Egzòd 8

1 Alò SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Ale kote Farawon e di li: ‘Konsa pale SENYÈ a: Kite pèp Mwen an ale pou yo kab sèvi Mwen.

The Lord also said to Moses: “Enter to Pharaoh, and you will say to him: ‘Thus says the Lord: Release my people in order to sacrifice to me.

2 Men si ou refize kite yo ale, m ap frape tout teritwa ou a avèk krapo.

But if you are not willing to release them, behold, I will strike all your coasts with frogs.

3 Nil lan va fòmante avèk krapo ki vin monte antre lakay ou, nan chanm dòmi ou, sou kabann ou, nan kay a sèvitè ou, sou pèp ou a, nan fou ou yo, ak nan veso pou fè pen yo.

And the river will seethe with frogs, which will go up and enter into your house, and your bedroom, and upon your bed, and into the houses of your servants and your people, and into your ovens, and into the remains of your foods.

4 Epi krapo yo va monte sou ou menm, avèk pèp ou a, avèk sèvitè ou yo.’”

And to you, and to your people, and to all your servants, the frogs will enter.’”

5 Alò SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Pale Aaron: ‘Lonje men ou avèk baton ou an sou rivyè yo, sou dlo k ap koule yo, sou ti lak yo, e fè krapo yo vin parèt sou peyi Égypte la.’”

And the Lord said to Moses: “Say to Aaron: ‘Extend your hand over the rivers, and also over the streams and the marshes, and bring forth frogs over the land of Egypt.’”

6 Konsa, Aaron te lonje men l sou dlo Égypte yo, e krapo te vin kouvri peyi Égypte la.

And Aaron extended his hand over the waters of Egypt, and the frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt.

7 Majisyen yo te fè menm bagay la avèk metye sekrè pa yo, e te fè krapo yo monte sou peyi Égypte la.

Then the sorcerers also, by their incantations, did similarly, and they brought forth frogs upon the land of Egypt.

8 Alò, Farawon te rele Moïse avèk Aaron e te di: “Soupliye SENYÈ a pou Li retire krapo yo sou mwen, ak pèp mwen an, epi mwen va kite pèp la ale pou yo kapab fè sakrifis a SENYÈ a.”

But Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron, and he said to them: “Pray to the Lord, so as to take away the frogs from me and from my people. And I will release the people, so as to sacrifice to the Lord.”

9 Moïse te di a Farawon: “Desizyon an se pa w: fè m konnen kilè ou ta vle m soupliye pou ou avèk sèvitè ou yo, avèk pèp ou a ke krapo sa yo vin detwi pami nou, ak lakay nou, pou yo kapab vin rete sèlman nan larivyè Nil lan.”

And Moses said to Pharaoh: “Appoint for me a time, when I should petition on behalf of you, and your servants, and your people, so that the frogs may be driven away from you, and from your house, and from your servants, and from your people, and so that they may remain only in the river.”

10 Alò li te reponn: “Demen”. Moïse te di: “Selon mo pa w, pou ou kapab konnen ke nanpwen anyen ki tankou SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an,

And he responded, “Tomorrow.” Then he said, “I will act according to your word, so that you may know that there is no one like the Lord our God.

11 Krapo yo va pati kite nou, lakay nou yo ak sèvitè nou yo, ak pèp nou an'. Yo va vin rete sèlman nan larivyè Nil lan.”

And the frogs will withdraw from you, and from your house, and from your servants, and from your people. And they will remain only in the river.”

12 Konsa, Moïse avèk Aaron te sòti devan Farawon, e Moïse te kriye a SENYÈ a, konsènan krapo yo avèk sila li te aflije Farawon yo.

And Moses and Aaron departed from Pharaoh. And Moses cried out to the Lord on behalf of the promise that he had made to Pharaoh concerning the frogs.

13 SENYÈ a te fè selon pawòl Moïse la. Krapo yo te mouri nan kay yo, nan lakou yo, ak nan chan yo.

And the Lord acted according to the word of Moses. And the frogs died out of the houses, and out of the villages, and out of the fields.

14 Yo te fè gwo pil avèk yo, e peyi a te vin santi pouriti.

And they gathered them together into immense piles, and the land was polluted.

15 Men lè Farawon te vin wè sa te rezoud, li te fè kè di, e li pa t koute yo, jan SENYÈ a te di a.

Then Pharaoh, seeing that relief had been provided, hardened his own heart, and he did not listen to them, just as the Lord had instructed.

16 Alò, SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Pale Aaron: ‘Lonje baton ou an e frape pousyè tè a, pou li kapab devni ti mouch fen nan tout vale an Égypte yo.’”

And the Lord said to Moses: “Say to Aaron: ‘Extend your staff and strike the dust of the earth. And let there be stinging insects throughout the entire the land of Egypt.’”

17 Yo te fè sa; Aaron te lonje men l avèk baton li an, li te frape pousyè tè a, e te vin gen ti mouch fen sou moun, ak sou bèt yo. Tout pousyè tè a te devni ti mouch nan tout peyi Égypte la.

And they did so. And Aaron extended his hand, holding the staff, and he struck the dust of the earth, and there came stinging insects upon men and upon beasts. All the dust of the earth was turned into stinging insects through all the land of Egypt.

18 Majisyen yo te eseye avèk metye maji pa yo pou pwodwi ti mouch fen yo, men yo pa t kapab. Te gen ti mouch yo ni sou moun, ni sou bèt.

And the sorcerers, with their incantations, did similarly, in order to bring forth stinging insects, but they were not able. And there were stinging insects, as much on men as on beasts.

19 Alò, majisyen yo te di a Farawon: “Sa se dwat Bondye.” Men kè Farawon te vin di, e li pa t koute yo, jan SENYÈ a te di a.

And the sorcerers said to Pharaoh: “This is the finger of God.” And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not listen to them, just as the Lord had instructed.

20 Alò, SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Leve granmmaten, e prezante ou devan Farawon, pandan l ap sòti nan dlo a, e di li: ‘Se konsa ke SENYÈ a pale: Kite pèp Mwen an ale, pou yo kapab sèvi Mwen.’”

The Lord also said to Moses: “Arise at first light, and stand in the sight of Pharaoh, for he will go out to the waters. And you will say to him: ‘Thus says the Lord: Release my people to sacrifice to me.

21 “Paske si ou pa kite pèp Mwen an ale, gade byen, Mwen va voye desann gwo mouch sou sèvitè ou yo, sou pèp ou a, ak anndan lakay ou yo. Kay Ejipsyen yo va vin ranpli avèk desant mouch, ak sou tè kote yo ap viv la.

But if you will not release them, behold, I will send upon you, and upon your servants, and upon your people, and into your houses, diverse kinds of flies. And the houses of the Egyptians will be filled with diverse kinds of flies, as well as the whole land in which they will be.

22 “Nan jou sa a, Mwen va mete apa peyi Gosen, kote pèp Mwen an ap viv la, pou desant mouch yo pa rive la, pou ou ka konnen ke Mwen, SENYÈ a sou latè a.

And in that day, I will cause a miracle in the land of Goshen, where my people are, so that flies will not be there. And you will know that I am the Lord in the midst of the earth.

23 Mwen va mete yon divizyon antre pèp Mwen an ak pèp pa w la. Demen sign sa a va parèt.”

And I will set a division between my people and your people. Tomorrow this sign will be.’”

24 Alò SENYÈ a te fè sa. Te vini gran desant gwo mouch nan kay Farawon an ak kay sèvitè pa li yo, e peyi a te vin devaste akoz desant gwo mouch yo nan tout peyi Égypte la.

And the Lord did so. And there came very grievous flies into the houses of Pharaoh and of his servants, and into all the land of Egypt. And the land was polluted, in this way, by the flies.

25 Farawon te rele Moïse avèk Aaron. Li te di: “Ale fè sakrifis a Bondye nou an pa anndan peyi a.”

And Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron, and he said to them, “Go and sacrifice to your God in this land.”

26 Men Moïse te di: “Li pa bon pou nou fè sa, paske nou va fè sakrifis a SENYÈ a ki se yon abominasyon pou Ejipsyen yo. Si nou fè sakrifis ki se yon abominasyon pou Ejipsyen yo, èske yo p ap lapide nou avèk kout wòch?

And Moses said: “It cannot be so. For we will immolate the abominations of the Egyptians to the Lord our God. For if we slaughter those things which the Egyptians worship, in their presence, they will stone us.

27 Nou dwe fè yon vwayaj twa jou nan dezè a, pou fè sakrifis a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, jan Li kòmande nou an.”

We will sojourn three days’ journey into the wilderness. And we will sacrifice to the Lord our God, just as he has instructed us.”

28 Farawon te di: “M ap kite nou ale, pou nou kapab fè sakrifis a SENYÈ a, Bondye pa w la nan dezè a; men nou p ap prale lwen. Priye pou Mwen.”

And Pharaoh said: “I will release you in order to sacrifice to the Lord your God in the desert. Yet you may only go so far. Petition for me.”

29 Alò, Moïse te di: “Gade byen, Mwen ap sòti devan ou, mwen va priye a SENYÈ a pou desant mouch yo sòti sou Farawon, sou sèvitè li yo, ak sou pèp li a demen; men pinga kite Farawon aji an desepsyon ankò pou refize kite pèp la ale pou fè sakrifis a SENYÈ a.”

And Moses said: “After departing from you, I will pray to the Lord. And the flies will withdraw from Pharaoh, and from his servants, and from his people, tomorrow. Yet do not be willing to deceive any longer, so that you would not release the people to sacrifice to the Lord.”

30 Alò, Moïse te sòti devan Farawon, e li te priye a SENYÈ a.

And Moses, departing from Pharaoh, prayed to the Lord.

31 SENYÈ a te fè jan Moïse te mande a, Li te fè desant gwo mouch yo vin disparèt sou Farawon, sou sèvitè li yo, ak sou pèp li a. Pa t gen youn ki te rete.

And he acted according to his word. And he took away the flies from Pharaoh, and from his servants, and from his people. There was not even one left behind.

32 Men Farawon te andisi kè l fwa sa a ankò, e li pa t kite pèp la ale.

And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, so that, even at this turn, he would not release the people.
