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 Jehovah said to Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus saith Jehovah the God of the Hebrews: Let my people go, that they may serve me.
2 Ọ bụrụ na ị jụ, ma gaa nʼihu igbochi ha,
For if thou refuse to let them go, and shalt retain them still,
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 Jehovah shall be on thy cattle which is in the field, on the horses, on the asses, on the camels, on the oxen and on the sheep, with a very grievous plague.
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 Jehovah will distinguish between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt; and there shall nothing die of all that the children of Israel have.
5 Onyenwe anyị ekwuola oge nke a ga-amalite sị, “Echi ka Onyenwe anyị ga-eme ihe dị otu a nʼala a.”
And Jehovah appointed a set time, saying, To-morrow will Jehovah do this thing in 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 Jehovah did this thing on the following day, and all the cattle of Egypt died; but of the cattle of the children of Israel 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 Pharaoh sent, and behold, there was not one of the cattle of the Israelites dead. But the heart of Pharaoh 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 Jehovah said to Moses and to Aaron, Take to yourselves handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses scatter it toward the heavens before the eyes of Pharaoh.
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 it shall become fine dust over all the land of Egypt, and shall become boils on man and on cattle, breaking out [with] blisters, throughout 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.
And they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it toward the heavens; and it became boils [with] blisters breaking out on man and on cattle.
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 scribes could not stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boils were on the scribes, and on all the Egyptians.
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 Jehovah made Pharaoh's heart stubborn, and he did not hearken to them, as Jehovah had told Moses.
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 Jehovah said to Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and set thyself before Pharaoh, and say to him, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of the Hebrews: Let my people go, 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 I will at this time send all my plagues to thy heart, and on thy bondmen, and on thy people; that thou mayest know that there is none like me 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 shall I put forth my hand, and I will smite thee and thy people with pestilence; and thou shalt be cut off from 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 very cause have I raised thee up, to shew thee my power; and that my name may be declared in all the earth.
17 Ma ị nọ na-ebuli onwe gị elu megide ndị m, jụ na ha agaghị ala.
Dost thou still exalt thyself against my people, that thou wilt not 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 about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as hath not been in Egypt since its foundation until now.
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.’”
And now send, [and] secure thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field: all the men and the cattle that are found in the field, and are not brought home — on them the hail shall come down, and they 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 that feared the word of Jehovah among the bondmen of Pharaoh made his bondmen and his cattle flee into the houses.
21 Ma ndị ahụ na-enweghị nrube isi nye okwu Onyenwe anyị hapụrụ ndị ohu ha nakwa anụ ụlọ ha nʼọhịa.
But he that did not regard the word of Jehovah left his bondmen and his cattle in the field.
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 Jehovah said to Moses, Stretch out thy hand toward the heavens, that there may be hail throughout the land of Egypt, upon men, and upon cattle, and upon every herb of the field in the land of Egypt.
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 out his staff toward the heavens, and Jehovah gave thunder and hail; and the fire ran along the ground; and Jehovah rained hail on 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.
And there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as there had been none like it in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.
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 throughout the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both men and cattle; and the hail smote every herb of the field, and broke every tree of the field.
26 Ma akụkụ ebe mkpụrụ mmiri ndị a na-erughị bụ naanị Goshen, ebe ụmụ Izrel bi.
Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, was there no hail.
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 Pharaoh sent, and called Moses and Aaron, and said to them, I have sinned this time: Jehovah is the righteous [one], but I and my people are the wicked [ones].
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.”
Intreat Jehovah that it may be enough, that there be no more thunder of God and hail; and I will let you go, and ye shall stay 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 go out of the city, I will spread out my hands to Jehovah: the thunder will cease, and there will be no more hail; that thou mayest know that the earth is Jehovah's.
30 Ma amaara m na gị onwe gị na ndị na-ejere gị ozi adịghị atụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke egwu.”
But as to thee and thy bondmen, I know that ye do not yet fear Jehovah Elohim.
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 in the ear, and the flax was bolled.
32 Ma ifufe na mmiri ukwu ahụ emebighị ọka wiiti na spelti, nʼihi na ha achabeghị.
But the wheat and the spelt were not smitten; for they were not come out into ear.
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 out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread out his hands to Jehovah; and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not [any more] poured 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 Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders had ceased, and he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he, and his bondmen.
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 Pharaoh was stubborn, neither would he let the children of Israel go, as Jehovah had spoken by Moses.
