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 unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, and speak to him, Thus hath said the Eternal, the God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
2 Soki oboyi kotika bango kokende mpe okobi kokanga bango,
For if thou refusest to let them go, and still holdest on to 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 will be sent against thy cattle which is in the field, against the horses, against the asses, against the camels, against the oxen, and against the sheep; —a very grievous pestilence.
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 the Lord will distinguish between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt; and not one head shall die of all that belongeth to the children of Israel.
5 Yawe abongisaki tango mpe alobaki: « Lobi, Yawe akokokisa likambo oyo na mokili. »
And the Lord appointed a set time, saying, Tomorrow will the Lord do this thing in 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 morrow, and all the cattle of Egypt 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 Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there had not died of the cattle of the Israelites even one; but the heart of Pharaoh remained 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 said unto Moses and unto Aaron, Take unto yourselves your hands full of soot of the furnace, and let Moses throw it heavenward before the eyes of Pharaoh.
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 it shall become small dust over all the land of Egypt, and shall become upon man and beast an inflammation, producing boils, throughout 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.
And they took the soot of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses threw it up heavenward; and it became an inflammation, producing boils, upon man, and upon beast.
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 magicians could not stand before Moses because of the inflammation; for the inflammation was upon the magicians, and upon all the Egyptians.
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 the heart of Pharaoh, and he hearkened not unto them; as the Lord had spoken unto Moses.
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 unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and place thyself before Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus hath said the Eternal, the God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, 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 time I send all my plagues against thy heart, and against thy servants, and against thy people; in order that thou mayest know that there is none like me on 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 even now I might have stretched out my hand, and I might have smitten thee and thy people with the pestilence; and thou wouldst have been cut off from 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.
But for this cause have I allowed thee to remain, in order to show thee my power; and in order that they may proclaim my name throughout all the earth.
17 Lokola ozali kokoba koboya kotika bato na Ngai kokende,
If thou dost yet wantonly oppress 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, then will I let rain, about this time tomorrow, a very grievous hail, the like of which hath not been in Egypt since the day of its foundation even until now.
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. › »
And now send, and bring under shelter thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field; [for] every man and beast that shall be found in the field, and shall not be brought into the house, upon them shall the hail come down, and they 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 that feared the word of the Lord among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses;
21 Kasi ba-oyo babangaki te Liloba na Yawe, batikaki bawumbu mpe bibwele na bango kati na elanga.
And he that regarded not the word of the Lord left his servants and his cattle in the field.
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 unto Moses, Stretch forth thy hand toward heaven, and there shall be hail in all the land of Egypt, upon man, and upon beast, and upon every herb of the field, in the land of Egypt.
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 staff toward heaven; and the Lord sent thunder and hail, and the fire ran down to the ground; and the Lord rained hail upon 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.
And there was hail, and fire was flaming up amidst the hail, very grievous, the like of which had not been in all the land of Egypt, since it had become a nation.
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 smote throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and beast; and every herb of the field did the hail smite, and every tree of the field did it break.
26 Kasi enokaki te kati na etuka ya Gosheni epai wapi bana ya Isalaele bazalaki.
Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, there was no hail.
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 Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and he said unto them, I have sinned this time; the Eternal is the righteous, and I and my people are the wicked.
28 Bobondela Yawe mpo ete asilisa mvula ya mabanga mpe bakake. Bongo ngai nakotika bino kokende, mpe bino bokowumela lisusu awa te.
Entreat the Lord that there may be no more of the thunders of God, and hail; and I will let you go, and ye shall no longer stay here.
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 unto him, As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will spread out my hands unto the Lord: the thunders shall cease, and the hail shall not be any more; in order that thou mayest know how that to the Lord belongeth the earth.
30 Kasi nayebi ete, yo elongo na bakalaka na yo, bokobanga na bino kaka Yawe Nzambe te.
But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye are not yet afraid before the Lord God.
31 Lino mpe Orje ebebaki, pamba te lino ebimisaki mito mpe Orje ebimisaki bafololo.
And the flax and the barley were smitten; for the barley was in the ear, and the flax was bolled.
32 Ble mpe epotele ebebaki te, pamba te tango na yango ya kobota ekokaki nanu te.
But the wheat and the millet were not smitten; for they are late-ripening.
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 away from Pharaoh out of the city, and spread out his hands unto the Lord: and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured out upon 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 Pharaoh saw that the rain, and the hail, and the thunders had ceased, he sinned yet farther, and hardened his heart, he and 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 Pharaoh remained hardened, and he did not let the children of Israel go; as the Lord had spoken by the hand of Moses.
