Eksodosy 9
1 Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Mankanesa ao amin’ i Farao ianao, ka lazao aminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Hebreo: Alefaso ny oloko hanompo Ahy.
Then Yahweh said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh and tell him, 'Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews, says this: “Let my people go so that they may worship me.”
2 Fa raha mandà ka tsy mandefa azy ianao, fa mbola mihazona azy ihany,
But if you refuse to let them go, if you still keep them back,
3 dia, indro, ny tànan’ i Jehovah ho amin’ ny bibinao izay any an-tsaha, dia amin’ ny soavaly sy amin’ ny boriky sy amin’ ny rameva sy amin’ ny omby ary amin’ ny ondry aman’ osy, ka hisy areti-mandringana mafy indrindra.
then Yahweh's hand will be on your cattle in the fields and on the horses, donkeys, camels, herds, and flocks, and it will cause a terrible disease.
4 Ary Jehovah dia hanavaka ny bibin’ ny Isiraely amin’ ny bibin’ ny Egyptiana, ka tsy hisy maty izay rehetra an’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely na dia iray aza.
Yahweh will treat Israel's cattle and Egypt's cattle differently and no animal that belongs to the Israelites will die.
5 Dia nanendry fotoan’ andro Jehovah ka nanao hoe: Rahampitso no hanaovan’ i Jehovah izany zavatra izany eto amin’ ny tany.
Yahweh has fixed a time; he has said, “It is tomorrow that I will do this thing in the land.”'”
6 Ary nony ampitso dia nataon’ i Jehovah izany zavatra izany; ka maty avokoa ny bibin’ ny Egyptiana rehetra; fa ny bibin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely kosa tsy mba nisy maty na dia iray akory aza.
Yahweh did this the next day: All the cattle of Egypt died, but none of the Israelites' animals died, not one animal.
7 Dia naniraka Farao, ka, indro, tsy mba nisy maty ny bibin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely na dia iray akory aza, nefa nihamafy ny fon’ i Farao, ka tsy nandefa ny olona izy.
Pharaoh investigated, and, behold, not even one animal of the Israelites died. But his heart was stubborn, so he did not let the people go.
8 Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy sy Arona: Mangalà lavenona amin’ ny tananao ao amin’ ny lafaoro lehibe, ary aoka hatopin’ i Mosesy miakatra manandrify ny lanitra eo imason’ i Farao izany.
Then Yahweh said to Moses and to Aaron, “Take some handfuls of ashes from a kiln. You, Moses, must throw the ashes up into the air while Pharaoh is watching.
9 Dia hitora-jofo eran’ ny tany Egypta rehetra izany ka ho tonga vay mipoipoitra amin’ ny olona sy amin’ ny biby fiompy eran’ ny tany Egypta rehetra.
They will become fine dust over all the land of Egypt. They will cause blisters and sores to break out on people and animals throughout all the land of Egypt.”
10 Dia naka lavenona tamin’ ny lafaoro lehibe izy roa lahy ka nitsangana teo anatrehan’ i Farao; dia natopin’ i Mosesy niakatra nanandrify ny lanitra izany, ka dia tonga vay nipoipoitra tamin’ ny olona sy tamin’ ny biby fiompy.
So Moses and Aaron took ashes from a kiln and stood in front of Pharaoh. Then Moses threw the ashes up into the air. The ashes caused blisters and sores to break out on people and animals.
11 Ary ny ombiasy tsy nahajanona teo anatrehan’ i Mosesy noho ny vay; fa ny vay dia nahazo ny ombiasy mbamin’ ny Egyptiana rehetra.
The magicians could not resist Moses because of the blisters, because the blisters were on them and on all the other Egyptians.
12 Nefa Jehovah dia nanamafy ny fon’ i Farao, ka tsy nihaino azy mirahalahy izy, dia araka izay efa nolazain’ i Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy.
Yahweh hardened Pharaoh's heart, so Pharaoh did not listen to Moses and Aaron. This was just as Yahweh had said to Moses that Pharaoh would do.
13 Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Mifohaza maraina koa ianao dia mitsangana eo anatrehan’ i Farao, ka lazao aminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Hebreo: Alefaso ny oloko hanompo Ahy
Then Yahweh said to Moses, “Get up early in the morning, stand in front of Pharaoh, and say to him, 'Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews, says this: “Let my people go so that they may worship me.
14 Fa ankehitriny izao dia halefako ny areti-mandringana rehetra avy atỳ amiko hamely ny fonao sy ny mpanomponao ary ny vahoakanao, mba hahafantaranao fa tsy misy tahaka Ahy amin’ ny tany rehetra.
For this time I will send all my plagues on you yourself, on your servants and your people. I will do this so that you may know that there is no one like me in all the earth.
15 Fa ankehitriny, raha izay Aho no naninjitra ny tanako hamely anao sy ny vahoakanao amin’ ny areti-mandringana, dia efa fongotra tamin’ ny tany ianao.
By now I could have reached out with my hand and attacked you and your people with disease, and you would have been eradicated from the land.
16 Kanefa izao indrindra no nampaharetako anao, dia ny hampahita anao ny heriko mba hambara any amin’ ny tany rehetra ny anarako.
But it was for this reason I allowed you to survive: In order to show you my power, so that my name may be proclaimed throughout all the earth.
17 Mbola mirehareha amin’ ny oloko ihany va ianao ka tsy handefa azy?
You are still lifting yourself up against my people by not letting them go.
18 Indro, rahampitso toy izao dia hampilatsaka havandra be dia be Aho, izay tsy mbola nisy toy izany teto Egypta hatramin’ ny andro nisiany mponina ka mandraka ankehitriny.
Listen! Tomorrow about this time I will bring a very strong hail storm, such as has not been seen in Egypt since the day it was begun until now.
19 Koa ankehitriny, maniraha mba hanangona faingana ny bibinao sy izay rehetra anananao any an-tsaha; fa ny olona rehetra sy ny biby fiompy izay ho hita any an-tsaha ka tsy ho enti-mody dia hilatsahan’ ny havandra ka ho faty avokoa.
Now then, send men and gather your cattle and everything you have in the fields to a safe place. Every man and animal that is in the field and is not brought home—the hail will come down on them, and they will die.”'”
20 Ary izay natahotra ny tenin’ i Jehovah teo amin’ ny mpanompon’ i Farao dia nampody ny mpanompony sy ny bibiny ho any an-trano;
Then those of Pharaoh's servants who believed in Yahweh's message hurried to bring their slaves and cattle into the houses.
21 fa izay tsy nandatsaka am-po ny tenin’ i Jehovah kosa dia namela ny mpanompony sy ny bibiny tany an-tsaha ihany.
But those who did not take Yahweh's message seriously left their slaves and cattle in the fields.
22 Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Ahinjiro manandrify ny lanitra ny tananao, dia hisy havandra hilatsaka amin’ ny tany Egypta rehetra, dia amin’ ny olona sy amin’ ny biby fiompy ary amin’ ny anana rehetra any an-tsaha eran’ ny tany Egypta.
Then Yahweh said to Moses, “Reach out with your hand toward the sky so that there will be hail in all the land of Egypt, on people, on animals, and on all the plants in the fields throughout the land of Egypt.”
23 Dia nahinjitr’ i Mosesy manandrify ny lanitra ny tehiny; ary Jehovah nanisy kotrokorana sy havandra, ary nisy afo nifanaretsadretsaka teny ambonin’ ny tany; ary Jehovah nandatsaka havandra tamin’ ny tany Egypta.
Moses reached out with his staff toward the sky, and Yahweh sent thunder, hail, and lightning to the ground. He also rained hail on the land of Egypt.
24 Dia nisy havandra sy afo nifandrambondrambona tanelanelan’ ny havandra; dia mafy indrindra izany, ka tsy mbola nisy toy izany tany amin’ ny tany Egypta rehetra hatrizay naha-firenena azy.
So there were hail and lightning mixed with hail, very severe, such as had not been in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.
25 Ary ny havandra namely izay rehetra tany an-tsaha, na olona na biby fiompy, eran’ ny tany Egypta rehetra; ny anana rehetra tany an-tsaha dia nasian’ ny havandra koa, ary ny hazo rehetra tany an-tsaha notapatapahiny.
Throughout all the land of Egypt, the hail struck everything in the fields, both people and animals. It struck every plant in the fields and broke every tree.
26 Fa tao amin’ ny tany Gosena izay nitoeran’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely ihany no tsy mba nisy havandra.
Only in the land of Goshen, where the Israelites lived, was there no hail.
27 Dia naniraka Farao nampaka an’ i Mosesy sy Arona ka nanao taminy hoe: Efa nanota aho tamin’ izao, ka Jehovah no marina, fa izaho sy ny vahoakako no meloka.
Then Pharaoh sent men to summon Moses and Aaron. He said to them, “I have sinned this time. Yahweh is righteous, and I and my people are wicked.
28 Mangataha amin’ i Jehovah, fa aoka izay ny kotrokorana sy ny havandra, dia halefako tsy hitoetra eto intsony ianareo.
Pray to Yahweh, because the mighty thunderbolts and hail are too much. I will let you go, and you will stay here no longer.”
29 Ary hoy Mosesy taminy: Raha vao mivoaka amin’ ny tanàna aho, dia hamelatra ny tanako amin’ i Jehovah; koa dia hitsahatra ny kotrokorana, ary ny havandra dia tsy hisy intsony, mba hahafantaranao fa an’ i Jehovah ny tany.
Moses said to him, “As soon as I leave the city, I will spread my hands out to Yahweh. The thunder will stop, and there will not be any more hail. In this way you will know that the earth belongs to Yahweh.
30 Kanefa fantatro fa ianao sy ny mpanomponao dia tsy mbola hatahotra an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitra ihany.
But as for you and your servants, I know that you do not yet really honor Yahweh God.”
31 Ary efa naripaka ny rongony sy ny vary hordea; fa efa niteraka ny vary hordea, ary efa namony ny rongony.
Now the flax and the barley were ruined, for the barley was maturing in the ear, and the flax was in bloom.
32 Fa ny vary tritika sy ny ampemby no tsy mba naripaka, satria mbola fohy ireny.
But the wheat and the spelt were not harmed because they were later crops.
33 Ary Mosesy niala teo amin’ i Farao ka nankeo ivelan’ ny tanàna, dia namelatra ny tànany tamin’ i Jehovah, ka dia nitsahatra ny kotrokorana sy ny havandra, ary tsy nisy ranonorana nilatsaka tamin’ ny tany intsony.
When Moses had left Pharaoh and the city, he spread out his hands to Yahweh; the thunder and hail stopped, and the rain came down no more.
34 Ary nony hitan’ i Farao fa nitsahatra ny ranonorana sy ny havandra ary ny kotrokorana, dia mbola nanota ihany indray izy; ary samy nanamafy ny fony izy sy ny mpanompony.
When Pharaoh saw that the rain, hail, and thunder had ceased, he sinned again and hardened his heart, together with his servants.
35 Dia nihamafy ny fon’ i Farao ka tsy mba nandefa ny Zanak’ Isiraely izy, araka izay efa nampilazain’ i Jehovah an’ i Mosesy.
Pharaoh's heart was hardened, so he did not let the people of Israel go. This was the way that Yahweh had said to Moses that Pharaoh would act.
