< Exodus 10 >

1 And the LORD said to Moses, Go in to Pharaoh: for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants; that I might show these my signs before him:
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị ya, “Jekwuru Fero nʼihi na emeela m ka obi ya, na obi ndị na-ejere ya ozi sie ike, ka m nwee ike rụọ ọrụ ịrịbama ndị a dị iche iche nʼetiti ha.
2 And that thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son, and of thy son's son, what things I have wrought in Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; that ye may know how that I [am] the LORD.
Nke a ga-abụ akụkọ unu ga-akọrọ ụmụ unu, na ụmụ ụmụ unu, banyere otu m si mesie ndị Ijipt ike, na otu m si rụọ ọrụ ịrịbama m nʼetiti ha, ime ka unu mata na m bụ Onyenwe anyị.”
3 And Moses and Aaron came in to Pharaoh, and said to him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, How long wilt thou refuse to humble thyself before me? Let my people go, that they may serve me.
Ọzọ, Mosis na Erọn jekwuuru Fero gwa ya sị, “Nke a bụ ihe Onyenwe anyị Chineke ndị Hibru kwuru, ‘Ọ bụ ruo olee mgbe ka ị ga-ajụ iwedata onwe gị ala nʼihu m? Hapụ ndị m ka ha gaa fee m ofufe.
4 Else, if thou shalt refuse to let my people go, behold, to-morrow will I bring the locusts into thy border:
Ọ bụrụ na ị jụ ikwere ka ha gaa, nʼụtụtụ echi, aga m ezite igurube nʼala Ijipt.
5 And they shall cover the face of the earth, that one cannot be able to see the earth: and they shall eat the residue of that which hath escaped, which remaineth to you from the hail, and shall eat every tree which groweth for you out of the field:
Igurube ndị a ga-ekpuchi ihu ala Ijipt niile, ka mmadụ ọbụla hapụ ịhụ ala anya. Ha ga-erichapụ ihe ndị fọdụrụ bụ nke ifufe na mkpụrụ mmiri ahụ na-emebighị, tinyere osisi niile na-eto eto nʼubi unu.
6 And they shall fill thy houses, and the houses of all thy servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians; which neither thy fathers, nor thy fathers' fathers have seen, since the day that they were upon the earth to this day. And he turned himself, and went out from Pharaoh.
Ha ga-ejupụta nʼụlọ gị, na nʼụlọ ndị na-ejere gị ozi, na nʼụlọ ndị Ijipt niile. Ihe dị otu a bụ ụdị ihe na-emetụbeghị na mbụ, nke nna gị maọbụ nna nna gị ha na-ahụtụbeghị ụdị ya site na mgbe ha bidoro ibi nʼala a tutu ruo ugbu a.’” Mgbe ahụ, Mosis tụgharịrị hapụ Fero pụọ.
7 And Pharaoh's servants said to him, How long shall this man be a snare to us? Let the men go, that they may serve the LORD their God: knowest thou not yet that Egypt is destroyed?
Ndị na-ejere Fero ozi bịakwutere ya, jụọ ya sị, “Ruo ole mgbe ka nwoke a ga-anọgide na-abụrụ anyị ihe ọnwụnwa? Hapụ ndị a ka ha laa, ka ha nwee ike ife Onyenwe anyị Chineke ha ofufe. Ọ bụ na ị ghọtabeghị na e bibiela Ijipt?”
8 And Moses and Aaron were brought again to Pharaoh: and he said to them, Go, serve the LORD your God: [but] who [are] they that shall go?
Mgbe ahụ, a kpọghachiri Mosis na Erọn azụ nʼihu Fero. Ọ gwara ha sị, “Ọ dị mma, gaa feenụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu ofufe.” Fero jụkwara ha sị, “Olee ndị nʼetiti unu ga-eso unu jee?”
9 And Moses said, We will go with our young and with our old, with our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our herds will we go; for we [must hold] a feast to the LORD.
Mosis zaghachiri sị, “Anyị niile na-aga, ụmụntakịrị na ndị okenye, ụmụ anyị ndị ikom na ndị inyom, igwe ehi anyị na igwe ewu na atụrụ anyị; nʼihi na anyị na-aga ime mmemme dị nsọ nye Onyenwe anyị.”
10 And he said to them, Let the LORD be so with you, as I will let you go, and your little ones: look [to it]; for evil [is] before you.
Fero sịrị, “Ka Onyenwe anyị nọnyere unu. Ma agaghị m ekwe ka unu na ndị inyom unu, na ụmụntakịrị unu gaa. O doro anya na unu na-atụ atụmatụ ọjọọ nʼime obi unu.
11 Not so: go now ye [that are] men, and serve the LORD; for that you desired. And they were driven out from Pharaoh's presence.
Ọ gaghị adị otu a! Jeenụ naanị unu bụ ndị ikom gaa fee Onyenwe anyị unu ofufe, nʼihi na nke a bụ ihe unu na-arịọ.” Mgbe ahụ a chụpụrụ Mosis na Erọn site nʼihu Fero.
12 And the LORD said to Moses, Stretch out thy hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come upon the land of Egypt, and eat every herb of the land, [even] all that the hail hath left.
Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis sị, “Setịpụ aka gị nʼala Ijipt ka igurube jupụta na ya, kpuchie ebe niile, richapụ ihe niile na-eto eto dị nʼala ahụ bụ nke ifufe na mkpụrụ mmiri ahụ hapụrụ.”
13 And Moses stretched forth his rod over the land of Egypt, and the LORD brought an east wind upon the land all that day, and all [that] night: [and] when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts.
Ya mere, Mosis setịpụrụ mkpanaka ya nʼelu ala Ijipt, Onyenwe anyị mere ka ifufe nke si nʼebe anyanwụ si awa fee nʼụbọchị ahụ niile na abalị ahụ niile. Nʼụtụtụ ya, ifufe ahụ si nʼebe anyanwụ si awa bubatara igurube ndị ahụ.
14 And the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested in all the borders of Egypt: very grievous [were they]; before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after them will be such.
Ha niile kpuchichara ala Ijipt niile, site nʼotu akụkụ ruo nʼakụkụ nke ọzọ. Nke a bụ mbata igurube kachasị ibe ya njọ nʼIjipt. Ijipt agaghị enwekwa nke dịka ya ọzọ.
15 For they covered the face of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened; and they ate every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left: and there remained not any green thing on the trees, or in the herbs of the field, through all the land of Egypt.
Ha kpuchiri ala niile ruo mgbe ọchịchịrị gbachiri ya. Ha richapụrụ ihe niile na-eto nʼubi, na mkpụrụ niile na-amị nʼosisi, bụ nke ifufe na mkpụrụ mmiri ukwu ahụ hapụrụ. Nʼikpeazụ, ọ dịghị ahịhịa ndụ fọdụrụ nʼala ma nʼelu osisi nʼIjipt niile.
16 Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste; and he said, I have sinned against the LORD your God, and against you.
Na-atụfughị oge, Fero ziri ozi ka a kpọọ Mosis na Erọn. Mgbe ha bịara, ọ gwara ha sị, “Emehiela m megide unu na Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke unu.
17 Now therefore forgive, I pray thee, my sin only this once, and entreat the LORD your God that he may take away from me this death only.
Biko gbagharakwa m mmehie nke a, ma rịọọ Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke unu ka o wepụrụ m ọnwụ nke a. Ekwere m nkwa na agaghị m ajụkwa ọzọ ka unu laa.”
18 And he went out from Pharaoh, and entreated the LORD.
Mosis hapụrụ Fero pụọ gaa kpeere Onyenwe anyị ekpere.
19 And the LORD turned a mighty strong west wind which took away the locusts, and cast them into the Red sea: there remained not one locust in all the borders of Egypt.
Ngwangwa, Onyenwe anyị zitere ikuku nke si nʼebe anyanwụ na-ada bịa, nke bupụrụ igurube ndị ahụ site nʼala Ijipt, buba ha nʼOsimiri Uhie. Ọ dịkwaghị otu igurube fọdụrụ nʼala Ijipt niile.
20 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go.
Ma Onyenwe anyị mere ka obi Fero sie ike, o kweghị ka ụmụ Izrel gaa fee Chineke ofufe.
21 And the LORD said to Moses, Stretch out thy hand towards heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness [which] may be felt.
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis sị, “Setịpụ aka gị abụọ nʼeluigwe ka ọchịchịrị gbaa nʼala Ijipt niile.”
22 And Moses stretched forth his hand towards heaven: and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days:
Mosis setịpụrụ aka ya nʼeluigwe. Oke ọchịchịrị gbara abalị atọ nʼala Ijipt niile.
23 They saw not one another, neither rose any from his place for three days: but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.
Ndị Ijipt ahụghị ihu ibe ha. Ha ahapụghịkwa ebe obibi ha abalị atọ ahụ. Ma ụmụ Izrel nwere ìhè nʼebe niile ha bi.
24 And Pharaoh called to Moses, and said, Go ye, serve the LORD; only let your flocks and your herds be stayed: let your little ones also go with you.
Mgbe ahụ, Fero kpọrọ Mosis sị ya, “Gaanụ fee Onyenwe anyị unu ofufe. Unu na ndị inyom na ụmụ unu nwere ike ịga, ma unu ga-ahapụ igwe ehi unu na igwe anụ ụlọ unu gaa.”
25 And Moses said, Thou must give us also sacrifices, and burnt-offerings, that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God.
Mosis zara, “Ị ghaghị ịhapụ anyị ka anyị were ihe aja na aja nsure ọkụ, nke anyị chee nʼihu Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị.
26 Our cattle also shall go with us; there shall not a hoof be left behind; for of them must we take to serve the LORD our God; and we know not with what we must serve the LORD, until we come thither.
Igwe anụ ụlọ anyị ga-esoro anyị. O nweghị ihe ọ bụla anyị ga-ahapụ nʼihi na anyị ga-eji ụfọdụ nʼime ha fee Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị ofufe. Ọ bụkwa naanị mgbe anyị ruru nʼebe ahụ ka anyị nwere ike ịmata ihe anyị ga-eji fee Onyenwe anyị anyị ofufe.”
27 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he would not let them go.
Ma Onyenwe anyị mere ka obi Fero sie ike. O kweghị ka ha laa.
28 And Pharaoh said to him, Depart from me, take heed to thyself, see my face no more: for in [that] day thou seest my face, thou shalt die.
Fero gwara Mosis sị, “Si nʼihu m pụọ. Lezie anya hụ na ị bịaghị nʼihu m ọzọ. Ụbọchị ọbụla ị nwara bịa nʼihu m, onye nwụrụ anwụ ka ị ga-abụ.”
29 And Moses said, Thou hast spoken well, I will see thy face again no more.
Mosis zaghachiri Fero sị, “Ihe i kwuru dị mma, agaghị m abịakwa nʼihu gị ọzọ.”
