< Exodus 9 >
1 Then the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be, “Trɔ nàyi Farao gbɔ, eye nàgblɔ nɛ be, ‘Yehowa, Hebritɔwo ƒe Mawu la be nàɖe asi le yeƒe amewo ŋu woayi aɖasubɔ ye.
2 For if thou refuse to let [them] go, and wilt hold them still,
Ne miegbe asiɖeɖe le wo ŋu, eye miezi wo dzi la,
3 Behold, the hand of the LORD is upon thy cattle which [is] in the field, upon the horses, upon the asses, upon the camels, upon the oxen, and upon the sheep: [there shall be] a very grievous murrain.
ekema Yehowa ƒe asi ahe dɔvɔ̃ dziŋɔ aɖe ava miaƒe lãha siwo le gbedzi la dzi, ava miaƒe sɔwo, tedziwo, kposɔwo, nyiwo kple alẽwo kple gbɔ̃wo siaa dzi.
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.
Gake Yehowa ade vovo Israelviwo kple Egiptetɔwo ƒe lãhawo dome, ale be Israelviwo ƒe lã aɖeke maku o.’”
5 And the LORD appointed a set time, saying, To morrow the LORD shall do this thing in the land.
Yehowa ɖo ɣeyiɣi, eye wògblɔ be, “Etsɔ si gbɔna la, Yehowa awɔ nu sia le anyigba sia dzi.”
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.
Eye Yehowa na wòva eme. Esi ŋu ke ŋdi la, Egiptetɔwo ƒe lãwo katã de asi kuku me, ke Israelviwo tɔwo dometɔ ɖeka pɛ gɔ̃ hã meku o.
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 dɔ ame ɖa be woakpɔe be Israelviwo ƒe lãwo ya tsi agbe mahã. Togbɔ be woɖi ɖase nɛ be nyateƒee hã la, metrɔ eƒe tameɖoɖo la o. Egagbe asiɖeɖe le ameawo ŋu kokoko!
8 And the LORD said unto Moses and unto Aaron, Take to you handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it toward the heaven in the sight of Pharaoh.
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose kple Aron be, “Milɔ dzowɔ asiʋlo aɖewo tso kpo me, eye Mose nawui ɖe yame le Farao ŋkume.
9 And it shall become small dust in all the land of Egypt, and shall be a boil breaking forth [with] blains upon man, and upon beast, throughout all the land of Egypt.
Dzowɔ la akaka abe ʋuʋudedi ene ɖe Egiptenyigba blibo la dzi, eye wòana ƒoƒoe nate amewo kple lãwo siaa le anyigba blibo la dzi.”
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 upon man, and upon beast.
Ale woɖe dzowɔ tso kpo me, eye woyi Farao gbɔ. Esi Farao nɔ wo kpɔm la, Mose wu dzowɔ la ɖe yame, eye wòzu ƒoƒoe te amewo kple lãwo siaa le anyigba blibo la dzi.
11 And the magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boil was upon the magicians, and upon all the Egyptians.
Akunyawɔlawo mete ŋu tɔ ɖe Mose ŋkume o, le ƒoƒoeawo ta, elabena ƒoƒoeawo te Egiptetɔwo katã.
12 And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had spoken unto Moses.
Ke Yehowa gana Farao ƒe dzi me gasẽ kokoko, ale wògagbe nusese abe ale si Yehowa gblɔe na Mose da ɖi ene.
13 And the LORD said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
Azɔ la, Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be, “Fɔ ŋdi kanya, nàdo ɖe Farao ŋkume, eye nàgblɔ nɛ be, ‘Ale Yehowa, Hebritɔwo ƒe Mawu la gblɔe nye si, Ɖe asi le nye amewo ŋu woayi aɖasubɔm.
14 For I will at this time send all my plagues upon thine heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people; that thou mayest know that [there is] none like me in all the earth.
Ne menye nenema o la, fifia ya la, maɖo nye dɔvɔ̃ ɖe mia dome kple ŋusẽ blibo, wòagblẽ nu le wò ŋutɔ, wò dumegãwo kple wò amewo ŋuti ale be mianyae be ame aɖeke megale anyigba blibo la dzi abe nye ene o.
15 For now I will stretch out my hand, that I may smite thee and thy people with pestilence; and thou shalt be cut off from the earth.
Anye ne le ɣeyiɣi sia me la, medo nye asi ɖa, gblẽ nu le wò kple wò amewo ŋu kple dɔvɔ̃ aɖe si ate ŋu atsrɔ̃ mi katã ɖa le anyigba la dzi hafi.
16 And in very deed for this [cause] have I raised thee up, for to shew [in] thee my power; and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth.
Gake meɖe miaƒe agbe le susu sia ta be maɖe nye ŋusẽ afia mi, eye woaɖe gbeƒã nye ŋkɔ le anyigba blibo la dzi.
17 As yet exaltest thou thyself against my people, that thou wilt not let them go?
Ke ègatsi tsitre ɖe nye ameawo ŋu kokoko, eye nègbe be yemaɖe asi le wo ŋu woadzo o,
18 Behold, to morrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as hath not been in Egypt since the foundation thereof even until now.
eya ta le etsɔ ɣeyiɣi sia tututu la, maɖo kpetsi vɔ̃ɖitɔ ɖa wòadza ɖe dukɔ blibo la dzi. Kpetsi sia tɔgbi medza kpɔ tso esime woɖo Egipte gɔme anyi o.
19 Send therefore now, [and] gather thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field; [for upon] every man and beast which shall be found in the field, and shall not be brought home, the hail shall come down upon them, and they shall die.
Ɖe gbe na ameawo azɔ be, woakplɔ wò lãhawo kple nu siwo katã le asiwò le gbedzi la ava de kpo me, elabena kpetsi la adza ɖe amewo kple lã siwo womekplɔ va aƒe me o la siaa dzi, eye wo katã woaku.’”
20 He that feared the word of the LORD among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses:
Yehowa ƒe nya siawo do ŋɔdzi na Egiptetɔ aɖewo ale gbegbe be wokplɔ woƒe lãwo kple kluviwo de xɔ me.
21 And he that regarded not the word of the LORD left his servants and his cattle in the field.
Ke ame siwo mebu Yehowa ƒe nya nanekee o la gblẽ woƒe lãwo ɖe gbedzi.
22 And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch forth thine hand toward heaven, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, upon man, and upon beast, and upon every herb of the field, throughout the land of Egypt.
Yehowa gagblɔ na Mose be, “Fia asi dziƒo, eye nàna kpetsi la nadza le Egiptenyigba blibo la dzi, ɖe amewo, atiwo kple lãwo siaa dzi.”
23 And Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven: and the LORD sent thunder and hail, and the fire ran along upon the ground; and the LORD rained hail upon the land of Egypt.
Ale Mose do asi ɖe dzi, eye Yehowa ɖo dziɖegbe kple kpetsi kple dzikedzo ɖa.
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.
Nu sia dzi ŋɔ wu gbɔgblɔ, kpetsi sia tɔgbi medza kpɔ le Egiptenyigba blibo la dzi esi wòzu dukɔ o.
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 brake every tree of the field.
Nu geɖewo gblẽ le Egipte. Nu sia nu si tsi gbedzi, amewo kple lãwo siaa woku; atiwo ta ŋe, eye agblemenuwo katã gblẽ.
26 Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel [were], was there no hail.
Teƒe ɖeka pɛ si ko dzi kpetsi la medza ɖo o, le Egiptenyigba blibo la dzie nye Gosen, afi si Israelviwo nɔ.
27 And Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and said unto them, I have sinned this time: the LORD [is] righteous, and I and my people [are] wicked.
Farao ɖo du ɖe Mose kple Aron, eye wòʋu eme na wo be, “Medze si nye vodada azɔ, Yehowa tɔ dzɔ. Nye kple nye amewo míeda vo tso gɔmedzedzea va se ɖe fifia.
28 Intreat the LORD (for [it is] enough) that there be no [more] mighty thunderings and hail; and I will let you go, and ye shall stay no longer.
Miɖe kuku na Yehowa be, wòatsi dziɖegbe kple kpetsi dziŋɔ sia nu, ekema mana miadzo enumake.”
29 And Moses said unto him, As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will spread abroad my hands unto the LORD; [and] the thunder shall cease, neither shall there be any more hail; that thou mayest know how that the earth [is] the LORD’s.
Mose ɖo eŋu be, “Enyo, ne medo le dua me teti ko la, make nye abɔwo me do ɖe Yehowa gbɔ, ekema dziɖegbe la kple kpetsi la nu atso. Esia afia wò be Yehowae le xexea me dzi ɖum.
30 But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye will not yet fear the LORD God.
Ke le wò ŋutɔ kple ŋuwòmewo gome la, menya be fifia gɔ̃ hã la, mieɖoa to Yehowa Mawu o.”
31 And the flax and the barley was smitten: for the barley [was] in the ear, and the flax [was] bolled.
(Kpetsi la gblẽ ɖetifu kple lu o, elabena lu la ɖi, eye ɖetifu la hã ƒo se xoxo hafi,
32 But the wheat and the rie were not smitten: for they [were] not grown up.
ke lu kple bli ya megblẽ o, elabena woawo metse haɖe o.)
33 And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread abroad his hands unto the LORD: and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured upon the earth.
Ale Mose dzo le Farao gbɔ. Esi wòdo go le dua me la, edo eƒe asiwo ɖe dziƒo na Yehowa. Dziɖegbe kple kpetsi la nu tso, eye tsi hã dzudzɔ dzadza.
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.
Esi Farao kpɔ be tsidzadza, kpetsi kple dziɖegbe la tɔ la, egawɔ nu vɔ̃; eya kple eƒe dumegãwo sẽ woƒe dzi me.
35 And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, neither would he let the children of Israel go; as the LORD had spoken by Moses.
Ale Farao ƒe dzi me gasẽ, eye wògbe asiɖeɖe le Israelviwo ŋu abe ale si Yehowa gblɔe to Mose dzi ene.
