< Exodus 10 >

1 And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Go in unto Pharaoh; for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I might show these My signs in the midst of them;
Kenaka Yehova anati kwa Mose, “Pita kwa Farao, pakuti Ine ndawumitsa mtima wake ndi mitima ya nduna zake kuti ndichite zizindikiro zozizwitsa pakati pawo
2 and that thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son, and of thy son's son, what I have wrought upon Egypt, and My signs which I have done among them; that ye may know that I am the LORD.'
kuti inu mudzawuze ana ndi zidzukulu zanu za mmene ndinawakhawulitsira Aigupto ndi zizindikiro zozizwitsa zimene ndinachita pakati pawo ndiponso kuti inu mudziwe kuti ine ndine Yehova.”
3 And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and said unto him: 'Thus saith the LORD, the God of the Hebrews: How long wilt thou refuse to humble thyself before Me? let My people go, that they may serve Me.
Ndipo Mose ndi Aaroni anapita kwa Farao ndi kukanena kuti, “Yehova Mulungu wa Ahebri, akuti: ‘Kodi udzakanabe kudzichepetsa pamaso panga mpaka liti? Alole anthu anga apite kuti akandipembedze.
4 Else, if thou refuse to let My people go, behold, to-morrow will I bring locusts into thy border;
Ngati ukana kuwalola, ndigwetsa dzombe mʼdziko lako lino mawa.
5 and they shall cover the face of the earth, that one shall not be able to see the earth; and they shall eat the residue of that which is escaped, which remaineth unto you from the hail, and shall eat every tree which groweth for you out of the field;
Dzombeli lidzakuta nthaka yonse moti sidzaoneka konse. Lidzadya kalikonse kakangʼono kamene sikanawonongedwe ndi matalala aja, kuphatikizapo mitengo yonse imene ikumera mʼminda yanu.
6 and thy houses shall be filled, and the houses of all thy servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians; as neither thy fathers nor thy fathers' fathers have seen, since the day that they were upon the earth unto this day.' And he turned, and went out from Pharaoh.
Dzombeli lidzadzaza nyumba zako ndi za nduna zako ndiponso za Aigupto onse, chinthu chimene ngakhale makolo anu kapena makolo awo sanachionepo kuyambira tsiku limene anakhala mʼdzikoli mpaka lero.’” Ndipo Mose ndi Aaroni anatembenuka ndi kumusiya Farao.
7 And Pharaoh's servants said unto him: 'How long shall this man be a snare unto us? let the men go, that they may serve the LORD their God, knowest thou not yet that Egypt is destroyed?'
Nduna za Farao zinamufunsa kuti, “Kodi munthu uyu adzativutitsa mpaka liti? Aloleni anthuwa apite, kuti akapembedze Yehova Mulungu wawo. Kodi simukuona kuti dziko la Igupto lawonongeka?”
8 And Moses and Aaron were brought again unto Pharaoh; and he said unto them: 'Go, serve the LORD your God; but who are they that shall go?'
Choncho Mose ndi Aaroni anayitanidwanso kwa Farao ndipo anati, “Pitani kapembedzeni Yehova Mulungu wanu. Koma ndani amene adzapite?”
9 And Moses said: 'We will go with our young and with our old, with our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our herds we will go; for we must hold a feast unto the LORD.'
Mose anayankha kuti, “Ife tidzapita tonse pamodzi; angʼonoangʼono ndi akuluakulu, ana athu aamuna ndi aakazi, ndiponso ziweto zathu ndi ngʼombe chifukwa tikakhala ndi chikondwerero cha kwa Yehova.”
10 And he said unto them: 'So be the LORD with you, as I will let you go, and your little ones; see ye that evil is before your face.
Farao anati, “Yehova akhale ndi inu ngati ndingakuloleni kupita pamodzi ndi akazi ndi ana anu! Zikuoneka kuti mwakonzeka kuchita choyipa.
11 Not so; go now ye that are men, and serve the LORD; for that is what ye desire.' And they were driven out from Pharaoh's presence.
Ndakana! Amuna okha ndiwo apite ndi kukapembedza Yehova pakuti izi ndi zimene mwakhala mukupempha.” Kenaka Mose ndi Aaroni anathamangitsidwa pamaso pa Farao.
12 And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Stretch out thy hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up upon the land of Egypt, and eat every herb of the land, even all that the hail hath left.'
Ndipo Yehova anati kwa Mose, “Tambalitsa dzanja lako pa dziko la Igupto kuti dzombe lidze pa dziko la Igupto ndi kuwononga chilichonse chimene chikumera mʼminda ndi chilichonse chimene chinatsala pa nthawi ya matalala.”
13 And Moses stretched forth his rod over the land of Egypt, and the LORD brought an east wind upon the land all that day, and all the night; and when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts.
Kotero Mose anakweza ndodo yake pa dziko la Igupto, ndipo Yehova anawutsa mphepo ya kummawa imene inawomba pa dziko usana ndi usiku wonse. Mmene kumacha nʼkuti mphepoyo itabweretsa dzombe.
14 And the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested in all the borders of Egypt; very grievous were they; before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after them shall be such.
Dzombelo linafika pa dziko lonse la Igupto ndi kukhala dera lililonse la dzikolo. Dzombe lambiri ngati limenelo silinakhaleponso nʼkale lonse ndipo silidzakhalapo ngakhale mʼtsogolo.
15 For they covered the face of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened; and they did eat every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left; and there remained not any green thing, either tree or herb of the field, through all the land of Egypt.
Dzombelo linaphimba nthaka yonse mpaka kuoneka kuti bii. Linadya zonse zimene zinatsala nthawi ya matalala, zomera za mʼmunda ndi zipatso. Panalibe chobiriwira chilichonse chimene chinatsala pa mtengo kapena pa chomera chilichonse mʼdziko lonse la Igupto.
16 Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste; and he said: 'I have sinned against the LORD your God, and against you.
Mwamsangamsanga, Farao anayitanitsa Mose ndi Aaroni ndipo anati, “Ine ndachimwira Yehova Mulungu wanu ndiponso inu.
17 Now therefore forgive, I pray thee, my sin only this once, and entreat the LORD your God, that He may take away from me this death only.'
Tsopano ndikhululukirenso tchimo langa kano konkha ndipo pempherani kwa Yehova Mulungu wanu kuti andichotsere mliri wosakazawu.”
18 And he went out from Pharaoh, and entreated the LORD.
Mose anachoka kwa Farao nakapemphera kwa Yehova.
19 And the LORD turned an exceeding strong west wind, which took up the locusts, and drove them into the Red Sea; there remained not one locust in all the border of Egypt.
Ndipo Yehova anasintha mphepo ija kuti ikhale ya mphamvu yochokera ku madzulo, ndipo inanyamula dzombe lija nʼkulikankhira mʼNyanja Yofiira. Panalibe dzombe ndi limodzi lomwe limene linatsala mu Igupto.
20 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he did not let the children of Israel go.
Koma Yehova anawumitsa mtima wa Farao, ndipo sanalole kuti Aisraeli apite.
21 And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Stretch out thy hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt.'
Kenaka Yehova anati kwa Mose, “Tambasulira dzanja lako kumwamba kuti kukhale mdima umene udzaphimba dziko lonse la Igupto, mdima wandiweyani.”
22 And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days;
Choncho Mose anakweza dzanja lake kumwamba ndipo mdima wandiweyani unaphimba dziko lonse la Igupto kwa masiku atatu.
23 they saw not one another, neither rose any from his place for three days; but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.
Palibe amene anatha kuona mnzake kapena kuchoka pa khomo pake kwa masiku atatu. Koma kumalo kumene kumakhala Aisraeli kunali kowala.
24 And Pharaoh called unto Moses, and said: 'Go ye, serve the LORD; only let your flocks and your herds be stayed; let your little ones also go with you.'
Kenaka Farao anayitanitsa Mose ndi Aaroni nati, “Pitani kapembedzeni Yehova. Ngakhale akazi ndi ana anu apite pamodzi ndi inu. Koma musatenge ziweto zanu ndi ngʼombe zanu.”
25 And Moses said: 'Thou must also give into our hand sacrifices and burnt-offerings, that we may sacrifice unto the LORD our God.
Koma Mose anati, “Ndiye inu mutipatse nsembe zopsereza zoti tikapereke kwa Yehova Mulungu wathu.
26 Our cattle also shall go with us; there shall not a hoof be left behind; for thereof must we take to serve the LORD our God; and we know not with what we must serve the LORD, until we come thither.'
Koma ayi, ife tipita ndi ziweto zathu. Palibe chiweto chilichonse chimene chitatsale kuno, popeza tikasankha komweko ziweto zokapembedzera Yehova. Sitingadziwe zimene tikagwiritse ntchito popembedza Yehova mpaka titakafika kumeneko.”
27 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he would not let them go.
Koma Yehova anawumitsa mtima wa Farao ndipo sanafune kuwalola kuti apite.
28 And Pharaoh said unto him: 'Get thee from me, take heed to thyself, see my face no more; for in the day thou seest my face thou shalt die.'
Farao anati kwa Mose, “Choka pamaso panga! Uwonetsetse kuti usadzaonekerenso pamaso panga! Tsiku limene ndidzakuonenso udzafa.”
29 And Moses said: 'Thou hast spoken well; I will see thy face again no more.'
Mose anayankha kuti, “Monga momwe mwaneneramu, Ine sindidzaonekeranso pamaso panu.”
