Egzòd 10
1 Alò, SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Ale vè Farawon, paske Mwen te fè kè l di, ak kè a sèvitè li yo, pou Mwen kapab fè sign sa yo selon Mwen menm pami yo,
Yahweh said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh, for I have hardened his heart and the hearts of his servants. I have done this to show these signs of my power among them.
2 epi pou ou kapab rakonte nan zòrèy fis ou yo, ak fis a fis ou yo sa Mwen te fè Égypte, ak jan Mwen te fè sign Mwen yo pami yo, pou nou kapab konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a.”
I have also done this so that you may tell your children and grandchildren the things I have done, how I have harshly treated Egypt, and how I have given various signs of my power among them. In this way you will know that I am Yahweh.”
3 Moïse avèk Aaron te ale vè Farawon, e te di li: “Konsa pale SENYÈ a, Bondye a Ebre yo: ‘Jiska konbyen de tan ou va refize imilye ou devan Mwen? Kite pèp Mwen an ale, pou yo kapab sèvi Mwen.
So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and said to him, “Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews, says this: 'How long will you refuse to humble yourself before me? Let my people go so that they may worship me.
4 “‘Oswa, si ou refize kite pèp Mwen an ale, gade byen, demen Mwen va mennen krikèt nan teritwa pa w la.
But if you refuse to let my people go, listen, tomorrow I will bring locusts into your land.
5 Yo va kouvri tout sifas latè pou pèsòn pa kab wè tè a. Yo va anplis manje rès nan sa ki te chape yo—sa ki te rete pou ou aprè lagrèl la—e yo va manje chak bwa ki vin boujonnen pou ou nan chan an.
They will cover the surface of the ground so that no one will be able to see the earth. They will eat the remains of whatever escaped from the hail. They will also eat every tree that grows for you in the fields.
6 Konsa, kay nou yo va vin ranpli, kay a tout sèvitè nou yo, e kay a tout Ejipsyen yo, yon bagay ke ni papa nou yo, ni papa a papa nou yo pa t janm wè, depi jou ke yo te vini sou tè a, jiska jodi a.’” Konsa, li te vire kite Farawon.
They will fill your houses, those of all your servants, and those of all the Egyptians—something neither your father nor your grandfather ever saw, nothing ever seen since the day that they were on the earth to this present day.'” Then Moses left and went out from Pharaoh.
7 Sèvitè Farawon yo te di li: “Pou konbyen de tan mesye sila a ap rete tankou yon pèlen pou nou? Kite mesye yo ale pou yo kapab sèvi SENYÈ Bondye a yo a. Èske ou pa wè ke Égypte gen tan fin detwi?”
Pharaoh's servants said to him, “How long will this man be a menace to us? Let the Israelites go so that they may worship Yahweh their God. Do you not yet realize that Egypt is destroyed?”
8 Alò, yo te mennen Moïse avèk Aaron retounen vè Farawon. Li te di yo: “Ale sèvi SENYÈ a, Bondye ou a! Kilès nan nou k ap prale yo?”
Moses and Aaron were brought again to Pharaoh, who said to them, “Go worship Yahweh your God. But what people will go?”
9 Moïse te di: “Nou va ale avèk jenn nou yo, ak granmoun nou yo. Avèk fis nou yo ak fi nou yo, avèk bann mouton nou yo, ak twoupo nou yo. Nou va ale, paske nou oblije fè yon fèt pou onore SENYÈ a.”
Moses said, “We will go with our young and with our old, with our sons and our daughters. We will go with our flocks and herds, for we must hold a festival for Yahweh.”
10 Alò li te di yo: “Vrèman SENYÈ a avèk nou, si janmen ou wè mwen ta kite nou avèk pitit nou yo ale! Veye nou, paske se mechanste nou anvizaje nan tèt nou.
Pharaoh said to them, “May Yahweh indeed be with you, if I ever let you go and your little ones go. Look, you have some evil in mind.
11 Se pa konsa! Ale koulye a ak mesye ki pami nou yo, pou sèvi SENYÈ a, konsi se sa menm nou vle fè.” Konsa yo te chase yo ale kite prezans Farawon.
No! Go, just the men among you, and worship Yahweh, for that is what you want.” Then Moses and Aaron were driven out from Pharaoh's presence.
12 Alò SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Lonje men ou sou peyi Égypte la pou krikèt yo, pou yo kapab vin monte sou peyi Égypte la, pou yo ka manje chak plan ki nan tè a, menm tout sa ke lagrèl la te kite yo.”
Then Yahweh said to Moses, “Reach out with your hand over the land of Egypt to the locusts, that they may attack the land of Egypt and eat every plant in it, everything that the hail has left.”
13 Alò, Moïse te lonje baton li sou peyi Égypte la, e SENYÈ a te dirije yon van lès sou latè pandan tout jounen an, ak tout nwit lan. Epi lè li te vin maten, van lès la te pote krikèt yo.
Moses reached out with his staff over the land of Egypt, and Yahweh brought an east wind over the land all that day and night. When it was morning, the east wind had brought the locusts.
14 Krikèt yo te vini sou tout latè an Égypte. Yo te vin rete nan tout teritwa Égypte la; yo te debòde l nèt. Pa t janm genyen fòs kantite krikèt egal a sa a, ni p ap janm genyen ankò.
The locusts went through all the land of Egypt and infested all parts of it. Never before had there been such a swarm of locusts in the land, and nothing like this will come after it.
15 Paske yo te kouvri sifas tout tè a, jiskaske latè te vin tounwa, epi yo te manje chak plant peyi a ak tout fwi nan bwa ke lagrèl te kite yo. Konsa, anyen vèt pa t rete nan bwa yo ni plant chan yo nan tout peyi Égypte la.
They covered the surface of the whole land so that it was darkened. They ate every plant in the land and all the fruit of the trees that the hail had left. Throughout all the land of Egypt, no living green plant remained, nor any tree or plant in the fields.
16 Alò, Farawon te fè vit pou rele Moïse avèk Aaron, e li te di: “Mwen te peche kont SENYÈ a Bondye nou an, e kont nou menm.
Then Pharaoh quickly summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “I have sinned against Yahweh your God and against you.
17 Alò, pou sa, souple padone peche mwen yo sèlman pou fwa sa a, e fè lapriyè pou mwen bay SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, pou Li ta sèlman retire lanmò sa a sou mwen.”
Now then, forgive my sin this time, and pray to Yahweh your God that he will take this death away from me.”
18 Li te sòti devan Farawon e li te fè lapriyè bay SENYÈ a.
So Moses went out from Pharaoh and prayed to Yahweh.
19 Alò, SENYÈ a te fè van an chanje an yon van lwès byen fò ki te leve pran tout krikèt yo, e te voye yo nan Lamè Wouj. Menm yon sèl krikèt pa t rete nan tout teritwa Égypte la.
Yahweh brought a very strong west wind that picked up the locusts and drove them into the Sea of Reeds; not a single locust remained in all the territory of Egypt.
20 Men SENYÈ a te fè kè Farawon an vin di, e li pa t kite fis Israël yo ale.
But Yahweh hardened Pharaoh's heart, and Pharaoh did not let the Israelites go.
21 Alò SENYÈ a te di Moïse: “Lonje men ou vè syèl la, pou kapab vin gen tenèb sou tout peyi Égypte la, menm yon tenèb tèlman lou ke yon moun ka santi l.”
Then Yahweh said to Moses, “Reach out with your hand toward the sky, so that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, darkness that may be felt.”
22 Alò Moïse te lonje men l vè syèl la, e te vin gen yon pwofon tenèb nan tout peyi Égypte la pandan twa jou.
Moses reached out with his hand toward the sky, and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt for three days.
23 Yo pa t kapab wè youn lòt ni pèsòn pa t leve kite kote yo ye a pandan twa jou. Men tout fis Israël yo te gen limyè nan andwa pa yo a.
No one could see anyone else; no one left his home for three days. However, all the Israelites had light in the place where they lived.
24 Alò Farawon te rele Moïse. Li te di: “Ale, sèvi SENYÈ a, men kite bann mouton avèk twoupo yo dèyè. Menm pitit nou yo kapab ale avèk nou.”
Pharaoh summoned Moses and said, “Go worship Yahweh. Even your families may go with you, but your flocks and herds must remain behind.”
25 Men Moïse te di: “Ou oblije osi kite nou fè sakrifis e brile ofrann, pou nou kapab fè sakrifis a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.
But Moses said, “You must also give us animals for sacrifices and burnt offerings so that we may sacrifice them to Yahweh our God.
26 Pou sa, bèt nou yo tou ap prale avèk nou. Pa menm youn zago k ap rete dèyè, paske nou va pran kèk nan yo pou sèvi SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an. Epi jiskaske nou rive la, nou menm pa konnen avèk kilès nan yo nou oblije sèvi SENYÈ a.”
Our cattle must also go with us; not a hoof of them may be left behind, for we must take them to worship Yahweh our God. For we do not know with what we must worship Yahweh until we arrive there.”
27 Men SENYÈ a te fè kè a Farawon vin di, e li pa t dakò kite yo ale.
But Yahweh hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he would not let them go.
28 Alò, Farawon te di li: “Sòti sou mwen! Veye ou pou pa wè figi m ankò, paske nan jou ou wè figi m ou va mouri.”
Pharaoh said to Moses, “Go from me! Be careful about one thing, that you do not see me again, for on the day you see my face, you will die.”
29 Moïse te di: “Ou gen rezon; Mwen p ap janmen wè figi ou ankò!”
Moses said, “You yourself have spoken. I will not see your face again.”
