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.”
And Jehovah said to Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus saith Jehovah the God of the Hebrews: Let my people go, that they may serve me.
2 Ũngĩrega kũmarekereria, na ũthiĩ na mbere kũmarigĩrĩria-rĩ,
For if thou refuse to let them go, and shalt retain them still,
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.
behold, the hand of Jehovah shall be on thy cattle which is in the field, on the horses, on the asses, on the camels, on the oxen and on the sheep, with a very grievous plague.
4 No Jehova nĩagekĩra ngũũrani gatagatĩ ka ũhiũ wa andũ a Isiraeli na andũ a Misiri, nĩgeetha gũtikagĩe nyamũ ya Mũisiraeli ĩgũkua.’”
And Jehovah will distinguish between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt; and there shall nothing die of all that the children of Israel have.
5 Jehova agĩtua ihinda, na akiuga atĩrĩ, “Rũciũ Jehova nĩageeka ũndũ ũyũ gũkũ bũrũri-inĩ.”
And Jehovah appointed a set time, saying, To-morrow will Jehovah 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 Jehovah did this thing on the following day, and all the cattle of Egypt died; but of the cattle of the children of Israel died not one.
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 behold, there was not one of the cattle of the Israelites dead. But the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, 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 Jehovah said to Moses and to Aaron, Take to yourselves handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses scatter it toward the heavens 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 shall become fine dust over all the land of Egypt, and shall become boils on man and on cattle, breaking out [with] blisters, throughout 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.
And they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it toward the heavens; and it became boils [with] blisters breaking out on man and on cattle.
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 scribes could not stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boils were on the scribes, and on all the Egyptians.
12 No Jehova akĩũmia ngoro ya Firaũni, akĩrega kũigua Musa na Harũni, o ta ũrĩa Jehova eerĩte Musa.
And Jehovah made Pharaoh's heart stubborn, and he did not hearken to them, as Jehovah had told Moses.
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 Jehovah said to Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and set thyself before Pharaoh, and say to him, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of the Hebrews: Let my people go, that they may serve me.
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 I will at this time send all my plagues to thy heart, and on thy bondmen, and on thy people; that thou mayest know that there is none 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 now shall I put forth my hand, and I will smite thee and thy people with pestilence; and thou shalt be 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.
And for this very cause have I raised thee up, to shew thee my power; and that my name may be declared in all the earth.
17 No wĩyũmĩtie kũhinyĩrĩria andũ akwa na ũkagiria mathiĩ.
Dost thou still exalt thyself against my people, that thou wilt 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.
Behold, to-morrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as hath not been in Egypt since its foundation until 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.’”
And now send, [and] secure thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field: all the men and the cattle that are found in the field, and are not brought home — on them the hail shall come down, and they shall die.
20 Anene acio a Firaũni arĩa meetigĩrĩte kiugo kĩa Jehova makĩhiũha gũtoonyia ngombo ciao na ũhiũ wao nyũmba thĩinĩ.
He that feared the word of Jehovah among the bondmen of Pharaoh made his bondmen and his cattle flee into the houses.
21 No arĩa mateetigĩrire kiugo kĩa Jehova maatigire ngombo ciao na ũhiũ wao mĩgũnda-inĩ.
But he that did not regard the word of Jehovah left his bondmen 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 Jehovah said to Moses, Stretch out thy hand toward the heavens, that there may be hail throughout the land of Egypt, upon men, and upon cattle, and upon every herb of the field in 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 stretched out his staff toward the heavens, and Jehovah gave thunder and hail; and the fire ran along the ground; and Jehovah rained hail 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.
And there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as there had been none like it in all the land of Egypt since 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 the hail smote throughout the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both men and cattle; and the hail smote every herb of the field, and broke every tree of the field.
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, was there no hail.
27 Nake Firaũni agĩĩta Musa na Harũni, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ihinda rĩĩrĩ nĩnjĩhĩtie. Jehova nĩwe wa ma; niĩ na andũ akwa nĩtũhĩtĩtie.
And Pharaoh sent, and called Moses and Aaron, and said to them, I have sinned this time: Jehovah is the righteous [one], but I and my people are the wicked [ones].
28 Hooyai Jehova, nĩgũkorwo nĩtũiganĩtie marurumĩ na mbura ya mbembe iria tuonete. Nĩngũmũrekereria mũthiĩ; mũtigũikara gũkũ rĩngĩ.”
Intreat Jehovah that it may be enough, that there be no more thunder of God and hail; and I will let you go, and ye shall stay 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 to him, When I go out of the city, I will spread out my hands to Jehovah: the thunder will cease, and there will be no more hail; that thou mayest know that the earth is Jehovah's.
30 No nĩnjũũĩ atĩ wee na anene aku mũtirĩ mũretigĩra Jehova Ngai.”
But as to thee and thy bondmen, I know that ye do not yet fear Jehovah Elohim.
31 (Ũguta na cairi nĩciathũkirio, nĩ ũndũ cairi nĩyarutĩte magira, naguo ũguta ũkaruta kĩro.
And the flax and the barley were smitten; for the barley was in the ear, and the flax was bolled.
32 No rĩrĩ, ngano o na guthemethu itiathũkirio, tondũ itiarĩ ngũrũ.)
But the wheat and the spelt were not smitten; for they were not come out into ear.
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.
And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread out his hands to Jehovah; and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not [any more] poured on the earth.
34 Rĩrĩa Firaũni onire atĩ mbura ya mbembe na marurumĩ nĩciathira akĩĩhia rĩngĩ; we na anene ake makĩũmia ngoro ciao.
And Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders had ceased, and he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he, and his bondmen.
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 stubborn, neither would he let the children of Israel go, as Jehovah had spoken by Moses.
