< 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,
Yahweh said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh, for I have hardened his heart and the hearts of his servants. I have done this to show these signs of my power 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.”
I have also done this so that you may tell your children and grandchildren the things I have done, how I have harshly treated Egypt, and how I have given various signs of my power among them. In this way you will know that I am Yahweh.”
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 said to him, “Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews, says this: '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, listen, tomorrow I will bring locusts into your land.
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 surface of the ground so that no one will be able to see the earth. They will eat the remains of whatever escaped from the hail. They will also eat every tree that grows for you in the 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, those of all your servants, and those of all the Egyptians—something neither your father nor your grandfather ever saw, nothing ever seen since the day that they were on the earth to this present day.'” Then Moses left and went out from 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 servants said to him, “How long will this man be a menace to us? Let the Israelites go so that they may worship Yahweh their God. Do you not yet realize that Egypt is 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 again to Pharaoh, who said to them, “Go worship Yahweh your God. But what people will go?”
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.”
Moses said, “We will go with our young and with our old, with our sons and our daughters. We will go with our flocks and herds, for we must hold a festival for Yahweh.”
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.
Pharaoh said to them, “May Yahweh indeed be with you, if I ever let you go and your little ones go. Look, you have some evil in mind.
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! Go, just the men among you, and worship Yahweh, for that is what you want.” Then Moses and Aaron were driven out 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 Yahweh said to Moses, “Reach out with your hand over the land of Egypt to the locusts, that they may attack the land of Egypt and eat every plant in it, everything that the hail has left.”
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 reached out with his staff over the land of Egypt, and Yahweh brought an east wind over the land all that day and night. When it was 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 went through all the land of Egypt and infested all parts of it. Never before had there been such a swarm of locusts in the land, and nothing like this will come after it.
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 surface of the whole land so that it was darkened. They ate every plant in the land and all the fruit of the trees that the hail had left. Throughout all the land of Egypt, no living green plant remained, nor any tree or plant in the fields.
16 Na tokosra el sulaklak pangnolma Moses ac Aaron ac fahk, “Nga oru ma koluk lain LEUM GOD lowos ac lain kowos.
Then Pharaoh quickly summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “I have sinned against Yahweh 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 then, forgive my sin this time, and pray to Yahweh your God that he will take this death away from me.”
18 Moses el som lukel tokosra ac pre nu sin LEUM GOD.
So Moses went out from Pharaoh and prayed to Yahweh.
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.
Yahweh brought a very strong west wind that picked up the locusts and drove them into the Sea of Reeds; not a single locust remained in all the territory of Egypt.
20 Tusruktu LEUM GOD El akupaye nunkal tokosra, ac el tia fuhlela mwet Israel in som.
But Yahweh hardened Pharaoh's heart, and Pharaoh did 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 Yahweh said to Moses, “Reach out with your hand toward the sky, so that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, darkness that may be felt.”
22 Moses el sralak paol nu lucng, ac sie lohsr matoltol apneni Egypt nufon ke len tolu.
Moses reached out with his hand toward the sky, and there was a thick darkness in 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; no one left his home for three days. However, all the Israelites had light in the place where they 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.”
Pharaoh summoned Moses and said, “Go worship Yahweh. Even your families may go with you, but your flocks and herds must remain 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 said, “You must also give us animals for sacrifices and burnt offerings so that we may sacrifice them to Yahweh 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 cattle must also go with us; not a hoof of them may be left behind, for we must take them to worship Yahweh our God. For we do not know with what we must worship Yahweh until we arrive there.”
27 LEUM GOD El akupaye nunkal tokosra, ac el tiana fuhlelosla in som.
But Yahweh hardened Pharaoh's heart, 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 said to Moses, “Go from me! Be careful about one thing, that you do not see me again, for on the day you see my face, you will die.”
29 Moses el topuk, “Pwaye sum. Kom ac fah tia sifilpa liyeyu.”
Moses said, “You yourself have spoken. I will not see your face again.”
