< Exodus 8 >
1 Nígbà náà ni Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé, “Padà tọ Farao lọ kí ó sì sọ fún un pé, ‘Èyí ni Olúwa wí: Jẹ́ kí àwọn ènìyàn mi kí ó lọ, kí wọn ó bá à lè sìn mi.
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh and tell him that this is what the LORD says: ‘Let My people go, so that they may worship Me.
2 Bí ìwọ bá kọ̀ láti jẹ́ kí wọn ó lọ, èmi yóò fi ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ àwọn ọ̀pọ̀lọ́ kọlu gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè rẹ.
But if you refuse to let them go, I will plague your whole country with frogs.
3 Odò Naili yóò kún fún ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ àwọn ọ̀pọ̀lọ́. Wọn yóò gòkè wá sí ààfin rẹ, àti yàrá rẹ ni orí ibùsùn rẹ. Wọn yóò gòkè wá sí ilé àwọn ìjòyè rẹ àti sí ara àwọn ènìyàn rẹ, àti sí ibi ìdáná rẹ, àti sí inú ìkòkò ìyẹ̀fun rẹ.
The Nile will teem with frogs, and they will come into your palace and up to your bedroom and onto your bed, into the houses of your officials and your people, and into your ovens and kneading bowls.
4 Àwọn ọ̀pọ̀lọ́ yóò gun ara rẹ àti ara àwọn ìjòyè rẹ, àti ara gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn rẹ.’”
The frogs will come up on you and your people and all your officials.’”
5 Ní ìgbà náà ni Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé, “Sọ fún Aaroni, ‘Kí ó na ọwọ́ rẹ̀ jáde pẹ̀lú ọ̀pá sí orí àwọn odò kéékèèké àti odò ńlá, àti sí orí àwọn àbàtà kí ó sì mú àwọn ọ̀pọ̀lọ́ gòkè wá sí ilẹ̀ Ejibiti.’”
And the LORD said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Stretch out your hand with your staff over the rivers and canals and ponds, and cause the frogs to come up onto the land of Egypt.’”
6 Ní ìgbà náà ni Aaroni sì na ọwọ́ rẹ̀ jáde sí orí àwọn omi Ejibiti, àwọn ọ̀pọ̀lọ́ sì wá, wọ́n sì bo gbogbo ilẹ̀.
So Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt, and the frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt.
7 Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn onídán ilẹ̀ Ejibiti ṣe bákan náà pẹ̀lú agbára òkùnkùn wọn. Àwọn náà mú kí ọ̀pọ̀lọ́ gún wá sí orí ilẹ̀ Ejibiti.
But the magicians did the same thing by their magic arts, and they also brought frogs up onto the land of Egypt.
8 Farao ránṣẹ́ pe Mose àti Aaroni, ó sì sọ fún wọn pé, “Gbàdúrà sí Olúwa kí ó mú àwọn ọ̀pọ̀lọ́ wọ̀nyí kúrò lọ́dọ̀ mi àti lára àwọn ènìyàn mi, Èmi yóò sì jẹ́ kí àwọn ènìyàn rẹ kí ó lọ láti rú ẹbọ sí Olúwa.”
Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “Pray to the LORD to take the frogs away from me and my people. Then I will let your people go, that they may sacrifice to the LORD.”
9 Mose sọ fún Farao pé, “Jọ̀wọ́ sọ fún mi ìgbà ti èmi yóò gbàdúrà fún ọ àti àwọn ìjòyè rẹ àti fún àwọn ènìyàn rẹ, kí àwọn ọ̀pọ̀lọ́ wọ̀nyí bá lè lọ lọ́dọ̀ rẹ àti ní àwọn ilé yín tí wọn yóò sì wà nínú odò Naili nìkan.”
Moses said to Pharaoh, “You may have the honor over me. When shall I pray for you and your officials and your people that the frogs (except for those in the Nile) may be taken away from you and your houses?”
10 Farao wí pé, “Ni ọ̀la.” Mose sì dáhùn pé, “Yóò sì rí bí ìwọ ti sọ, kí ìwọ kí ó lè mọ̀ pé kò sí ẹni bí Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa.
“Tomorrow,” Pharaoh answered. “May it be as you say,” Moses replied, “so that you may know that there is no one like the LORD our God.
11 Àwọn ọ̀pọ̀lọ́ yóò fi ìwọ àti àwọn ilé yín àti ìjòyè rẹ, àti àwọn ènìyàn rẹ sílẹ̀, wọn yóò sì wà nínú Naili nìkan.”
The frogs will depart from you and your houses and your officials and your people; they will remain only in the Nile.”
12 Lẹ́yìn tí Mose àti Aaroni tí kúrò ní iwájú Farao, Mose gbé ohùn ẹ̀bẹ̀ rẹ̀ sókè sí Olúwa nípa àwọn ọ̀pọ̀lọ́ tí ó ti rán sí Farao.
After Moses and Aaron had left Pharaoh, Moses cried out to the LORD for help with the frogs that He had brought against Pharaoh.
13 Olúwa sì ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí Mose tí béèrè. Àwọn ọ̀pọ̀lọ́ sì kú nínú ilé àti ní ìta, gbangba àti nínú oko.
And the LORD did as Moses requested, and the frogs in the houses, the courtyards, and the fields died.
14 Wọ́n sì kó wọn jọ ni òkìtì òkìtì gbogbo ilẹ̀ sì ń rùn.
They were piled into countless heaps, and there was a terrible stench in the land.
15 Ṣùgbọ́n ni ìgbà tí Farao rí pé ìtura dé, ó sé ọkàn rẹ̀ le kò sì fetí sí Mose àti Aaroni gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti wí.
When Pharaoh saw that there was relief, however, he hardened his heart and would not listen to Moses and Aaron, just as the LORD had said.
16 Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé, “Sọ fún Aaroni, ‘Na ọ̀pá rẹ jáde kí ó sì lu eruku ilẹ̀,’ jákèjádò gbogbo ilẹ̀ Ejibiti ni erùpẹ̀ ilẹ̀ yóò ti di kòkòrò-kantíkantí.” (Kòkòrò kan tí ó ní ìyẹ́ méjì tí ó ṣì ń ta ni.)
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Stretch out your staff and strike the dust of the earth, that it may turn into swarms of gnats throughout the land of Egypt.’”
17 Wọ́n sì ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀, nígbà tí Aaroni na ọwọ́ rẹ́ jáde pẹ̀lú ọ̀pá ní ọwọ́ rẹ̀, tí ó sì lu eruku ilẹ̀, kòkòrò-kantíkantí sì wà lára àwọn ènìyàn àti àwọn ẹranko wọn. Gbogbo eruku jákèjádò ilẹ̀ Ejibiti ni ó di kòkòrò-kantíkantí.
This they did, and when Aaron stretched out his hand with his staff and struck the dust of the earth, gnats came upon man and beast. All the dust of the earth turned into gnats throughout the land of Egypt.
18 Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí àwọn onídán gbìdánwò láti da kòkòrò-kantíkantí pẹ̀lú agbára òkùnkùn wọn, wọn kò le è ṣé. Nígbà tí kòkòrò-kantíkantí sì wà lára àwọn ẹranko wọn,
The magicians tried to produce gnats using their magic arts, but they could not. And the gnats remained on man and beast.
19 àwọn onídán sì sọ fún Farao pé, “Ìka Ọlọ́run ni èyí.” Ṣùgbọ́n àyà Farao sì yigbì, kò sì fetísílẹ̀, gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti sọ.
“This is the finger of God,” the magicians said to Pharaoh. But Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he would not listen to them, just as the LORD had said.
20 Nígbà náà ni Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé, “Lọ ní òwúrọ̀ kùtùkùtù kí o sì ko Farao lójú bí ó ṣe ń lọ sí odò, kí o sì sọ fún un pé, ‘Èyí ni Olúwa sọ: Jẹ́ kí àwọn ènìyàn mi kí ó lọ, kí wọn kí ó bá à lè sìn Mi.
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Get up early in the morning, and when Pharaoh goes out to the water, stand before him and tell him that this is what the LORD says: ‘Let My people go, so that they may worship Me.
21 Bí ìwọ kò bá jẹ́ kí àwọn ènìyàn Mi kí ó lọ, èmi yóò rán ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ eṣinṣin sí ara rẹ àti sí ara àwọn ìjòyè rẹ, àti sí ara àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀, sí àwọn ilẹ̀ rẹ̀. Gbogbo ilé àwọn ará Ejibiti ni yóò kún fún eṣinṣin àti orí ilẹ̀ tí wọ́n wà pẹ̀lú.
But if you will not let My people go, I will send swarms of flies upon you and your officials and your people and your houses. The houses of the Egyptians and even the ground where they stand will be full of flies.
22 “‘Ṣùgbọ́n ni ọjọ́ náà, Èmi yóò ya ilẹ̀ Goṣeni sọ́tọ̀, níbi tí àwọn ènìyàn mi ń gbé, ọ̀wọ́ eṣinṣin kankan ki yóò dé ibẹ̀. Kí ìwọ kí ó lè mọ̀ pé, Èmi ni Olúwa, mo wà ni ilẹ̀ yìí.
But on that day I will give special treatment to the land of Goshen, where My people live; no swarms of flies will be found there. In this way you will know that I, the LORD, am in the land.
23 Èmi yóò pààlà sáàárín àwọn ènìyàn mi àti àwọn ènìyàn rẹ. Àwọn iṣẹ́ ìyanu yìí yóò ṣẹlẹ̀ ni ọ̀la.’”
I will make a distinction between My people and your people. This sign will take place tomorrow.’”
24 Olúwa sì ṣe èyí. Ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ eṣinṣin sì ya wọ ààfin Farao àti sí ilé àwọn ìjòyè rẹ̀. Gbogbo ilẹ̀ Ejibiti bàjẹ́ pẹ̀lú ọ̀wọ́ eṣinṣin wọ̀n-ọn-nì.
And the LORD did so. Thick swarms of flies poured into Pharaoh’s palace and into the houses of his officials. Throughout Egypt the land was ruined by swarms of flies.
25 Nígbà náà ni Farao ránṣẹ́ pe Mose àti Aaroni, ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ máa lọ kí ẹ sì rú ẹbọ sí Ọlọ́run yín ní ilẹ̀ yìí.”
Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “Go, sacrifice to your God within this land.”
26 Ṣùgbọ́n Mose sọ pé, “Èyí ló tọ́, ẹbọ tí a ó rú sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa yóò jẹ́ ohun ìríra sí àwọn ará ilẹ̀ Ejibiti. Bí a bá ṣe ìrúbọ ti yóò jẹ́ ìríra ni ojú wọn ṣé wọn, ó ní sọ òkúta lù wá?
But Moses replied, “It would not be right to do that, because the sacrifices we offer to the LORD our God would be detestable to the Egyptians. If we offer sacrifices that are detestable before the Egyptians, will they not stone us?
27 A gbọdọ̀ lọ ni ìrìn ọjọ́ mẹ́ta sí inú aginjù láti rú ẹbọ sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti pàṣẹ fún wa.”
We must make a three-day journey into the wilderness and sacrifice to the LORD our God as He commands us.”
28 Nígbà náà ni Farao wí pé, “Èmi yóò jẹ́ ki ẹ lọ rú ẹbọ sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín nínú aginjù, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ kò gbọdọ̀ rìn jìnnà jù. Ẹ gbàdúrà fún mi.”
Pharaoh answered, “I will let you go and sacrifice to the LORD your God in the wilderness, but you must not go very far. Now pray for me.”
29 Mose dáhùn ó wí pé, “Bí èmi bá ti kúrò ní ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ, èmi yóò gbàdúrà sí Olúwa, àwọn ọ̀wọ́ eṣinṣin yóò fi Farao, àwọn ìjòyè rẹ, àti àwọn ènìyàn rẹ sílẹ̀ ní ọ̀la ṣùgbọ́n ǹjẹ́ ìdánilójú wa pé Farao kò tún ni lo ẹ̀tàn láti má jẹ́ kí àwọn ènìyàn kí ó lọ rú ẹbọ sí Olúwa.”
“As soon as I leave you,” Moses said, “I will pray to the LORD, so that tomorrow the swarms of flies will depart from Pharaoh and his officials and his people. But Pharaoh must not act deceitfully again by refusing to let the people go and sacrifice to the LORD.”
30 Nígbà náà ni Mose kúrò ni ọ̀dọ̀ Farao, ó sì gbàdúrà sí Olúwa;
Then Moses left Pharaoh and prayed to the LORD,
31 Olúwa sì ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí Mose ti béèrè. Àwọn ọ̀wọ́ eṣinṣin kúrò lára Farao àti àwọn ìjòyè rẹ̀ àti lára àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú, eṣinṣin kan kò sì ṣẹ́kù.
and the LORD did as Moses requested. He removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh and his officials and his people; not one fly remained.
32 Ṣùgbọ́n ni àkókò yìí náà, Farao sé ọkàn rẹ le, kò sì jẹ́ kí àwọn ènìyàn ó lọ.
But Pharaoh hardened his heart this time as well, and he would not let the people go.
