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.

Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, —then shalt thou say unto him—Thus, saith Yahweh, —Let my people go, that they may serve me.

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

But if thou art, refusing, to let them go, lo! I, am plaguing all thy boundaries 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.

so shall the river swarm with frogs, and they shall come up, and enter into thy house, and into thy bedchamber and upon thy couch, —and into the house of thy servants and among thy people, and into thine ovens and into thy kneading-troughs:

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

both against thee, and against thy people, and against all thy servants, shall come up the frogs.

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.’”

Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Say unto Aaron—Stretch forth thy hand with thy staff, over the streams over the rivers and over the pools, —and bring up the 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.

So Aaron stretched forth his hand, over the waters of Egypt, —and the frog 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.

And the sacred scribes did in like manner, with their secret arts, —and brought up frogs over 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.”

Then called Pharaoh for Moses and for Aaron and said—Make entreaty unto Yahweh, that he take away the frogs from me and from my people, —and I must let the people go that they may sacrifice to Yahweh.

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—Explain thyself unto me: For what time, shall I make entreaty for thee and for thy servants and for thy people, to cause the frogs to be cut off, from thee and from thy houses, —only in the river, shall they remain?

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 said—For to-morrow. And he said—According to thy word! that thou mayest know that there is none like Yahweh, 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.”

so the frogs shall depart—from thee and from thy houses and from thy servants and from thy people, —only in the river, shall they remain.

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.

Then went forth Moses and Aaron from Pharaoh, —and Moses made outcry unto Yahweh, over the matter of the frogs which he had appointed for Pharaoh.

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

And Yahweh did according to the word of Moses, —and the frogs died, out of the houses and out of the yards, and out of the fields;

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

and they piled them up, heaps—heaps, —and the land became loathsome.

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.

But when Pharaoh saw that there had come a respite, then made he his heart dull and hearkened not unto them, —as spake Yahweh.

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.’”

Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Say unto Aaron—Stretch forth thy staff, and smite the dust of the land, —so shall it become gnats in all 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 stretched forth his hand with his staff and smote the dust of the land, and there canto to be gnats, among men and among beasts, —all the dust of the land, became gnats, in 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 sacred scribes did in like manner with their secret arts, to bring forth the gnats, but they could not. So there came to be gnats, among men and among 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.

Then said the sacred scribes unto Pharaoh, The finger of God, it is! But the heart of Pharaoh waxed bold and he hearkened not unto them, as spake Yahweh.

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.’”

Then said Yahweh unto Moses—Rise thou early in the morning, and station thyself before Pharaoh, lo! he is coming forth to the waters, —then shalt thou say unto him—Thus, saith Yahweh: Let my people go, that they may serve 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 thou art not letting my people go, behold me! sending forth—against thee, and against thy servants, and against thy people, and against thy houses the gad-fly, —and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of the gad-fly, moreover also the ground whereon, they are:

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.

then will I make to differ on that day, the land of Goshen wherein my people do dwell, so that there shall not be there a gad-fly! in order that thou mayest know, that I, Yahweh, am in the midst of the land;

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

so will I put a separation betwixt my people and thy people. By to-morrow, shall come to pass this sign.

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 Yahweh did so, and brought a grievous gad-fly unto the house of Pharaoh and the houses of his servants and in all the land of Egypt, and the land was laid waste by reason of the gad-fly.

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

Then did Pharaoh cry out—unto Moses and to Aaron, —and said-Go your way, sacrifice to your God, in the 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: Not meet, is it, to do thus, for, an abomination to the Egyptians, we should sacrifice to Yahweh our God. Lo! could we sacrifice that which is an abomination to the Egyptians before their eyes and they not 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.”

A journey of three days, must we go, in the desert, —then will we sacrifice to Yahweh our God, as, Yahweh, hath said unto 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.”

Then said Pharaoh: I, will let you go—so shall ye sacrifice to Yahweh your God in the desert, only ye shall not go a, very long, journey, —make ye entreaty 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: Lo! I, am going out from thee and will make entreaty unto Yahweh, so will he take away the gad-fly—from Pharaoh from his servants, and from his people tomorrow, —only let not Pharaoh again deceive, in not letting the people go, to sacrifice to Yahweh.

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

So Moses went out from Pharaoh, —and made entreaty unto Yahweh.

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 Yahweh did according to the word of Moses, and took away the gad-fly, from Pharaoh from his servants and from his people, —there remained not, one.

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

And Pharaoh made his heart dull, this time also, —and did not let the people go.
