Thaama 8

1 Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ kũrĩ Firaũni ũmwĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova oigĩte ũũ: Rekereria andũ akwa mathiĩ, nĩgeetha makandungatĩre.

And the LORD spoke unto Moses: 'Go in unto Pharaoh, and say unto him: Thus saith the LORD: Let My people go, that they may serve Me.

2 Ũngĩrega kũmarekereria mathiĩ, nĩngũhũũra bũrũri waku wothe na mũthiro wa ciũra.

And if thou refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs.

3 Rũũĩ rwa Nili rũkũiyũra ciũra. Igũũka ciambate o nginya nyũmba yaku ya ũthamaki o na nyũmba yaku ya toro o nginya ũrĩrĩ waku igũrũ, itoonye nyũmba cia anene aku, o na irũgĩrĩre andũ aku o ene, ikorwo kuo o na mariiko-inĩ maku na mĩharatĩ-inĩ ya gũkandĩrwo mũtu.

And the river shall swarm with frogs, which shall go up and come into thy house, and into thy bed-chamber, and upon thy bed, and into the house of thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thine ovens, and into thy kneading-troughs.

4 Ciũra icio ikũrũgĩrĩre na irũgĩrĩre andũ aku o na anene aku.’”

And the frogs shall come up both upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon all thy servants.'

5 Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Ĩra Harũni atĩrĩ, ‘Tambũrũkia guoko gwaku na rũthanju igũrũ rĩa tũrũũĩ, na mĩtaro, na tũmaria, ũtũme ciũra ciũke bũrũri-inĩ wa Misiri.’”

And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Say unto Aaron: Stretch forth thy hand with thy rod over the rivers, over the canals, and over the pools, and cause frogs to come up upon the land of Egypt.'

6 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Harũni agĩtambũrũkia guoko gwake igũrũ rĩa maaĩ ma bũrũri wa Misiri, nacio ciũra ikiumĩra ikĩiyũra bũrũri.

And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt.

7 No aringi ciama a bũrũri wa Misiri magĩĩka maũndũ o ta macio na ũndũ wa maũgĩ mao ma ũgo, o nao magĩtũma ciũra ciũke bũrũri wa Misiri.

And the magicians did in like manner with their secret arts, and brought up frogs upon the land of Egypt.

8 Firaũni agĩĩta Musa na Harũni, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Hooyai Jehova anjehererie na ehererie andũ akwa ciũra ici, na nĩngũrekereria andũ anyu mathiĩ makarutĩre Jehova magongona.”

Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said: 'Entreat the LORD, that He take away the frogs from me, and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may sacrifice unto the LORD.'

9 Musa akĩĩra Firaũni atĩrĩ, “Wee nĩwe ngũhe gĩtĩĩo gĩa gũtua ihinda rĩa gũkũhoera, wee na anene aku o na andũ aku nĩguo inyuĩ na nyũmba cianyu mwehererwo nĩ ciũra, itigare o iria irĩ thĩinĩ wa Rũũĩ rwa Nili.”

And Moses said unto Pharaoh: 'Have thou this glory over me; against what time shall I entreat for thee, and for thy servants, and for thy people, that the frogs be destroyed from thee and thy houses, and remain in the river only?'

10 Firaũni akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũkaahooera rũciũ.” Nake Musa akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩgũtuĩke ũguo woiga, nĩgeetha ũmenye atĩ gũtirĩ mũndũ ũhaana ta Jehova Ngai witũ.

And he said: 'Against to-morrow.' And he said: 'Be it according to thy word; that thou mayest know that there is none like unto the LORD our God.

11 Ciũra nĩcigũkweherera na ciehere nyũmba ciaku, cieherere anene aku na andũ aku; itigare o iria irĩ rũũĩ-inĩ rwa Nili.”

And the frogs shall depart from thee, and from thy houses, and from thy servants, and from thy people; they shall remain in the river only.'

12 Na rĩrĩa Musa na Harũni mehereire Firaũni, Musa agĩkaĩra Jehova ũhoro wĩgiĩ ciũra iria aarehithĩirie Firaũni.

And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh; and Moses cried unto the LORD concerning the frogs, which He had brought upon Pharaoh.

13 Nake Jehova agĩĩka o ũrĩa Musa aahooete. Ciũra iria ciarĩ nyũmba, na iria ciarĩ nja na iria ciarĩ mĩgũnda igĩkua.

And the LORD did according to the word of Moses; and the frogs died out of the houses, out of the courts, and out of the fields.

14 Ikĩũnganio ikĩigwo irũndo, nacio ikĩnungia bũrũri.

And they gathered them together in heaps; and the land stank.

15 No rĩrĩa Firaũni onire atĩ marĩkũhoorerwo nĩ thĩĩna-rĩ, akĩũmia ngoro na akĩrega kũigua Musa na Harũni, o ta ũrĩa Jehova oigĩte.

But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite, he hardened his heart, and hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had spoken.

16 Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Ĩra Harũni atĩrĩ, ‘Tambũrũkia rũthanju rwaku ũgũthe rũkũngũ rũrĩa rũrĩ thĩ,’ na bũrũri-inĩ wothe wa Misiri-rĩ, rũkũngũ rũu rũgũtuĩka rwagĩ.”

And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Say unto Aaron: Stretch out thy rod, and smite the dust of the earth, that it may become gnats throughout all the land of Egypt.'

17 Nao magĩĩka ũguo; na rĩrĩa Harũni aatambũrũkirie guoko anyiitĩte rũthanju-rĩ, agũtha rũkũngũ naguo, rwagĩ rũgĩtambĩrĩra andũ na nyamũ. Rũkũngũ ruothe bũrũri-inĩ wa Misiri rũgĩtuĩka rwagĩ.

And they did so; and Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and smote the dust of the earth, and there were gnats upon man, and upon beast; all the dust of the earth became gnats throughout all the land of Egypt.

18 No hĩndĩ ĩrĩa aringi a ciama a bũrũri wa Misiri maageririe kũrehe rwagĩ na maũgĩ mao ma ũgo-rĩ, nĩmaremirwo. Naruo rwagĩ rũgĩtambĩrĩra andũ na nyamũ.

And the magicians did so with their secret arts to bring forth gnats, but they could not; and there were gnats upon man, and upon beast.

19 Aringi acio a ciama makĩĩra Firaũni atĩrĩ, “Ũyũ nĩ hinya wa kĩara kĩa Ngai.” No Firaũni akĩũmia ngoro akĩrega kũigua, o ta ũrĩa Jehova oigĩte.

Then the magicians said unto Pharaoh: 'This is the finger of God'; and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had spoken.

20 Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Ũkĩra rũciinĩ tene, uumĩrĩre Firaũni agĩthiĩ Rũũĩ rwa Nili, ũmwĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Rekereria andũ akwa mathiĩ nĩgeetha makandungatĩre.

And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh; lo, he cometh forth to the water; and say unto him: Thus saith the LORD: Let My people go, that they may serve Me.

21 Ũngĩaga kũreka mathiĩ-rĩ, ngũkũrehera mĩrumbĩ ya ngi, ndehere anene aku na andũ aku, o na ndĩcirehe nyũmba-inĩ cianyu. Nyũmba cia andũ a Misiri ikũiyũra ngi, o na ningĩ ciyũre thĩ kũrĩa guothe marĩ.

Else, if thou wilt not let My people go, behold, I will send swarms of flies upon thee, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thy houses; and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of flies, and also the ground whereon they are.

22 “‘No rĩrĩ, mũthenya ũcio ngeeka ũndũ ũrĩ ngũrani bũrũri-inĩ wa Gosheni, kũrĩa andũ akwa matũũraga; gũtikagĩa na mĩrumbĩ ya ngi kũu, nĩgeetha ũmenye atĩ niĩ, Jehova, ndĩ bũrũri-inĩ ũyũ.

And I will set apart in that day the land of Goshen, in which My people dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there; to the end that thou mayest know that I am the LORD in the midst of the earth.

23 Nĩngekĩra ngũũrani gatagatĩ ka andũ akwa na aku. Rũciũ nĩrĩo kĩama gĩkĩ gĩgekĩka.’”

And I will put a division between My people and thy people — by to-morrow shall this sign be.'

24 Na ũguo noguo Jehova eekire. Ngi mĩrumbĩ mĩnene ikĩiyũra nyũmba ya ũthamaki ya Firaũni na igĩtoonya nyũmba cia anene ake, naguo bũrũri wa Misiri wothe ũkĩanangwo nĩ ngi icio.

And the LORD did so; and there came grievous swarms of flies into the house of Pharaoh, and into his servants' houses; and in all the land of Egypt the land was ruined by reason of the swarms of flies.

25 Ningĩ Firaũni agĩĩta Musa na Harũni, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Thiĩi mũkarutĩre Ngai wanyu iruta gũkũ bũrũri-inĩ.”

And Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said: 'Go ye, sacrifice to your God in the land.'

26 No Musa akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Gũtingĩagĩrĩra gwĩka ũguo. Magongona marĩa tũkũrutĩra Jehova Ngai witũ nĩ mekuoneka marĩ magigi nĩ andũ a Misiri. Tũngĩkĩruta magongona marĩ magigi maitho-inĩ mao-rĩ, githĩ matigũtũhũũra na mahiga nyuguto?

And Moses said: 'It is not meet so to do; for we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to the LORD our God; lo, if we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, will they not stone us?

27 No nginya tũthiĩ rũgendo rwa mĩthenya ĩtatũ werũ-inĩ tũkarutĩre Jehova Ngai witũ magongona, o ta ũrĩa atwathĩte.”

We will go three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to the LORD our God, as He shall command us.'

28 Firaũni akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩngũmũrekereria mũthiĩ mũkarutĩre Jehova Ngai wanyu magongona werũ-inĩ, no mũtigathiĩ kũraya mũno. Na rĩu, hooerai.”

And Pharaoh said: 'I will let you go, that ye may sacrifice to the LORD your God in the wilderness; only ye shall not go very far away; entreat for me.'

29 Musa agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Ndaarĩkia kuuma harĩwe, nĩngũhooya Jehova, na rũciũ ngi nĩikoima kũrĩ Firaũni na anene ake, na andũ ake. No ũkĩmenyerere atĩ Firaũni ndageke ũndũ wa kũheenania rĩngĩ, na ũndũ wa kwaga kũrekereria andũ mathiĩ makarutĩre Jehova magongona.”

And Moses said: 'Behold, I go out from thee, and I will entreat the LORD that the swarms of flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people, tomorrow; only let not Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to the LORD.'

30 Musa agĩkiuma harĩ Firaũni, akĩhooya Jehova,

And Moses went out from Pharaoh, and entreated the LORD.

31 nake Jehova agĩĩka ũrĩa Musa aamũhoire; nacio ngi ikĩeherera Firaũni, na anene ake, na andũ ake, na gũtirĩ ngi yatigarire.

And the LORD did according to the word of Moses; and He removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people; there remained not one.

32 No rĩrĩ, o na ihinda rĩĩrĩ Firaũni akĩũmia ngoro yake akĩrega kũrekereria andũ mathiĩ.

And Pharaoh hardened his heart this time also, and he did not let the people go.
