< Exodus 10 >

1 The Lord told Moses, “Go and see Pharaoh, because it was me who gave him and his officials a stubborn attitude so that I may perform my miracles before them.
Nígbà náà ni Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé, “Lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ Farao, mo ti ṣé àyà Farao le àti àyà àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀, kí èmi kí o ba le ṣe àwọn iṣẹ́ ìyanu mi láàrín wọn.
2 This is so you can tell your children and grandchildren how I made the Egyptians look foolish by doing these miracles among them, and so that you may know that I am the Lord.”
Kí ẹ̀yin ki ó le sọ fún àwọn ọmọ yín àti àwọn ọmọ ọmọ yín; bí mo ti jẹ àwọn ará Ejibiti ní yà àti bí mo ti ṣe àwọn iṣẹ́ ìyanu láàrín wọn. Kí ìwọ ba á le mọ̀ pé Èmi ni Olúwa.”
3 Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and told him, “This is what the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, says: ‘How long are you going to refuse to humble yourself before me? Let my people go, so that they can worship me.
Nígbà náà ni Mose àti Aaroni tọ Farao lọ, tiwọn sí wí fún un pé, “Èyí ni Olúwa, Ọlọ́run àwọn Heberu sọ, ‘Yóò ti pẹ́ to ti ìwọ yóò kọ̀ láti tẹrí ara rẹ ba ní iwájú mi? Jẹ́ kí àwọn ènìyàn mi kí ó lọ, kí wọn kí ó sìn mi.
4 If you refuse to let my people leave, tomorrow I will send a plague of locusts into your country.
Bí ìwọ bá kọ̀ láti jẹ́ kí wọn lọ, èmi yóò mú eṣú wa sí orílẹ̀-èdè rẹ ní ọ̀la.
5 There will be so many of them that they'll cover the ground so no one can see it. They will eat whatever crops were left by the hail, as well as every tree growing in your fields.
Wọn yóò bo gbogbo ilẹ̀. Wọn yóò ba ohun gbogbo tí ó kù fún ọ lẹ́yìn òjò yìnyín jẹ́, tí ó fi dórí gbogbo igi tí ó ń dàgbà ni ilẹ̀ rẹ.
6 They will swarm into your houses and into the houses of all your officials—in fact into the houses of every Egyptian. This is something that none of your forefathers ever saw from the time they arrived in this country.’” Then Moses and Aaron turned and left Pharaoh.
Wọn yóò kún gbogbo ilé rẹ àti ilé àwọn ìjòyè rẹ àti ilé gbogbo àwọn ará Ejibiti. Ohun ti baba rẹ tàbí baba baba rẹ kò tí ì rí láti ìgbà tí wọ́n ti wà ní ilẹ̀ náà títí di àkókò yìí.’” Nígbà náà ni Mose pẹ̀yìndà kúrò níwájú Farao.
7 Pharaoh's officials came to him and asked, “How long are you going to let this man cause us trouble? Let these people go so they can worship the Lord their God. Don't you realize that Egypt has been destroyed?”
Àwọn ìjòyè Farao sọ fún un, “Yóò ti pẹ́ to tí ọkùnrin yìí yóò máa jẹ́ ìkẹ́kùn fún wa? Jẹ́ kí àwọn ènìyàn yìí lọ, kí wọn kí ó le sìn Olúwa Ọlọ́run wọn. Ṣe ìwọ kò ṣe àkíyèsí síbẹ̀ pé, ilẹ̀ Ejibiti ti parun tán?”
8 Moses and Aaron were brought back to see Pharaoh. “Go and worship the Lord your God,” he told them. “But who of you will be going?”
Nígbà náà ni a mú Aaroni àti Mose padà wá sí iwájú Farao ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ lọ sìn Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín. Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ta ni nínú yín ni yóò ha lọ.”
9 “We will all go,” Moses replied. “Young and old, sons and daughters—and we'll take our flocks and herds with us, for we're going to have a religious festival for the Lord.”
Mose dáhùn ó wí pé, “A ó lọ pẹ̀lú àwọn ọmọdé àti àgbà wa, pẹ̀lú àwọn ọmọ wa ọkùnrin àti ọmọ wa obìnrin pẹ̀lú agbo àgùntàn wa àti agbo màlúù wa nítorí pé a gbọdọ̀ ṣe àjọ fún Olúwa.”
10 “The Lord really would have to be with you if I let your children go with you!” Pharaoh answered. “Clearly you're planning some kind of evil trick!
Farao sì wí pé, “Mo fi Olúwa búra pé èmi kí yóò jẹ́ kí ẹ lọ, pẹ̀lú àwọn obìnrin yín àti àwọn ọmọ wẹ́wẹ́, dájúdájú èrò ibi ní ń bẹ nínú yín.
11 So no! Only the men can go and worship the Lord, because that's what you've been asking for.” Then he had Moses and Aaron thrown out.
Rárá! Ọkùnrin yín nìkan ni kí ó lọ, láti lọ sin Olúwa, níwọ̀n ìgbà tí ó jẹ́ pé èyí ni ẹ̀yin ń béèrè fún.” Wọ́n sì lé Mose àti Aaroni kúrò ní iwájú Farao.
12 The Lord told Moses, “Lift up your hand over Egypt, so that the locusts may swarm over it and eat every plant in the country—everything that was left by the hail.”
Ní ìgbà náà ni Olúwa sọ fún Mose, “Gbé ọwọ́ rẹ sókè lórí Ejibiti kí ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ eṣú bo gbogbo ilẹ̀, kí ó sì ba gbogbo ohun ọ̀gbìn tí ó wà ni inú oko wọn jẹ́, àní gbogbo ohun tí òjò yìnyín kò bàjẹ́ tan.”
13 Moses held out his staff over Egypt, and all through that day and night the Lord sent an east wind blowing over the land. By the time morning came the east wind had brought in the locusts.
Nígbà náà ni Mose na ọ̀pá ọwọ́ rẹ̀ sórí ilẹ̀ Ejibiti, Olúwa sì mú kí afẹ́fẹ́ láti ìlà-oòrùn fẹ́ kọjá lórí ilẹ̀ náà ni gbogbo ọ̀sán àti ni gbogbo òru ni ọjọ́ náà. Ní òwúrọ̀ afẹ́fẹ́ náà ti gbá ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ eṣú wá;
14 The locusts swarmed across the land and settled in every part of the country. There had never been such a swarm of locusts ever before, and there won't be ever again.
wọ́n sì bo gbogbo ilẹ̀ Ejibiti, wọ́n wà ní ibi gbogbo ní orí ilẹ̀ ní àìmoye, ṣáájú àkókò yìí kò sí irú ìyọnu eṣú bẹ́ẹ̀ rí, kò sì ní sí irú rẹ mọ́ lẹ́yìn èyí.
15 They covered the ground until it looked black, and they ate up all the plants in the fields and all the fruit on the trees that had been left by the hail. Not a single green leaf was left on any tree or plant anywhere in Egypt.
Wọ́n bo gbogbo ilẹ̀ tí ilẹ̀ fi di dúdú. Wọ́n ba gbogbo ohun tókù ní orí ilẹ̀ lẹ́yìn òjò yìnyín jẹ́; gbogbo ohun ọ̀gbìn tí ó wà ní inú oko àti gbogbo èso tí ó wà lórí igi. Kò sí ewé tí ó kù lórí igi tàbí lórí ohun ọ̀gbìn ní gbogbo ilẹ̀ Ejibiti.
16 Pharaoh called urgently for Moses and Aaron and said, “I have sinned against the Lord your God and against you.
Farao yára ránṣẹ́ pe Mose àti Aaroni, ó sì sọ fún wọn pé, “Èmi ti ṣẹ̀ sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín àti sí i yín pẹ̀lú.
17 So please forgive my sin just this one time and plead with the Lord your God, asking him to at least take away this deathly plague from me.”
Nísinsin yìí ẹ dáríjì mi lẹ́ẹ̀kan sí i kí ẹ sì gbàdúrà sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín kí ó lè mú ìpọ́njú yìí kúrò ní ọ̀dọ̀ mi.”
18 Moses left Pharaoh and prayed to the Lord.
Nígbà náà ni Mose kúrò ní iwájú Farao ó sì gbàdúrà sí Olúwa.
19 The Lord changed the direction of the wind so that a strong westerly wind blew the locusts into the Red Sea. There wasn't a single locust left anywhere in Egypt.
Olúwa sì yí afẹ́fẹ́ náà padà di afẹ́fẹ́ líle láti apá ìwọ̀-oòrùn wá láti gbá àwọn eṣú náà kúrò ní orí ilẹ̀ Ejibiti lọ sínú Òkun Pupa. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ẹyọ eṣú kan kò ṣẹ́kù sí orí ilẹ̀ Ejibiti.
20 But the Lord made Pharaoh stubborn, and he would not let the Israelites go.
Síbẹ̀ Olúwa ṣe àyà Farao le, kò sì jẹ́ kí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli lọ.
21 The Lord told Moses, “Lift your hand toward the sky so that darkness will fall over Egypt, darkness so thick that it can be felt.”
Nígbà náà ni Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé, “Gbé ọwọ́ rẹ sókè sí ojú ọ̀run kí òkùnkùn bá à le bo gbogbo ilẹ̀ Ejibiti; àní òkùnkùn biribiri.”
22 Moses lifted up his hand toward heaven, and the whole of Egypt went completely dark for three days.
Nígbà náà ni Mose gbé ọwọ́ rẹ sókè sí ojú ọ̀run, òkùnkùn biribiri sì bo gbogbo ilẹ̀ Ejibiti fún ọjọ́ mẹ́ta. Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ní ìmọ́lẹ̀ ní ibi tí wọn ń gbé.
23 No one could see anyone else, and no one moved from where they were for three days. But there was still light where all the Israelites lived.
Kò sí ẹni tí ó le è ríran rí ẹlòmíràn tàbí kí ó kúrò ní ibi tí ó wà fún ọjọ́ mẹ́ta. Síbẹ̀ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ni ìmọ́lẹ̀ ni gbogbo ibi tí wọ́n ń gbé.
24 Eventually Pharaoh called for Moses. “Go and worship the Lord,” he said. “Just leave your flocks and herds here. You can even take your children with you.”
Farao sì ránṣẹ́ pe Mose ó sì wí fún un pé, “Lọ sin Olúwa, kódà àwọn obìnrin àti àwọn ọmọdé lè lọ pẹ̀lú yín, ṣùgbọ́n kí ìwọ kí ó fi agbo àgùntàn àti agbo màlúù yín sílẹ̀.”
25 But Moses replied, “You must also let us have animals for sacrifices and burnt offerings, so we can offer them to the Lord our God.
Ṣùgbọ́n Mose sọ pé, “Ìwọ gbọdọ̀ fún wa láààyè láti rú ẹbọ àti ọrẹ ẹbọ sísun ní iwájú Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa.
26 Our livestock have to go with us too—not a single animal will be left behind. We'll need some of them to worship the Lord our God, and we won't know how we are to worship the Lord until we get there.”
Àwọn ohun ọ̀sìn wa gbọdọ̀ lọ pẹ̀lú wa, a kì yóò fi pátákò ẹsẹ̀ ẹran sílẹ̀. A ní láti lò lára wọn fún sínsin Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa, ìgbà tí a bá sì dé ibẹ̀ ni a ó to mọ̀ ohun ti a ó lò láti fi sin Olúwa.”
27 But the Lord made Pharaoh stubborn, and he would not let them go.
Ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa sé ọkàn Farao le, kò sì ṣetán láti jẹ́ kí wọn lọ.
28 Pharaoh shouted at Moses, “Get out of here! I don't want to see you ever again! If I ever do see you again you'll die!”
Farao sọ fún Mose pé, “Kúrò ní iwájú mi! Rí i dájú pé o kò wá sí iwájú mi mọ́! Ọjọ́ tí ìwọ bá rí ojú mi ni ìwọ yóò kùú.”
29 “May it be as you say,” Moses replied. “I won't see you again.”
Mose sì dáhùn pé, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìwọ ti wí, “Èmi kí yóò wá sí iwájú rẹ mọ́.”
