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,
Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Mankanesa ao amin’ i Farao; fa Izaho efa nanamafy ny fony sy ny fon’ ny mpanompony, mba hanehoako izao famantarako izao eo aminy;
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].”
ary mba holazainao ho ren’ ny zanakao sy ny zafinao izay zavatra nataoko teto Egypta sy izay famantarana nataoko teo aminy, mba ho fantatrareo fa Izaho no Jehovah.
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]
Ary Mosesy sy Arona dia nankao amin’ i Farao ka nanao taminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Hebreo: Mandrapahoviana no handavanao tsy hanetry tena eo anatrehako? alefaso ny oloko mba hanompo Ahy.
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.
Fa raha mandà ka tsy mandefa ny oloko ianao, indro, hahatonga valala amin’ ny taninao rehetra Aho rahampitso;
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.
dia handrakotra ny tany rehetra ireny, ka tsy ho hita ny tany; dia hohaniny ny sisan’ ny havandra, izay navela ho anareo, ka hohaniny avokoa ny hazo rehetra izay maniry ho anareo any an-tsaha;
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.
dia hameno ny tranonao sy ny tranon’ ny mpanomponao rehetra ary ny tranon’ ny Egyptiana rehetra ireny; ary tsy mbola hitan’ ny rainao na ny raibenao izay toy izay hatr’ izay andro niainany tetỳ ambonin’ ny tany ka mandraka androany. Dia nihodina izy ka niala teo amin’ i Farao.
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]
Ary hoy ny mpanompon’ i Farao taminy: Mandra-pahoviana no ho fandrika amintsika iny lehilahy iny? alefaso ireo olona ireo hanompo an’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny; tsy mbola fantatrao va fa efa simba Egypta?
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?”
Dia nisy nampiverina an’ i Mosesy sy Arona hankao amin’ i Farao indray: ary hoy izy taminy: Mandehana, manompo an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo; nefa iza avy moa no handeha?
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.”
Ary hoy Mosesy: Ny tanora sy ny antitra aminay ho entinay handeha, ary ny zanakai-lahy sy ny zanakai-vavy sy ny ondry aman’ osinay ary ny ombinay ho entinay handeha; fa hisy andro firavoravoanay ho an’ i Jehovah.
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].
Fa hoy Farao taminy: Aoka homba anareo ihany anie Jehovah, raha handefa anareo mbamin’ ny zanakareo madinika aho; mitandrema, fa misy ratsy eo anoloanareo.
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].
Tsy izany, fa mandehana ianareo lehilahy lehibe ka manompoa an’ i Jehovah, fa izany no tadiavinareo. Ary izy roa lahy dia noroahina hiala teo anatrehan’ i Farao.
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.”
Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Ahinjiro ambonin’ ny tany Egypta ny tananao hihavian’ ny valala, dia hiakatra ho eto amin’ ny tany Egypta ireny, ary dia hihinana ny zava-maniry amin’ ny tany, dia izay rehetra sisan’ ny havandra.
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.
Dia nahinjitr’ i Mosesy tambonin’ ny tany Egypta ny tehiny, ary Jehovah nitondra rivotra avy any atsinanana hankany amin’ ny tany mandritra iny andro sy iny alina iny; ary nony maraina dia nitondra ny valala ny rivotra avy any atsinanana.
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.
Ary ny valala niakatra ho amin’ ny tany Egypta rehetra, dia nipetraka nanerana ny tany Egypta rehetra; ary nampahory indrindra ireny, ka tsy nisy valala toy izany tany aloha, ary ato aoriany koa tsy hisy toy izany.
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.
Fa nandrakotra ny tany rehetra ireny, ka efa maizina ny tany; ary nohaniny ny anana rehetra teo amin’ ny tany sy ny voankazo rehetra, izay sisan’ ny havandra; ka dia tsy nisy sisa ny zava-maitso eran’ ny tany Egypta rehetra, na tamin’ ny hazo, na tamin’ ny anana tany an-tsaha.
16 The king quickly summoned Aaron and Moses/me and said, “I have sinned against Yahweh, your god, and against you [two].
Ary Farao dia nampaka an’ i Mosesy sy Arona faingana ka nanao hoe: Efa nanota tamin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo sy taminareo aho.
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.”
Ary ankehitriny, masìna ianao mamela ny fahotako izao indray mandeha izao ihany, ka mangataha amin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo hampialany amiko izao mahafaty iray loha izao monja.
18 They/We left the king, and Moses/I prayed to Yahweh.
Dia niala teo amin’ i Farao izy ka nangataka tamin’ i Jehovah.
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.
Ary Jehovah nahatonga rivotra mahery indrindra avy andrefana kosa, izay nitondra ny valala ka namarina azy tao amin’ ny Ranomasina Mena; dia tsy nisy sisa intsony ny valala eran’ ny tany Egypta rehetra, na dia iray akory aza.
20 But Yahweh made the king stubborn [IDM] [again], and he did not let the Israeli people go.
Nefa Jehovah nanamafy ny fon’ i Farao, ka tsy nandefa ny Zanak’ Isiraely izy.
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].”
Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Ahinjiro manandrify ny lanitra ny tananao, mba hisy aizina amin’ ny tany Egypta, dia aizina azo tsapaina.
22 So Moses/I reached his/my hand toward the sky, and it became totally dark all over Egypt for three days [and nights].
Dia nahinjitr’ i Mosesy nanandrify ny lanitra ny tànany; dia nisy aizim-pito eran’ ny tany Egypta rehetra hateloana,
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.
koa tsy mba nifankahita ny olona, na niala tamin’ izay nitoerany, hateloana; fa ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra kosa nisy mazava teo amin’ ny fonenany.
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.”
Ary Farao dia nampaka an’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe: Mandehana ianareo, manompoa an’ i Jehovah; fa ny ondry aman’ osinareo sy ny ombinareo ihany no aoka havelanareo; ary ny zanakareo madinika dia aoka hiaraka aminareo koa.
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.
Ary hoy Mosesy: Hianao no hanolotra eto an-tananay izay fanatitra dorana sy fanatitra hafa alatsa-drà haterinay ho an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitray;
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.”
ary ny omby aman’ ondrinay dia ho entinay hiaraka aminay koa; fa tsy hisy havela na dia ny kitrony iray aza, satria ireny no hangalanay hanompoana an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitray; ary tsy mbola fantatray izay ho entinay manompo an’ i Jehovah mandra-pahatonganay any.
27 But Yahweh made the king [continue to be] stubborn [IDM], and he would not let [the Israeli] people go.
Ary Jehovah dia nanamafy ny fon’ i Farao, ka tsy nety nandefa azy izy.
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!”
Ary hoy Farao taminy: Mialà amiko; koa mitandrema, fa aoka tsy hahita ny tavako intsony ianao; fa amin’ izay andro hahitanao ny tavako dia ho faty ianao.
29 Moses/I replied, “You are correct! You will never see me [SYN] again!”
Ary hoy Mosesy: Marina izay nolazainao; fa tsy hahita ny tavanao intsony aho.
