Kobima 8
1 Sima na yango, Yawe atindaki Moyize: « Kende kokutana na Faraon mpe loba na ye: ‹ Tala makambo oyo Yawe alobi: Tika bato na Ngai kokende kogumbamela Ngai.
The Lord also said to Moses: “Enter to Pharaoh, and you will say to him: ‘Thus says the Lord: Release my people in order to sacrifice to me.
2 Soki oboyi kotika bango kokende, nakotinda etumbu ya magorodo na mokili na yo mobimba.
But if you are not willing to release them, behold, I will strike all your coasts with frogs.
3 Nili ekotonda na magorodo; bongo magorodo yango ekobima wuta na Nili, ekokota kino na ndako na yo ya bokonzi, na shambre na yo ya kolala, na mbeto na yo, na bandako ya basali na yo, na bandako ya bato na yo, na bafulu na yo ya mapa mpe kino na bisika oyo babalolaka farine.
And the river will seethe with frogs, which will go up and enter into your house, and your bedroom, and upon your bed, and into the houses of your servants and your people, and into your ovens, and into the remains of your foods.
4 Magorodo ekomatela yo, basali na yo mpe bato na yo nyonso. › »
And to you, and to your people, and to all your servants, the frogs will enter.’”
5 Yawe alobaki na Moyize: « Loba na Aron ete asembola loboko na ye mpe lingenda na ye na ngambo ya mayi, ya miluka mpe ya maziba, mpo ete abimisa magorodo na mokili ya Ejipito. »
And the Lord said to Moses: “Say to Aaron: ‘Extend your hand over the rivers, and also over the streams and the marshes, and bring forth frogs over the land of Egypt.’”
6 Boye Aron asembolaki loboko na ye na ngambo ya mayi ya Ejipito; bongo magorodo ebimaki mpe etondisaki mokili ya Ejipito.
And Aaron extended his hand over the waters of Egypt, and the frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt.
7 Kasi bato ya maji ya Ejipito mpe basalaki bikamwa ya ndenge moko na nzela ya misala na bango ya soloka: bango mpe babimisaki magorodo na mokili ya Ejipito.
Then the sorcerers also, by their incantations, did similarly, and they brought forth frogs upon the land of Egypt.
8 Faraon abengisaki Moyize mpe Aron, alobaki na bango: — Bobondela Yawe ete alongola magorodo pene na ngai mpe pene ya bato na ngai; bongo nakotika bato na bino kokende kobonzela Yawe mbeka.
But Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron, and he said to them: “Pray to the Lord, so as to take away the frogs from me and from my people. And I will release the people, so as to sacrifice to the Lord.”
9 Moyize alobaki na Faraon: — Tika ete mokonzi apona tango nini nasengeli kobondela Yawe mpo na yo, basali na yo mpe bato na yo, mpo ete Yawe alongola magorodo pene na yo mpe pene ya bandako na yo; kasi etikala kaka na ebale Nili.
And Moses said to Pharaoh: “Appoint for me a time, when I should petition on behalf of you, and your servants, and your people, so that the frogs may be driven away from you, and from your house, and from your servants, and from your people, and so that they may remain only in the river.”
10 Faraon azongisaki: — Tika ete esalema lobi. Moyize alobaki: — Iyo, ekosalema ndenge osengi, mpo oyeba ete moko te azali lokola Yawe, Nzambe na biso.
And he responded, “Tomorrow.” Then he said, “I will act according to your word, so that you may know that there is no one like the Lord our God.
11 Magorodo ekolongwa pene na yo, pene na bandako na yo, ya basali na yo mpe ya bato na yo; kasi ekotikala kaka na ebale Nili.
And the frogs will withdraw from you, and from your house, and from your servants, and from your people. And they will remain only in the river.”
12 Sima, Moyize mpe Aron batikaki Faraon. Bongo Moyize agangaki epai na Yawe na tina na magorodo oyo atindelaki Faraon.
And Moses and Aaron departed from Pharaoh. And Moses cried out to the Lord on behalf of the promise that he had made to Pharaoh concerning the frogs.
13 Yawe asalaki makambo oyo Moyize asengaki: magorodo ekufaki na bandako, na mapango mpe na bilanga.
And the Lord acted according to the word of Moses. And the frogs died out of the houses, and out of the villages, and out of the fields.
14 Basangisaki yango na maboke mpe mabele elumbaki solo ya kopola.
And they gathered them together into immense piles, and the land was polluted.
15 Kasi tango Faraon amonaki ete kimia ekoti, ayeisaki lisusu motema na ye makasi lokola libanga mpe ayokelaki te Moyize mpe Aron ndenge kaka Yawe alobaki.
Then Pharaoh, seeing that relief had been provided, hardened his own heart, and he did not listen to them, just as the Lord had instructed.
16 Yawe alobaki na Moyize: — Loba na Aron ete asembola lingenda na ye mpe abeta yango na putulu ya mabele; mpe yango ekokoma bangungi kati na mokili mobimba ya Ejipito.
And the Lord said to Moses: “Say to Aaron: ‘Extend your staff and strike the dust of the earth. And let there be stinging insects throughout the entire the land of Egypt.’”
17 Basalaki kaka ndenge wana. Tango Aron asembolaki loboko mpe lingenda na ye, abetaki yango na putulu ya mabele; bongo putulu yango ekomaki bangungi oyo ematelaki bato mpe banyama. Putulu nyonso ya mokili ya Ejipito ebongwanaki bangungi.
And they did so. And Aaron extended his hand, holding the staff, and he struck the dust of the earth, and there came stinging insects upon men and upon beasts. All the dust of the earth was turned into stinging insects through all the land of Egypt.
18 Kasi tango bato ya maji bamekaki kobimisa bangungi na nzela ya misala na bango ya soloka, balongaki te. Bongo bangungi ematelaki bato mpe banyama.
And the sorcerers, with their incantations, did similarly, in order to bring forth stinging insects, but they were not able. And there were stinging insects, as much on men as on beasts.
19 Boye bato ya maji balobaki na Faraon: « Oyo ezali penza mosapi ya Nzambe! » Kasi Faraon ayeisaki lisusu motema na ye makasi lokola libanga mpe aboyaki koyoka, ndenge kaka Yawe alobaki.
And the sorcerers said to Pharaoh: “This is the finger of God.” And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not listen to them, just as the Lord had instructed.
20 Yawe alobaki na Moyize: — Lamuka na tongo-tongo mpe kende kokutana na Faraon na tango oyo abimaka mpo na kokende na mayi. Loba na ye: « Tala makambo oyo Yawe alobi: Tika bato na Ngai kokende kogumbamela Ngai.
The Lord also said to Moses: “Arise at first light, and stand in the sight of Pharaoh, for he will go out to the waters. And you will say to him: ‘Thus says the Lord: Release my people to sacrifice to me.
21 Soki oboyi kotika bato na Ngai kokende, nakotinda banzinzi epai na yo, epai ya bakalaka na yo, epai ya bato na yo mpe kino na bandako na yo. Boye bandako ya bato na Ejipito, ezala mabele epai wapi bazali, ekotonda na banzinzi oyo eswaka.
But if you will not release them, behold, I will send upon you, and upon your servants, and upon your people, and into your houses, diverse kinds of flies. And the houses of the Egyptians will be filled with diverse kinds of flies, as well as the whole land in which they will be.
22 Na mokolo wana, nakosala bokeseni mpo na etuka ya Gosheni epai wapi bato na Ngai bazali kovanda; banzinzi oyo eswaka ekozala kuna te, mpo oyeba ete, Ngai Yawe, nazali kati na etuka yango.
And in that day, I will cause a miracle in the land of Goshen, where my people are, so that flies will not be there. And you will know that I am the Lord in the midst of the earth.
23 Bongo nakotia bokeseni kati na bato na Ngai mpe bato na yo. Elembo yango ekosalema lobi. »
And I will set a division between my people and your people. Tomorrow this sign will be.’”
24 Yawe asalaki bongo: banzinzi ebele oyo eswaka ekotaki mpe epanzanaki kati na ndako ya Faraon, na bandako ya bakalaka na ye mpe kati na mokili mobimba ya Ejipito. Boye mokili ebebisamaki na banzinzi oyo eswaka.
And the Lord did so. And there came very grievous flies into the houses of Pharaoh and of his servants, and into all the land of Egypt. And the land was polluted, in this way, by the flies.
25 Faraon abengisaki Moyize mpe Aron, alobaki na bango: — Bokende, bobonzela Nzambe na bino mbeka kati na mokili oyo.
And Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron, and he said to them, “Go and sacrifice to your God in this land.”
26 Kasi Moyize azongisaki: — Ekoki kosalema bongo te; noki te mbeka oyo tokobonzela Yawe, Nzambe na biso, ekomonana lokola eloko ya nkele na miso ya bato ya Ejipito. Boni, soki tobonzi mbeka oyo emonani lokola eloko ya nkele na miso na bango, bakobamba biso mabanga te?
And Moses said: “It cannot be so. For we will immolate the abominations of the Egyptians to the Lord our God. For if we slaughter those things which the Egyptians worship, in their presence, they will stone us.
27 Tosengeli kotambola mikolo misato kati na esobe, sima tokobonzela Yawe, Nzambe na biso, mbeka ndenge atindaki biso.
We will sojourn three days’ journey into the wilderness. And we will sacrifice to the Lord our God, just as he has instructed us.”
28 Faraon alobaki: — Nakotika bino kokende kobonzela Yawe, Nzambe na bino, mbeka kati na esobe; kasi bokende mosika te. Sik’oyo, bobondela mpo na ngai!
And Pharaoh said: “I will release you in order to sacrifice to the Lord your God in the desert. Yet you may only go so far. Petition for me.”
29 Moyize azongisaki: — Ndenge nazali kobima boye na ndako na yo, nakobondela Yawe; bongo lobi, banzinzi oyo eswaka ekolongwa epai ya Faraon, epai ya bakalaka na ye mpe epai ya bato na ye. Kasi tika ete Faraon akoba te kotiola Yawe na koboya kotika bato kokende kobonzela Yawe mbeka.
And Moses said: “After departing from you, I will pray to the Lord. And the flies will withdraw from Pharaoh, and from his servants, and from his people, tomorrow. Yet do not be willing to deceive any longer, so that you would not release the people to sacrifice to the Lord.”
30 Tango Moyize abimaki na ndako ya Faraon, abondelaki Yawe
And Moses, departing from Pharaoh, prayed to the Lord.
31 mpe Yawe akokisaki makambo oyo Moyize asengaki: banzinzi oyo eswaka etikaki Faraon, bakalaka na ye mpe bato na ye. Ata nzinzi moko te etikalaki.
And he acted according to his word. And he took away the flies from Pharaoh, and from his servants, and from his people. There was not even one left behind.
32 Kasi na mbala oyo, Faraon ayeisaki lisusu motema na ye makasi lokola libanga mpe aboyaki kaka kotika bato kokende.
And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, so that, even at this turn, he would not release the people.
