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,
Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses, “Fahla ac utyak nu ye mutal tokosra. Nga oru el ac mwet fulat lal uh in upa nankalos, ngan ku in oru mwenmen inge ye mutalos,
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].”
oayapa tuh kowos in ku in srumun nu sin tulik nutuwos ac tulik nutin tulik nutuwos ke nga tuh oru mwet Egypt uh in oana mwet lalfon ke mwenmen ma nga oru. Na kowos nukewa fah etu lah nga pa LEUM GOD.”
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]
Ouinge Moses ac Aaron som nu yorol tokosra ac fahk nu sel, “LEUM GOD lun mwet Hebrew El fahk, ‘Ac puta kac pacl kom ac tia akpusiselye kom nu sik? Fuhlela mwet luk in som tuh elos in ku in alu nu sik.
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.
Kom fin srangesr na, nga ac use locust puspis nu fin acn sum lutu.
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.
Ac fah arulana pukanten, oru elos ac afunla fin fohk uh nufon. Elos ac fah kangla ma nukewa ma af upa sac tia kunausla, finne sak ma lula.
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.
Elos ac nwakla lohm nukewa inkul sum, ac lohm nukewa sin mwet fulat lom ac mwet nukewa lom. Mwet matu lom nukewa tiana liye ma koluk ouinge emeet me.’” Na Moses el illa som.
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]
Mwet fulat lal tokosra fahk nu sel, “Mwet se inge ac aklokoalokye kut nwe ngac? Tari fuhlela mwet Israel inge in som, elos in ku in alu nu sin LEUM GOD lalos. Ya kom tia liye lah acn Egypt arulana musalla?”
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?”
Na folokinyukme Moses ac Aaron nu yorol tokosra, ac el fahk nu seltal, “Kowos ku in som ac alu nu sin LEUM GOD lowos. Tusruktu su ngac ac som an?”
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.”
Moses el topuk, “Kut nukewa ac som, tulik ac mwet matu wi pac. Kut ac us wen ac acn natusr, sheep ac nani natusr, ac cow natusr, mweyen kut enenu in oru sie kufwa in akfulatye LEUM GOD.”
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].
Tokosra el fahk, “Nga fulahk ke LEUM GOD lah nga fah tiana fuhlela kom in us mutan ac tulik nutuwos! Kalem lah kowos akoo in tuyak lain kut.
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].
Mo, tia ouingan! Mukul mukena ku in som ac alu nu sin LEUM GOD, fin pa ingan ma kowos lungse an.” Ke ma inge, Moses ac Aaron lillilla liki ye mutal tokosra.
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.”
Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses, “Sralak poum nu fin acn Egypt in use locust uh. Elos fah tuku kangla ma nukewa ma kapak, ma tia musalla ke af yohk kosra sac.”
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.
Ouinge Moses el kolak sikal lal ah, ac LEUM GOD El oru sie eng in tuhyak kutulap me, in uk acn we ke len ac fong nufon se. Ke lotutang tok ah, eng uh use locust uh.
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.
Elos rirme afunla fin facl sac nufon. Un locust inge arulana matol liki kutena ma liyeyuk meet me, ku ac fah tia pac liyeyuk tok.
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.
Elos afunla fin fohk uh nwe ke acn uh sroalsroalla kaclos. Elos kangla ma nukewa ma af yohk kosra sac tia kunausla — fokinsak nukewa ulun sak uh wi pac. Tia ma folfolsra se lula ke sak nukewa fin acn Egypt nufon.
16 The king quickly summoned Aaron and Moses/me and said, “I have sinned against Yahweh, your god, and against you [two].
Na tokosra el sulaklak pangnolma Moses ac Aaron ac fahk, “Nga oru ma koluk lain LEUM GOD lowos ac lain kowos.
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.”
Ke ma inge, nunak munas nu sik ke pacl sefanna inge, ac pre nu sin LEUM GOD lowos Elan eisla mwe misa lulap se inge likiyu.”
18 They/We left the king, and Moses/I prayed to Yahweh.
Moses el som lukel tokosra ac pre nu sin LEUM GOD.
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.
Ac LEUM GOD El ekulla eng uh nu ke sie eng na upa roto me, su orani nufon locust uh ac okla nu in Meoa Srusra. Tia siefanna locust lula in facl Egypt nufon.
20 But Yahweh made the king stubborn [IDM] [again], and he did not let the Israeli people go.
Tusruktu LEUM GOD El akupaye nunkal tokosra, ac el tia fuhlela mwet Israel in som.
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].”
Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses, “Sralak poum nu lucng, ac sie lohsr na matoltol fah sunya acn Egypt, sie lohsr ma ku in puleyuk.”
22 So Moses/I reached his/my hand toward the sky, and it became totally dark all over Egypt for three days [and nights].
Moses el sralak paol nu lucng, ac sie lohsr matoltol apneni Egypt nufon ke len tolu.
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.
Mwet Egypt tia ku in liye sie sin sie, ac wangin sie mwet illa liki lohm sel ke pulan pacl sac. A funu mwet Israel, oasr kalem yen elos muta we.
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.”
Tokosra el pangnol Moses ac fahk nu sel, “Kowos ku in som ac alu nu sin LEUM GOD. Mutan ac tulik an ku in wi kowos som. Tusruktu sheep, nani, ac cow nutuwos an ac tia wi.”
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.
Moses el topuk, “Fin ouingan, kom enenu in srukak kosro mwe kisa, ac mwe kisa firir, tuh kut in kisakin nu sin LEUM GOD lasr.
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.”
Mo! Kut ac us na kosro natusr uh wi kut — tia sokofanna ac muta. Kut sifacna pa ac sule kosro ma fal ke pacl kut alu nu sin LEUM GOD lasr. Kut ac tia etu lah kosro fuka kut ac kisakin nu sel nwe ke kut sun acn we.”
27 But Yahweh made the king [continue to be] stubborn [IDM], and he would not let [the Israeli] people go.
LEUM GOD El akupaye nunkal tokosra, ac el tiana fuhlelosla in som.
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!”
El fahk nu sel Moses, “Tiok liki ye mutuk! Taran ngan tia sifilpa liyekomyak. Len se nga ac liye komyak uh, kom ac misa!”
29 Moses/I replied, “You are correct! You will never see me [SYN] again!”
Moses el topuk, “Pwaye sum. Kom ac fah tia sifilpa liyeyu.”
