< Exodus 8 >

1 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.
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis sị, “Jekwuru Fero gwa ya, ‘Nke a bụ ihe Onyenwe anyị kwuru. Hapụ ndị m, ka ha gaa fee m ofufe.
2 But if you are not willing to release them, behold, I will strike all your coasts with frogs.
Ọ bụrụ na ị jụ ịhapụ ha ka ha gaa, aga m eme ka awọ jupụta nʼala Ijipt niile.
3 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.
Osimiri Naịl ga-ejupụta nʼawọ. Ha ga-abata nʼụlọeze gị na nʼime ọnụụlọ ndina gị, ma nʼelu ihe ndina gị, ma nʼụlọ ndị na-ejere gị ozi, ma nʼụlọ ndị gị niile, na nʼebe a na-esi nri, ma nʼime ihe e ji agwakọta ụtụ ọka.
4 And to you, and to your people, and to all your servants, the frogs will enter.’”
Awọ ndị a ga-arịgokwa nʼahụ gị, na nʼahụ ndị gị, na nʼahụ ndị na-ejere gị ozi.’”
5 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.’”
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis sị, “Gwa Erọn, ‘Setịpụ aka gị ya na mkpanaka gị nʼelu osimiri niile, na mmiri nta na ọdọ mmiri ndị Ijipt, mee ka awọ jupụta ala Ijipt niile.’”
6 And Aaron extended his hand over the waters of Egypt, and the frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt.
Erọn setịpụrụ aka nʼelu mmiri niile nke Ijipt, awọ pụtara kpuchie ala ahụ niile.
7 Then the sorcerers also, by their incantations, did similarly, and they brought forth frogs upon the land of Egypt.
Ma ndị majiki Ijipt jikwa ihe nzuzo ha mee ihe ahụ Mosis na Erọn mere. Ha mekwara ka awọ jupụta ala ahụ niile.
8 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.”
Fero kpọrọ Mosis na Erọn rịọọ ha sị, “Rịọọnụ Onyenwe anyị ka o wepụrụ mụ na ndị m awọ ndị a. Emesịa aga m ekwe ka ndị gị gaa chụọrọ Onyenwe anyị aja.”
9 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.”
Mosis zaghachiri Fero sị, “Gị ka ọ dịrị ịgwa m mgbe m ga-arịọ arịrịọ a nʼisi gị na nʼisi ndị gị, ka e wezuga awọ ndị a site nʼụlọ unu, ma hapụ naanị ndị nọ nʼosimiri Naịl.”
10 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.
Mgbe ahụ Fero sịrị Mosis, “Achọrọ m ka i mee ya echi.” Mosis zaghachiri Fero sị, “Ọ dị mma, ka ọ dịrị dịka i kwuru. Mgbe ahụ, ị ga-amata na o nweghị onye dịka Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị.
11 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.”
Awọ ndị a niile ga-apụ site nʼebe ị nọ, na site nʼụlọ gị na site nʼụlọ ndị na-ejere gị ozi na site nʼụlọ ndị Ijipt niile. Ọ bụ naanị nʼosimiri Naịl ka ha ga-anọ.”
12 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.
Mgbe Mosis na Erọn sitere nʼụlọ Fero pụọ, Mosis kpọkuru Onyenwe anyị ka o wepụ awọ ndị a o mere ka ha bịakwasị Fero.
13 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.
Onyenwe anyị mere ihe Mosis rịọrọ. Awọ ndị ahụ niile nwụrụ nʼime ụlọ, na nʼama, na nʼọhịa.
14 And they gathered them together into immense piles, and the land was polluted.
E kpokọtara ozu awọ ndị a niile nʼebe dị iche iche. Isi ọjọọ ha wetara nʼala ahụ dị egwu.
15 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.
Ma mgbe Fero hụrụ na awọ ndị a anwụchaala, o mechiri obi ya jụ ige Mosis na Erọn ntị, dịka Onyenwe anyị kwuru na ọ ga-eme.
16 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.’”
Ya mere, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis sị ya, “Gwa Erọn, setịpụ mkpanaka gị, tie nʼaja nke ala nʼala Ijipt niile, aja ya ga-aghọ anwụ nta nke na-ata ata.”
17 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.
Mosis na Erọn mere nke a. Mgbe Erọn setịpụrụ aka tie mkpanaka ya nʼelu ala, anwụ nta jupụtara nʼala Ijipt niile, nʼahụ ndị mmadụ, na nʼahụ anụmanụ ha. Ndanda ndị a jupụtakwara nʼuzuzu niile dị nʼala ahụ.
18 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.
Ndị Ijipt na-eme majiki gbalịrị iji ihe nzuzo ha mee otu ihe ahụ Erọn mere, ma ha enweghị ike ime ka anwụ nta ọbụla pụta. Ebe ọ bụ na anwụ nta ndị a jupụtara nʼahụ mmadụ na nʼahụ anụmanụ niile.
19 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.
Naanị ihe ndị na-eme majiki gwara Fero bụ, “Nke a bụ akaọrụ Chineke.” Ma Fero mere ka obi ya sie ike. Ọ chọghị ige, ọ bụladị ndị majiki ya ntị, dịka Onyenwe anyị kwuru na ọ ga-eme.
20 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.
Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis sị ya, “Bilie nʼisi ụtụtụ echi jekwuru Fero. Mgbe ọ ga-aga nʼosimiri, gwa ya okwu sị, ‘Nke a bụ ihe Onyenwe anyị kwuru, Hapụ ndị m ka ha gaa fee m ofufe.
21 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.
Ọ bụrụ na ị chọghị ime otu a, aga m eme ka igwe ijiji jupụta nʼala Ijipt niile. Ha ga-ejupụta gị nʼahụ na nʼahụ ndị na-ejere gị ozi, na nʼahụ ndị gị niile, na nʼime ụlọ unu niile.
22 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.
“‘Nʼụbọchị ahụ, igwe ijiji ndị a agaghị emetụ ndị nọ na Goshen ebe ndị m bi. Mgbe ahụ ka ị ga-amata na mụ bụ Onyenwe anyị bịara ije nʼala a.
23 And I will set a division between my people and your people. Tomorrow this sign will be.’”
Aga m emekwa ka ọ pụta ìhè na o nwere ihe dị iche nʼetiti ndị m na ndị gị. Ihe ịrịbama a ga-emezukwa echi.’”
24 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.
Nʼechi ya, Onyenwe anyị mere dịka o kwuru. Igwe ijiji dị egwu nʼọnụọgụgụ bịara nʼala Ijipt, jupụta nʼụlọ Fero, na nʼụlọ ndị niile na-ejere ya ozi, na nʼala Ijipt niile. E mere ka ala Ijipt bụrụ ihe e ji ijiji mebie.
25 And Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron, and he said to them, “Go and sacrifice to your God in this land.”
Mgbe ihe ndị a na-eme, Fero kpọrọ Mosis na Erọn gwa ha okwu sị, “Gaanụ chụọrọ Chineke unu aja, ma ka ọ bụrụ nʼala Ijipt.”
26 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.
Mosis zaghachiri Fero sị, “Nke ahụ abụghị ihe ziri ezi, nʼihi na aja anyị na-aga ịchụrụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị bụ ihe rụrụ arụ nʼanya ndị Ijipt. Ọ bụrụ na anyị achụọ aja a nʼihu ha, ha ga-eji nkume tugbuo anyị.
27 We will sojourn three days’ journey into the wilderness. And we will sacrifice to the Lord our God, just as he has instructed us.”
Anyị ga-aga njem ụbọchị atọ nʼime ọzara gaa chụọrọ Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị aja, dịka o nyere anyị iwu ka anyị mee.”
28 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.”
Fero zaghachiri ha sị, “Aga m ekwenye ka unu ga chụọrọ Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu aja nʼọzara, ma unu agaghị aga ebe dị anya. Ugbu a, kperenụ m ekpere.”
29 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.”
Mosis zara Fero sị ya, “Ngwangwa m si nʼihu gị pụọ, aga m arịọ Onyenwe anyị arịrịọ. Echi, a ga-esite nʼụlọ Fero, na nʼụlọ ndị na-ejere ya ozi, na nʼụlọ ndị Ijipt niile wezuga ijiji ndị a. Ọ ga-adị mkpa na Fero ga-elezi anya hapụ ịghọ aghụghọ ọzọ site ịjụ ka ụmụ Izrel gaa chụọrọ Onyenwe anyị aja.”
30 And Moses, departing from Pharaoh, prayed to the Lord.
Mgbe ahụ, Mosis sitere nʼihu Fero pụọ rịọọ Onyenwe anyị ka o mee ka ijiji ndị a gabiga.
31 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.
Onyenwe anyị mere dịka Mosis rịọrọ. Ijiji ndị a sitere nʼụlọ Fero na ụlọ ndị na-ejere ya ozi na ụlọ ndị Ijipt niile pụọ. O nwekwaghị ijiji ọ bụla fọdụrụ nʼala ahụ.
32 And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, so that, even at this turn, he would not release the people.
Ma nʼoge a, Fero gara nʼihu ime ka obi ya sie ike. O kweghị ka ụmụ Izrel laa.
