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.

And the Lord said to Moses, Go in to Pharao, and you shall say to him, These things says the Lord: send forth my people, that they may serve me.

2 Soki oboyi kotika bango kokende, nakotinda etumbu ya magorodo na mokili na yo mobimba.

And if you will not send them forth, behold, I afflict all your borders 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 shall teem with frogs, and they shall go up and enter into your houses, and into your bed-chambers, and upon your beds, and upon the houses of your servants, and of your people and on your dough, and on your ovens.

4 Magorodo ekomatela yo, basali na yo mpe bato na yo nyonso. › »

And upon you, and upon your servants, and upon your people, shall the frogs come up.

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 your brother, Stretch forth with the hand your rod over the rivers, and over the canals, and over the pools, and bring up the frogs.

6 Boye Aron asembolaki loboko na ye na ngambo ya mayi ya Ejipito; bongo magorodo ebimaki mpe etondisaki mokili ya Ejipito.

And Aaron stretched forth his hand over the waters of Egypt, and brought up the frogs: and the frog was brought 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.

And the charmers of the Egyptians also did likewise with their sorceries, and brought up the frogs on 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.

And Pharao called Moses and Aaron, and said, Pray for me to the Lord, and let him take away the frogs from me and from my people; and I will send them away, and they shall 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 Pharao, Appoint me [a time] when I shall pray for you, and for your servants, and for your people, to cause the frogs to disappear from you, and from your people, and from your houses, only in the river shall they be left behind.

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 said, On the morrow: he said therefore, As you has said; that you may know, that there is no other [God] but the Lord.

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 shall be removed away from you, and from your houses and from the villages, and from your servants, and from your people, only in the river they shall be left.

12 Sima, Moyize mpe Aron batikaki Faraon. Bongo Moyize agangaki epai na Yawe na tina na magorodo oyo atindelaki Faraon.

And Moses and Aaron went forth from Pharao, and Moses cried to the Lord concerning the restriction of the frogs, as Pharao appointed him.

13 Yawe asalaki makambo oyo Moyize asengaki: magorodo ekufaki na bandako, na mapango mpe na bilanga.

And the Lord did as Moses said, 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 in heaps, and the land stank.

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.

And when Pharao saw that there was relief, his heart was hardened, and he did not listen to them, as the Lord spoke.

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, Stretch forth your rod with your hand and strike the dust of the earth; and there shall be lice both upon man, and upon quadrupeds, and in all 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.

So Aaron stretched out his rod with his hand, and struck the dust of the earth; and the lice were on men and on quadrupeds, and in all the dust of the earth there were lice.

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 charmers also did so with their sorceries, to bring forth the louse, and they could not. And the lice were both on the men and on the quadrupeds.

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.

So the charmers said to Pharao, This is the finger of God. But the heart of Pharao was hardened, and he listened not to them, as the Lord said.

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.

And the Lord said to Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharao: and behold, he will go forth to the water, and you shall say to him, These things says the Lord: Send away my people, that they may serve me in the wilderness.

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.

And if you will not let my people go, behold, I send upon you, and upon your servants, and upon your people, and upon your houses, the dog-fly; and the houses of the Egyptians shall be filled with the dog-fly, even throughout the land upon which they are.

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 I will distinguish marvelously in that day the land of Gesem, on which my people dwell, in which the dog-fly shall not be: that you may know that I am the Lord the God of all the earth.

23 Bongo nakotia bokeseni kati na bato na Ngai mpe bato na yo. Elembo yango ekosalema lobi. »

And I will put a difference between my people and your people, and on the morrow shall this be on the land. And the Lord did thus.

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 dog-fly came in abundance into the houses of Pharao, and into the houses of his servants, and into all the land of Egypt; and the land was destroyed by the dog-fly.

25 Faraon abengisaki Moyize mpe Aron, alobaki na bango: — Bokende, bobonzela Nzambe na bino mbeka kati na mokili oyo.

And Pharao called Moses and Aaron, saying, Go and sacrifice to the Lord your God in the 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 can’t be so, for we shall sacrifice to the Lord our God the abominations of the Egyptians; for if we sacrifice the abominations of the Egyptians before them, we shall be stoned.

27 Tosengeli kotambola mikolo misato kati na esobe, sima tokobonzela Yawe, Nzambe na biso, mbeka ndenge atindaki biso.

We will go a journey of three days into the wilderness, and we will sacrifice to the Lord our God, as the Lord said to 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 Pharao said, I [will] let you go, and do you sacrifice to your God in the wilderness, but do not go very far away: pray then for me to the Lord.

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, I then will go forth from you and pray to God, and the dog-fly shall depart both from your servants, and from your people to-morrow. Do not you, Pharao, deceive again, so as not to send the people away to do sacrifice to the Lord.

30 Tango Moyize abimaki na ndako ya Faraon, abondelaki Yawe

And Moses went out from Pharao, and prayed to God.

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 the Lord did as Moses said, and removed the dog-fly from Pharao, and from his servants, and from his people, and there was not one left.

32 Kasi na mbala oyo, Faraon ayeisaki lisusu motema na ye makasi lokola libanga mpe aboyaki kaka kotika bato kokende.

And Pharao hardened his heart, even on this occasion, and he would not send the people away.
