< 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 spoke to Moses, saying, Go in to Pharao: for I have hardened his heart and the heart of his servants, that these signs may come upon them; in order
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.”
that you may relate in the ears of your children, and to your children's children, in how many things I have mocked the Egyptians, and my wonders which I wrought among them; and you shall 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.
And Moses and Aaron went in before Pharao, and they said to him, These things says the Lord God of the Hebrews, How long do you refuse to reverence me? Send my people away, that they may serve me.
4 Warega kũmarekereria-rĩ, rũciũ nĩngarehithia ngigĩ bũrũri ũyũ wanyu.
But if you will not send my people away, behold, at this hour to-morrow I will bring an abundance of locusts upon all your 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.
And they shall cover the face of the earth, and you shall not be able to see the earth; and they shall devour all that is left of the abundance of the earth, which the hail has left you, and shall devour every tree that grows for you on the land.
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 your houses shall be filled, and the houses of your servants, and all the houses in all the land of the Egyptians; things which your fathers have never seen, nor their forefathers, from the day that they were upon the earth until this day. And Moses turned away and departed 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 the servants of Pharao say to him, How long shall this be a snare to us? send away the men, that they may serve their God; will you 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 they brought back both Moses and Aaron to Pharao; and he said to them, Go and serve the Lord your God; but who are they that are going with you?
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 the young and the old, with our sons, and daughters, and sheep, and oxen, for it is a feast of the Lord.
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 let the Lord be with you: as I [will] send you away, [must I send away] you store also? see that evil is attached to 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, but let the men go and serve God, for this you yourselves seek; and they cast them out from the presence of Pharao.
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 out your hand over the land of Egypt, and let the locust come up on the land, and it shall devour every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees, which the hail 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 lifted up his rod towards heaven, and the Lord brought a south wind upon the earth, all that day and all that night: the morning dawned, and the south wind brought 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 brought them up over all the land of Egypt. And they rested in very great abundance over all the borders of Egypt. Before them there were not such locusts, neither after them shall there be.
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 face of the earth, and the land was wasted, and they devoured all the herbage of the land, and all the fruit of the trees, which was left by the hail: there was no green thing left on the trees, nor on all the herbage of the field, in all the land of Egypt.
16 Nake Firaũni agĩĩta Musa na Harũni narua, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Nĩnjĩhĩirie Jehova Ngai wanyu, o na inyuĩ nĩndĩmwĩhĩirie.
And Pharao hasted to call Moses and Aaron, saying, I have sinned before the Lord your God, and against you;
17 Rĩu ndekerai mehia makwa o rĩngĩ na mũhooe Jehova Ngai wanyu anjehererie mũthiro ũyũ mũũru.”
pardon therefore my sin yet this time, and pray to the Lord your God, and let him take away from me this death.
18 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Musa akĩeherera Firaũni agĩthiĩ akĩhooya Jehova.
And Moses went forth from Pharao, and prayed to God.
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 the Lord brought in the opposite direction a strong wind from the sea, and took up the locusts and cast them into the Red Sea, and there was not one locust left in all the land of Egypt.
20 No Jehova akĩũmia ngoro ya Firaũni, nake akĩrega kũrekereria andũ a Isiraeli mathiĩ.
And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharao, and he did not send away the children of Israel.
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 your hand to heaven, and let there be darkness over the land of Egypt—darkness that 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 out his hand to heaven, and there was darkness very black, even a storm over 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.
And for three days no man saw his brother, and no man rose up from his bed for three days: but all the children of Israel had light in all the places where they were.
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, saying, Go, serve the Lord your God, only leave your sheep and your oxen, and let your store depart with you.
25 No Musa akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “No nginya ũtwĩtĩkĩrie tũkarutĩre Jehova Ngai witũ magongona na maruta ma njino.
And Moses said, Nay, but you shall give to us whole burnt offerings and sacrifices, which we will sacrifice 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.”
And our cattle shall go with us, and we will not leave a hoof behind, for of them we will take to serve the Lord our God: but we know not in what manner we shall serve the Lord our God, until we arrive there.
27 No Jehova akĩũmia ngoro ya Firaũni, nake akĩrega kũmarekereria mathiĩ.
But the Lord hardened the heart of Pharao, 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 says, Depart from me, beware of seeing my face again, for in what day you shall appear before me, you shall die.
29 Musa akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “O ta ũguo woiga, ndigooka mbere yaku rĩngĩ.”
And Moses says, You have said, I will not appear in your presence again.
