< Egzòd 9 >
1 Alò, SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Ale bò kote Farawon e pale avèk li: ‘Konsa pale SENYÈ a, Bondye a Ebre yo: Kite pèp Mwen an ale, pou yo kapab sèvi Mwen.
And the Lord said to Moses: Go in to Pharao, and speak to him: Thus saith the Lord God of the Hebrews: Let my people go to sacrifice to me.
2 Paske si ou refize kite yo ale, e kontinye kenbe yo,
But if thou refuse, and withhold them still:
3 gade byen, men Bondye va vini avèk yon epidemi byen sevè sou bèt ki nan chan ou yo, sou cheval yo, sou bourik yo, sou chamo yo, sou twoupo yo, ak sou bann mouton yo.
Behold my hand shall be upon thy fields: and a very grievous murrain upon thy horses, and asses, and camels, and oxen, and sheep.
4 Men SENYÈ a va distenge antre bèt Israël yo avèk bèt Ejipsyen yo, pou okenn pa mouri nan sa ki pou fis Israël yo.’”
And the Lord will make a wonderful difference between the possessions of Israel and the possessions of the Egyptians, that nothing at all shall die of those things that belong to the children of Israel.
5 SENYÈ a te etabli yon tan detèmine, e Li te di: “Demen SENYÈ a va fè bagay sa a nan peyi a.”
And the Lord appointed a time, saying: Tomorrow will the Lord do this thing in the land.
6 Alò, SENYÈ a te fè bagay sa a nan jou ki te vini an, e tout bèt Égypte yo te mouri; men pou bèt fis Israël yo, pa gen youn ki te mouri.
The Lord therefore did this thing the next day: and all the beasts of the Egyptians died, but of the beasts of the children of Israel there died not one.
7 Farawon te voye, e gade byen, pa menm youn nan bèt Israël yo pa t mouri. Men kè Farawon te vin di, e li pa t kite pèp la ale.
And Pharao sent to see: and there was not any thing dead of that which Israel possessed. And Pharao’s heart was hardened, and he did not let the people go.
8 Alò SENYÈ a te di a Moïse avèk Aaron: “Pran kèk men plen avèk poud chabon ki sòti nan fou kanari yo, e kite Moïse voye li vè syèl la devan zye a Farawon.
And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron: Take to you handfuls of ashes out of the chimney, and let Moses sprinkle it in the air in the presence of Pharao.
9 Li va vin fè yon poud fen ki kouvri tout peyi Égypte la, e li va devni gwo bouton k ap pete tankou maleng ni sou moun ni sou bèt.”
And be there dust upon all the land of Egypt: for there shall be boils and swelling blains both in men and beasts in the whole land of Egypt.
10 Alò yo te pran chabon ki sòti nan fou kanari yo, e yo te kanpe devan Farawon; epi Moïse te voye li vè syèl la, e li te devni gwo bouton k ap pete tankou maleng ni sou moun, ni sou bèt.
And they took ashes out of the chimney, and stood before Pharao, and Moses sprinkled it in the air: and there came boils with swelling blains in men and beasts.
11 Majisyen yo pa t kab kanpe devan Moïse akoz bouton yo, paske bouton yo te sou majisyen yo menm jan ak tout Ejipsyen yo.
Neither could the magicians stand before Moses for the boils that were upon them, and in all the land of Egypt.
12 Men SENYÈ a te fè kè Farawon vin di, e li pa t koute yo, jan ke SENYÈ a te di a Moïse la.
And the Lord hardened Pharao’s heart, and he hearkened not unto them, as the Lord had spoken to Moses.
13 Alò, SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Leve granmmaten e kanpe devan Farawon pou di li: ‘Konsa pale SENYÈ a, Bondye a Ebre yo: Kite pèp Mwen an ale, pou yo kapab sèvi Mwen.
And the Lord said to Moses: Arise in the morning, and stand before Pharao, and thou shalt say to him: Thus saith the Lord the God of the Hebrews: Let my people go to sacrifice to me.
14 Paske fwa sa a, Mwen va voye tout fleyo Mwen yo sou kè ou, avèk sèvitè ou yo, avèk pèp ou a, pou ou kab konnen ke nanpwen lòt tankou Mwen sou tout latè.
For I will at this time send all my plagues upon thy heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people: that thou mayst know there is none like me in all the earth.
15 “‘Paske si Mwen te deja lonje men M pou frape ou ak pèp ou a avèk epidemi, nou t ap deja disparèt sou latè.
For now I will stretch out my hand to strike thee, and thy people with pestilence, and thou shalt perish from the earth.
16 Men vrèman, pou rezon sa a, Mwen kite nou la jiska prezan: pou M kapab montre nou pouvwa Mwen e pwoklame pouvwa Mwen sou tout latè.
And therefore have I raised thee, that I may shew my power in thee, and my name may be spoken of throughout all the earth.
17 Malgre sa, ou toujou monte tèt ou kont pèp Mwen an, lè ou refize kite yo ale.
Dost thou yet hold back my people: and wilt thou not let them go?
18 “‘Gade byen, vè lè sa a demen, Mwen va voye lagrèl byen gwo, tankou yo pa janm wè an Égypte depi lè li te fonde, jiska prezan.
Behold I will cause it to rain tomorrow at this same hour, an exceeding great hail: such as hath not been in Egypt from the day that it was founded, until this present time.
19 Alò, pou sa, mennen bèt nou yo avèk nenpòt sa nou gen nan chan an anba pwoteksyon. Chak moun oswa bèt ki twouve yo nan chan an, e ki pa mennen lakay yo, lè lagrèl la vin desann sou yo, yo va mouri.’”
Send therefore now presently, and gather together thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field: for men and beasts, and all things that shall be found abroad, and not gathered together out of the fields, which the hail shall fall upon, shall die.
20 Sèman sila pami sèvitè Farawon yo ki te krent pawòl SENYÈ a te fè pwòp sèvitè li yo avèk bèt li yo sove ale nan kay yo.
He that feared the word of the Lord among Pharao’s servants, made his servants and his cattle flee into houses:
21 Men sila ki pa t okipe sa yo, te kite sèvitè li yo avèk bèt li yo nan chan an.
But he that regarded not the word of the Lord, left his servants and his cattle in the fields:
22 Alò, SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Lonje men ou vè syèl la, pou lagrèl kapab tonbe sou tout tè Égypte la, sou moun, sou bèt, e sou chak plan nan chan tout kote nan peyi Égypte la.”
And the Lord said to Moses: Stretch forth thy hand towards heaven, that there may be hail in the whole land of Egypt, upon men, and upon beasts, and upon every herb of the field in the land of Egypt.
23 Moïse te lonje baton li vè syèl la, e SENYÈ a te voye zeklè, loray avèklagrèl, avèk gwo kout dife ki te kouri rive jis atè. Konsa, SENYÈ a te fè lagrèl desann sou tout tè Égypte la.
And Moses stretched forth his rod towards heaven, and the Lord sent thunder and hail, and lightning running along the ground: and the Lord rained hail upon the land of Egypt.
24 Alò te gen lagrèl, avèk dife ki te lanse, ki t ap vòltije tout tan nan mitan lagrèl la, byen sevè, jan peyi Égypte la pa t janm wè depi li te devni yon nasyon.
And the hail and fire mixed with it drove on together: and it was of so great bigness, as never before was seen in the whole land of Egypt since that nation was founded.
25 Lagrèl la te frape tout sa ki te nan chan nan tout pati an Égypte, ni moun, ni bèt. Lagrèl la te frape osi chak plan nan chan an epi te chire an mòso chak bwa nan chan an.
And the hail destroyed through all the land of Egypt all things that were in the fields, both man and beast: and the hail smote every herb of the field, and it broke every tree of the country.
26 Sèlman nan peyi Gosen an, kote fis Israël yo te ye a, pa t gen lagrèl la.
Only in the land of Gessen, where the children of Israel were, the hail fell not.
27 Alò, Farawon te voye kote Moïse avèk Aaron, e te di yo: “Mwen te peche fwa sa a. SENYÈ a se sila ki dwat la, epi mwen avèk pèp mwen an se nou ki mechan.
And Pharao sent and called Moses and Aaron, saying to them: I have sinned this time also; the Lord is just: I and my people are wicked.
28 Fè lapriyè bay SENYÈ a, paske te gen kont tonnè avèk lagrèl. Mwen va kite nou ale, e nou p ap rete ankò.”
Pray ye to the Lord, that the thunderings of God and the hail may cease: that I may let you go, and that you may stay here no longer.
29 Moïse te di li: “Depi mwen kite vil la, m ap ouvri men m bay SENYÈ a. Tonnè a va sispann, e p ap gen lagrèl ankò, pou ou kapab konnen ke tè a se pou SENYÈ a.
Moses said: As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will stretch forth my hands to the Lord, and the thunders shall cease, and the hail shall be no more: that thou mayst know that the earth is the Lord’s.
30 Men pou ou menm, avèk sèvitè ou yo, mwen konnen ke nou poko krent SENYÈ Bondye a.”
But I know that neither thou, nor thy servants do yet fear the Lord God.
31 Alò pye koton swa yo avèk lòj la te gate, paske lòj la te fè gwo tèt, e koton swa a t ap boujonnen.
The flax therefore and the barley were hurt, because the barley was green, and the flax was now boiled:
32 Men ble a avèk pitimi a pa t gate paske yo te vin mi pita.
But the wheat, and other winter corn were not hurt, because they were lateward.
33 Alò, Moïse te kite vil la sòti devan Farawon, e li te lonje men li vè SENYÈ a; epi tonnè avèk lagrèl la te sispann, e lapli pa t tonbe sou latè ankò.
And when Moses was gone from Pharao out of the city, he stretched forth his hands to the Lord: and the thunders and the hail ceased, neither did there drop any more rain upon the earth.
34 Men lè Farawon te wè ke lapli avèk tonnè a te sispann, li te peche ankò, e li te andisi kè l, li menm avèk sèvitè li yo.
And Pharao seeing that the rain and the hail, and the thunders were ceased, increased his sin.
35 Kè Farawon te vin di, e li pa t kite fis Israël yo ale, jan SENYÈ a te pale ak Moïse la.
And his heart was hardened, and the heart of his servants, and it was made exceeding hard: neither did he let the children of Israel go, as the Lord had commanded by the hand of Moses.
