Exodus 8
1 And Jehovah said to Moses, Go unto Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith Jehovah: Let my people go, that they may serve me.
Ndipo Bwana akamwambia Mose, “Nenda kwa Farao ukamwambie, ‘Hili ndilo asemalo Bwana: Waachie watu wangu waende, ili wapate kuniabudu.
2 And if thou refuse to let [them] go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs.
Kama ukikataa kuwaruhusu kuondoka, basi nitaipiga nchi yako yote kwa kuwaletea vyura.
3 And the river shall swarm with frogs, and they shall go up and come into thy house, and into thy bedroom, and upon thy bed, and into the house of thy bondmen, and upon thy people, and into thine ovens, and into thy kneading-troughs.
Mto Naili utafurika vyura. Watakuja kwenye jumba lako la kifalme na katika chumba chako cha kulala na kitandani mwako, katika nyumba za maafisa wako na kwa watu wako, vyura hao wataingia katika meko yenu na kwenye vyombo vya kukandia unga.
4 And the frogs shall come up both upon thee and upon thy people, and upon all thy bondmen.
Vyura watapanda juu yako, juu ya watu wako na maafisa wako wote.’”
5 And Jehovah said to Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy hand with thy staff over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and cause frogs to come up on the land of Egypt.
Ndipo Bwana akamwambia Mose, “Mwambie Aroni, ‘Nyoosha mkono wako ukiwa na ile fimbo yako juu ya vijito, mifereji na madimbwi, fanya vyura waje juu ya nchi ya Misri.’”
6 And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt.
Ndipo Aroni akaunyoosha mkono wake juu ya maji ya Misri, nao vyura wakatokea na kuifunika nchi.
7 And the scribes did so with their sorceries, and brought up frogs on the land of Egypt.
Lakini waganga wakafanya vivyo hivyo kwa siri ya uganga wao, nao pia wakafanya vyura kuja juu ya nchi ya Misri.
8 And Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron, and said, Intreat Jehovah, that he may take away the frogs from me and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may sacrifice to Jehovah.
Ndipo Farao akamwita Mose na Aroni na kusema, “Mwombeni Bwana awaondoe vyura kutoka kwangu na kwa watu wangu, nami nitawaachia watu wenu waende kumtolea Bwana dhabihu.”
9 And Moses said to Pharaoh, Glory over me, for what time shall I intreat for thee, and for thy bondmen, and for thy people, to cut off the frogs from thee and from thy houses; [so that] they shall remain in the river only?
Mose akamwambia Farao, “Ninakupa heshima ya kuamua ni wakati gani wa kukuombea wewe, maafisa wako na watu wako ili kwamba vyura watoke kwenu na kwenye nyumba zenu. Isipokuwa wale walio katika Mto Naili.”
10 And he said, For to-morrow. And he said, Be it according to thy word; that thou mayest know that there is none like Jehovah our God.
Farao akasema, “Kesho.” Mose akamjibu, “Itakuwa kama unavyosema, ili upate kujua kwamba hakuna yeyote kama Bwana Mungu wetu.
11 And the frogs shall depart from thee, and from thy houses, and from thy bondmen, and from thy people: they shall remain in the river only.
Vyura wataondoka kwako na katika nyumba zako, kwa maafisa wako na kwa watu wako, ila watabakia katika Mto Naili tu.”
12 And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh; and Moses cried to Jehovah because of the frogs that he had brought against Pharaoh.
Baada ya Mose na Aroni kuondoka kwa Farao, Mose akamlilia Bwana kuhusu vyura aliokuwa amewaleta kwa Farao.
13 And Jehovah did according to the word of Moses; and the frogs died out of the houses, out of the courts, and out of the fields.
Naye Bwana akafanya lile Mose alilomwomba. Vyura wakafia ndani ya nyumba, viwanjani na mashambani.
14 And they gathered them in heaps; and the land stank.
Wakayakusanya malundo, nchi nzima ikanuka.
15 And Pharaoh saw that there was respite; and he hardened his heart, and hearkened not to them, as Jehovah had said.
Lakini Farao alipoona pametokea nafuu, akaushupaza moyo wake na hakuwasikiliza Mose na Aroni, kama vile Bwana alivyokuwa amesema.
16 And Jehovah said to Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy staff, and smite the dust of the earth, and it shall become gnats throughout the land of Egypt.
Ndipo Bwana akamwambia Mose, “Mwambie Aroni, ‘Nyoosha fimbo yako uyapige mavumbi ya ardhi,’ nayo nchi yote ya Misri mavumbi yatakuwa viroboto.”
17 And they did so; and Aaron stretched out his hand with his staff, and smote the dust of the earth, and there arose gnats on man and on beast: all the dust of the land became gnats throughout the land of Egypt.
Wakafanya hivyo, Aroni aliponyoosha mkono wake wenye fimbo na kuyapiga mavumbi ya nchi, viroboto wakawajia watu na wanyama. Mavumbi yote katika nchi ya Misri yakawa viroboto.
18 And the scribes did so with their sorceries, to bring forth gnats; but they could not. And the gnats were on man and on beast.
Lakini waganga walipojaribu kutengeneza viroboto kwa siri ya uganga wao, hawakuweza. Nao viroboto walikuwa juu ya watu na wanyama.
19 Then the scribes said to Pharaoh, This is the finger of God! But Pharaoh's heart was stubborn, and he hearkened not to them, as Jehovah had said.
Waganga wale wakamwambia Farao, “Hiki ni kidole cha Mungu.” Lakini moyo wa Farao ukawa mgumu naye hakuwasikiliza, kama vile Bwana alivyosema.
20 And Jehovah said to Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh — behold, he will go out to the water — and say to him, Thus saith Jehovah, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
Kisha Bwana akamwambia Mose, “Amka mapema asubuhi na usimame mbele ya Farao wakati anapokwenda mtoni nawe umwambie, ‘Hili ndilo Bwana asemalo: Waachie watu wangu waende, ili wapate kuniabudu.
21 For, if thou do not let my people go, behold, I will send dog-flies upon thee, and upon thy bondmen, and upon thy people, and into thy houses; and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of dog-flies, and also the ground on which they are.
Kama hutawaachia watu wangu waondoke nitakupelekea makundi ya mainzi juu yako, kwa maafisa wako, kwa watu wako na kwenye nyumba zenu. Nyumba za Wamisri zitajazwa mainzi, hata na ardhi yote ya Misri.
22 And I will distinguish in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no dog-flies shall be there; that thou mayest know that I Jehovah am in the midst of the land.
“‘Lakini siku ile nitafanya kitu tofauti katika nchi ya Gosheni, ambapo watu wangu wanaishi, hapatakuwepo na makundi ya mainzi, ili mpate kujua kwamba Mimi, Bwana, niko katika nchi hii.
23 And I will put a separation between my people and thy people; to-morrow shall this sign be.
Nitaweka tofauti kati ya watu wangu na watu wenu. Ishara hii ya ajabu itatokea kesho.’”
24 And Jehovah did so; and there came dog-flies in a multitude into the house of Pharaoh, and [into] the houses of his bondmen; and throughout the land of Egypt, the land was corrupted by the dog-flies.
Naye Bwana akafanya hivyo. Makundi makubwa ya mainzi yalimiminika katika jumba la kifalme la Farao na katika nyumba za maafisa wake, pia nchi yote ya Misri ikaharibiwa na mainzi.
25 And Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron, and said, Go, sacrifice to your God in the land.
Ndipo Farao akamwita Mose na Aroni na kuwaambia, “Nendeni mkamtolee Mungu wenu dhabihu katika nchi hii.”
26 And Moses said, It is not proper to do so; for we should sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to Jehovah our God: lo, if we sacrificed the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, would they not stone us?
Lakini Mose akamwambia, “Hilo halitakuwa sawa. Dhabihu tutakazomtolea Bwana Mungu wetu zitakuwa chukizo kwa Wamisri. Kama tukitoa dhabihu ambazo ni chukizo mbele yao, je, hawatatupiga mawe?
27 We will go three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to Jehovah our God, as he shall command us.
Ni lazima twende mwendo wa siku tatu mpaka tufike jangwani ili tumtolee Bwana Mungu wetu dhabihu, kama alivyotuagiza.”
28 And Pharaoh said, I will let you go, that you may sacrifice to Jehovah your God in the wilderness; only, go not very far away: intreat for me!
Farao akamwambia, “Nitawaruhusu mwende kumtolea Bwana Mungu wenu dhabihu huko jangwani, lakini hamna ruhusa kwenda mbali sana. Sasa mniombee.”
29 And Moses said, Behold, I go out from thee, and will intreat Jehovah; and the dog-flies will depart from Pharaoh, from his bondmen, and from his people, to-morrow; only let not Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to Jehovah.
Mose akajibu, “Mara tu nitakapoondoka, nitamwomba Bwana na kesho mainzi yataondoka kwa Farao, kwa maafisa wake na kwa watu wake. Hakikisha tu kwamba Farao hatatenda kwa udanganyifu tena kwa kutokuwaachia watu waende kumtolea Bwana dhabihu.”
30 And Moses went out from Pharaoh, and intreated Jehovah.
Ndipo Mose akamwacha Farao na kumwomba Bwana,
31 And Jehovah did according to the word of Moses; and he removed the dog-flies from Pharaoh, from his bondmen, and from his people; there remained not one.
naye Bwana akafanya lile Mose alilomwomba. Mainzi yakaondoka kwa Farao, kwa maafisa wake na kwa watu wake, wala hakuna hata inzi aliyebakia.
32 And Pharaoh hardened his heart this time also, and would not let the people go.
Lakini wakati huu pia Farao akaushupaza moyo wake, wala hakuwaruhusu Waisraeli waondoke.
