Ekisodho 10
1 Ipapo Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi, “Enda kuna Faro nokuti ndaomesa mwoyo wake uye nemwoyo yamachinda ake kuitira kuti ndiite zviratidzo zvangu izvi pakati pavo,
And the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh: for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I might shew these my signs in the midst of them:
2 kuti mugoudza vana venyu navazukuru venyu marangiro akaoma andakaita vaIjipita uye kuti ndakaita zviratidzo zvangu sei pakati pavo, uye kuti imi mugoziva kuti ndini Jehovha.”
and that thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son, and of thy son’s son, what things I have wrought upon Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; that ye may know that I am the LORD.
3 Saka Mozisi naAroni vakaenda kuna Faro vakandoti kwaari, “Zvanzi naJehovha: Mwari wavaHebheru, ‘Uchasvika riniko uchiramba kuzvininipisa pamberi pangu? Rega vanhu vangu vaende kuti vanondinamata.
And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, How long wilt thou refuse to humble thyself before me? let my people go, that they may serve me.
4 Kana uchiramba kuvatendera kuenda, ini ndichauyisa mhashu munyika yako mangwana.
Else, if thou refuse to let my people go, behold, tomorrow will I bring locusts into thy border:
5 Dzichafukidza nyika yose zvokuti pasi hapangaonekwi. Dzichadya zvishoma zvawakanga wasiyirwa shure kwechimvuramabwe, pamwe chete nemiti yose iri kumera muminda yako.
and they shall cover the face of the earth, that one shall not be able to see the earth: and they shall eat the residue of that which is escaped, which remaineth unto you from the hail, and shall eat every tree which groweth for you out of the field:
6 Dzichazadza dzimba dzako nedzamachinda ako nedzavaIjipita vose, chinhu chisina kumboonekwa namadzibaba ako kana madzitateguru ako kubva pazuva ravakagara munyika ino kusvika zvino.’” Ipapo Mozisi akatendeuka akabva pana Faro.
and thy houses shall be filled, and the houses of all thy servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians; as neither thy fathers nor thy fathers’ fathers have seen, since the day that they were upon the earth unto this day. And he turned, and went out from Pharaoh.
7 Machinda aFaro akati kwaari, “Munhu uyu acharamba ari musungo kwatiri kusvikira riniko? Regai vanhu vaende, kuti vagonamata Jehovha Mwari wavo. Ko, hamusi kuzviona here nazvino kuti Ijipiti yaparara?”
And Pharaoh’s servants said unto him, How long shall this man be a snare unto us? let the men go, that they may serve the LORD their God: knowest thou not yet that Egypt is destroyed?
8 Ipapo Mozisi naAroni vakadzoswazve kuna Faro. Iye akati, “Endai mundonamata Jehovha Mwari wenyu. Asi vachaenda ndivanaaniko?”
And Moses and Aaron were brought again unto Pharaoh: and he said unto them, Go, serve the LORD your God; but who are they that shall go?
9 Mozisi akapindura akati, “Tichaenda navaduku vedu uye navakuru, pamwe chete navanakomana vedu navanasikana vedu, uye namakwai edu nemombe dzedu, nokuti tinofanira kuita mutambo wokupemberera Jehovha.”
And Moses said, We will go with our young and with our old, with our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our herds will we go; for we must hold a feast unto the LORD.
10 Faro akati, “Jehovha ngaave nemi, kana ndikakutenderai kuenda, pamwe chete navakadzi navana venyu! Zviri pachena kuti imi muri kuda kuita zvakaipa.
And he said unto them, So be the LORD with you, as I will let you go, and your little ones: look to it; for evil is before you.
11 Kwete! Varume chete ngavaende; vandonamata Jehovha, sezvo zviri izvo zvamanga muchikumbira.” Ipapo Mozisi naAroni vakadzingwa pamberi paFaro.
Not so: go now ye that are men, and serve the LORD; for that is what ye desire. And they were driven out from Pharaoh’s presence.
12 Uye Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi, “Tambanudza ruoko rwako pamusoro peIjipiti kuitira kuti mhashu dzigoita bute pamusoro dzigodya zvose zvinomera muminda, zvose zvakasiyiwa nechimvuramabwe.”
And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up upon the land of Egypt, and eat every herb of the land, even all that the hail hath left.
13 Saka Mozisi akatambanudza tsvimbo yake pamusoro peIjipiti, uye Jehovha akaita kuti mhepo yokumabvazuva ivhuvhute munyika zuva rose nousiku hwose. Mangwanani, mhepo yakanga yauyisa mhashu;
And Moses stretched forth his rod over the land of Egypt, and the LORD brought an east wind upon the land all that day, and all the night; and when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts.
14 dzakazadza Ijipiti yose uye dzikamhara munzvimbo dzose dzenyika dzakawanda zvikuru. Hakuna kutongova nedambudziko remhashu rakadai, uye harichazombovapozve.
And the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested in all the borders of Egypt; very grievous were they; before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after them shall be such.
15 Dzakafukidza pasi pose kusvikira pasviba kuti svi-i. Dzakadya zvose zvakanga zvasara shure kwechimvuramabwe, zvinhu zvose zvaimera muminda uye michero yaiva pamiti. Hakuna chakasvibirira chakasara mumiti kana zvirimwa zvomunyika yose yeIjipiti.
For they covered the face of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened; and they did eat every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left: and there remained not any green thing, either tree or herb of the field, through all the land of Egypt.
16 Faro akakurumidza kudana Mozisi naAroni akati, “Ndatadzira Jehovha Mwari wenyu uye nemi.
Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste; and he said, I have sinned against the LORD your God, and against you.
17 Zvino ndiregerereizve chivi changu uye munyengetere kuna Jehovha Mwari wenyu kuti abvise kwandiri dambudziko rinouraya iri.”
Now therefore forgive, I pray thee, my sin only this once, and entreat the LORD your God, that he may take away from me this death only.
18 Ipapo Mozisi akabva pana Faro akanyengetera kuna Jehovha.
And he went out from Pharaoh, and entreated the LORD.
19 Uye Jehovha akashandura mhepo ikava mhepo ine simba yokumavirira ikasimudza mhashu ikadzikanda muGungwa Dzvuku. Hapana mhashu yakasara papi zvapo muIjipiti.
And the LORD turned an exceeding strong west wind, which took up the locusts, and drove them into the Red Sea; there remained not one locust in all the border of Egypt.
20 Asi Jehovha akaomesa mwoyo waFaro, uye akasatendera vaIsraeri kuti vaende.
But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he did not let the children of Israel go.
21 Ipapo Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi, “Tambanudzira ruoko rwako kudenga kuti rima ripararire pamusoro peIjipiti, rima rinonzwikwa.”
And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt.
22 Saka Mozisi akatambanudzira ruoko rwake kudenga, rima guru rikafukidza Ijipiti yose kwamazuva matatu.
And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days;
23 Hapana aigona kuona mumwe munhu papi zvapo kana kubva panzvimbo yake kwamazuva matatu. Asi vaIsraeri vainge vane chiedza munzvimbo dzavaigara.
they saw not one another, neither rose any from his place for three days: but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.
24 Ipapo Faro akadana Mozisi akati, “Endai mundonamata Jehovha. Kunyange vakadzi venyu navana vangaenda havo nemi; musiye chete makwai enyu nemombe.”
And Pharaoh called unto Moses, and said, Go ye, serve the LORD; only let your flocks and your herds be stayed: let your little ones also go with you.
25 Asi Mozisi akati, “Munofanira kutitendera kuti tive nezvibayiro uye nezvipiriso zvinopiswa kuti tipe kuna Jehovha Mwari wedu.
And Moses said, Thou must also give into our hand sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice unto the LORD our God.
26 Zvipfuwo zvedu zvinofanira kuendawo nesu; hapana hwanda rinofanira kusara. Tinofanira kuzvishandisa zvimwe zvacho mukunamata Jehovha Mwari wedu, uye kusvikira tasvikako hatingazivi zvatingashandisa kuti tinamate Jehovha.”
Our cattle also shall go with us; there shall not an hoof be left behind; for thereof must we take to serve the LORD our God; and we know not with what we must serve the LORD, until we come thither.
27 Asi Jehovha akaomesa mwoyo waFaro, saka haana kuda kuvatendera kuti vaende.
But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he would not let them go.
28 Faro akati kuna Mozisi, “Ibvai pano! Chenjerai kuti murege kuzoonekwazve pamberi pangu! Musi wamuchaona chiso changu muchafa.”
And Pharaoh said unto him, Get thee from me, take heed to thyself, see my face no more; for in the day thou seest my face thou shalt die.
29 Mozisi akapindura akati, “Sezvamareva, handichazoonekwazve pamberi penyu.”
And Moses said, Thou hast spoken well; I will see thy face again no more.
