< Ọpụpụ 10 >
1 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị ya, “Jekwuru Fero nʼihi na emeela m ka obi ya, na obi ndị na-ejere ya ozi sie ike, ka m nwee ike rụọ ọrụ ịrịbama ndị a dị iche iche nʼetiti ha.
And Jehovah said to Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh; for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his bondmen, that I might do these my signs in their midst,
2 Nke a ga-abụ akụkọ unu ga-akọrọ ụmụ unu, na ụmụ ụmụ unu, banyere otu m si mesie ndị Ijipt ike, na otu m si rụọ ọrụ ịrịbama m nʼetiti ha, ime ka unu mata na m bụ Onyenwe anyị.”
and that thou mightest tell in the ears of thy son and thy son's son what I have wrought in Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah.
3 Ọzọ, Mosis na Erọn jekwuuru Fero gwa ya sị, “Nke a bụ ihe Onyenwe anyị Chineke ndị Hibru kwuru, ‘Ọ bụ ruo olee mgbe ka ị ga-ajụ iwedata onwe gị ala nʼihu m? Hapụ ndị m ka ha gaa fee m ofufe.
And Moses and Aaron came to Pharaoh, and said to him, Thus saith Jehovah the God of the Hebrews: How long dost thou refuse to humble thyself before me? let my people go, that they may serve me.
4 Ọ bụrụ na ị jụ ikwere ka ha gaa, nʼụtụtụ echi, aga m ezite igurube nʼala Ijipt.
For, if thou refuse to let my people go, behold, I will to-morrow bring locusts into thy borders;
5 Igurube ndị a ga-ekpuchi ihu ala Ijipt niile, ka mmadụ ọbụla hapụ ịhụ ala anya. Ha ga-erichapụ ihe ndị fọdụrụ bụ nke ifufe na mkpụrụ mmiri ahụ na-emebighị, tinyere osisi niile na-eto eto nʼubi unu.
and they shall cover the face of the land, so that ye will not be able to see the land; and they shall eat the residue of that which is escaped, which ye have remaining from the hail, and shall eat every tree which ye have growing in the field;
6 Ha ga-ejupụta nʼụlọ gị, na nʼụlọ ndị na-ejere gị ozi, na nʼụlọ ndị Ijipt niile. Ihe dị otu a bụ ụdị ihe na-emetụbeghị na mbụ, nke nna gị maọbụ nna nna gị ha na-ahụtụbeghị ụdị ya site na mgbe ha bidoro ibi nʼala a tutu ruo ugbu a.’” Mgbe ahụ, Mosis tụgharịrị hapụ Fero pụọ.
and they shall fill thy houses, and the houses of all thy bondmen, and the houses of all the Egyptians; which neither thy fathers nor thy fathers' fathers have seen, since the day that they were upon the earth unto this day. And he turned and went out from Pharaoh.
7 Ndị na-ejere Fero ozi bịakwutere ya, jụọ ya sị, “Ruo ole mgbe ka nwoke a ga-anọgide na-abụrụ anyị ihe ọnwụnwa? Hapụ ndị a ka ha laa, ka ha nwee ike ife Onyenwe anyị Chineke ha ofufe. Ọ bụ na ị ghọtabeghị na e bibiela Ijipt?”
And Pharaoh's bondmen said to him, How long shall this man be a snare to us? let the men go, that they may serve Jehovah their God: dost thou not yet know that Egypt is ruined?
8 Mgbe ahụ, a kpọghachiri Mosis na Erọn azụ nʼihu Fero. Ọ gwara ha sị, “Ọ dị mma, gaa feenụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu ofufe.” Fero jụkwara ha sị, “Olee ndị nʼetiti unu ga-eso unu jee?”
And Moses and Aaron were brought again to Pharaoh. And he said to them, Go, serve Jehovah your God. Who are they that shall go?
9 Mosis zaghachiri sị, “Anyị niile na-aga, ụmụntakịrị na ndị okenye, ụmụ anyị ndị ikom na ndị inyom, igwe ehi anyị na igwe ewu na atụrụ anyị; nʼihi na anyị na-aga ime mmemme dị nsọ nye Onyenwe anyị.”
And Moses said, We will go with our young and with our old, with our sons and with our daughters; with our flocks and with our herds will we go; for we have a feast of Jehovah.
10 Fero sịrị, “Ka Onyenwe anyị nọnyere unu. Ma agaghị m ekwe ka unu na ndị inyom unu, na ụmụntakịrị unu gaa. O doro anya na unu na-atụ atụmatụ ọjọọ nʼime obi unu.
And he said to them, Let Jehovah be so with you, as I let you go, and your little ones: see that evil is before you!
11 Ọ gaghị adị otu a! Jeenụ naanị unu bụ ndị ikom gaa fee Onyenwe anyị unu ofufe, nʼihi na nke a bụ ihe unu na-arịọ.” Mgbe ahụ a chụpụrụ Mosis na Erọn site nʼihu Fero.
Not so: go now, ye [that are] men, and serve Jehovah! for it is that ye have desired. And they were driven out from Pharaoh's presence.
12 Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis sị, “Setịpụ aka gị nʼala Ijipt ka igurube jupụta na ya, kpuchie ebe niile, richapụ ihe niile na-eto eto dị nʼala ahụ bụ nke ifufe na mkpụrụ mmiri ahụ hapụrụ.”
And Jehovah said to Moses, Stretch out thy hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up over the land of Egypt, and eat every herb of the land — all that the hail hath left.
13 Ya mere, Mosis setịpụrụ mkpanaka ya nʼelu ala Ijipt, Onyenwe anyị mere ka ifufe nke si nʼebe anyanwụ si awa fee nʼụbọchị ahụ niile na abalị ahụ niile. Nʼụtụtụ ya, ifufe ahụ si nʼebe anyanwụ si awa bubatara igurube ndị ahụ.
And Moses stretched out his staff over the land of Egypt, and Jehovah brought an east wind on the land all that day and all that night. When it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts.
14 Ha niile kpuchichara ala Ijipt niile, site nʼotu akụkụ ruo nʼakụkụ nke ọzọ. Nke a bụ mbata igurube kachasị ibe ya njọ nʼIjipt. Ijipt agaghị enwekwa nke dịka ya ọzọ.
And the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested in all the borders of Egypt, very grievous; before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after them will be such.
15 Ha kpuchiri ala niile ruo mgbe ọchịchịrị gbachiri ya. Ha richapụrụ ihe niile na-eto nʼubi, na mkpụrụ niile na-amị nʼosisi, bụ nke ifufe na mkpụrụ mmiri ukwu ahụ hapụrụ. Nʼikpeazụ, ọ dịghị ahịhịa ndụ fọdụrụ nʼala ma nʼelu osisi nʼIjipt niile.
And they covered the face of the whole land, so that the land was darkened; and they ate every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees that the hail had left; and there remained not any green thing on the trees, and in the herbs of the field, throughout the land of Egypt.
16 Na-atụfughị oge, Fero ziri ozi ka a kpọọ Mosis na Erọn. Mgbe ha bịara, ọ gwara ha sị, “Emehiela m megide unu na Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke unu.
And Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron in haste; and he said, I have sinned against Jehovah your God, and against you.
17 Biko gbagharakwa m mmehie nke a, ma rịọọ Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke unu ka o wepụrụ m ọnwụ nke a. Ekwere m nkwa na agaghị m ajụkwa ọzọ ka unu laa.”
And now, forgive, I pray you, my sin only this time, and intreat Jehovah your God that he may take away from me this death only!
18 Mosis hapụrụ Fero pụọ gaa kpeere Onyenwe anyị ekpere.
And he went out from Pharaoh, and intreated Jehovah.
19 Ngwangwa, Onyenwe anyị zitere ikuku nke si nʼebe anyanwụ na-ada bịa, nke bupụrụ igurube ndị ahụ site nʼala Ijipt, buba ha nʼOsimiri Uhie. Ọ dịkwaghị otu igurube fọdụrụ nʼala Ijipt niile.
And Jehovah turned a very powerful west wind, which took away the locusts, and drove them into the Red Sea: there remained not one locust in all the borders of Egypt.
20 Ma Onyenwe anyị mere ka obi Fero sie ike, o kweghị ka ụmụ Izrel gaa fee Chineke ofufe.
And Jehovah made Pharaoh's heart stubborn, and he did not let the children of Israel go.
21 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis sị, “Setịpụ aka gị abụọ nʼeluigwe ka ọchịchịrị gbaa nʼala Ijipt niile.”
And Jehovah said to Moses, Stretch out thy hand toward the heavens, that there may be darkness in the land of Egypt — so that one may feel darkness.
22 Mosis setịpụrụ aka ya nʼeluigwe. Oke ọchịchịrị gbara abalị atọ nʼala Ijipt niile.
And Moses stretched out his hand toward the heavens; and there was a thick darkness throughout the land of Egypt three days:
23 Ndị Ijipt ahụghị ihu ibe ha. Ha ahapụghịkwa ebe obibi ha abalị atọ ahụ. Ma ụmụ Izrel nwere ìhè nʼebe niile ha bi.
they saw not one another, neither rose any from his place, for three days. But all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.
24 Mgbe ahụ, Fero kpọrọ Mosis sị ya, “Gaanụ fee Onyenwe anyị unu ofufe. Unu na ndị inyom na ụmụ unu nwere ike ịga, ma unu ga-ahapụ igwe ehi unu na igwe anụ ụlọ unu gaa.”
And Pharaoh called Moses and said, Go, serve Jehovah; only, let your flocks and your herds remain; let your little ones also go with you.
25 Mosis zara, “Ị ghaghị ịhapụ anyị ka anyị were ihe aja na aja nsure ọkụ, nke anyị chee nʼihu Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị.
And Moses said, Thou must give also sacrifices and burnt-offerings into our hands, that we may sacrifice to Jehovah our God.
26 Igwe anụ ụlọ anyị ga-esoro anyị. O nweghị ihe ọ bụla anyị ga-ahapụ nʼihi na anyị ga-eji ụfọdụ nʼime ha fee Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị ofufe. Ọ bụkwa naanị mgbe anyị ruru nʼebe ahụ ka anyị nwere ike ịmata ihe anyị ga-eji fee Onyenwe anyị anyị ofufe.”
Our cattle also must go with us: there shall not a hoof be left behind; for we must take thereof to serve Jehovah our God; and we do not know with what we must serve Jehovah, until we come there.
27 Ma Onyenwe anyị mere ka obi Fero sie ike. O kweghị ka ha laa.
But Jehovah made Pharaoh's heart stubborn, and he would not let them go.
28 Fero gwara Mosis sị, “Si nʼihu m pụọ. Lezie anya hụ na ị bịaghị nʼihu m ọzọ. Ụbọchị ọbụla ị nwara bịa nʼihu m, onye nwụrụ anwụ ka ị ga-abụ.”
And Pharaoh said to him, Get thee from me, take heed to thyself, see my face no more; for in the day thou seest my face thou shalt die.
29 Mosis zaghachiri Fero sị, “Ihe i kwuru dị mma, agaghị m abịakwa nʼihu gị ọzọ.”
And Moses said, Thou hast spoken rightly: I will see thy face again no more!
