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.
Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, —then shalt thou say unto him—Thus, saith Yahweh, God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
2 Paske si ou refize kite yo ale, e kontinye kenbe yo,
But, if, refusing, thou art to let them go, —and still art holding them fast,
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.
lo! the hand of Yahweh, is coming on thy cattle which are in the field, on the horses, on the asses on the camels, on the herds and on the flocks, —a very grievous pestilence;
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 Yahweh will make a difference between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of the Egyptians, —so that there shall not die from among all that pertaineth to the sons of Israel, a thing!
5 SENYÈ a te etabli yon tan detèmine, e Li te di: “Demen SENYÈ a va fè bagay sa a nan peyi a.”
And Yahweh appointed a set time—saying, To-morrow, will Yahweh 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.
So Yahweh did this thing, on the morrow, and all the cattle of the Egyptians died, —but of the cattle of the sons of Israel, 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 Pharaoh sent, and lo! there had not died of the cattle of Israel, so much as one. But Pharaoh’s heart became dull, 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.
Then said Yahweh unto Moses and unto Aaron, Take you your hands full of the ashes of an oven, —and Moses shall scatter them towards the heavens, before the eyes of Pharaoh:
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.”
then shall they become fine dust, over all the land of Egypt, —and shall become on man and on beast, a burning sore, breaking out in pustules in all the 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.
So they took the ashes of an oven and stood before Pharaoh, and Moses scattered them towards the heavens, —and it came to pass that there was a burning sore in pustules breaking out, among men, and among 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.
and the sacred scribes could not stand before Moses, because of the burning sore, —for the burning sore had come on the sacred scribes, and on all the Egyptians.
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.
But Yahweh let the heart of Pharaoh wax bold, and he hearkened not unto them, —as spake Yahweh unto 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.
Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Rise thou early in the morning, and station thyself before Pharaoh, —then shalt thou say unto him—Thus, saith Yahweh, God of the Hebrews, Let my people go that they may serve 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 this time, am I, sending all my plagues unto thy heart, and amongst thy servants and amongst thy people, —to the intent thou mayest get to know, that 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, might I have put forth my hand, and smitten thee and thy people with pestilence, —and thou shouldst have secretly disappeared 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.
but, in very deed for this purpose, have I let thee remain, for the purpose of showing thee my might, —and that my name may be celebrated in all the earth.
17 Malgre sa, ou toujou monte tèt ou kont pèp Mwen an, lè ou refize kite yo ale.
Even yet, art thou exalting thyself over my people—in not letting 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 me! raining down, about this time to-morrow, an exceeding heavy hail, —such as hath not been in Egypt, from the day it was founded, even unto the 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.’”
Now, therefore, send—bring into safety thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field, —as touching all men and beasts which shall be found in the field and shall not be withdrawn into shelter, the hail shall come down upon them and they 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 Yahweh, among the servants of Pharaoh, made his servants and his cattle flee, under shelter:
21 Men sila ki pa t okipe sa yo, te kite sèvitè li yo avèk bèt li yo nan chan an.
but, whoso applied not his heart unto the word of Yahweh, left his servants and his cattle in the field.
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.”
Then said Yahweh unto Moses—Stretch forth thy hand over the heavens, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, —on man and on beast, and on 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.
So Moses stretched forth his staff over the heavens, and, Yahweh, gave forth thunderings and hail, and there came fire towards the earth, —and Yahweh rained down hail, on 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.
So there came to be hail, and fire catching hold of itself, in the midst of the hail, —exceeding heavy, such as had not been in all the land of Egypt, from the very time it became a nation.
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 smote in all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and beast, —and every herb of the field, did the hail smite, and every tree of the field, did it shiver.
26 Sèlman nan peyi Gosen an, kote fis Israël yo te ye a, pa t gen lagrèl la.
Only in the land of Goshen, where were the sons of Israel, was there no hail.
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.
Then sent Pharaoh, and called for Moses and for Aaron, and said unto them—I have sinned this time, —Yahweh, is the righteous one, and, I and my people, are the wrong-doers.
28 Fè lapriyè bay SENYÈ a, paske te gen kont tonnè avèk lagrèl. Mwen va kite nou ale, e nou p ap rete ankò.”
Make ye request unto Yahweh, and it shall be enough without there being any more thunderings of God, and hail, —and I must a let you go, and not again shall ye delay.
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.
And Moses said unto him, As soon as I am gone out of the city, will I spread out my hands unto Yahweh, —the thunderings, shall cease, and, the hail, shall come no more, —that thou mayest know, that to Yahweh, belongeth the earth.
30 Men pou ou menm, avèk sèvitè ou yo, mwen konnen ke nou poko krent SENYÈ Bondye a.”
But as touching thee and thy servants, I know that not yet will ye stand in awe of Yahweh Elohim.
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.
Now, the flax and the barley, were smitten, —for the barley, was in the ear, and, the flax, was in flower;
32 Men ble a avèk pitimi a pa t gate paske yo te vin mi pita.
but the wheat and the spelt, were not smitten, —for they were, not ripe.
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.
So Moses went away from Pharaoh out of the city, and spread out his hands unto Yahweh, —then did the thunderings and the hail cease, and, rain, was not poured out on 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 when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunderings had ceased, he again sinned, —and made his heart dull, he, and his servants.
35 Kè Farawon te vin di, e li pa t kite fis Israël yo ale, jan SENYÈ a te pale ak Moïse la.
And the heart of Pharaoh waxed bold, and he did not let the sons of Israel go, —as spake Yahweh by the hand of Moses.
