Eksodosy 10
1 Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Mankanesa ao amin’ i Farao; fa Izaho efa nanamafy ny fony sy ny fon’ ny mpanompony, mba hanehoako izao famantarako izao eo aminy;
The Lord told Moses, “Go and see Pharaoh, because it was me who gave him and his officials a stubborn attitude so that I may perform my miracles before them.
2 ary mba holazainao ho ren’ ny zanakao sy ny zafinao izay zavatra nataoko teto Egypta sy izay famantarana nataoko teo aminy, mba ho fantatrareo fa Izaho no Jehovah.
This is so you can tell your children and grandchildren how I made the Egyptians look foolish by doing these miracles among them, and so that you may know that I am the Lord.”
3 Ary Mosesy sy Arona dia nankao amin’ i Farao ka nanao taminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Hebreo: Mandrapahoviana no handavanao tsy hanetry tena eo anatrehako? alefaso ny oloko mba hanompo Ahy.
Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and told him, “This is what the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, says: ‘How long are you going to refuse to humble yourself before me? Let my people go, so that they can worship me.
4 Fa raha mandà ka tsy mandefa ny oloko ianao, indro, hahatonga valala amin’ ny taninao rehetra Aho rahampitso;
If you refuse to let my people leave, tomorrow I will send a plague of locusts into your country.
5 dia handrakotra ny tany rehetra ireny, ka tsy ho hita ny tany; dia hohaniny ny sisan’ ny havandra, izay navela ho anareo, ka hohaniny avokoa ny hazo rehetra izay maniry ho anareo any an-tsaha;
There will be so many of them that they'll cover the ground so no one can see it. They will eat whatever crops were left by the hail, as well as every tree growing in your fields.
6 dia hameno ny tranonao sy ny tranon’ ny mpanomponao rehetra ary ny tranon’ ny Egyptiana rehetra ireny; ary tsy mbola hitan’ ny rainao na ny raibenao izay toy izay hatr’ izay andro niainany tetỳ ambonin’ ny tany ka mandraka androany. Dia nihodina izy ka niala teo amin’ i Farao.
They will swarm into your houses and into the houses of all your officials—in fact into the houses of every Egyptian. This is something that none of your forefathers ever saw from the time they arrived in this country.’” Then Moses and Aaron turned and left Pharaoh.
7 Ary hoy ny mpanompon’ i Farao taminy: Mandra-pahoviana no ho fandrika amintsika iny lehilahy iny? alefaso ireo olona ireo hanompo an’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny; tsy mbola fantatrao va fa efa simba Egypta?
Pharaoh's officials came to him and asked, “How long are you going to let this man cause us trouble? Let these people go so they can worship the Lord their God. Don't you realize that Egypt has been destroyed?”
8 Dia nisy nampiverina an’ i Mosesy sy Arona hankao amin’ i Farao indray: ary hoy izy taminy: Mandehana, manompo an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo; nefa iza avy moa no handeha?
Moses and Aaron were brought back to see Pharaoh. “Go and worship the Lord your God,” he told them. “But who of you will be going?”
9 Ary hoy Mosesy: Ny tanora sy ny antitra aminay ho entinay handeha, ary ny zanakai-lahy sy ny zanakai-vavy sy ny ondry aman’ osinay ary ny ombinay ho entinay handeha; fa hisy andro firavoravoanay ho an’ i Jehovah.
“We will all go,” Moses replied. “Young and old, sons and daughters—and we'll take our flocks and herds with us, for we're going to have a religious festival for the Lord.”
10 Fa hoy Farao taminy: Aoka homba anareo ihany anie Jehovah, raha handefa anareo mbamin’ ny zanakareo madinika aho; mitandrema, fa misy ratsy eo anoloanareo.
“The Lord really would have to be with you if I let your children go with you!” Pharaoh answered. “Clearly you're planning some kind of evil trick!
11 Tsy izany, fa mandehana ianareo lehilahy lehibe ka manompoa an’ i Jehovah, fa izany no tadiavinareo. Ary izy roa lahy dia noroahina hiala teo anatrehan’ i Farao.
So no! Only the men can go and worship the Lord, because that's what you've been asking for.” Then he had Moses and Aaron thrown out.
12 Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Ahinjiro ambonin’ ny tany Egypta ny tananao hihavian’ ny valala, dia hiakatra ho eto amin’ ny tany Egypta ireny, ary dia hihinana ny zava-maniry amin’ ny tany, dia izay rehetra sisan’ ny havandra.
The Lord told Moses, “Lift up your hand over Egypt, so that the locusts may swarm over it and eat every plant in the country—everything that was left by the hail.”
13 Dia nahinjitr’ i Mosesy tambonin’ ny tany Egypta ny tehiny, ary Jehovah nitondra rivotra avy any atsinanana hankany amin’ ny tany mandritra iny andro sy iny alina iny; ary nony maraina dia nitondra ny valala ny rivotra avy any atsinanana.
Moses held out his staff over Egypt, and all through that day and night the Lord sent an east wind blowing over the land. By the time morning came the east wind had brought in the locusts.
14 Ary ny valala niakatra ho amin’ ny tany Egypta rehetra, dia nipetraka nanerana ny tany Egypta rehetra; ary nampahory indrindra ireny, ka tsy nisy valala toy izany tany aloha, ary ato aoriany koa tsy hisy toy izany.
The locusts swarmed across the land and settled in every part of the country. There had never been such a swarm of locusts ever before, and there won't be ever again.
15 Fa nandrakotra ny tany rehetra ireny, ka efa maizina ny tany; ary nohaniny ny anana rehetra teo amin’ ny tany sy ny voankazo rehetra, izay sisan’ ny havandra; ka dia tsy nisy sisa ny zava-maitso eran’ ny tany Egypta rehetra, na tamin’ ny hazo, na tamin’ ny anana tany an-tsaha.
They covered the ground until it looked black, and they ate up all the plants in the fields and all the fruit on the trees that had been left by the hail. Not a single green leaf was left on any tree or plant anywhere in Egypt.
16 Ary Farao dia nampaka an’ i Mosesy sy Arona faingana ka nanao hoe: Efa nanota tamin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo sy taminareo aho.
Pharaoh called urgently for Moses and Aaron and said, “I have sinned against the Lord your God and against you.
17 Ary ankehitriny, masìna ianao mamela ny fahotako izao indray mandeha izao ihany, ka mangataha amin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo hampialany amiko izao mahafaty iray loha izao monja.
So please forgive my sin just this one time and plead with the Lord your God, asking him to at least take away this deathly plague from me.”
18 Dia niala teo amin’ i Farao izy ka nangataka tamin’ i Jehovah.
Moses left Pharaoh and prayed to the Lord.
19 Ary Jehovah nahatonga rivotra mahery indrindra avy andrefana kosa, izay nitondra ny valala ka namarina azy tao amin’ ny Ranomasina Mena; dia tsy nisy sisa intsony ny valala eran’ ny tany Egypta rehetra, na dia iray akory aza.
The Lord changed the direction of the wind so that a strong westerly wind blew the locusts into the Red Sea. There wasn't a single locust left anywhere in Egypt.
20 Nefa Jehovah nanamafy ny fon’ i Farao, ka tsy nandefa ny Zanak’ Isiraely izy.
But the Lord made Pharaoh stubborn, and he would not let the Israelites go.
21 Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Ahinjiro manandrify ny lanitra ny tananao, mba hisy aizina amin’ ny tany Egypta, dia aizina azo tsapaina.
The Lord told Moses, “Lift your hand toward the sky so that darkness will fall over Egypt, darkness so thick that it can be felt.”
22 Dia nahinjitr’ i Mosesy nanandrify ny lanitra ny tànany; dia nisy aizim-pito eran’ ny tany Egypta rehetra hateloana,
Moses lifted up his hand toward heaven, and the whole of Egypt went completely dark for three days.
23 koa tsy mba nifankahita ny olona, na niala tamin’ izay nitoerany, hateloana; fa ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra kosa nisy mazava teo amin’ ny fonenany.
No one could see anyone else, and no one moved from where they were for three days. But there was still light where all the Israelites lived.
24 Ary Farao dia nampaka an’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe: Mandehana ianareo, manompoa an’ i Jehovah; fa ny ondry aman’ osinareo sy ny ombinareo ihany no aoka havelanareo; ary ny zanakareo madinika dia aoka hiaraka aminareo koa.
Eventually Pharaoh called for Moses. “Go and worship the Lord,” he said. “Just leave your flocks and herds here. You can even take your children with you.”
25 Ary hoy Mosesy: Hianao no hanolotra eto an-tananay izay fanatitra dorana sy fanatitra hafa alatsa-drà haterinay ho an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitray;
But Moses replied, “You must also let us have animals for sacrifices and burnt offerings, so we can offer them to the Lord our God.
26 ary ny omby aman’ ondrinay dia ho entinay hiaraka aminay koa; fa tsy hisy havela na dia ny kitrony iray aza, satria ireny no hangalanay hanompoana an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitray; ary tsy mbola fantatray izay ho entinay manompo an’ i Jehovah mandra-pahatonganay any.
Our livestock have to go with us too—not a single animal will be left behind. We'll need some of them to worship the Lord our God, and we won't know how we are to worship the Lord until we get there.”
27 Ary Jehovah dia nanamafy ny fon’ i Farao, ka tsy nety nandefa azy izy.
But the Lord made Pharaoh stubborn, and he would not let them go.
28 Ary hoy Farao taminy: Mialà amiko; koa mitandrema, fa aoka tsy hahita ny tavako intsony ianao; fa amin’ izay andro hahitanao ny tavako dia ho faty ianao.
Pharaoh shouted at Moses, “Get out of here! I don't want to see you ever again! If I ever do see you again you'll die!”
29 Ary hoy Mosesy: Marina izay nolazainao; fa tsy hahita ny tavanao intsony aho.
“May it be as you say,” Moses replied. “I won't see you again.”
