< 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,
Nígbà náà ni Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé, “Lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ Farao, mo ti ṣé àyà Farao le àti àyà àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀, kí èmi kí o ba le ṣe àwọn iṣẹ́ ìyanu mi láàrín wọn.
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].”
Kí ẹ̀yin ki ó le sọ fún àwọn ọmọ yín àti àwọn ọmọ ọmọ yín; bí mo ti jẹ àwọn ará Ejibiti ní yà àti bí mo ti ṣe àwọn iṣẹ́ ìyanu láàrín wọn. Kí ìwọ ba á le mọ̀ pé Èmi ni Olúwa.”
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]
Nígbà náà ni Mose àti Aaroni tọ Farao lọ, tiwọn sí wí fún un pé, “Èyí ni Olúwa, Ọlọ́run àwọn Heberu sọ, ‘Yóò ti pẹ́ to ti ìwọ yóò kọ̀ láti tẹrí ara rẹ ba ní iwájú mi? Jẹ́ kí àwọn ènìyàn mi kí ó lọ, kí wọn kí ó sìn mi.
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.
Bí ìwọ bá kọ̀ láti jẹ́ kí wọn lọ, èmi yóò mú eṣú wa sí orílẹ̀-èdè rẹ ní ọ̀la.
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.
Wọn yóò bo gbogbo ilẹ̀. Wọn yóò ba ohun gbogbo tí ó kù fún ọ lẹ́yìn òjò yìnyín jẹ́, tí ó fi dórí gbogbo igi tí ó ń dàgbà ni ilẹ̀ rẹ.
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.
Wọn yóò kún gbogbo ilé rẹ àti ilé àwọn ìjòyè rẹ àti ilé gbogbo àwọn ará Ejibiti. Ohun ti baba rẹ tàbí baba baba rẹ kò tí ì rí láti ìgbà tí wọ́n ti wà ní ilẹ̀ náà títí di àkókò yìí.’” Nígbà náà ni Mose pẹ̀yìndà kúrò níwájú 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]
Àwọn ìjòyè Farao sọ fún un, “Yóò ti pẹ́ to tí ọkùnrin yìí yóò máa jẹ́ ìkẹ́kùn fún wa? Jẹ́ kí àwọn ènìyàn yìí lọ, kí wọn kí ó le sìn Olúwa Ọlọ́run wọn. Ṣe ìwọ kò ṣe àkíyèsí síbẹ̀ pé, ilẹ̀ Ejibiti ti parun tán?”
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?”
Nígbà náà ni a mú Aaroni àti Mose padà wá sí iwájú Farao ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ lọ sìn Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín. Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ta ni nínú yín ni yóò ha lọ.”
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.”
Mose dáhùn ó wí pé, “A ó lọ pẹ̀lú àwọn ọmọdé àti àgbà wa, pẹ̀lú àwọn ọmọ wa ọkùnrin àti ọmọ wa obìnrin pẹ̀lú agbo àgùntàn wa àti agbo màlúù wa nítorí pé a gbọdọ̀ ṣe àjọ fún Olúwa.”
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].
Farao sì wí pé, “Mo fi Olúwa búra pé èmi kí yóò jẹ́ kí ẹ lọ, pẹ̀lú àwọn obìnrin yín àti àwọn ọmọ wẹ́wẹ́, dájúdájú èrò ibi ní ń bẹ nínú yín.
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].
Rárá! Ọkùnrin yín nìkan ni kí ó lọ, láti lọ sin Olúwa, níwọ̀n ìgbà tí ó jẹ́ pé èyí ni ẹ̀yin ń béèrè fún.” Wọ́n sì lé Mose àti Aaroni kúrò ní iwájú 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.”
Ní ìgbà náà ni Olúwa sọ fún Mose, “Gbé ọwọ́ rẹ sókè lórí Ejibiti kí ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ eṣú bo gbogbo ilẹ̀, kí ó sì ba gbogbo ohun ọ̀gbìn tí ó wà ni inú oko wọn jẹ́, àní gbogbo ohun tí òjò yìnyín kò bàjẹ́ tan.”
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.
Nígbà náà ni Mose na ọ̀pá ọwọ́ rẹ̀ sórí ilẹ̀ Ejibiti, Olúwa sì mú kí afẹ́fẹ́ láti ìlà-oòrùn fẹ́ kọjá lórí ilẹ̀ náà ni gbogbo ọ̀sán àti ni gbogbo òru ni ọjọ́ náà. Ní òwúrọ̀ afẹ́fẹ́ náà ti gbá ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ eṣú wá;
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.
wọ́n sì bo gbogbo ilẹ̀ Ejibiti, wọ́n wà ní ibi gbogbo ní orí ilẹ̀ ní àìmoye, ṣáájú àkókò yìí kò sí irú ìyọnu eṣú bẹ́ẹ̀ rí, kò sì ní sí irú rẹ mọ́ lẹ́yìn èyí.
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.
Wọ́n bo gbogbo ilẹ̀ tí ilẹ̀ fi di dúdú. Wọ́n ba gbogbo ohun tókù ní orí ilẹ̀ lẹ́yìn òjò yìnyín jẹ́; gbogbo ohun ọ̀gbìn tí ó wà ní inú oko àti gbogbo èso tí ó wà lórí igi. Kò sí ewé tí ó kù lórí igi tàbí lórí ohun ọ̀gbìn ní gbogbo ilẹ̀ Ejibiti.
16 The king quickly summoned Aaron and Moses/me and said, “I have sinned against Yahweh, your god, and against you [two].
Farao yára ránṣẹ́ pe Mose àti Aaroni, ó sì sọ fún wọn pé, “Èmi ti ṣẹ̀ sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín àti sí i yín pẹ̀lú.
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.”
Nísinsin yìí ẹ dáríjì mi lẹ́ẹ̀kan sí i kí ẹ sì gbàdúrà sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín kí ó lè mú ìpọ́njú yìí kúrò ní ọ̀dọ̀ mi.”
18 They/We left the king, and Moses/I prayed to Yahweh.
Nígbà náà ni Mose kúrò ní iwájú Farao ó sì gbàdúrà sí Olúwa.
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.
Olúwa sì yí afẹ́fẹ́ náà padà di afẹ́fẹ́ líle láti apá ìwọ̀-oòrùn wá láti gbá àwọn eṣú náà kúrò ní orí ilẹ̀ Ejibiti lọ sínú Òkun Pupa. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ẹyọ eṣú kan kò ṣẹ́kù sí orí ilẹ̀ Ejibiti.
20 But Yahweh made the king stubborn [IDM] [again], and he did not let the Israeli people go.
Síbẹ̀ Olúwa ṣe àyà Farao le, kò sì jẹ́ kí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli lọ.
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].”
Nígbà náà ni Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé, “Gbé ọwọ́ rẹ sókè sí ojú ọ̀run kí òkùnkùn bá à le bo gbogbo ilẹ̀ Ejibiti; àní òkùnkùn biribiri.”
22 So Moses/I reached his/my hand toward the sky, and it became totally dark all over Egypt for three days [and nights].
Nígbà náà ni Mose gbé ọwọ́ rẹ sókè sí ojú ọ̀run, òkùnkùn biribiri sì bo gbogbo ilẹ̀ Ejibiti fún ọjọ́ mẹ́ta. Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ní ìmọ́lẹ̀ ní ibi tí wọn ń gbé.
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.
Kò sí ẹni tí ó le è ríran rí ẹlòmíràn tàbí kí ó kúrò ní ibi tí ó wà fún ọjọ́ mẹ́ta. Síbẹ̀ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ni ìmọ́lẹ̀ ni gbogbo ibi tí wọ́n ń gbé.
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.”
Farao sì ránṣẹ́ pe Mose ó sì wí fún un pé, “Lọ sin Olúwa, kódà àwọn obìnrin àti àwọn ọmọdé lè lọ pẹ̀lú yín, ṣùgbọ́n kí ìwọ kí ó fi agbo àgùntàn àti agbo màlúù yín sílẹ̀.”
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n Mose sọ pé, “Ìwọ gbọdọ̀ fún wa láààyè láti rú ẹbọ àti ọrẹ ẹbọ sísun ní iwájú Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa.
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.”
Àwọn ohun ọ̀sìn wa gbọdọ̀ lọ pẹ̀lú wa, a kì yóò fi pátákò ẹsẹ̀ ẹran sílẹ̀. A ní láti lò lára wọn fún sínsin Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa, ìgbà tí a bá sì dé ibẹ̀ ni a ó to mọ̀ ohun ti a ó lò láti fi sin Olúwa.”
27 But Yahweh made the king [continue to be] stubborn [IDM], and he would not let [the Israeli] people go.
Ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa sé ọkàn Farao le, kò sì ṣetán láti jẹ́ kí wọn lọ.
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!”
Farao sọ fún Mose pé, “Kúrò ní iwájú mi! Rí i dájú pé o kò wá sí iwájú mi mọ́! Ọjọ́ tí ìwọ bá rí ojú mi ni ìwọ yóò kùú.”
29 Moses/I replied, “You are correct! You will never see me [SYN] again!”
Mose sì dáhùn pé, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìwọ ti wí, “Èmi kí yóò wá sí iwájú rẹ mọ́.”
