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: Go in to Pharao; for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants: that I may work 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 thou mayest tell in the ears of thy sons, and of they grandsons, how often I have plagued the Egyptians, and wrought my signs amongst them: and 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 went in to Pharao, and said to him: Thus saith the Lord God of the Hebrews: How long refusest thou to submit to me? let my people go, to sacrifice to me.
4 Warega kũmarekereria-rĩ, rũciũ nĩngarehithia ngigĩ bũrũri ũyũ wanyu.
But if thou resist, and wilt not let them go, behold I will bring in tomorrow the locust into thy coasts:
5 Ikaiyũra thĩ, imĩhumbĩre yage kuoneka. Nĩikarĩa kĩrĩa gĩothe gĩtigĩtio nĩ mbura ya mbembe, o na irĩe mĩtĩ yothe ĩrĩa ĩrakũra mĩgũnda-inĩ yanyu.
To cover the face of the earth that nothing thereof may appear, but that which the hail hath left may be eaten: for they shall feed upon all the trees that spring 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 shall fill thy houses, and the houses of thy servants, and of all the Egyptians: such a number as thy fathers have not seen, nor thy grandfathers, from the time they were first upon the earth, until this present day. And he turned himself away, and went forth from Pharao.
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 Pharao’s servants said to him: How long shall we endure this scandal? let the men go to sacrifice to the Lord their God. Dost thou not see that Egypt is undone?
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 Pharao: and he said to them: Go, sacrifice to the Lord your God: who are they that 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.”
Moses said: We will go with our young and old, with our sons and daughters, with our sheep and herds: for it is the 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 Pharao answered: So be the Lord with you, as I shall let you and your children go: who can doubt but that you intend some great evil?
11 Aca! Thiĩi o arũme oiki, mũthiĩ mũhooe Jehova, nĩgũkorwo ũguo nĩguo mũkoretwo mũkĩenda.” Nao Musa na Harũni makĩingatwo, makĩehera mbere ya Firaũni.
It shall not be so: but go ye men only, and sacrifice to the Lord: for this yourselves also desired. And immediately they were cast out from Pharao’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 the Lord said to Moses: Stretch forth thy hand upon the land of Egypt unto the locust, that it may come upon it, and devour every herb that is left after 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 stretched forth his rod upon the land of Egypt: and the Lord brought a burning wind all that day, and night: and when it was morning, the burning wind raised 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 came up over the whole land of Egypt: and rested in all the coasts of the Egyptians innumerable, the like as had not been before that time, nor shall be hereafter.
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 whole face of the earth, wasting all things. And the grass of the earth was devoured, and what fruits soever were on the trees, which the hail had left: and there remained not any thing that was green on the trees, or in the herbs of the earth in all Egypt.
16 Nake Firaũni agĩĩta Musa na Harũni narua, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Nĩnjĩhĩirie Jehova Ngai wanyu, o na inyuĩ nĩndĩmwĩhĩirie.
Wherefore Pharao in haste called Moses and Aaron, and 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 forgive me my sin this time also, and pray to the Lord your God, that he take away from me this death.
18 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Musa akĩeherera Firaũni agĩthiĩ akĩhooya Jehova.
And Moses going forth from the presence of Pharao, 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 made a very strong wind to blow from the west, and it took the locusts and cast them into the Red Sea: there remained not so much as one in all the coasts of Egypt.
20 No Jehova akĩũmia ngoro ya Firaũni, nake akĩrega kũrekereria andũ a Isiraeli mathiĩ.
And the Lord hardened Pharao’s heart, neither did he let the children of Israel go.
21 Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Tambũrũkia guoko ũkũroretie igũrũ matu-inĩ nĩgeetha nduma ĩiyũre bũrũri wa Misiri, nduma ĩngĩhutĩka.”
And the Lord said to Moses: Stretch out they hand towards heaven: and may there be darkness upon the land of Egypt, so thick that it 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 stretch forth his hand towards heaven: and there came horrible darkness in all the 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 man saw his brother, nor moved himself out of the place where he was: but wheresoever the children of Israel dwelt 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 Pharao called Moses and Aaron, and said to them: Go sacrifice to the Lord: let your sheep only, and herds remain; let your children go with you.
25 No Musa akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “No nginya ũtwĩtĩkĩrie tũkarutĩre Jehova Ngai witũ magongona na maruta ma njino.
Moses said: Thou shalt give us also sacrifices and burnt offerings, 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 go with us: there shall not a hoof remain of them: for they are necessary for the service of the Lord our God: especially as we know not what must be offered, till we come to the very place.
27 No Jehova akĩũmia ngoro ya Firaũni, nake akĩrega kũmarekereria mathiĩ.
And the Lord hardened Pharao’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 Pharao said to Moses: Get thee from me, and beware thou see not my face any more: in what day soever thou shalt come in my sight, thou shalt die.
29 Musa akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “O ta ũguo woiga, ndigooka mbere yaku rĩngĩ.”
Moses answered: So shall it be as thou hast spoken, I will not see thy face any more.
