Exodus 9
1 Then the LORD said to Moses, Go in to Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus says the LORD God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
Kisha Yahweh akamwambia Musa, Nenda kwa Farao na umwambie, 'Yahweh, Mungu wa Waebrania, anasema hivi: “Acha watu wangu waende ili wakaniabudu mimi.”
2 For if you refuse to let them go, and will hold them still,
Lakini ukikataa kuwaruhusu waende, kama utaendelea kuwa bakiza nyuma,
3 Behold, the hand of the LORD is on your cattle which is in the field, on the horses, on the asses, on the camels, on the oxen, and on the sheep: there shall be a very grievous murrain.
basi mkono wa Yahweh utakuwa kinyume dhidi ya mifugo yako shambani na kwa farasi, punda, ngamia, ng'ombe na kondoo, naitasababisha ugonjwa mbaya sana.
4 And the LORD shall sever between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt: and there shall nothing die of all that is the children’s of Israel.
Yahweh ata tendea tofauti mifugo ya Israeli na mifugo Misri: Haukuna mnyama wa Waisraeli ataye kufa.
5 And the LORD appointed a set time, saying, To morrow the LORD shall do this thing in the land.
Yahweh ametenga muda; amesema, “Ni kesho ambapo nitafanya ilitukio katika nchi."”'
6 And the LORD did that thing on the morrow, and all the cattle of Egypt died: but of the cattle of the children of Israel died not one.
Yahweh akafanya hivi siku iliyofuata: mifugo yote ya Misri ikafa. Lakini hamna mnyama wa Waisraeli aliye kufa, hamna mnyama ata mmoja.
7 And Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there was not one of the cattle of the Israelites dead. And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the people go.
Farao akafanya utafiti, na tazama, hakuna mnyama ata mmoja aliye kufa. Lakini moyo wake ulikuwa mjeuri, hivyo hakuwaacha watu waende.
8 And the LORD said to Moses and to Aaron, Take to you handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it toward the heaven in the sight of Pharaoh.
Kisha Yahweh akawambia Musa na Aruni, “Chukuwa majivu na uyajaze mkononi kutoka kwenye tanuru. Wewe, Musa, lazima uyarushe juu wakati Farao akitazama.
9 And it shall become small dust in all the land of Egypt, and shall be a boil breaking forth with blains on man, and on beast, throughout all the land of Egypt.
Yatakuwa vumbi safi nchi nzima ya Misri. Yatasababisha majipu na mafua kulipuka kwa watu na wanyama katika nchi yote ya Msri.”
10 And they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it up toward heaven; and it became a boil breaking forth with blains on man, and on beast.
Hivyo Musa na Aruni wakachukuwa majivu kutoka kwenye tanuru na kusimama mbele ya Farao. KIsha Musa akarusha majivu juu. Majivu yakasababisha majipu na mafua kutokea kwa watu na wanyama.
11 And the magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boil was on the magicians, and on all the Egyptians.
Waganga hawakuweza kumzuia Musa kwasababu ya majipu, kwasababu majipu yalikuwa kwao na kwa Wamisri wote.
12 And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he listened not to them; as the LORD had spoken to Moses.
Yahweh akaufanya moyo wa Farao kuwa mgumu, Farao hakuwasikiliza Musa na Aruni. Hili ndilo Yahweh alilo mwambia Musa Farao atalo fanya.
13 And the LORD said to Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and say to him, Thus says the LORD God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
Kisha Yahweh akamwambia Musa, Amka asubui mapema, simama mbele ya Farao, na umwambie, 'Yahweh, Mungu wa Waebrania, anasema hivi: Acha watu wangu waende ili wakaniabudu mimi.
14 For I will at this time send all my plagues on your heart, and on your servants, and on your people; that you may know that there is none like me in all the earth.
Kwa muda huu nitatuma mapigo kwako wewe, kwa watumishi wako na watu wako. Nitafanya hivi ili ujue hakuna kama mimi kwenye dunia yote.
15 For now I will stretch out my hand, that I may smite you and your people with pestilence; and you shall be cut off from the earth.
Mpaka sasa ningeweza kuunyosha mkono wangu na kukushambulia wewe na watu wako kwa ugonjwa, na ungeondelewa kwenye nchi.
16 And in very deed for this cause have I raised you up, for to show in you my power; and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth.
Lakini ni kwa sababu hii nimekuruhusu uishi: ili kukuonyesha nguvu zangu, ili kwamba jina langu litangazwe dunia nzima.
17 As yet exalt you yourself against my people, that you will not let them go?
Bado unajiinua dhidi ya watu wangu kwa kuwaacha wasiende.
18 Behold, to morrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as has not been in Egypt since the foundation thereof even until now.
Sikiliza! Kesho muda kama huu nita leta mvua ya mawe ya barafu kubwa, kama ambayo haijawai kuonekana Misri toka ilipo anza hadi sasa.
19 Send therefore now, and gather your cattle, and all that you have in the field; for on every man and beast which shall be found in the field, and shall not be brought home, the hail shall come down on them, and they shall die.
Kisha sasa, tuma wanaume na ukusanye mifugo yako na vitu vyote ulivyo navyo mashambani sehemu salama. Kila mtu na mnyama aliyeko shambani na hajaletwa nyumbani - mawe ya barufu yatawashukia, na watakufa."”'
20 He that feared the word of the LORD among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses:
Kisha hao wa watumishi wa Farao walio amini ujumbe wa Yahweh waka harakisha kuleta watumwa na mifugo yao ndani ya nyumba zao.
21 And he that regarded not the word of the LORD left his servants and his cattle in the field.
Lakini hao ambao hawa kuchukuwa ujumbe wa Yahweh maanani waliacha watumwa wao na mifugo shambani.
22 And the LORD said to Moses, Stretch forth your hand toward heaven, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, on man, and on beast, and on every herb of the field, throughout the land of Egypt.
Kisha Yahweh akamwambia Musa, “Nyoosha mkono wako kuelekea mbingu ili kuwe na mawe ya barafu katika nchi yote ya Misri, kwa watu, kwa wanyama, na kwenye mimea yote shambani na nchi nzima ya Misri.”
23 And Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven: and the LORD sent thunder and hail, and the fire ran along on the ground; and the LORD rained hail on the land of Egypt.
Musa akanyoosha mkono na gongo lake kuelekea mbiguni, na Yahweh akatuma mngurumo, mawe ya barafu, na radi kwenye nchi. Pia alinyesha mvua kwenye nchi ya Misri.
24 So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as there was none like it in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.
Hivyo kulikuwa na radi iliyo changanyika na mawe ya barafu, ilikuwa hatari sana, kuliko yeyote iliyowai kutokea kwenye nchi ya Misri tangu liwe taifa.
25 And the hail smote throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and beast; and the hail smote every herb of the field, and broke every tree of the field.
Katika nchi yote ya Misri, barafu ya mawe ilipiga kila kitu kwenye shamba, watu na wanyama. Ilipiga kila mmea shambani na kuvunja kila mti.
26 Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, was there no hail.
Isipo kuwa tu nchi ya Gosheni, walipo ishi Waisraeli, hapakuwa na mawe ya barafu.
27 And Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and said to them, I have sinned this time: the LORD is righteous, and I and my people are wicked.
Kisha Farao akatuma wanaume wakawaite Musa na Aruni. Akawaambia, “Nimetenda dhambi wakati huu. Yahweh ni mwenye haki, na mimi na watu wangu ni waovu.
28 Entreat the LORD (for it is enough) that there be no more mighty thunder and hail; and I will let you go, and you shall stay no longer.
Muombe Yahweh, kwasababu radi na barafu ya mawe imezidi. Nitawaacha muende, na hamtabaki tena hapa.”
29 And Moses said to him, As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will spread abroad my hands to the LORD; and the thunder shall cease, neither shall there be any more hail; that you may know how that the earth is the LORD’s.
Musa akamwambia, “Nitakapo ondoka tu kwenye mji, nitaitanua mikono yangu kwa Yahweh. Mngurumo utaacha, na hakutakuwa na barafu ya mawe tena. Kwa ili utajua kuwa nchi ni ya Yahweh.
30 But as for you and your servants, I know that you will not yet fear the LORD God.
Lakini kwa wewe na watu wako, najua bado hamu mheshimu Yahweh Mungu.”
31 And the flax and the barley was smitten: for the barley was in the ear, and the flax was in bloom.
Sasa kitani na shayiri ziliharibiwa, kwa kuwa shayiri ilikuwa katika kukomaa, na kitani ilikuwa imestawi.
32 But the wheat and the rye were not smitten: for they were not grown up.
Lakini ngano na kusemethu hazikupigwa mana zinachelewa kukua.
33 And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread abroad his hands to the LORD: and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured on the earth.
Musa alipo muacha Farao na mji, alitanua mikono yake kwa Yahweh; mngurumo na barafu ya mawe ikasimama, na mvua haikunyesha tena.
34 And when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders were ceased, he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he and his servants.
Farao alipoona mvua, barafu ya mawe, na mngurumo umekatika, akatenda dhambi na kufanya moyo wake kuwa mgumu, pamoja na watumishi wake.
35 And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, neither would he let the children of Israel go; as the LORD had spoken by Moses.
Moyo wa Farao ulikuwa mgumu, hakuacha watu wa Israeli waende. Hivi ndivyo Yahweh alimwambia Musa Farao atafanya.
