< Exodus 9 >

1 Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, —then shalt thou say unto him—Thus, saith Yahweh, God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
Yawe alobaki na Moyize: « Kende koyebisa Faraon: ‹ Tala makambo oyo Yawe, Nzambe ya Ba-Ebre, alobi: ‘Tika bato na Ngai kokende kogumbamela Ngai!’
2 But, if, refusing, thou art to let them go, —and still art holding them fast,
Soki oboyi kotika bango kokende mpe okobi kokanga bango,
3 lo! the hand of Yahweh, is coming on thy cattle which are in the field, on the horses, on the asses on the camels, on the herds and on the flocks, —a very grievous pestilence;
loboko na Yawe ekomema mopepe ya bokono ya somo kati na bibwele na yo, oyo ezali na elanga: bampunda, ba-ane, bashamo, bangombe, bameme mpe bantaba.
4 and Yahweh will make a difference between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of the Egyptians, —so that there shall not die from among all that pertaineth to the sons of Israel, a thing!
Kasi Yawe akotia bokeseni kati na bibwele ya bana ya Isalaele mpe ya bato ya Ejipito, pamba te nyama moko te ya bana ya Isalaele ekokufa. › »
5 And Yahweh appointed a set time—saying, To-morrow, will Yahweh do this thing, in the land.
Yawe abongisaki tango mpe alobaki: « Lobi, Yawe akokokisa likambo oyo na mokili. »
6 So Yahweh did this thing, on the morrow, and all the cattle of the Egyptians died, —but of the cattle of the sons of Israel, died not one.
Mpe mokolo oyo elandaki, Yawe akokisaki yango: bibwele nyonso ya bato ya Ejipito ekufaki, kasi ebwele ata moko te ya bana ya Isalaele ekufaki.
7 And Pharaoh sent, and lo! there had not died of the cattle of Israel, so much as one. But Pharaoh’s heart became dull, and he did not let the people go.
Faraon atindaki bato mpo na kolandela likambo oyo mpe bamonaki ete ata ebwele moko te kati na bibwele ya bana ya Isalaele ekufaki. Atako bongo, Faraon ayeisaki lisusu motema na ye makasi mpe aboyaki kaka kotika bato kokende.
8 Then said Yahweh unto Moses and unto Aaron, Take you your hands full of the ashes of an oven, —and Moses shall scatter them towards the heavens, before the eyes of Pharaoh:
Yawe alobaki na Moyize mpe Aron: « Botondisa maboko na bino na putulu oyo ewuti na fulu ya moto makasi, mpe tika ete Moyize abwaka yango likolo, na miso ya Faraon.
9 then shall they become fine dust, over all the land of Egypt, —and shall become on man and on beast, a burning sore, breaking out in pustules in all the land of Egypt.
Yango ekopanzana na mokili mobimba ya Ejipito mpe ekobimisa, kati na Ejipito mobimba, na banzoto ya bato mpe ya bibwele, babibon oyo ekokoma bapota ya kopola. »
10 So they took the ashes of an oven and stood before Pharaoh, and Moses scattered them towards the heavens, —and it came to pass that there was a burning sore in pustules breaking out, among men, and among beasts;
Bazwaki putulu na fulu ya moto mpe batelemaki liboso ya Faraon. Moyize abwakaki yango likolo mpe ebimisaki babibon oyo ekomaki bapota ya kopola na banzoto ya bato mpe ya bibwele.
11 and the sacred scribes could not stand before Moses, because of the burning sore, —for the burning sore had come on the sacred scribes, and on all the Egyptians.
Bato ya soloka bakokaki te kotelema liboso ya Moyize likolo ya bapota oyo ezalaki na banzoto na bango mpe ya bato nyonso ya Ejipito.
12 But Yahweh let the heart of Pharaoh wax bold, and he hearkened not unto them, —as spake Yahweh unto Moses.
Kasi Yawe akomisaki lisusu motema ya Faraon makasi mpe Faraon ayokelaki te Moyize mpe Aron, ndenge kaka Yawe alobaki yango na Moyize.
13 Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Rise thou early in the morning, and station thyself before Pharaoh, —then shalt thou say unto him—Thus, saith Yahweh, God of the Hebrews, Let my people go that they may serve me;
Yawe alobaki na Moyize: « Lamuka na tongo-tongo, kende kokutana na Faraon mpe loba na ye: ‹ Tala makambo oyo Yawe, Nzambe ya Ba-Ebre, alobi: Tika bato na Ngai kokende kogumbamela Ngai.
14 for this time, am I, sending all my plagues unto thy heart, and amongst thy servants and amongst thy people, —to the intent thou mayest get to know, that there is none like me in all the earth.
Ya mbala oyo, nakotinda mopepe na Ngai nyonso ya bokono epai na yo, epai ya bakalaka na yo mpe epai ya bato na yo, mpo oyeba ete moko te azali lokola Ngai, na mokili mobimba.
15 For now, might I have put forth my hand, and smitten thee and thy people with pestilence, —and thou shouldst have secretly disappeared from the earth;
Pamba te kino sik’oyo, nakokaki kosembola loboko na Ngai mpe kotindela yo elongo na bato na yo nyonso, mopepe ya bokono oyo ekokaki kolimwisa bino na mokili.
16 but, in very deed for this purpose, have I let thee remain, for the purpose of showing thee my might, —and that my name may be celebrated in all the earth.
Kasi natikaki yo na bomoi mpo na tina oyo: kotalisa yo nguya na Ngai mpe kosala ete lokumu ya Kombo na Ngai epanzana na mokili mobimba.
17 Even yet, art thou exalting thyself over my people—in not letting them go?
Lokola ozali kokoba koboya kotika bato na Ngai kokende,
18 Behold me! raining down, about this time to-morrow, an exceeding heavy hail, —such as hath not been in Egypt, from the day it was founded, even unto the present time.
lobi na ngonga oyo, nakobetisa mvula ya mabanga ya moto makasi, oyo etikala nanu kobeta te wuta mokili ya Ejipito ezala.
19 Now, therefore, send—bring into safety thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field, —as touching all men and beasts which shall be found in the field and shall not be withdrawn into shelter, the hail shall come down upon them and they shall die.
Sik’oyo, pesa mitindo ete bamema na ebombelo, bibwele na yo mpe biloko nyonso oyo ozali na yango kati na elanga. Pamba te mvula ya mabanga ekokweyela mpe ekoboma moto mpe nyama nyonso oyo bokokotisa kuna te to oyo ekotikala kati na elanga. › »
20 He that feared the word of Yahweh, among the servants of Pharaoh, made his servants and his cattle flee, under shelter:
Kati na basali ya Faraon, ba-oyo babangaki Liloba na Yawe bakotisaki na lombangu bawumbu mpe bibwele na bango kati na bandako.
21 but, whoso applied not his heart unto the word of Yahweh, left his servants and his cattle in the field.
Kasi ba-oyo babangaki te Liloba na Yawe, batikaki bawumbu mpe bibwele na bango kati na elanga.
22 Then said Yahweh unto Moses—Stretch forth thy hand over the heavens, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, —on man and on beast, and on every herb of the field in the land of Egypt.
Yawe alobaki na Moyize: « Sembola loboko na yo na likolo mpo ete mvula ya mabanga enoka na mokili mobimba ya Ejipito: likolo ya bato, ya bibwele mpe ya matiti nyonso oyo ebotaka na elanga kati na Ejipito. »
23 So Moses stretched forth his staff over the heavens, and, Yahweh, gave forth thunderings and hail, and there came fire towards the earth, —and Yahweh rained down hail, on the land of Egypt.
Tango Moyize asembolaki lingenda na ye na likolo, Yawe abetisaki bakake mpe mvula ya mabanga. Bakake ebetaki na mokili. Bongo Yawe anokisaki mvula ya mabanga na mokili ya Ejipito.
24 So there came to be hail, and fire catching hold of itself, in the midst of the hail, —exceeding heavy, such as had not been in all the land of Egypt, from the very time it became a nation.
Boye mvula ya mabanga mpe bakake ebetaki. Ezalaki mvula moko ya makasi penza oyo etikala nanu kobeta te wuta Ejipito ekoma ekolo.
25 And the hail smote in all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and beast, —and every herb of the field, did the hail smite, and every tree of the field, did it shiver.
Ebomaki, kati na Ejipito, nyonso oyo ezalaki kati na elanga, ezala bato to bibwele; ebebisaki matiti nyonso ya elanga mpe ebukaki banzete nyonso.
26 Only in the land of Goshen, where were the sons of Israel, was there no hail.
Kasi enokaki te kati na etuka ya Gosheni epai wapi bana ya Isalaele bazalaki.
27 Then sent Pharaoh, and called for Moses and for Aaron, and said unto them—I have sinned this time, —Yahweh, is the righteous one, and, I and my people, are the wrong-doers.
Faraon abengisaki Moyize mpe Aron, alobaki na bango: — Ya mbala oyo, nasali lisumu. Yawe azali sembo; ngai mpe bato na ngai tosali mabe.
28 Make ye request unto Yahweh, and it shall be enough without there being any more thunderings of God, and hail, —and I must a let you go, and not again shall ye delay.
Bobondela Yawe mpo ete asilisa mvula ya mabanga mpe bakake. Bongo ngai nakotika bino kokende, mpe bino bokowumela lisusu awa te.
29 And Moses said unto him, As soon as I am gone out of the city, will I spread out my hands unto Yahweh, —the thunderings, shall cease, and, the hail, shall come no more, —that thou mayest know, that to Yahweh, belongeth the earth.
Moyize azongisaki: — Tango nakobima na engumba, nakotombola maboko na ngai mpo na kobondela Yawe. Bakake ekosila mpe mvula ya mabanga ekonoka lisusu te, mpo ete oyeba ete mokili ezali ya Yawe.
30 But as touching thee and thy servants, I know that not yet will ye stand in awe of Yahweh Elohim.
Kasi nayebi ete, yo elongo na bakalaka na yo, bokobanga na bino kaka Yawe Nzambe te.
31 Now, the flax and the barley, were smitten, —for the barley, was in the ear, and, the flax, was in flower;
Lino mpe Orje ebebaki, pamba te lino ebimisaki mito mpe Orje ebimisaki bafololo.
32 but the wheat and the spelt, were not smitten, —for they were, not ripe.
Ble mpe epotele ebebaki te, pamba te tango na yango ya kobota ekokaki nanu te.
33 So Moses went away from Pharaoh out of the city, and spread out his hands unto Yahweh, —then did the thunderings and the hail cease, and, rain, was not poured out on the earth.
Bongo Moyize atikaki Faraon mpe abimaki libanda ya engumba. Atombolaki maboko na ye epai na Yawe; boye bakake mpe mvula ya mabanga etikaki kobeta, mpe mvula esilaki kati na Ejipito.
34 And when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunderings had ceased, he again sinned, —and made his heart dull, he, and his servants.
Tango Faraon amonaki ete mvula ya mabanga mpe bakake etiki kobeta, asalaki lisusu lisumu. Ye mpe bakalaka na ye bayeisaki lisusu mitema na bango makasi.
35 And the heart of Pharaoh waxed bold, and he did not let the sons of Israel go, —as spake Yahweh by the hand of Moses.
Boye motema ya Faraon ekomaki penza makasi mpe aboyaki kotika bana ya Isalaele kokende, ndenge kaka Yawe alobaki na nzela ya Moyize.
