< Exodus 10 >

1 YHWH said to Moses, "Go in to Pharaoh, for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I may show these my signs in the midst of them,
Kenaka Yehova anati kwa Mose, “Pita kwa Farao, pakuti Ine ndawumitsa mtima wake ndi mitima ya nduna zake kuti ndichite zizindikiro zozizwitsa pakati pawo
2 and that you may tell in the hearing of your son, and of your son's son, what things I have done to Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; that you may know that I am YHWH."
kuti inu mudzawuze ana ndi zidzukulu zanu za mmene ndinawakhawulitsira Aigupto ndi zizindikiro zozizwitsa zimene ndinachita pakati pawo ndiponso kuti inu mudziwe kuti ine ndine Yehova.”
3 Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and said to him, "This is what YHWH, the God of the Hebrews, says: 'How long will you refuse to humble yourself before me? Let my people go, that they may serve me.
Ndipo Mose ndi Aaroni anapita kwa Farao ndi kukanena kuti, “Yehova Mulungu wa Ahebri, akuti: ‘Kodi udzakanabe kudzichepetsa pamaso panga mpaka liti? Alole anthu anga apite kuti akandipembedze.
4 Or else, if you refuse to let my people go, look, tomorrow I will bring locusts into your country,
Ngati ukana kuwalola, ndigwetsa dzombe mʼdziko lako lino mawa.
5 and they shall cover the surface of the earth, so that one won't be able to see the earth. They shall eat the residue of that which has escaped, which remains to you from the hail, and shall eat every tree which grows for you out of the field.
Dzombeli lidzakuta nthaka yonse moti sidzaoneka konse. Lidzadya kalikonse kakangʼono kamene sikanawonongedwe ndi matalala aja, kuphatikizapo mitengo yonse imene ikumera mʼminda yanu.
6 Your houses shall be filled, and the houses of all your servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians; as neither your fathers nor your fathers' fathers have seen, since the day that they were on the earth to this day.'" He turned, and went out from Pharaoh.
Dzombeli lidzadzaza nyumba zako ndi za nduna zako ndiponso za Aigupto onse, chinthu chimene ngakhale makolo anu kapena makolo awo sanachionepo kuyambira tsiku limene anakhala mʼdzikoli mpaka lero.’” Ndipo Mose ndi Aaroni anatembenuka ndi kumusiya Farao.
7 Pharaoh's servants said to him, "How long will this man be a snare to us? Let the men go, that they may serve their God. Do you not yet know that Egypt is destroyed?"
Nduna za Farao zinamufunsa kuti, “Kodi munthu uyu adzativutitsa mpaka liti? Aloleni anthuwa apite, kuti akapembedze Yehova Mulungu wawo. Kodi simukuona kuti dziko la Igupto lawonongeka?”
8 Moses and Aaron were brought again to Pharaoh, and he said to them, "Go, serve your God; but who are those who will go?"
Choncho Mose ndi Aaroni anayitanidwanso kwa Farao ndipo anati, “Pitani kapembedzeni Yehova Mulungu wanu. Koma ndani amene adzapite?”
9 Moses said, "We will go with our young and with our old; with our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our herds will we go; for we must hold a feast to YHWH."
Mose anayankha kuti, “Ife tidzapita tonse pamodzi; angʼonoangʼono ndi akuluakulu, ana athu aamuna ndi aakazi, ndiponso ziweto zathu ndi ngʼombe chifukwa tikakhala ndi chikondwerero cha kwa Yehova.”
10 He said to them, "YHWH be with you if I will let you go with your dependents. See, evil is clearly before your faces.
Farao anati, “Yehova akhale ndi inu ngati ndingakuloleni kupita pamodzi ndi akazi ndi ana anu! Zikuoneka kuti mwakonzeka kuchita choyipa.
11 Not so. Go now you who are men, and serve God; for that is what you desire." They were driven out from Pharaoh's presence.
Ndakana! Amuna okha ndiwo apite ndi kukapembedza Yehova pakuti izi ndi zimene mwakhala mukupempha.” Kenaka Mose ndi Aaroni anathamangitsidwa pamaso pa Farao.
12 YHWH said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up on the land of Egypt and eat every plant of the land, even all that the hail has left."
Ndipo Yehova anati kwa Mose, “Tambalitsa dzanja lako pa dziko la Igupto kuti dzombe lidze pa dziko la Igupto ndi kuwononga chilichonse chimene chikumera mʼminda ndi chilichonse chimene chinatsala pa nthawi ya matalala.”
13 Moses stretched forth his staff over the land of Egypt, and YHWH brought an east wind on the land all that day, and all the night; and when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts.
Kotero Mose anakweza ndodo yake pa dziko la Igupto, ndipo Yehova anawutsa mphepo ya kummawa imene inawomba pa dziko usana ndi usiku wonse. Mmene kumacha nʼkuti mphepoyo itabweretsa dzombe.
14 The locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested in all the borders of Egypt. They were very grievous. Before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after them shall be such.
Dzombelo linafika pa dziko lonse la Igupto ndi kukhala dera lililonse la dzikolo. Dzombe lambiri ngati limenelo silinakhaleponso nʼkale lonse ndipo silidzakhalapo ngakhale mʼtsogolo.
15 For they covered the surface of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened, and they ate every plant of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left. There remained nothing green, either tree or plant of the field, through all the land of Egypt.
Dzombelo linaphimba nthaka yonse mpaka kuoneka kuti bii. Linadya zonse zimene zinatsala nthawi ya matalala, zomera za mʼmunda ndi zipatso. Panalibe chobiriwira chilichonse chimene chinatsala pa mtengo kapena pa chomera chilichonse mʼdziko lonse la Igupto.
16 Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste, and he said, "I have sinned against YHWH your God, and against you.
Mwamsangamsanga, Farao anayitanitsa Mose ndi Aaroni ndipo anati, “Ine ndachimwira Yehova Mulungu wanu ndiponso inu.
17 Now therefore please forgive my sin again, and pray to YHWH your God, that he may also take away from me this death."
Tsopano ndikhululukirenso tchimo langa kano konkha ndipo pempherani kwa Yehova Mulungu wanu kuti andichotsere mliri wosakazawu.”
18 He went out from Pharaoh, and prayed to God.
Mose anachoka kwa Farao nakapemphera kwa Yehova.
19 YHWH turned an exceeding strong west wind, which took up the locusts, and drove them into the Red Sea. There remained not one locust in all the borders of Egypt.
Ndipo Yehova anasintha mphepo ija kuti ikhale ya mphamvu yochokera ku madzulo, ndipo inanyamula dzombe lija nʼkulikankhira mʼNyanja Yofiira. Panalibe dzombe ndi limodzi lomwe limene linatsala mu Igupto.
20 But YHWH hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he did not let the children of Israel go.
Koma Yehova anawumitsa mtima wa Farao, ndipo sanalole kuti Aisraeli apite.
21 YHWH said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand toward the sky, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt."
Kenaka Yehova anati kwa Mose, “Tambasulira dzanja lako kumwamba kuti kukhale mdima umene udzaphimba dziko lonse la Igupto, mdima wandiweyani.”
22 Moses stretched forth his hand toward the sky, and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days.
Choncho Mose anakweza dzanja lake kumwamba ndipo mdima wandiweyani unaphimba dziko lonse la Igupto kwa masiku atatu.
23 They did not see one another, neither did anyone rise from his place for three days; but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.
Palibe amene anatha kuona mnzake kapena kuchoka pa khomo pake kwa masiku atatu. Koma kumalo kumene kumakhala Aisraeli kunali kowala.
24 Then Pharaoh called to Moses and to Aaron and said, "Go, serve YHWH. Only let your flocks and your herds stay behind. Let your dependents also go with you."
Kenaka Farao anayitanitsa Mose ndi Aaroni nati, “Pitani kapembedzeni Yehova. Ngakhale akazi ndi ana anu apite pamodzi ndi inu. Koma musatenge ziweto zanu ndi ngʼombe zanu.”
25 Moses said, "You must also give into our hand sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice to YHWH our God.
Koma Mose anati, “Ndiye inu mutipatse nsembe zopsereza zoti tikapereke kwa Yehova Mulungu wathu.
26 Our livestock must also go with us; not a hoof is left behind, for of it we must take to serve YHWH our God; and we do not know with what we must serve YHWH, until we come there."
Koma ayi, ife tipita ndi ziweto zathu. Palibe chiweto chilichonse chimene chitatsale kuno, popeza tikasankha komweko ziweto zokapembedzera Yehova. Sitingadziwe zimene tikagwiritse ntchito popembedza Yehova mpaka titakafika kumeneko.”
27 But YHWH hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he wouldn't let them go.
Koma Yehova anawumitsa mtima wa Farao ndipo sanafune kuwalola kuti apite.
28 Pharaoh said to him, "Get away from me. Make sure you never see my face again; for in the day you see my face you shall die."
Farao anati kwa Mose, “Choka pamaso panga! Uwonetsetse kuti usadzaonekerenso pamaso panga! Tsiku limene ndidzakuonenso udzafa.”
29 Moses said, "You have spoken well. I will not see your face again."
Mose anayankha kuti, “Monga momwe mwaneneramu, Ine sindidzaonekeranso pamaso panu.”
