< Baʼuu 8 >

1 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe; “Faraʼoon bira dhaqii akkana jedhiin; ‘Waaqayyo akkana jedha: Akka sabni koo na tajaajiluuf gad dhiisi.
Yahweh spoke to Moses, “Go in to Pharaoh, and tell him, ‘This is what Yahweh says, “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.
If you refuse to let them go, behold, I will plague all your borders 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.
The river will swarm with frogs, which will go up and come into your house, and into your bedroom, and on your bed, and into the house of your servants, and on your people, and into your ovens, and into your kneading troughs.
4 Fatteewwan kunneen siʼii fi saba kee, qondaaltota kee hundas ni yaabbatu.’”
The frogs shall come up both on you, and on your people, and on all your 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.’”
Yahweh said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Stretch out your hand with your rod over the rivers, over the streams, and over the pools, and cause frogs to come up on the land of Egypt.’”
6 Aroon harka isaa bishaanota Gibxitti ol kaafate; fatteewwanis ol baʼanii biyya sana guutan.
Aaron stretched out his hand over 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.
The magicians did the same thing with their enchantments, and brought up frogs on 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 Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, “Entreat Yahweh, that he take away the frogs from me and from my people; and I will 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.
Moses said to Pharaoh, “I give you the honor of setting the time that I should pray for you, and for your servants, and for your people, that the frogs be destroyed from you and your houses, and remain in the river only.”
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.
Pharaoh said, “Tomorrow.” Moses said, “Let it be according to your word, that you may know that there is no one 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.”
The frogs shall depart from you, and from your houses, and from your servants, and from your people. They shall remain in the river only.”
12 Musee fi Aroon erga Faraʼoon biraa gad baʼanii booddee Museen waaʼee fatteewwan Waaqni Faraʼoonitti erge sanaa Waaqayyotti iyye.
Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh, and Moses cried to Yahweh concerning the frogs which he had brought on Pharaoh.
13 Waaqayyos akkuma Museen kadhate godhe. Fatteewwan sunis mana keessatti, oobdii irratti, dirree irrattis dhuman.
Yahweh did according to the word of Moses, and the frogs died out of the houses, out of the courts, and out of the fields.
14 Fatteewwan sunis walitti qabamanii tuulaman; biyyattiinis ni ajoofte.
They gathered them together in heaps, and the land stank.
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 was a respite, he hardened his heart, and didn’t listen to them, as Yahweh had spoken.
16 Ergasiis Waaqayyo Museedhaan, “Arooniin, ‘Ulee kee ol kaasiitii awwaara lafaa dhaʼi’ jedhi; awwaarri sunis biyya Gibxi guutuu keessatti injiraan taʼa” jedhe.
Yahweh said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Stretch out your rod, and strike the dust of the earth, that it may become lice throughout 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.
They did so; and Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and struck the dust of the earth, and there were lice on man, and on animal; all the dust of the earth became lice throughout all the land of Egypt.
18 Tolfattoonni garuu falfala isaaniitiin injiraan gad yaasuu yaalanii dadhaban. Injiraanis namaa fi horii irra ture.
The magicians tried with their enchantments to produce lice, but they couldn’t. There were lice on man, and on animal.
19 Tolfattoonnis Faraʼooniin, “Kun quba Waaqaa ti” jedhan. Faraʼoon garuu akkuma Waaqayyo dubbate sana mata jabeessa taʼee dhagaʼuu dide.
Then the magicians said to Pharaoh, “This is God’s finger;” but Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he didn’t listen to them, as Yahweh had spoken.
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.
Yahweh said to Moses, “Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh; behold, he comes out to the water; and tell him, ‘This is what Yahweh says, “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.
Else, if you will not let my people go, behold, I will send swarms of flies on you, and on your servants, and on your people, and into your houses. The houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of flies, and also the ground they are on.
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.
I will set apart in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there, to the end you may know that I am Yahweh on the earth.
23 Ani saba kootii fi saba kee gidduutti garaa garummaa nan uuma. Mallattoon kunis bori taʼa.’”
I will put a division between my people and your people. This sign shall happen by tomorrow.”’”
24 Waaqayyos akkasuma godhe. Tisiisni baayʼeen mana Faraʼoonii fi manneen qondaaltota isaatti duude; biyyi Gibxi guutuunis tisiisaan balleeffame.
Yahweh did so; and there came grievous swarms of flies into the house of Pharaoh, and into his servants’ houses. In all the land of Egypt the land was corrupted by reason of the swarms of flies.
25 Faraʼoonis Musee fi Aroonin ofitti waamee, “Dhaqaatii biyyuma kana keessatti Waaqa keessaniif aarsaa dhiʼeessaa” jedheen.
Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, “Go, 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?
Moses said, “It isn’t appropriate to do so; for we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to Yahweh our God. Behold, if we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, won’t they 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 sacrifice to Yahweh our God, as he shall command 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.
Pharaoh said, “I will let you go, that you may sacrifice to Yahweh your God in the wilderness, only you shall not go very far away. 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.”
Moses said, “Behold, I am going out from you. I will pray to Yahweh that the swarms of flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people, tomorrow; only don’t let Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to Yahweh.”
30 Museenis ergasii Faraʼoon biraa baʼee Waaqayyo kadhate;
Moses went out from Pharaoh, and prayed to 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.
Yahweh did according to the word of Moses, and he removed the swarms of flies 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.
Pharaoh hardened his heart this time also, and he didn’t let the people go.
