Exodus 10
1 And the Lord said to Moses: “Enter to Pharaoh. For I have hardened his heart, and that of his servants, so that I may accomplish these, my signs, in him,
Le esia megbe la, Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be, “Gayi Farao gbɔ, eye nàgatsɔ wò biabia la ɖo eŋkume. Ke mana eya kple eƒe aɖaŋudelawo ƒe dzi me nagasẽ kokoko ale be mate ŋu awɔ nukunu bubuwo, eye maɖe nye ŋusẽ afia.
2 and so that you may describe to the ears of your sons and your grandsons how often I opposed the Egyptians and wrought my signs among them, and so that you may know that I am the Lord.”
Esiawo anye ŋutinya siwo nàgblɔ na viwòwo kple wò tɔgbuiyɔviwo tso nukunu siwo mele wɔwɔm le Egipte la ŋu! Miƒo nu na wo tso ale si mewɔ Egiptetɔwo wozu abunɛtɔwo kple ale si meɖee fia mi bena nyee nye Yehowa la ŋuti.”
3 Therefore, Moses and Aaron entered to Pharaoh, and they said to him: “Thus says the Lord God of the Hebrews: How long will you be unwilling to be subject to me? Release my people to sacrifice to me.
Ale Mose kple Aron wogayi Farao gbɔ, eye wogblɔ nɛ be, “Yehowa, Hebritɔwo ƒe Mawu la le biabiam be, ‘Zi neni nàgbe toɖoɖom? Ɖe asi le nye amewo ŋu ale be woate ŋu ayi aɖasubɔm.
4 But if you resist, and you are unwilling to release them, behold, tomorrow I will bring locusts into your borders.
Ne ègbe asiɖeɖe le ameawo ŋu la, mahe ʋetsuviwo va wò anyigba la dzi etsɔ.
5 And they shall cover the face of the earth, lest any part of it be seen. Yes, and what remains from the hail shall be eaten. For they will gnaw away all the trees that spring up in the fields.
Woatsyɔ anyigba la dzi ale gbegbe be anyigba la magadze o. Woaɖu numiemie sue siwo susɔ le kpetsi la megbe kple ati ɖe sia ɖe si le tsitsim le agble dzi.
6 And they will fill your houses, and those of your servants and of all the Egyptians: so many as your fathers and ancestors have not seen, from the time that they rose up over the earth, even until this present day.” And he turned himself away, and he departed from Pharaoh.
Woayɔ wò aƒewo me, wò dumegãwo ƒe aƒewo me kple Egiptetɔwo katã ƒe aƒewo me, nu si mia fofowo loo alo mia tɔgbuiwo mekpɔ kpɔ, tso gbe si gbe wova anyigba sia dzi va se ɖe fifia o.’” Ale Mose trɔ dzo le Farao ŋkume.
7 Then the servants of Pharaoh said to him: “How long must we endure this scandal? Release the men, in order to sacrifice to the Lord their God. Do you not see that Egypt is perishing?”
Farao ƒe aɖaŋudelawo va Farao gbɔ azɔ, eye wobiae be, “Ɖe nèdi be yeatsrɔ̃ mí gbidigbidia? Ɖe mènya be fifia gɔ̃ hã la, nu sia nu gblẽ le Egipte oa? Ɖe asi le ameawo ŋu woayi aɖasubɔ Yehowa, woƒe Mawu la.”
8 And they called back Moses and Aaron to Pharaoh, who said to them: “Go, sacrifice to the Lord your God. Who are they who would go?”
Wokplɔ Mose kple Aron va Fia Farao gbɔ. Farao gblɔ na wo azɔ be, “Enyo, miyi miasubɔ Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la. Ke ame kawoe miedi be woayi kpli mi?”
9 Moses said: “We will travel with our little ones and our elderly, with our sons and daughters, with our sheep and herds. For it is a solemnity of the Lord our God.”
Mose ɖo eŋu be, “Míayi kple mía viŋutsuwo, mía vinyɔnuwo kple míaƒe lãwo, elabena ŋkekenyui ɖu ge míeyina na Yehowa.”
10 And Pharaoh responded: “So let the Lord be with you. But if I were to release you and your little ones, who would doubt that you intend some great wickedness?
Farao yi edzi be, “Yehowa naɖi na mi, nyemaɖe asi le mia kple mia viwo ŋu miayi o. Eme kɔ ƒãa be nu gbegblẽ aɖee mieɖo ɖe ta me.
11 It will not be so. However, go only with the men, and sacrifice to the Lord. For this, too, is what you yourselves requested.” And immediately they were cast out from the sight of Pharaoh.
Mi ŋutsuwo ɖeɖe ko, miyi miasubɔ Yehowa, elabena eyae nye nu si miebia.” Ale wonya wo ɖa le Farao ŋkume.
12 Then the Lord said to Moses: “Extend your hand over the land of Egypt, toward the locusts, so that they may rise up over it, and devour every plant which remains from the hail.”
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be, “Keke wò asiwo ɖe Egiptenyigba la dzi, ne ʋetsuviwo nado, woaxɔ anyigba blibo la dzi, eye woaɖu nu sia nu si kpetsi la gblẽ ɖi.”
13 And Moses extended his staff over the land of Egypt. And the Lord brought a burning wind all that day and night. And when morning came, the burning wind lifted up the locusts.
Mose do eƒe atikplɔ ɖe dzi, eye Yehowa na ɣedzeƒeya aɖe ƒo le ŋkeke kple zã blibo la me. Esi ŋu ke la, ɣedzeƒeya la he ʋetsuviwo vɛ.
14 And they ascended over the entire land of Egypt. And they settled into all the parts of the Egyptians: innumerable, such as had not been before that time, nor ever would be thereafter.
Ʋetsuviawo xɔ anyigba la dzi tso liƒo dzi yi liƒo dzi. Esiae nye ʋetsuviwo ƒe vava vɔ̃ɖitɔ le Egipte ƒe ŋutinya blibo la me, eye etɔgbi magava akpɔ o,
15 And they covered the entire face of the land, laying waste to all things. And the plants of the land were devoured, along with whatever fruits were on the trees, which the hail had left behind. And nothing at all of the greenery remained on the trees or on the plants of the earth in all of Egypt.
elabena ʋetsuviawo xe anyigba la ƒe ŋkume, eye woxe ɣe hã ƒe ŋkume; ale viviti do ɖe anyigba la dzi. Gawu la, woɖu ati kple gbe ɖe sia ɖe si kpetsi la gblẽ ɖi, ale be nu mumu si nye ati alo gbe la ƒe ɖeke kura meganɔ Egiptenyigba blibo la dzi o.
16 For this reason, Pharaoh hurriedly called Moses and Aaron, and he said to them: “I have sinned against the Lord your God, and against you.
Farao ɖo du sesẽ aɖe ɖe Mose kple Aron enumake, eye wògblɔ na wo be, “Mewɔ nu vɔ̃ ɖe Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu kple miawo ŋutɔ hã ŋu.
17 But now, release me from my sin even this time, and petition the Lord your God, so that he may take this death away from me.”
Migatsɔ nye nu vɔ̃ kem zi mamlɛtɔ sia ko, eye miaɖe kuku na Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la be wòaɖe fukpekpe vɔ̃ɖi sia ɖa le dzinye.”
18 And Moses, departing from the sight of Pharaoh, prayed to the Lord.
Le esia ta Mose dzo le Farao gbɔ, eye wòɖe kuku na Yehowa,
19 And he caused a very strong wind to blow from the west, and, seizing the locusts, it cast them into the Red Sea. There remained not so much as one in all the parts of Egypt.
eye Yehowa ɖo ɣetoɖoƒeya sesẽ aɖe ɖa, eye wòkplɔ ʋetsuviawo katã yi ɖakɔ ɖe Ƒu Dzĩ la me. Ʋetsuvi ɖeka pɛ gɔ̃ hã megasusɔ ɖe Egiptenyigba dzi o!
20 And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh; neither did he release the sons of Israel.
Ke Yehowa gana Farao ƒe dzi me gasẽ kokoko, eye meɖe asi le Israelviwo ŋu o.
21 Then the Lord said to Moses: “Extend your hand into the sky. And let there be a darkness over the land of Egypt, so dense that they may be able to feel it.”
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be, “Do wò asi ɖe dziƒo ekema viviti tsiɖitsiɖi ado ɖe Egiptenyigba la dzi.”
22 And Moses extended his hand into the sky. And there came a horrible darkness in the entire land of Egypt for three days.
Mose wɔ alea, eye blukɔ tsiɖitsiɖi aɖe do ɖe Egiptenyigba blibo la dzi ŋkeke etɔ̃.
23 No one saw his brother, nor moved himself out of the place where he was. But wherever the sons of Israel were living, there was light.
Le ɣeyiɣi siawo katã me la, Egiptetɔwo megatea ŋu ʋãna o, le esime kekeli nɔ Israelviwo gbɔ abe tsã ene.
24 And Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron, and he said to them: “Go, sacrifice to the Lord. Only let your sheep and herds remain behind. Your little ones may go with you.”
Farao yɔ Mose, eye wògblɔ nɛ be, “Miyi miasubɔ Yehowa, gake miagblẽ miaƒe lãwo ɖe afi sia. Miate ŋu akplɔ mia viwo gɔ̃ hã ayii.”
25 Moses said: “You must also permit us victims and holocausts, which we may offer to the Lord our God.
Mose ɖo eŋu be, “Kpao, ele be míakplɔ míaƒe lãwo hã ayi hena vɔsa kple numevɔsa na Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu la.
26 All the flocks shall travel with us. Not one hoof of them shall remain behind. For they are necessary for the worship of the Lord our God, especially since we do not know what ought to be immolated, until we arrive at the very place.”
Míagblẽ lã aɖeke ɖi o, eye lã aɖeke ƒe afɔkli gɔ̃ hã matsi anyi o, elabena ele be míasa vɔ na Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu la, eye míate ŋu anya lã siwo wòatia o, va se ɖe esime míaɖo afi ma.”
27 But the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he was not willing to release them.
Ale Yehowa gana Farao ƒe dzi me gasẽ, eye meɖe asi le ameawo ŋu o.
28 And Pharaoh said to Moses: “Withdraw from me, and beware that you no longer see my face. On whatever day you will appear in my sight, you shall die.”
Farao blu ɖe Mose ta be, “Bu le afi sia kaba! Mègana makpɔ wò mo azɔ gbeɖegbeɖe o. Gbe si gbe nàgado ɖe nye ŋkume la, ku kee nàku.”
29 Moses responded: “So be it, just as you have said. I will no longer see your face.”
Mose ɖo eŋu be, “Enyo; mesee. Nyemagado ɖe wò ŋkume azɔ o.”
