Okuva 10
1 Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Genda eri Falaawo, kubanga nnyongedde okukakanyaza omutima gwe, n’omutima gw’abaweereza be, ndyoke mbalage ebyamagero byange bino:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Go in to Pharao: for I have hardened his heart and the heart of his servants, that these signs may come upon them; in order
2 era naawe onyumize abaana bo, n’abaana b’abaana bo, ebintu bye nkoledde mu Misiri, n’ebyamagero bye mbalaze; nammwe mulyoke mutegeere nga nze Mukama.”
that you may relate in the ears of your children, and to your children's children, in how many things I have mocked the Egyptians, and my wonders which I wrought among them; and you shall know that I [am] the Lord.
3 Awo Musa ne Alooni ne bagenda ewa Falaawo, ne bamugamba nti, “Mukama Katonda wa Abaebbulaniya n’agamba bw’ati nti, ‘Olituusa ddi ng’okyagaanye okwetoowaza mu maaso gange? Leka abantu bange bagende, bansinze.
And Moses and Aaron went in before Pharao, and they said to him, These things says the Lord God of the Hebrews, How long do you refuse to reverence me? Send my people away, that they may serve me.
4 Singa ogaana okubakkiriza okugenda, enkya nzija kuleeta enzige mu nsi yo.
But if you will not send my people away, behold, at this hour to-morrow I will bring an abundance of locusts upon all your coasts.
5 Zijja kubikka ensi yonna, wabulewo n’omuntu w’ayisa eriiso okulaba ettaka. Zijja kulya ebyo omuzira bye gwalekawo, zirye ne buli muti ogukula mu nnimiro.
And they shall cover the face of the earth, and you shall not be able to see the earth; and they shall devour all that is left of the abundance of the earth, which the hail has left you, and shall devour every tree that grows for you on the land.
6 Zinajjuza amayumba go, n’amayumba g’abakungu bo bonna, n’amayumba g’Abamisiri bonna; ekyo bakadde bo, ne bakadde ba bakadde bo nga tebakirabangako kasookedde babeera mu nsi eno n’okutuusa leero.’” Musa n’akyuka n’aviira Falaawo.
And your houses shall be filled, and the houses of your servants, and all the houses in all the land of the Egyptians; things which your fathers have never seen, nor their forefathers, from the day that they were upon the earth until this day. And Moses turned away and departed from Pharao.
7 Abakungu ba Falaawo ne bamugamba nti, “Omusajja ono alituusa ddi ng’atufuukidde omutego? Leka abantu bagende basinze Mukama Katonda waabwe. Ggwe tolaba Misiri nga bw’eweddewo?”
And the servants of Pharao say to him, How long shall this be a snare to us? send away the men, that they may serve their God; will you know that Egypt is destroyed?
8 Musa ne Alooni ne bazzibwa awali Falaawo. N’abagamba nti, “Kale, mugende musinze Mukama Katonda wammwe. Naye abagenda be baani?”
And they brought back both Moses and Aaron to Pharao; and he said to them, Go and serve the Lord your God; but who are they that are going with you?
9 Musa n’addamu nti, “Abakulu n’abato, batabani baffe ne bawala baffe bonna tujja kugenda nabo; era tugenda n’amagana gaffe n’ebisibo byaffe, kubanga waliwo embaga gye tujja okukolera Mukama.”
And Moses said, We will go with the young and the old, with our sons, and daughters, and sheep, and oxen, for it is a feast of the Lord.
10 Falaawo n’abagamba nti, “Mukama abeere nammwe, obanga mulowooza nga nzija kubaleka mugende, mmwe n’abaana bammwe! Nze ndaba nga mulina olukwe lwe muteekateeka.
And he said to them, So let the Lord be with you: as I [will] send you away, [must I send away] you store also? see that evil is attached to you.
11 Nedda! Abasajja bokka ka bagende basinzeMukama; kubanga ekyo kye mwagala.” Ne bagobebwa awali Falaawo.
Not so, but let the men go and serve God, for this you yourselves seek; and they cast them out from the presence of Pharao.
12 Awo Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti, “Golola omukono gwo ku nsi ya Misiri oyite enzige, zijje ku nsi ya Misiri, zirye buli kantu konna akamera mu nnimiro, n’ebyo byonna omuzira bye gwataliza.”
And the Lord said to Moses, Stretch out your hand over the land of Egypt, and let the locust come up on the land, and it shall devour every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees, which the hail left.
13 Musa n’agolola omuggo gwe ku nsi ya Misiri; Mukama Katonda n’aleeta embuyaga ezaava ebuvanjuba, ne zikunta olunaku olwo lwonna n’ekiro kyonna. Obudde bwe bwakya embuyaga ne zireeta enzige.
And Moses lifted up his rod towards heaven, and the Lord brought a south wind upon the earth, all that day and all that night: the morning dawned, and the south wind brought up the locusts,
14 Enzige nnyingi nnyo ne zigwa ku nsi yonna ey’e Misiri, ne zigisaanikira, okuva ku nsalo yaayo ey’oluuyi olumu okutuuka ku y’oluuyi olulala. Zaali nzige za kabi kanene, nga tewalabikanga ziri ng’ezo, era tezigenda kulabika.
and brought them up over all the land of Egypt. And they rested in very great abundance over all the borders of Egypt. Before them there were not such locusts, neither after them shall there be.
15 Zaabuutikira ensi yonna, ne wabaawo ekizikiza ku nsi; ne zirya buli kimera kyonna mu nsi, n’ebibala byonna eby’emiti omuzira bye gwali gutalizza; era tewaasigalawo kintu kyonna kya kiragala ku miti n’ebimera mu nnimiro, mu nsi yonna ey’e Misiri.
And they covered the face of the earth, and the land was wasted, and they devoured all the herbage of the land, and all the fruit of the trees, which was left by the hail: there was no green thing left on the trees, nor on all the herbage of the field, in all the land of Egypt.
16 Awo Falaawo n’atumya Musa ne Alooni bunnambiro, n’abagamba nti, “Nnyonoonye eri Mukama Katonda wammwe ne gye muli.
And Pharao hasted to call Moses and Aaron, saying, I have sinned before the Lord your God, and against you;
17 Mbeegayiridde munsonyiwe olw’okwonoona kwange, omulundi guno gwokka; era musabe Mukama Katonda wammwe anziggyeeko olumbe luno lwokka olututta.”
pardon therefore my sin yet this time, and pray to the Lord your God, and let him take away from me this death.
18 Musa n’ava ewa Falaawo ne yeegayirira Mukama.
And Moses went forth from Pharao, and prayed to God.
19 Awo Mukama n’aleeta embuyaga ez’amaanyi ennyo nga ziva ebuvanjuba, ne zisitula enzige ne zizisuula mu Nnyanja Emyufu. Tewaasigala nzige n’emu wonna wonna mu nsi y’e Misiri.
And the Lord brought in the opposite direction a strong wind from the sea, and took up the locusts and cast them into the Red Sea, and there was not one locust left in all the land of Egypt.
20 Naye Mukama n’akakanyaza omutima gwa Falaawo, abaana ba Isirayiri n’atabakkiriza kugenda.
And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharao, and he did not send away the children of Israel.
21 Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Golola omukono gwo waggulu eri eggulu, wabeewo ekizikiza ku nsi ey’e Misiri; ekizikiza ekiyinza n’okuwulikika.”
And the Lord said to Moses, Stretch out your hand to heaven, and let there be darkness over the land of Egypt—darkness that may be felt.
22 Musa n’agolola omukono gwe eri eggulu; ne wabaawo ekizikiza ekikwafu mu nsi yonna ey’e Misiri okumala ennaku ssatu.
And Moses stretched out his hand to heaven, and there was darkness very black, even a storm over all the land of Egypt three days.
23 Abantu bonna nga tewali asobola kulaba munne; era tewaali yaseguka kuva mu kifo kye w’abeera okumala ennaku ssatu. Naye bo abaana ba Isirayiri ewaabwe ng’obudde bulaba.
And for three days no man saw his brother, and no man rose up from his bed for three days: but all the children of Israel had light in all the places where they were.
24 Awo Falaawo n’atumya Musa, n’amugamba nti, “Mugende musinze Mukama. Abaana bammwe nabo mugende nabo, wabula ente zammwe, n’embuzi n’endiga ze ziba zisigala.”
And Pharao called Moses and Aaron, saying, Go, serve the Lord your God, only leave your sheep and your oxen, and let your store depart with you.
25 Naye Musa n’addamu nti, “Osaana otuleke tutwale ebisolo eby’okuwaayo ssaddaaka n’ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa eri Mukama Katonda waffe.
And Moses said, Nay, but you shall give to us whole burnt offerings and sacrifices, which we will sacrifice to the Lord our God.
26 Ente zaffe tusaana okugenda nazo; tewali nsolo n’emu eneesigala. Kubanga kitusaanira okuzitwala nga tugenda okusinza Mukama Katonda waffe; kubanga tujja kumala kutuuka eri, ne tulyoka tumanya kye tunaakozesa mu kusinza Mukama.”
And our cattle shall go with us, and we will not leave a hoof behind, for of them we will take to serve the Lord our God: but we know not in what manner we shall serve the Lord our God, until we arrive there.
27 Naye Mukama n’akakanyaza omutima gwa Falaawo, n’atabaleka kugenda.
But the Lord hardened the heart of Pharao, and he would not let them go.
28 Falaawo n’agamba Musa nti, “Nva mu maaso! Era weekuume, sikulabanga ng’okomyewo w’endi; bwe ndiddayo okukulaba tolirema kufa.”
And Pharao says, Depart from me, beware of seeing my face again, for in what day you shall appear before me, you shall die.
29 Musa n’addamu nti, “Nga bw’ogambye, nange siriddayo kukulaba.”
And Moses says, You have said, I will not appear in your presence again.
