< Exodus 10 >

1 And the Lord said to Moses: Go in to Pharao; for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants: that I may work these my signs in him.
Alò, SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Ale vè Farawon, paske Mwen te fè kè l di, ak kè a sèvitè li yo, pou Mwen kapab fè sign sa yo selon Mwen menm pami yo,
2 And thou mayest tell in the ears of thy sons, and of they grandsons, how often I have plagued the Egyptians, and wrought my signs amongst them: and you may know that I am the Lord:
epi pou ou kapab rakonte nan zòrèy fis ou yo, ak fis a fis ou yo sa Mwen te fè Égypte, ak jan Mwen te fè sign Mwen yo pami yo, pou nou kapab konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a.”
3 Therefore Moses and Aaron went in to Pharao, and said to him: Thus saith the Lord God of the Hebrews: How long refusest thou to submit to me? let my people go, to sacrifice to me.
Moïse avèk Aaron te ale vè Farawon, e te di li: “Konsa pale SENYÈ a, Bondye a Ebre yo: ‘Jiska konbyen de tan ou va refize imilye ou devan Mwen? Kite pèp Mwen an ale, pou yo kapab sèvi Mwen.
4 But if thou resist, and wilt not let them go, behold I will bring in tomorrow the locust into thy coasts:
“‘Oswa, si ou refize kite pèp Mwen an ale, gade byen, demen Mwen va mennen krikèt nan teritwa pa w la.
5 To cover the face of the earth that nothing thereof may appear, but that which the hail hath left may be eaten: for they shall feed upon all the trees that spring in the fields.
Yo va kouvri tout sifas latè pou pèsòn pa kab wè tè a. Yo va anplis manje rès nan sa ki te chape yo—sa ki te rete pou ou aprè lagrèl la—e yo va manje chak bwa ki vin boujonnen pou ou nan chan an.
6 And they shall fill thy houses, and the houses of thy servants, and of all the Egyptians: such a number as thy fathers have not seen, nor thy grandfathers, from the time they were first upon the earth, until this present day. And he turned himself away, and went forth from Pharao.
Konsa, kay nou yo va vin ranpli, kay a tout sèvitè nou yo, e kay a tout Ejipsyen yo, yon bagay ke ni papa nou yo, ni papa a papa nou yo pa t janm wè, depi jou ke yo te vini sou tè a, jiska jodi a.’” Konsa, li te vire kite Farawon.
7 And Pharao’s servants said to him: How long shall we endure this scandal? let the men go to sacrifice to the Lord their God. Dost thou not see that Egypt is undone?
Sèvitè Farawon yo te di li: “Pou konbyen de tan mesye sila a ap rete tankou yon pèlen pou nou? Kite mesye yo ale pou yo kapab sèvi SENYÈ Bondye a yo a. Èske ou pa wè ke Égypte gen tan fin detwi?”
8 And they called back Moses and Aaron to Pharao: and he said to them: Go, sacrifice to the Lord your God: who are they that shall go?
Alò, yo te mennen Moïse avèk Aaron retounen vè Farawon. Li te di yo: “Ale sèvi SENYÈ a, Bondye ou a! Kilès nan nou k ap prale yo?”
9 Moses said: We will go with our young and old, with our sons and daughters, with our sheep and herds: for it is the solemnity of the Lord our God.
Moïse te di: “Nou va ale avèk jenn nou yo, ak granmoun nou yo. Avèk fis nou yo ak fi nou yo, avèk bann mouton nou yo, ak twoupo nou yo. Nou va ale, paske nou oblije fè yon fèt pou onore SENYÈ a.”
10 And Pharao answered: So be the Lord with you, as I shall let you and your children go: who can doubt but that you intend some great evil?
Alò li te di yo: “Vrèman SENYÈ a avèk nou, si janmen ou wè mwen ta kite nou avèk pitit nou yo ale! Veye nou, paske se mechanste nou anvizaje nan tèt nou.
11 It shall not be so: but go ye men only, and sacrifice to the Lord: for this yourselves also desired. And immediately they were cast out from Pharao’s presence.
Se pa konsa! Ale koulye a ak mesye ki pami nou yo, pou sèvi SENYÈ a, konsi se sa menm nou vle fè.” Konsa yo te chase yo ale kite prezans Farawon.
12 And the Lord said to Moses: Stretch forth thy hand upon the land of Egypt unto the locust, that it may come upon it, and devour every herb that is left after the hail.
Alò SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Lonje men ou sou peyi Égypte la pou krikèt yo, pou yo kapab vin monte sou peyi Égypte la, pou yo ka manje chak plan ki nan tè a, menm tout sa ke lagrèl la te kite yo.”
13 And Moses stretched forth his rod upon the land of Egypt: and the Lord brought a burning wind all that day, and night: and when it was morning, the burning wind raised the locusts:
Alò, Moïse te lonje baton li sou peyi Égypte la, e SENYÈ a te dirije yon van lès sou latè pandan tout jounen an, ak tout nwit lan. Epi lè li te vin maten, van lès la te pote krikèt yo.
14 And they came up over the whole land of Egypt: and rested in all the coasts of the Egyptians innumerable, the like as had not been before that time, nor shall be hereafter.
Krikèt yo te vini sou tout latè an Égypte. Yo te vin rete nan tout teritwa Égypte la; yo te debòde l nèt. Pa t janm genyen fòs kantite krikèt egal a sa a, ni p ap janm genyen ankò.
15 And they covered the whole face of the earth, wasting all things. And the grass of the earth was devoured, and what fruits soever were on the trees, which the hail had left: and there remained not any thing that was green on the trees, or in the herbs of the earth in all Egypt.
Paske yo te kouvri sifas tout tè a, jiskaske latè te vin tounwa, epi yo te manje chak plant peyi a ak tout fwi nan bwa ke lagrèl te kite yo. Konsa, anyen vèt pa t rete nan bwa yo ni plant chan yo nan tout peyi Égypte la.
16 Wherefore Pharao in haste called Moses and Aaron, and said to them: I have sinned against the Lord your God, and against you.
Alò, Farawon te fè vit pou rele Moïse avèk Aaron, e li te di: “Mwen te peche kont SENYÈ a Bondye nou an, e kont nou menm.
17 But now forgive me my sin this time also, and pray to the Lord your God, that he take away from me this death.
Alò, pou sa, souple padone peche mwen yo sèlman pou fwa sa a, e fè lapriyè pou mwen bay SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, pou Li ta sèlman retire lanmò sa a sou mwen.”
18 And Moses going forth from the presence of Pharao, prayed to the Lord.
Li te sòti devan Farawon e li te fè lapriyè bay SENYÈ a.
19 And he made a very strong wind to blow from the west, and it took the locusts and cast them into the Red Sea: there remained not so much as one in all the coasts of Egypt.
Alò, SENYÈ a te fè van an chanje an yon van lwès byen fò ki te leve pran tout krikèt yo, e te voye yo nan Lamè Wouj. Menm yon sèl krikèt pa t rete nan tout teritwa Égypte la.
20 And the Lord hardened Pharao’s heart, neither did he let the children of Israel go.
Men SENYÈ a te fè kè Farawon an vin di, e li pa t kite fis Israël yo ale.
21 And the Lord said to Moses: Stretch out they hand towards heaven: and may there be darkness upon the land of Egypt, so thick that it may be felt.
Alò SENYÈ a te di Moïse: “Lonje men ou vè syèl la, pou kapab vin gen tenèb sou tout peyi Égypte la, menm yon tenèb tèlman lou ke yon moun ka santi l.”
22 And Moses stretch forth his hand towards heaven: and there came horrible darkness in all the land of Egypt for three days.
Alò Moïse te lonje men l vè syèl la, e te vin gen yon pwofon tenèb nan tout peyi Égypte la pandan twa jou.
23 No man saw his brother, nor moved himself out of the place where he was: but wheresoever the children of Israel dwelt there was light.
Yo pa t kapab wè youn lòt ni pèsòn pa t leve kite kote yo ye a pandan twa jou. Men tout fis Israël yo te gen limyè nan andwa pa yo a.
24 And Pharao called Moses and Aaron, and said to them: Go sacrifice to the Lord: let your sheep only, and herds remain; let your children go with you.
Alò Farawon te rele Moïse. Li te di: “Ale, sèvi SENYÈ a, men kite bann mouton avèk twoupo yo dèyè. Menm pitit nou yo kapab ale avèk nou.”
25 Moses said: Thou shalt give us also sacrifices and burnt offerings, to the Lord our God.
Men Moïse te di: “Ou oblije osi kite nou fè sakrifis e brile ofrann, pou nou kapab fè sakrifis a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.
26 All the flocks shall go with us: there shall not a hoof remain of them: for they are necessary for the service of the Lord our God: especially as we know not what must be offered, till we come to the very place.
Pou sa, bèt nou yo tou ap prale avèk nou. Pa menm youn zago k ap rete dèyè, paske nou va pran kèk nan yo pou sèvi SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an. Epi jiskaske nou rive la, nou menm pa konnen avèk kilès nan yo nou oblije sèvi SENYÈ a.”
27 And the Lord hardened Pharao’s heart, and he would not let them go.
Men SENYÈ a te fè kè a Farawon vin di, e li pa t dakò kite yo ale.
28 And Pharao said to Moses: Get thee from me, and beware thou see not my face any more: in what day soever thou shalt come in my sight, thou shalt die.
Alò, Farawon te di li: “Sòti sou mwen! Veye ou pou pa wè figi m ankò, paske nan jou ou wè figi m ou va mouri.”
29 Moses answered: So shall it be as thou hast spoken, I will not see thy face any more.
Moïse te di: “Ou gen rezon; Mwen p ap janmen wè figi ou ankò!”
