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.”
Then the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus saith the LORD, 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 wilt hold 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 the LORD is upon thy cattle which is in the field, upon the horses, upon the asses, upon the camels, upon the herds, and upon the flocks: [there shall be] a very grievous murrain.
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 the LORD shall sever between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt: and there shall nothing die of all that belongeth to the children 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 the LORD appointed a set time, saying, Tomorrow the LORD shall 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 the LORD did that thing on the morrow, 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 so much as one of the cattle of the Israelites dead. But the heart of Pharaoh was stubborn, 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 said unto Moses and unto Aaron, Take to you handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it toward the heaven in the sight 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 small dust over all the land of Egypt, and shall be a boil breaking forth with blains upon man and upon beast, throughout 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.
And they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it up toward heaven; and it became a boil breaking forth with blains upon man and upon beast.
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 magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boils were upon the magicians, and upon 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 the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had spoken unto 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 the LORD said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, 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 this time send all my plagues upon thine heart, and upon thy servants, and upon 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 I had put forth my hand, and smitten thee and thy people with pestilence, and thou hadst been 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.
but in very deed for this cause have I made thee to stand, for to shew thee my power, and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth.
17 Ma ị nọ na-ebuli onwe gị elu megide ndị m, jụ na ha agaghị ala.
As yet exaltest thou 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, tomorrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as hath not been in Egypt since the day it was founded even 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.’”
Now therefore send, hasten in thy cattle and all that thou hast in the field; [for] every man and beast which shall be found in the field, and shall not be brought home, the hail shall come down upon them, 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 the LORD among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants 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.
and he that regarded not the word of the LORD left his servants 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 the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch forth thine hand toward heaven, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, upon man, and upon beast, and upon every herb of the field, throughout 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 forth his rod toward heaven: and the LORD sent thunder and hail, and fire ran down unto the earth; and the LORD rained hail upon 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 fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as had not been 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 all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and beast; and the hail smote every herb of the field, and brake 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 for Moses and Aaron, and said unto 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.”
Entreat the LORD; for there hath been enough of [these] mighty thunderings 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 unto him, As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will spread abroad my hands unto the LORD; the thunders shall cease, neither shall there be any more hail; 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 will not yet fear the LORD God.
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 grown up.
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 abroad his hands unto the LORD: and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured upon 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 Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders were ceased, he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he and 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 Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the children of Israel go; as the LORD had spoken by Moses.
