Baʼuu 8

1 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe; “Faraʼoon bira dhaqii akkana jedhiin; ‘Waaqayyo akkana jedha: Akka sabni koo na tajaajiluuf gad dhiisi.

Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, —then shalt thou say unto him—Thus, saith Yahweh, —Let my people go, that they may serve me.

2 Yoo ati gad isa dhiisuu didde immoo kunoo ani biyya kee guutuutti dhaʼicha fattee nan erga.

But if thou art, refusing, to let them go, lo! I, am plaguing all thy boundaries 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.

so shall the river swarm with frogs, and they shall come up, and enter into thy house, and into thy bedchamber and upon thy couch, —and into the house of thy servants and among thy people, and into thine ovens and into thy kneading-troughs:

4 Fatteewwan kunneen siʼii fi saba kee, qondaaltota kee hundas ni yaabbatu.’”

both against thee, and against thy people, and against all thy servants, shall come up the frogs.

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.’”

Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Say unto Aaron—Stretch forth thy hand with thy staff, over the streams over the rivers and over the pools, —and bring up the frogs, over the land of Egypt.

6 Aroon harka isaa bishaanota Gibxitti ol kaafate; fatteewwanis ol baʼanii biyya sana guutan.

So Aaron stretched forth his hand, over the waters of Egypt, —and the frog came up, and covered the land of Egypt.

7 Tolfattoonnis falfala isaaniitiin akkasuma godhan; biyya Gibxittis fatteewwan fidan.

And the sacred scribes did in like manner, with their secret arts, —and brought up frogs over 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.

Then called Pharaoh for Moses and for Aaron and said—Make entreaty unto Yahweh, that he take away the frogs from me and from my people, —and I must let the people go that they may sacrifice to Yahweh.

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 Pharaoh—Explain thyself unto me: For what time, shall I make entreaty for thee and for thy servants and for thy people, to cause the frogs to be cut off, from thee and from thy houses, —only in the river, shall they remain?

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 said—For to-morrow. And he said—According to thy word! that thou mayest know that there is none like Yahweh, our God:

11 Fatteewwan sun siʼii fi manneen kee irraa, qondaaltota keetii fi saba kee irraa ni badu; laga Abbayyaa qofa keessattis ni hafu.”

so the frogs shall depart—from thee and from thy houses and from thy servants and from thy people, —only in the river, shall they remain.

12 Musee fi Aroon erga Faraʼoon biraa gad baʼanii booddee Museen waaʼee fatteewwan Waaqni Faraʼoonitti erge sanaa Waaqayyotti iyye.

Then went forth Moses and Aaron from Pharaoh, —and Moses made outcry unto Yahweh, over the matter of the frogs which he had appointed for Pharaoh.

13 Waaqayyos akkuma Museen kadhate godhe. Fatteewwan sunis mana keessatti, oobdii irratti, dirree irrattis dhuman.

And Yahweh did according to the word of Moses, —and the frogs died, out of the houses and out of the yards, and out of the fields;

14 Fatteewwan sunis walitti qabamanii tuulaman; biyyattiinis ni ajoofte.

and they piled them up, heaps—heaps, —and the land became loathsome.

15 Faraʼoon garuu yommuu akka dhaʼichi sun qabbanaaʼe argetti akkuma Waaqayyo dubbatee ture sana mata jabeessa taʼee Musee fi Aroonin dhagaʼuu dide.

But when Pharaoh saw that there had come a respite, then made he his heart dull and hearkened not unto them, —as spake Yahweh.

16 Ergasiis Waaqayyo Museedhaan, “Arooniin, ‘Ulee kee ol kaasiitii awwaara lafaa dhaʼi’ jedhi; awwaarri sunis biyya Gibxi guutuu keessatti injiraan taʼa” jedhe.

Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Say unto Aaron—Stretch forth thy staff, and smite the dust of the land, —so shall it become gnats 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 with his staff and smote the dust of the land, and there canto to be gnats, among men and among beasts, —all the dust of the land, became gnats, in all the land of Egypt.

18 Tolfattoonni garuu falfala isaaniitiin injiraan gad yaasuu yaalanii dadhaban. Injiraanis namaa fi horii irra ture.

And the sacred scribes did in like manner with their secret arts, to bring forth the gnats, but they could not. So there came to be gnats, among men and among beasts.

19 Tolfattoonnis Faraʼooniin, “Kun quba Waaqaa ti” jedhan. Faraʼoon garuu akkuma Waaqayyo dubbate sana mata jabeessa taʼee dhagaʼuu dide.

Then said the sacred scribes unto Pharaoh, The finger of God, it is! But the heart of Pharaoh waxed bold and he hearkened not unto them, as spake Yahweh.

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.

Then said Yahweh unto Moses—Rise thou early in the morning, and station thyself before Pharaoh, lo! he is coming forth to the waters, —then shalt thou say unto him—Thus, saith Yahweh: Let my people go, that they may serve 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 art not letting my people go, behold me! sending forth—against thee, and against thy servants, and against thy people, and against thy houses the gad-fly, —and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of the gad-fly, moreover also the ground whereon, they are:

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.

then will I make to differ on that day, the land of Goshen wherein my people do dwell, so that there shall not be there a gad-fly! in order that thou mayest know, that I, Yahweh, am in the midst of the land;

23 Ani saba kootii fi saba kee gidduutti garaa garummaa nan uuma. Mallattoon kunis bori taʼa.’”

so will I put a separation betwixt my people and thy people. By to-morrow, shall come to pass this sign.

24 Waaqayyos akkasuma godhe. Tisiisni baayʼeen mana Faraʼoonii fi manneen qondaaltota isaatti duude; biyyi Gibxi guutuunis tisiisaan balleeffame.

And Yahweh did so, and brought a grievous gad-fly unto the house of Pharaoh and the houses of his servants and in all the land of Egypt, and the land was laid waste by reason of the gad-fly.

25 Faraʼoonis Musee fi Aroonin ofitti waamee, “Dhaqaatii biyyuma kana keessatti Waaqa keessaniif aarsaa dhiʼeessaa” jedheen.

Then did Pharaoh cry out—unto Moses and to Aaron, —and said-Go your way, sacrifice to your God, in the 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: Not meet, is it, to do thus, for, an abomination to the Egyptians, we should sacrifice to Yahweh our God. Lo! could we sacrifice that which is an abomination to the Egyptians before their eyes and they not stone us?

27 Akkuma inni nu ajajetti nu Waaqayyo Waaqa keenyaaf aarsaa dhiʼeessuuf gara gammoojjii karaa guyyaa sadii deemuu qabna.”

A journey of three days, must we go, in the desert, —then will we sacrifice to Yahweh our God, as, Yahweh, hath said unto 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.

Then said Pharaoh: I, will let you go—so shall ye sacrifice to Yahweh your God in the desert, only ye shall not go a, very long, journey, —make ye entreaty 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: Lo! I, am going out from thee and will make entreaty unto Yahweh, so will he take away the gad-fly—from Pharaoh from his servants, and from his people tomorrow, —only let not Pharaoh again deceive, in not letting the people go, to sacrifice to Yahweh.

30 Museenis ergasii Faraʼoon biraa baʼee Waaqayyo kadhate;

So Moses went out from Pharaoh, —and made entreaty unto Yahweh.

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 Yahweh did according to the word of Moses, and took away the gad-fly, from Pharaoh from his servants and from his people, —there remained not, one.

32 Faraʼoon garuu ammas mata jabeessa taʼe; saba sanas gad dhiisuu dide.

And Pharaoh made his heart dull, this time also, —and did not let the people go.
