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.
Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Mankanesa ao amin’ i Farao ianao, ka lazao aminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Hebreo: Alefaso ny oloko hanompo Ahy.
2 If you still keep refusing to let them go [DOU],
Fa raha mandà ka tsy mandefa azy ianao, fa mbola mihazona azy ihany,
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].
dia, indro, ny tànan’ i Jehovah ho amin’ ny bibinao izay any an-tsaha, dia amin’ ny soavaly sy amin’ ny boriky sy amin’ ny rameva sy amin’ ny omby ary amin’ ny ondry aman’ osy, ka hisy areti-mandringana mafy indrindra.
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.”’
Ary Jehovah dia hanavaka ny bibin’ ny Isiraely amin’ ny bibin’ ny Egyptiana, ka tsy hisy maty izay rehetra an’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely na dia iray aza.
5 [Tell him that] I have determined/decided that tomorrow is the day that I will do this in this land.”
Dia nanendry fotoan’ andro Jehovah ka nanao hoe: Rahampitso no hanaovan’ i Jehovah izany zavatra izany eto amin’ ny tany.
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.
Ary nony ampitso dia nataon’ i Jehovah izany zavatra izany; ka maty avokoa ny bibin’ ny Egyptiana rehetra; fa ny bibin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely kosa tsy mba nisy maty na dia iray akory aza.
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.
Dia naniraka Farao, ka, indro, tsy mba nisy maty ny bibin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely na dia iray akory aza, nefa nihamafy ny fon’ i Farao, ka tsy nandefa ny olona izy.
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.
Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy sy Arona: Mangalà lavenona amin’ ny tananao ao amin’ ny lafaoro lehibe, ary aoka hatopin’ i Mosesy miakatra manandrify ny lanitra eo imason’ i Farao izany.
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.”
Dia hitora-jofo eran’ ny tany Egypta rehetra izany ka ho tonga vay mipoipoitra amin’ ny olona sy amin’ ny biby fiompy eran’ ny tany Egypta rehetra.
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.
Dia naka lavenona tamin’ ny lafaoro lehibe izy roa lahy ka nitsangana teo anatrehan’ i Farao; dia natopin’ i Mosesy niakatra nanandrify ny lanitra izany, ka dia tonga vay nipoipoitra tamin’ ny olona sy tamin’ ny biby fiompy.
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.
Ary ny ombiasy tsy nahajanona teo anatrehan’ i Mosesy noho ny vay; fa ny vay dia nahazo ny ombiasy mbamin’ ny Egyptiana rehetra.
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].
Nefa Jehovah dia nanamafy ny fon’ i Farao, ka tsy nihaino azy mirahalahy izy, dia araka izay efa nolazain’ i Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy.
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].
Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Mifohaza maraina koa ianao dia mitsangana eo anatrehan’ i Farao, ka lazao aminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Hebreo: Alefaso ny oloko hanompo Ahy
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.
Fa ankehitriny izao dia halefako ny areti-mandringana rehetra avy atỳ amiko hamely ny fonao sy ny mpanomponao ary ny vahoakanao, mba hahafantaranao fa tsy misy tahaka Ahy amin’ ny tany rehetra.
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.
Fa ankehitriny, raha izay Aho no naninjitra ny tanako hamely anao sy ny vahoakanao amin’ ny areti-mandringana, dia efa fongotra tamin’ ny tany ianao.
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.
Kanefa izao indrindra no nampaharetako anao, dia ny hampahita anao ny heriko mba hambara any amin’ ny tany rehetra ny anarako.
17 You are still acting proudly and refusing to let my people go.
Mbola mirehareha amin’ ny oloko ihany va ianao ka tsy handefa azy?
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].
Indro, rahampitso toy izao dia hampilatsaka havandra be dia be Aho, izay tsy mbola nisy toy izany teto Egypta hatramin’ ny andro nisiany mponina ka mandraka ankehitriny.
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].
Koa ankehitriny, maniraha mba hanangona faingana ny bibinao sy izay rehetra anananao any an-tsaha; fa ny olona rehetra sy ny biby fiompy izay ho hita any an-tsaha ka tsy ho enti-mody dia hilatsahan’ ny havandra ka ho faty avokoa.
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.
Ary izay natahotra ny tenin’ i Jehovah teo amin’ ny mpanompon’ i Farao dia nampody ny mpanompony sy ny bibiny ho any an-trano;
21 But those who did not pay any attention to what Yahweh had said left their slaves and their animals in the fields.
fa izay tsy nandatsaka am-po ny tenin’ i Jehovah kosa dia namela ny mpanompony sy ny bibiny tany an-tsaha ihany.
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.”
Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Ahinjiro manandrify ny lanitra ny tananao, dia hisy havandra hilatsaka amin’ ny tany Egypta rehetra, dia amin’ ny olona sy amin’ ny biby fiompy ary amin’ ny anana rehetra any an-tsaha eran’ ny tany Egypta.
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.
Dia nahinjitr’ i Mosesy manandrify ny lanitra ny tehiny; ary Jehovah nanisy kotrokorana sy havandra, ary nisy afo nifanaretsadretsaka teny ambonin’ ny tany; ary Jehovah nandatsaka havandra tamin’ ny tany Egypta.
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.
Dia nisy havandra sy afo nifandrambondrambona tanelanelan’ ny havandra; dia mafy indrindra izany, ka tsy mbola nisy toy izany tany amin’ ny tany Egypta rehetra hatrizay naha-firenena azy.
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.
Ary ny havandra namely izay rehetra tany an-tsaha, na olona na biby fiompy, eran’ ny tany Egypta rehetra; ny anana rehetra tany an-tsaha dia nasian’ ny havandra koa, ary ny hazo rehetra tany an-tsaha notapatapahiny.
26 Only in the Goshen region, where the Israeli people were [living], was there no hail.
Fa tao amin’ ny tany Gosena izay nitoeran’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely ihany no tsy mba nisy havandra.
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.
Dia naniraka Farao nampaka an’ i Mosesy sy Arona ka nanao taminy hoe: Efa nanota aho tamin’ izao, ka Jehovah no marina, fa izaho sy ny vahoakako no meloka.
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.”
Mangataha amin’ i Jehovah, fa aoka izay ny kotrokorana sy ny havandra, dia halefako tsy hitoetra eto intsony ianareo.
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.
Ary hoy Mosesy taminy: Raha vao mivoaka amin’ ny tanàna aho, dia hamelatra ny tanako amin’ i Jehovah; koa dia hitsahatra ny kotrokorana, ary ny havandra dia tsy hisy intsony, mba hahafantaranao fa an’ i Jehovah ny tany.
30 But as for you and your officials, I know that you do not yet fear Yahweh God.”
Kanefa fantatro fa ianao sy ny mpanomponao dia tsy mbola hatahotra an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitra ihany.
31 When the hail fell, the flax was ruined because the buds were forming, and the barley was ruined because its grain was ripe.
Ary efa naripaka ny rongony sy ny vary hordea; fa efa niteraka ny vary hordea, ary efa namony ny rongony.
32 But none of the wheat crops was ruined, because their shoots were still very small.
Fa ny vary tritika sy ny ampemby no tsy mba naripaka, satria mbola fohy ireny.
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].
Ary Mosesy niala teo amin’ i Farao ka nankeo ivelan’ ny tanàna, dia namelatra ny tànany tamin’ i Jehovah, ka dia nitsahatra ny kotrokorana sy ny havandra, ary tsy nisy ranonorana nilatsaka tamin’ ny tany intsony.
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].
Ary nony hitan’ i Farao fa nitsahatra ny ranonorana sy ny havandra ary ny kotrokorana, dia mbola nanota ihany indray izy; ary samy nanamafy ny fony izy sy ny mpanompony.
35 So, just as Yahweh had predicted by what he told Moses/me, the king did not allow the Israeli people to leave.
Dia nihamafy ny fon’ i Farao ka tsy mba nandefa ny Zanak’ Isiraely izy, araka izay efa nampilazain’ i Jehovah an’ i Mosesy.
