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,
The Lord told Moses, “Go and see Pharaoh, because it was me who gave him and his officials a stubborn attitude so that I may perform my miracles before 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.”
This is so you can tell your children and grandchildren how I made the Egyptians look foolish by doing these miracles among them, and so that 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.
Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and told him, “This is what the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, says: ‘How long are you going to refuse to humble yourself before me? Let my people go, so that they can worship me.
4 Kom fin srangesr na, nga ac use locust puspis nu fin acn sum lutu.
If you refuse to let my people leave, tomorrow I will send a plague of locusts into your country.
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.
There will be so many of them that they'll cover the ground so no one can see it. They will eat whatever crops were left by the hail, as well as every tree growing 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 swarm into your houses and into the houses of all your officials—in fact into the houses of every Egyptian. This is something that none of your forefathers ever saw from the time they arrived in this country.’” Then Moses and Aaron turned and left Pharaoh.
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 came to him and asked, “How long are you going to let this man cause us trouble? Let these people go so they can worship the Lord their God. Don't you realize that Egypt has been destroyed?”
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?”
Moses and Aaron were brought back to see Pharaoh. “Go and worship the Lord your God,” he told them. “But who of you 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 all go,” Moses replied. “Young and old, sons and daughters—and we'll take our flocks and herds with us, for we're going to have a religious festival for 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.
“The Lord really would have to be with you if I let your children go with you!” Pharaoh answered. “Clearly you're planning some kind of evil trick!
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.
So no! Only the men can go and worship the Lord, because that's what you've been asking for.” Then he had Moses and Aaron thrown out.
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.”
The Lord told Moses, “Lift up your hand over Egypt, so that the locusts may swarm over it and eat every plant in the country—everything that was left by the hail.”
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.
Moses held out his staff over Egypt, and all through that day and night the Lord sent an east wind blowing over the land. By the time morning came the east wind had brought in 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 in every part of the country. There had never been such a swarm of locusts ever before, and there won't be ever again.
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 ground until it looked black, and they ate up all the plants in the fields and all the fruit on the trees that had been left by the hail. Not a single green leaf was left on any tree or plant anywhere in Egypt.
16 Na tokosra el sulaklak pangnolma Moses ac Aaron ac fahk, “Nga oru ma koluk lain LEUM GOD lowos ac lain kowos.
Pharaoh called urgently for 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.”
So please forgive my sin just this one time and plead with the Lord your God, asking him to at least take away this deathly plague from me.”
18 Moses el som lukel tokosra ac pre nu sin LEUM GOD.
Moses left Pharaoh and prayed 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.
The Lord changed the direction of the wind so that a strong westerly wind blew the locusts into the Red Sea. There wasn't a single locust left anywhere in Egypt.
20 Tusruktu LEUM GOD El akupaye nunkal tokosra, ac el tia fuhlela mwet Israel in som.
But the Lord made Pharaoh stubborn, 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.”
The Lord told Moses, “Lift your hand toward the sky so that darkness will fall over Egypt, darkness so thick that it can be felt.”
22 Moses el sralak paol nu lucng, ac sie lohsr matoltol apneni Egypt nufon ke len tolu.
Moses lifted up his hand toward heaven, and the whole of Egypt went completely dark 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 no one moved from where they were for three days. But there was still light where all the Israelites lived.
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.”
Eventually Pharaoh called for Moses. “Go and worship the Lord,” he said. “Just leave your flocks and herds here. You can even take your children with you.”
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 let us have animals for sacrifices and burnt offerings, so we can offer them 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.”
Our livestock have to go with us too—not a single animal will be left behind. We'll need some of them to worship the Lord our God, and we won't know how we are to worship the Lord until we get there.”
27 LEUM GOD El akupaye nunkal tokosra, ac el tiana fuhlelosla in som.
But the Lord made Pharaoh stubborn, and he would not 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!”
Pharaoh shouted at Moses, “Get out of here! I don't want to see you ever again! If I ever do see you again you'll die!”
29 Moses el topuk, “Pwaye sum. Kom ac fah tia sifilpa liyeyu.”
“May it be as you say,” Moses replied. “I won't see you again.”
