Thaama 8
1 Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ kũrĩ Firaũni ũmwĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova oigĩte ũũ: Rekereria andũ akwa mathiĩ, nĩgeetha makandungatĩre.
Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh and tell him, 'Yahweh says this: “Let my people go so that they may worship me.
2 Ũngĩrega kũmarekereria mathiĩ, nĩngũhũũra bũrũri waku wothe na mũthiro wa ciũra.
If you refuse to let them go, I will afflict all your country 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.
The river will swarm with frogs. They will come up and go into your house, your bedroom, and your bed. They will go into your servants' houses. They will go onto your people, into your ovens, and into your kneading bowls.
4 Ciũra icio ikũrũgĩrĩre na irũgĩrĩre andũ aku o na anene aku.’”
The frogs will attack you, your people, and all your 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.’”
Yahweh said to Moses, “Say to Aaron, 'Reach out with your hand and your staff over the rivers, the streams, and the pools, and bring the frogs up over the land of Egypt.'”
6 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Harũni agĩtambũrũkia guoko gwake igũrũ rĩa maaĩ ma bũrũri wa Misiri, nacio ciũra ikiumĩra ikĩiyũra bũrũri.
Aaron reached out with his hand over Egypt's waters, 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.
But the magicians did the same with their magic; they brought up frogs over 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, “Pray to Yahweh for him to take away the frogs from me and my people. Then I will let the people go, that they may sacrifice to him.”
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.”
Moses said to Pharaoh, “You can have the privilege of telling me when I should pray for you, your servants, and your people, so that the frogs may be removed from you and your houses and stay only in the river.”
10 Firaũni akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũkaahooera rũciũ.” Nake Musa akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩgũtuĩke ũguo woiga, nĩgeetha ũmenye atĩ gũtirĩ mũndũ ũhaana ta Jehova Ngai witũ.
Pharaoh said, “Tomorrow.” Moses said, “Let it be as you say, so that you may know that there is no one like Yahweh, our God.
11 Ciũra nĩcigũkweherera na ciehere nyũmba ciaku, cieherere anene aku na andũ aku; itigare o iria irĩ rũũĩ-inĩ rwa Nili.”
The frogs will go from you, your houses, your servants, and your people. They will stay only in the river.”
12 Na rĩrĩa Musa na Harũni mehereire Firaũni, Musa agĩkaĩra Jehova ũhoro wĩgiĩ ciũra iria aarehithĩirie Firaũni.
Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh. Then Moses cried out to Yahweh concerning the frogs that he had brought on Pharaoh.
13 Nake Jehova agĩĩka o ũrĩa Musa aahooete. Ciũra iria ciarĩ nyũmba, na iria ciarĩ nja na iria ciarĩ mĩgũnda igĩkua.
Yahweh did as Moses asked: The frogs died in the houses, courts, and fields.
14 Ikĩũnganio ikĩigwo irũndo, nacio ikĩnungia bũrũri.
The people 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 relief, he hardened his heart and did not listen to Moses and Aaron, just as Yahweh had said that he would do.
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.”
Yahweh said to Moses, “Say to Aaron, 'Reach out with your staff and strike the dust on the ground, 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.
They did so: Aaron reached out with his hand and his staff. He struck the dust on the ground. Gnats came onto man and beast. All the dust on the ground became gnats throughout the whole 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.
The magicians tried with their magic to produce gnats, but they could not. There were gnats on man and 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 to Pharaoh, “This is the finger of God.” But Pharaoh's heart was hardened, so he refused to listen to them. It was just as Yahweh had said Pharaoh would do.
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.
Yahweh said to Moses, “Get up early in the morning and stand in front of Pharaoh as he goes out to the river. Say to him, 'Yahweh says this: “Let my people go so that they may worship 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.
But if you do not let my people go, I will send swarms of flies on you, your servants, and your people, and into your houses. The Egyptians' houses will be full of swarms of flies, and even the ground on which they stand will be full of flies.
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.
But on that day I will treat the land of Goshen differently, the land in which my people are living, so that no swarms of flies will be there. This will happen so that you may know that I am Yahweh in the midst of this land.
23 Nĩngekĩra ngũũrani gatagatĩ ka andũ akwa na aku. Rũciũ nĩrĩo kĩama gĩkĩ gĩgekĩka.’”
I will make a distinction between my people and your people. This sign of my power will take place tomorrow.”'”
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.
Yahweh did so, and thick swarms of flies came into Pharaoh's house and into his servants' houses. Throughout the whole land of Egypt, the land was ruined because of the swarms of flies.
25 Ningĩ Firaũni agĩĩta Musa na Harũni, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Thiĩi mũkarutĩre Ngai wanyu iruta gũkũ bũrũri-inĩ.”
Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron and said, “Go, sacrifice to your God in our own 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?
Moses said, “It is not right for us to do so, for the sacrifices we make to Yahweh our God are something disgusting to the Egyptians. If we make sacrifices right before their eyes that are disgusting to the Egyptians, will they not stone us?
27 No nginya tũthiĩ rũgendo rwa mĩthenya ĩtatũ werũ-inĩ tũkarutĩre Jehova Ngai witũ magongona, o ta ũrĩa atwathĩte.”
No, it is a three days' journey into the wilderness that we must make, in order to sacrifice to Yahweh our God, as he commands us.”
28 Firaũni akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩngũmũrekereria mũthiĩ mũkarutĩre Jehova Ngai wanyu magongona werũ-inĩ, no mũtigathiĩ kũraya mũno. Na rĩu, hooerai.”
Pharaoh said, “I will allow you to go and sacrifice to Yahweh your God in the wilderness. Only you must not go very far away. Pray 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.”
Moses said, “As soon as I go out from you, I will pray to Yahweh that the swarms of flies may leave you, Pharaoh, and your servants and people tomorrow. But you must not deal deceitfully any more by not letting our people go to sacrifice to Yahweh.”
30 Musa agĩkiuma harĩ Firaũni, akĩhooya Jehova,
Moses went out from Pharaoh and prayed to Yahweh.
31 nake Jehova agĩĩka ũrĩa Musa aamũhoire; nacio ngi ikĩeherera Firaũni, na anene ake, na andũ ake, na gũtirĩ ngi yatigarire.
Yahweh did as Moses asked; and he removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, his servants, and his people. Not one remained.
32 No rĩrĩ, o na ihinda rĩĩrĩ Firaũni akĩũmia ngoro yake akĩrega kũrekereria andũ mathiĩ.
But Pharaoh hardened his heart this time also, and he did not let the people go.
