Kutoka 8
1 Kisha Yahweh akazungumza na Musa, “Nenda kwa Farao na umwambie, 'Yahweh anasema hivi: Acha watu wangu waende hili wakaniabudu.
Afterward the Lord sayde vnto Moses, Goe vnto Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus saith the Lord, Let my people goe, that they may serue me:
2 Ukikataa kuwaruhusu waende, nitaidhuru nchi yako yote kwa vyura.
And if thou wilt not let them goe, beholde, I will smite all thy countrey with frogges:
3 Mito itajawa na vyura. Watatoka na kuingia nyumbani kwako, chumbani kwako, na kitandani kwako. Wataenda nyumbani mwa watumishi wako. Wataenda kwa watu wako, kwenye majiko yako, na vyombo vya kukandia mkate.
And the riuer shall scral ful of frogges, which shall goe vp and come into thine house, and into thy chamber, where thou sleepest, and vpon thy bed, and into the house of thy seruants, and vpon thy people, and into thine ouens, and into thy kneading troughes.
4 Vyura watakushambulia wewe, watu wako, na watumishi wako wote."”'
Yea, the frogges shall climbe vp vpon thee, and on thy people, and vpon all thy seruants.
5 Yahweh akamwambia Musa, “Mwambie Aruni, 'Nyoosha mkono wako na gongo lako kwenye mito, mifereji, na kwenye mabwawa, na uwatoe vyura juu ya nchi ya Misri.”'
Also the Lord said vnto Moses, Say thou vnto Aaron, Stretch out thine hande with thy rod vpon the streames, vpon the riuers, and vpon the ponds, and cause frogs to come vp vpon the land of Egypt.
6 Aruni akanyoosha mkono juu ya maji ya Misri, na vyura wakatoka na kujaza nchi ya Misri.
Then Aaron stretched out his hand vpon the waters of Egypt, and the frogges came vp, and couered the land of Egypt.
7 Lakini wachawi walifanya vivyo hivyo na uchawi wao: waliwatoa vyura juu ya nchi ya Misri.
And the sorcerers did likewise with their sorceries, and brought frogges vp vpon the land of Egypt.
8 Kisha Farao akawaita Musa na Aruni na kuwaambia, “Muombeni Yahweh iliawaondoe vyura kwangu na kwa watu wangu. Kisha nitawaacha watu waende, iliwamtolee dhabihu.”
Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, Pray ye vnto the Lord, that hee may take away the frogges from mee, and from my people, and I will let the people goe, that they may doe sacrifice vnto the Lord.
9 Musa akamwambia Farao, “Unaweza chukuwa fursa ya kuniambia lini nikuombee wewe, watumishi wako, na watu wako, ili vyura waondolewe kwako na nyumbani kwako na wabaki tu kwenye mito.”
And Moses said vnto Pharaoh, Concerning me, euen command when I shall pray for thee, and for thy seruants, and for thy people, to destroy the frogges from thee and from thine houses, that they may remaine in the riuer only.
10 Farao akasema, “Kesho.” Musa akasema, “Acha iwe kama ulivyo sema, ili kwamba ujue hakuna Mungu mwengine kama Yahweh, Mungu wetu.
Then he said, To morowe. And he answered, Be it as thou hast said, that thou maiest know, that there is none like vnto the Lord our God.
11 Vyura wataondoka kutoka kwako, nyumbani mwako, kwa watumishi wako, na kwa watu wako. Watabaki tu kwenye mito.”
So the frogges shall depart from thee, and from thine houses, and from thy seruantes, and from thy people: onely they shall remaine in the riuer.
12 Musa na Aruni wakaondoka kwa Farao. Kisha Musa akamlilia Yahweh kuhusu hao vyura alio waleta kwa Farao.
Then Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh: and Moses cryed vnto the Lord concerning the frogges, which hee had sent vnto Pharaoh.
13 Yahweh akafanya kama Musa alivyo omba: Vyura wakafa kwenye nyumba, nyuani, na mashambani.
And the Lord did according to the saying of Moses: so the frogges died in the houses, in the townes, and in the fieldes.
14 Watu wakawakusanya kwa mafungu, na nchi ikanuka.
And they gathered the together by heaps, and the land stanke of them.
15 Lakini Farao alipoona kuna afadhali, aliufanya moyo wake kuwa mgumu na hakumsikiliza Musa na Aruni, kama Yahweh alivyo sema.
But when Pharaoh sawe that hee had rest giuen him, he hardened his heart, and hearkened not vnto them, as the Lord had said.
16 Yahweh akamwambia Musa, “Mwambie Aruni, 'Nyoosha gongo lako na upige udongo chini, iliuwe chawa kati nchi yote ya Misri.”'
Againe the Lord sayd vnto Moses, Say vnto Aaron, Stretche out the rod, and smite the dust of the earth, that it may bee turned to lyce throughout all the land of Egypt.
17 Wakanya hivyo: Aruni akanyoosha mkono wake na gongo lake. Akaupiga udongo wa ardhi. Chawa wakaja juu ya watu na wanyama. Udongo wote kwenye ardhi ukawa chawa katika nchi ya Misri.
And they did so: for Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and smote the dust of the earth: and lyce came vpon man and vpon beast: all the dust of the earth was lyce throughout all the land of Egypt.
18 Wachawi walijaribu kufanya chawa kwa uganga wao lakini hawakuweza. Palikuwa na chawa kwa watu na kwa wanyama.
Nowe the enchanters assaied likewise with their enchantments to bring forth lyce, but they could not. So the lyce were vpon man and vpon beast.
19 Kisha wachawi wakamwambia Farao, “Hichi ni kidole cha Mungu.” Lakini moyo wa Farao ulikuwa Mgumu, hivyo akakataa kuwasikiliza. Ilikuwa kama Yahweh alivyo sema Farao atafanya.
Then saide the enchanters vnto Pharaoh, This is the finger of God. But Pharaohs heart remained obstinate, and hee hearkened not vnto them, as the Lord had said.
20 Yahweh akamwambia Musa, “Inuka asubui mapema na usimame mbele ya Farao anapoenda mtoni. Umwambie, 'Yahweh anasema hivi: “Acha watu wangu waende wakaniabudu mimi.
Moreouer the Lord sayd to Moses, Rise vp earely in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh (lo, hee will come forth vnto the water) and say vnto him, Thus saith the Lord, Let my people go, that they may serue me.
21 Lakini usipo acha watu wangu waende nitatuma kundi la nzi kwako, watumishi wako, na watu wako, na kwenye nyumba zenu. Nyumba za wa Misri zitajawa na makundi ya nzi, na ata ardhi wanayo simama itajawa na nzi.
Els, if thou wilt not let my people goe, behold, I will send swarmes of flies both vpon thee, and vpon thy seruants, and vpon thy people, and into thine houses: and the houses of the Egyptians shalbe full of swarmes of flies, and the ground also whereon they are.
22 Lakini katika siku hiyo nitaitendea nchi ya Gosheni tofauti, nchi ambayo watu wangu wanaishi, ilikwamba kusiwe na makundi ya nzi huko. Hili litatokea ili kwamba mjue mimi ni Yahweh katika hii nchi.
But ye land of Goshe, where my people are, wil I cause to be wonderfull in that day, so that no swarmes of flies shalbe there, that thou maiest know that I am the Lord in the middes of the earth.
23 Nitaweka utofauti kati ya watu wangu na watu wako. Hii ishara ya nguvu zangu itatokea kesho"”'
And I will make a deliuerance of my people from thy people: to morowe shall this miracle be.
24 Yahweh akafanya hivyo, na kundi kubwa la nzi likaja nyumbani mwa Farao na nyumbani mwa watumishi wake. Katika nchi yote ya Misri, nchi iliharibiwa na makundi ya nzi.
And the Lord did so: for there came great swarmes of flies into the house of Pharaoh, and into his seruants houses, so that through all the lande of Egypt, the earth was corrupt by the swarmes of flies.
25 Farao akawaita Musa na Aruni na kuwaambia, “Nendeni, mtolee Mungu wenu dhabihu kwenye nchi yetu.”
Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and saide, Goe, doe sacrifice vnto your God in this lande.
26 Musa akasema, “Sio vyema sisi kufanya hivyo, kwa kuwa dhabihu tunazo mtolea Yahweh Mungu wetu zinachukiza kwa Wamisri. Kama tutatoa dhabihu mbele ya macho yao zilizo chukizo kwa Wamisri, hawata tupiga mawe?
But Moses answered, It is not meete to do so: for then we shoulde offer vnto the Lord our God that, which is an abomination vnto the Egyptians. Loe, can we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, and they not stone vs?
27 Hapana, ni safari ya siku tatu kwenda nyikani ambayo lazima tuende, ili kiutoa dhabihu kwa Yahweh Mungu wetu, kama anavyo tuamuru.”
Let vs go three dayes iourney in the desert, and sacrifice vnto the Lord our God, as he hath commanded vs.
28 Farao akasema, “Nitakuruhusu kwenda kumtolea dhabihu Yahweh Mungu wenu nyikani. Ila usiende mbali sana. Niombee.”
And Pharaoh said, I will let you go, that ye may sacrifice vnto the Lord your God in the wildernesse: but goe not farre away, pray for me.
29 Musa akasema, “Wakati tu nitakapoenda kutoka kwako, nitamuomba Yahweh ili makundi ya nzi yatoke kwako, wewe Farao, na watumishi wako na watu kesho. Lakini usifanye udhalimu tena kwa kutowaacha watu wetu waende kumtolea dhabihu Yahweh.”
And Moses said, Behold, I will go out from thee, and pray vnto the Lord, that the swarmes of flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his seruants, and from his people to morowe: but let Pharaoh from hencefoorth deceiue no more, in not suffering the people to sacrifice vnto the Lord.
30 Musa akaenda nje kutoka kwa Farao na kumuomba Yahweh.
So Moses went out from Pharaoh and prayed vnto the Lord.
31 Yahweh akafanya kama Musa alivyo muomba: alitoa makundi ya nzi kutoka kwa Farao, watumishi wake, na watu wake. Hakuna ata mmoja aliye baki.
And the Lord did according to the saying of Moses, and the swarmes of flies departed from Pharaoh, from his seruants, and from his people, and there remained not one.
32 Lakini Farao aliufanya moyo wake mgumu tena, na hakuwaacha watu waende.
Yet Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also, and did not let the people goe.
