< Thaama 9 >

1 Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ kũrĩ Firaũni ũkamwĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova, o we Ngai wa Ahibirania ekuuga ũũ: “Rekereria andũ akwa mathiĩ, nĩgeetha makandungatĩre.”
Then the Lord said to Moses, Go in to Pharaoh and say to him, This is what the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, says: Let my people go so that they may give me worship.
2 Ũngĩrega kũmarekereria, na ũthiĩ na mbere kũmarigĩrĩria-rĩ,
For if you will not let them go, but still keep them in your power,
3 guoko kwa Jehova nĩgũkũrehithĩria ũhiũ waku ũrĩa ũrĩ ũrĩithio-inĩ mũthiro mũũru mũno kũrĩ mbarathi cianyu na ndigiri, na ngamĩĩra, na ngʼombe cianyu, na ngʼondu na mbũri.
Then the hand of the Lord will put on your cattle in the field, on the horses and the asses and the camels, on the herds and the flocks, a very evil disease.
4 No Jehova nĩagekĩra ngũũrani gatagatĩ ka ũhiũ wa andũ a Isiraeli na andũ a Misiri, nĩgeetha gũtikagĩe nyamũ ya Mũisiraeli ĩgũkua.’”
And the Lord will make a division between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt; there will be no loss of any of the cattle of Israel.
5 Jehova agĩtua ihinda, na akiuga atĩrĩ, “Rũciũ Jehova nĩageeka ũndũ ũyũ gũkũ bũrũri-inĩ.”
And the time was fixed by the Lord, and he said, Tomorrow the Lord will do this thing in the land.
6 Na mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ Jehova agĩgĩka o ũguo: Ũhiũ wothe wa andũ a Misiri ũgĩkua, no gũtirĩ nyamũ o na ĩmwe ya Mũisiraeli yakuire.
And on the day after, the Lord did as he had said, causing the death of all the cattle of Egypt, but there was no loss of any of the cattle of Israel.
7 Firaũni agĩtũma andũ magatuĩrie ũhoro, nao makĩona atĩ gũtiarĩ nyamũ o na ĩmwe ya andũ a Isiraeli yakuĩte. No rĩrĩ, ngoro yake ndĩororoire na ndaigana kũrekereria andũ mathiĩ.
And Pharaoh sent and got word that there was no loss of any of the cattle of Israel. But the heart of Pharaoh was hard and he did not let the people go.
8 Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa na Harũni atĩrĩ, “Oyai ngundi cia mbiro kuuma riiko rĩrĩa inene, nake Musa amĩikie igũrũ mbere ya Firaũni.
And the Lord said to Moses and to Aaron, Take in your hand a little dust from the fire and let Moses send it in a shower up to heaven before the eyes of Pharaoh.
9 Mbiro ĩyo nĩĩgatuĩka rũkũngũ rũhinyu, naruo rũiyũre bũrũri wothe wa Misiri, rũcooke rũtuĩke mahũha ma ironda mĩĩrĩ-inĩ ya andũ na ya nyamũ bũrũri-inĩ ũcio wothe.”
And it will become small dust over all the land of Egypt, and will be a skin-disease bursting out in wounds on man and beast through all the land of Egypt.
10 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩkĩoya mbiro kuuma riiko inene, makĩrũgama mbere ya Firaũni. Musa akĩmĩikia igũrũ, namo mahũha ma ironda makiumĩra mĩĩrĩ-inĩ ya andũ o na ya nyamũ.
So they took some dust from the fire, and placing themselves before Pharaoh, Moses sent it out in a shower up to heaven; and it became a skin-disease bursting out on man and on beast.
11 Aringi ciama a Misiri matingĩahotire kũrũgama mbere ya Musa nĩ ũndũ wa mahũha marĩa maarĩ namo, hamwe na andũ othe a bũrũri wa Misiri.
And the wonder-workers were not able to take their places before Moses, because of the disease; for the disease was on the wonder-workers and on all the Egyptians.
12 No Jehova akĩũmia ngoro ya Firaũni, akĩrega kũigua Musa na Harũni, o ta ũrĩa Jehova eerĩte Musa.
And the Lord made Pharaoh's heart hard, and he would not give ear to them, as the Lord had said.
13 Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Ũkĩra rũciinĩ tene, ũkarũgame mbere ya Firaũni ũmwĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Ũũ nĩguo Jehova Ngai wa Ahibirania ekuuga: Rekereria andũ akwa mathiĩ, nĩgeetha makahooe,
And the Lord said to Moses, Get up early in the morning and take your place before Pharaoh, and say to him, This is what the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, says: Let my people go so that they may give me worship.
14 kana ihinda rĩĩrĩ ngũtũmĩre mĩthiro yakwa yothe ya hinya, we o hamwe na anene aku na andũ aku, nĩguo ũmenye atĩ gũtirĩ ũngĩ ũhaana ta niĩ gũkũ thĩ guothe.
For this time I will send all my punishments on yourself and on your servants and on your people; so that you may see that there is no other like me in all the earth.
15 Nĩgũkorwo nginya rĩu nĩingĩhotete gũtambũrũkia guoko gwakwa, ngakũhũũra na ngahũũra andũ aku na mũthiro ũrĩa ũngĩmũniinĩte inyuothe thĩ.
For if I had put the full weight of my hand on you and your people, you would have been cut off from the earth:
16 No ngũrũgamĩtie nĩ ũndũ wa gĩtũmi gĩkĩ kĩũmbe, atĩ nguonie hinya wakwa, na atĩ rĩĩtwa rĩakwa rĩhunjio thĩ yothe.
But, for this very reason, I have kept you from destruction, to make clear to you my power, and so that my name may be honoured through all the earth.
17 No wĩyũmĩtie kũhinyĩrĩria andũ akwa na ũkagiria mathiĩ.
Are you still uplifted in pride against my people so that you will not let them go?
18 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, rũciũ ihinda ta rĩĩrĩ ngoiria mbura ya mbembe njũru mũno, ĩtarĩ yoira ĩngĩ tayo gũkũ bũrũri wa Misiri kuuma rĩrĩa Misiri kwambĩrĩirie gũtũũrwo nginya rĩu.
Truly, tomorrow about this time I will send down an ice-storm, such as never was in Egypt from its earliest days till now.
19 Gĩathane rĩu atĩ ũhiũ waku na indo ciothe iria ũrĩ nacio mũgũnda itoonyio handũ ingĩĩgitia, tondũ mbura ĩyo ya mbembe yoirĩra mũndũ o wothe ũrĩ nja kana nyamũ ĩtarehetwo mũciĩ o yothe na ĩrĩ kũu mũgũnda no ĩgũkua.’”
Then send quickly and get in your cattle and all you have from the fields; for if any man or beast in the field has not been put under cover, the ice-storm will come down on them with destruction.
20 Anene acio a Firaũni arĩa meetigĩrĩte kiugo kĩa Jehova makĩhiũha gũtoonyia ngombo ciao na ũhiũ wao nyũmba thĩinĩ.
Then everyone among the servants of Pharaoh who had the fear of the Lord, made his servants and his cattle come quickly into the house:
21 No arĩa mateetigĩrire kiugo kĩa Jehova maatigire ngombo ciao na ũhiũ wao mĩgũnda-inĩ.
And he who gave no attention to the word of the Lord, kept his servants and his cattle in the field.
22 Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Tambũrũkia guoko ũkũroretie matu-inĩ nĩgeetha mbura ya mbembe yure bũrũri wa Misiri guothe; yurĩre andũ, na nyamũ na yurĩre kĩndũ gĩothe kĩrakũra mĩgũnda-inĩ ya bũrũri wa Misiri.”
And the Lord said to Moses, Now let your hand be stretched out to heaven so that there may be an ice-storm on all the land of Egypt, on man and on beast and on every plant of the field through all the land of Egypt.
23 Rĩrĩa Musa aatambũrũkirie rũthanju arũroretie matu-inĩ, Jehova agĩtũma kũgĩe na marurumĩ hamwe na mbura ya mbembe, naruo rũheni rũkĩhenũka thĩ. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehova akiuria mbura ya mbembe kũu bũrũri wa Misiri;
And Moses put out his rod to heaven: and the Lord sent thunder, and an ice-storm, and fire running down on the earth; the Lord sent an ice-storm on the land of Egypt.
24 mbura ya mbembe ĩgĩkiura, naruo rũheni rũkĩhenũka kũndũ guothe. Nĩkĩo kĩarĩ kĩhuhũkanio kĩrĩa kĩũru mũno kĩonekanĩte bũrũri wothe wa Misiri kuuma wambĩrĩria gũtũũrwo nĩ andũ.
So there was an ice-storm with fire running through it, coming down with great force, such as never was in all the land of Egypt from the time when it became a nation.
25 Mbura ĩyo ya mbembe ĩkiura bũrũri wothe wa Misiri, ĩkiurĩra kĩndũ gĩothe kĩarĩ mũgũnda, andũ o hamwe na nyamũ; ĩgĩthũkia kĩndũ gĩothe kĩarĩ mũgũnda na ĩgĩkahũra mĩtĩ yothe.
And through all the land of Egypt the ice-storm came down on everything which was in the fields, on man and on beast; and every green plant was crushed and every tree of the field broken.
26 Kũndũ kũrĩa mbura ĩyo ya mbembe ĩtoirire no bũrũri wa Gosheni, kũrĩa andũ a Isiraeli maarĩ.
Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, there was no ice-storm.
27 Nake Firaũni agĩĩta Musa na Harũni, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ihinda rĩĩrĩ nĩnjĩhĩtie. Jehova nĩwe wa ma; niĩ na andũ akwa nĩtũhĩtĩtie.
Then Pharaoh sent for Moses and Aaron, and said to them, I have done evil this time: the Lord is upright, and I and my people are sinners.
28 Hooyai Jehova, nĩgũkorwo nĩtũiganĩtie marurumĩ na mbura ya mbembe iria tuonete. Nĩngũmũrekereria mũthiĩ; mũtigũikara gũkũ rĩngĩ.”
Make prayer to the Lord; for there has been enough of these thunderings of God and this ice-storm; and I will let you go and will keep you no longer.
29 Musa akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ndoima itũũra rĩĩrĩ inene, nĩngũtambũrũkia moko hooe Jehova. Marurumĩ nĩmegũthira, na gũtigũkorwo na mbura ĩngĩ ya mbembe, nĩgeetha ũmenye atĩ thĩ nĩ ya Jehova.
And Moses said, When I am gone outside the town, my hands will be stretched out to the Lord; the thunders and the ice-storm will come to an end, so that you may see that the earth is the Lord's.
30 No nĩnjũũĩ atĩ wee na anene aku mũtirĩ mũretigĩra Jehova Ngai.”
But as for you and your servants, I am certain that even now the fear of the Lord God will not be in your hearts.
31 (Ũguta na cairi nĩciathũkirio, nĩ ũndũ cairi nĩyarutĩte magira, naguo ũguta ũkaruta kĩro.
And the flax and the barley were damaged, for the barley was almost ready to be cut and the flax was in flower.
32 No rĩrĩ, ngano o na guthemethu itiathũkirio, tondũ itiarĩ ngũrũ.)
But the rest of the grain-plants were undamaged, for they had not come up.
33 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Musa akĩehera harĩ Firaũni na akiuma nja ya itũũra inene. Agĩtambũrũkia moko amaroretie na kũrĩ Jehova; marurumĩ na mbura ya mbembe igĩthira, na gũtiacookire kuura.
So Moses went out of the town, and stretching out his hands made prayer to God: and the thunders and the ice-storm came to an end; and the fall of rain was stopped.
34 Rĩrĩa Firaũni onire atĩ mbura ya mbembe na marurumĩ nĩciathira akĩĩhia rĩngĩ; we na anene ake makĩũmia ngoro ciao.
But when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the ice-storm and the thunders were ended, he went on sinning, and made his heart hard, he and his servants.
35 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngoro ya Firaũni yarĩ nyũmũ na ndangĩarekereirie andũ a Isiraeli mathiĩ, o ta ũrĩa Jehova aarĩtie na kanua ka Musa.
And the heart of Pharaoh was hard, and he did not let the people go, as the Lord had said by the mouth of Moses.
