Exodus 8

1 And YHWH says to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh, and you have said to him, Thus said YHWH: Send My people away, and they serve Me;

Kisha Yahweh akazungumza na Musa, “Nenda kwa Farao na umwambie, 'Yahweh anasema hivi: Acha watu wangu waende hili wakaniabudu.

2 and if you are refusing to send [them] away, behold, I am striking all your border with frogs;

Ukikataa kuwaruhusu waende, nitaidhuru nchi yako yote kwa vyura.

3 and the River has teemed [with] frogs, and they have gone up and gone into your house, and into the inner-chamber of your bed, and on your couch, and into the house of your servants, and among your people, and into your ovens, and into your kneading-troughs;

Mito itajawa na vyura. Watatoka na kuingia nyumbani kwako, chumbani kwako, na kitandani kwako. Wataenda nyumbani mwa watumishi wako. Wataenda kwa watu wako, kwenye majiko yako, na vyombo vya kukandia mkate.

4 indeed, on you, and on your people, and on all your servants the frogs go up.”

Vyura watakushambulia wewe, watu wako, na watumishi wako wote."”'

5 And YHWH says to Moses, “Say to Aaron, Stretch out your hand, with your rod, against the streams, against the rivers, and against the ponds, and cause the frogs to come up against the land of Egypt.”

Yahweh akamwambia Musa, “Mwambie Aruni, 'Nyoosha mkono wako na gongo lako kwenye mito, mifereji, na kwenye mabwawa, na uwatoe vyura juu ya nchi ya Misri.”'

6 And Aaron stretches out his hand against the waters of Egypt, and the frog comes up, and covers the land of Egypt;

Aruni akanyoosha mkono juu ya maji ya Misri, na vyura wakatoka na kujaza nchi ya Misri.

7 and the enchanters do so with their secrets, and cause the frogs to come up against the land of Egypt.

Lakini wachawi walifanya vivyo hivyo na uchawi wao: waliwatoa vyura juu ya nchi ya Misri.

8 And Pharaoh calls for Moses and for Aaron and says, “Make supplication to YHWH, that he may turn aside the frogs from me, and from my people, and I send the people away, and they sacrifice to YHWH.”

Kisha Farao akawaita Musa na Aruni na kuwaambia, “Muombeni Yahweh iliawaondoe vyura kwangu na kwa watu wangu. Kisha nitawaacha watu waende, iliwamtolee dhabihu.”

9 And Moses says to Pharaoh, “Beautify yourself over me; when do I make supplication for you, and for your servants, and for your people, to cut off the frogs from you and from your houses—only in the River they remain?”

Musa akamwambia Farao, “Unaweza chukuwa fursa ya kuniambia lini nikuombee wewe, watumishi wako, na watu wako, ili vyura waondolewe kwako na nyumbani kwako na wabaki tu kwenye mito.”

10 And he says, “Tomorrow.” And he says, “According to your word [it is], so that you know that there is none like our God YHWH,

Farao akasema, “Kesho.” Musa akasema, “Acha iwe kama ulivyo sema, ili kwamba ujue hakuna Mungu mwengine kama Yahweh, Mungu wetu.

11 and the frogs have turned aside from you, and from your houses, and from your servants, and from your people; only in the River they remain.”

Vyura wataondoka kutoka kwako, nyumbani mwako, kwa watumishi wako, na kwa watu wako. Watabaki tu kwenye mito.”

12 And Moses—Aaron also—goes out from Pharaoh, and Moses cries to YHWH concerning the matter of the frogs which He has set on Pharaoh;

Musa na Aruni wakaondoka kwa Farao. Kisha Musa akamlilia Yahweh kuhusu hao vyura alio waleta kwa Farao.

13 and YHWH does according to the word of Moses, and the frogs die out of the houses, out of the courts, and out of the fields,

Yahweh akafanya kama Musa alivyo omba: Vyura wakafa kwenye nyumba, nyuani, na mashambani.

14 and they heap them up together, and the land stinks.

Watu wakawakusanya kwa mafungu, na nchi ikanuka.

15 And Pharaoh sees that there has been a respite, and he has hardened his heart, and has not listened to them, as YHWH has spoken.

Lakini Farao alipoona kuna afadhali, aliufanya moyo wake kuwa mgumu na hakumsikiliza Musa na Aruni, kama Yahweh alivyo sema.

16 And YHWH says to Moses, “Say to Aaron, Stretch out your rod, and strike the dust of the land, and it has become gnats in all the land of Egypt.”

Yahweh akamwambia Musa, “Mwambie Aruni, 'Nyoosha gongo lako na upige udongo chini, iliuwe chawa kati nchi yote ya Misri.”'

17 And they do so, and Aaron stretches out his hand with his rod, and strikes the dust of the land, and the gnats are on man and on beast; all the dust of the land has been gnats in all the land of Egypt.

Wakanya hivyo: Aruni akanyoosha mkono wake na gongo lake. Akaupiga udongo wa ardhi. Chawa wakaja juu ya watu na wanyama. Udongo wote kwenye ardhi ukawa chawa katika nchi ya Misri.

18 And the enchanters do so with their secrets, to bring out the gnats, and they have not been able, and the gnats are on man and on beast;

Wachawi walijaribu kufanya chawa kwa uganga wao lakini hawakuweza. Palikuwa na chawa kwa watu na kwa wanyama.

19 and the enchanters say to Pharaoh, “It [is] the finger of God”; and the heart of Pharaoh is strong, and he has not listened to them, as YHWH has spoken.

Kisha wachawi wakamwambia Farao, “Hichi ni kidole cha Mungu.” Lakini moyo wa Farao ulikuwa Mgumu, hivyo akakataa kuwasikiliza. Ilikuwa kama Yahweh alivyo sema Farao atafanya.

20 And YHWH says to Moses, “Rise early in the morning, and station yourself before Pharaoh, behold, he is going out to the waters, and you have said to him, Thus said YHWH: Send My people away, and they serve Me;

Yahweh akamwambia Musa, “Inuka asubui mapema na usimame mbele ya Farao anapoenda mtoni. Umwambie, 'Yahweh anasema hivi: “Acha watu wangu waende wakaniabudu mimi.

21 for if you are not sending My people away, behold, I am sending against you, and against your servants, and against your people, and against your houses, the beetle, and the houses of the Egyptians have been full of the beetle, and also the ground on which they are.

Lakini usipo acha watu wangu waende nitatuma kundi la nzi kwako, watumishi wako, na watu wako, na kwenye nyumba zenu. Nyumba za wa Misri zitajawa na makundi ya nzi, na ata ardhi wanayo simama itajawa na nzi.

22 And I have separated in that day the land of Goshen, in which My people are staying, that the beetle is not there, so that you know that I [am] YHWH in the midst of the land,

Lakini katika siku hiyo nitaitendea nchi ya Gosheni tofauti, nchi ambayo watu wangu wanaishi, ilikwamba kusiwe na makundi ya nzi huko. Hili litatokea ili kwamba mjue mimi ni Yahweh katika hii nchi.

23 and I have put a division between My people and your people; this sign is tomorrow.”

Nitaweka utofauti kati ya watu wangu na watu wako. Hii ishara ya nguvu zangu itatokea kesho"”'

24 And YHWH does so, and the grievous beetle enters the house of Pharaoh, and the house of his servants, and in all the land of Egypt the land is corrupted from the presence of the beetle.

Yahweh akafanya hivyo, na kundi kubwa la nzi likaja nyumbani mwa Farao na nyumbani mwa watumishi wake. Katika nchi yote ya Misri, nchi iliharibiwa na makundi ya nzi.

25 And Pharaoh calls to Moses and to Aaron and says, “Go, sacrifice to your God in the land”;

Farao akawaita Musa na Aruni na kuwaambia, “Nendeni, mtolee Mungu wenu dhabihu kwenye nchi yetu.”

26 and Moses says, “[It is] not right to do so—for us to sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to our God YHWH; behold, we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes—and they do not stone us!

Musa akasema, “Sio vyema sisi kufanya hivyo, kwa kuwa dhabihu tunazo mtolea Yahweh Mungu wetu zinachukiza kwa Wamisri. Kama tutatoa dhabihu mbele ya macho yao zilizo chukizo kwa Wamisri, hawata tupiga mawe?

27 We go a journey of three days into the wilderness and have sacrificed to our God YHWH as He says to us.”

Hapana, ni safari ya siku tatu kwenda nyikani ambayo lazima tuende, ili kiutoa dhabihu kwa Yahweh Mungu wetu, kama anavyo tuamuru.”

28 And Pharaoh says, “I send you away, and you have sacrificed to your God YHWH in the wilderness, only do not go very far off; make supplication for me”;

Farao akasema, “Nitakuruhusu kwenda kumtolea dhabihu Yahweh Mungu wenu nyikani. Ila usiende mbali sana. Niombee.”

29 and Moses says, “Behold, I am going out from you, and have made supplication to YHWH, and tomorrow the beetle has turned aside from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people; only, do not let Pharaoh add to deceive in not sending the people away to sacrifice to YHWH.”

Musa akasema, “Wakati tu nitakapoenda kutoka kwako, nitamuomba Yahweh ili makundi ya nzi yatoke kwako, wewe Farao, na watumishi wako na watu kesho. Lakini usifanye udhalimu tena kwa kutowaacha watu wetu waende kumtolea dhabihu Yahweh.”

30 And Moses goes out from Pharaoh, and makes supplication to YHWH,

Musa akaenda nje kutoka kwa Farao na kumuomba Yahweh.

31 and YHWH does according to the word of Moses, and turns aside the beetle from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people—there has not been one left;

Yahweh akafanya kama Musa alivyo muomba: alitoa makundi ya nzi kutoka kwa Farao, watumishi wake, na watu wake. Hakuna ata mmoja aliye baki.

32 and Pharaoh also hardens his heart at this time, and has not sent the people away.

Lakini Farao aliufanya moyo wake mgumu tena, na hakuwaacha watu waende.
