1 Then the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
Ndipo Bwana akamwambia Musa, Ingia wewe kwa Farao, umwambie, Bwana, Mungu wa Waebrania, yuasema, Wape ruhusa watu wangu ili waende wanitumikie.
2 For if thou refuse to let them go, and wilt hold them still,
Kwani ukikataa kuwapa ruhusa waende, na kuzidi kuwazuia,
3 behold, the hand of the LORD is upon thy cattle which is in the field, upon the horses, upon the asses, upon the camels, upon the oxen, and upon the sheep: there shall be a very grievous murrain.
tazama, mkono wa Bwana u juu ya wanyama wako wa mifugo walioko kondeni, juu ya farasi, na juu ya punda, na juu ya ngamia, na juu ya ng'ombe, na juu ya kondoo; kutakuwa na tauni nzito sana.
4 And the LORD shall sever between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt: and there shall nothing die of all that is the children's of Israel.
Kisha Bwana atawatenga wanyama wa Israeli na wanyama wa Misri; wala hakitakufa kitu cho chote cha wana wa Israeli.
5 And the LORD appointed a set time, saying, To morrow the LORD shall do this thing in the land.
Naye Bwana akaweka muda, akasema, Kesho Bwana atalifanya jambo hili katika nchi.
6 And the LORD did that thing on the morrow, and all the cattle of Egypt died: but of the cattle of the children of Israel died not one.
Bwana akalifanya jambo hilo siku ya pili, na wanyama wote wa kufugwa wa Misri wakafa; lakini katika wanyama wa wana wa Israeli hakufa hata mmoja.
7 And Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there was not one of the cattle of the Israelites dead. And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the people go.
Farao akatuma watu, na tazama, hapana mmoja aliyekufa katika wanyama wa wana wa Israeli. Lakini moyo wa Farao ulikuwa mzito, wala hakuwapa hao watu ruhusa waende zao.
8 And the LORD said unto Moses and unto Aaron, Take to you handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it toward the heaven in the sight of Pharaoh.
Bwana akawaambia Musa na Haruni, Jitwalieni konzi za majivu ya tanuuni, kisha Musa na ayarushe juu kuelekea mbinguni mbele ya Farao.
9 And it shall become small dust in all the land of Egypt, and shall be a boil breaking forth with blains upon man, and upon beast, throughout all the land of Egypt.
Nayo yatakuwa ni mavumbi membamba juu ya nchi yote ya Misri, nayo yatakuwa majipu yenye kufura na kutumbuka juu ya wanadamu na juu ya wanyama, katika nchi yote ya Misri.
10 And they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it up toward heaven; and it became a boil breaking forth with blains upon man, and upon beast.
Basi wakatwaa majivu ya tanuuni, na kusimama mbele ya Farao; na Musa akayarusha juu mbinguni nayo yakawa ni majipu yenye kufura na kutumbuka juu ya wanadamu na juu ya wanyama.
11 And the magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boil was upon the magicians, and upon all the Egyptians.
Nao wale waganga hawakuweza kusimama mbele ya Musa kwa sababu ya hayo majipu, kwa maana hao waganga walikuwa na majipu, na Wamisri wote walikuwa nayo.
12 And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had spoken unto Moses.
Bwana akaufanya mgumu moyo wa Farao, asiwasikize; vile vile kama Bwana alivyomwambia Musa.
13 And the LORD said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
Bwana akamwambia Musa, Ondoka asubuhi na mapema, ukasimame mbele ya Farao, umwambie, Bwana, Mungu wa Waebrania, asema, Wape watu wangu ruhusa waende ili wanitumikie.
14 For I will at this time send all my plagues upon thine heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people; that thou mayest know that there is none like me in all the earth.
Kwani wakati huu nitaleta mapigo yangu yote juu ya moyo wako, na juu ya watumishi wako, na juu ya watu wako; ili upate kujua ya kuwa hapana mmoja mfano wa mimi ulimwenguni mwote.
15 For now I will stretch out my hand, that I may smite thee and thy people with pestilence; and thou shalt be cut off from the earth.
Kwa kuwa wakati huu ningekwisha kuunyosha mkono wangu, na kukupiga wewe na watu wako, kwa tauni, nawe ungekatiliwa mbali na kuondolewa katika nchi;
16 And in very deed for this cause have I raised thee up, for to shew in thee my power; and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth.
lakini, nilikusimamisha wewe kwa sababu hii hii, ili nikuonyeshe uweza wangu, tena kwamba jina langu litangazwe katika dunia yote.
17 As yet exaltest thou thyself against my people, that thou wilt not let them go?
Nawe, je! Hata sasa wajitukuza juu ya watu wangu, usiwape ruhusa waende zao?
18 Behold, to morrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as hath not been in Egypt since the foundation thereof even until now.
Tazama, kesho wakati kama huu, nitanyesha mvua ya mawe nzito sana, ambayo mfano wake haujakuwa huko Misri tangu siku ile ilipoanza kuwa hata hivi sasa.
19 Send therefore now, and gather thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field; for upon every man and beast which shall be found in the field, and shall not be brought home, the hail shall come down upon them, and they shall die.
Basi sasa tuma wahimize waingie ndani wanyama wako na hayo yote uliyo nayo mashambani; kwani kila mtu na kila mnyama apatikanaye mashambani, wasioletwa nyumbani, hiyo mvua ya mawe itanyesha juu yao, nao watakufa.
20 He that feared the word of the LORD among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses:
Yeye aliyelicha neno la Bwana miongoni mwa watumishi wa Farao aliwakimbiza watumishi wake na wanyama wake waingie nyumbani;
21 and he that regarded not the word of the LORD left his servants and his cattle in the field.
na yeye asiyelitia moyoni neno la Bwana akawaacha watumishi wake na wanyama wake mashambani.
22 And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch forth thine hand toward heaven, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, upon man, and upon beast, and upon every herb of the field, throughout the land of Egypt.
Bwana akamwambia Musa, Nyosha mkono wako kuelekea mbinguni, ili iwe mvua ya mawe katika nchi yote ya Misri, juu ya wanadamu na juu ya wanyama, na juu ya mboga zote za mashamba, katika nchi yote ya Misri.
23 And Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven: and the LORD sent thunder and hail, and the fire ran along upon the ground; and the LORD rained hail upon the land of Egypt.
Musa akaunyosha mkono wake kuelekea mbinguni; na Bwana akaleta ngurumo na mvua ya mawe, na moto ukashuka juu ya nchi; Bwana akanyesha mvua ya mawe juu ya nchi yote ya Misri.
24 So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as there was none like it in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.
Basi palikuwa na mvua ya mawe, na moto uliochanganyikana na ile mvua ya mawe, nzito sana, ambayo mfano wake haukuwapo katika nchi yote ya Misri tangu ilipoanza kuwa taifa.
25 And the hail smote throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and beast; and the hail smote every herb of the field, and brake every tree of the field.
Na ile mvua ya mawe ikapiga kila kilichokuwako mashambani, binadamu na mnyama, katika nchi yote ya Misri; hiyo mvua ya mawe ikapiga kila mmea wa mashambani, na kuuvunja kila mti wa mashamba.
26 Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were , was there no hail.
Katika nchi ya Gosheni peke yake, walikokaa wana wa Israeli, haikuwako mvua ya mawe.
27 And Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and said unto them, I have sinned this time: the LORD is righteous, and I and my people are wicked.
Farao akatuma watu, na kuwaita Musa na Haruni, na kuwaambia, Mimi nimekosa wakati huu; Bwana ni mwenye haki, na mimi na watu wangu tu waovu.
28 Intreat the LORD (for it is enough) that there be no more mighty thunderings and hail; and I will let you go, and ye shall stay no longer.
Mwombeni Bwana; kwa kuwa zimekuwa za kutosha ngurumo hizo kuu na hii mvua ya mawe; nami nitawapa ninyi ruhusa mwende zenu, msikae zaidi.
29 And Moses said unto him, As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will spread abroad my hands unto the LORD; and the thunder shall cease, neither shall there be any more hail; that thou mayest know how that the earth is the LORD's.
Musa akamwambia, Mara nitakapotoka mjini nitamwinulia Bwana mikono yangu; na hizo ngurumo zitakoma, wala haitanyesha mvua ya mawe tena; ili upate kujua ya kuwa dunia hii ni ya Bwana.
30 But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye will not yet fear the LORD God.
Lakini, wewe na watumishi wako, najua ya kuwa ninyi hamtamcha Bwana Mungu bado.
31 And the flax and the barley was smitten: for the barley was in the ear, and the flax was bolled.
Kitani na shayiri zilipigwa; maana shayiri zilikuwa na masuke na kitani zilikuwa katika kutoa maua.
32 But the wheat and the rie were not smitten: for they were not grown up.
Lakini ngano na kusemethu hazikupigwa; maana, zilikuwa hazijakua bado.
33 And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread abroad his hands unto the LORD: and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured upon the earth.
Musa akatoka mjini, kutoka kwa Farao, akamwinulia Bwana mikono yake; na zile ngurumo na ile mvua ya mawe zikakoma, wala mvua haikunyesha juu ya nchi.
34 And when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders were ceased, he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he and his servants.
Farao alipoona ya kwamba mvua na mvua ya mawe na ngurumo zimekoma, akazidi kufanya dhambi, na kuufanya moyo wake mzito, yeye na watumishi wake.
35 And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, neither would he let the children of Israel go; as the LORD had spoken by Moses.
Moyo wa Farao ukawa ni mgumu naye hakuwapa wana wa Israeli ruhusa waende zao; kama Bwana alivyonena kwa kinywa cha Musa.
