Ọpụpụ 8
1 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis sị, “Jekwuru Fero gwa ya, ‘Nke a bụ ihe Onyenwe anyị kwuru. Hapụ ndị m, ka ha gaa fee m ofufe.
And the Lord said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus hath said the Lord, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
2 Ọ bụrụ na ị jụ ịhapụ ha ka ha gaa, aga m eme ka awọ jupụta nʼala Ijipt niile.
And if thou refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs:
3 Osimiri Naịl ga-ejupụta nʼawọ. Ha ga-abata nʼụlọeze gị na nʼime ọnụụlọ ndina gị, ma nʼelu ihe ndina gị, ma nʼụlọ ndị na-ejere gị ozi, ma nʼụlọ ndị gị niile, na nʼebe a na-esi nri, ma nʼime ihe e ji agwakọta ụtụ ọka.
And the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly, and they shall go up and come into thy house, and into thy sleeping-chamber, and upon thy bed, and into the house of thy servants, and among thy people, and into thy ovens, and into thy kneading-troughs;
4 Awọ ndị a ga-arịgokwa nʼahụ gị, na nʼahụ ndị gị, na nʼahụ ndị na-ejere gị ozi.’”
And upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon all thy servants, shall the frogs come up.
5 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis sị, “Gwa Erọn, ‘Setịpụ aka gị ya na mkpanaka gị nʼelu osimiri niile, na mmiri nta na ọdọ mmiri ndị Ijipt, mee ka awọ jupụta ala Ijipt niile.’”
And the Lord said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch forth thy hand with thy staff over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and cause the frogs to come up over the land of Egypt.
6 Erọn setịpụrụ aka nʼelu mmiri niile nke Ijipt, awọ pụtara kpuchie ala ahụ niile.
And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt.
7 Ma ndị majiki Ijipt jikwa ihe nzuzo ha mee ihe ahụ Mosis na Erọn mere. Ha mekwara ka awọ jupụta ala ahụ niile.
And the magicians did so with their secret arts, and brought up the frogs over the land of Egypt.
8 Fero kpọrọ Mosis na Erọn rịọọ ha sị, “Rịọọnụ Onyenwe anyị ka o wepụrụ mụ na ndị m awọ ndị a. Emesịa aga m ekwe ka ndị gị gaa chụọrọ Onyenwe anyị aja.”
Then did Pharaoh call for Moses and Aaron, and said, Entreat the Lord, that he may take away the frogs from me, and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may sacrifice unto the Lord.
9 Mosis zaghachiri Fero sị, “Gị ka ọ dịrị ịgwa m mgbe m ga-arịọ arịrịọ a nʼisi gị na nʼisi ndị gị, ka e wezuga awọ ndị a site nʼụlọ unu, ma hapụ naanị ndị nọ nʼosimiri Naịl.”
And Moses said unto Pharaoh, Arrogate thyself glory over me: for what time shall I entreat for thee, and for thy servants, and for thy people, to destroy the frogs from thee and from thy houses, that they may remain in the river only?
10 Mgbe ahụ Fero sịrị Mosis, “Achọrọ m ka i mee ya echi.” Mosis zaghachiri Fero sị, “Ọ dị mma, ka ọ dịrị dịka i kwuru. Mgbe ahụ, ị ga-amata na o nweghị onye dịka Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị.
And he said, For tomorrow; and he said, Be it according to thy word; in order that thou mayest know that there is none like unto the Lord our God.
11 Awọ ndị a niile ga-apụ site nʼebe ị nọ, na site nʼụlọ gị na site nʼụlọ ndị na-ejere gị ozi na site nʼụlọ ndị Ijipt niile. Ọ bụ naanị nʼosimiri Naịl ka ha ga-anọ.”
And 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 Mgbe Mosis na Erọn sitere nʼụlọ Fero pụọ, Mosis kpọkuru Onyenwe anyị ka o wepụ awọ ndị a o mere ka ha bịakwasị Fero.
And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh; and Moses cried unto the Lord on account of the frogs which he had inflicted on Pharaoh.
13 Onyenwe anyị mere ihe Mosis rịọrọ. Awọ ndị ahụ niile nwụrụ nʼime ụlọ, na nʼama, na nʼọhịa.
And the Lord did according to the word of Moses; and the frogs died out of the houses, out of the courts, and out of the fields.
14 E kpokọtara ozu awọ ndị a niile nʼebe dị iche iche. Isi ọjọọ ha wetara nʼala ahụ dị egwu.
And they gathered them together in many heaps; and the land stank.
15 Ma mgbe Fero hụrụ na awọ ndị a anwụchaala, o mechiri obi ya jụ ige Mosis na Erọn ntị, dịka Onyenwe anyị kwuru na ọ ga-eme.
But when Pharaoh saw that there was a respite, he hardened his heart, and hearkened not unto them; as the Lord had spoken.
16 Ya mere, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis sị ya, “Gwa Erọn, setịpụ mkpanaka gị, tie nʼaja nke ala nʼala Ijipt niile, aja ya ga-aghọ anwụ nta nke na-ata ata.”
And the Lord said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy staff, and smite the dust of the earth, and it shall become lice throughout all the land of Egypt.
17 Mosis na Erọn mere nke a. Mgbe Erọn setịpụrụ aka tie mkpanaka ya nʼelu ala, anwụ nta jupụtara nʼala Ijipt niile, nʼahụ ndị mmadụ, na nʼahụ anụmanụ ha. Ndanda ndị a jupụtakwara nʼuzuzu niile dị nʼala ahụ.
And they did so; and Aaron stretched out his hand with his staff, and smote the dust of the earth, and the lice were thus on man, and on beast; all the dust of the land became lice throughout all the land of Egypt.
18 Ndị Ijipt na-eme majiki gbalịrị iji ihe nzuzo ha mee otu ihe ahụ Erọn mere, ma ha enweghị ike ime ka anwụ nta ọbụla pụta. Ebe ọ bụ na anwụ nta ndị a jupụtara nʼahụ mmadụ na nʼahụ anụmanụ niile.
And the magicians did so with their secret arts to bring forth the lice, but they could not; so were the lice upon man and upon beast.
19 Naanị ihe ndị na-eme majiki gwara Fero bụ, “Nke a bụ akaọrụ Chineke.” Ma Fero mere ka obi ya sie ike. Ọ chọghị ige, ọ bụladị ndị majiki ya ntị, dịka Onyenwe anyị kwuru na ọ ga-eme.
Then said the magicians unto Pharaoh, This is a finger of God; but Pharaoh's heart remained hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as the Lord had spoken.
20 Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis sị ya, “Bilie nʼisi ụtụtụ echi jekwuru Fero. Mgbe ọ ga-aga nʼosimiri, gwa ya okwu sị, ‘Nke a bụ ihe Onyenwe anyị kwuru, Hapụ ndị m ka ha gaa fee m ofufe.
And the Lord said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and place thyself before Pharaoh; lo, he goeth forth to the water; and say unto him, Thus hath said the Lord, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
21 Ọ bụrụ na ị chọghị ime otu a, aga m eme ka igwe ijiji jupụta nʼala Ijipt niile. Ha ga-ejupụta gị nʼahụ na nʼahụ ndị na-ejere gị ozi, na nʼahụ ndị gị niile, na nʼime ụlọ unu niile.
For if thou wilt not let my people go, behold, I will send against thee, and against thy servants, and against thy people, and into thy houses various wild beasts: and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of the wild beasts, and also the ground whereon they dwell.
22 “‘Nʼụbọchị ahụ, igwe ijiji ndị a agaghị emetụ ndị nọ na Goshen ebe ndị m bi. Mgbe ahụ ka ị ga-amata na mụ bụ Onyenwe anyị bịara ije nʼala a.
And I will distinguish on that day the land of Goshen, in which my people abideth, so that no wild beasts shall be there; to the end thou mayest know that I am the Lord in the midst of the earth.
23 Aga m emekwa ka ọ pụta ìhè na o nwere ihe dị iche nʼetiti ndị m na ndị gị. Ihe ịrịbama a ga-emezukwa echi.’”
And I will put a distinction between my people and thy people; tomorrow shall this sign be.
24 Nʼechi ya, Onyenwe anyị mere dịka o kwuru. Igwe ijiji dị egwu nʼọnụọgụgụ bịara nʼala Ijipt, jupụta nʼụlọ Fero, na nʼụlọ ndị niile na-ejere ya ozi, na nʼala Ijipt niile. E mere ka ala Ijipt bụrụ ihe e ji ijiji mebie.
And the Lord did so; and there came a grievous multitude of beasts into the house of Pharaoh, and into the house of his servants; and in all the land of Egypt, the land was laid waste by reason of the wild beasts.
25 Mgbe ihe ndị a na-eme, Fero kpọrọ Mosis na Erọn gwa ha okwu sị, “Gaanụ chụọrọ Chineke unu aja, ma ka ọ bụrụ nʼala Ijipt.”
And Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, Go ye, sacrifice to your God in the land.
26 Mosis zaghachiri Fero sị, “Nke ahụ abụghị ihe ziri ezi, nʼihi na aja anyị na-aga ịchụrụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị bụ ihe rụrụ arụ nʼanya ndị Ijipt. Ọ bụrụ na anyị achụọ aja a nʼihu ha, ha ga-eji nkume tugbuo anyị.
And Moses said, It is not proper to do so; for the abomination of the Egyptians must we sacrifice to the Eternal our God: lo, if we should sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, would they not stone us?
27 Anyị ga-aga njem ụbọchị atọ nʼime ọzara gaa chụọrọ Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị aja, dịka o nyere anyị iwu ka anyị mee.”
A three days' journey will we go into the wilderness, and sacrifice to the Lord our God, just as he may say unto us.
28 Fero zaghachiri ha sị, “Aga m ekwenye ka unu ga chụọrọ Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu aja nʼọzara, ma unu agaghị aga ebe dị anya. Ugbu a, kperenụ m ekpere.”
And Pharaoh said, I will surely let you go, that ye may sacrifice to the Eternal your God in the wilderness; only do not go very far away: entreat for me.
29 Mosis zara Fero sị ya, “Ngwangwa m si nʼihu gị pụọ, aga m arịọ Onyenwe anyị arịrịọ. Echi, a ga-esite nʼụlọ Fero, na nʼụlọ ndị na-ejere ya ozi, na nʼụlọ ndị Ijipt niile wezuga ijiji ndị a. Ọ ga-adị mkpa na Fero ga-elezi anya hapụ ịghọ aghụghọ ọzọ site ịjụ ka ụmụ Izrel gaa chụọrọ Onyenwe anyị aja.”
And Moses said, Behold, I am going out from thee, and I will entreat the Lord, and the wild beasts shall depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people, tomorrow; only let not Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more, so as not to let the people go to sacrifice to the Lord.
30 Mgbe ahụ, Mosis sitere nʼihu Fero pụọ rịọọ Onyenwe anyị ka o mee ka ijiji ndị a gabiga.
And Moses went out from Pharaoh, and entreated the Lord.
31 Onyenwe anyị mere dịka Mosis rịọrọ. Ijiji ndị a sitere nʼụlọ Fero na ụlọ ndị na-ejere ya ozi na ụlọ ndị Ijipt niile pụọ. O nwekwaghị ijiji ọ bụla fọdụrụ nʼala ahụ.
And the Lord did according to the word of Moses; and he removed the wild beasts from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people; there remained not one.
32 Ma nʼoge a, Fero gara nʼihu ime ka obi ya sie ike. O kweghị ka ụmụ Izrel laa.
But Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also, and he did not let the people go.
