< Exodus 10 >
1 Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, —for, I, have suffered his heart to be dull and the heart of his servants, that I may show these my signs, in their midst;
Yawe alobaki na Moyize: « Kende epai ya Faraon, pamba te nakomisi motema na ye mpe ya bakalaka na ye makasi, mpo ete nasala bilembo na Ngai ya kokamwa kati na bango,
2 and that thou mayest recount in the ears of thy son and thy sons’ son, what I did in derision of the Egyptians, and my signs which I displayed among them, —so shall ye know that I, am Yahweh.
mpe ete oyebisa bana na yo mpe bakoko na yo makambo oyo nasalaki na Ejipito mpe bilembo ya kokamwa oyo nasalaki kati na bango. Bongo bokoyeba ete Ngai nazali Yawe. »
3 And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and said unto him—Thus, saith Yahweh, God of the Hebrews, How long hast thou refused to humble thyself before me? Let my people go that they may serve me.
Boye Moyize mpe Aron bakendeki epai ya Faraon mpe balobaki na ye: « Tala makambo oyo Yawe, Nzambe ya Ba-Ebre, alobi: ‹ Kino tango nini okoboya komikitisa liboso na Ngai? Tika bato na Ngai kokende kogumbamela Ngai.
4 But if, refusing, thou art to let my people go, behold me bringing in tomorrow a locust within thy bounds;
Soki oboyi kotika bango kokende, lobi nakotinda mabanki na mokili na yo.
5 and it shall cover the eye of the land, so that one shall not be able to see the land, —and it shall eat the residue that hath escaped, that is left you from the hail, and shall eat up all the trees that sprout for you out of the field;
Ekotondisa mokili ya Ejipito na ndenge ete mabele ekomonana lisusu te. Mabanki yango ekolia mwa biloko moke oyo mvula ya mabanga etikaki; ekolia mpe banzete na bino nyonso oyo ezali kokola kati na bilanga.
6 and they shall fill thy houses, and the houses of all thy servants and the houses of all the Egyptians, such as thy fathers and thy fathers’ fathers have never seen, from the day they came to be on the ground, until this day. And he turned away, and came out from the presence of Pharaoh.
Ekotonda na bandako na yo, ya bakalaka na yo mpe ya bato nyonso ya Ejipito; ezala batata na yo to bakoko na yo batikala nanu komona te likambo ya boye wuta bazala na mokili oyo kino lelo. › » Moyize abalukaki mpe atikaki ndako ya Faraon.
7 Then said the servants of Pharaoh unto him, How long shall this [man] become to us a snare? Let the men go, that they may serve Yahweh their God. Not yet, knowest thou, that Egypt is, ruined?
Bakalaka ya Faraon balobaki na ye: — Kino tango nini moto oyo akozala motambo mpo na biso? Tika bango bakende kogumbamela Yawe, Nzambe na bango. Ozali komona te ete Ejipito ebebi?
8 So Moses and Aaron were brought back unto pharaoh, and he said unto them—Go, serve Yahweh your God, —who, are they that are going?
Bongo bazongisaki Moyize mpe Aron epai ya Faraon; mpe Faraon alobaki na bango: — Bokende kogumbamela Yawe, Nzambe na bino. Kasi banani oyo bakokende?
9 And Moses said, With our young and with our old, will we go, —with our sons and with our daughters with our flocks and with our herds, will we go, —for, the festival of Yahweh, is ours.
Moyize azongisaki: — Tokokende elongo na bilenge na biso, bampaka na biso, bana na biso ya mibali mpe ya basi, bameme na biso, bantaba na biso mpe bangombe na biso; pamba te tokosala feti mpo na lokumu ya Yawe.
10 Then he said unto them: Let Yahweh, so, be with you, when I let go you and your little ones! Look out for, harm, is straight before your faces.
Faraon alobaki na bango: — Soki nakotika bino kokende elongo na bana na bino, wana tika ete Yawe azala elongo na bino! Nzokande emonani solo ete bozali na makanisi mabe.
11 Not so! Go, I pray you, ye grown men and serve Yahweh, for, that, is what, ye, were seeking. And they were driven out from the presence of Pharaoh.
Ekosalema bongo te! Kaka mibali nde bakokende kogumbamela Yawe, pamba te yango nde likambo oyo bozali kosenga ngai. Boye babenganaki Moyize mpe Aron liboso ya Faraon.
12 Then said Yahweh unto Moses—Stretch forth thy hand over the land of Egypt for the locust, that it may come up over the land of Egypt, —and may eat up every herb of the land, all that the hail hath left.
Yawe alobaki na Moyize: — Sembola loboko na yo na mokili ya Ejipito mpo ete obimisa mabanki kati na mokili yango mpe mabanki yango elia matiti nyonso ya bilanga, biloko nyonso oyo mvula ya mabanga ebebisaki te.
13 And Moses stretched forth his staff over the land of Egypt, and, Yahweh, caused an east wind to drive through the land, all that day, and all the night, —when the morning, had come, the east wind, had brought the locust.
Boye Moyize asembolaki lingenda na ye na mokili ya Ejipito mpe Yawe atindaki mopepe ya este mokolo mobimba mpe butu mobimba. Mpe tango tongo etanaki, mopepe yango eyaki na mabanki.
14 And the locust came up over all the land of Egypt, and settled in all the bounds of Egypt, —very grievous, before it, had not been such a locust as that, neither after it, should be one like it.
Mabanki ekotaki kati na Ejipito nyonso mpe evandaki ebele na bisika nyonso ya Ejipito. Etumbu ya mabanki ya ndenge wana etikala nanu kozala te mpe ekotikala kozala lisusu te.
15 So it covered the eye of all the land and the land was darkened, and it did eat every herb of the land and all the fruit of the trees, which the hail had left remaining, —so that there was not left remaining any green sprout in the trees or in the herb of the field in all the land of Egypt.
Ezipaki mabele nyonso mpe mabele eyindaki. Eliaki nyonso oyo mvula ya mabanga ebebisaki te: matiti nyonso ya bilanga mpe bambuma nyonso ya banzete. Kati na mokili mobimba ya Ejipito, eloko moko te ya mobesu etikalaki na banzete to na matiti ya bilanga.
16 Then hastened Pharaoh, to call for Moses and for Aaron, —and said—I have sinned against Yahweh your God, and against you.
Faraon abengisaki Moyize mpe Aron na lombangu, alobaki: — Nasali lisumu epai na Yawe, Nzambe na bino, mpe epai na bino.
17 Now, therefore, forgive I pray you my sin—only this time, and make entreaty to Yahweh your God, —that he may take away from me, at least, this death.
Sik’oyo lisusu, bolimbisa lisumu na ngai. Bobondela Yawe, Nzambe na bino, mpo ete alongola etumbu oyo ya kufa kati na ngai.
18 So he came out from Pharaoh, —and made entreaty unto Yahweh;
Moyize atikaki Faraon mpe abondelaki Yawe.
19 and Yahweh turned back a west wind strong exceedingly, and carried away the locust and cast it into the Red Sea, —there was not left a single locust in all the bounds of Egypt.
Bongo Yawe akomisaki mopepe ya este ekumbaki moko ya weste oyo ememaki mabanki mpe ebwakaki yango na ebale monene ya Barozo. Ata libanki moko te etikalaki na bisika nyonso ya Ejipito.
20 But Yahweh suffered the heart of Pharaoh to wax bold, —and he did not let the sons of Israel go.
Kasi Yawe akomisaki lisusu motema ya Faraon makasi mpe Faraon aboyaki kotika bana ya Isalaele kokende.
21 Then said Yahweh unto Moses: Stretch forth thy hand over the heavens, that there may be darkness, over the land of Egypt, —and that one may feel the darkness.
Yawe alobaki na Moyize: — Sembola loboko na yo likolo mpo ete molili epanzana na mokili ya Ejipito, molili oyo ekosala ete bato batambola na kosimbasimba.
22 So Moses stretched forth his hand over the heavens, —and there was thick darkness in all the land of Egypt for three days;
Boye Moyize asembolaki loboko na ye likolo mpe molili makasi ezipaki mokili mobimba ya Ejipito mikolo misato.
23 they saw not one another neither rose any man from his couch for three days, —but all the sons of Israel, had light in their dwellings.
Na mikolo misato yango, moto moko te akokaki komona moto mosusu mpe kolongwa na esika oyo azali mpo na kokende na esika mosusu. Nzokande pole ezalaki na bisika nyonso oyo bana ya Isalaele bazalaki kovanda.
24 Then Pharaoh called out unto Moses and said—Go serve Yahweh, only, your flocks and your herds, shall be left, —even your little ones shall go with you.
Faraon abengisaki Moyize mpe alobaki: — Bokende kogumbamela Yawe; bokende bino nyonso nzela moko, ezala basi mpe bana na bino. Kasi botika kaka bangombe, bameme mpe bantaba na bino.
25 And Moses said, Even thou thyself, shalt give into our hands sacrifices and ascending-offerings, —so shall we present offerings to Yahweh our God.
Kasi Moyize alobaki: — Okopesa biso mbeka mpe makabo ya kotumba oyo tokobonzela Yawe, Nzambe na biso.
26 Moreover also, our own cattle, shall go with us—there shall not be left behind, a hoof, for thereof, must we take, to serve Yahweh our God, —even we ourselves, cannot know wherewith we must serve Yahweh, until we have come in thither.
Bitonga na biso ya bibwele mpe ekokende nzela moko na biso; ata linzaka moko te ya ebwele ekotikala. Pamba te ezali kati na bibwele yango nde tokopona oyo tokobonzela Yawe, Nzambe na biso; mpe wana tokomi nanu kuna te, toyebi te ebwele nini tokobonza mpo na kogumbamela Yawe.
27 And Yahweh let the heart of Pharaoh wax bold, —and he was not willing to let them go.
Kasi Yawe akomisaki lisusu motema ya Faraon makasi; mpe Faraon aboyaki kaka kotika bango kokende.
28 So Pharaoh said to him—Get thee from me, —take heed to thyself—do not any more! see my face, for in the day thou dost see my face, thou shalt die.
Faraon alobaki na Moyize: — Longwa liboso na ngai mpe keba na yo! Koya lisusu liboso na ngai te! Mokolo oyo okoya lisusu liboso na ngai, okokufa.
29 And Moses said—Well hast thou spoken, —no more again to see thy face.
Moyize azongisaki: — Ndenge kaka olobi, nakotikala koya lisusu liboso na yo te!
