1 Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ kũrĩ Firaũni, nĩgũkorwo nĩnyũmĩtie ngoro yake na ngoro cia anene ake nĩgeetha ninge ciama ici ciakwa gatagatĩ-inĩ kao;
And Jehovah said to Moses, Go in to Pharaoh, for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I may show these my signs in the midst of them,
2 nĩguo mũkeeraga ciana cianyu na ciana ciacio ũrĩa ndokĩrĩire andũ a Misiri, na ũrĩa ndaringire ciama ciakwa gatagatĩ-inĩ kao, nĩguo mũmenye atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.”
and that thou may tell in the ears of thy son, and of thy son's son, what things I have wrought upon Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them, that ye may know that I am Jehovah.
3 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa na Harũni magĩthiĩ kũrĩ Firaũni makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Jehova Ngai wa Ahibirania ekuuga ũũ: ‘Ũgũikara nginya rĩ ũregete kũnjĩnyiihĩria? Rekereria andũ akwa mathiĩ, nĩgeetha makandungatĩre.
And Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and said to him, Thus says Jehovah, the God of the Hebrews, How long will thou refuse to humble thyself before me? Let my people go, that they may serve me.
4 Warega kũmarekereria-rĩ, rũciũ nĩngarehithia ngigĩ bũrũri ũyũ wanyu.
Else, if thou refuse to let my people go, behold, tomorrow I will bring locusts into thy border.
5 Ikaiyũra thĩ, imĩhumbĩre yage kuoneka. Nĩikarĩa kĩrĩa gĩothe gĩtigĩtio nĩ mbura ya mbembe, o na irĩe mĩtĩ yothe ĩrĩa ĩrakũra mĩgũnda-inĩ yanyu.
And they shall cover the face of the earth, so that no man is able to see the ground. And they shall eat the residue of that which is escaped, which remains to you from the hail, and shall eat every tree which grows for you out of the field.
6 Ikaiyũra nyũmba ciaku, na cia anene aku, na cia andũ othe a Misiri, ũndũ maithe manyu kana maguuka manyu matarĩ mona kuuma rĩrĩa mambĩrĩirie gũtũũra bũrũri ũyũ nginya rĩu.’” Nake Musa akĩgarũrũka akĩeherera Firaũni.
And thy houses shall be filled, and the houses of all thy servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians, as neither thy fathers nor thy fathers' fathers have seen, since the day that they were upon the earth to this day. And he turned, and went out from Pharaoh.
7 Anene a Firaũni makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩ nginya rĩ mũndũ ũyũ egũtũũra arĩ mũtego harĩ ithuĩ? Rekereria andũ aya mathiĩ, nĩgeetha makahooe Jehova Ngai wao. Ndũramenya atĩ bũrũri wa Misiri nĩwanangĩtwo?”
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 Jehovah their God. Do thou not yet know that Egypt is destroyed?
8 Musa na Harũni magĩcookio kũrĩ Firaũni. Nake akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Thiĩi mũkahooe Jehova Ngai wanyu; no rĩrĩ, nĩ arĩkũ megũthiĩ?”
And Moses and Aaron were brought again to Pharaoh. And he said to them, Go, serve Jehovah your God, but who are those who shall go?
9 Musa akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Tũgũthiĩ na andũ aitũ arĩa ethĩ o na arĩa akũrũ, tũthiĩ na aanake na airĩtu aitũ, na tũthiĩ na ũhiũ witũ wothe, tondũ tũrathiĩ gũkũngũĩra Jehova na iruga inene.”
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 Jehovah.
10 Firaũni akiuga atĩrĩ, “Hĩ! Kaĩ Jehova arogĩikara na inyuĩ ingĩmũrekereria mũthiĩ na atumia anyu na ciana cianyu-ĩ! Hatirĩ nganja mũrĩ na muoroto mũũru.
And he said to them, So be Jehovah with you, as I will let you go, and your little ones. Look, evil is before you.
11 Aca! Thiĩi o arũme oiki, mũthiĩ mũhooe Jehova, nĩgũkorwo ũguo nĩguo mũkoretwo mũkĩenda.” Nao Musa na Harũni makĩingatwo, makĩehera mbere ya Firaũni.
Not so. Go ye now who are men, and serve Jehovah, for that is what ye desire. And they were driven out from Pharaoh's presence.
12 Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Tambũrũkia guoko gwaku igũrũ rĩa bũrũri wa Misiri nĩgeetha ngigĩ ciũke ciyũre bũrũri ũyũ wothe, nacio irĩe kĩndũ gĩothe kĩrakũra mĩgũnda-inĩ, kĩrĩa gĩothe gĩatigirio nĩ mbura ya mbembe.”
And Jehovah said to Moses, Stretch out thy hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up upon the land of Egypt, and eat every herb of the land, even all that the hail has left.
13 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa agĩtambũrũkia rũthanju rwake igũrũ rĩa bũrũri wa Misiri, nake Jehova agĩtũma rũhuho ruumĩte irathĩro rũhurutane kũu bũrũri ũcio mũthenya wothe na ũtukũ wothe. Gũgĩkinya rũciinĩ rũhuho rũu nĩ rwarehete ngigĩ.
And Moses stretched forth his rod over the land of Egypt, and Jehovah brought an east wind upon the land all that day, and all the night, and when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts.
14 Nacio ngigĩ icio ikĩhithũkĩra bũrũri wa Misiri wothe na igĩikara kũndũ guothe bũrũri-inĩ irĩ nyingĩ mũno. Mbere ĩyo gũtiagĩte mũthiro wa ngigĩ ta ũcio na gũtikagĩa ũngĩ ta ũcio.
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 shall be such.
15 Ikĩhumbĩra thĩ yothe o nginya ĩkĩira. Ikĩrĩa kĩrĩa gĩothe gĩatigarĩtio nĩ mbura ya mbembe, kĩrĩa gĩothe gĩakũraga mĩgũnda o na matunda marĩa maarĩ mĩtĩ-inĩ. Gũtirĩ kĩndũ kĩigũ gĩatigarire mũtĩ-inĩ kana mũmera bũrũri-inĩ wothe wa Misiri.
For they covered the face of the whole ground, 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, either tree nor herb of the field, through all the land of Egypt.
16 Nake Firaũni agĩĩta Musa na Harũni narua, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Nĩnjĩhĩirie Jehova Ngai wanyu, o na inyuĩ nĩndĩmwĩhĩirie.
Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste, and he said, I have sinned against Jehovah your God, and against you.
17 Rĩu ndekerai mehia makwa o rĩngĩ na mũhooe Jehova Ngai wanyu anjehererie mũthiro ũyũ mũũru.”
Now therefore forgive, I pray thee, my sin only this once, and entreat Jehovah your God, that he may only take away from me this death.
18 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Musa akĩeherera Firaũni agĩthiĩ akĩhooya Jehova.
And he went out from Pharaoh, and entreated Jehovah.
19 Nake Jehova akĩgarũra rũhuho, akĩrũtua rũhuho rũnene rwa kuuma ithũĩro, naruo rũkĩũmbũra ngigĩ icio, rũgĩcitwara Iria-inĩ Itune. Gũtirĩ gakigĩ o na kamwe gaatigarire bũrũri wa Misiri.
And Jehovah turned an exceedingly strong west wind, which took up the locusts, and drove them into the Red Sea. There remained not one locust in all the border of Egypt.
20 No Jehova akĩũmia ngoro ya Firaũni, nake akĩrega kũrekereria andũ a Isiraeli mathiĩ.
But Jehovah hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he did not let the sons of Israel go.
21 Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Tambũrũkia guoko ũkũroretie igũrũ matu-inĩ nĩgeetha nduma ĩiyũre bũrũri wa Misiri, nduma ĩngĩhutĩka.”
And Jehovah said to Moses, Stretch out thy hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt.
22 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa agĩtambũrũkia guoko akũroretie igũrũ matu-inĩ, nayo nduma nene ĩkĩiyũra bũrũri wa Misiri mĩthenya ĩtatũ.
And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven, and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days,
23 Gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩahotire kuona ũrĩa ũngĩ kana oime gwake handũ ha mĩthenya ĩtatũ. No andũ a Isiraeli, othe kũrĩa maikaraga kwarĩ na ũtheri.
they did not see each other, neither did anyone rise from his place for three days, but all the sons of Israel had light in their dwellings.
24 Ningĩ Firaũni agĩĩta Musa, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Thiĩi mũkahooe Jehova. O na atumia anyu na ciana no mathiĩ na inyuĩ; no rĩrĩ, mũtige ndũũru cianyu cia mbũri na cia ngʼombe.”
And Pharaoh called to Moses, and said, Go ye, serve Jehovah, only let your flocks and your herds stay. Let your little ones also go with you.
25 No Musa akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “No nginya ũtwĩtĩkĩrie tũkarutĩre Jehova Ngai witũ magongona na maruta ma njino.
And Moses said, Thou must also give into our hand sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice to Jehovah our God.
26 Ũhiũ witũ no nginya tũthiĩ naguo; gũtirĩ o na ihũngũ tũgũtiga na thuutha. No nginya tũhũthĩre imwe ciacio tũkĩhooya Jehova Ngai witũ, na tũtingĩmenya nĩ irĩkũ irĩbatarania mahooya-inĩ nginya tũkinye kũu.”
Our cattle shall also go with us, there shall not a hoof be left behind, for we must take of it to serve Jehovah our God, and we do not know with what we must serve Jehovah, until we come there.
27 No Jehova akĩũmia ngoro ya Firaũni, nake akĩrega kũmarekereria mathiĩ.
But Jehovah hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he would not let them go.
28 Firaũni akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Uma, ũnjeherere! Wĩmenyerere ndũkanooke mbere yakwa rĩngĩ! Mũthenya ũrĩa ũkoona ũthiũ wakwa, no gũkua ũgaakua.”
And Pharaoh said to him, Get thee from me. Take heed to thyself, see my face no more, for in the day thou see my face thou shall die.
29 Musa akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “O ta ũguo woiga, ndigooka mbere yaku rĩngĩ.”
And Moses said, Thou have spoken well. I will see thy face again no more.
