Thaama 10
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 the Lord said to Moses: “Enter to Pharaoh. For I have hardened his heart, and that of his servants, so that I may accomplish these, my signs, in him,
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 so that you may describe to the ears of your sons and your grandsons how often I opposed the Egyptians and wrought my signs among them, and so that you may know that I am the Lord.”
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.
Therefore, Moses and Aaron entered to Pharaoh, and they said to him: “Thus says the Lord God of the Hebrews: How long will you be unwilling to be subject to me? Release my people to sacrifice to me.
4 Warega kũmarekereria-rĩ, rũciũ nĩngarehithia ngigĩ bũrũri ũyũ wanyu.
But if you resist, and you are unwilling to release them, behold, tomorrow I will bring locusts into your borders.
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, lest any part of it be seen. Yes, and what remains from the hail shall be eaten. For they will gnaw away all the trees that spring up in the fields.
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 they will fill your houses, and those of your servants and of all the Egyptians: so many as your fathers and ancestors have not seen, from the time that they rose up over the earth, even until this present day.” And he turned himself away, and he departed 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?”
Then the servants of Pharaoh said to him: “How long must we endure this scandal? Release the men, in order to sacrifice to the Lord their God. Do you not see that Egypt is perishing?”
8 Musa na Harũni magĩcookio kũrĩ Firaũni. Nake akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Thiĩi mũkahooe Jehova Ngai wanyu; no rĩrĩ, nĩ arĩkũ megũthiĩ?”
And they called back Moses and Aaron to Pharaoh, who said to them: “Go, sacrifice to the Lord your God. Who are they who would 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.”
Moses said: “We will travel with our little ones and our elderly, with our sons and daughters, with our sheep and herds. For it is a solemnity of the Lord our God.”
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 Pharaoh responded: “So let the Lord be with you. But if I were to release you and your little ones, who would doubt that you intend some great wickedness?
11 Aca! Thiĩi o arũme oiki, mũthiĩ mũhooe Jehova, nĩgũkorwo ũguo nĩguo mũkoretwo mũkĩenda.” Nao Musa na Harũni makĩingatwo, makĩehera mbere ya Firaũni.
It will not be so. However, go only with the men, and sacrifice to the Lord. For this, too, is what you yourselves requested.” And immediately they were cast out from the sight of Pharaoh.
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.”
Then the Lord said to Moses: “Extend your hand over the land of Egypt, toward the locusts, so that they may rise up over it, and devour every plant which remains from the hail.”
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 extended his staff over the land of Egypt. And the Lord brought a burning wind all that day and night. And when morning came, the burning wind lifted up 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 they ascended over the entire land of Egypt. And they settled into all the parts of the Egyptians: innumerable, such as had not been before that time, nor ever would be thereafter.
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.
And they covered the entire face of the land, laying waste to all things. And the plants of the land were devoured, along with whatever fruits were on the trees, which the hail had left behind. And nothing at all of the greenery remained on the trees or on the plants of the earth in all of Egypt.
16 Nake Firaũni agĩĩta Musa na Harũni narua, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Nĩnjĩhĩirie Jehova Ngai wanyu, o na inyuĩ nĩndĩmwĩhĩirie.
For this reason, Pharaoh hurriedly called Moses and Aaron, and he said to them: “I have sinned against the Lord your God, and against you.
17 Rĩu ndekerai mehia makwa o rĩngĩ na mũhooe Jehova Ngai wanyu anjehererie mũthiro ũyũ mũũru.”
But now, release me from my sin even this time, and petition the Lord your God, so that he may take this death away from me.”
18 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Musa akĩeherera Firaũni agĩthiĩ akĩhooya Jehova.
And Moses, departing from the sight of Pharaoh, prayed to the Lord.
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 he caused a very strong wind to blow from the west, and, seizing the locusts, it cast them into the Red Sea. There remained not so much as one in all the parts of Egypt.
20 No Jehova akĩũmia ngoro ya Firaũni, nake akĩrega kũrekereria andũ a Isiraeli mathiĩ.
And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh; neither did he release the sons of Israel.
21 Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Tambũrũkia guoko ũkũroretie igũrũ matu-inĩ nĩgeetha nduma ĩiyũre bũrũri wa Misiri, nduma ĩngĩhutĩka.”
Then the Lord said to Moses: “Extend your hand into the sky. And let there be a darkness over the land of Egypt, so dense that they may be able to feel it.”
22 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa agĩtambũrũkia guoko akũroretie igũrũ matu-inĩ, nayo nduma nene ĩkĩiyũra bũrũri wa Misiri mĩthenya ĩtatũ.
And Moses extended his hand into the sky. And there came a horrible darkness in the entire land of Egypt for 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.
No one saw his brother, nor moved himself out of the place where he was. But wherever the sons of Israel were living, there was light.
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 Moses and Aaron, and he said to them: “Go, sacrifice to the Lord. Only let your sheep and herds remain behind. Your little ones may go with you.”
25 No Musa akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “No nginya ũtwĩtĩkĩrie tũkarutĩre Jehova Ngai witũ magongona na maruta ma njino.
Moses said: “You must also permit us victims and holocausts, which we may offer to the Lord 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.”
All the flocks shall travel with us. Not one hoof of them shall remain behind. For they are necessary for the worship of the Lord our God, especially since we do not know what ought to be immolated, until we arrive at the very place.”
27 No Jehova akĩũmia ngoro ya Firaũni, nake akĩrega kũmarekereria mathiĩ.
But the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he was not willing to release them.
28 Firaũni akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Uma, ũnjeherere! Wĩmenyerere ndũkanooke mbere yakwa rĩngĩ! Mũthenya ũrĩa ũkoona ũthiũ wakwa, no gũkua ũgaakua.”
And Pharaoh said to Moses: “Withdraw from me, and beware that you no longer see my face. On whatever day you will appear in my sight, you shall die.”
29 Musa akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “O ta ũguo woiga, ndigooka mbere yaku rĩngĩ.”
Moses responded: “So be it, just as you have said. I will no longer see your face.”
