Exodus 10
1 Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses, “Fahla ac utyak nu ye mutal tokosra. Nga oru el ac mwet fulat lal uh in upa nankalos, ngan ku in oru mwenmen inge ye mutalos,
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh, for I have hardened his heart and the hearts of his officials, that I may perform these miraculous signs of Mine among them,
2 oayapa tuh kowos in ku in srumun nu sin tulik nutuwos ac tulik nutin tulik nutuwos ke nga tuh oru mwet Egypt uh in oana mwet lalfon ke mwenmen ma nga oru. Na kowos nukewa fah etu lah nga pa LEUM GOD.”
and that you may tell your children and grandchildren how severely I dealt with the Egyptians when I performed miraculous signs among them, so that all of you may know that I am the LORD.”
3 Ouinge Moses ac Aaron som nu yorol tokosra ac fahk nu sel, “LEUM GOD lun mwet Hebrew El fahk, ‘Ac puta kac pacl kom ac tia akpusiselye kom nu sik? Fuhlela mwet luk in som tuh elos in ku in alu nu sik.
So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and told him, “This is what the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, says: ‘How long will you refuse to humble yourself before Me? Let My people go, so that they may worship Me.
4 Kom fin srangesr na, nga ac use locust puspis nu fin acn sum lutu.
But if you refuse to let My people go, I will bring locusts into your territory tomorrow.
5 Ac fah arulana pukanten, oru elos ac afunla fin fohk uh nufon. Elos ac fah kangla ma nukewa ma af upa sac tia kunausla, finne sak ma lula.
They will cover the face of the land so that no one can see it. They will devour whatever is left after the hail and eat every tree that grows in your fields.
6 Elos ac nwakla lohm nukewa inkul sum, ac lohm nukewa sin mwet fulat lom ac mwet nukewa lom. Mwet matu lom nukewa tiana liye ma koluk ouinge emeet me.’” Na Moses el illa som.
They will fill your houses and the houses of all your officials and every Egyptian—something neither your fathers nor your grandfathers have seen since the day they came into this land.’” Then Moses turned and left Pharaoh’s presence.
7 Mwet fulat lal tokosra fahk nu sel, “Mwet se inge ac aklokoalokye kut nwe ngac? Tari fuhlela mwet Israel inge in som, elos in ku in alu nu sin LEUM GOD lalos. Ya kom tia liye lah acn Egypt arulana musalla?”
Pharaoh’s officials asked him, “How long will this man be a snare to us? Let the people go, so that they may worship the LORD their God. Do you not yet realize that Egypt is in ruins?”
8 Na folokinyukme Moses ac Aaron nu yorol tokosra, ac el fahk nu seltal, “Kowos ku in som ac alu nu sin LEUM GOD lowos. Tusruktu su ngac ac som an?”
So Moses and Aaron were brought back to Pharaoh. “Go, worship the LORD your God,” he said. “But who exactly will be going?”
9 Moses el topuk, “Kut nukewa ac som, tulik ac mwet matu wi pac. Kut ac us wen ac acn natusr, sheep ac nani natusr, ac cow natusr, mweyen kut enenu in oru sie kufwa in akfulatye LEUM GOD.”
“We will go with our young and old,” Moses replied. “We will go with our sons and daughters, and with our flocks and herds, for we must hold a feast to the LORD.”
10 Tokosra el fahk, “Nga fulahk ke LEUM GOD lah nga fah tiana fuhlela kom in us mutan ac tulik nutuwos! Kalem lah kowos akoo in tuyak lain kut.
Then Pharaoh told them, “May the LORD be with you if I ever let you go with your little ones. Clearly you are bent on evil.
11 Mo, tia ouingan! Mukul mukena ku in som ac alu nu sin LEUM GOD, fin pa ingan ma kowos lungse an.” Ke ma inge, Moses ac Aaron lillilla liki ye mutal tokosra.
No, only the men may go and worship the LORD, since that is what you have been requesting.” And Moses and Aaron were driven from Pharaoh’s presence.
12 Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses, “Sralak poum nu fin acn Egypt in use locust uh. Elos fah tuku kangla ma nukewa ma kapak, ma tia musalla ke af yohk kosra sac.”
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the land of Egypt, so that the locusts may swarm over it and devour every plant in the land—everything that the hail has left behind.”
13 Ouinge Moses el kolak sikal lal ah, ac LEUM GOD El oru sie eng in tuhyak kutulap me, in uk acn we ke len ac fong nufon se. Ke lotutang tok ah, eng uh use locust uh.
So Moses stretched out his staff over the land of Egypt, and throughout that day and night the LORD sent an east wind across the land. By morning the east wind had brought the locusts.
14 Elos rirme afunla fin facl sac nufon. Un locust inge arulana matol liki kutena ma liyeyuk meet me, ku ac fah tia pac liyeyuk tok.
The locusts swarmed across the land and settled over the entire territory of Egypt. Never before had there been so many locusts, and never again will there be.
15 Elos afunla fin fohk uh nwe ke acn uh sroalsroalla kaclos. Elos kangla ma nukewa ma af yohk kosra sac tia kunausla — fokinsak nukewa ulun sak uh wi pac. Tia ma folfolsra se lula ke sak nukewa fin acn Egypt nufon.
They covered the face of all the land until it was black, and they consumed all the plants on the ground and all the fruit on the trees that the hail had left behind. Nothing green was left on any tree or plant in all the land of Egypt.
16 Na tokosra el sulaklak pangnolma Moses ac Aaron ac fahk, “Nga oru ma koluk lain LEUM GOD lowos ac lain kowos.
Pharaoh quickly summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “I have sinned against the LORD your God and against you.
17 Ke ma inge, nunak munas nu sik ke pacl sefanna inge, ac pre nu sin LEUM GOD lowos Elan eisla mwe misa lulap se inge likiyu.”
Now please forgive my sin once more and appeal to the LORD your God, that He may remove this death from me.”
18 Moses el som lukel tokosra ac pre nu sin LEUM GOD.
So Moses left Pharaoh’s presence and appealed to the LORD.
19 Ac LEUM GOD El ekulla eng uh nu ke sie eng na upa roto me, su orani nufon locust uh ac okla nu in Meoa Srusra. Tia siefanna locust lula in facl Egypt nufon.
And the LORD changed the wind to a very strong west wind that carried off the locusts and blew them into the Red Sea. Not a single locust remained anywhere in Egypt.
20 Tusruktu LEUM GOD El akupaye nunkal tokosra, ac el tia fuhlela mwet Israel in som.
But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he would not let the Israelites go.
21 Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses, “Sralak poum nu lucng, ac sie lohsr na matoltol fah sunya acn Egypt, sie lohsr ma ku in puleyuk.”
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward heaven, so that darkness may spread over the land of Egypt—a palpable darkness.”
22 Moses el sralak paol nu lucng, ac sie lohsr matoltol apneni Egypt nufon ke len tolu.
So Moses stretched out his hand toward heaven, and total darkness covered all the land of Egypt for three days.
23 Mwet Egypt tia ku in liye sie sin sie, ac wangin sie mwet illa liki lohm sel ke pulan pacl sac. A funu mwet Israel, oasr kalem yen elos muta we.
No one could see anyone else, and for three days no one left his place. Yet all the Israelites had light in their dwellings.
24 Tokosra el pangnol Moses ac fahk nu sel, “Kowos ku in som ac alu nu sin LEUM GOD. Mutan ac tulik an ku in wi kowos som. Tusruktu sheep, nani, ac cow nutuwos an ac tia wi.”
Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and said, “Go, worship the LORD. Even your little ones may go with you; only your flocks and herds must stay behind.”
25 Moses el topuk, “Fin ouingan, kom enenu in srukak kosro mwe kisa, ac mwe kisa firir, tuh kut in kisakin nu sin LEUM GOD lasr.
But Moses replied, “You must also provide us with sacrifices and burnt offerings to present to the LORD our God.
26 Mo! Kut ac us na kosro natusr uh wi kut — tia sokofanna ac muta. Kut sifacna pa ac sule kosro ma fal ke pacl kut alu nu sin LEUM GOD lasr. Kut ac tia etu lah kosro fuka kut ac kisakin nu sel nwe ke kut sun acn we.”
Even our livestock must go with us; not a hoof will be left behind, for we will need some of them to worship the LORD our God, and we will not know how we are to worship the LORD until we arrive.”
27 LEUM GOD El akupaye nunkal tokosra, ac el tiana fuhlelosla in som.
But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he was unwilling to let them go.
28 El fahk nu sel Moses, “Tiok liki ye mutuk! Taran ngan tia sifilpa liyekomyak. Len se nga ac liye komyak uh, kom ac misa!”
“Depart from me!” Pharaoh said to Moses. “Make sure you never see my face again, for on the day you see my face, you will die.”
29 Moses el topuk, “Pwaye sum. Kom ac fah tia sifilpa liyeyu.”
“As you say,” Moses replied, “I will never see your face again.”
