< Exodus 8 >

1 And the Lord said to Moses: Go in to Pharao, and thou shalt say to him: Thus saith the Lord: Let my people go to sacrifice to me.
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis sị, “Jekwuru Fero gwa ya, ‘Nke a bụ ihe Onyenwe anyị kwuru. Hapụ ndị m, ka ha gaa fee m ofufe.
2 But if thou wilt not let them go behold I will strike all thy coasts with frogs.
Ọ bụrụ na ị jụ ịhapụ ha ka ha gaa, aga m eme ka awọ jupụta nʼala Ijipt niile.
3 And the river shall bring forth an abundance of frogs: which shall come up, and enter into thy house, and thy bedchamber, and upon thy bed, and in the houses of thy servants, and to thy people, and into thy ovens, and into the remains of thy meats;
Osimiri Naịl ga-ejupụta nʼawọ. Ha ga-abata nʼụlọeze gị na nʼime ọnụụlọ ndina gị, ma nʼelu ihe ndina gị, ma nʼụlọ ndị na-ejere gị ozi, ma nʼụlọ ndị gị niile, na nʼebe a na-esi nri, ma nʼime ihe e ji agwakọta ụtụ ọka.
4 And the frogs shall come in to thee and to thy people, and to all thy servants.
Awọ ndị a ga-arịgokwa nʼahụ gị, na nʼahụ ndị gị, na nʼahụ ndị na-ejere gị ozi.’”
5 And the Lord said to Moses: Say to Aaron, Stretch forth thy hand upon the streams and upon the rivers and the pools, and bring forth frogs upon the land of Egypt.
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis sị, “Gwa Erọn, ‘Setịpụ aka gị ya na mkpanaka gị nʼelu osimiri niile, na mmiri nta na ọdọ mmiri ndị Ijipt, mee ka awọ jupụta ala Ijipt niile.’”
6 And Aaron stretched forth his hand upon the waters of Egypt, and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt.
Erọn setịpụrụ aka nʼelu mmiri niile nke Ijipt, awọ pụtara kpuchie ala ahụ niile.
7 And the magicians also by their enchantments did in like manner, and the brought forth frogs upon all the land of Egypt.
Ma ndị majiki Ijipt jikwa ihe nzuzo ha mee ihe ahụ Mosis na Erọn mere. Ha mekwara ka awọ jupụta ala ahụ niile.
8 But Pharao called Moses and Aaron and said to them: Pray ye to the Lord to take away the frogs from me and from my people; and I will let the people go to sacrifice to the Lord.
Fero kpọrọ Mosis na Erọn rịọọ ha sị, “Rịọọnụ Onyenwe anyị ka o wepụrụ mụ na ndị m awọ ndị a. Emesịa aga m ekwe ka ndị gị gaa chụọrọ Onyenwe anyị aja.”
9 And Moses said to Pharao: Set me a time when I shall pray for thee, and for thy servants, and for thy people, that the frogs may be driven away from thee and from thy house, and from thy servants, and from thy people: and may remain only in the river.
Mosis zaghachiri Fero sị, “Gị ka ọ dịrị ịgwa m mgbe m ga-arịọ arịrịọ a nʼisi gị na nʼisi ndị gị, ka e wezuga awọ ndị a site nʼụlọ unu, ma hapụ naanị ndị nọ nʼosimiri Naịl.”
10 And he answered: Tomorrow. But he said: I will do according to thy word; that thou mayst know that there is none like to the Lord our God.
Mgbe ahụ Fero sịrị Mosis, “Achọrọ m ka i mee ya echi.” Mosis zaghachiri Fero sị, “Ọ dị mma, ka ọ dịrị dịka i kwuru. Mgbe ahụ, ị ga-amata na o nweghị onye dịka Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị.
11 And the frogs shall depart from thee, and from thy house, and from thy servants, and from thy people; and shall remain only in the river.
Awọ ndị a niile ga-apụ site nʼebe ị nọ, na site nʼụlọ gị na site nʼụlọ ndị na-ejere gị ozi na site nʼụlọ ndị Ijipt niile. Ọ bụ naanị nʼosimiri Naịl ka ha ga-anọ.”
12 And Moses and Aaron went forth from Pharao: and Moses cried to the Lord for the promise, which he had made to Pharao concerning the frogs.
Mgbe Mosis na Erọn sitere nʼụlọ Fero pụọ, Mosis kpọkuru Onyenwe anyị ka o wepụ awọ ndị a o mere ka ha bịakwasị Fero.
13 And the Lord did according to the word of Moses: and the frogs died out of the houses, and out of the villages, and out of the fields:
Onyenwe anyị mere ihe Mosis rịọrọ. Awọ ndị ahụ niile nwụrụ nʼime ụlọ, na nʼama, na nʼọhịa.
14 And they gathered them together into immense heaps, and the land was corrupted.
E kpokọtara ozu awọ ndị a niile nʼebe dị iche iche. Isi ọjọọ ha wetara nʼala ahụ dị egwu.
15 And Pharao seeing that rest was given, hardened his own heart, and did not hear them, as the Lord had commanded.
Ma mgbe Fero hụrụ na awọ ndị a anwụchaala, o mechiri obi ya jụ ige Mosis na Erọn ntị, dịka Onyenwe anyị kwuru na ọ ga-eme.
16 And the Lord said to Moses: Say to Aaron, Stretch forth thy rod, and strike the dust of the earth: and may there be sciniphs in all the land of Egypt.
Ya mere, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis sị ya, “Gwa Erọn, setịpụ mkpanaka gị, tie nʼaja nke ala nʼala Ijipt niile, aja ya ga-aghọ anwụ nta nke na-ata ata.”
17 And they did so. And Aaron stretched forth his hand, holding the rod: and he struck the dust of the earth, and there came sciniphs on men and on beasts: all the dust of the earth was turned into sciniphs through all the land of Egypt.
Mosis na Erọn mere nke a. Mgbe Erọn setịpụrụ aka tie mkpanaka ya nʼelu ala, anwụ nta jupụtara nʼala Ijipt niile, nʼahụ ndị mmadụ, na nʼahụ anụmanụ ha. Ndanda ndị a jupụtakwara nʼuzuzu niile dị nʼala ahụ.
18 And the magicians with their enchantments practiced in like manner, to bring forth sciniphs, and they could not and there were sciniphs as well on men as on beasts.
Ndị Ijipt na-eme majiki gbalịrị iji ihe nzuzo ha mee otu ihe ahụ Erọn mere, ma ha enweghị ike ime ka anwụ nta ọbụla pụta. Ebe ọ bụ na anwụ nta ndị a jupụtara nʼahụ mmadụ na nʼahụ anụmanụ niile.
19 And the magicians said to Pharao This is the finger of God. And Pharao heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them, as the Lord had commanded.
Naanị ihe ndị na-eme majiki gwara Fero bụ, “Nke a bụ akaọrụ Chineke.” Ma Fero mere ka obi ya sie ike. Ọ chọghị ige, ọ bụladị ndị majiki ya ntị, dịka Onyenwe anyị kwuru na ọ ga-eme.
20 The Lord also said to Moses: Arise early, and stand before Pharao: for he will go forth to the waters: and thou shalt say to him: Thus saith the Lord: Let my people go to sacrifice to me.
Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis sị ya, “Bilie nʼisi ụtụtụ echi jekwuru Fero. Mgbe ọ ga-aga nʼosimiri, gwa ya okwu sị, ‘Nke a bụ ihe Onyenwe anyị kwuru, Hapụ ndị m ka ha gaa fee m ofufe.
21 But if thou wilt not let them go, behold I will send in upon thee, and upon thy servants, and upon thy houses all kind of flies: and the houses of the Egyptians shall be filled with flies of divers kinds, and the whole land wherein they shall be.
Ọ bụrụ na ị chọghị ime otu a, aga m eme ka igwe ijiji jupụta nʼala Ijipt niile. Ha ga-ejupụta gị nʼahụ na nʼahụ ndị na-ejere gị ozi, na nʼahụ ndị gị niile, na nʼime ụlọ unu niile.
22 And I will make the land of Gessen wherein my people is, wonderful in that lay, so that flies shall not be there: and thou shalt know that I am the Lord in the midst of the earth.
“‘Nʼụbọchị ahụ, igwe ijiji ndị a agaghị emetụ ndị nọ na Goshen ebe ndị m bi. Mgbe ahụ ka ị ga-amata na mụ bụ Onyenwe anyị bịara ije nʼala a.
23 And I will put a division between my people and thy people: tomorrow shall this sign be.
Aga m emekwa ka ọ pụta ìhè na o nwere ihe dị iche nʼetiti ndị m na ndị gị. Ihe ịrịbama a ga-emezukwa echi.’”
24 And the Lord did so. And there came a very grievous swarm of flies into he houses of Pharao and of his servants, and into all the land of Egypt: and the land was corrupted by this kind of flies.
Nʼechi ya, Onyenwe anyị mere dịka o kwuru. Igwe ijiji dị egwu nʼọnụọgụgụ bịara nʼala Ijipt, jupụta nʼụlọ Fero, na nʼụlọ ndị niile na-ejere ya ozi, na nʼala Ijipt niile. E mere ka ala Ijipt bụrụ ihe e ji ijiji mebie.
25 And Pharao called Moses and Aaron, and said to them: Go, and sacrifice to your God in this land.
Mgbe ihe ndị a na-eme, Fero kpọrọ Mosis na Erọn gwa ha okwu sị, “Gaanụ chụọrọ Chineke unu aja, ma ka ọ bụrụ nʼala Ijipt.”
26 And Moses said: It cannot be so: for we shall sacrifice the abominations of the Egyptians to the Lord our God: now if we kill those things which the Egyptians worship, in their presence, they will stone us.
Mosis zaghachiri Fero sị, “Nke ahụ abụghị ihe ziri ezi, nʼihi na aja anyị na-aga ịchụrụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị bụ ihe rụrụ arụ nʼanya ndị Ijipt. Ọ bụrụ na anyị achụọ aja a nʼihu ha, ha ga-eji nkume tugbuo anyị.
27 We will go three days’ journey into the wilderness: and we will sacrifice to the Lord our God, as he hath commanded us.
Anyị ga-aga njem ụbọchị atọ nʼime ọzara gaa chụọrọ Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị aja, dịka o nyere anyị iwu ka anyị mee.”
28 And Pharao said: I will let you go to sacrifice to the Lord your God in the wilderness: but go no farther: pray for me.
Fero zaghachiri ha sị, “Aga m ekwenye ka unu ga chụọrọ Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu aja nʼọzara, ma unu agaghị aga ebe dị anya. Ugbu a, kperenụ m ekpere.”
29 And Moses said: I will go out from thee, and will pray to the Lord: and the flies shall depart from Pharao, and from his servants, and from his people tomorrow: but do not deceive any more, in not letting the people go to sacrifice to the Lord.
Mosis zara Fero sị ya, “Ngwangwa m si nʼihu gị pụọ, aga m arịọ Onyenwe anyị arịrịọ. Echi, a ga-esite nʼụlọ Fero, na nʼụlọ ndị na-ejere ya ozi, na nʼụlọ ndị Ijipt niile wezuga ijiji ndị a. Ọ ga-adị mkpa na Fero ga-elezi anya hapụ ịghọ aghụghọ ọzọ site ịjụ ka ụmụ Izrel gaa chụọrọ Onyenwe anyị aja.”
30 So Moses went out from Pharao, and prayed to the Lord.
Mgbe ahụ, Mosis sitere nʼihu Fero pụọ rịọọ Onyenwe anyị ka o mee ka ijiji ndị a gabiga.
31 And he did according to his word: and he took away the flies from Pharao, and from his servants, and from his people: there was not left so much as one.
Onyenwe anyị mere dịka Mosis rịọrọ. Ijiji ndị a sitere nʼụlọ Fero na ụlọ ndị na-ejere ya ozi na ụlọ ndị Ijipt niile pụọ. O nwekwaghị ijiji ọ bụla fọdụrụ nʼala ahụ.
32 And Pharao’s heart was hardened, so that neither this time would he let the people go.
Ma nʼoge a, Fero gara nʼihu ime ka obi ya sie ike. O kweghị ka ụmụ Izrel laa.
