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].
Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses, “Utyak nu ye mutal tokosra ac fahk nu sel lah LEUM GOD El fahk mu, ‘Lela mwet luk ah in som, elos in ku in alu nu sik.
2 But if you refuse to let them go, I will punish you by sending frogs to cover your country.
Kom fin srunga, nga ac fah kai mutunfacl sum uh, ac sang frog in osralik acn nukewa.
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.
Infacl Nile ac fah arulana sessesla ke frog, su ac fah sroak liki infacl ah ac utyak nu inkul fulat sum, infukil in motul sum, mwe oan kiom, lohm sin mwet pwapa fulat lom ac mwet lom, oayapa luin nien manman lom ac ahlu in aryar flao.
4 The frogs will jump up on you and your officials and [all the rest of] your people.’”
Frog inge ac fah sroak nu fom ac nu fin mwet lom, ac nu fin mwet pwapa fulat lom.’”
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.’”
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses, “Fahk nu sel Aaron elan asroela sikal lal ah nu fin infacl, inyoa, ac inlulu nukewa, ac oru frog uh in sroak ac afunla fin acn Egypt.”
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.
Ouinge Aaron el asroela sikal lal fin kof uh, ac frog uh otyak ac afunla acn uh.
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].
Tusruk mwet orek inutnut elos orekmakin pac ku lukma lalos ac oru tuh in oasr pac frog utyak nu fin acn uh.
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.”
Tokosra el solalma Moses ac Aaron ac fahk nu seltal, “Pre ac siyuk sin LEUM GOD Elan eisla frog inge liki acn uh, na nga ac fah fuhlela mwet lowos in som, elos in ku in orek kisa nu sin LEUM GOD.”
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.”
Moses el topuk ac fahk, “Nga arulana engan in pre nu sin LEUM GOD inem. Fahkma pacl nga ac pre keim ac oayapa inen mwet pwapa fulat lom ac mwet lom, tuh frog uh in wanginla liki kom ac liki lohm suwos. Ac fah wangin frog lula sayen ma ke infacl Nile.”
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.
Tokosra el topuk ac fahk, “Pre lutu.” Moses el fahk, “Nga ac oru oana kom fahk, na kom ac fah etu lah wangin sie god oana LEUM GOD, God lasr.
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].”
Ac fah wanginla frog liki kom ac liki inkul sum, ac liki mwet pwapa fulat lom ac mwet lom uh, sayen frog ke infacl Nile mukena.”
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].
Na Moses ac Aaron som lukel tokosra, ac Moses el pre nu sin LEUM GOD Elan eisla frog ma El tuh use in kael tokosra.
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.
LEUM GOD El oru oana Moses el siyuk, ac frog ma oan in lohm, ku likinum, ku in imae misa kewa.
14 The people gathered together all the dead frogs into big piles, and the land stank [from the smell].
Mwet Egypt elos elosak frog uh in eol na lulap pukanten, oan nwe fohlelana acn uh.
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.
Ke tokosra el liye lah frog uh misa tari, el sifilpa akupaye nankal ac tia lohngol Moses ac Aaron, oana ke LEUM GOD El tuh fahk meet ah.
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.”
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses, “Fahk nu sel Aaron elan puokya infohk uh ke sikal lal ah, na pukun kutkut infohk uh fin acn Egypt nufon ac ekla nu ke won srisrik ngalngul.”
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.
Ouinge Aaron el puokya infohk uh ke sikal lal, ac pukun kutkut infohk uh nufon in acn Egypt ekla nu ke won srisrik ngalngul, su tuhwi fin mwet ac fin kosro nukewa.
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.
Mwet orek inutnut elos srike in orek mwenmen in use pac won srisrik ngalngul, tuh elos tia ku. Oasr won srisrik ngalngul yen nukewa,
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.
ac mwet orek inutnut uh fahk nu sel tokosra, “God pa oru ma inge!” Tusruktu upala nankal tokosra, ac el tia lohngol Moses ac Aaron, oana ke LEUM GOD El tuh fahk ah.
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].
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses, “Toangna lutu, fahla sonol tokosra ke el ac som nu infacl ah, ac fahk nu sel mu LEUM GOD El fahk, ‘Fuhlela mwet luk uh in som, elos in ku in alu nu sik.
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.
Kom fin srangesr fuhlelosla, na nga ac kai kom ke nga ac supwaot un loang puspis nu fom ac nu fin mwet fulat lom ac mwet lom nukewa. Lohm sin mwet Egypt ac fah sessesla ke loang, ac fin fohk uh ac fah afla pac ke loang.
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.
Tusruktu nga ac srela acn Goshen, yen mwet luk muta we, tuh in wangin loang we. Nga oru ouinge tuh kom in etu lah nga, LEUM GOD, nga oasr in facl se inge.
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!”’”
Nga fah oru in kalem lah oasr ekla inmasrlon mwet luk ac mwet lom. Mwe akul usrnguk se inge ac sikyak lutu.’”
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.
LEUM GOD El supwala un loang na pukanten nu in lohm sin tokosra ac lohm sin mwet fulat lal. Mutunfacl Egypt nufon musalla ke loang uh.
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.”
Na tokosra el solalma Moses ac Aaron ac fahk, “Som ac oru kisa lowos nu sin God lowos in facl se na inge.”
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]!
Moses el topuk, “Ac tia fal in ouinge, mweyen mwet Egypt elos ac srunga ke kut ac kisakin kosro ma mutal selos nu sin LEUM GOD lasr, na ke kut ac kisakin kosro inge yen elos ku in liye, elos ac arulana srunga, pwanang elos ac tungal kut nweke kut misa.
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.”
Kut enenu in fahsr len tolu nu yen mwesis in oru kisa nu sin LEUM GOD lasr, oana El sapkin nu sesr.”
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!”
Tokosra el fahk, “Nga ac fuhlela kowos in som kisa nu sin LEUM GOD lowos in acn mwesis, kowos fin tia som loesla. Tal pre keik.”
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!”
Moses el topuk, “Tukunna nga ac som, nga ac fah pre nu sin LEUM GOD tuh lutu loang puspis inge fah som liki kom, ac liki mwet fulat lom ac mwet lom. Tusruktu, enenu na kom in tia sifil kiapwekut, ku kutong mwet inge in tia som orek kisa nu sin LEUM GOD.”
30 Then Moses/I left the king and prayed to Yahweh.
Moses el illa ac som lukel tokosra, ac pre nu sin LEUM GOD,
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.
ac LEUM GOD El oru oana siyuk lal Moses. Loang uh som lukel tokosra ac mwet fulat ac mwet lal nukewa. Wangin sie loang lula.
32 But the king was stubborn [IDM] this time also, and he did not allow the Israeli people to go.
Na tokosra el sifil pacna akupaye nankal, ac tiana fuhlela mwet uh in som.
