa watu wako. Watabaki tu kwenye mito.”
12 And Moses and Aaron went forth from Pharao, and Moses cried to the Lord concerning the restriction of the frogs, as Pharao appointed him.
Musa na Aruni wakaondoka kwa Farao. Kisha Musa akamlilia Yahweh kuhusu hao vyura alio waleta kwa Farao.
13 And the Lord did as Moses said, and the frogs died out of the houses, and out of the villages, and out of the fields.
Yahweh akafanya kama Musa alivyo omba: Vyura wakafa kwenye nyumba, nyuani, na mashambani.
14 And they gathered them together in heaps, and the land stank.
Watu wakawakusanya kwa mafungu, na nchi ikanuka.
15 And when Pharao saw that there was relief, his heart was hardened, and he did not hearken to them, as the Lord spoke.
Lakini Farao alipoona kuna afadhali, aliufanya moyo wake kuwa mgumu na hakumsikiliza Musa na Aruni, kama Yahweh alivyo sema.
16 And the Lord said to Moses, Say to Aaron, Stretch forth thy rod with thy hand and smite the dust of the earth; and there shall be lice both upon man, and upon quadrupeds, and in all the land of Egypt.
Yahweh akamwambia Musa, “Mwambie Aruni, 'Nyoosha gongo lako na upige udongo chini, iliuwe chawa kati nchi yote ya Misri.”'
17 So Aaron stretched out his rod with his hand, and smote the dust of the earth; and the lice were on men and on quadrupeds, and in all the dust of the earth there were lice.
Wakanya hivyo: Aruni akanyoosha mkono wake na gongo lake. Akaupiga udongo wa ardhi. Chawa wakaja juu ya watu na wanyama. Udongo wote kwenye ardhi ukawa chawa katika nchi ya Misri.
18 And the charmers also did so with their sorceries, to bring forth the louse, and they could not. And the lice were both on the men and on the quadrupeds.
Wachawi walijaribu kufanya chawa kwa uganga wao lakini hawakuweza. Palikuwa na chawa kwa watu na kwa wanyama.
19 So the charmers said to Pharao, This is the finger of God. But the heart of Pharao was hardened, and he hearkened not to them, as the Lord said.
Kisha wachawi wakamwambia Farao, “Hichi ni kidole cha Mungu.” Lakini moyo wa Farao ulikuwa Mgumu, hivyo akakataa kuwasikiliza. Ilikuwa kama Yahweh alivyo sema Farao atafanya.
20 And the Lord said to Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharao: and behold, he will go forth to the water, and thou shalt say to him, These things says the Lord: Send away my people, that they may serve me in the wilderness.
Yahweh akamwambia Musa, “Inuka asubui mapema na usimame mbele ya Farao anapoenda mtoni. Umwambie, 'Yahweh anasema hivi: “Acha watu wangu waende wakaniabudu mimi.
21 And if thou wilt not let my people go, behold, I send upon thee, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people, and upon your houses, the dog-fly; and the houses of the Egyptians shall be filled with the dog-fly, even throughout the land upon which they are.
Lakini usipo acha watu wangu waende nitatuma kundi la nzi kwako, watumishi wako, na watu wako, na kwenye nyumba zenu. Nyumba za wa Misri zitajawa na makundi ya nzi, na ata ardhi wanayo simama itajawa na nzi.
22 and I will distinguish marvellously in that day the land of Gesem, on which my people dwell, in which the dog-fly shall not be: that thou mayest know that I am the Lord the God of all the earth.
Lakini katika siku hiyo nitaitendea nchi ya Gosheni tofauti, nchi ambayo watu wangu wanaishi, ilikwamba kusiwe na makundi ya nzi huko. Hili litatokea ili kwamba mjue mimi ni Yahweh katika hii nchi.
23 And I will put a difference between my people and thy people, and on the morrow shall this be on the land. And the Lord did thus.
Nitaweka utofauti kati ya watu wangu na watu wako. Hii ishara ya nguvu zangu itatokea kesho"”'
24 And the dog-fly came in abundance into the houses of Pharao, and into the houses of his servants, and into all the land of Egypt; and the land was destroyed by the dog-fly.
Yahweh akafanya hivyo, na kundi kubwa la nzi likaja nyumbani mwa Farao na nyumbani mwa watumishi wake. Katika nchi yote ya Misri, nchi iliharibiwa na makundi ya nzi.
25 And Pharao called Moses and Aaron, saying, Go and sacrifice to the Lord your God in the land.
Farao akawaita Musa na Aruni na kuwaambia, “Nendeni, mtolee Mungu wenu dhabihu kwenye nchi yetu.”
26 And Moses said, It cannot be so, for we shall sacrifice to the Lord our God the abominations of the Egyptians; for if we sacrifice the abominations of the Egyptians before them, we shall be stoned.
Musa akasema, “Sio vyema sisi kufanya hivyo, kwa kuwa dhabihu tunazo mtolea Yahweh Mungu wetu zinachukiza kwa Wamisri. Kama tutatoa dhabihu mbele ya macho yao zilizo chukizo kwa Wamisri, hawata tupiga mawe?
27 We will go a journey of three days into the wilderness, and we will sacrifice to the Lord our God, as the Lord said to us.
Hapana, ni safari ya siku tatu kwenda nyikani ambayo lazima tuende, ili kiutoa dhabihu kwa Yahweh Mungu wetu, kama anavyo tuamuru.”
28 And Pharao said, I [will] let you go, and do ye sacrifice to your God in the wilderness, but do not go very far away: pray then for me to the Lord.
Farao akasema, “Nitakuruhusu kwenda kumtolea dhabihu Yahweh Mungu wenu nyikani. Ila usiende mbali sana. Niombee.”
29 And Moses said, I then will go forth from thee and pray to God, and the dog-fly shall depart both from thy servants, and from thy people to-morrow. Do not thou, Pharao, deceive again, so as not to send the people away to do sacrifice to the Lord.
Musa akasema, “Wakati tu nitakapoenda kutoka kwako, nitamuomba Yahweh ili makundi ya nzi yatoke kwako, wewe Farao, na watumishi wako na watu kesho. Lakini usifanye udhalimu tena kwa kutowaacha watu wetu waende kumtolea dhabihu Yahweh.”
30 And Moses went out from Pharao, and prayed to God.
Musa akaenda nje kutoka kwa Farao na kumuomba Yahweh.
31 And the Lord did as Moses said, and removed the dog-fly from Pharao, and from his servants, and from his people, and there was not one left.
Yahweh akafanya kama Musa alivyo muomba: alitoa makundi ya nzi kutoka kwa Farao, watumishi wake, na watu wake. Hakuna ata mmoja aliye baki.
32 And Pharao hardened his heart, even on this occasion, and he would not send the people away.
Lakini Farao aliufanya moyo wake mgumu tena, na hakuwaacha watu waende.
