Baʼuu 10
1 Waaqayyos Museedhaan akkana jedhe; “Faraʼoonitti ol seeni; ani akka mallattoowwan koo kanneen isaan gidduutti hojjedhuuf jedhee Faraʼoonii fi qondaaltota isaa mata jabeeyyii godheera;
And the Lord said to Moses, Go in to Pharaoh: for I have made his heart and the hearts of his servants hard, so that I may let my signs be seen among them:
2 kunis akka ati waan ani warra Gibxi godhe, mallattoo ani isaan gidduutti argisiises ijoollee keetii fi ijoollee ijoollee keetiitti himtee akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe akka beektaniif taʼe.”
And so that you may be able to give to your son and to your son's son the story of my wonders in Egypt, and the signs which I have done among them; so that you may see that I am the Lord.
3 Musee fi Aroonis Faraʼoon bira dhaqanii akkana jedhaniin; “Waaqayyo Waaqni Ibrootaa akkana jedha: ‘Ati hamma yoomiitti fuula koo duratti gad of qabuu didda? Akka isaan na tajaajilaniif saba koo gad dhiisi.
Then Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and said to him, This is what the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, says: How long will you be lifted up in your pride before me? let my people go so that they may give me worship.
4 Yoo ati gad isaan dhiisuu didde, kunoo ani bori biyya keetti hawwaannisa nan fida.
For if you will not let my people go, tomorrow I will send locusts into your land:
5 Hawwaannisni kunis hamma namni tokko iyyuu arguu dadhabutti lafa haguuga. Innis waanuma cabbii irraa isinii hafe illee ni fixa; mukkeen alatti isinii guddachaa jiranis nyaatee fixa.
And the face of the earth will be covered with them, so that you will not be able to see the earth: and they will be the destruction of everything which up to now has not been damaged, everything which was not crushed by the ice-storm, and every tree still living in your fields.
6 Inni mana kee, mana qondaaltota keetii hundaa fi mana warra Gibxi hundumaa guuta; kunis waan abbootiin keetii fi abbootiin abbootii keetii gaafa biyya kana qubatanii jalqabanii hamma harʼaatti hin arginii dha.’” Kana booddee Museen garagalee Faraʼoon biraa baʼe.
And your houses will be full of them, and the houses of your servants and of all the Egyptians; it will be worse than anything your fathers have seen or their fathers, from the day when they were living on the earth till this day. And so he went out from Pharaoh.
7 Qondaaltonni Faraʼoonis, “Namichi kun hamma yoomiitti kiyyoo nutti taʼa? Namoonni kun akka Waaqayyo Waaqa isaanii tajaajilaniif gad dhiisi. Akka Gibxi badde ati amma illee hin hubannee?” jedhaniin.
And Pharaoh's servants said to him, How long is this man to be the cause of evil to us? let the men go so that they may give worship to the Lord their God: are you not awake to Egypt's danger?
8 Musee fi Aroonin deebisanii Faraʼoonitti geessan; Faraʼoonis, “Dhaqaatii Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan waaqeffadhaa! Garuu eenyutu deema?” jedheen.
Then Moses and Aaron came in again before Pharaoh: and he said to them, Go and give worship to the Lord your God: but which of you are going?
9 Museenis, “Nu sababii ayyaana Waaqayyoo ayyaaneffannuuf dargaggoota keenyaa fi maanguddoota keenya, ilmaanii fi intallan keenya, bushaayee fi loon keenya qabannee deemna” jedhee deebise.
And Moses said, We will go with our young and our old, with our sons and our daughters, with our flocks and our herds; for we are to keep a feast to the Lord.
10 Faraʼoonis akkana jedhe; “Yoo ani dubartoota keessanii fi ijoollee keessan isin wajjin gad dhiise, mee Waaqayyo isin wajjin haa taʼu! Kunoo waan hamaatu isin dura jira.
And he said to them, May the Lord be with you, if I will let you and your little ones go! take care, for your purpose clearly is evil.
11 Kun hin taʼu! Akka warri dhiiraa qofti dhaqanii Waaqayyo waaqeffatan godhaa; isin kanuma barbaaddaniitii.” Isaanis fuula Faraʼoon duraa gad baafaman.
Not so; but let your males go and give worship to the Lord, as your desire is. This he said, driving them out from before him.
12 Waaqayyos Museedhaan, “Akka hawwaannisni biyya Gibxitti buʼee biqiltuu lafa qotiisaa hunda, waan cabbii irraa hafe hundas nyaatuuf harka kee Gibxi irratti diriirsi” jedhe.
And the Lord said to Moses, Let your hand be stretched out over the land of Egypt so that the locusts may come up on the land for the destruction of every green plant in the land, even everything untouched by the ice-storm.
13 Museenis ulee isaa Gibxi irratti diriirsinaan Waaqayyo guyyaa sana guutuu fi halkan sana guutuu akka bubbeen baʼa biiftuu biyyattii keessatti bubbisu godhe; ganama itti aanus bubbeen sun hawwaannisa fidee dhufe;
And Moses' rod was stretched out over the land of Egypt, and the Lord sent an east wind over the land all that day and all the night; and in the morning the locusts came up with the east wind.
14 hawwaannisni sunis Gibxi guutuu weerare; biyya hunda keessas baayʼinaan qubate. Dhaʼichi hawwaannisaa kan akkasii duraan takkumaa buʼee hin beeku; ergasiis takkumaa deebiʼee hin buune.
And the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, resting on every part of the land, in very great numbers; such an army of locusts had never been seen before, and never will be again.
15 Hawwaannisni sunis hamma lafti gurraachaʼutti lafa hunda haguuge; innis waan cabbii irraa hafe hunda, waan alatti biqile hunda, ija mukaa illee ni nyaate. Biyya Gibxi hunda keessatti wanni lalisaan tokko iyyuu muka irratti yookaan biqiltuu irratti hin hafne.
For all the face of the earth was covered with them, so that the land was black; and every green plant and all the fruit of the trees which was untouched by the ice-storm they took for food: not one green thing, no plant or tree, was to be seen in all the land of Egypt.
16 Faraʼoonis dafee Musee fi Aroonin waamee akkana jedheen; “Ani Waaqayyo Waaqa keessanii fi isinitti cubbuu hojjedheera.
Then Pharaoh quickly sent for Moses and Aaron, and said, I have done evil against the Lord your God and against you.
17 Egaa mee cubbuu koo naa dhiisaa; akka inni dhaʼicha nama ajjeesu kana narraa fuudhuufis Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan naa kadhadhaa.”
Let me now have forgiveness for my sin this time only, and make prayer to the Lord your God that he will take away from me this death only.
18 Museenis Faraʼoon biraa gad baʼee Waaqayyo kadhate.
So he went out from Pharaoh and made prayer to the Lord.
19 Waaqayyos bubbee sana gara bubbee lixa biiftuu jabaatti geeddare; bubbeen sunis hawwaannisa sana fuudhee Galaana Diimaatti naqe. Gibxi keessatti hawwaannisni tokko iyyuu hin hafne.
And the Lord sent a very strong west wind, which took up the locusts, driving them into the Red Sea; not one locust was to be seen in any part of Egypt.
20 Waaqayyo garuu Faraʼoonin mata jabeessa godhe; Faraʼoonis Israaʼeloota gad hin dhiifne.
But the Lord made Pharaoh's heart hard, and he did not let the children of Israel go.
21 Waaqayyo immoo Museedhaan, “Akka dukkanni Gibxi irra buʼuuf harka kee gara samiitti diriirsi” jedhe.
And the Lord said to Moses, Let your hand be stretched out to heaven, and all the land of Egypt will be dark, so that men will be feeling their way about in the dark.
22 Museen harka isaa gara samiitti diriirse; dukkanni limixiin isaa guyyaa sadii Gibxi guutuu haguuge.
And when Moses' hand was stretched out, dark night came over all the land of Egypt for three days;
23 Guyyaa sadan sana namni wal hin argu ture; lafa jiruus hin sochoʼu ture. Israaʼeloonni hundi garuu iddoo jiraatanitti ifa qabu turan.
They were not able to see one another, and no one got up from his place for three days: but where the children of Israel were living it was light.
24 Faraʼoonis Musee ofitti waamee, “Dhaqaatii Waaqayyo waaqeffadhaa. Dubartoonnii fi ijoolleen keessanis isin wajjin haa deemani; bushaayee fi loon keessan qofa dhiisaa deemaa” jedheen.
Then Pharaoh sent for Moses, and said, Go and give worship to the Lord; only let your flocks and your herds be kept here: your little ones may go with you.
25 Museen garuu akkana jedhe; “Ati akka nu Waaqayyo Waaqa keenyaaf aarsaa fi qalma gubamu dhiʼeessinuuf nuu eeyyamuu qabda.
But Moses said, You will have to let us take burned offerings to put before the Lord our God.
26 Horiin keenyas nu wajjin dhaquu qaba; kotteen tokko iyyuu hin hafu. Waaqayyo Waaqa keenya waaqeffachuuf isaan keessaa tokko tokkotti fayyadamna; hamma achi geenyutti Waaqayyo waaqeffachuuf maalitti akka fayyadamnu hin beeknu.”
So our cattle will have to go with us, not one may be kept back; for they are needed for the worship of the Lord our God; we have no knowledge what offering we have to give till we come to the place.
27 Waaqayyo garuu Faraʼoonin mata jabeessa godhe; innis gad isaan dhiisuu dide.
But the Lord made Pharaoh's heart hard, and he would not let them go.
28 Faraʼoonis Museedhaan, “Fuula koo duraa badi! Lammata fuula koo akka hin argine beekkadhu; ati gaafa fuula koo argite ni duuta!” jedhe.
And Pharaoh said to him, Go away from me, take care that you come not again before me; for the day when you see my face again will be your last.
29 Museenis deebisee, “Akkuma ati jette, ani lammata fuula keetti hin mulʼadhu” jedhe.
And Moses said, You say truly; I will not see your face again.
