Egzòd 9
1 Seyè a di Moyiz konsa: -Ale bò kot farawon an, w'a di l': Men sa Seyè a, Bondye pèp ebre a, voye di ou: Kite pèp mwen an ale pou yo ka fè sèvis pou mwen.
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh and tell him that this is what the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, says: ‘Let My people go, so that they may worship Me.
2 Si ou derefize kite yo ale, si ou kenbe yo toujou, men sak pral rive:
But if you continue to restrain them and refuse to let them go,
3 M'ap leve men m' sou bèt ou gen nan jaden ou yo: chwal, bourik, chamo, bèf, mouton, kabrit. Yon gwo maladi pral tonbe sou yo.
then the hand of the LORD will bring a severe plague on your livestock in the field—on your horses, donkeys, camels, herds, and flocks.
4 Men m'a veye pou sa ki rive bèt moun peyi Lejip yo pa rive bèt moun pèp Izrayèl yo, pou ankenn bèt moun pèp Izrayèl yo pa mouri.
But the LORD will make a distinction between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt, so that no animal belonging to the Israelites will die.’”
5 Seyè a fikse jou pou l' fè bagay sa a. Li di se denmen l'ap fè sa nan tout peyi a.
The LORD set a time, saying, “Tomorrow the LORD will do this in the land.”
6 Nan denmen vre, Seyè a fè sa l' te di li t'ap fè a: tout bèt moun peyi Lejip yo mouri. Men, pa yonn nan bèt moun Izrayèl yo pa t' mouri.
And the next day the LORD did just that. All the livestock of the Egyptians died, but not one animal belonging to the Israelites died.
7 Farawon an voye pran nouvèl sak pase: li vin konnen pa t' gen yonn nan bèt moun Izrayèl yo ki te mouri. Men, farawon an t'ap fè tèt di toujou. Li pa t' vle kite pèp la ale.
Pharaoh sent officials and found that none of the livestock of the Israelites had died. But Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he would not let the people go.
8 Apre sa, Seyè a di Moyiz ak Arawon: -Plen de men nou ak sann dife. Se pou Moyiz voye sann lan jete anlè devan farawon an.
Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “Take handfuls of soot from the furnace; in the sight of Pharaoh, Moses is to toss it into the air.
9 Sann lan pral gaye tankou pousyè pou l' kouvri tout peyi Lejip la. Toupatou li pral fè yon kantite bouton leve sou tout moun ak sou tout bèt nan peyi a. Lèfini, bouton yo ap pete, y'ap fè malenng.
It will become fine dust over all the land of Egypt, and festering boils will break out on man and beast throughout the land.”
10 Yo pran sann dife a, yo parèt devan farawon an. Moyiz voye sann lan jete anlè. Sann lan fè bouton leve sou tout moun ak sou tout bèt. Epi bouton yo pete fè malenng.
So they took soot from the furnace and stood before Pharaoh. Moses tossed it into the air, and festering boils broke out on man and beast.
11 Ata majisyen yo pa t' kapab parèt devan Moyiz, paske yo te kouvri ak malenng tou tankou tout moun peyi Lejip yo.
The magicians could not stand before Moses, because the boils had broken out on them and on all the Egyptians.
12 Men Seyè a te fè farawon an fè tèt di pi rèd. Farawon an pa t' koute Moyiz ak Arawon, tankou Seyè a te di Moyiz la.
But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he would not listen to them, just as the LORD had said to Moses.
13 Seyè a di Moyiz konsa: -Leve granmaten, al parèt devan farawon an. W'a di l': Men sa Seyè a, Bondye pèp ebre a, voye di ou: Kite pèp mwen an ale pou yo ka al fè sèvis pou mwen.
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Get up early in the morning, stand before Pharaoh, and tell him that this is what the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, says: ‘Let My people go, so that they may worship Me.
14 Paske, fwa sa a, mwen pral voye tout kalite malè mwen konn fè yo sou ou menm menm, sou moun pa ou yo ak sou tout pèp ou a. Konsa, w'a konnen pa gen tankou m' sou tout latè.
Otherwise, I will send all My plagues against you and your officials and your people, so you may know that there is no one like Me in all the earth.
15 Si mwen te lonje men m' pou m' te lage lanmò sou ou ansanm ak tout pèp ou a, nou tout nou te disparèt nèt sou latè.
For by this time I could have stretched out My hand and struck you and your people with a plague to wipe you off the earth.
16 Men, mwen kite nou viv pou nou kapab wè pouvwa mwen, pou moun ka nonmen non m' sou tout latè.
But I have raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display My power to you, and that My name might be proclaimed in all the earth.
17 Men w'ap pran pòz awogan ou avèk pèp mwen an, ou pa vle kite yo ale.
Still, you lord it over My people and do not allow them to go.
18 Koute! Fwa sa a, denmen mwen pral fè lagrèl tonbe tankou lapli, bagay moun poko janm wè nan peyi Lejip, depi peyi a peyi jouk jounen jòdi a.
Behold, at this time tomorrow I will rain down the worst hail that has ever fallen on Egypt, from the day it was founded until now.
19 Koulye a, bay lòd pou yo pran tout bèt nou gen nan jaden ak tout lòt bagay nou gen deyò mete yo anndan kay pou pwoteje yo. Paske, yon gwo lagrèl pral tonbe sou tout moun ak sou tout bèt ki deyò. Yo pral mouri.
So give orders now to shelter your livestock and everything you have in the field. Every man or beast that remains in the field and is not brought inside will die when the hail comes down upon them.’”
20 Te gen kèk moun nan moun pa farawon yo ki te pè lè yo tande sa Seyè a te di. Yo fè tout domestik yo ansanm ak tout bèt yo antre anba kay.
Those among Pharaoh’s officials who feared the word of the LORD hurried to bring their servants and livestock to shelter,
21 Men, gen lòt ki pa t' okipe sa Seyè a te di. Yo kite tout domestik yo ak tout bèt yo deyò.
but those who disregarded the word of the LORD left their servants and livestock in the field.
22 Seyè a di Moyiz konsa: -Leve men ou anlè. Lagrèl pral tonbe sou tout peyi Lejip la, sou tout moun ki deyò, sou tout bèt ak sou tout plant ki nan jaden.
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward heaven, so that hail may fall on all the land of Egypt—on man and beast and every plant of the field throughout the land of Egypt.”
23 Moyiz lonje baton l' lan anlè nan syèl la. Seyè a voye loraj, lagrèl ak zèklè. Loraj la tonbe anpil kote. Wi, Seyè a voye lagrèl sou tout peyi Lejip la.
So Moses stretched out his staff toward heaven, and the LORD sent thunder and hail, and lightning struck the earth. So the LORD rained down hail upon the land of Egypt.
24 Lagrèl t'ap tonbe, zèklè t'ap fè yanyan nan syèl la. Se te pi gwo kout tan ki te tonbe sou peyi a depi peyi a peyi.
The hail fell and the lightning continued flashing through it. The hail was so severe that nothing like it had ever been seen in all the land of Egypt from the time it became a nation.
25 Lagrèl tonbe toupatou nan peyi Lejip la. Li tonbe sou tou sa ki te deyò, sou tout moun ak sou tout bèt. Li tonbe sou tout plant ki nan jaden, li kraze tout pyebwa.
Throughout the land of Egypt, the hail struck down everything in the field, both man and beast; it beat down every plant of the field and stripped every tree.
26 Se sèl nan peyi Gochenn lan lagrèl la pa t' tonbe. Se la moun pèp Izrayèl yo te rete.
The only place where it did not hail was in the land of Goshen, where the Israelites lived.
27 Farawon an fè rele Moyiz ak Arawon, li di yo konsa: -Fwa sa a, mwen rekonèt tò mwen. Se Seyè a ki gen rezon. Se mwen menm ak pèp mwen an ki antò.
Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron. “This time I have sinned,” he said. “The LORD is righteous, and I and my people are wicked.
28 Lapriyè Seyè a pou l' fè loraj la sispann, pou l' fè lagrèl la rete. Mwen pwomèt pou m' kite nou ale. Nou pa bezwen rete ankò.
Pray to the LORD, for there has been enough of God’s thunder and hail. I will let you go; you do not need to stay any longer.”
29 Moyiz di l' konsa: -Soti m' soti lavil la, mwen pral lapriyè nan pye Seyè a. Loraj la va sispann, p'ap gen lagrèl ankò. Konsa w'a konnen tè a se pou Seyè a li ye.
Moses said to him, “When I have left the city, I will spread out my hands to the LORD. The thunder will cease, and there will be no more hail, so that you may know that the earth is the LORD’s.
30 Men mwen konnen ni ou menm, ni moun pa ou yo, nou poko ap respekte Seyè a, Bondye a.
But as for you and your officials, I know that you still do not fear the LORD our God.”
31 Tout pye koton swa yo ak tout jaden lòj yo te boule. Lòj la te deja fè grap, koton yo t'ap fleri.
(Now the flax and barley were destroyed, since the barley was ripe and the flax was in bloom;
32 Men ble ak pitimi pa t' gate, paske yo toujou an reta sou lòt plant yo.
but the wheat and spelt were not destroyed, because they are late crops.)
33 Moyiz soti lakay farawon an, l' al andeyò lavil la. Li lapriyè nan pye Seyè a. Loraj la sispann, lagrèl la rete. pa t' gen lapli ankò.
Then Moses departed from Pharaoh, went out of the city, and spread out his hands to the LORD. The thunder and hail ceased, and the rain no longer poured down on the land.
34 Lè farawon an wè lapli a, lagrèl la ak loraj la sispann, li kontinye fè peche toujou. Li fè tèt di, li menm ansanm ak tout moun pa l' yo.
When Pharaoh saw that the rain and hail and thunder had ceased, he sinned again and hardened his heart—he and his officials.
35 Nan fè tèt di sa a, li pa t' kite moun pèp Izrayèl yo ale, jan Seyè a te fè Moyiz al di l' la.
So Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he would not let the Israelites go, just as the LORD had said through Moses.
