< 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,
Le hoe t’Iehovà amy Mosè, Akia mb’ amy Parò mb’eo, amy te nampigañeko ty arofo’e naho ty tro’ o mpitoro’eo, hampipohako añivo’ iareo ao o viloko retoañe,
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].”
hahafitalilia’o amo ana’oo naho amo àfe’oo o raha nanoeko e Mitsraimeo naho o viloñe nitoloñeko añivo’ iereoo, hahafohina’ areo te izaho Iehovà.
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]
Aa le niheo mb’amy Parò mb’eo t’i Mosè naho i Aharone, le nanao ty hoe ama’e, Hoe ty tsara’ Iehovà, Andrianañahare’ o nte-Evreo, Pak’ ombia ty mbe hitokia’o tsy hirèke añatrefako? Ampiengao ondatikoo hitoroñe ahiko.
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 naho mifonen-drehe tsy hampiavotse ondatikoo, le hampivotrahako valala an-tane’ areo etoy te maray.
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.
Ho kopofe’e ty maso’ i taney tsy hahaisaha’ iaia o taneo, le habotse’e ty sisa nahafipoliotse, o nasisa’ i havandraio vaho havorembore’e ze hatae’areo mamoa an-kivoke ey.
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.
Hatsefe’e amo anjomba’oo naho o anjombam-pitoro’e naho ty amo hene nte-Mitsraimeo, ie mboe tsy niisan-droae’o ndra o roaen-droae’oo mifototse ami’ty andro naha-tan-tane atoy iareo pake henaneo. Nitolik’ amy zao re nienga i Parò.
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]
Hoe o mpitoro’’ i Paròo ama’e, Pak’ ombia t’ie mbe ho fandrik’ amantika? Ampiengao ondatio hitoroñe Iehovà Andrianañahare’e; mbe tsy rendre’o hao te mianto t’i Mitsraime?
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?”
Aa le nampibaliheñe mb’amy Parò mb’eo t’i Mosè naho i Aharone vaho hoe re tama’e, Akia, toroño t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo! Le ia naho ia ty homb’eo?
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.”
Hoe t’i Mosè, Hindre lia ama’ay o keleia’aio naho o bei’aio; rekets’ o ana-dahi’aio naho o anak’ampela’aio vaho hitraok’ ama’ay o mpirai-lia’aio naho o añombe’aio, hanoe’ay sabadidak’ am’ Iehovà.
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].
Hoe re tam’ iereo, Toe hitahy anahareo t’Iehovà naho hengako hindre lia ama’ areo o keleia’ areoo! Hehe ty fikitrohan-draty aolon-dahara’ areo.
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].
Aiy avao! O lahilahio avao ty hañavelo mb’eo henaneo hitoroñe Iehovà, fa izay ty nipaia’ areo. Le sinoike mb’eo iereo hidisak’ ami’ty fiatrefañe i Parò.
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.”
Le hoe t’Iehovà amy Mosè, Ahitio ambone’ o tane Mitsraimeo ty fità’o, hivotraha’ o valalao, hipetaha’ iareo an-tane Mitsraime, hampibotseke ze he’e mitiry an-tane eo, ze nisisa’ i havandray.
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.
Aa le nahiti’ i Mosè ambone’ tane Mitsraime i kobai’ey vaho ninday tiok’ atiñanañe amy taney amy lomoñàndroy naho amy haleñe iabiy t’Iehovà; ie nanjirike i àndroy le fa nonjone’ i tiok’ atiñanañey mb’eo o valalao.
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.
Le nionjoñe nanitsike ty tane Mitsraime o valalao, nandrambañe ty fifaritsoha’ i Mitsraime ty nipetaha’ iareo, nitozantozañe; mboe lia’e tsy nizoem-pifamorohotam-balala hoe zay vaho tsy ho zoeñe ka.
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.
Natsahe’e ty maso’ i taney, le nikò-maieñe i taney; naho fonga nabotse’e ze niniñaniña amy taney naho ze voan-katae nisisa’ i havandray vaho tsy nanisa raha antsetra an-katae ndra an-drongoñe an-kivoke ndra aia’aia an-tane Mitsraime ao iaby.
16 The king quickly summoned Aaron and Moses/me and said, “I have sinned against Yahweh, your god, and against you [two].
Kinoi’ i Parò amy zao t’i Mosè naho i Aharone le nanao ty hoe, Toe nanao hakeo amy Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo naho ama’ areo iraho.
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.”
Aa le miambane ama’o ty hiheve ami’ty henane toy i hakeokoy vaho halalio am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo te hafahañe amako ty fihomahañe toy avao.
18 They/We left the king, and Moses/I prayed to Yahweh.
Nienga i Parò re, nihalaly am’ Iehovà;
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.
Nafote’ Iehovà i tiokey ho tio-bey hirik’ ahandrefañe; nongaha’ i tiokey o valalao vaho sinoi’e mb’amy Riam-Binday añe; leo raike amo valalao tsy napoke an-tane Mitsraime ao iaby.
20 But Yahweh made the king stubborn [IDM] [again], and he did not let the Israeli people go.
Fe nampientere’ Iehovà ty arofo’ i Parò, le tsy nampiengae’e mb’eo o ana’ Israeleo.
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].”
Aa le hoe t’Iehovà amy Mosè, Ahitio mb’andikeram-b’eo ty fità’o hañatseke ty hamoromoroñe an-tane Mitsraime ao, ieñe mete tsapaeñe.
22 So Moses/I reached his/my hand toward the sky, and it became totally dark all over Egypt for three days [and nights].
Aa le nahiti’ i Mosè mb’andindìñey ty fità’e, le nandrambañe ty tane Mitsraime telo andro ty hamoromoroñe.
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.
Songa tsy nahay nifañisake, naho sindre tsy naha-ongake telo andro amy nidona’ey; fe amo hene ana’ Israeleo le nazava amo kiboho’ iareoo.
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.”
Aa le kinoi’ i Parò t’i Mosè nanao ty hoe, Akia, toroño t’Iehovà. Fe apoho atoy o lia-rai’ areoo naho o mpirai-tro areoo. Mete hindre ama’o o keleia’ areoo.
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.
Aa hoe t’i Mosè, Tsi-mete tsy hatolo’o ty hisoroñañe naho ty ho èngan-koroañe, hañalankaña’ay ho am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ay.
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.”
Aa le hindre lia ama’ay o hare’aio; leo tombo’e raike tsy hapo’ay, fa hendese’ay hitoroñe Iehovà Andrianañahare’ay, tsy apota’ay te inoñe ty hitoroña’ay Iehovà naho tsy fa pok’añe.
27 But Yahweh made the king [continue to be] stubborn [IDM], and he would not let [the Israeli] people go.
Fe nampigañe’ Iehovà ty arofo’ i Parò vaho tsy nisatrie’e ty hampienga iareo.
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!”
Le hoe ty Parò tama’e, Soik’ añe! Misitaha amako! Mitaoa tsy ho isa’o ka ty tareheko, fa amy andro hahaisaha’o azey ty hihomaha’o.
29 Moses/I replied, “You are correct! You will never see me [SYN] again!”
Hoe ty Mosè, Soa i saontsi’oy! Tsy ho treako ka o lahara’oo.
