Ọpụpụ 9
1 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis sị ya, “Jekwuru Fero sị ya. ‘Nke a bụ ihe Onyenwe anyị Chineke ndị Hibru kwuru, “Hapụ ndị m ka ha gaa fee m.”
And the Lord said to Moses, Go in to Pharao, and thou shalt say to him, These things saith the Lord God of the Hebrews; Send my people away that they may serve me.
2 Ọ bụrụ na ị jụ, ma gaa nʼihu igbochi ha,
If however thou wilt not send my people away, but yet detainest them:
3 aka Onyenwe anyị ga-ewebata oke ọrịa na-efe efe nke ga-abịakwasị igwe anụ ụlọ unu niile dị nʼubi. Ya bụ, ịnyịnya unu, na ịnyịnya ibu unu, na ịnyịnya kamel unu, na ehi unu, na atụrụ unu na ewu unu.
behold, the hand of the Lord shall be upon thy cattle in the fields, both on the horses, and on the asses, and on the camels and oxen and sheep, a very great mortality.
4 Onyenwe anyị ga-akpa oke nʼetiti anụ ụlọ ndị Ijipt na nke ndị Izrel. Nʼihi ya, o nweghị anụ ụlọ ọbụla si nʼetiti anụ ụlọ ndị Izrel ga-anwụ.’”
And I will make a marvellous distinction in that time between the cattle of the Egyptians, and the cattle of the children of Israel: nothing shall die of all that is of the children's of Israel.
5 Onyenwe anyị ekwuola oge nke a ga-amalite sị, “Echi ka Onyenwe anyị ga-eme ihe dị otu a nʼala a.”
And God fixed a limit, saying, To-morrow the Lord will do this thing on the land.
6 Nʼụtụtụ echi ya, Onyenwe anyị mere dịka o kwuru. Igwe anụ ụlọ niile dị nʼIjipt nwụrụ. Ma ọ dịghị otu nʼime anụ ụlọ ụmụ Izrel nwụrụ.
And the Lord did this thing on the next day, and all the cattle of the Egyptians died, but of the cattle of the children of Israel there died not one.
7 Mgbe ahụ Fero zipụrụ ndị mmadụ ndị gara chọpụta na o nweghị otu nʼime anụ ụlọ ụmụ Izrel nwụrụ. Ma ọ bụladị mgbe ọ chọpụtara na nke a bụ eziokwu, ọ gbanweghị obi ya, ọ nọgidere jụ ikwe ka ndị Izrel laa.
And when Pharao saw, that of all the cattle of the children of Israel there died not one, the heart of Pharao was hardened, and he did not let the people go.
8 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis na Erọn sị, “Sitenụ nʼekwu e ji esi nri kporo ntụ nke Mosis ga-awụli elu nʼihu Fero.
And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, Take you handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses scatter it toward heaven before Pharao, and before his servants.
9 Ntụ ahụ ga-efesasị, dịka uzuzu nʼala Ijipt niile. Ọ ga-ebute etuto nke ga-aghọ ọnya nʼahụ ndị mmadụ na ụmụ anụmanụ dị iche iche dị nʼala ahụ niile.”
And let it become dust over all the land of Egypt, and there shall be upon men and upon beasts sore blains breaking forth both on men and on beasts, in all the land of Egypt.
10 Mosis na Erọn kpooro ntụ gaa guzo nʼihu Fero. Mgbe Fero nọ na-ele anya Mosis wụliri ntụ ahụ elu. Ọ ghọrọ etuto, nke gbawara ghọọ ọnya nʼahụ ụmụ mmadụ na ụmụ anụmanụ niile.
So he took of the ashes of the furnace before Pharao, and Moses scattered it toward heaven, and it became sore blains breaking forth both on men and on beasts.
11 Ndị majiki Ijipt enweghị ike iguzo nʼihu Mosis, nʼihi etuto ndị jupụtara ha nʼahụ dịka ọ dị nʼahụ ndị Ijipt ndị ọzọ.
And the sorcerers could not stand before Moses because of the sores, for the sores were on the sorcerers, and in all the land of Egypt.
12 Ma Onyenwe anyị mere ka obi Fero sie ike. Ọ jụrụ ige Mosis na Erọn ntị dịka Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis na ọ ga-eme.
And the Lord hardened Pharao's heart, and he hearkened not to them, as the Lord appointed.
13 Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis ọzọ sị, “Bilie nʼisi ụtụtụ echi gaa gwa Fero okwu sị ya, ‘Nke a bụ ihe Onyenwe anyị Chineke ndị Hibru kwuru, Hapụ ndị m ka ha gaa fee m ofufe.
And the Lord said to Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharao; and thou shalt say to him, These things saith the Lord God of the Hebrews, Send away my people that they may serve me.
14 Ma ọ bụghị ya, nʼoge a, aga m ezite ọrịa ọjọọ niile nke na-efe efe, ka ha bịakwasị gị, na ndị na-ejere gị ozi, na ndị Ijipt niile. Nke a ga-eme ka unu ghọta na ọ dịghị Onye ọzọ dịka m nʼelu ụwa niile.
For at this present time do I send forth all my plagues into thine heart, and the heart of thy servants and of thy people; that thou mayest know that there is not another such as I in all the earth.
15 Nʼihi na tupu oge a, agaara m esetipụ aka m, jiri ajọ ọrịa tie gị na ndị gị niile nke ga-egbuchapụ unu site nʼelu ụwa.
For now I will stretch forth my hand and smite thee and kill thy people, and thou shalt be consumed from off the earth.
16 Ma ọ bụ nʼihi nke a ka m ji guzobe gị, ka m gosipụta ike m nʼebe ịnọ, ka e nwe ike kwusaa aha m nʼụwa niile.
And for this purpose hast thou been preserved, that I might display in thee my strength, and that my name might bepublished in all the earth.
17 Ma ị nọ na-ebuli onwe gị elu megide ndị m, jụ na ha agaghị ala.
Dost thou then yet exert thyself to hinder my people, so as not to let them go?
18 Ya mere, nʼoge dịka oge a echi, aga m ezipu oke ifufe nke ya na akụmmiri igwe so nʼala Ijipt niile. Ụdị ifufe a adịbeghị mbụ nʼala Ijipt, malite nʼoge a tọrọ ntọala ya rute ugbu a.
Behold, to-morrow at this hour I will rain a very great hail, such as has not been in Egypt, from the time it was created until this day.
19 Ya mere, nye iwu ka a gaa ngwangwa nʼubi unu webata anụ ụlọ unu na ihe ndị ọzọ unu nwere nʼebe a ga-echebe ha, nʼihi na oke ifufe nke ya na mkpụrụ mmiri so ga-egbu mmadụ na anụ ụlọ ọbụla a hapụrụ nʼezi.’”
Now then hasten to gather thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the fields; for all the men and cattle as many as shall be found in the fields, and shall not enter into a house, (but the hail shall fall upon them, ) shall die.
20 Ụfọdụ ndị na-ejere Fero ozi, ndị na-atụ okwu Onyenwe anyị egwu mere ngwangwa gaa dulata anụ ụlọ ha, na ndị ohu ha.
He of the servants of Pharao that feared the word of the Lord, gathered his cattle into the houses.
21 Ma ndị ahụ na-enweghị nrube isi nye okwu Onyenwe anyị hapụrụ ndị ohu ha nakwa anụ ụlọ ha nʼọhịa.
And he that did not attend in his mind to the word of the Lord, left the cattle in the fields.
22 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis, “Setịpụ aka gị nʼeluigwe. Nke a ga-eme ifufe nke ya na mkpụrụ mmiri so malite izokwasị ala Ijipt niile, na ụmụ mmadụ, na anụmanụ, na ihe niile a kụrụ nʼubi nʼIjipt.”
And the Lord said to Moses, Stretch out thine hand to heaven, and there shall be hail on all the land of Egypt, both on the men and on the cattle, and on all the herbage on the land.
23 Mgbe Mosis setịpụrụ mkpanaka ya nʼihu eluigwe, Onyenwe anyị zidatara egbe eluigwe na oke ifufe nke ya na mkpụrụ mmiri so. Amụma egbe eluigwe chakwara nʼala. Ya mere, Onyenwe anyị zidatara oke ifufe nke ya na mkpụrụ mmiri so nʼala Ijipt.
And Moses stretched forth his hand to heaven, and the Lord sent thunderings and hail; and the fire ran along upon the ground, and the Lord rained hail on all the land of Egypt.
24 Mkpụrụ mmiri dara, amụma gbukwara nʼihu nakwa nʼazụ. Nʼezie, ọ bụ oke ifufe dị njọ, ụdị nke a na-ahụtụbeghị nʼala Ijipt kemgbe ọ ghọrọ nnukwu mba.
So there was hail and flaming fire mingled with hail; and the hail was very great, such as was not in Egypt, from the time there was a nation upon it.
25 Mkpụrụ mmiri ahụ tigburu ihe niile dị nʼọhịa, ma mmadụ ma anụmanụ niile dị nʼala Ijipt. O feturu ihe niile na-epu nʼubi, ma ahịhịa niile dị nʼosisi.
And the hail smote in all the land of Egypt both man and beast, and the hail smote all the grass in the field, and the hail broke in pieces all the trees in the field.
26 Ma akụkụ ebe mkpụrụ mmiri ndị a na-erughị bụ naanị Goshen, ebe ụmụ Izrel bi.
Only in the land of Gesem where the children of Israel were, the hail was not.
27 Mgbe ahụ Fero ziri ozi ka a kpọ Mosis na Erọn. O kwupụtara nʼihu ha sị, “Nʼoge a, emehiela m. Onyenwe anyị bụ onye ezi omume, mụ na ndị m bụ ndị mejọrọ.
And Pharao sent and called Moses and Aaron, and said to them, I have sinned this time: the Lord [is] righteous, and I and my people are wicked.
28 Kpee ekpere rịọọ Onyenwe anyị nʼihi na oke mkpụrụ mmiri na egbe eluigwe a ezuola. Aga m ekwe ka unu gaa, unu agaghị atụfukwa mgbe.”
Pray then for me to the Lord, and let him cause the thunderings of God to cease, and the hail and the fire, and I will send you forth and ye shall remain no longer.
29 Mosis gwara Fero sị ya, “Mgbe m si nʼobodo a pụọ, aga m esetipụ aka m nʼebe Onyenwe anyị nọ, egbe eluigwe a, na ifufe a nke ya na mkpụrụ mmiri so ga-akwụsịkwa. Site na nke a, ị ga-amata na ụwa niile bụ nke Onyenwe anyị.
And Moses said to him, When I shall have departed from the city, I will stretch out my hands to the Lord, and the thunderings shall cease, and the hail and the rain shall be no longer, that thou mayest know that the earth [is] the Lord's.
30 Ma amaara m na gị onwe gị na ndị na-ejere gị ozi adịghị atụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke egwu.”
But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye have not yet feared the Lord.
31 Oke ifufe ahụ nke ya na mkpụrụ mmiri so mebiri ihe a kụrụ nʼubi, dịka flakisi na ọka balị. Nʼihi na nʼoge a, ọka balị emenyela isi, flakisi etojuokwala maa ifuru.
And the flax and the barley were smitten, for the barley was advanced, and the flax was seeding.
32 Ma ifufe na mmiri ukwu ahụ emebighị ọka wiiti na spelti, nʼihi na ha achabeghị.
But the wheat and the rye were not smitten, for they were late.
33 Mosis hapụrụ Fero si nʼobodo ahụ pụọ. Ọ gbasapụrụ aka ya abụọ nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, egbe eluigwe na mkpụrụ mmiri ahụ kwụsịrị. Mmiri ozuzo kwụsịkwara izo nʼala ahụ.
And Moses went forth from Pharao out of the city, and stretched out his hands to the Lord, and the thunders ceased and the hail, and the rain did not drop on the earth.
34 Mgbe Fero hụrụ na mmiri ozuzo na mkpụrụ mmiri na egbe eluigwe akwụsịla, o mehiere ọzọ. Ya na ndị na-ejere ya ozi gara nʼihu nyịchie obi ha.
And when Pharao saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders ceased, he continued to sin; and [he] hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants.
35 Ya mere, Fero mere ka obi ya sie ike. Ọ jụrụ ikwere ka ụmụ Izrel pụọ, dịka Onyenwe anyị gwararịị Mosis.
And the heart of Pharao was hardened, and he did not send forth the children of Israel, as the Lord said to Moses.
