1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, Go unto Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
Bwana akamwambia Musa, Ingia kwa Farao, ukamwambie, Bwana asema hivi, Wape watu wangu ruhusa, ili wapate kunitumikia.
2 And if thou refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs:
Tena kama ukikataa kuwapa ruhusa, tazama, nitaipiga mipaka yako yote kwa kuleta vyura;
3 and the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly, which shall go up and come into thine house, and into thy bedchamber, and upon thy bed, and into the house of thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thine ovens, and into thy kneadingtroughs:
na huo mto utafurika vyura, nao watakwea juu na kuingia ndani ya nyumba yako, na ndani ya chumba chako cha kulala, na juu ya kitanda chako, na ndani ya nyumba ya watumishi wako, na juu ya watu wako, na ndani ya meko yako, na ndani ya vyombo vyako vya kukandia unga.
4 and the frogs shall come up both on thee, and upon thy people, and upon all thy servants.
Kisha hao vyura watakwea juu yako wewe, na juu ya watu wako, na juu ya watumishi wako wote.
5 And the LORD spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch forth thine hand with thy rod over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and cause frogs to come up upon the land of Egypt.
Bwana akamwambia Musa, Mwambie Haruni, Nyosha mkono wako na fimbo yako juu ya mito, juu ya vijito, na juu ya maziwa ya maji, ukawalete vyura waje juu ya nchi yote ya Misri.
6 And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt.
Basi Haruni akaunyosha mkono wake juu ya maji yote ya Misri; na hao vyura wakakwea juu, wakaifunika nchi ya Misri.
7 And the magicians did so with their enchantments, and brought up frogs upon the land of Egypt.
Waganga nao wakafanya mfano wa hayo kwa uganga wao; na kuwaleta vyura juu ya nchi ya Misri.
8 Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, Intreat the LORD, that he may take away the frogs from me, and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may do sacrifice unto the LORD.
Ndipo Farao akawaita Musa na Haruni na kuwaambia, Mwombeni Bwana, ili awaondoe vyura hawa kwangu mimi na kwa watu wangu; nami nitawapa watu ruhusa waende zao, ili wamtolee Bwana dhabihu.
9 And Moses said unto Pharaoh, Glory over me: when shall I intreat for thee, and for thy servants, and for thy people, to destroy the frogs from thee and thy houses, that they may remain in the river only?
Musa akamwambia Farao, Haya, ujitukuze juu yangu katika jambo hili; sema ni lini unapotaka nikuombee wewe, na watumishi wako, na watu wako, ili hao vyura waangamizwe watoke kwako wewe na nyumba zako, wakae ndani ya mto tu.
10 And he said, To morrow. And he said, Be it according to thy word: that thou mayest know that there is none like unto the LORD our God.
Akamwambia, Kesho, Akasema, Na yawe kama neno lako; ili upate kujua ya kwamba hapana mwingine mfano wa Bwana, Mungu wetu.
11 And the frogs shall depart from thee, and from thy houses, and from thy servants, and from thy people; they shall remain in the river only.
Hao vyura wataondoka kutoka kwako wewe na nyumba zako, na watumishi wako, na watu wako; watasalia mtoni tu.
12 And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh: and Moses cried unto the LORD because of the frogs which he had brought against Pharaoh.
Basi Musa na Haruni wakatoka kwa Farao; Musa akamlilia Bwana katika jambo la hao vyura aliokuwa amewaleta juu ya Farao.
13 And the LORD did according to the word of Moses; and the frogs died out of the houses, out of the villages, and out of the fields.
Bwana akafanya sawasawa na neno la Musa; na hao vyura wakafa kutoka katika zile nyumba, na katika viwanja, na katika mashamba.
14 And they gathered them together upon heaps: and the land stank.
Wakawakusanya chungu chungu; na nchi ikatoa uvundo.
15 But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite, he hardened his heart, and hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said.
Lakini Farao alipoona ya kuwa pana nafuu, akaufanya moyo wake kuwa mzito, asiwasikize; kama Bwana alivyonena.
16 And the LORD said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy rod, and smite the dust of the land, that it may become lice throughout all the land of Egypt.
Bwana akamwambia Musa, Mwambie Haruni, Nyosha fimbo yako, ukayapige mavumbi ya nchi, ili kwamba yawe chawa katika nchi yote ya Misri.
17 And they did so; for Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and smote the dust of the earth, and it became lice in man, and in beast; all the dust of the land became lice throughout all the land of Egypt.
Nao wakafanya; Haruni akaunyosha mkono wake na fimbo yake, na kuyapiga mavumbi ya nchi, nayo yakawa chawa juu ya wanadamu na juu ya wanyama; mavumbi yote ya nchi yakawa ni chawa katika nchi yote ya Misri.
18 And the magicians did so with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not: so there were lice upon man, and upon beast.
Hao waganga nao wakafanya mfano wa hayo kwa uganga wao, ili kwamba walete chawa, lakini wasiweze; nako kulikuwa na chawa juu ya wanadamu, na juu ya wanyama.
19 Then the magicians said unto Pharaoh, This is the finger of God: and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said.
Ndipo wale waganga wakamwambia Farao, Jambo hili ni chanda cha Mungu; na moyo wake Farao ukawa mgumu asiwasikize; vile vile kama Bwana alivyonena.
20 And the LORD said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh; lo, he cometh forth to the water; and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
Bwana akamwambia Musa, Inuka asubuhi na mapema usimame mbele ya Farao; angalia! Atoka aende majini; kamwambie, Bwana asema, Wape watu wangu ruhusa waende zao, ili wanitumikie mimi.
21 Else, if thou wilt not let my people go, behold, I will send swarms of flies upon thee, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thy houses: and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of flies, and also the ground whereon they are .
Au kwamba huwapi ruhusa watu wangu, tazama, nitaleta wingi wa mainzi juu yako wewe, na juu ya watumishi wako, na juu ya watu wako, nao wataingia ndani ya nyumba zako; na nyumba za Wamisri zitajawa na wingi wa mainzi, na nchi nayo ambayo wa juu yake.
22 And I will sever in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there; to the end thou mayest know that I am the LORD in the midst of the earth.
Nami siku hiyo nitatenga nchi ya Gosheni, watu wangu wanayokaa, ili hao mainzi wasiwe huko; ili kwamba upate kujua wewe ya kuwa mimi ndimi Bwana kati ya dunia.
23 And I will put a division between my people and thy people: to morrow shall this sign be.
Nami nitatia mpaka kati ya watu wangu na watu wako; ishara hiyo italetwa kesho.
24 And the LORD did so; and there came a grievous swarm of flies into the house of Pharaoh, and into his servants' houses, and into all the land of Egypt: the land was corrupted by reason of the swarm of flies.
Bwana akafanya; wakaja wingi wa mainzi kwa uzito sana, wakaingia nyumbani mwa Farao, na katika nyumba za watumishi wake, tena katika nchi yote ya Misri; nayo nchi iliharibiwa kwa ajili ya wale mainzi.
25 And Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, Go ye, sacrifice to your God in the land.
Farao akawaita Musa na Haruni akawaambia, Endeni mkamtolee Mungu wenu dhabihu ndani ya nchi hii.
26 And Moses said, It is not meet so to do; for we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to the LORD our God: lo, shall we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, and will they not stone us?
Musa akasema, Haitupasi kufanya hivyo; kwa kuwa tutamchinjia sadaka Bwana, Mungu wetu, na hayo machukizo ya Wamisri; je! Tutachinja sadaka ya hayo machukizo ya Wamisri mbele ya macho yao, wasitupige kwa mawe?
27 We will go three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to the LORD our God, as he shall command us.
La, tutakwenda safari ya siku tatu jangwani, tumchinjie dhabihu Bwana, Mungu wetu, kama atakavyotuagiza.
28 And Pharaoh said, I will let you go, that ye may sacrifice to the LORD your God in the wilderness; only ye shall not go very far away: intreat for me.
Farao akasema, Mimi nitawapa ruhusa mwende, ili mmchinjie dhabihu Bwana, Mungu wenu, jangwani; lakini hamtakwenda mbali sana; haya niombeeni.
29 And Moses said, Behold, I go out from thee, and I will intreat the LORD that the swarms of flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people, to morrow: but let not Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to the LORD.
Musa akasema, Tazama, mimi natoka kwako, nami nitamwomba Bwana ili hao mainzi wamtoke Farao, na watumishi wake, na watu wake kesho; lakini Farao asitende kwa udanganyifu tena, kwa kutowaacha watu waende kumchinjia Bwana dhabihu.
30 And Moses went out from Pharaoh, and intreated the LORD.
Musa akatoka kwa Farao, akamwomba Bwana.
31 And the LORD did according to the word of Moses; and he removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people; there remained not one.
Bwana akafanya kama neno la Musa, akawaondoa wale mainzi wabaya kwake Farao, na kwa watumishi wake, na watu wake; hakusalia hata mmoja.
32 And Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also, neither would he let the people go.
Farao akaufanya moyo wake kuwa mzito mara hiyo nayo, wala hakuwapa ruhusa hao watu waende zao.
