< Exodus 10 >
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Go in to Pharao: for I have hardened his heart and the heart of his servants, that these signs may come upon them; in order
Kenaka Yehova anati kwa Mose, “Pita kwa Farao, pakuti Ine ndawumitsa mtima wake ndi mitima ya nduna zake kuti ndichite zizindikiro zozizwitsa pakati pawo
2 that you may relate in the ears of your children, and to your children's children, in how many things I have mocked the Egyptians, and my wonders which I wrought amongst them; and you shall know that I [am] the Lord.
kuti inu mudzawuze ana ndi zidzukulu zanu za mmene ndinawakhawulitsira Aigupto ndi zizindikiro zozizwitsa zimene ndinachita pakati pawo ndiponso kuti inu mudziwe kuti ine ndine Yehova.”
3 And Moses and Aaron went in before Pharao, and they said to him, These things says the Lord God of the Hebrews, How long do you refuse to reverence me? Send my people away, that they may serve me.
Ndipo Mose ndi Aaroni anapita kwa Farao ndi kukanena kuti, “Yehova Mulungu wa Ahebri, akuti: ‘Kodi udzakanabe kudzichepetsa pamaso panga mpaka liti? Alole anthu anga apite kuti akandipembedze.
4 But if you will not send my people away, behold, at this hour to-morrow I will bring an abundance of locusts upon all your coasts.
Ngati ukana kuwalola, ndigwetsa dzombe mʼdziko lako lino mawa.
5 And they shall cover the face of the earth, and you shall not be able to see the earth; and they shall devour all that is left of the abundance of the earth, which the hail has left you, and shall devour every tree that grows for you on the land.
Dzombeli lidzakuta nthaka yonse moti sidzaoneka konse. Lidzadya kalikonse kakangʼono kamene sikanawonongedwe ndi matalala aja, kuphatikizapo mitengo yonse imene ikumera mʼminda yanu.
6 And your houses shall be filled, and the houses of your servants, and all the houses in all the land of the Egyptians; things which your fathers have never seen, nor their forefathers, from the day that they were upon the earth until this day. And Moses turned away and departed from Pharao.
Dzombeli lidzadzaza nyumba zako ndi za nduna zako ndiponso za Aigupto onse, chinthu chimene ngakhale makolo anu kapena makolo awo sanachionepo kuyambira tsiku limene anakhala mʼdzikoli mpaka lero.’” Ndipo Mose ndi Aaroni anatembenuka ndi kumusiya Farao.
7 And the servants of Pharao say to him, How long shall this be a snare to us? send away the men, that they may serve their God; will you know that Egypt is destroyed?
Nduna za Farao zinamufunsa kuti, “Kodi munthu uyu adzativutitsa mpaka liti? Aloleni anthuwa apite, kuti akapembedze Yehova Mulungu wawo. Kodi simukuona kuti dziko la Igupto lawonongeka?”
8 And they brought back both Moses and Aaron to Pharao; and he said to them, Go and serve the Lord your God; but who are they that are going with you?
Choncho Mose ndi Aaroni anayitanidwanso kwa Farao ndipo anati, “Pitani kapembedzeni Yehova Mulungu wanu. Koma ndani amene adzapite?”
9 And Moses said, We will go with the young and the old, with our sons, and daughters, and sheep, and oxen, for it is a feast of the Lord.
Mose anayankha kuti, “Ife tidzapita tonse pamodzi; angʼonoangʼono ndi akuluakulu, ana athu aamuna ndi aakazi, ndiponso ziweto zathu ndi ngʼombe chifukwa tikakhala ndi chikondwerero cha kwa Yehova.”
10 And he said to them, So let the Lord be with you: as I [will] send you away, [must I send away] you store also? see that evil is attached to you.
Farao anati, “Yehova akhale ndi inu ngati ndingakuloleni kupita pamodzi ndi akazi ndi ana anu! Zikuoneka kuti mwakonzeka kuchita choyipa.
11 Not so, but let the men go and serve God, for this you yourselves seek; and they cast them out from the presence of Pharao.
Ndakana! Amuna okha ndiwo apite ndi kukapembedza Yehova pakuti izi ndi zimene mwakhala mukupempha.” Kenaka Mose ndi Aaroni anathamangitsidwa pamaso pa Farao.
12 And the Lord said to Moses, Stretch out your hand over the land of Egypt, and let the locust come up on the land, and it shall devour every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees, which the hail left.
Ndipo Yehova anati kwa Mose, “Tambalitsa dzanja lako pa dziko la Igupto kuti dzombe lidze pa dziko la Igupto ndi kuwononga chilichonse chimene chikumera mʼminda ndi chilichonse chimene chinatsala pa nthawi ya matalala.”
13 And Moses lifted up his rod towards heaven, and the Lord brought a south wind upon the earth, all that day and all that night: the morning dawned, and the south wind brought up the locusts,
Kotero Mose anakweza ndodo yake pa dziko la Igupto, ndipo Yehova anawutsa mphepo ya kummawa imene inawomba pa dziko usana ndi usiku wonse. Mmene kumacha nʼkuti mphepoyo itabweretsa dzombe.
14 and brought them up over all the land of Egypt. And they rested in very great abundance over all the borders of Egypt. Before them there were not such locusts, neither after them shall there be.
Dzombelo linafika pa dziko lonse la Igupto ndi kukhala dera lililonse la dzikolo. Dzombe lambiri ngati limenelo silinakhaleponso nʼkale lonse ndipo silidzakhalapo ngakhale mʼtsogolo.
15 And they covered the face of the earth, and the land was wasted, and they devoured all the herbage of the land, and all the fruit of the trees, which was left by the hail: there was no green thing left on the trees, nor on all the herbage of the field, in all the land of Egypt.
Dzombelo linaphimba nthaka yonse mpaka kuoneka kuti bii. Linadya zonse zimene zinatsala nthawi ya matalala, zomera za mʼmunda ndi zipatso. Panalibe chobiriwira chilichonse chimene chinatsala pa mtengo kapena pa chomera chilichonse mʼdziko lonse la Igupto.
16 And Pharao hasted to call Moses and Aaron, saying, I have sinned before the Lord your God, and against you;
Mwamsangamsanga, Farao anayitanitsa Mose ndi Aaroni ndipo anati, “Ine ndachimwira Yehova Mulungu wanu ndiponso inu.
17 pardon therefore my sin yet this time, and pray to the Lord your God, and let him take away from me this death.
Tsopano ndikhululukirenso tchimo langa kano konkha ndipo pempherani kwa Yehova Mulungu wanu kuti andichotsere mliri wosakazawu.”
18 And Moses went forth from Pharao, and prayed to God.
Mose anachoka kwa Farao nakapemphera kwa Yehova.
19 And the Lord brought in the opposite direction a strong wind from the sea, and took up the locusts and cast them into the Red Sea, and there was not one locust left in all the land of Egypt.
Ndipo Yehova anasintha mphepo ija kuti ikhale ya mphamvu yochokera ku madzulo, ndipo inanyamula dzombe lija nʼkulikankhira mʼNyanja Yofiira. Panalibe dzombe ndi limodzi lomwe limene linatsala mu Igupto.
20 And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharao, and he did not send away the children of Israel.
Koma Yehova anawumitsa mtima wa Farao, ndipo sanalole kuti Aisraeli apite.
21 And the Lord said to Moses, Stretch out your hand to heaven, and let there be darkness over the land of Egypt—darkness that may be felt.
Kenaka Yehova anati kwa Mose, “Tambasulira dzanja lako kumwamba kuti kukhale mdima umene udzaphimba dziko lonse la Igupto, mdima wandiweyani.”
22 And Moses stretched out his hand to heaven, and there was darkness very black, even a storm over all the land of Egypt three days.
Choncho Mose anakweza dzanja lake kumwamba ndipo mdima wandiweyani unaphimba dziko lonse la Igupto kwa masiku atatu.
23 And for three days no man saw his brother, and no man rose up from his bed for three days: but all the children of Israel had light in all the places where they were.
Palibe amene anatha kuona mnzake kapena kuchoka pa khomo pake kwa masiku atatu. Koma kumalo kumene kumakhala Aisraeli kunali kowala.
24 And Pharao called Moses and Aaron, saying, Go, serve the Lord your God, only leave your sheep and your oxen, and let your store depart with you.
Kenaka Farao anayitanitsa Mose ndi Aaroni nati, “Pitani kapembedzeni Yehova. Ngakhale akazi ndi ana anu apite pamodzi ndi inu. Koma musatenge ziweto zanu ndi ngʼombe zanu.”
25 And Moses said, Nay, but you shall give to us whole burnt offerings and sacrifices, which we will sacrifice to the Lord our God.
Koma Mose anati, “Ndiye inu mutipatse nsembe zopsereza zoti tikapereke kwa Yehova Mulungu wathu.
26 And our cattle shall go with us, and we will not leave a hoof behind, for of them we will take to serve the Lord our God: but we know not in what manner we shall serve the Lord our God, until we arrive there.
Koma ayi, ife tipita ndi ziweto zathu. Palibe chiweto chilichonse chimene chitatsale kuno, popeza tikasankha komweko ziweto zokapembedzera Yehova. Sitingadziwe zimene tikagwiritse ntchito popembedza Yehova mpaka titakafika kumeneko.”
27 But the Lord hardened the heart of Pharao, and he would not let them go.
Koma Yehova anawumitsa mtima wa Farao ndipo sanafune kuwalola kuti apite.
28 And Pharao says, Depart from me, beware of seeing my face again, for in what day you shall appear before me, you shall die.
Farao anati kwa Mose, “Choka pamaso panga! Uwonetsetse kuti usadzaonekerenso pamaso panga! Tsiku limene ndidzakuonenso udzafa.”
29 And Moses says, You have said, I will not appear in your presence again.
Mose anayankha kuti, “Monga momwe mwaneneramu, Ine sindidzaonekeranso pamaso panu.”
