Kutoka 9
1 Ndipo Bwana akamwambia Mose, “Nenda kwa Farao ukamwambie, ‘Hili ndilo Bwana, Mungu wa Waebrania asemalo: “Waachie watu wangu waende ili wapate kuniabudu.”
Then the Lord said vnto Moses, Go to Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus saith the Lord God of the Ebrewes, Let my people go, that they may serue me.
2 Kama ukikataa kuwaachia waende, nawe ukiendelea kuwashikilia,
But if thou refuse to let them goe, and wilt yet holde them still,
3 mkono wa Bwana utaleta pigo baya kwa mifugo yako, juu ya farasi wako, punda, ngamia, ngʼombe wako, kondoo na mbuzi.
Beholde, the hande of the Lord is vpon thy flocke which is in the fielde: for vpon the horses, vpon the asses, vpon the camels, vpon the cattell, and vpon the sheepe shalbe a mightie great moraine.
4 Lakini Bwana ataweka tofauti kati ya mifugo ya Israeli na ile ya Misri, kwamba hakuna mnyama wa Mwisraeli atakayekufa.’”
And the Lord shall doe wonderfully betweene the beastes of Israel, and the beastes of Egypt: so that there shall nothing dye of all, that pertaineth to the children of Israel.
5 Bwana akaweka wakati na kusema, “Kesho Bwana atalitenda hili katika nchi.”
And the Lord appointed a time, saying, To morowe the Lord shall finish this thing in this lande.
6 Siku iliyofuata Bwana akalitenda: Mifugo yote ya Wamisri ikafa, lakini hakuna hata mnyama mmoja wa wana wa Israeli aliyekufa.
So the Lord did this thing on the morow, and all the cattel of Egypt dyed: but of the cattell of the children of Israel dyed not one.
7 Farao akatuma watu kuchunguza, nao wakakuta kuwa hakuna hata mnyama mmoja wa Waisraeli aliyekufa. Lakini moyo wa Farao haukukubali kuwaachia watu waende.
Then Pharaoh sent, and beholde, there was not one of the cattell of the Israelites dead: and the heart of Pharaoh was obstinate, and hee did not let the people goe.
8 Kisha Bwana akamwambia Mose na Aroni, “Chukueni majivu ya tanuru, naye Mose ayarushe angani mbele ya Farao.
And the Lord said to Moses and to Aaron, Take your handfull of ashes of the fornace, and Moses shall sprinkle them towarde the heauen in the sight of Pharaoh,
9 Yatakuwa vumbi jepesi juu ya nchi yote ya Misri, pia yatatokea majipu yenye kufura juu ya watu na wanyama katika nchi yote.”
And they shall be turned to dust in all the land of Egypt: and it shalbe as a scab breaking out into blisters vpon man, and vpon beast, thorow out all the land of Egypt.
10 Basi wakachukua majivu kwenye tanuru na kusimama mbele ya Farao. Mose akayarusha hewani, nayo majipu yenye kufura yakatokea miilini mwa watu na wanyama.
Then they tooke ashes of the fornace, and stoode before Pharaoh: and Moses sprinkled them towarde the heauen, and there came a scab breaking out into blisters vpon man, and vpon beast.
11 Waganga hawakuweza kusimama mbele ya Mose kwa sababu ya majipu yale yaliyokuwa miilini mwao na juu ya miili ya Wamisri wote.
And the sorcerers could not stande before Moses, because of the scab: for the scab was vpon the enchanters, and vpon all the Egyptians.
12 Lakini Bwana akaufanya moyo wa Farao kuwa mgumu, naye hakuwasikiliza Mose na Aroni, sawasawa kama vile Bwana alivyokuwa amemwambia Mose.
And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he hearkened not vnto them, as the Lord had said vnto Moses.
13 Kisha Bwana akamwambia Mose, “Amka mapema asubuhi, usimame mbele ya Farao, umwambie, ‘Hili ndilo asemalo Bwana, Mungu wa Waebrania: Waachie watu wangu waende, ili kwamba waweze kuniabudu,
Also the Lord said vnto Moses, Rise vp early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus saith the Lord God of the Ebrewes, Let my people goe, that they may serue me.
14 au wakati huu nitaleta mapigo yangu yenye nguvu dhidi yako, maafisa wako na watu wako, ili upate kujua kuwa hakuna mwingine kama Mimi katika dunia yote.
For I will at this time send all my plagues vpon thine heart, and vpon thy seruants, and vpon thy people, that thou mayest knowe that there is none like me in all the earth.
15 Kwa kuwa mpaka sasa ningelikuwa nimenyoosha mkono wangu na kukupiga wewe na watu wako kwa pigo ambalo lingekufutilia mbali juu ya nchi.
For nowe I will stretch out mine hande, that I may smite thee and thy people with the pestilence: and thou shalt perish from the earth.
16 Lakini nimekuinua wewe kwa kusudi hili hasa, ili nipate kukuonyesha uwezo wangu, na ili Jina langu lipate kutangazwa duniani yote.
And in deede, for this cause haue I appointed thee, to shewe my power in thee, and to declare my Name throughout all the world.
17 Bado unaendelea kujiinua juu ya watu wangu, wala hutaki kuwaachia waende.
Yet thou exaltest thy selfe against my people, and lettest them not goe.
18 Kwa hiyo, kesho wakati kama huu nitaleta mvua mbaya sana ya mawe ambayo haijapata kunyesha katika nchi ya Misri, tangu siku ilipoumbwa mpaka leo.
Beholde, to morowe this time I will cause to raine a mightie great haile, such as was not in Egypt since the foundation thereof was laid vnto this time.
19 Sasa toa amri urudishe wanyama wote watoke malishoni na chochote ambacho kipo mashambani waje mpaka mahali pa usalama, kwa sababu mvua ya mawe itanyesha juu ya kila mtu na kila mnyama ambaye hajaletwa ndani ambao bado wako nje mashambani, nao watakufa.’”
Send therefore nowe, and gather the cattell, and all that thou hast in the fielde: for vpon all the men, and the beastes, which are found in the field, and not brought home, the haile shall fall vpon them, and they shall die.
20 Wale maafisa wa Farao ambao waliliogopa neno la Bwana wakafanya haraka kuwaleta watumwa wao na mifugo yao ndani.
Such then as feared the word of the Lord among the seruants of Pharaoh, made his seruants and his cattell flee into the houses:
21 Lakini wale waliopuuza neno la Bwana wakawaacha watumwa wao na mifugo yao shambani.
But such as regarded not the worde of the Lord, left his seruants, and his cattell in the fielde.
22 Ndipo Bwana akamwambia Mose, “Nyoosha mkono wako kuelekea angani ili kwamba mvua ya mawe inyeshe juu ya Misri yote, juu ya watu, wanyama na juu ya kila kitu kiotacho katika mashamba ya Misri.”
And the Lord saide to Moses, Stretche foorth thine hande towarde heauen, that there may be haile in all the land of Egypt, vpon man, and vpon beast, and vpon all the herbes of the fielde in the lande of Egypt.
23 Mose alipoinyoosha fimbo yake kuelekea angani, Bwana akatuma ngurumo na mvua ya mawe, umeme wa radi ulimulika hadi nchi. Kwa hiyo Bwana akaifanya mvua ya mawe kunyesha juu ya nchi ya Misri,
Then Moses stretched out his rod towarde heauen, and the Lord sent thunder and haile, and lightening vpon the ground: and the Lord caused haile to raine vpon the land of Egypt.
24 mvua ya mawe ikanyesha na radi ikamulika pote. Ikawa dhoruba ya kutisha ambayo haijakuwako katika nchi ya Misri, tangu nchi hiyo iwe taifa.
So there was haile, and fire mingled with the haile, so grieuous, as there was none throughout all the lande of Egypt, since it was a nation.
25 Mvua ya mawe ikaharibu kila kitu katika nchi ya Misri kilichokuwa katika mashamba, watu na wanyama, ikaharibu kila kitu kinachoota mashambani na kuvunja kila mti.
And the haile smote throughout al ye land of Egypt all that was in the fielde, both man and beast: also ye haile smote all the herbes of ye field, and brake to pieces all the trees of the fielde.
26 Mahali pekee ambapo mvua ya mawe haikunyesha ni nchi ya Gosheni, ambako Waisraeli waliishi.
Onely in the lande of Goshen (where the children of Israel were) was no haile.
27 Ndipo Farao akawaita Mose na Aroni akawaambia, “Wakati huu nimetenda dhambi. Bwana ni mwenye haki, mimi na watu wangu ni wakosaji.
Then Pharaoh sent and called for Moses and Aaron, and said vnto them, I haue now sinned: the Lord is righteous, but I and my people are wicked.
28 Mwombeni Bwana, kwa kuwa tumepata ngurumo na mvua za mawe za kututosha. Nitawaachia mwondoke; hamtahitaji kungoja zaidi.”
Pray ye vnto the Lord (for it is ynough) that there be no more mightie thunders and haile, and I will let you goe, and yee shall tarie no longer.
29 Mose akamjibu, “Nitakapokuwa nimetoka nje ya mji, nitanyoosha mikono yangu juu kumwomba Bwana. Ngurumo zitakoma na hapatakuwepo mvua ya mawe tena, ili upate kujua kuwa, nchi ni mali ya Bwana.
Then Moses saide vnto him, Assoone as I am out of the citie, I will spreade mine hands vnto the Lord, and the thunder shall cease, neither shall there be any more haile, that thou mayest knowe that the earth is the Lordes.
30 Lakini ninajua kuwa wewe na maafisa wako bado hammwogopi Bwana Mungu.”
As for thee and thy seruants, I knowe afore I pray ye will feare before the face of the Lord God.
31 (Kitani na shayiri viliharibiwa, kwa kuwa shayiri ilikuwa na masuke, na kitani ilikuwa katika kutoa maua.
(And the flaxe, and the barley were smitten: for the barley was eared, and the flaxe was bolled.
32 Hata hivyo, ngano na jamii nyingine ya ngano hazikuharibiwa kwa sababu zilikuwa hazijakomaa bado.)
But the wheat and the rye were not smitten, for they were hid in the grounde)
33 Kisha Mose akaondoka kwa Farao akaenda nje ya mji. Mose akanyoosha mikono yake kuelekea kwa Bwana, ngurumo na mvua ya mawe vikakoma, mvua haikuendelea tena kunyesha nchini.
Then Moses went out of the citie from Pharaoh, and spred his hands to the Lord, and the thunder and the haile ceased, neither rained it vpon the earth.
34 Farao alipoona kwamba mvua ya mawe na ngurumo zimekoma, akafanya dhambi tena. Yeye na maafisa wake wakafanya mioyo yao kuwa migumu.
And when Pharaoh sawe that the raine and the haile and the thunder were ceased, hee sinned againe, and hardened his heart, both he, and his seruants.
35 Kwa hiyo moyo wa Farao ukawa mgumu, wala hakuwaachia Waisraeli waende, kama vile Bwana alivyokuwa amesema kupitia Mose.
So the heart of Pharaoh was hardened: neither would he let the children of Israel goe, as the Lord had said by Moses.
