1 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe; “Faraʼoon bira dhaqii akkana jedhiin; ‘Waaqayyo akkana jedha: Akka sabni koo na tajaajiluuf gad dhiisi.
And the Lord said to Moses: Go in to Pharao, and thou shalt say to him: Thus saith the Lord: Let my people go to sacrifice to me.
2 Yoo ati gad isa dhiisuu didde immoo kunoo ani biyya kee guutuutti dhaʼicha fattee nan erga.
But if thou wilt not let them go behold I will strike all thy coasts with frogs.
3 Lagni Abbayyaa fatteedhaan guutuma; isaanis ol baʼanii mana keetti, dinqa keetti, siree keetti, mana hojjettoota keetiitti, saba keetti, iddoo ibiddaa keetti, qodaa bukoo keetiittis namʼu.
And the river shall bring forth an abundance of frogs: which shall come up, and enter into thy house, and thy bedchamber, and upon thy bed, and in the houses of thy servants, and to thy people, and into thy ovens, and into the remains of thy meats;
4 Fatteewwan kunneen siʼii fi saba kee, qondaaltota kee hundas ni yaabbatu.’”
And the frogs shall come in to thee and to thy people, and to all thy servants.
5 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe; “Arooniin akkana jedhi; ‘Ulee kee qabadhuutii harka kee burqaawwan irratti, lageenii fi kuusaa bishaanii irratti ol kaafadhuutii akka fatteewwan biyya Gibxitti dhufan godhi.’”
And the Lord said to Moses: Say to Aaron, Stretch forth thy hand upon the streams and upon the rivers and the pools, and bring forth frogs upon the land of Egypt.
6 Aroon harka isaa bishaanota Gibxitti ol kaafate; fatteewwanis ol baʼanii biyya sana guutan.
And Aaron stretched forth his hand upon the waters of Egypt, and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt.
7 Tolfattoonnis falfala isaaniitiin akkasuma godhan; biyya Gibxittis fatteewwan fidan.
And the magicians also by their enchantments did in like manner, and the brought forth frogs upon all the land of Egypt.
8 Faraʼoonis Musee fi Aroonin ofitti waamee, “Akka inni anaa fi saba koo irraa fatteewwan fageessuuf Waaqayyo kadhadhaa; anis akka sabni keessan dhaqee Waaqayyoof aarsaa dhiʼeessuuf gadin dhiisa” jedhe.
But Pharao called Moses and Aaron and said to them: Pray ye to the Lord to take away the frogs from me and from my people; and I will let the people go to sacrifice to the Lord.
9 Museenis Faraʼooniin, “Akka fatteewwan siʼii fi manneen kee irraa badanii laga Abbayyaa qofa keessatti hafaniif yeroo ani itti siif, qondaaltota keetii fi saba keetiif illee Waaqa kadhadhu ati na beeksisi” jedhe.
And Moses said to Pharao: Set me a time when I shall pray for thee, and for thy servants, and for thy people, that the frogs may be driven away from thee and from thy house, and from thy servants, and from thy people: and may remain only in the river.
10 Faraʼoon immoo, “Bor” jedheen. Museenis akkana jedhee deebise; “Waaqayyo Waaqa keenyaa fakkaatu kan tokko iyyuu akka hin jirre akka beektuuf akkuma ati jettu taʼa.
And he answered: Tomorrow. But he said: I will do according to thy word; that thou mayst know that there is none like to the Lord our God.
11 Fatteewwan sun siʼii fi manneen kee irraa, qondaaltota keetii fi saba kee irraa ni badu; laga Abbayyaa qofa keessattis ni hafu.”
And the frogs shall depart from thee, and from thy house, and from thy servants, and from thy people; and shall remain only in the river.
12 Musee fi Aroon erga Faraʼoon biraa gad baʼanii booddee Museen waaʼee fatteewwan Waaqni Faraʼoonitti erge sanaa Waaqayyotti iyye.
And Moses and Aaron went forth from Pharao: and Moses cried to the Lord for the promise, which he had made to Pharao concerning the frogs.
13 Waaqayyos akkuma Museen kadhate godhe. Fatteewwan sunis mana keessatti, oobdii irratti, dirree irrattis dhuman.
And the Lord did according to the word of Moses: and the frogs died out of the houses, and out of the villages, and out of the fields:
14 Fatteewwan sunis walitti qabamanii tuulaman; biyyattiinis ni ajoofte.
And they gathered them together into immense heaps, and the land was corrupted.
15 Faraʼoon garuu yommuu akka dhaʼichi sun qabbanaaʼe argetti akkuma Waaqayyo dubbatee ture sana mata jabeessa taʼee Musee fi Aroonin dhagaʼuu dide.
And Pharao seeing that rest was given, hardened his own heart, and did not hear them, as the Lord had commanded.
16 Ergasiis Waaqayyo Museedhaan, “Arooniin, ‘Ulee kee ol kaasiitii awwaara lafaa dhaʼi’ jedhi; awwaarri sunis biyya Gibxi guutuu keessatti injiraan taʼa” jedhe.
And the Lord said to Moses: Say to Aaron, Stretch forth thy rod, and strike the dust of the earth: and may there be sciniphs in all the land of Egypt.
17 Isaanis akkasuma godhan. Yommuu Aroon harka isaa isa ulee qabate ol kaafatee awwaara lafaa dhaʼetti injiraan namaa fi horiitti duudde. Awwaarri guutuu biyya Gibxi keessa jiru hundi injiraan taʼe.
And they did so. And Aaron stretched forth his hand, holding the rod: and he struck the dust of the earth, and there came sciniphs on men and on beasts: all the dust of the earth was turned into sciniphs through all the land of Egypt.
18 Tolfattoonni garuu falfala isaaniitiin injiraan gad yaasuu yaalanii dadhaban. Injiraanis namaa fi horii irra ture.
And the magicians with their enchantments practiced in like manner, to bring forth sciniphs, and they could not and there were sciniphs as well on men as on beasts.
19 Tolfattoonnis Faraʼooniin, “Kun quba Waaqaa ti” jedhan. Faraʼoon garuu akkuma Waaqayyo dubbate sana mata jabeessa taʼee dhagaʼuu dide.
And the magicians said to Pharao This is the finger of God. And Pharao heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them, as the Lord had commanded.
20 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe; “Ganama barii kaʼiitii fuula Faraʼoon duratti dhiʼaadhu; kunoo inni gara bishaanitti gad baʼa; akkanas jedhiin; ‘Waaqayyo akkana jedha: Akka inni na tajaajiluuf saba koo gad dhiisi.
The Lord also said to Moses: Arise early, and stand before Pharao: for he will go forth to the waters: and thou shalt say to him: Thus saith the Lord: Let my people go to sacrifice to me.
21 Yoo ati saba koo gad dhiisuu didde immoo kunoo, ani tuuta tisiisaa sitti, qondaaltota keetti, saba keetti, manneen keetti nan erga. Manneen warra Gibxi, lafti isaan jiraatanis tisiisaan guutamu.
But if thou wilt not let them go, behold I will send in upon thee, and upon thy servants, and upon thy houses all kind of flies: and the houses of the Egyptians shall be filled with flies of divers kinds, and the whole land wherein they shall be.
22 “‘Ani garuu guyyaa sana iddoo sabni koo jiraatu Gooshenin haala addaatiin nan ilaala; akka ati akka ani Waaqayyo biyya kana keessa jiru beektuuf tisiisni tokko iyyuu achi hin jiraatu.
And I will make the land of Gessen wherein my people is, wonderful in that lay, so that flies shall not be there: and thou shalt know that I am the Lord in the midst of the earth.
23 Ani saba kootii fi saba kee gidduutti garaa garummaa nan uuma. Mallattoon kunis bori taʼa.’”
And I will put a division between my people and thy people: tomorrow shall this sign be.
24 Waaqayyos akkasuma godhe. Tisiisni baayʼeen mana Faraʼoonii fi manneen qondaaltota isaatti duude; biyyi Gibxi guutuunis tisiisaan balleeffame.
And the Lord did so. And there came a very grievous swarm of flies into he houses of Pharao and of his servants, and into all the land of Egypt: and the land was corrupted by this kind of flies.
25 Faraʼoonis Musee fi Aroonin ofitti waamee, “Dhaqaatii biyyuma kana keessatti Waaqa keessaniif aarsaa dhiʼeessaa” jedheen.
And Pharao called Moses and Aaron, and said to them: Go, and sacrifice to your God in this land.
26 Museen immoo deebisee akkana jedhe; “Akkas gochuun qajeelaa hin taʼu; aarsaan nu Waaqayyo Waaqa keenyaaf dhiʼeessinu warra Gibxi biratti jibbamaa dha. Kunoo, yoo nu aarsaa fuula isaanii duratti jibbamu dhiʼeessine isaan dhagaadhaan nu hin tumanii ree?
And Moses said: It cannot be so: for we shall sacrifice the abominations of the Egyptians to the Lord our God: now if we kill those things which the Egyptians worship, in their presence, they will stone us.
27 Akkuma inni nu ajajetti nu Waaqayyo Waaqa keenyaaf aarsaa dhiʼeessuuf gara gammoojjii karaa guyyaa sadii deemuu qabna.”
We will go three days’ journey into the wilderness: and we will sacrifice to the Lord our God, as he hath commanded us.
28 Faraʼoonis, “Ani akka isin gammoojjii keessatti Waaqayyo Waaqa keessaniif aarsaa dhiʼeessitaniif gadin isin dhiisa; garuu baayʼee fagaattani hin deeminaa. Isinis Waaqa naa kadhadhaa” jedhe.
And Pharao said: I will let you go to sacrifice to the Lord your God in the wilderness: but go no farther: pray for me.
29 Museenis akkana jedhee deebise; “Kunoo, ani akkuman si biraa deemeen akka bor tisiisni Faraʼoon irraa, qondaaltota isaatii fi saba isaa irraa kaʼu Waaqayyo nan kadhadha. Yaa Faraʼoon ati garuu, akka sabni kun Waaqayyoof aarsaa dhiʼeessuuf gad dhiisuu diddee ammas nu hin gowwoomsin.”
And Moses said: I will go out from thee, and will pray to the Lord: and the flies shall depart from Pharao, and from his servants, and from his people tomorrow: but do not deceive any more, in not letting the people go to sacrifice to the Lord.
30 Museenis ergasii Faraʼoon biraa baʼee Waaqayyo kadhate;
So Moses went out from Pharao, and prayed to the Lord.
31 Waaqayyos akkuma Museen isa kadhate sana godhe; tisiisni sunis Faraʼoonin, qondaaltota isaatii fi saba isaa gad dhiisee deeme; tisiisni tokko iyyuu hin hafne.
And he did according to his word: and he took away the flies from Pharao, and from his servants, and from his people: there was not left so much as one.
32 Faraʼoon garuu ammas mata jabeessa taʼe; saba sanas gad dhiisuu dide.
And Pharao’s heart was hardened, so that neither this time would he let the people go.
