< Egzòd 8 >

1 Apre sa, Seyè a di Moyiz konsa: -Ale kote farawon an. W'a di l': Men sa Seyè a di: Kite pèp mwen an ale pou l' kapab fè sèvis pou mwen.
And this is what the Lord said to Moses: Go to Pharaoh and say to him, The Lord says, Let my people go so that they may give me worship.
2 Koute byen. Si ou derefize kite yo ale, mwen pral lage krapo sou tout peyi a pou pini ou.
And if you will not let them go, see, I will send frogs into every part of your land:
3 Gwo larivyè a pral plen krapo. Yo pral soti nan larivyè a, y'ap anvayi toupatou, y'ap antre lakay ou, anndan chanm ou, y'ap moute jouk nan kabann ou. Y'ap antre lakay moun pa ou yo, lakay tout pèp ou a, nan fou kote yo fè pen, nan ganmèl kote yo pare pat.
The Nile will be full of frogs, and they will come up into your house and into your bedrooms and on your bed, and into the houses of your servants and your people, and into your ovens and into your bread-basins.
4 Y'ap vole sou ou, sou pèp ou a, sou tout moun pa ou yo.
The frogs will come up over you and your people and all your servants.
5 Seyè a di Moyiz: -Di Arawon lonje men li avèk baton l' lan sou larivyè yo, sou kannal yo ak sou m'a dlo yo. Fè krapo moute kouvri peyi Lejip la.
And the Lord said to Moses, Say to Aaron, Let the rod in your hand be stretched out over the streams and the waterways and the pools, causing frogs to come up on the land of Egypt.
6 Arawon lonje men l' sou tout dlo nan peyi Lejip la. Epi krapo moute kouvri tout peyi a.
And when Aaron put out his hand over the waters of Egypt, the frogs came up and all the land of Egypt was covered with them.
7 Men majisyen peyi Lejip yo, avèk maji yo, te rive fè menm bagay la tou. Yo fè krapo moute vin sou peyi Lejip la.
And the wonder-workers did the same with their secret arts, making frogs come up over the land of Egypt.
8 Farawon an rele Moyiz ak Arawon, li di yo: -Lapriyè Seyè a, mande l' pou l' chase krapo sa yo soti sou mwen ak sou pèp mwen an. Apre sa, m'a kite pèp ou a ale pou yo ka touye bèt y'ap ofri bay Seyè a.
Then Pharaoh sent for Moses and Aaron and said, Make prayer to the Lord that he will take away these frogs from me and my people; and I will let the people go and make their offering to the Lord.
9 Lè sa a Moyiz di farawon an: -Se ou menm, farawon, ki konnen kilè ou vle pou m' lapriyè Seyè a pou ou, pou moun pa ou yo ansanm ak pèp ou a. Wi, se ou ki pou di m' kilè ou vle pou Seyè a wete krapo sa yo lakay ou ak nan kay pèp ou a, pou yo rete nan larivyè a ase.
And Moses said, I will let you have the honour of saying when I am to make prayer for you and your servants and your people, that the frogs may be sent away from you and your houses, and be only in the Nile.
10 Farawon an reponn: -W'a fè sa denmen. Moyiz di li: -Sa va pase jan ou di l' la, pou ou sa konnen pa gen Bondye tankou Seyè a, Bondye nou an.
And he said, By tomorrow. And he said, Let it be as you say: so that you may see that there is no other like the Lord our God.
11 Krapo yo pral soti lakay ou, y'a wete kò yo sou ou, sou moun pa ou yo ak sou pèp ou a. Se nan gwo larivyè a ase va gen krapo.
And the frogs will be gone from you and from your houses and from your servants and from your people and will be only in the Nile.
12 Moyiz ak Arawon soti lakay farawon an. Moyiz lapriyè Seyè a ak tout kè l' pou krapo li te voye sou farawon yo.
Then Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh; and Moses made prayer to the Lord about the frogs which he had sent on Pharaoh.
13 Seyè a fè sa Moyiz te mande l' la: krapo yo mouri toupatou, nan kay, nan lakou, nan jaden.
And the Lord did as Moses said; and there was an end of all the frogs in the houses and in the open spaces and in the fields.
14 Moun peyi Lejip yo ranmase yo fè gwo pil. Toupatou nan peyi a te santi move ak krapo mouri yo.
And they put them together in masses, and a bad smell went up from the land.
15 Lè farawon an wè yo te ba l' yon souf, li konmanse fè tèt di ankò. Li pa koute Moyiz ak Arawon, tankou Seyè a te di a.
But when Pharaoh saw that there was peace for a time, he made his heart hard and did not give ear to them, as the Lord had said.
16 Seyè a di Moyiz konsa: -Di Arawon lonje baton l' lan, frape pousyè tè a. Pousyè a va tounen vèmin nan tout peyi Lejip la.
And the Lord said to Moses, Say to Aaron, Let your rod be stretched out over the dust of the earth so that it may become insects through all the land of Egypt.
17 Moyiz ak Arawon fè sa vre. Arawon lonje men li avèk baton an, li frape pousyè tè a. Pousyè a tounen vèmin sou tout moun ak sou tout bèt. Tout pousyè tè a tounen vèmin nan tout peyi Lejip la.
And they did so; and Aaron, stretching out the rod in his hand, gave a touch to the dust of the earth, and insects came on man and on beast; all the dust of the earth was changed into insects through all the land of Egypt.
18 Majisyen yo vin ankò ak maji yo pou yo te fè menm bagay la tou. Men, fwa sa a, yo pa t' kapab. vèmin yo te sou tout moun ak sou tout bèt.
And the wonder-workers with their secret arts, attempting to make insects, were unable to do so: and there were insects on man and on beast.
19 Majisyen yo di farawon an: -Sa se travay Bondye. Men farawon an t'ap fè tèt di toujou. Li pa t' vle koute Moyiz ak Arawon, tankou Seyè a te di a.
Then the wonder-workers said to Pharaoh, This is the finger of God: but Pharaoh's heart was hard, and he did not give ear to them, as the Lord had said.
20 Seyè a di Moyiz ankò: -Leve granmaten, ale jwenn farawon an lè li pral larivyè a. W'a di l': men sa Seyè a di: Kite pèp mwen an ale, pou yo ka fè sèvis pou mwen.
And the Lord said to Moses, Get up early in the morning and take your place before Pharaoh when he comes out to the water; and say to him, This is what the Lord says: Let my people go to give me worship.
21 Si ou pa kite pèp mwen an ale, mwen pral voye mouchavè sou ou, sou moun pa ou yo, sou tout pèp ou a ak nan tout kay yo. Mouchavè pral plen kay moun peyi Lejip yo, yo pral kouvri tout peyi a.
For if you do not let my people go, see, I will send clouds of flies on you and on your servants and on your people and into their houses; and the houses of the Egyptians and the land where they are will be full of flies.
22 Men jou sa a, m'a fè yon bagay pou peyi Gochenn kote pèp mwen an rete a. p'ap gen yon mouchavè la. Konsa, w'a konnen se mwen menm, Seyè a, k'ap travay nan peyi a.
And at that time I will make a division between your land and the land of Goshen where my people are, and no flies will be there; so that you may see that I am the Lord over all the earth.
23 m'a veye pou sa k'ap rive pèp ou a pa rive pèp mwen an. Se denmen mwen pral fè mèvèy sa a.
And I will put a division between my people and your people; tomorrow this sign will be seen.
24 Seyè a fè sa vre jan l' te di l' la: yon kantite mouchavè desann sou kay farawon an, sou kay moun pa l' yo ak sou tout peyi a. Mouchavè t'ap devaste tout peyi Lejip la.
And the Lord did so; and great clouds of flies came into the house of Pharaoh and into his servants' houses, and all the land of Egypt was made waste because of the flies.
25 Lè sa a, farawon an fè rele Moyiz ak Arawon, li di yo: -Nou mèt al ofri bèt pou touye pou Bondye nou an, men n'ap fè l' isit la nan peyi a.
And Pharaoh sent for Moses and Aaron and said, Go and make your offering to your God here in the land.
26 Moyiz reponn li: -Li p'ap bon pou nou fè l' konsa, paske moun peyi Lejip yo ka ofiske lè y'a wè ki kalite bèt nou touye pou ofri bay Seyè a, Bondye nou an. Si nou ofri bagay sa yo devan moun peyi Lejip yo, y'a ka touye nou ak kout ròch.
And Moses said, It is not right to do so; for we make our offerings of that to which the Egyptians give worship; and if we do so before their eyes, certainly we will be stoned.
27 Se pou nou mache twa jou nan dezè a. Se la n'a touye bèt n'ap ofri bay Seyè a, Bondye nou an, jan li te di nou an.
But we will go three days' journey into the waste land and make an offering to the Lord our God as he may give us orders.
28 Farawon an di li: -Bon! M'ap kite nou al touye bèt n'ap ofri bay Seyè a, Bondye nou an, nan dezè a, men se pa pou nou al twò lwen. Lèfini, lapriyè pou mwen tou.
Then Pharaoh said, I will let you go to make an offering to the Lord your God in the waste land; but do not go very far away, and make prayer for me.
29 Moyiz di l' konsa: -Kou m' soti isit la, mwen pral lapriyè Seyè a. Denmen mouchavè yo ap soti sou ou ansanm ak sou moun pa ou yo ak sou tout pèp la. Yo pral byen lwen. Men, piga ou twonpe nou ankò. Pa refize kite pèp la al ofri bèt pou yo touye bay Seyè a.
And Moses said, When I go out from you I will make prayer to the Lord that the cloud of flies may go away from Pharaoh and from his people and from his servants tomorrow: only let Pharaoh no longer by deceit keep back the people from making their offering to the Lord.
30 Moyiz soti lakay farawon an, l' al lapriyè Seyè a.
Then Moses went out from Pharaoh and made prayer to the Lord.
31 Seyè a fè sa Moyiz te mande l' la. Li fè mouchavè yo soti sou farawon an, sou tout moun pa l' yo ansanm ak sou tout pèp la. Li fè yo ale byen lwen. Pa yon mouchavè pa t' rete.
And the Lord did as Moses said, and took away the cloud of flies from Pharaoh and from his servants and from his people; not one was to be seen.
32 Men, menm jou sa a, farawon an fè tèt di ankò, li pa t' vle kite pèp la ale.
But again Pharaoh made his heart hard and did not let the people go.
