1 Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Genda ewa Falaawo omugambe nti, Mukama Katonda wa Abaebbulaniya agambye nti, ‘Leka abantu bange bagende, bansinze.
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 Singa ogaana okubakkiriza okugenda, n’oyongera okubakuumira wano,
For if thou refusest to let them go, and still holdest on to them,
3 Mukama ajja kusindika nsotoka omukambwe ennyo mu magana go agali mu malundiro, ne mu mbalaasi ne mu ndogoyi, ne mu ŋŋamira, ne mu zisseddume z’ente ne mu ndiga.
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 Naye Mukama ajja kwawulamu amagana aga Isirayiri n’aga Misiri, waleme kubaawo nsolo n’emu efa mu magana ag’abaana ba Isirayiri.’”
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 Mukama n’alonda ekiseera, n’agamba nti, “Enkya Mukama w’anaakolera ekintu kino mu nsi eno.”
And the Lord appointed a set time, saying, Tomorrow will the Lord do this thing in the land.
6 Era enkeera Mukama n’akola ekikolwa ekyo: amagana aga Misiri gonna ne gafa, naye ne wataba nsolo n’emu ku magana ag’abaana ba Isirayiri eyafa.
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 Falaawo n’atuma abantu okwetegereza, ne basanga nga tewali wadde ensolo n’emu ey’abaana ba Isirayiri eyali efudde. Naye era omutima gwa Falaawo ne gusigala nga gukyakakanyadde, Abayisirayiri n’atabakkiriza kugenda.
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 Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa ne Alooni nti, “Muyoole mu kyokero embatu z’omunyale, Musa agumanse waggulu mu bbanga nga ne Falaawo alaba.
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 Gujja kufuuka nfuufu mu nsi yonna ey’e Misiri, guleete amayute ku bantu ne ku nsolo aganaatulikamu amabwa mu nsi yonna ey’e Misiri.”
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 Bwe batyo ne bayoola omunyale mu kyokero, ne bagenda bayimirira mu maaso ga Falaawo. Musa n’amansa evvu waggulu mu bbanga, ne lifuuka amayute, ne gatulikamu amabwa ku bantu ne ku nsolo.
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 Abalogo ne batasobola kuyimirira mu maaso ga Musa olw’amayute; kubanga amayute gaakwata abalogo n’Abamisiri bonna.
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 Naye Mukama n’akakanyaza omutima gwa Falaawo, n’atawuliriza Musa ne Alooni, era nga Mukama bwe yagamba Musa.
And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he hearkened not unto them; as the Lord had spoken unto Moses.
13 Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Ozuukuka mu makya nnyo, n’ogenda oyolekera Falaawo, n’omugamba nti, Mukama Katonda wa Abaebbulaniya agamba bw’ati nti, ‘Leka abantu bange bagende, bampeereze.
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 Kubanga ku mulundi guno nzija kukusindikira kawumpuli ku ggwe kennyini, ne ku baweereza bo, ne ku bakungu bo, olyoke otegeere nga tewali ali nga nze mu nsi yonna.
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 Kubanga nandiyinzizza okugolola omukono gwange ne nkusindikira olumbe, ggwe n’abantu bo, ne lubamalawo ku nsi.
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 Naye olw’ensonga eno kyennava nkuleka n’obeera mulamu, ndyoke njolese amaanyi gange, era n’erinnya lyange liryoke litegeezebwe mu nsi yonna.
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 Kyokka okyekulumbaliza ku bantu bange n’otobakkiriza kugenda,
If thou dost yet wantonly oppress my people, so as not to let them go:
18 noolwekyo, enkya obudde nga bwe buti, nzija kusindika kibuyaga ow’omuzira ogw’amayinja ogutagwangako mu Misiri kasookedde ensi eyo ebaawo.
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 Kale, lagira bayingize amagana go ag’ente, n’ebisolo byonna ebiri mu ddundiro, kubanga omuzira gujja kukuba buli muntu ali ebweru era ajja kufa; ne buli nsolo yonna eneebeera ebweru mu ddundiro gujja kugikuba efe.’”
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 Abakungu ba Falaawo abaali batya ekigambo kya Mukama, ne banguwa ne bayingiza abaddu baabwe n’amagana gaabwe.
He that feared the word of the Lord among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses;
21 Naye abo abatassaayo mwoyo ku kigambo kya Mukama ne baleka abaddu baabwe n’amagana gaabwe ebweru.
And he that regarded not the word of the Lord left his servants and his cattle in the field.
22 Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Golola omukono gwo eri eggulu, omuzira gugwe ku nsi yonna ey’e Misiri: gukube abantu, n’ensolo, ne buli kimera kyonna ekiri mu nnimiro mu Misiri.”
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 Musa n’ayolekeza omuggo gwe eri eggulu; Mukama n’asindika okubwatuka n’omuzira; laddu ne yakira ku ttaka. Bw’atyo Mukama n’atonnyesa omuzira ku nsi y’e Misiri.
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 Omuzira ne gugwa, n’okumyansa ne kwetabika n’omuzira awatali kusalako, ne guba mungi nnyo, nga tegugwangako bwe gutyo kasookedde ensi ya Misiri efuuka ggwanga.
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 Omuzira gwakuba buli kintu kyonna ekyali ebweru mu nnimiro mu nsi yonna ey’e Misiri: abantu n’ensolo; era omuzira ne gukuba buli kimera kyonna mu nnimiro, ne gusensebula emiti gyonna ku ttale.
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 Ekitundu kyokka ekitaatuukwamu muzira, kye kya Goseni, abaana ba Isirayiri gye baabeeranga.
Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, there was no hail.
27 Awo Falaawo n’atumya Musa ne Alooni, n’abagamba nti, “Leero luno nnyonoonye; Mukama ye mutuufu, naye nze n’abantu bange ffe bakyamu.
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 Weegayirire Mukama; kubanga omuzira n’okubwatuka bitwetamizza. Nzija kubaleka mugende; siraba kyemuva mweyongera kubeera wano.”
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 Musa n’addamu nti, “Olunaafuluma mu kibuga, nnaagolola emikono gyange waggulu eri Mukama ne mmusaba. Okubwatuka kunaasirika, n’omuzira gunaalekera awo okugwa; olyoke otegeere ng’ensi eno Mukama ye nannyini yo.
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 Kyokka mmanyi nga ggwe n’abakungu bo temunnatya Mukama Katonda.”
But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye are not yet afraid before the Lord God.
31 (Obugoogwa ne sayiri byakubwa ne bizikirizibwa, kubanga sayiri yali ayengera nga n’obugoogwa bumulisizza.
And the flax and the barley were smitten; for the barley was in the ear, and the flax was bolled.
32 Naye eŋŋaano n’omukyere, byo tebyayonoonebwa kubanga byali tebinnayengera.)
But the wheat and the millet were not smitten; for they are late-ripening.
33 Musa n’ava mu kibuga ewa Falaawo, n’awanika emikono gye eri Mukama ng’amusaba; okubwatuka n’omuzira ne bisirika, era n’enkuba n’ekya.
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 Naye Falaawo bwe yalaba enkuba, n’omuzira, n’okubwatuka nga birekeddaawo, ate ne yeeyongera okusobya; ye n’abakungu be ne bakakanyaza emitima gyabwe.
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 Omutima gwa Falaawo bwe gutyo ne gukakanyala; n’ataleka baana ba Isirayiri kugenda, era nga Mukama bwe yayogerera mu Musa.
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.
