Exodus 9
1 And YHWH says to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh, and you have spoken to him, Thus said YHWH, God of the Hebrews: Send My people away, and they 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 are refusing to send [them] away, and are still keeping hold on them,
Lakini ukikataa kuwaruhusu waende, kama utaendelea kuwa bakiza nyuma,
3 behold, the hand of YHWH is on your livestock which [are] in the field, on horses, on donkeys, on camels, on herd, and on flock—a very grievous pestilence.
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 YHWH has separated between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt, and there does not die a thing of all the sons of Israel;
Yahweh ata tendea tofauti mifugo ya Israeli na mifugo Misri: Haukuna mnyama wa Waisraeli ataye kufa.
5 and YHWH sets an appointed time, saying, Tomorrow YHWH does this thing in the land.”
Yahweh ametenga muda; amesema, “Ni kesho ambapo nitafanya ilitukio katika nchi."”'
6 And YHWH does this thing on the next day, and all the livestock of Egypt die, and of the livestock of the sons of Israel not one has died;
Yahweh akafanya hivi siku iliyofuata: mifugo yote ya Misri ikafa. Lakini hamna mnyama wa Waisraeli aliye kufa, hamna mnyama ata mmoja.
7 and Pharaoh sends, and behold, not even one of the livestock of Israel has died, and the heart of Pharaoh is hard, and he has not sent the people away.
Farao akafanya utafiti, na tazama, hakuna mnyama ata mmoja aliye kufa. Lakini moyo wake ulikuwa mjeuri, hivyo hakuwaacha watu waende.
8 And YHWH says to Moses and to Aaron, “Take for yourselves the fullness of your handfuls—soot of a furnace, and Moses has sprinkled it toward the heavens, before the eyes 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 has become small dust over all the land of Egypt, and it has become on man and on livestock a boil breaking forth [with] blisters in 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 take the soot of the furnace, and stand before Pharaoh, and Moses sprinkles it toward the heavens, and it is a boil [with] blisters breaking forth 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 enchanters have not been able to stand before Moses because of the boil, for the boil has been on the enchanters, and on all the Egyptians.
Waganga hawakuweza kumzuia Musa kwasababu ya majipu, kwasababu majipu yalikuwa kwao na kwa Wamisri wote.
12 And YHWH strengthens the heart of Pharaoh, and he has not listened to them, as YHWH has 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 YHWH says to Moses, “Rise early in the morning, and station yourself before Pharaoh, and you have said to him, Thus said YHWH, God of the Hebrews: Send My people away, and they 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 at this time I am sending all My plagues to your heart, and on your servants, and on your people, so that you 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 have put forth My hand, and I strike you, and your people, with pestilence, and you are hidden from the earth.
Mpaka sasa ningeweza kuunyosha mkono wangu na kukushambulia wewe na watu wako kwa ugonjwa, na ungeondelewa kwenye nchi.
16 And yet for this I have caused you to stand, so as to show you My power, and for the sake of declaring My Name in all the earth;
Lakini ni kwa sababu hii nimekuruhusu uishi: ili kukuonyesha nguvu zangu, ili kwamba jina langu litangazwe dunia nzima.
17 still you are exalting yourself against My people—so as not to send them away;
Bado unajiinua dhidi ya watu wangu kwa kuwaacha wasiende.
18 behold, I am raining very grievous hail about [this] time tomorrow, such as has not been in Egypt from the day of its founding and 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 And now, send, strengthen your livestock and all that you have in the field; every man and beast which is found in the field, and is not gathered into the house—the hail has come down on them, and they have died.”
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 who is fearing the word of YHWH among the servants of Pharaoh has caused his servants and his livestock to flee to 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 who has not set his heart to the word of YHWH leaves his servants and his livestock in the field.
Lakini hao ambao hawa kuchukuwa ujumbe wa Yahweh maanani waliacha watumwa wao na mifugo shambani.
22 And YHWH says to Moses, “Stretch forth your hand toward the heavens, and there is hail in all the land of Egypt, on man, and on beast, and on every herb of the field in 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 stretches out his rod toward the heavens, and YHWH has given voices and hail, and fire goes toward the earth, and YHWH rains 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 and there is hail, and fire catching itself in the midst of the hail, very grievous, such as has not been in all the land of Egypt since it has become 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 strikes all that [is] in the field in all the land of Egypt, from man even to beast, and the hail has struck every herb of the field, and it has broken 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 sons of Israel [are], there has been no hail.
Isipo kuwa tu nchi ya Gosheni, walipo ishi Waisraeli, hapakuwa na mawe ya barafu.
27 And Pharaoh sends, and calls for Moses and for Aaron, and says to them, “I have sinned this time—YHWH [is] the righteous, and I and my people [are] the 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 make supplication to YHWH, and plead that there be no voices of God and hail, and I send you away, and you do not add to remain.”
Muombe Yahweh, kwasababu radi na barafu ya mawe imezidi. Nitawaacha muende, na hamtabaki tena hapa.”
29 And Moses says to him, “At my going out of the city, I spread my palms to YHWH—the voices cease, and there is no more hail, so that you know that the earth [is] YHWH’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 you and your servants—I have known that you are not yet afraid of the face of YHWH God.”
Lakini kwa wewe na watu wako, najua bado hamu mheshimu Yahweh Mungu.”
31 And the flax and the barley have been struck, for the barley [is] budding, and the flax forming flowers,
Sasa kitani na shayiri ziliharibiwa, kwa kuwa shayiri ilikuwa katika kukomaa, na kitani ilikuwa imestawi.
32 and the wheat and the rye have not been struck, for they are late.
Lakini ngano na kusemethu hazikupigwa mana zinachelewa kukua.
33 And Moses goes out from Pharaoh, [from] the city, and spreads his hands to YHWH, and the voices and the hail cease, and rain has not been poured out to 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 Pharaoh sees that the rain has ceased, and the hail and the voices, and he continues to sin, and hardens 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 is strong, and he has not sent the sons of Israel away, as YHWH has spoken by the hand of Moses.
Moyo wa Farao ulikuwa mgumu, hakuacha watu wa Israeli waende. Hivi ndivyo Yahweh alimwambia Musa Farao atafanya.
