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 Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Go back to the king and tell him, ‘Yahweh says that you must let my people go, in order that they can worship me [in the desert].
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 punish you by sending frogs to cover your country.
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.
[Not only] will the Nile [River] be full of frogs, [but] the frogs will come up [out of the river] into your palace. They will come into your bedroom and onto your bed. They will be in the houses of your officials and all [the rest of] your people. They will even get into your ovens and your pans for mixing the materials for baking bread.
4 Àwọn ọ̀pọ̀lọ́ yóò gun ara rẹ àti ara àwọn ìjòyè rẹ, àti ara gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn rẹ.’”
The frogs will jump up on you and your officials and [all the rest of] your people.’”
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.’”
Yahweh [also] said to Moses/me, “Say this to Aaron: ‘Hold your stick in your hand and stretch it out [as though you were stretching it] over the river, the canals, and over the pools, and cause frogs to come up [from all this water and] cover 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.
[After Moses/I told that to] Aaron, he stretched out his hand [as though he were stretching it] over all the water in Egypt. And the frogs came up [from the water and] covered 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 men who performed magic did the same thing, and they caused [more] frogs to come up [from the water onto the land].
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.”
Then the king summoned Moses/me and said, “Ask Yahweh to take away these frogs from me and my people. After that happens, I will allow your people to go, in order that they can offer sacrifices to Yahweh.”
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/I said to the king, “I will be glad to pray for you and for your officials and for [the rest of] your people. [I will ask Yahweh] to get rid of the frogs from all your houses. The only frogs left will be [those] in the Nile [River]. Just tell me when I should pray.”
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.
He replied, “Tomorrow.” So Moses/I said, “[I will do] what you say, and then you will know that Yahweh God, the one we [worship, is the only true god], and that there is no other god like him.
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 leave you and your officials and all [the rest of] your people. The only ones left will be in the Nile [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.
Aaron and Moses/I left the king. Then Moses/I prayed to Yahweh, [asking him to take away] all the frogs he had [brought to the king’s land].
13 Olúwa sì ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí Mose tí béèrè. Àwọn ọ̀pọ̀lọ́ sì kú nínú ilé àti ní ìta, gbangba àti nínú oko.
And Yahweh did just what Moses/I [asked him to do]. As a result, all the frogs in the houses, in their courtyards, and in the fields died.
14 Wọ́n sì kó wọn jọ ni òkìtì òkìtì gbogbo ilẹ̀ sì ń rùn.
The people gathered together all the dead frogs into big piles, and the land stank [from the smell].
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.
But when the king saw that [the problem] was ended, he became stubborn [IDM] [again]. And just as Yahweh had predicted, he would not pay attention to what Aaron and Moses/we told him.
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 Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Tell Aaron to strike the ground with his stick. [When he does that], all the fine particles of ground/dust will become gnats, all over 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.
So they/we did that. Aaron struck the ground with his stick, and all over Egypt, the fine particles of ground/dirt became gnats. The gnats covered the people and all [their] animals.
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 men who worked magic tried to cause gnats to appear, but they were unable to do it. So the gnats [stayed] on the Egyptian people and on their animals.
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.
The men who worked magic said to the king, “It is God who has done this with his power [MTY]!” But the king continued to be stubborn [IDM], and he would not pay attention to us, just as Yahweh had predicted.
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 Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Get up early [tomorrow] morning. [Go down] to the river and wait for the king. [When he comes to bathe] [MTY], say to him, ‘This is what Yahweh says to you: “Let my people go, in order that they may worship me [in the desert].
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.
[I warn you that] if you do not let my people go, I will send swarms of flies to you. They will come down on you and on your officials and on [the rest of] your people. The houses of all you Egyptians will be full of flies. They will [even] cover the ground.
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 when that happens, I will treat the Goshen region, where my people live, differently. There will be no swarms of flies there. In that way, you will know that I, Yahweh, am doing these things [here] in this land.
23 Èmi yóò pààlà sáàárín àwọn ènìyàn mi àti àwọn ènìyàn rẹ. Àwọn iṣẹ́ ìyanu yìí yóò ṣẹlẹ̀ ni ọ̀la.’”
I will distinguish clearly between [how I act toward] my people and [how I act toward] your people. And this plague is going to happen 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.
[Early the next morning, Moses/I told that to the king, but the king would not pay any attention]. So Yahweh did what he said he would do. He sent great swarms of flies into the palace of the king and into the houses of his officials. The whole country of Egypt was ruined 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.”
Then the king summoned Aaron and Moses/me and said, “You Israeli people can go and offer sacrifices to your god, [but you must do it] here 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?
But Moses/I replied, “It would not be right [for us] to do that, because we will be offering sacrifices that are very offensive to the Egyptian people. If we offer sacrifices that the Egyptian people think are disgusting, they will kill us by throwing stones at us [RHQ]!
27 A gbọdọ̀ lọ ni ìrìn ọjọ́ mẹ́ta sí inú aginjù láti rú ẹbọ sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti pàṣẹ fún wa.”
No, we need to travel for three days into the desert. There we will offer sacrifices to Yahweh, the God we worship, just as he commands (OR, has commanded) 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.”
So the king said, “I will let your people go to offer sacrifices to Yahweh, your god, in the desert. 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.”
Moses/I said, “Listen [to me]! After I leave you, I will pray to Yahweh, [asking] that tomorrow [he will cause] the swarms of flies to leave you and your officials and [the rest of] your people. But do not deceive us again by refusing to let our people go to offer sacrifices to Yahweh!”
30 Nígbà náà ni Mose kúrò ni ọ̀dọ̀ Farao, ó sì gbàdúrà sí Olúwa;
Then Moses/I left the king and prayed to Yahweh.
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 Yahweh did what Moses/I asked, and he got rid of the swarms of flies from [around] the king and his officials and [the rest of] his people. No flies remained.
32 Ṣùgbọ́n ni àkókò yìí náà, Farao sé ọkàn rẹ le, kò sì jẹ́ kí àwọn ènìyàn ó lọ.
But the king was stubborn [IDM] this time also, and he did not allow the Israeli people to go.
