Eksodosy 8
1 Dia hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Mankanesa ao amin’ i Farao, ka lazao aminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Alefaso ny oloko hanompo Ahy.
Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh and tell him, 'Yahweh says this: “Let my people go so that they may worship me.
2 Fa raha mandà ka tsy mandefa azy ianao, indro, Izaho hamely ny taninao rehetra amin’ ny sahona;
If you refuse to let them go, I will afflict all your country with frogs.
3 dia hisy sahona betsaka any Neily, ary hiakatra ireny ka hankao amin’ ny tranonao sy ny trano fandrianao sy eny ambonin’ ny farafaranao sy any amin’ ny tranon’ ny mpanomponao sy amin’ ny vahoakanao ary eny amin’ ny fanendasa-mofonao sy eny amin’ ny vilia fanaova-mofonao.
The river will swarm with frogs. They will come up and go into your house, your bedroom, and your bed. They will go into your servants' houses. They will go onto your people, into your ovens, and into your kneading bowls.
4 Dia ho aminao sy ny vahoakanao ary ny mpanomponao rehetra no hiakaran’ ny sahona.
The frogs will attack you, your people, and all your servants.”'”
5 Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Lazao amin’ i Arona hoe: Ahinjiro ny tananao mitana ny tehinao eny ambonin’ ny sampan-drano ary eny ambonin ny lahin-drano sy ny heniheny, ka mampiakara ny sahona ho eny amin’ ny tany Egypta.
Yahweh said to Moses, “Say to Aaron, 'Reach out with your hand and your staff over the rivers, the streams, and the pools, and bring the frogs up over the land of Egypt.'”
6 Ary nahinjitr’ i Arona tambonin’ ny rano tany Egypta ny tànany; dia niakatra ny sahona ka nandrakotra ny tany Egypta.
Aaron reached out with his hand over Egypt's waters, and the frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt.
7 Ary ny ombiasy mba nanao toy izany koa tamin’ ny fankatovany ka nampiakatra ny sahona ho eny amin’ ny tany Egypta.
But the magicians did the same with their magic; they brought up frogs over the land of Egypt.
8 Ary Farao dia nampaka an’ i Mosesy sy Arona ka nanao hoe: Mangataha amin’ i Jehovah hampialany ny sahona amiko sy amin’ ny vahoakako; dia halefako ny olona mba hamono any zavatra hatao fanatitra ho an’ i Jehovah.
Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron and said, “Pray to Yahweh for him to take away the frogs from me and my people. Then I will let the people go, that they may sacrifice to him.”
9 Ary hoy Mosesy tamin’ i Farao: Aoka hiseho ny voninahitrao noho izay hataoko; rahoviana no hangatahako ho anao sy ny mpanomponao ary ny vahoakanao, hanesorana ny sahona aminao sy amin’ ny tranonao, ka ho ao Neily ihany no hisy azy?
Moses said to Pharaoh, “You can have the privilege of telling me when I should pray for you, your servants, and your people, so that the frogs may be removed from you and your houses and stay only in the river.”
10 Dia hoy izy: Rahampitso. Ary hoy kosa izy: Aoka àry dia ho araka ny teninao, mba hahafantaranao fa tsy misy tahaka an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitray.
Pharaoh said, “Tomorrow.” Moses said, “Let it be as you say, so that you may know that there is no one like Yahweh, our God.
11 Ary ny sahona dia hiala aminao sy amin’ ny tranonao sy ny mpanomponao ary ny vahoakanao, ka ho ao Neily ihany no hisy azy.
The frogs will go from you, your houses, your servants, and your people. They will stay only in the river.”
12 Ary Mosesy sy Arona niala teo amin’ i Farao; ary Mosesy nitaraina tamin’ i Jehovah ny amin’ ny sahona izay efa nataony tamin’ i Farao.
Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh. Then Moses cried out to Yahweh concerning the frogs that he had brought on Pharaoh.
13 Dia nataon’ i Jehovah araka ny tenin’ i Mosesy, ka maty ny sahona teny amin’ ny trano sy teny amin’ ny tokotany ary tany an-tsaha.
Yahweh did as Moses asked: The frogs died in the houses, courts, and fields.
14 Dia nangonina hivangongo teny rehetra eny ireny, ka efa maimbo ny tany.
The people gathered them together in heaps, and the land stank.
15 Fa nony hitan’ i Farao fa nisy hiainana, dia nanamafy ny fony izy ka tsy mba nihaino azy mirahalahy, dia araka izay efa nolazain’ i Jehovah.
But when Pharaoh saw that there was relief, he hardened his heart and did not listen to Moses and Aaron, just as Yahweh had said that he would do.
16 Dia hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Lazao amin’ i Arona hoe; Ahinjiro ny tehinao, ka kapohy ny vovo-tany, dia ho tonga moka eran’ ny tany Egypta rehetra izany.
Yahweh said to Moses, “Say to Aaron, 'Reach out with your staff and strike the dust on the ground, that it may become gnats throughout all the land of Egypt.'”
17 Dia nanao toy izany izy, ka nahinjitr’ i Arona ny tànany mitana ny tehiny, ary nokapohiny ny vovo-tany, dia nisy moka teny amin’ ny olona sy teny amin’ ny biby fiompy: fa tonga moka avokoa ny vovo-tany rehetra eran’ ny tany Egypta rehetra.
They did so: Aaron reached out with his hand and his staff. He struck the dust on the ground. Gnats came onto man and beast. All the dust on the ground became gnats throughout the whole land of Egypt.
18 Ary mba nanao toy izany koa ny ombiasy tamin’ ny fankatovany mba hahatonga moka, kanjo tsy nahay izy; ary ny moka dia teny amin’ ny olona sy teny amin’ ny biby fiompy.
The magicians tried with their magic to produce gnats, but they could not. There were gnats on man and beast.
19 Dia hoy ny ombiasy tamin’ i Farao: Rantsan-tànan’ Andriamanitra ity; nefa nihamafy ny fon’ i Farao, ka tsy nihaino azy mirahalahy izy, dia araka izay efa nolazain’ i Jehovah.
Then the magicians said to Pharaoh, “This is the finger of God.” But Pharaoh's heart was hardened, so he refused to listen to them. It was just as Yahweh had said Pharaoh would do.
20 Dia hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Mifohaza maraina koa, ka mitsangàna eo anatrehan’ i Farao (fa, indro, hivoaka ho any amin’ ny rano izy), ka lazao aminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Alefaso ny oloko hanompo Ahy.
Yahweh said to Moses, “Get up early in the morning and stand in front of Pharaoh as he goes out to the river. Say to him, 'Yahweh says this: “Let my people go so that they may worship me.
21 Fa raha tsy mandefa ny oloko ianao, indro Aho handefa lalitra betsaka hamely anao sy ny mpanomponao sy ny vahoakanao ary ny tranonao; dia ho feno lalitra ny tranon’ ny Egyptiana sy ny tany izay itoerany koa.
But if you do not let my people go, I will send swarms of flies on you, your servants, and your people, and into your houses. The Egyptians' houses will be full of swarms of flies, and even the ground on which they stand will be full of flies.
22 Fa havahako amin’ izany andro izany ny tany Gosena, izay itoeran’ ny oloko, ka tsy mba hisy lalitra ao, mba hahafantaranao fa Izaho no Jehovah afovoan’ ny tany.
But on that day I will treat the land of Goshen differently, the land in which my people are living, so that no swarms of flies will be there. This will happen so that you may know that I am Yahweh in the midst of this land.
23 Dia hasiako fiavahana amin’ ny oloko sy ny olonao; rahampitso no hisian’ izany famantarana izany.
I will make a distinction between my people and your people. This sign of my power will take place tomorrow.”'”
24 Ary nataon’ i Jehovah izany; ka dia nisy lalitra be dia be tao amin’ ny tranon’ i Farao sy tao amin’ ny tranon’ ny mpanompony ary teny amin’ ny tany Egypta rehetra; koa dia simba ny tany noho ny lalitra.
Yahweh did so, and thick swarms of flies came into Pharaoh's house and into his servants' houses. Throughout the whole land of Egypt, the land was ruined because of the swarms of flies.
25 Ary Farao nampaka an’ i Mosesy sy Arona ka nanao hoe: Mandehana ianareo hamono zavatra hatao fanatitra ho an’ Andriamanitrareo eto amin’ ity tany ity.
Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron and said, “Go, sacrifice to your God in our own land.”
26 Fa hoy Mosesy: Tsy azo atao izany; fa izay fadin’ ny Egyptiana no hovonoinay hatao fanatitra ho an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitray; koa, indro, raha izay fadin’ ny Egyptiana no vonoinay eo imasony hatao fanatitra, moa tsy hotorahany vato va izahay?
Moses said, “It is not right for us to do so, for the sacrifices we make to Yahweh our God are something disgusting to the Egyptians. If we make sacrifices right before their eyes that are disgusting to the Egyptians, will they not stone us?
27 Handeha lalan-kateloana any an-efitra izahay, dia hamono zavatra hatao fanatitra ho an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitray, araka izay holazainy aminay.
No, it is a three days' journey into the wilderness that we must make, in order to sacrifice to Yahweh our God, as he commands us.”
28 Ary hoy Farao: Izaho dia handefa anareo ihany mba hamono zavatra hatao fanatitra ho an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo any an-efitra; fa hany ataoko: aza mandeha lavitra loatra ianareo; dia mangataha ho ahy.
Pharaoh said, “I will allow you to go and sacrifice to Yahweh your God in the wilderness. Only you must not go very far away. Pray for me.”
29 Ary hoy Mosesy: Indro, izaho hiala eto aminao ka hangataka amin’ i Jehovah mba hialan’ ny lalitra amin’ i Farao sy ny mpanompony ary ny vahoakany rahampitso; fa aoka kosa tsy hamitaka intsony Farao ka tsy handefa ny olona hamono zavatra hatao fanatitra ho an i’ Jehovah.
Moses said, “As soon as I go out from you, I will pray to Yahweh that the swarms of flies may leave you, Pharaoh, and your servants and people tomorrow. But you must not deal deceitfully any more by not letting our people go to sacrifice to Yahweh.”
30 Ary Mosesy niala teo amin’ i Farao ka nangataka tamin’ i Jehovah
Moses went out from Pharaoh and prayed to Yahweh.
31 Ary Jehovah dia nanao araka ny tenin’ i Mosesy ka nampiala ny lalitra betsaka tamin’ i Farao sy ny mpanompony ary ny vahoakany, ka tsy nisy niangana ireny na dia iray akory aza.
Yahweh did as Moses asked; and he removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, his servants, and his people. Not one remained.
32 Kanjo Farao nanamafy ny fony indray tamin’ izany ka tsy nandefa ny olona.
But Pharaoh hardened his heart this time also, and he did not let the people go.
