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 spoke to Moses, “Go in to Pharaoh, and tell him, ‘This is what the LORD says, “Let my people go, that they may serve me.
2 Soki oboyi kotika bango kokende, nakotinda etumbu ya magorodo na mokili na yo mobimba.
If you refuse to let them go, behold, I will plague 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.
The river will swarm with frogs, which will go up and come into your house, and into your bedroom, and on your bed, and into the house of your servants, and on your people, and into your ovens, and into your kneading troughs.
4 Magorodo ekomatela yo, basali na yo mpe bato na yo nyonso. › »
The frogs shall come up both on you, and on your people, and on all your servants.”’”
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. »
The LORD said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Stretch out your hand with your rod over the rivers, over the streams, and over the pools, and cause frogs to come up on 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.
Aaron stretched out 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.
The magicians did the same thing with their enchantments, and brought up 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.
Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, “Entreat the LORD, that he take away the frogs from me and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may 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.
Moses said to Pharaoh, “I give you the honor of setting the time that I should pray for you, and for your servants, and for your people, that the frogs be destroyed from you and your houses, and remain in the river only.”
10 Faraon azongisaki: — Tika ete esalema lobi. Moyize alobaki: — Iyo, ekosalema ndenge osengi, mpo oyeba ete moko te azali lokola Yawe, Nzambe na biso.
Pharaoh said, “Tomorrow.” Moses said, “Let it be according to your word, 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.
The frogs shall depart from you, and from your houses, and from your servants, and from your people. They shall remain in the river only.”
12 Sima, Moyize mpe Aron batikaki Faraon. Bongo Moyize agangaki epai na Yawe na tina na magorodo oyo atindelaki Faraon.
Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh, and Moses cried to the LORD concerning the frogs which he had brought on Pharaoh.
13 Yawe asalaki makambo oyo Moyize asengaki: magorodo ekufaki na bandako, na mapango mpe na bilanga.
The LORD did according to the word of Moses, and the frogs died out of the houses, out of the courts, and out of the fields.
14 Basangisaki yango na maboke mpe mabele elumbaki solo ya kopola.
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.
But when Pharaoh saw that there was a respite, he hardened his heart, and didn’t listen to them, as the LORD had spoken.
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.
The LORD said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Stretch out your rod, and strike the dust of the earth, that it may become lice throughout 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.
They did so; and Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and struck the dust of the earth, and there were lice on man, and on animal; all the dust of the earth became lice throughout 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.
The magicians tried with their enchantments to produce lice, but they couldn’t. There were lice on man, and on animal.
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.
Then the magicians said to Pharaoh, “This is God’s finger;” but Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he didn’t listen to them, as the LORD had spoken.
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 said to Moses, “Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh; behold, he comes out to the water; and tell him, ‘This is what the LORD says, “Let my people go, that they may serve 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.
Else, if you will not let my people go, behold, I will send swarms of flies on you, and on your servants, and on your people, and into your houses. The houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of flies, and also the ground they are on.
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.
I will set apart in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there, to the end you may know that I am the LORD on the earth.
23 Bongo nakotia bokeseni kati na bato na Ngai mpe bato na yo. Elembo yango ekosalema lobi. »
I will put a division between my people and your people. This sign shall happen by tomorrow.”’”
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.
The LORD did so; and there came grievous swarms of flies into the house of Pharaoh, and into his servants’ houses. In all the land of Egypt the land was corrupted by reason of the swarms of flies.
25 Faraon abengisaki Moyize mpe Aron, alobaki na bango: — Bokende, bobonzela Nzambe na bino mbeka kati na mokili oyo.
Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, “Go, sacrifice to 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?
Moses said, “It isn’t appropriate to do so; for we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to the LORD our God. Behold, if we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, won’t they stone us?
27 Tosengeli kotambola mikolo misato kati na esobe, sima tokobonzela Yawe, Nzambe na biso, mbeka ndenge atindaki biso.
We will go three days’ journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to the LORD our God, as he shall command 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!
Pharaoh said, “I will let you go, that you may sacrifice to the LORD your God in the wilderness, only you shall not go very far away. Pray 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.
Moses said, “Behold, I am going out from you. I will pray to the LORD that the swarms of flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people, tomorrow; only don’t let Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to the LORD.”
30 Tango Moyize abimaki na ndako ya Faraon, abondelaki Yawe
Moses went out from Pharaoh, and 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.
The LORD did according to the word of Moses, and he removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people. There remained not one.
32 Kasi na mbala oyo, Faraon ayeisaki lisusu motema na ye makasi lokola libanga mpe aboyaki kaka kotika bato kokende.
Pharaoh hardened his heart this time also, and he didn’t let the people go.
