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 said to Moses, Go in to Pharao, and you shall say to him, These things says the Lord: send forth my people, that they may serve me.

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

And if you will not send them forth, behold, I afflict all your 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 teem with frogs, and they shall go up and enter into your houses, and into your bed-chambers, and upon your beds, and upon the houses of your servants, and of your people and on your dough, and on your ovens.

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

And upon you, and upon your servants, and upon your people, shall the frogs come up.

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 to Moses, Say to Aaron your brother, Stretch forth with the hand your rod over the rivers, and over the canals, and over the pools, and bring up the frogs.

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

And Aaron stretched forth his hand over the waters of Egypt, and brought up the frogs: and the frog was brought 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 charmers of the Egyptians also did likewise with their sorceries, and brought up the frogs on 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.”

And Pharao called Moses and Aaron, and said, Pray for me to the Lord, and let him take away the frogs from me and from my people; and I will send them away, and they shall sacrifice to 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 to Pharao, Appoint me [a time] when I shall pray for you, and for your servants, and for your people, to cause the frogs to disappear from you, and from your people, and from your houses, only in the river shall they be left behind.

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, On the morrow: he said therefore, As you has said; that you may know, that there is no other [God] but the Lord.

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 be removed away from you, and from your houses and from the villages, and from your servants, and from your people, only in the river they shall be left.

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

And Moses and Aaron went forth from Pharao, and Moses cried to the Lord concerning the restriction of the frogs, as Pharao appointed him.

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 as Moses said, and the frogs died out of the houses, and out of the villages, 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.

And when Pharao saw that there was relief, his heart was hardened, and he did not listen to them, as the Lord spoke.

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 to Moses, Say to Aaron, Stretch forth your rod with your hand and strike the dust of the earth; and there shall be lice both upon man, and upon quadrupeds, and in 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.

So Aaron stretched out his rod with his hand, and struck the dust of the earth; and the lice were on men and on quadrupeds, and in all the dust of the earth there were lice.

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 charmers also did so with their sorceries, to bring forth the louse, and they could not. And the lice were both on the men and on the quadrupeds.

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.

So the charmers said to Pharao, This is the finger of God. But the heart of Pharao was hardened, and he listened not to them, as the Lord said.

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 to Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharao: and behold, he will go forth to the water, and you shall say to him, These things says the Lord: Send away my people, that they may serve me in the wilderness.

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.

And if you will not let my people go, behold, I send upon you, and upon your servants, and upon your people, and upon your houses, the dog-fly; and the houses of the Egyptians shall be filled with the dog-fly, even throughout the land upon which 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 distinguish marvelously in that day the land of Gesem, on which my people dwell, in which the dog-fly shall not be: that you may know that I am the Lord the God of all the earth.

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

And I will put a difference between my people and your people, and on the morrow shall this be on the land. And the Lord did thus.

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 dog-fly came in abundance into the houses of Pharao, and into the houses of his servants, and into all the land of Egypt; and the land was destroyed by the dog-fly.

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

And Pharao called Moses and Aaron, saying, Go and sacrifice to the Lord 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 can’t be so, for we shall sacrifice to the Lord our God the abominations of the Egyptians; for if we sacrifice the abominations of the Egyptians before them, we shall be stoned.

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

We will go a journey of three days into the wilderness, and we will sacrifice to the Lord our God, as the Lord said to us.

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

And Pharao said, I [will] let you go, and do you sacrifice to your God in the wilderness, but do not go very far away: pray then for me to the Lord.

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, I then will go forth from you and pray to God, and the dog-fly shall depart both from your servants, and from your people to-morrow. Do not you, Pharao, deceive again, so as not to send the people away to do sacrifice to the Lord.

30 Musa agĩkiuma harĩ Firaũni, akĩhooya Jehova,

And Moses went out from Pharao, and prayed to God.

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 as Moses said, and removed the dog-fly from Pharao, and from his servants, and from his people, and there was not one left.

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

And Pharao hardened his heart, even on this occasion, and he would not send the people away.
