< Exodus 8 >
1 The LORD spoke to Moses, Go in to Pharaoh, and tell him, "This is what the LORD says, 'Let my people go, that they may serve me.
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis sị, “Jekwuru Fero gwa ya, ‘Nke a bụ ihe Onyenwe anyị kwuru. Hapụ ndị m, ka ha gaa fee m ofufe.
2 If you refuse to let them go, look, I will plague all your borders with frogs:
Ọ bụrụ na ị jụ ịhapụ ha ka ha gaa, aga m eme ka awọ jupụta nʼala Ijipt niile.
3 and the river shall swarm with frogs, which shall go up and come into your house, and into your bedchamber, and on your bed, and into the house of your servants, and on your people, and into your ovens, and into your kneading troughs:
Osimiri Naịl ga-ejupụta nʼawọ. Ha ga-abata nʼụlọeze gị na nʼime ọnụụlọ ndina gị, ma nʼelu ihe ndina gị, ma nʼụlọ ndị na-ejere gị ozi, ma nʼụlọ ndị gị niile, na nʼebe a na-esi nri, ma nʼime ihe e ji agwakọta ụtụ ọka.
4 and the frogs shall come up both on you, and on your people, and on all your servants.'"
Awọ ndị a ga-arịgokwa nʼahụ gị, na nʼahụ ndị gị, na nʼahụ ndị na-ejere gị ozi.’”
5 The LORD said to Moses, "Tell Aaron your brother, 'Stretch forth your hand with your staff over the rivers, over the streams, and over the pools, and cause frogs to come up on the land of Egypt.'"
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis sị, “Gwa Erọn, ‘Setịpụ aka gị ya na mkpanaka gị nʼelu osimiri niile, na mmiri nta na ọdọ mmiri ndị Ijipt, mee ka awọ jupụta ala Ijipt niile.’”
6 Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt.
Erọn setịpụrụ aka nʼelu mmiri niile nke Ijipt, awọ pụtara kpuchie ala ahụ niile.
7 The magicians did in like manner with their secret arts, and brought up frogs on the land of Egypt.
Ma ndị majiki Ijipt jikwa ihe nzuzo ha mee ihe ahụ Mosis na Erọn mere. Ha mekwara ka awọ jupụta ala ahụ niile.
8 Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, "Pray to the LORD, that he take away the frogs from me, and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may sacrifice to the LORD."
Fero kpọrọ Mosis na Erọn rịọọ ha sị, “Rịọọnụ Onyenwe anyị ka o wepụrụ mụ na ndị m awọ ndị a. Emesịa aga m ekwe ka ndị gị gaa chụọrọ Onyenwe anyị aja.”
9 Moses said to Pharaoh, "I give you the honor of setting the time that I should pray for you, and for your servants, and for your people, that the frogs be destroyed from you and your houses, and remain in the river only."
Mosis zaghachiri Fero sị, “Gị ka ọ dịrị ịgwa m mgbe m ga-arịọ arịrịọ a nʼisi gị na nʼisi ndị gị, ka e wezuga awọ ndị a site nʼụlọ unu, ma hapụ naanị ndị nọ nʼosimiri Naịl.”
10 He said, "Tomorrow." He said, "Be it according to your word, that you may know that there is none like the LORD our God.
Mgbe ahụ Fero sịrị Mosis, “Achọrọ m ka i mee ya echi.” Mosis zaghachiri Fero sị, “Ọ dị mma, ka ọ dịrị dịka i kwuru. Mgbe ahụ, ị ga-amata na o nweghị onye dịka Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị.
11 The frogs shall depart from you, and from your houses, and from your servants, and from your people. They shall remain in the river only."
Awọ ndị a niile ga-apụ site nʼebe ị nọ, na site nʼụlọ gị na site nʼụlọ ndị na-ejere gị ozi na site nʼụlọ ndị Ijipt niile. Ọ bụ naanị nʼosimiri Naịl ka ha ga-anọ.”
12 Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh, and Moses cried to the LORD concerning the frogs which he had brought on Pharaoh.
Mgbe Mosis na Erọn sitere nʼụlọ Fero pụọ, Mosis kpọkuru Onyenwe anyị ka o wepụ awọ ndị a o mere ka ha bịakwasị Fero.
13 The LORD did according to the word of Moses, and the frogs died out of the houses, out of the courts, and out of the fields.
Onyenwe anyị mere ihe Mosis rịọrọ. Awọ ndị ahụ niile nwụrụ nʼime ụlọ, na nʼama, na nʼọhịa.
14 They gathered them together in heaps, and the land stank.
E kpokọtara ozu awọ ndị a niile nʼebe dị iche iche. Isi ọjọọ ha wetara nʼala ahụ dị egwu.
15 But when Pharaoh saw that there was a respite, he hardened his heart, and did not listen to them, as the LORD had spoken.
Ma mgbe Fero hụrụ na awọ ndị a anwụchaala, o mechiri obi ya jụ ige Mosis na Erọn ntị, dịka Onyenwe anyị kwuru na ọ ga-eme.
16 The LORD said to Moses, "Tell Aaron, 'Stretch out your staff, and strike the dust of the earth, that it may become lice throughout all the land of Egypt.'"
Ya mere, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis sị ya, “Gwa Erọn, setịpụ mkpanaka gị, tie nʼaja nke ala nʼala Ijipt niile, aja ya ga-aghọ anwụ nta nke na-ata ata.”
17 They did so; and Aaron stretched out his hand with his staff, and struck the dust of the earth, and there were lice on man, and on animal; all the dust of the earth became lice throughout all the land of Egypt.
Mosis na Erọn mere nke a. Mgbe Erọn setịpụrụ aka tie mkpanaka ya nʼelu ala, anwụ nta jupụtara nʼala Ijipt niile, nʼahụ ndị mmadụ, na nʼahụ anụmanụ ha. Ndanda ndị a jupụtakwara nʼuzuzu niile dị nʼala ahụ.
18 The magicians tried with their secret arts to bring forth lice, but they couldn't. There were lice on man, and on animal.
Ndị Ijipt na-eme majiki gbalịrị iji ihe nzuzo ha mee otu ihe ahụ Erọn mere, ma ha enweghị ike ime ka anwụ nta ọbụla pụta. Ebe ọ bụ na anwụ nta ndị a jupụtara nʼahụ mmadụ na nʼahụ anụmanụ niile.
19 Then the magicians said to Pharaoh, "This is the finger of God:" and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he did not listen to them; as the LORD had spoken.
Naanị ihe ndị na-eme majiki gwara Fero bụ, “Nke a bụ akaọrụ Chineke.” Ma Fero mere ka obi ya sie ike. Ọ chọghị ige, ọ bụladị ndị majiki ya ntị, dịka Onyenwe anyị kwuru na ọ ga-eme.
20 The LORD said to Moses, "Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh; look, he comes forth to the water; and tell him, 'This is what the LORD says, "Let my people go, that they may serve me.
Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis sị ya, “Bilie nʼisi ụtụtụ echi jekwuru Fero. Mgbe ọ ga-aga nʼosimiri, gwa ya okwu sị, ‘Nke a bụ ihe Onyenwe anyị kwuru, Hapụ ndị m ka ha gaa fee m ofufe.
21 Else, if you will not let my people go, look, I will send swarms of flies on you, and on your servants, and on your people, and into your houses: and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of flies, and also the ground whereon they are.
Ọ bụrụ na ị chọghị ime otu a, aga m eme ka igwe ijiji jupụta nʼala Ijipt niile. Ha ga-ejupụta gị nʼahụ na nʼahụ ndị na-ejere gị ozi, na nʼahụ ndị gị niile, na nʼime ụlọ unu niile.
22 I will set apart in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there; to the end you may know that I am the LORD in the midst of the earth.
“‘Nʼụbọchị ahụ, igwe ijiji ndị a agaghị emetụ ndị nọ na Goshen ebe ndị m bi. Mgbe ahụ ka ị ga-amata na mụ bụ Onyenwe anyị bịara ije nʼala a.
23 I will put a division between my people and your people: by tomorrow shall this sign be."'"
Aga m emekwa ka ọ pụta ìhè na o nwere ihe dị iche nʼetiti ndị m na ndị gị. Ihe ịrịbama a ga-emezukwa echi.’”
24 The LORD did so; and there came grievous swarms of flies into the house of Pharaoh, and into his servants' houses: and in all the land of Egypt the land was corrupted by reason of the swarms of flies.
Nʼechi ya, Onyenwe anyị mere dịka o kwuru. Igwe ijiji dị egwu nʼọnụọgụgụ bịara nʼala Ijipt, jupụta nʼụlọ Fero, na nʼụlọ ndị niile na-ejere ya ozi, na nʼala Ijipt niile. E mere ka ala Ijipt bụrụ ihe e ji ijiji mebie.
25 Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, "Go, sacrifice to your God in the land."
Mgbe ihe ndị a na-eme, Fero kpọrọ Mosis na Erọn gwa ha okwu sị, “Gaanụ chụọrọ Chineke unu aja, ma ka ọ bụrụ nʼala Ijipt.”
26 Moses said, "It isn't appropriate to do so; for we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to the LORD our God. Look, shall we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, and won't they stone us?
Mosis zaghachiri Fero sị, “Nke ahụ abụghị ihe ziri ezi, nʼihi na aja anyị na-aga ịchụrụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị bụ ihe rụrụ arụ nʼanya ndị Ijipt. Ọ bụrụ na anyị achụọ aja a nʼihu ha, ha ga-eji nkume tugbuo anyị.
27 We will go three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to the LORD our God, as he shall command us."
Anyị ga-aga njem ụbọchị atọ nʼime ọzara gaa chụọrọ Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị aja, dịka o nyere anyị iwu ka anyị mee.”
28 Pharaoh said, "I will let you go, that you may sacrifice to the LORD your God in the wilderness, only you shall not go very far away. Pray for me."
Fero zaghachiri ha sị, “Aga m ekwenye ka unu ga chụọrọ Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu aja nʼọzara, ma unu agaghị aga ebe dị anya. Ugbu a, kperenụ m ekpere.”
29 Moses said, "Look, I go out from you, and I will pray to God that the swarms of flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people, tomorrow; only do not let Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to the LORD."
Mosis zara Fero sị ya, “Ngwangwa m si nʼihu gị pụọ, aga m arịọ Onyenwe anyị arịrịọ. Echi, a ga-esite nʼụlọ Fero, na nʼụlọ ndị na-ejere ya ozi, na nʼụlọ ndị Ijipt niile wezuga ijiji ndị a. Ọ ga-adị mkpa na Fero ga-elezi anya hapụ ịghọ aghụghọ ọzọ site ịjụ ka ụmụ Izrel gaa chụọrọ Onyenwe anyị aja.”
30 Moses went out from Pharaoh, and prayed to God.
Mgbe ahụ, Mosis sitere nʼihu Fero pụọ rịọọ Onyenwe anyị ka o mee ka ijiji ndị a gabiga.
31 The LORD did according to the word of Moses, and he removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people. There remained not one.
Onyenwe anyị mere dịka Mosis rịọrọ. Ijiji ndị a sitere nʼụlọ Fero na ụlọ ndị na-ejere ya ozi na ụlọ ndị Ijipt niile pụọ. O nwekwaghị ijiji ọ bụla fọdụrụ nʼala ahụ.
32 Pharaoh hardened his heart this time also, and he did not let the people go.
Ma nʼoge a, Fero gara nʼihu ime ka obi ya sie ike. O kweghị ka ụmụ Izrel laa.
