Exodus 10
1 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Go to the king [again]. I have made him and his officials stubborn [IDM]. I have done that in order that I would [have a good reason to] perform all these plagues among them,
Seyè a di Moyiz ankò: -Ale bò kot farawon an. Se mwen menm ki fè l' gen tèt di, li menm ansanm ak moun pa l' yo, pou m' fè yo wè mèvèy mwen ka fè nan mitan yo.
2 and also in order that you would [be able to] tell your children and your grandchildren how I caused the Egyptians to act very foolishly [when] I performed all these miracles. Then all of you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
Konsa tou, n'a rakonte pitit nou yo ak pitit pitit nou yo sa mwen te fè moun peyi Lejip yo pase ak kalite mèvèy mwen te fè nan mitan yo. Lè sa a nou tout n'a konnen se mwen menm menm ki Seyè a.
3 So Aaron and Moses/I went into the king’s [palace] and said to him, “Yahweh God, whom we Hebrews [worship], says this: ‘How long will you stubbornly refuse to do what I tell you [MTY]? Let my people go, in order that they may worship me [in the desert]
Se konsa Moyiz ak Arawon ale bò kote farawon an. Yo di l': -Men sa Seyè a, Bondye pèp ebre a, voye di ou: Kilè w'a aprann soumèt tèt ou devan mwen? Kite pèp mwen an ale pou l' ka fè yon sèvis pou mwen.
4 If you [keep] refusing to let them go, I warn you that tomorrow I will bring (locusts/[large flying insects called] locusts) into your country.
Si ou refize kite pèp mwen an ale, men sa m' pral fè: Denmen, mwen pral voye krikèt vèt sou tout peyi a.
5 [They will completely cover the ground so that] you will not even be able to see the ground. They will eat everything that the hail did not [destroy]. They will eat [everything that is left on] the trees.
Yo pral kouvri tout tè a, jouk moun p'ap ka wè tè a ankò. Yo pral devore ti rès lagrèl te kite pou nou an. y'a devore tout pyebwa ki nan jaden nou yo.
6 They will fill your houses, and the houses of all your officials, and the houses of all [the rest of] the Egyptians. [There will be more locusts] than you or your parents or your grandparents have ever seen, from the time your ancestors first came to [this] land until the present time!’” Then he/I turned and [Aaron and] I left the king.
Y'ap anvayi tout kay ou yo, kay tout moun pa ou yo ak kay tout moun nan peyi a. Se bagay granpapa nou yo ak zansèt nou yo pa t' janm wè depi yo fèt jouk jounen jòdi a. Apre sa, Moyiz vire do l', li soti kay farawon an.
7 The king’s officials said to him, “(How long is this man going to continue to bring disasters on us?/We must not let this man continue to cause trouble for us!) [RHQ] Let the [Israeli] men leave, in order that they may worship Yahweh, their god. (Do you not yet understand that [this man] has ruined Egypt?/You ought to realize by now that [this man] has ruined Egypt!)” [RHQ]
Moun pa farawon yo vin di l': -Kilè nonm sa a va sispann ban nou pwoblèm? Kite moun yo ale non. Kite yo al fè sèvis pou Bondye yo a. Ou pa wè jan peyi Lejip la ap fini!
8 So they brought Aaron and Moses/me back to the king. He said to them/us, “[All right], you can go and worship Yahweh your god. But who are the ones who will go?”
Se konsa yo fè Moyiz ak Arawon tounen vin kote farawon an. Farawon an di yo: -Nou mèt al fè sèvis pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an. Kilès ki prale?
9 Moses/I replied, “We [all] need to go, everyone, including those who are young and those who are old. We need to take our sons and our daughters and our flocks [of sheep and goats] and herds [of livestock], because we must have a festival to [honor] Yahweh.”
Moyiz reponn li: -Nou prale ak tout timoun yo, ak tout granmoun yo, ak tout pitit gason nou yo, ak tout pitit fi nou yo ansanm ak bèf, mouton ak kabrit nou yo, paske se yon gwo sèvis pou n' fè pou Seyè a.
10 [Moses/I really did not intend that the Israelis would ever return to Egypt, and the king knew that also. So] the king replied [sarcastically], “[If you all leave], [it will be clear that] Yahweh has helped you, but I myself will never let you [take] your children [and your wives] when you go! It is clear that you are wickedly planning [not to return].
Farawon an di yo: -Gade jan nou gen move lide dèyè tèt nou! Mwen ta swete pou Seyè a ede nou vre! Men, mwen p'ap kite nou ale ansanm ak timoun yo.
11 So no, [I will not let you all go]. [The Israeli] men may go [and worship Yahweh], if that is what you want.” Then the king expelled them/us from [his palace].
Non. Sa p'ap pase konsa. Se nou menm gason yo ase ki mèt ale pou fè sèvis pou Seyè a. Se pa sa nou te mande? Lè l' fin di yo sa, li fè mete yo deyò lakay li.
12 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Reach out your hand as [though you were stretching it] over the land to welcome the locusts. They will come to the country of Egypt and eat every plant that is [left] in the land, every plant that the hail has not destroyed.”
Seyè a di Moyiz: -Lonje men ou sou peyi Lejip la pou fè krikèt yo vini sou li. Y'ap vini, y'ap devore tout fèy bwa nan peyi a. Wi, y'a devore tou sa lagrèl te kite.
13 So Moses/I held out his/my stick [as though he/I was stretching it] over the whole land of Egypt. Then Yahweh caused a [strong] wind to blow from the east, and it blew over the land all that day and all that night. By the [next] morning, it had brought the locusts.
Moyiz lonje baton l' lan sou peyi Lejip la. Seyè a fè yon van nòde soufle sou peyi a. Van an soufle tout yon jounen ak tout yon nwit. Nan maten, van an pote krikèt vèt yo vini.
14 The locusts swarmed all over Egypt. It was larger than any swarm of locusts that had ever [been seen], and there will never be [a swarm of locusts like that] again.
Krikèt yo tonbe sou peyi Lejip la, yo poze toupatou nan peyi a. Moun pa t' janm wè kantite krikèt konsa, epi se bagay yo p'ap janm wè ankò.
15 They covered the surface of the ground and made it [appear] black. They ate all the plants in the land and everything on the trees that had not been destroyed by the hail. Nothing that was green was left on any plant or on any tree, anywhere in Egypt.
Krikèt yo kouvri tè a nèt. Tè a vin tou nwa ak krikèt. Krikèt yo manje tou sak t'ap pouse nan peyi a, tout fwi ki te nan pyebwa yo, tou sa lagrèl te kite. pa t' rete yon ti fèy vèt nan pyebwa yo ankò nan tout peyi Lejip la. Tout jaden te pèdi nèt.
16 The king quickly summoned Aaron and Moses/me and said, “I have sinned against Yahweh, your god, and against you [two].
Lè sa a, farawon an prese fè rele Moyiz ak Arawon, li di yo: -Mwen peche kont Seyè a, Bondye nou an, mwen peche kont nou menm tou.
17 So now I ask you to forgive me this one time [for having] sinned, and pray to Yahweh your god to stop [these locusts] [MTY] [from causing everything] to die.”
Tanpri, padonnen peche m' fwa sa a. Lapriyè Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ankò pou l' wete chatiman sa a sou mwen. Se touye chatiman sa a ap touye m'!
18 They/We left the king, and Moses/I prayed to Yahweh.
Moyiz soti kay farawon an. Li lapriyè Seyè a.
19 Then Yahweh changed the wind so that it blew [strongly] from the west, and it blew all the locusts into the Red Sea (OR, the Gulf of Suez). There was not one locust left anywhere in the country of Egypt.
Seyè a fè yon gwo van lwès soufle fwa sa a. Van an pote tout krikèt yo al jete nan lanmè Wouj la. Pat rete yon sèl grenn krikèt nan tout peyi Lejip la.
20 But Yahweh made the king stubborn [IDM] [again], and he did not let the Israeli people go.
Men Seyè a fè farawon an fè tèt di ankò. Farawon an pa kite moun pèp Izrayèl yo ale.
21 Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Reach your hand up toward the sky, in order that there will be darkness over all the land of Egypt, a darkness [so complete] that people will have to grope around [to know where to walk].”
Seyè a di Moyiz ankò: -Lonje men ou anlè pou fènwa kouvri peyi Lejip la, yon fènwa sitèlman pwès moun ta ka santi li anba men yo.
22 So Moses/I reached his/my hand toward the sky, and it became totally dark all over Egypt for three days [and nights].
Moyiz leve men li anlè, epi yon fènwa byen pwès desann kouvri tout peyi Lejip la pandan twa jou.
23 People could not see each other. No one left his house during that whole time. But there was light in the area where the Israeli people were living.
Moun peyi Lejip yo fè twa jou yonn pa t' ka wè lòt, pesonn pa mete tèt deyò. Men, te gen klète kote moun pèp Izrayèl yo te rete a.
24 The king summoned Moses/me and said, “All right, you may go and worship Yahweh. [Your wives and] your children may go with you. But your flocks of sheep and goats and your herds of cattle must remain here.”
Farawon an fè rele Moyiz, li di l' konsa: -Nou mèt ale fè sèvis pou Seyè a. Nou mèt ale ak timoun nou yo. Men mouton nou yo, kabrit nou yo ak bèf nou yo ap rete isit la.
25 But Moses/I replied, “[No], you must let us [take along the sheep and goats, in order] that we may have [some of them] to sacrifice and give as burned offerings to Yahweh, our God.
Moyiz reponn li: -Bon, lè sa a, se ou menm ki pral ban nou bèt pou nou touye pou nou boule pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an?
26 Our livestock must also go with us; we are not going to leave one of them [SYN] behind. We must take them to worship Yahweh. We will not know [which animals to sacrifice] until we get to where we are going.”
Tout bèt nou fèt pou ale ak nou. Nou p'ap kite yonn dèyè. Paske, se ladan yo pou nou pran sa nou bezwen pou fè sèvis pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an. Tout tan nou pa rive, nou poko konnen kisa nou pral chwazi pou ofri bay Seyè a.
27 But Yahweh made the king [continue to be] stubborn [IDM], and he would not let [the Israeli] people go.
Men Seyè a fè farawon an fè tèt di pi rèd toujou. Farawon an pa t' vle kite yo ale.
28 The king said to me, “Get out of here! Make sure that you never come to see me [SYN] again! The day you see me again, [I will have] you executed!”
Farawon an di Moyiz konsa: -Wete kò ou devan m'. Gade! Pa janm parèt devan m' ankò, paske jou ou ta parèt devan m' ankò, m'ap disparèt ou.
29 Moses/I replied, “You are correct! You will never see me [SYN] again!”
Moyiz reponn li: -Jan ou vle! Mwen p'ap janm parèt devan ou ankò.
