< 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.
The Lord also said to Moses: “Enter to Pharaoh, and you will say to him: ‘Thus says the Lord: Release my people in order to sacrifice to 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 are not willing to release them, behold, I will strike all your coasts 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.
And the river will seethe with frogs, which will go up and enter into your house, and your bedroom, and upon your bed, and into the houses of your servants and your people, and into your ovens, and into the remains of your foods.
4 Àwọn ọ̀pọ̀lọ́ yóò gun ara rẹ àti ara àwọn ìjòyè rẹ, àti ara gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn rẹ.’”
And to you, and to your people, and to all your servants, the frogs will enter.’”
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: “Say to Aaron: ‘Extend your hand over the rivers, and also over the streams and the marshes, and bring forth frogs over 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.
And Aaron extended 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.
Then the sorcerers also, by their incantations, did similarly, and they brought forth frogs upon 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.”
But Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron, and he said to them: “Pray to the Lord, so as to take away the frogs from me and from my people. And I will release the people, so as to 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.”
And Moses said to Pharaoh: “Appoint for me a time, when I should petition on behalf of you, and your servants, and your people, so that the frogs may be driven away from you, and from your house, and from your servants, and from your people, and so that they may remain only in the river.”
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.
And he responded, “Tomorrow.” Then he said, “I will act according to your word, 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.”
And the frogs will withdraw from you, and from your house, and from your servants, and from your people. And they will remain only in the river.”
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.
And Moses and Aaron departed from Pharaoh. And Moses cried out to the Lord on behalf of the promise that he had made to Pharaoh concerning the frogs.
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 acted according to the word of Moses. And the frogs died out of the houses, and out of the villages, and out of the fields.
14 Wọ́n sì kó wọn jọ ni òkìtì òkìtì gbogbo ilẹ̀ sì ń rùn.
And they gathered them together into immense piles, and the land was polluted.
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.
Then Pharaoh, seeing that relief had been provided, hardened his own heart, and he did not listen to them, just as the Lord had instructed.
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.)
And the Lord said to Moses: “Say to Aaron: ‘Extend your staff and strike the dust of the earth. And let there be stinging insects throughout the entire 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.
And they did so. And Aaron extended his hand, holding the staff, and he struck the dust of the earth, and there came stinging insects upon men and upon beasts. All the dust of the earth was turned into stinging insects through all 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,
And the sorcerers, with their incantations, did similarly, in order to bring forth stinging insects, but they were not able. And there were stinging insects, as much on men as on beasts.
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.
And the sorcerers said to Pharaoh: “This is the finger of God.” And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not listen to them, just as the Lord had instructed.
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.
The Lord also said to Moses: “Arise at first light, and stand in the sight of Pharaoh, for he will go out to the waters. And you will say to him: ‘Thus says the Lord: Release my people to sacrifice to 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 release them, behold, I will send upon you, and upon your servants, and upon your people, and into your houses, diverse kinds of flies. And the houses of the Egyptians will be filled with diverse kinds of flies, as well as the whole land in which they will be.
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.
And in that day, I will cause a miracle in the land of Goshen, where my people are, so that flies will not be there. And you will know that I am the Lord in the midst of the earth.
23 Èmi yóò pààlà sáàárín àwọn ènìyàn mi àti àwọn ènìyàn rẹ. Àwọn iṣẹ́ ìyanu yìí yóò ṣẹlẹ̀ ni ọ̀la.’”
And I will set a division between my people and your people. Tomorrow this sign will be.’”
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. And there came very grievous flies into the houses of Pharaoh and of his servants, and into all the land of Egypt. And the land was polluted, in this way, by the 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.”
And Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron, and he said to them, “Go and sacrifice to your God in 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?
And Moses said: “It cannot be so. For we will immolate the abominations of the Egyptians to the Lord our God. For if we slaughter those things which the Egyptians worship, in their presence, they will 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 will sojourn three days’ journey into the wilderness. And we will sacrifice to the Lord our God, just as he has instructed 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.”
And Pharaoh said: “I will release you in order to sacrifice to the Lord your God in the desert. Yet you may only go so far. Petition 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.”
And Moses said: “After departing from you, I will pray to the Lord. And the flies will withdraw from Pharaoh, and from his servants, and from his people, tomorrow. Yet do not be willing to deceive any longer, so that you would not release the people to sacrifice to the Lord.”
30 Nígbà náà ni Mose kúrò ni ọ̀dọ̀ Farao, ó sì gbàdúrà sí Olúwa;
And Moses, departing from Pharaoh, 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 he acted according to his word. And he took away the flies from Pharaoh, and from his servants, and from his people. There was not even one left behind.
32 Ṣùgbọ́n ni àkókò yìí náà, Farao sé ọkàn rẹ le, kò sì jẹ́ kí àwọn ènìyàn ó lọ.
And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, so that, even at this turn, he would not release the people.
