< Exodus 8 >

1 Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, —then shalt thou say unto him—Thus, saith Yahweh, —Let my people go, that they may serve me.
Apre sa, Seyè a di Moyiz konsa: -Ale kote farawon an. W'a di l': Men sa Seyè a di: Kite pèp mwen an ale pou l' kapab fè sèvis pou mwen.
2 But if thou art, refusing, to let them go, lo! I, am plaguing all thy boundaries with frogs;
Koute byen. Si ou derefize kite yo ale, mwen pral lage krapo sou tout peyi a pou pini ou.
3 so shall the river swarm with frogs, and they shall come up, and enter into thy house, and into thy bedchamber and upon thy couch, —and into the house of thy servants and among thy people, and into thine ovens and into thy kneading-troughs:
Gwo larivyè a pral plen krapo. Yo pral soti nan larivyè a, y'ap anvayi toupatou, y'ap antre lakay ou, anndan chanm ou, y'ap moute jouk nan kabann ou. Y'ap antre lakay moun pa ou yo, lakay tout pèp ou a, nan fou kote yo fè pen, nan ganmèl kote yo pare pat.
4 both against thee, and against thy people, and against all thy servants, shall come up the frogs.
Y'ap vole sou ou, sou pèp ou a, sou tout moun pa ou yo.
5 Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Say unto Aaron—Stretch forth thy hand with thy staff, over the streams over the rivers and over the pools, —and bring up the frogs, over the land of Egypt.
Seyè a di Moyiz: -Di Arawon lonje men li avèk baton l' lan sou larivyè yo, sou kannal yo ak sou m'a dlo yo. Fè krapo moute kouvri peyi Lejip la.
6 So Aaron stretched forth his hand, over the waters of Egypt, —and the frog came up, and covered the land of Egypt.
Arawon lonje men l' sou tout dlo nan peyi Lejip la. Epi krapo moute kouvri tout peyi a.
7 And the sacred scribes did in like manner, with their secret arts, —and brought up frogs over the land of Egypt.
Men majisyen peyi Lejip yo, avèk maji yo, te rive fè menm bagay la tou. Yo fè krapo moute vin sou peyi Lejip la.
8 Then called Pharaoh for Moses and for Aaron and said—Make entreaty unto Yahweh, that he take away the frogs from me and from my people, —and I must let the people go that they may sacrifice to Yahweh.
Farawon an rele Moyiz ak Arawon, li di yo: -Lapriyè Seyè a, mande l' pou l' chase krapo sa yo soti sou mwen ak sou pèp mwen an. Apre sa, m'a kite pèp ou a ale pou yo ka touye bèt y'ap ofri bay Seyè a.
9 And Moses said to Pharaoh—Explain thyself unto me: For what time, shall I make entreaty for thee and for thy servants and for thy people, to cause the frogs to be cut off, from thee and from thy houses, —only in the river, shall they remain?
Lè sa a Moyiz di farawon an: -Se ou menm, farawon, ki konnen kilè ou vle pou m' lapriyè Seyè a pou ou, pou moun pa ou yo ansanm ak pèp ou a. Wi, se ou ki pou di m' kilè ou vle pou Seyè a wete krapo sa yo lakay ou ak nan kay pèp ou a, pou yo rete nan larivyè a ase.
10 And he said—For to-morrow. And he said—According to thy word! that thou mayest know that there is none like Yahweh, our God:
Farawon an reponn: -W'a fè sa denmen. Moyiz di li: -Sa va pase jan ou di l' la, pou ou sa konnen pa gen Bondye tankou Seyè a, Bondye nou an.
11 so the frogs shall depart—from thee and from thy houses and from thy servants and from thy people, —only in the river, shall they remain.
Krapo yo pral soti lakay ou, y'a wete kò yo sou ou, sou moun pa ou yo ak sou pèp ou a. Se nan gwo larivyè a ase va gen krapo.
12 Then went forth Moses and Aaron from Pharaoh, —and Moses made outcry unto Yahweh, over the matter of the frogs which he had appointed for Pharaoh.
Moyiz ak Arawon soti lakay farawon an. Moyiz lapriyè Seyè a ak tout kè l' pou krapo li te voye sou farawon yo.
13 And Yahweh did according to the word of Moses, —and the frogs died, out of the houses and out of the yards, and out of the fields;
Seyè a fè sa Moyiz te mande l' la: krapo yo mouri toupatou, nan kay, nan lakou, nan jaden.
14 and they piled them up, heaps—heaps, —and the land became loathsome.
Moun peyi Lejip yo ranmase yo fè gwo pil. Toupatou nan peyi a te santi move ak krapo mouri yo.
15 But when Pharaoh saw that there had come a respite, then made he his heart dull and hearkened not unto them, —as spake Yahweh.
Lè farawon an wè yo te ba l' yon souf, li konmanse fè tèt di ankò. Li pa koute Moyiz ak Arawon, tankou Seyè a te di a.
16 Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Say unto Aaron—Stretch forth thy staff, and smite the dust of the land, —so shall it become gnats in all the land of Egypt.
Seyè a di Moyiz konsa: -Di Arawon lonje baton l' lan, frape pousyè tè a. Pousyè a va tounen vèmin nan tout peyi Lejip la.
17 And they did so, and Aaron stretched forth his hand with his staff and smote the dust of the land, and there canto to be gnats, among men and among beasts, —all the dust of the land, became gnats, in all the land of Egypt.
Moyiz ak Arawon fè sa vre. Arawon lonje men li avèk baton an, li frape pousyè tè a. Pousyè a tounen vèmin sou tout moun ak sou tout bèt. Tout pousyè tè a tounen vèmin nan tout peyi Lejip la.
18 And the sacred scribes did in like manner with their secret arts, to bring forth the gnats, but they could not. So there came to be gnats, among men and among beasts.
Majisyen yo vin ankò ak maji yo pou yo te fè menm bagay la tou. Men, fwa sa a, yo pa t' kapab. vèmin yo te sou tout moun ak sou tout bèt.
19 Then said the sacred scribes unto Pharaoh, The finger of God, it is! But the heart of Pharaoh waxed bold and he hearkened not unto them, as spake Yahweh.
Majisyen yo di farawon an: -Sa se travay Bondye. Men farawon an t'ap fè tèt di toujou. Li pa t' vle koute Moyiz ak Arawon, tankou Seyè a te di a.
20 Then said Yahweh unto Moses—Rise thou early in the morning, and station thyself before Pharaoh, lo! he is coming forth to the waters, —then shalt thou say unto him—Thus, saith Yahweh: Let my people go, that they may serve me.
Seyè a di Moyiz ankò: -Leve granmaten, ale jwenn farawon an lè li pral larivyè a. W'a di l': men sa Seyè a di: Kite pèp mwen an ale, pou yo ka fè sèvis pou mwen.
21 But if thou art not letting my people go, behold me! sending forth—against thee, and against thy servants, and against thy people, and against thy houses the gad-fly, —and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of the gad-fly, moreover also the ground whereon, they are:
Si ou pa kite pèp mwen an ale, mwen pral voye mouchavè sou ou, sou moun pa ou yo, sou tout pèp ou a ak nan tout kay yo. Mouchavè pral plen kay moun peyi Lejip yo, yo pral kouvri tout peyi a.
22 then will I make to differ on that day, the land of Goshen wherein my people do dwell, so that there shall not be there a gad-fly! in order that thou mayest know, that I, Yahweh, am in the midst of the land;
Men jou sa a, m'a fè yon bagay pou peyi Gochenn kote pèp mwen an rete a. p'ap gen yon mouchavè la. Konsa, w'a konnen se mwen menm, Seyè a, k'ap travay nan peyi a.
23 so will I put a separation betwixt my people and thy people. By to-morrow, shall come to pass this sign.
m'a veye pou sa k'ap rive pèp ou a pa rive pèp mwen an. Se denmen mwen pral fè mèvèy sa a.
24 And Yahweh did so, and brought a grievous gad-fly unto the house of Pharaoh and the houses of his servants and in all the land of Egypt, and the land was laid waste by reason of the gad-fly.
Seyè a fè sa vre jan l' te di l' la: yon kantite mouchavè desann sou kay farawon an, sou kay moun pa l' yo ak sou tout peyi a. Mouchavè t'ap devaste tout peyi Lejip la.
25 Then did Pharaoh cry out—unto Moses and to Aaron, —and said-Go your way, sacrifice to your God, in the land.
Lè sa a, farawon an fè rele Moyiz ak Arawon, li di yo: -Nou mèt al ofri bèt pou touye pou Bondye nou an, men n'ap fè l' isit la nan peyi a.
26 And Moses said: Not meet, is it, to do thus, for, an abomination to the Egyptians, we should sacrifice to Yahweh our God. Lo! could we sacrifice that which is an abomination to the Egyptians before their eyes and they not stone us?
Moyiz reponn li: -Li p'ap bon pou nou fè l' konsa, paske moun peyi Lejip yo ka ofiske lè y'a wè ki kalite bèt nou touye pou ofri bay Seyè a, Bondye nou an. Si nou ofri bagay sa yo devan moun peyi Lejip yo, y'a ka touye nou ak kout ròch.
27 A journey of three days, must we go, in the desert, —then will we sacrifice to Yahweh our God, as, Yahweh, hath said unto us.
Se pou nou mache twa jou nan dezè a. Se la n'a touye bèt n'ap ofri bay Seyè a, Bondye nou an, jan li te di nou an.
28 Then said Pharaoh: I, will let you go—so shall ye sacrifice to Yahweh your God in the desert, only ye shall not go a, very long, journey, —make ye entreaty for me.
Farawon an di li: -Bon! M'ap kite nou al touye bèt n'ap ofri bay Seyè a, Bondye nou an, nan dezè a, men se pa pou nou al twò lwen. Lèfini, lapriyè pou mwen tou.
29 And Moses said: Lo! I, am going out from thee and will make entreaty unto Yahweh, so will he take away the gad-fly—from Pharaoh from his servants, and from his people tomorrow, —only let not Pharaoh again deceive, in not letting the people go, to sacrifice to Yahweh.
Moyiz di l' konsa: -Kou m' soti isit la, mwen pral lapriyè Seyè a. Denmen mouchavè yo ap soti sou ou ansanm ak sou moun pa ou yo ak sou tout pèp la. Yo pral byen lwen. Men, piga ou twonpe nou ankò. Pa refize kite pèp la al ofri bèt pou yo touye bay Seyè a.
30 So Moses went out from Pharaoh, —and made entreaty unto Yahweh.
Moyiz soti lakay farawon an, l' al lapriyè Seyè a.
31 And Yahweh did according to the word of Moses, and took away the gad-fly, from Pharaoh from his servants and from his people, —there remained not, one.
Seyè a fè sa Moyiz te mande l' la. Li fè mouchavè yo soti sou farawon an, sou tout moun pa l' yo ansanm ak sou tout pèp la. Li fè yo ale byen lwen. Pa yon mouchavè pa t' rete.
32 And Pharaoh made his heart dull, this time also, —and did not let the people go.
Men, menm jou sa a, farawon an fè tèt di ankò, li pa t' vle kite pèp la ale.
