1 ౧ యెహోవా మోషేతో “నువ్వు ఫరో దగ్గరికి వెళ్లి అతనితో ఇలా చెప్పు, ‘నన్ను ఆరాధించి సేవించడానికి నా ప్రజలను పంపించు.
၁ထာဝရဘုရားကမောရှေအား``ဘုရင်ထံ သို့သွား၍`ငါထာဝရဘုရားအားဝတ်ပြု နိုင်ရန် ငါ၏လူမျိုးတော်ကိုသွားခွင့်ပြု လော့။-
၂သင်သည်သူတို့ကိုသွားခွင့်မပြုလျှင် ငါ သည်သင်၏တစ်တိုင်းပြည်လုံးကိုဖားဖြင့် ဒဏ်ခတ်မည်။-
3 ౩ నదిలో కప్పలు విపరీతంగా పుట్టుకొస్తాయి. అవి నీ ఇంట్లోకి, నీ పడక గదిలోకి, నీ మంచం పైకి, నీ సేవకుల పైకి, నీ ప్రజల పైకి, నీ పొయ్యిల్లో నీ పిండి పిసికే పాత్రల్లోకి ఎక్కివస్తాయి.
၃မြစ်ထဲတွင်ဖားများဖြင့်ပြည့်စေမည်။ ထိုဖား တို့သည်မြစ်ထဲမှသင်၏နန်းတော်၊ အိပ်ခန်း၊ အိပ်ရာ၊ သင်၏မှူးမတ်နှင့်ပြည်သားတို့၏အိမ် များ၊ သင်၏မီးဖိုနှင့်မုန့်နယ်ရာခွက်များသို့ တက်လာကြလိမ့်မည်။-
၄ဖားတို့သည်သင်နှင့်သင်၏မှူးမတ်၊ ပြည်သူတို့ အပေါ်သို့ခုန်တက်ကြလိမ့်မည်' ဟုပြောလော့'' ဟူ၍မိန့်တော်မူ၏။
5 ౫ యెహోవా మోషేతో ఇంకా ఇలా చెప్పాడు. “నువ్వు అహరోనుతో ‘నీ కర్ర పట్టుకుని నది పాయల మీద, కాలవల మీద, చెరువుల మీద నీ చెయ్యి చాపి ఐగుప్తు దేశం పైకి కప్పలను రప్పించు’ అని చెప్పు” అన్నాడు.
၅တစ်ဖန်ထာဝရဘုရားက``အာရုန်အားမြစ် များ၊ ချောင်းများ၊ အင်းအိုင်များပေါ်သို့သင်၏ တောင်ဝှေးကိုကိုင်၍လက်ကိုဆန့်သောအား ဖြင့်ဖားများတက်လာ၍ အီဂျစ်တစ်ပြည်လုံး တွင်ဖားများဖြင့်ပြည့်စေလော့'' ဟုမောရှေ အားမိန့်တော်မူ၏။-
6 ౬ అహరోను ఐగుప్తు దేశం లోని నీళ్ళ మీద తన చెయ్యి చాపాడు. అప్పుడు కప్పలు పుట్టుకొచ్చి ఐగుప్తు దేశాన్ని కప్పివేశాయి.
၆ထို့ကြောင့်အာရုန်သည်ရေပြင်ရှိသမျှပေါ် သို့သူ၏လက်ကိုဆန့်သဖြင့် ဖားများအလွန် မြောက်မြားစွာတက်လာ၍အီဂျစ်တစ်ပြည် လုံးတွင်ဖားတို့ဖြင့်ပြည့်နှက်လျက်ရှိလေ၏။-
7 ౭ ఐగుప్తు దేశపు మాంత్రికులు కూడా తమ మంత్ర శక్తులు ఉపయోగించి ఐగుప్తు దేశం అంతటా కప్పలను రప్పించారు.
၇မှော်ဆရာတို့ကလည်းမိမိတို့၏အတတ် ပညာဖြင့် အီဂျစ်ပြည်သို့ဖားများတက် လာစေကြ၏။
8 ౮ అప్పుడు ఫరో మోషే అహరోనులను పిలిపించాడు. “నా దగ్గర నుండి, నా ప్రజల దగ్గర నుండి ఈ కప్పలు తొలగిపోయేలా చేయమని యెహోవాను ప్రాధేయపడండి. కప్పలు తొలగిపోతే యెహోవాకు బలులు అర్పించడానికి ఈ ప్రజలను పంపిస్తాను” అని చెప్పాడు.
၈ထိုအခါဘုရင်သည် မောရှေနှင့်အာရုန်တို့ ကိုခေါ်၍ ``ငါနှင့်ငါ၏ပြည်သားတို့ထံမှ ဖားတို့ကိုဖယ်ရှားပေးရန်ထာဝရဘုရား ထံဆုတောင်းပါလော့။ သို့ပြုလျှင်သင်တို့၏ အမျိုးသားများ ထာဝရဘုရားကိုယဇ် ပူဇော်ရန်သွားခွင့်ကိုငါပြုမည်'' ဟုဆို၏။
9 ౯ అందుకు మోషే “ఈ కప్పలు మీ మీద, మీ ఇళ్ళలో ఉండకుండాా చచ్చి మిగిలినవన్నీ నదిలోనే ఉండిపోయేలా నీ కోసం, నీ సేవకుల కోసం నేను దేవుణ్ణి ఎప్పుడు ప్రాధేయపడాలో నన్ను అడిగే అవకాశం నీదే” అన్నాడు. అప్పుడు ఫరో “రేపే ఆ పని చెయ్యి” అని బదులిచ్చాడు.
၉မောရှေက``ကိုယ်တော်နှင့်ကိုယ်တော်၏မှူးမတ် ပြည်သူတို့၏အိမ်များမှဖားတို့ကိုဖယ်ရှား ၍ နိုင်းမြစ်ထဲ၌သာဖားများနေစေရန်မည် သည့်အချိန်တွင်ဆုတောင်းပေးရပါမည် နည်း'' ဟုမေးလျှောက်သော်၊
10 ౧౦ అందుకు మోషే “మా దేవుడు యెహోవా లాంటి వాడు ఎవ్వరూ లేడు అని నువ్వు గ్రహించేలా నువ్వు కోరుకున్నట్టు జరుగుతుంది.
၁၀ဖာရောဘုရင်က``နက်ဖြန်နေ့တွင်ဆုတောင်း ပေးပါလော့'' ဟုဆိုလေ၏။ ထိုအခါမောရှေက``ကိုယ်တော်ပြောသည် အတိုင်း ဆုတောင်းပေးပါမည်။ အကျွန်ုပ်တို့ ၏ဘုရားသခင်ထာဝရဘုရားနှင့်တူ သော အခြားဘုရားမရှိကြောင်းကိုယ်တော် သိပါလိမ့်မည်။-
11 ౧౧ కప్పలు మీ నుండి, మీ ఇళ్ళ నుండి, నీ సేవకుల, నీ ప్రజల ఇళ్ళనుండి తొలగిపోయి నదిలోకి చేరుకుంటాయి” అన్నాడు.
၁၁ဖားတို့ကိုကိုယ်တော်၏နန်းတော်နှင့်ကိုယ် တော်၏မှူးမတ်ပြည်သူတို့ထံမှဖယ်ရှား၍ မြစ်ထဲ၌သာနေစေလိမ့်မည်'' ဟုလျှောက် ထားပြီးလျှင်၊-
12 ౧౨ మోషే అహరోనులు ఫరో దగ్గర నుండి బయలుదేరి వెళ్ళారు. యెహోవా ఫరో మీదికి రప్పించిన కప్పల విషయం మోషే ఆయనకు మొరపెట్టాడు.
၁၂မောရှေနှင့်အာရုန်တို့သည်ဘုရင်ထံမှထွက် ခဲ့ကြ၏။ ဘုရင်သည်ထာဝရဘုရားသင့်စေ သောဖားများ၏ဘေးမှလွတ်မြောက်ရန်အတွက် မောရှေသည်ထာဝရဘုရားထံတွင်ဆုတောင်း လေ၏။-
၁၃ထာဝရဘုရားသခင်သည်မောရှေဆုတောင်း သည့်အတိုင်းပြုတော်မူသဖြင့်အိမ်များ၊ ခြံ များ၊ လယ်ကွင်းများထဲရှိဖားများသေကြ ကုန်၏။-
၁၄အီဂျစ်ပြည်သားတို့သည်ဖားသေကောင်များ ကိုစုပုံထားကြရာတစ်ပြည်လုံးတွင်နံစော် လျက်ရှိလေ၏။-
15 ౧౫ ఇబ్బంది నుండి ఉపశమనం కలిగింది. యెహోవా చెప్పినట్టు ఫరో మళ్ళీ తన హృదయం కఠినం చేసుకుని వారి మాట లక్ష్యపెట్టలేదు.
၁၅တိုင်းပြည်တွင်အခြေအနေကောင်းလာကြောင်း ကိုတွေ့မြင်ရသောအခါ၊ ဘုရင်သည်ထာဝရ ဘုရားမိန့်တော်မူခဲ့သည့်အတိုင်းခေါင်းမာမြဲ ခေါင်းမာလျက် မောရှေနှင့်အာရုန်တို့၏စကား ကိုနားမထောင်ဘဲနေလေ၏။
16 ౧౬ అప్పుడు యెహోవా మోషేతో “నువ్వు నీ కర్రను చాపి ఈ దేశంలో ఉన్న దుమ్మును కొట్టు. ఆ దుమ్ము ఐగుప్తు దేశమంతా చిన్న దోమల్లాగా అలుముకుంటుంది అని అహరోనుతో చెప్పు” అన్నాడు. అప్పుడు వారిద్దరూ ఆ విధంగా చేశారు.
၁၆တစ်ဖန်ထာဝရဘုရားက``အာရုန်အားမြေ ကြီးကိုသင်၏တောင်ဝှေးနှင့်ရိုက်လော့။ အီဂျစ် တစ်ပြည်လုံးတွင်မြေမှုန့်ရှိသမျှသည်တော ခြင်များဖြစ်လာလိမ့်မည်ဟုပြောလော့'' ဟူ ၍မောရှေအားမိန့်တော်မူ၏။-
17 ౧౭ అహరోను తన కర్రను చాపి ఆ దేశపు దుమ్మును కొట్టినప్పుడు మనుష్యుల మీద, జంతువుల మీద చిన్న దోమలు వచ్చాయి. ఐగుప్తు దేశంలోని దుమ్ము అంతా రేగి దోమల్లాగా వ్యాపించాయి.
၁၇ထို့ကြောင့်အာရုန်သည်တောင်ဝှေးဖြင့်မြေ ကြီးကိုရိုက်သဖြင့် အီဂျစ်ပြည်ရှိမြေမှုန့် ရှိသမျှသည်တောခြင်ဖြစ်လာ၍ လူနှင့် တိရစ္ဆာန်တို့၌တွယ်ကပ်လေ၏။-
18 ౧౮ మాంత్రికులు కూడా చిన్నదోమలు పుట్టించాలని తమ మంత్రాలు ప్రయోగించారు గానీ వారి వల్ల కాలేదు. మనుష్యుల మీదా, జంతువుల మీదా చిన్న దోమలు నిలిచి ఉన్నప్పుడు
၁၈မှော်ဆရာတို့လည်းမိမိတို့၏အတတ်ပညာ ဖြင့် တောခြင်များဖြစ်လာရန်အားထုတ်ကြ သော်လည်းမအောင်မြင်ကြချေ။ တောခြင် များသည်လူနှင့်တိရစ္ဆာန်တို့၌တွယ်ကပ် လေသည်။-
19 ౧౯ మాంత్రికులు “ఇది దేవుడైన యెహోవా వేలు” అని ఫరోతో చెప్పారు. అయినప్పటికీ యెహోవా చెప్పినట్టు ఫరో హృదయం కఠినం కావడం వల్ల అతడు వారి మాట వినలేదు.
၁၉ထိုအခါမှော်ဆရာတို့ကဘုရင်အား``ဤ အမှုအရာသည်ထာဝရဘုရားပြုတော် မူသောအမှုဖြစ်၏'' ဟုလျှောက်ကြ၏။ သို့ ရာတွင်ဘုရင်သည်ထာဝရဘုရားမိန့်တော် မူခဲ့သည့်အတိုင်းခေါင်းမာမြဲခေါင်းမာလျက် မောရှေနှင့်အာရုန်တို့၏စကားကိုနား မထောင်ဘဲနေလေ၏။
20 ౨౦ కాబట్టి యెహోవా మోషేతో “నువ్వు ఉదయాన్నే లేచి నది దగ్గర ఉన్న ఫరో ఎదుట నిలిచి అతనితో, నన్ను ఆరాధించడానికి నా ప్రజలను వెళ్లనివ్వు.
၂၀တစ်ဖန်ထာဝရဘုရားကမောရှေအား``နံနက် စောစောအချိန်၌ဘုရင်သည်ရေဆိပ်သို့သွား သောအခါ သူနှင့်တွေ့ဆုံ၍`ငါ၏လူမျိုးတော် သည်ငါ့အားဝတ်ပြုနိုင်ရန်သူတို့ကိုသွား ခွင့်ပြုလော့။-
21 ౨౧ నువ్వు నా ప్రజలను వెళ్ళనివ్వని పక్షంలో నేను నీ మీదికీ, నీ సేవకుల మీదికీ, నీ ప్రజలందరి మీదికీ మీ ఇళ్ళలోకీ ఈగల గుంపులను పంపుతాను. ఐగుప్తీయుల ఇళ్ళూ వారు ఉండే ప్రదేశాలూ ఈగల గుంపులతో నిండిపోతాయి.
၂၁သွားခွင့်မပြုလျှင်သင်နှင့်သင်၏မှူးမတ် ပြည်သူတို့ထံသို့မှက်ကောင်များကိုငါ စေလွှတ်မည်။ အီဂျစ်ပြည်သားတို့၏အိမ် များနှင့်မြေတစ်ပြင်လုံးကိုမှက်ကောင် များဖြင့်ပြည့်စေမည်။-
22 ౨౨ భూమిపై నేనే యెహోవాను అని నువ్వు తెలుసుకొనేలా ఆ రోజు నేను నా ప్రజలు నివసిస్తున్న గోషెను దేశాన్ని దీని నుండి మినహాయిస్తాను. అక్కడ ఈగల గుంపులు ఉండవు.
၂၂ထိုနေ့တွင်ငါ၏လူမျိုးတော်နေထိုင်ရာ ဂေါရှင်ဒေသကိုချန်လှပ်၍ထားသဖြင့် ထို ဒေသ၌မှက်ကောင်မရှိစေရ။ ထိုသို့ပြုခြင်း အားဖြင့်ငါထာဝရဘုရားသည်ဤပြည် တွင်ရှိတော်မူကြောင်းကိုသင်သိရလိမ့်မည်။-
23 ౨౩ నా ప్రజలను నీ ప్రజల నుండి ప్రత్యేకపరుస్తాను. రేపే ఈ అద్భుత కార్యం జరుగుతుంది అని యెహోవా సెలవిచ్చాడు అని చెప్పు” అన్నాడు.
၂၃ငါသည်ငါ၏လူမျိုးတော်နှင့်သင်၏လူမျိုး ကိုခြားနား၍ထားမည်။ ဤနိမိတ်လက္ခဏာ ကိုနက်ဖြန်နေ့တွင်ငါပြမည်' ဟုထာဝရ ဘုရားမိန့်တော်မူကြောင်းပြောလော့'' ဟူ၍ မိန့်တော်မူသည်။-
24 ౨౪ యెహోవా ఆ విధంగా జరిగించాడు. బాధ కలిగించే ఈగల గుంపులు ఫరో ఇంట్లోకి, అతని సేవకుల ఇళ్ళలోకి, ఐగుప్తు దేశమంతా వ్యాపించాయి. ఈగల గుంపులమయమై ఆ దేశమంతా పాడై పోయింది.
၂၄ထာဝရဘုရားသည်မှက်ကောင်အုပ်ကြီးများ ကိုဘုရင်၏နန်းတော်၊ မှူးမတ်တို့၏အိမ်များ နှင့်အီဂျစ်တစ်ပြည်လုံးသို့စေလွှတ်တော်မူ ၏။ မှက်ကောင်များကြောင့်တိုင်းပြည်ပျက် ရလေ၏။
25 ౨౫ అప్పుడు ఫరో మోషే అహరోనులను పిలిపించాడు. “మీరు వెళ్లి మన దేశంలోనే మీ దేవునికి బలి అర్పించుకోండి” అని వాళ్ళతో చెప్పాడు.
၂၅ထိုအခါဘုရင်သည် မောရှေနှင့်အာရုန်တို့ ကိုခေါ်၍``သင်တို့၏ဘုရားအားဤပြည် ထဲ၌ယဇ်ပူဇော်လော့'' ဟုဆိုလေ၏။
26 ౨౬ అందుకు మోషే “అలా చేయడం వీలు కాదు. మా దేవుడు యెహోవాకు మేము అర్పించే బలులు ఐగుప్తీయులకు అసహ్యమైనవి. వాళ్లకు అసహ్యమైన బలులు వాళ్ళ కళ్ళ ఎదుటే అర్పిస్తే వాళ్ళు మమ్మల్ని రాళ్లతో కొట్టి చంపరా.
၂၆မောရှေက``အကျွန်ုပ်တို့၏ဘုရားသခင် ထာဝရဘုရားအား ပူဇော်သောယဇ်ကောင် များကိုအီဂျစ်အမျိုးသားတို့ကရွံရှာ ကြမည်ဖြစ်သောကြောင့် ထိုကဲ့သို့မပြုလုပ် သင့်ပါ။ အီဂျစ်အမျိုးသားတို့သည်ယဇ် ကောင်များပူဇော်ခြင်းကိုမြင်လျှင် အကျွန်ုပ် တို့အားခဲနှင့်ပစ်၍သတ်ကြပါလိမ့်မည်။-
27 ౨౭ అందుకేమా దేవుడు యెహోవా మాకు సెలవిచ్చినట్టు మేము ఎడారిలోకి మూడు రోజుల ప్రయాణమంత దూరం వెళ్లి అక్కడ బలులు అర్పిస్తాం” అని చెప్పాడు.
၂၇အကျွန်ုပ်တို့သည်ဘုရားသခင်ထာဝရ ဘုရားမိန့်တော်မူသည့်အတိုင်း တောကန္တာရ သို့သုံးရက်ခရီးသွား၍ယဇ်ပူဇော်ရပါ မည်'' ဟုလျှောက်ဆို၏။
28 ౨౮ ఫరో “మీరు ఎడారిలో మీ దేవుడు యెహోవాకు బలులు అర్పించడానికి మిమ్మల్ని వెళ్ళనిస్తాను. అయితే దూరం వెళ్ళవద్దు. ఇంకా నా కోసం కూడా మీ దేవుణ్ణి వేడుకోండి” అన్నాడు.
၂၈ဖာရောဘုရင်က``သင်တို့၏ဘုရားသခင် ထာဝရဘုရားအား တောကန္တာရ၌ယဇ်ပူ ဇော်ရန်ငါစေလွှတ်မည်။ သို့ရာတွင်ခရီး ဝေးမသွားရ။ ငါ့အတွက်ဆုတောင်းပေး ပါလော့'' ဟုဆိုလေ၏။
29 ౨౯ అందుకు మోషే “నేను నీ దగ్గర నుండి వెళ్లి రేపటి రోజున ఈ ఈగల గుంపులు మీ దగ్గర నుండి, మీ సేవకుల దగ్గర నుండి, నీ ప్రజల దగ్గర నుండి తొలగిపోయేలా యెహోవాను వేడుకొంటాను. అయితే యెహోవాకు బలి అర్పించడానికి ప్రజలను వెళ్ళనీయకుండా ఇకపై మోసం చేయవద్దు” అని చెప్పి
၂၉မောရှေက``နက်ဖြန်နေ့တွင်ကိုယ်တော်နှင့် မှူးမတ်ပြည်သူတို့ထံမှ မှက်ကောင်များကို ဖယ်ရှားပေးရန်ယခုကိုယ်တော်ထံမှထွက် သွားလျှင်သွားချင်း ထာဝရဘုရားထံ၌ ဆုတောင်းပေးပါမည်။ ထာဝရဘုရားကို ယဇ်ပူဇော်ရန်ဣသရေလအမျိုးသားတို့ အား ယခုသွားခွင့်ပြုပြီးမှမသွားရဟု နောက်တစ်ဖန်မလှည့်စားမတားဆီးပါ နှင့်'' ဟုလျှောက်ထားလေ၏။
၃၀ထိုနောက်မောရှေသည်ဘုရင်ထံမှထွက်ခဲ့ ပြီးနောက် ထာဝရဘုရားထံ၌ဆုတောင်း လေ၏။-
31 ౩౧ యెహోవా మోషే కోరినట్టు జరిగించాడు. ఈగల గుంపులు ఫరో దగ్గర నుండి, అతని సేవకుల దగ్గర నుండి, ప్రజల దగ్గర నుండి ఒక్కటి కూడా మిగలకుండా తొలగిపోయాయి.
၃၁ထာဝရဘုရားသည်မောရှေဆုတောင်းသည့် အတိုင်း ဘုရင်နှင့်မှူးမတ်ပြည်သူတို့ထံ၌ မှက်တစ်ကောင်မျှမကျန်စေရန်မှက်အားလုံး ကိုဖယ်ရှားတော်မူ၏။-
၃၂သို့ရာတွင်ဘုရင်သည်ယခုအကြိမ်၌လည်း ခေါင်းမာမြဲခေါင်းမာလျက် ဣသရေလ အမျိုးသားတို့ကိုသွားခွင့်မပြုချေ။
