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 said Yahweh unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, —then shalt thou say unto him—Thus, saith Yahweh, God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
2 Ũngĩrega kũmarekereria, na ũthiĩ na mbere kũmarigĩrĩria-rĩ,
But, if, refusing, thou art to let them go, —and still art holding them fast,
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.
lo! the hand of Yahweh, is coming on thy cattle which are in the field, on the horses, on the asses on the camels, on the herds and on the flocks, —a very grievous pestilence;
4 No Jehova nĩagekĩra ngũũrani gatagatĩ ka ũhiũ wa andũ a Isiraeli na andũ a Misiri, nĩgeetha gũtikagĩe nyamũ ya Mũisiraeli ĩgũkua.’”
and Yahweh will make a difference between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of the Egyptians, —so that there shall not die from among all that pertaineth to the sons of Israel, a thing!
5 Jehova agĩtua ihinda, na akiuga atĩrĩ, “Rũciũ Jehova nĩageeka ũndũ ũyũ gũkũ bũrũri-inĩ.”
And Yahweh appointed a set time—saying, To-morrow, will Yahweh 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.
So Yahweh did this thing, on the morrow, and all the cattle of the Egyptians died, —but of the cattle of the sons 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 lo! there had not died of the cattle of Israel, so much as one. But Pharaoh’s heart became dull, 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.
Then said Yahweh unto Moses and unto Aaron, Take you your hands full of the ashes of an oven, —and Moses shall scatter them towards 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.”
then shall they become fine dust, over all the land of Egypt, —and shall become on man and on beast, a burning sore, breaking out in pustules in 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 the ashes of an oven and stood before Pharaoh, and Moses scattered them towards the heavens, —and it came to pass that there was a burning sore in pustules breaking out, among men, and among beasts;
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 sacred scribes could not stand before Moses, because of the burning sore, —for the burning sore had come on the sacred scribes, and on all the Egyptians.
12 No Jehova akĩũmia ngoro ya Firaũni, akĩrega kũigua Musa na Harũni, o ta ũrĩa Jehova eerĩte Musa.
But Yahweh let the heart of Pharaoh wax bold, and he hearkened not unto them, —as spake Yahweh unto 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,
Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Rise thou early in the morning, and station thyself before Pharaoh, —then shalt thou say unto him—Thus, saith Yahweh, 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 this time, am I, sending all my plagues unto thy heart, and amongst thy servants and amongst thy people, —to the intent thou mayest get to 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, might I have put forth my hand, and smitten thee and thy people with pestilence, —and thou shouldst have secretly disappeared from the earth;
16 No ngũrũgamĩtie nĩ ũndũ wa gĩtũmi gĩkĩ kĩũmbe, atĩ nguonie hinya wakwa, na atĩ rĩĩtwa rĩakwa rĩhunjio thĩ yothe.
but, in very deed for this purpose, have I let thee remain, for the purpose of showing thee my might, —and that my name may be celebrated in all the earth.
17 No wĩyũmĩtie kũhinyĩrĩria andũ akwa na ũkagiria mathiĩ.
Even yet, art thou exalting thyself over my people—in not letting 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 me! raining down, about this time to-morrow, an exceeding heavy hail, —such as hath not been in Egypt, from the day it was founded, even unto the present time.
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.’”
Now, therefore, send—bring into safety thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field, —as touching all men and beasts which shall be found in the field and shall not be withdrawn into shelter, the hail shall come down upon them 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 Yahweh, among the servants of Pharaoh, made his servants and his cattle flee, under shelter:
21 No arĩa mateetigĩrire kiugo kĩa Jehova maatigire ngombo ciao na ũhiũ wao mĩgũnda-inĩ.
but, whoso applied not his heart unto the word of Yahweh, left 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.”
Then said Yahweh unto Moses—Stretch forth thy hand over the heavens, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, —on man and on beast, and on 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;
So Moses stretched forth his staff over the heavens, and, Yahweh, gave forth thunderings and hail, and there came fire towards the earth, —and Yahweh rained down 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.
So there came to be hail, and fire catching hold of itself, in the midst of the hail, —exceeding heavy, such as had not been in all the land of Egypt, from the very time 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 in all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and beast, —and every herb of the field, did the hail smite, and every tree of the field, did it shiver.
26 Kũndũ kũrĩa mbura ĩyo ya mbembe ĩtoirire no bũrũri wa Gosheni, kũrĩa andũ a Isiraeli maarĩ.
Only in the land of Goshen, where were the sons of Israel, 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.
Then sent Pharaoh, and called for Moses and for Aaron, and said unto them—I have sinned this time, —Yahweh, is the righteous one, and, I and my people, are the wrong-doers.
28 Hooyai Jehova, nĩgũkorwo nĩtũiganĩtie marurumĩ na mbura ya mbembe iria tuonete. Nĩngũmũrekereria mũthiĩ; mũtigũikara gũkũ rĩngĩ.”
Make ye request unto Yahweh, and it shall be enough without there being any more thunderings of God, and hail, —and I must a let you go, and not again shall ye delay.
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 unto him, As soon as I am gone out of the city, will I spread out my hands unto Yahweh, —the thunderings, shall cease, and, the hail, shall come no more, —that thou mayest know, that to Yahweh, belongeth the earth.
30 No nĩnjũũĩ atĩ wee na anene aku mũtirĩ mũretigĩra Jehova Ngai.”
But as touching thee and thy servants, I know that not yet will ye stand in awe of Yahweh Elohim.
31 (Ũguta na cairi nĩciathũkirio, nĩ ũndũ cairi nĩyarutĩte magira, naguo ũguta ũkaruta kĩro.
Now, the flax and the barley, were smitten, —for the barley, was in the ear, and, the flax, was in flower;
32 No rĩrĩ, ngano o na guthemethu itiathũkirio, tondũ itiarĩ ngũrũ.)
but the wheat and the spelt, were not smitten, —for they were, not ripe.
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 away from Pharaoh out of the city, and spread out his hands unto Yahweh, —then did the thunderings and the hail cease, and, rain, was not poured out on the earth.
34 Rĩrĩa Firaũni onire atĩ mbura ya mbembe na marurumĩ nĩciathira akĩĩhia rĩngĩ; we na anene ake makĩũmia ngoro ciao.
And when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunderings had ceased, he again sinned, —and made his heart dull, 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 waxed bold, and he did not let the sons of Israel go, —as spake Yahweh by the hand of Moses.
