Exodus 9
1 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Go to the king and say to him, ‘This is what Yahweh, the God [we] Hebrews [worship], says: “Allow my people to go, in order that they may worship me.
Seyè a di Moyiz konsa: -Ale bò kot farawon an, w'a di l': Men sa Seyè a, Bondye pèp ebre a, voye di ou: Kite pèp mwen an ale pou yo ka fè sèvis pou mwen.
2 If you still keep refusing to let them go [DOU],
Si ou derefize kite yo ale, si ou kenbe yo toujou, men sak pral rive:
3 I warn you that I will punish you with my power [MTY] by sending a terrible disease on all your animals—on your horses, donkeys, camels, on your cattle, and on your flocks [of sheep and goats].
M'ap leve men m' sou bèt ou gen nan jaden ou yo: chwal, bourik, chamo, bèf, mouton, kabrit. Yon gwo maladi pral tonbe sou yo.
4 But I, Yahweh, will distinguish between [what I do to] the animals that belong to the Israeli people and [what I do to] your animals. The result will be that no animal that belongs to the Israeli people will die.”’
Men m'a veye pou sa ki rive bèt moun peyi Lejip yo pa rive bèt moun pèp Izrayèl yo, pou ankenn bèt moun pèp Izrayèl yo pa mouri.
5 [Tell him that] I have determined/decided that tomorrow is the day that I will do this in this land.”
Seyè a fikse jou pou l' fè bagay sa a. Li di se denmen l'ap fè sa nan tout peyi a.
6 The next day Yahweh did just what he said [that he would do]. A terrible disease afflicted all of the Egyptians’ animals, and many of them [HYP] died. But none of the Israeli people’s animals died.
Nan denmen vre, Seyè a fè sa l' te di li t'ap fè a: tout bèt moun peyi Lejip yo mouri. Men, pa yonn nan bèt moun Izrayèl yo pa t' mouri.
7 The king sent [men to investigate], and they were surprised [to see] that none of the Israeli people’s animals had died. But [after they reported that to] the king, he continued to be stubborn [IDM], and he did not let the [Israeli] people go.
Farawon an voye pran nouvèl sak pase: li vin konnen pa t' gen yonn nan bèt moun Izrayèl yo ki te mouri. Men, farawon an t'ap fè tèt di toujou. Li pa t' vle kite pèp la ale.
8 Then Yahweh said to Aaron and Moses/me, “Take a few handfuls of ashes/soot from (a furnace/an oven where they burn lime), and let Moses throw them up into the air, in front of the king.
Apre sa, Seyè a di Moyiz ak Arawon: -Plen de men nou ak sann dife. Se pou Moyiz voye sann lan jete anlè devan farawon an.
9 The [ashes/soot] will spread all over the country of Egypt like fine dust. And the ashes/soot will cause boils to afflict both the Egyptian people and their animals, all over the land.”
Sann lan pral gaye tankou pousyè pou l' kouvri tout peyi Lejip la. Toupatou li pral fè yon kantite bouton leve sou tout moun ak sou tout bèt nan peyi a. Lèfini, bouton yo ap pete, y'ap fè malenng.
10 So they/we both got some ashes/soot and [went and] stood in front of the king. Moses/I threw the ashes/soot up into the air. The ashes/soot spread all over, causing boils to afflict the [Egyptian] people and their animals. All the boils became open sores.
Yo pran sann dife a, yo parèt devan farawon an. Moyiz voye sann lan jete anlè. Sann lan fè bouton leve sou tout moun ak sou tout bèt. Epi bouton yo pete fè malenng.
11 Even the men who worked magic had boils. The result was that [they were suffering so much that] they were not able to come to Moses/me, because the men who worked magic had boils just like all [the rest of] the Egyptian people.
Ata majisyen yo pa t' kapab parèt devan Moyiz, paske yo te kouvri ak malenng tou tankou tout moun peyi Lejip yo.
12 But Yahweh caused the king to [continue to] be stubborn [IDM]. He did not pay any attention to what they/we [said], just as Yahweh had told Moses/me [would happen].
Men Seyè a te fè farawon an fè tèt di pi rèd. Farawon an pa t' koute Moyiz ak Arawon, tankou Seyè a te di Moyiz la.
13 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Get up early [tomorrow] morning. Go and stand in front of the king and tell him that Yahweh God, the one that the Hebrew people [worship], says this: ‘Let my people go, in order that they may worship me [in the desert].
Seyè a di Moyiz konsa: -Leve granmaten, al parèt devan farawon an. W'a di l': Men sa Seyè a, Bondye pèp ebre a, voye di ou: Kite pèp mwen an ale pou yo ka al fè sèvis pou mwen.
14 [If you do not let them go], this time I will [punish] with plagues [not only] your officials and the rest of your people, but I will punish you yourself [SYN], in order that you will know there is no [god] like me anywhere in the world.
Paske, fwa sa a, mwen pral voye tout kalite malè mwen konn fè yo sou ou menm menm, sou moun pa ou yo ak sou tout pèp ou a. Konsa, w'a konnen pa gen tankou m' sou tout latè.
15 By this time I could have used my power [MTY] to strike you and your people with terrible diseases that would have wiped you all from the earth.
Si mwen te lonje men m' pou m' te lage lanmò sou ou ansanm ak tout pèp ou a, nou tout nou te disparèt nèt sou latè.
16 But I have let you live. The reason I have let you live is to show you my power, with the result that [people] all over the earth [HYP] will know how great I [MTY] am.
Men, mwen kite nou viv pou nou kapab wè pouvwa mwen, pou moun ka nonmen non m' sou tout latè.
17 You are still acting proudly and refusing to let my people go.
Men w'ap pran pòz awogan ou avèk pèp mwen an, ou pa vle kite yo ale.
18 So listen [to this]: About this time tomorrow I will cause very heavy hail to fall [in Egypt]. From the time Egypt first became [a country], there has never been a hailstorm [as bad as this one will be].
Koute! Fwa sa a, denmen mwen pral fè lagrèl tonbe tankou lapli, bagay moun poko janm wè nan peyi Lejip, depi peyi a peyi jouk jounen jòdi a.
19 So you should send [a message to everyone] to put their cattle, and everything else that they own that is [out] in the fields, under shelters. The hail will fall on every person and every animal that is out in the fields and that is not put under a shelter, and they will all die.’” [So Moses/I did what Yahweh said].
Koulye a, bay lòd pou yo pran tout bèt nou gen nan jaden ak tout lòt bagay nou gen deyò mete yo anndan kay pou pwoteje yo. Paske, yon gwo lagrèl pral tonbe sou tout moun ak sou tout bèt ki deyò. Yo pral mouri.
20 Some of the king’s officials who heard what Yahweh had said became very afraid. So they put all their animals and their slaves under shelters.
Te gen kèk moun nan moun pa farawon yo ki te pè lè yo tande sa Seyè a te di. Yo fè tout domestik yo ansanm ak tout bèt yo antre anba kay.
21 But those who did not pay any attention to what Yahweh had said left their slaves and their animals in the fields.
Men, gen lòt ki pa t' okipe sa Seyè a te di. Yo kite tout domestik yo ak tout bèt yo deyò.
22 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Raise your hand up toward the sky, in order that hail will fall all over the land of Egypt—on the people and on their animals and on all the plants in the fields.”
Seyè a di Moyiz konsa: -Leve men ou anlè. Lagrèl pral tonbe sou tout peyi Lejip la, sou tout moun ki deyò, sou tout bèt ak sou tout plant ki nan jaden.
23 So Moses/I lifted his/my stick up toward the sky. And Yahweh sent down hail, all over the land of Egypt. There was also thunder and lightning.
Moyiz lonje baton l' lan anlè nan syèl la. Seyè a voye loraj, lagrèl ak zèklè. Loraj la tonbe anpil kote. Wi, Seyè a voye lagrèl sou tout peyi Lejip la.
24 While very heavy hail was falling, there was thunder, and lightning struck the ground. There had never been a hailstorm like that since Egypt first became a country.
Lagrèl t'ap tonbe, zèklè t'ap fè yanyan nan syèl la. Se te pi gwo kout tan ki te tonbe sou peyi a depi peyi a peyi.
25 The hail struck everything that was in the fields all over Egypt—every person and every animal. The hail destroyed the plants in the fields and stripped [the leaves off] the trees.
Lagrèl tonbe toupatou nan peyi Lejip la. Li tonbe sou tou sa ki te deyò, sou tout moun ak sou tout bèt. Li tonbe sou tout plant ki nan jaden, li kraze tout pyebwa.
26 Only in the Goshen region, where the Israeli people were [living], was there no hail.
Se sèl nan peyi Gochenn lan lagrèl la pa t' tonbe. Se la moun pèp Izrayèl yo te rete.
27 Then the king sent [someone] to summon Aaron and Moses/me. [When they/we came to the king], he said to them/us, “This time [I admit that] I have sinned. What Yahweh [has done] is right, and what I and my people [have done] is wrong.
Farawon an fè rele Moyiz ak Arawon, li di yo konsa: -Fwa sa a, mwen rekonèt tò mwen. Se Seyè a ki gen rezon. Se mwen menm ak pèp mwen an ki antò.
28 (Pray to/Plead with) Yahweh [to cause it to stop]! [We] cannot [endure any more] of this thunder and hail! I will let your people go; they do not have to stay [here in Egypt] any longer.”
Lapriyè Seyè a pou l' fè loraj la sispann, pou l' fè lagrèl la rete. Mwen pwomèt pou m' kite nou ale. Nou pa bezwen rete ankò.
29 Moses/I replied, “As soon as I go out of this city, I will lift up my hands [and pray] to Yahweh. Then the thunder will cease, and no more hail [will fall]. [This will happen] in order that you will know that Yahweh, [not your gods], controls everything [that happens] on the earth.
Moyiz di l' konsa: -Soti m' soti lavil la, mwen pral lapriyè nan pye Seyè a. Loraj la va sispann, p'ap gen lagrèl ankò. Konsa w'a konnen tè a se pou Seyè a li ye.
30 But as for you and your officials, I know that you do not yet fear Yahweh God.”
Men mwen konnen ni ou menm, ni moun pa ou yo, nou poko ap respekte Seyè a, Bondye a.
31 When the hail fell, the flax was ruined because the buds were forming, and the barley was ruined because its grain was ripe.
Tout pye koton swa yo ak tout jaden lòj yo te boule. Lòj la te deja fè grap, koton yo t'ap fleri.
32 But none of the wheat crops was ruined, because their shoots were still very small.
Men ble ak pitimi pa t' gate, paske yo toujou an reta sou lòt plant yo.
33 So Moses/I left the king and went outside the city. He/I lifted up his/my hands toward Yahweh [and prayed]. Then the thunder and the hail stopped, and the rain also stopped falling on the land [of Egypt].
Moyiz soti lakay farawon an, l' al andeyò lavil la. Li lapriyè nan pye Seyè a. Loraj la sispann, lagrèl la rete. pa t' gen lapli ankò.
34 But when the king saw that the rain and the hail and the thunder had stopped, he sinned again. He and his officials continued to be stubborn [IDM].
Lè farawon an wè lapli a, lagrèl la ak loraj la sispann, li kontinye fè peche toujou. Li fè tèt di, li menm ansanm ak tout moun pa l' yo.
35 So, just as Yahweh had predicted by what he told Moses/me, the king did not allow the Israeli people to leave.
Nan fè tèt di sa a, li pa t' kite moun pèp Izrayèl yo ale, jan Seyè a te fè Moyiz al di l' la.
