< Exodus 9 >
1 Then the LORD said to Moses, Go in to Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis sị ya, “Jekwuru Fero sị ya. ‘Nke a bụ ihe Onyenwe anyị Chineke ndị Hibru kwuru, “Hapụ ndị m ka ha gaa fee m.”
2 For if thou shalt refuse to let [them] go, and wilt hold them still,
Ọ bụrụ na ị jụ, ma gaa nʼihu igbochi ha,
3 Behold, the hand of the LORD is upon thy cattle which are in the field, upon the horses, upon the asses, upon the camels, upon the oxen, and upon the sheep: [there shall be] a very grievous murrain.
aka Onyenwe anyị ga-ewebata oke ọrịa na-efe efe nke ga-abịakwasị igwe anụ ụlọ unu niile dị nʼubi. Ya bụ, ịnyịnya unu, na ịnyịnya ibu unu, na ịnyịnya kamel unu, na ehi unu, na atụrụ unu na ewu unu.
4 And the LORD shall sever between the cattle of Israel, and the cattle of Egypt: and there shall nothing die of all [that] belongs to the children of Israel.
Onyenwe anyị ga-akpa oke nʼetiti anụ ụlọ ndị Ijipt na nke ndị Izrel. Nʼihi ya, o nweghị anụ ụlọ ọbụla si nʼetiti anụ ụlọ ndị Izrel ga-anwụ.’”
5 And the LORD appointed a set time, saying, To-morrow the LORD will do this thing in the land.
Onyenwe anyị ekwuola oge nke a ga-amalite sị, “Echi ka Onyenwe anyị ga-eme ihe dị otu a nʼala a.”
6 And the LORD did that thing on the morrow, and all the cattle of Egypt died: but of the cattle of the children of Israel died not one.
Nʼụtụtụ echi ya, Onyenwe anyị mere dịka o kwuru. Igwe anụ ụlọ niile dị nʼIjipt nwụrụ. Ma ọ dịghị otu nʼime anụ ụlọ ụmụ Izrel nwụrụ.
7 And Pharaoh sent, and behold, there was not one of the cattle of the Israelites dead. And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the people go.
Mgbe ahụ Fero zipụrụ ndị mmadụ ndị gara chọpụta na o nweghị otu nʼime anụ ụlọ ụmụ Izrel nwụrụ. Ma ọ bụladị mgbe ọ chọpụtara na nke a bụ eziokwu, ọ gbanweghị obi ya, ọ nọgidere jụ ikwe ka ndị Izrel laa.
8 And the LORD said to Moses and to Aaron, Take to you handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it towards heaven in the sight of Pharaoh.
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis na Erọn sị, “Sitenụ nʼekwu e ji esi nri kporo ntụ nke Mosis ga-awụli elu nʼihu Fero.
9 And it shall become small dust in all the land of Egypt, and shall be a boil breaking forth [with] blains upon man, and upon beast, throughout all the land of Egypt.
Ntụ ahụ ga-efesasị, dịka uzuzu nʼala Ijipt niile. Ọ ga-ebute etuto nke ga-aghọ ọnya nʼahụ ndị mmadụ na ụmụ anụmanụ dị iche iche dị nʼala ahụ niile.”
10 And they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it towards heaven; and it became a boil breaking forth [with] blains upon man, and upon beast.
Mosis na Erọn kpooro ntụ gaa guzo nʼihu Fero. Mgbe Fero nọ na-ele anya Mosis wụliri ntụ ahụ elu. Ọ ghọrọ etuto, nke gbawara ghọọ ọnya nʼahụ ụmụ mmadụ na ụmụ anụmanụ niile.
11 And the magicians could not stand before Moses, because of the boil: for the boil was upon the magicians, and upon all the Egyptians.
Ndị majiki Ijipt enweghị ike iguzo nʼihu Mosis, nʼihi etuto ndị jupụtara ha nʼahụ dịka ọ dị nʼahụ ndị Ijipt ndị ọzọ.
12 And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he hearkened not to them; as the LORD had spoke to Moses.
Ma Onyenwe anyị mere ka obi Fero sie ike. Ọ jụrụ ige Mosis na Erọn ntị dịka Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis na ọ ga-eme.
13 And the LORD said to Moses, Rise early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and say to him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis ọzọ sị, “Bilie nʼisi ụtụtụ echi gaa gwa Fero okwu sị ya, ‘Nke a bụ ihe Onyenwe anyị Chineke ndị Hibru kwuru, Hapụ ndị m ka ha gaa fee m ofufe.
14 For I will at this time send all my plagues upon thy heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people: that thou mayest know that [there is] none like me in all the earth.
Ma ọ bụghị ya, nʼoge a, aga m ezite ọrịa ọjọọ niile nke na-efe efe, ka ha bịakwasị gị, na ndị na-ejere gị ozi, na ndị Ijipt niile. Nke a ga-eme ka unu ghọta na ọ dịghị Onye ọzọ dịka m nʼelu ụwa niile.
15 For now I will stretch out my hand, that I may smite thee and thy people with pestilence; and thou shalt be cut off from the earth.
Nʼihi na tupu oge a, agaara m esetipụ aka m, jiri ajọ ọrịa tie gị na ndị gị niile nke ga-egbuchapụ unu site nʼelu ụwa.
16 And in very deed for this [cause] have I raised thee up, to show [in] thee my power; and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth.
Ma ọ bụ nʼihi nke a ka m ji guzobe gị, ka m gosipụta ike m nʼebe ịnọ, ka e nwe ike kwusaa aha m nʼụwa niile.
17 As yet dost thou exalt thyself against my people, that thou wilt not let them go?
Ma ị nọ na-ebuli onwe gị elu megide ndị m, jụ na ha agaghị ala.
18 Behold, to-morrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as hath not been in Egypt since its foundation even until now.
Ya mere, nʼoge dịka oge a echi, aga m ezipu oke ifufe nke ya na akụmmiri igwe so nʼala Ijipt niile. Ụdị ifufe a adịbeghị mbụ nʼala Ijipt, malite nʼoge a tọrọ ntọala ya rute ugbu a.
19 Send therefore now, [and] gather thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field: [for upon] every man and beast which shall be found in the field, and shall not be brought home, the hail shall come down upon them, and they shall die.
Ya mere, nye iwu ka a gaa ngwangwa nʼubi unu webata anụ ụlọ unu na ihe ndị ọzọ unu nwere nʼebe a ga-echebe ha, nʼihi na oke ifufe nke ya na mkpụrụ mmiri so ga-egbu mmadụ na anụ ụlọ ọbụla a hapụrụ nʼezi.’”
20 He that feared the word of the LORD, among the servants of Pharaoh, made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses:
Ụfọdụ ndị na-ejere Fero ozi, ndị na-atụ okwu Onyenwe anyị egwu mere ngwangwa gaa dulata anụ ụlọ ha, na ndị ohu ha.
21 And he that regarded not the word of the LORD, left his servants and his cattle in the field.
Ma ndị ahụ na-enweghị nrube isi nye okwu Onyenwe anyị hapụrụ ndị ohu ha nakwa anụ ụlọ ha nʼọhịa.
22 And the LORD said to Moses, Stretch forth thy hand towards heaven, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, upon man, and upon beast, and upon every herb of the field, throughout the land of Egypt.
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis, “Setịpụ aka gị nʼeluigwe. Nke a ga-eme ifufe nke ya na mkpụrụ mmiri so malite izokwasị ala Ijipt niile, na ụmụ mmadụ, na anụmanụ, na ihe niile a kụrụ nʼubi nʼIjipt.”
23 And Moses stretched forth his rod towards heaven, and the LORD sent thunder and hail, and the fire ran along upon the ground: and the LORD rained hail upon the land of Egypt.
Mgbe Mosis setịpụrụ mkpanaka ya nʼihu eluigwe, Onyenwe anyị zidatara egbe eluigwe na oke ifufe nke ya na mkpụrụ mmiri so. Amụma egbe eluigwe chakwara nʼala. Ya mere, Onyenwe anyị zidatara oke ifufe nke ya na mkpụrụ mmiri so nʼala Ijipt.
24 So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as there had been none like it in all the land of Egypt, since it became a nation.
Mkpụrụ mmiri dara, amụma gbukwara nʼihu nakwa nʼazụ. Nʼezie, ọ bụ oke ifufe dị njọ, ụdị nke a na-ahụtụbeghị nʼala Ijipt kemgbe ọ ghọrọ nnukwu mba.
25 And the hail smote, throughout all the land of Egypt, all that [was] in the field, both man and beast, and the hail smote every herb of the field and broke every tree of the field.
Mkpụrụ mmiri ahụ tigburu ihe niile dị nʼọhịa, ma mmadụ ma anụmanụ niile dị nʼala Ijipt. O feturu ihe niile na-epu nʼubi, ma ahịhịa niile dị nʼosisi.
26 Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel [were], there was no hail.
Ma akụkụ ebe mkpụrụ mmiri ndị a na-erughị bụ naanị Goshen, ebe ụmụ Izrel bi.
27 And Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and said to them, I have sinned this time: the LORD [is] righteous, and I and my people [are] wicked.
Mgbe ahụ Fero ziri ozi ka a kpọ Mosis na Erọn. O kwupụtara nʼihu ha sị, “Nʼoge a, emehiela m. Onyenwe anyị bụ onye ezi omume, mụ na ndị m bụ ndị mejọrọ.
28 Entreat the LORD (for [it is] enough) that there be no [more] mighty thunderings and hail; and I will let you go, and ye shall stay no longer.
Kpee ekpere rịọọ Onyenwe anyị nʼihi na oke mkpụrụ mmiri na egbe eluigwe a ezuola. Aga m ekwe ka unu gaa, unu agaghị atụfukwa mgbe.”
29 And Moses said to him, As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will spread abroad my hands to the LORD; [and] the thunder shall cease, neither shall there be any more hail; that thou mayest know how that the earth [is] the LORD'S.
Mosis gwara Fero sị ya, “Mgbe m si nʼobodo a pụọ, aga m esetipụ aka m nʼebe Onyenwe anyị nọ, egbe eluigwe a, na ifufe a nke ya na mkpụrụ mmiri so ga-akwụsịkwa. Site na nke a, ị ga-amata na ụwa niile bụ nke Onyenwe anyị.
30 But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye will not yet fear the LORD God.
Ma amaara m na gị onwe gị na ndị na-ejere gị ozi adịghị atụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke egwu.”
31 And the flax and the barley were smitten: for the barley [was] in the ear, and the flax [was] bolled.
Oke ifufe ahụ nke ya na mkpụrụ mmiri so mebiri ihe a kụrụ nʼubi, dịka flakisi na ọka balị. Nʼihi na nʼoge a, ọka balị emenyela isi, flakisi etojuokwala maa ifuru.
32 But the wheat and the rye were not smitten; for they [were] not grown up.
Ma ifufe na mmiri ukwu ahụ emebighị ọka wiiti na spelti, nʼihi na ha achabeghị.
33 And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread abroad his hands to the LORD: and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured upon the earth.
Mosis hapụrụ Fero si nʼobodo ahụ pụọ. Ọ gbasapụrụ aka ya abụọ nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, egbe eluigwe na mkpụrụ mmiri ahụ kwụsịrị. Mmiri ozuzo kwụsịkwara izo nʼala ahụ.
34 And when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders had ceased, he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he and his servants.
Mgbe Fero hụrụ na mmiri ozuzo na mkpụrụ mmiri na egbe eluigwe akwụsịla, o mehiere ọzọ. Ya na ndị na-ejere ya ozi gara nʼihu nyịchie obi ha.
35 And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, neither would he let the children of Israel go; as the LORD had spoken by Moses.
Ya mere, Fero mere ka obi ya sie ike. Ọ jụrụ ikwere ka ụmụ Izrel pụọ, dịka Onyenwe anyị gwararịị Mosis.
