< Exodus 8 >

1 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Go back to the king and tell him, ‘Yahweh says that you must let my people go, in order that they can worship me [in the desert].
Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa mondo odhi ir Farao kendo onyise niya, Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “We joga odhi mondo gilama.
2 But if you refuse to let them go, I will punish you by sending frogs to cover your country.
Ka idagi weyo joga mondo odhi, to abiro kelo masira mar ogwende e pinyni duto.
3 [Not only] will the Nile [River] be full of frogs, [but] the frogs will come up [out of the river] into your palace. They will come into your bedroom and onto your bed. They will be in the houses of your officials and all [the rest of] your people. They will even get into your ovens and your pans for mixing the materials for baking bread.
Ogwende nopongʼ aora Nael kendo giniwuogi ka gidhi e odi nyaka kor nindo. Bende ginipongʼ nyaka kitandani, ute jodongi kod mag jogi, kaachiel gi kuonde tedo gi dwalo makati.
4 The frogs will jump up on you and your officials and [all the rest of] your people.’”
Ogwendego nochikre kuomi, kuom jogi kendo kuom jodongi duto.”
5 Yahweh [also] said to Moses/me, “Say this to Aaron: ‘Hold your stick in your hand and stretch it out [as though you were stretching it] over the river, the canals, and over the pools, and cause frogs to come up [from all this water and] cover the land of Egypt.’”
Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya; “Nyis Harun kama: ‘Rie ludhi ewi aore, sokni kod yewni, kendo ogwende nowuog maim piny Misri duto.’”
6 [After Moses/I told that to] Aaron, he stretched out his hand [as though he were stretching it] over all the water in Egypt. And the frogs came up [from the water and] covered Egypt.
Omiyo Harun norieyo lwete ewi pige mag Misri, kendo ogwende nowuok mopongʼo pinyno.
7 But the men who performed magic did the same thing, and they caused [more] frogs to come up [from the water onto the land].
To ajuoke bende notimo mana kamano gi tijegi mochido kendo negimiyo ogwende owuok e piny Misri.
8 Then the king summoned Moses/me and said, “Ask Yahweh to take away these frogs from me and my people. After that happens, I will allow your people to go, in order that they can offer sacrifices to Yahweh.”
Farao noluongo Musa kod Harun mi owachonegi niya, “Kwauru Jehova Nyasaye mondo ogol ogwendegi kuoma kod joga, eka anawe jogi mondo odhi otim misengini ni Jehova Nyasaye.”
9 Moses/I said to the king, “I will be glad to pray for you and for your officials and for [the rest of] your people. [I will ask Yahweh] to get rid of the frogs from all your houses. The only frogs left will be [those] in the Nile [River]. Just tell me when I should pray.”
Musa nodwoko Farao niya, “Aweyoni mondo iket kinde mowinjore alemnie kod jodongi gi jogi mondo in kod joodi ogol ogwende kuomu, to mago manie aora Nael to nodongʼ.”
10 He replied, “Tomorrow.” So Moses/I said, “[I will do] what you say, and then you will know that Yahweh God, the one we [worship, is the only true god], and that there is no other god like him.
Farao nodwoke niya, “Obed kiny.” Musa nodwoke niya, “We obed mana kaka isewachono mondo ingʼe ni onge ngʼat machal kod Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa.
11 The frogs will leave you and your officials and all [the rest of] your people. The only ones left will be in the Nile [River].”
Ogwende nodar kawuok e uteni, e ute jodongi kod ute mag jogi; to e aora Nael ok giniwuogie.”
12 Aaron and Moses/I left the king. Then Moses/I prayed to Yahweh, [asking him to take away] all the frogs he had [brought to the king’s land].
Bangʼ ka Musa kod Harun noseweyo Farao, Musa noywak ni Jehova Nyasaye nikech ogwende mane osekelo kuom Farao.
13 And Yahweh did just what Moses/I [asked him to do]. As a result, all the frogs in the houses, in their courtyards, and in the fields died.
Kendo Jehova Nyasaye notimo mana kaka Musa nokwaye. Ogwende notho ei udi kod laru gi pewe.
14 The people gathered together all the dead frogs into big piles, and the land stank [from the smell].
Negichokore pidhe pidhe kendo negipongʼo piny.
15 But when the king saw that [the problem] was ended, he became stubborn [IDM] [again]. And just as Yahweh had predicted, he would not pay attention to what Aaron and Moses/we told him.
Kane Farao oneno ni oseyudo thuolo, noketo chunye matek mine ok onyal winjo Musa kod Harun, mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye nowacho.
16 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Tell Aaron to strike the ground with his stick. [When he does that], all the fine particles of ground/dust will become gnats, all over the land of Egypt.”
Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya, “Nyis Harun kama: ‘Rie ludhi mondo ichwadgo buru ma e lowo,’ kendo buru ma e lowo mar piny Misri duto biro lokore kikun.”
17 So they/we did that. Aaron struck the ground with his stick, and all over Egypt, the fine particles of ground/dirt became gnats. The gnats covered the people and all [their] animals.
Negitimo mano kendo ka Harun norieyo bade mane otingʼogo luth mi ochwado buru ma e lowo, kikun nopor kuom ji kod jamni. Buru ma e piny Misri duto nolokore kikun.
18 The men who worked magic tried to cause gnats to appear, but they were unable to do it. So the gnats [stayed] on the Egyptian people and on their animals.
To ka ajuoke notemo mondo gin bende gihon kikun kuom tichgi mochido, to ne ok ginyal, kendo kikun nopor kuom ji gi jamni.
19 The men who worked magic said to the king, “It is God who has done this with his power [MTY]!” But the king continued to be stubborn [IDM], and he would not pay attention to us, just as Yahweh had predicted.
Ajuoke nowacho ne Farao niya, “Ma en lwet Nyasaye!” To kata kamano chuny Farao ne tek kendo ne ok onyal winjo wach Musa gi Harun mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye nowacho.
20 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Get up early [tomorrow] morning. [Go down] to the river and wait for the king. [When he comes to bathe] [MTY], say to him, ‘This is what Yahweh says to you: “Let my people go, in order that they may worship me [in the desert].
Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya, “Chiew gokinyi ahinya mondo irom gi Farao ka odhi e aora Nael mondo inyise kama: Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: We joga odhi mondo gilama.
21 [I warn you that] if you do not let my people go, I will send swarms of flies to you. They will come down on you and on your officials and on [the rest of] your people. The houses of all you Egyptians will be full of flies. They will [even] cover the ground.
To ka ok iweyo joga mondo odhi, to abiro kelo lwangʼni kuomi, kuom jodongi, kuom jogi kod ei uteu duto. Ute jo-Misri biro pongʼ gi lwangʼni kata mana e lowo kama gintie bende biro pongʼ.
22 But when that happens, I will treat the Goshen region, where my people live, differently. There will be no swarms of flies there. In that way, you will know that I, Yahweh, am doing these things [here] in this land.
“‘To chiengʼno ok anahon lwangʼni e piny Goshen kama joga odakie, mi iningʼe ni an Jehova Nyasaye kare anie pinyni.
23 I will distinguish clearly between [how I act toward] my people and [how I act toward] your people. And this plague is going to happen tomorrow!”’”
Abiro keto pogruok e kind joga kod jogi. Hononi kiny notimre kiny.’”
24 [Early the next morning, Moses/I told that to the king, but the king would not pay any attention]. So Yahweh did what he said he would do. He sent great swarms of flies into the palace of the king and into the houses of his officials. The whole country of Egypt was ruined by the flies.
Kendo Jehova Nyasaye notimo mano. Kweth mag lwangʼni mopoto noolore e od Farao, kendo ei ut jodonge bende piny Misri duto ne lwangʼnigo oketho.
25 Then the king summoned Aaron and Moses/me and said, “You Israeli people can go and offer sacrifices to your god, [but you must do it] here in [this] land.”
Eka Farao noluongo Musa kod Harun mowachonegi niya, “Dhiuru utim misango ni Nyasachu e piny Misri ka.”
26 But Moses/I replied, “It would not be right [for us] to do that, because we will be offering sacrifices that are very offensive to the Egyptian people. If we offer sacrifices that the Egyptian people think are disgusting, they will kill us by throwing stones at us [RHQ]!
To Musa nodwoko niya, “Mano ok nyal bedo kare. Misengini ma wachiwo ni Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa nyalo bedo gima kwero ni jo-Misri. To ka wachiwo misengini makwerogo e wangʼ-gi, donge gibiro goyowa gi kite?
27 No, we need to travel for three days into the desert. There we will offer sacrifices to Yahweh, the God we worship, just as he commands (OR, has commanded) us.”
Nyaka wakaw wuodh ndalo adek e thim mondo wachiw misengini ni Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa mana kaka ochikowa.”
28 So the king said, “I will let your people go to offer sacrifices to Yahweh, your god, in the desert. But you must not go very far. [Now] pray for me!”
Farao nodwoko niya, “Abiro yienu mondo udhi uchiw misengini ni Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu e thim to mana ka ok udhi mabor. Omiyo lamnauru.”
29 Moses/I said, “Listen [to me]! After I leave you, I will pray to Yahweh, [asking] that tomorrow [he will cause] the swarms of flies to leave you and your officials and [the rest of] your people. But do not deceive us again by refusing to let our people go to offer sacrifices to Yahweh!”
Musa nodwoko niya, “Bangʼ kinde matin ka asewuok, to abiro lamoni Jehova Nyasaye, kendo kiny lwangʼni nowe Farao, jodonge kod joge. Makmana ni Farao kik chak riambi kotamo jo-Israel dhi timo misengini ni Jehova Nyasaye.”
30 Then Moses/I left the king and prayed to Yahweh.
Bangʼe Musa noweyo Farao mi olamo Jehova Nyasaye,
31 And Yahweh did what Moses/I asked, and he got rid of the swarms of flies from [around] the king and his officials and [the rest of] his people. No flies remained.
kendo Jehova Nyasaye notimo kaka Musa nokwayo: Lwangʼni noweyo Farao kod jodonge kaachiel gi joge: Kata lwangʼni achiel ne ok odongʼ.
32 But the king was stubborn [IDM] this time also, and he did not allow the Israeli people to go.
To kata mana e kindeni Farao nomedo bedo gi tok teko kendo ne ok onyal weyo jo-Israel mondo odhi.
