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 tell him, ‘This is what the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, says: “Let my people go, that they may serve me.
2 Ũngĩrega kũmarekereria, na ũthiĩ na mbere kũmarigĩrĩria-rĩ,
For if you refuse to let them go, and hold 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 LORD’s hand is on your livestock which are in the field, on the horses, on the donkeys, on the camels, on the herds, and on the flocks with 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.’”
The LORD will make a distinction between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt; and nothing shall die of all that belongs to the children of Israel.”’”
5 Jehova agĩtua ihinda, na akiuga atĩrĩ, “Rũciũ Jehova nĩageeka ũndũ ũyũ gũkũ bũrũri-inĩ.”
The LORD appointed a set time, saying, “Tomorrow the LORD shall 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.
The LORD did that thing on the next day; and all the livestock of Egypt died, but of the livestock of the children of Israel, not one died.
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.
Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there was not so much as one of the livestock of the Israelites dead. But the heart of Pharaoh was stubborn, and he didn’t 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.
The LORD said to Moses and to Aaron, “Take handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it towards the sky in the sight 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.”
It shall become small dust over all the land of Egypt, and shall be boils and blisters breaking out on man and on animal, throughout 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.
They took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it up towards the sky; and it became boils and blisters breaking out on man and on animal.
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.
The magicians couldn’t stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boils were on the magicians and on all the Egyptians.
12 No Jehova akĩũmia ngoro ya Firaũni, akĩrega kũigua Musa na Harũni, o ta ũrĩa Jehova eerĩte Musa.
The LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he didn’t listen to them, as the LORD had spoken to 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,
The LORD said to Moses, “Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and tell him, ‘This is what the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, says: “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 I will send all my plagues against your heart, against your officials, and against your people; that you may know that there is no one 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 I would have stretched out my hand, and struck you and your people with pestilence, and 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 indeed for this cause I have made you stand: to show you my power, and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth,
17 No wĩyũmĩtie kũhinyĩrĩria andũ akwa na ũkagiria mathiĩ.
because you still exalt yourself against my people, that you won’t 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, tomorrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as has not been in Egypt since the day it was founded even 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.’”
Now therefore command that all of your livestock and all that you have in the field be brought into shelter. The hail will come down on every man and animal that is found in the field, and isn’t brought home, and they will die.”’”
20 Anene acio a Firaũni arĩa meetigĩrĩte kiugo kĩa Jehova makĩhiũha gũtoonyia ngombo ciao na ũhiũ wao nyũmba thĩinĩ.
Those who feared the LORD’s word amongst the servants of Pharaoh made their servants and their livestock flee into the houses.
21 No arĩa mateetigĩrire kiugo kĩa Jehova maatigire ngombo ciao na ũhiũ wao mĩgũnda-inĩ.
Whoever didn’t respect the LORD’s word left his servants and his livestock 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.”
The LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand towards the sky, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, on man, and on animal, and on every herb of the field, throughout 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;
Moses stretched out his rod towards the heavens, and the LORD sent thunder and hail; and lightning flashed down to the earth. The LORD 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.
So there was very severe hail, and lightning mixed with the hail, such as had not been 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.
The hail struck throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and animal; and the hail struck 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, there was no hail.
27 Nake Firaũni agĩĩta Musa na Harũni, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ihinda rĩĩrĩ nĩnjĩhĩtie. Jehova nĩwe wa ma; niĩ na andũ akwa nĩtũhĩtĩtie.
Pharaoh sent and called for Moses and Aaron, and said to them, “I have sinned this time. The LORD is righteous, and I and my people are wicked.
28 Hooyai Jehova, nĩgũkorwo nĩtũiganĩtie marurumĩ na mbura ya mbembe iria tuonete. Nĩngũmũrekereria mũthiĩ; mũtigũikara gũkũ rĩngĩ.”
Pray to the LORD; for there has been enough of mighty thunderings and hail. I will let you go, and you 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.
Moses said to him, “As soon as I have gone out of the city, I will spread out my hands to the LORD. The thunders shall cease, and there will not be any more hail; that you may know 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 know that you don’t yet fear the LORD God.”
31 (Ũguta na cairi nĩciathũkirio, nĩ ũndũ cairi nĩyarutĩte magira, naguo ũguta ũkaruta kĩro.
The flax and the barley were struck, for the barley had ripened and the flax was blooming.
32 No rĩrĩ, ngano o na guthemethu itiathũkirio, tondũ itiarĩ ngũrũ.)
But the wheat and the spelt were not struck, for they had not grown 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.
Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread out his hands to the LORD; and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured on the earth.
34 Rĩrĩa Firaũni onire atĩ mbura ya mbembe na marurumĩ nĩciathira akĩĩhia rĩngĩ; we na anene ake makĩũmia ngoro ciao.
When Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders had ceased, he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, 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.
The heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he didn’t let the children of Israel go, just as the LORD had spoken through Moses.
