Kobima 9
1 Yawe alobaki na Moyize: « Kende koyebisa Faraon: ‹ Tala makambo oyo Yawe, Nzambe ya Ba-Ebre, 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 God of the Hebrews; Send my people away that they may serve me.
2 Soki oboyi kotika bango kokende mpe okobi kokanga bango,
If however you will not send my people away, but yet detain them:
3 loboko na Yawe ekomema mopepe ya bokono ya somo kati na bibwele na yo, oyo ezali na elanga: bampunda, ba-ane, bashamo, bangombe, bameme mpe bantaba.
behold, the hand of the Lord shall be upon your cattle in the fields, both on the horses, and on the asses, and on the camels and oxen and sheep, a very great mortality.
4 Kasi Yawe akotia bokeseni kati na bibwele ya bana ya Isalaele mpe ya bato ya Ejipito, pamba te nyama moko te ya bana ya Isalaele ekokufa. › »
And I will make a marvellous distinction in that time between the cattle of the Egyptians, and the cattle of the children of Israel: nothing shall die of all that is of the children's of Israel.
5 Yawe abongisaki tango mpe alobaki: « Lobi, Yawe akokokisa likambo oyo na mokili. »
And God fixed a limit, saying, To-morrow the Lord will do this thing on the land.
6 Mpe mokolo oyo elandaki, Yawe akokisaki yango: bibwele nyonso ya bato ya Ejipito ekufaki, kasi ebwele ata moko te ya bana ya Isalaele ekufaki.
And the Lord did this thing on the next day, and all the cattle of the Egyptians died, but of the cattle of the children of Israel there died not one.
7 Faraon atindaki bato mpo na kolandela likambo oyo mpe bamonaki ete ata ebwele moko te kati na bibwele ya bana ya Isalaele ekufaki. Atako bongo, Faraon ayeisaki lisusu motema na ye makasi mpe aboyaki kaka kotika bato kokende.
And when Pharao saw, that of all the cattle of the children of Israel there died not one, the heart of Pharao was hardened, and he did not let the people go.
8 Yawe alobaki na Moyize mpe Aron: « Botondisa maboko na bino na putulu oyo ewuti na fulu ya moto makasi, mpe tika ete Moyize abwaka yango likolo, na miso ya Faraon.
And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, Take you handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses scatter it towards heaven before Pharao, and before his servants.
9 Yango ekopanzana na mokili mobimba ya Ejipito mpe ekobimisa, kati na Ejipito mobimba, na banzoto ya bato mpe ya bibwele, babibon oyo ekokoma bapota ya kopola. »
And let it become dust over all the land of Egypt, and there shall be upon men and upon beasts sore blains breaking forth both on men and on beasts, in all the land of Egypt.
10 Bazwaki putulu na fulu ya moto mpe batelemaki liboso ya Faraon. Moyize abwakaki yango likolo mpe ebimisaki babibon oyo ekomaki bapota ya kopola na banzoto ya bato mpe ya bibwele.
So he took of the ashes of the furnace before Pharao, and Moses scattered it towards heaven, and it became sore blains breaking forth both on men and on beasts.
11 Bato ya soloka bakokaki te kotelema liboso ya Moyize likolo ya bapota oyo ezalaki na banzoto na bango mpe ya bato nyonso ya Ejipito.
And the sorcerers could not stand before Moses because of the sores, for the sores were on the sorcerers, and in all the land of Egypt.
12 Kasi Yawe akomisaki lisusu motema ya Faraon makasi mpe Faraon ayokelaki te Moyize mpe Aron, ndenge kaka Yawe alobaki yango na Moyize.
And the Lord hardened Pharao's heart, and he listened not to them, as the Lord appointed.
13 Yawe alobaki na Moyize: « Lamuka na tongo-tongo, kende kokutana na Faraon mpe loba na ye: ‹ Tala makambo oyo Yawe, Nzambe ya Ba-Ebre, 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 you shall say to him, These things says the Lord God of the Hebrews, Send away my people that they may serve me.
14 Ya mbala oyo, nakotinda mopepe na Ngai nyonso ya bokono epai na yo, epai ya bakalaka na yo mpe epai ya bato na yo, mpo oyeba ete moko te azali lokola Ngai, na mokili mobimba.
For at this present time do I send forth all my plagues into your heart, and the heart of your servants and of your people; that you may know that there is not another such as I in all the earth.
15 Pamba te kino sik’oyo, nakokaki kosembola loboko na Ngai mpe kotindela yo elongo na bato na yo nyonso, mopepe ya bokono oyo ekokaki kolimwisa bino na mokili.
For now I will stretch forth my hand and strike you and kill your people, and you shall be consumed from off the earth.
16 Kasi natikaki yo na bomoi mpo na tina oyo: kotalisa yo nguya na Ngai mpe kosala ete lokumu ya Kombo na Ngai epanzana na mokili mobimba.
And for this purpose have you been preserved, that I might display in you my strength, and that my name might bepublished in all the earth.
17 Lokola ozali kokoba koboya kotika bato na Ngai kokende,
Do you then yet exert yourself to hinder my people, so as not to let them go?
18 lobi na ngonga oyo, nakobetisa mvula ya mabanga ya moto makasi, oyo etikala nanu kobeta te wuta mokili ya Ejipito ezala.
Behold, to-morrow at this hour I will rain a very great hail, such as has not been in Egypt, from the time it was created until this day.
19 Sik’oyo, pesa mitindo ete bamema na ebombelo, bibwele na yo mpe biloko nyonso oyo ozali na yango kati na elanga. Pamba te mvula ya mabanga ekokweyela mpe ekoboma moto mpe nyama nyonso oyo bokokotisa kuna te to oyo ekotikala kati na elanga. › »
Now then hasten to gather your cattle, and all that you have in the fields; for all the men and cattle as many as shall be found in the fields, and shall not enter into a house, (but the hail shall fall upon them, ) shall die.
20 Kati na basali ya Faraon, ba-oyo babangaki Liloba na Yawe bakotisaki na lombangu bawumbu mpe bibwele na bango kati na bandako.
He of the servants of Pharao that feared the word of the Lord, gathered his cattle into the houses.
21 Kasi ba-oyo babangaki te Liloba na Yawe, batikaki bawumbu mpe bibwele na bango kati na elanga.
And he that did not attend in his mind to the word of the Lord, left the cattle in the fields.
22 Yawe alobaki na Moyize: « Sembola loboko na yo na likolo mpo ete mvula ya mabanga enoka na mokili mobimba ya Ejipito: likolo ya bato, ya bibwele mpe ya matiti nyonso oyo ebotaka na elanga kati na Ejipito. »
And the Lord said to Moses, Stretch out your hand to heaven, and there shall be hail on all the land of Egypt, both on the men and on the cattle, and on all the herbage on the land.
23 Tango Moyize asembolaki lingenda na ye na likolo, Yawe abetisaki bakake mpe mvula ya mabanga. Bakake ebetaki na mokili. Bongo Yawe anokisaki mvula ya mabanga na mokili ya Ejipito.
And Moses stretched forth his hand to heaven, and the Lord sent thunderings and hail; and the fire ran along upon the ground, and the Lord rained hail on all the land of Egypt.
24 Boye mvula ya mabanga mpe bakake ebetaki. Ezalaki mvula moko ya makasi penza oyo etikala nanu kobeta te wuta Ejipito ekoma ekolo.
So there was hail and flaming fire mingled with hail; and the hail was very great, such as was not in Egypt, from the time there was a nation upon it.
25 Ebomaki, kati na Ejipito, nyonso oyo ezalaki kati na elanga, ezala bato to bibwele; ebebisaki matiti nyonso ya elanga mpe ebukaki banzete nyonso.
And the hail struck in all the land of Egypt both man and beast, and the hail struck all the grass in the field, and the hail broke in pieces all the trees in the field.
26 Kasi enokaki te kati na etuka ya Gosheni epai wapi bana ya Isalaele bazalaki.
Only in the land of Gesem where the children of Israel were, the hail was not.
27 Faraon abengisaki Moyize mpe Aron, alobaki na bango: — Ya mbala oyo, nasali lisumu. Yawe azali sembo; ngai mpe bato na ngai tosali mabe.
And Pharao sent and called Moses and Aaron, and said to them, I have sinned this time: the Lord [is] righteous, and I and my people are wicked.
28 Bobondela Yawe mpo ete asilisa mvula ya mabanga mpe bakake. Bongo ngai nakotika bino kokende, mpe bino bokowumela lisusu awa te.
Pray then for me to the Lord, and let him cause the thunderings of God to cease, and the hail and the fire, and I will send you forth and you shall remain no longer.
29 Moyize azongisaki: — Tango nakobima na engumba, nakotombola maboko na ngai mpo na kobondela Yawe. Bakake ekosila mpe mvula ya mabanga ekonoka lisusu te, mpo ete oyeba ete mokili ezali ya Yawe.
And Moses said to him, When I shall have departed from the city, I will stretch out my hands to the Lord, and the thunderings shall cease, and the hail and the rain shall be no longer, that you may know that the earth [is] the Lord's.
30 Kasi nayebi ete, yo elongo na bakalaka na yo, bokobanga na bino kaka Yawe Nzambe te.
But as for you and your servants, I know that you have not yet feared the Lord.
31 Lino mpe Orje ebebaki, pamba te lino ebimisaki mito mpe Orje ebimisaki bafololo.
And the flax and the barley were struck, for the barley was advanced, and the flax was seeding.
32 Ble mpe epotele ebebaki te, pamba te tango na yango ya kobota ekokaki nanu te.
But the wheat and the rye were not struck, for they were late.
33 Bongo Moyize atikaki Faraon mpe abimaki libanda ya engumba. Atombolaki maboko na ye epai na Yawe; boye bakake mpe mvula ya mabanga etikaki kobeta, mpe mvula esilaki kati na Ejipito.
And Moses went forth from Pharao out of the city, and stretched out his hands to the Lord, and the thunders ceased and the hail, and the rain did not drop on the earth.
34 Tango Faraon amonaki ete mvula ya mabanga mpe bakake etiki kobeta, asalaki lisusu lisumu. Ye mpe bakalaka na ye bayeisaki lisusu mitema na bango makasi.
And when Pharao saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders ceased, he continued to sin; and [he] hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants.
35 Boye motema ya Faraon ekomaki penza makasi mpe aboyaki kotika bana ya Isalaele kokende, ndenge kaka Yawe alobaki na nzela ya Moyize.
And the heart of Pharao was hardened, and he did not send forth the children of Israel, as the Lord said to Moses.
