¹And Jehovah said to Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh; for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his bondmen, that I might do these my signs in their midst,

¹[Fahavalo: ny valala] Ary hoy Jehovah tamin'i Mosesy: Mankanesa ao amin'i Farao; fa Izaho efa nanamafy ny fony sy ny fon'ny mpanompony, mba hanehoako izao famantarako izao eo aminy;

²and that thou mightest tell in the ears of thy son and thy son's son what I have wrought in Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah.

²ary mba holazainao ho ren'ny zanakao sy ny zafinao izay zavatra nataoko teto Egypta sy izay famantarana nataoko teo aminy, mba ho fantatrareo fa Izaho no Jehovah.

³And Moses and Aaron came to Pharaoh, and said to him, Thus saith Jehovah the God of the Hebrews: How long dost thou refuse to humble thyself before me? let my people go, that they may serve me.

³Ary Mosesy sy Arona dia nankao amin'i Farao ka nanao taminy hoe: Izao no lazain'i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Hebreo: Mandrapahoviana no handavanao tsy hanetry tena eo anatrehako? alefaso ny oloko mba hanompo Ahy.

⁴For, if thou refuse to let my people go, behold, I will to-morrow bring locusts into thy borders;

⁴Fa raha mandà ka tsy mandefa ny oloko ianao, indro, hahatonga valala amin'ny taninao rehetra Aho rahampitso;

⁵and they shall cover the face of the land, so that ye will not be able to see the land; and they shall eat the residue of that which is escaped, which ye have remaining from the hail, and shall eat every tree which ye have growing in the field;

⁵dia handrakotra ny tany rehetra ireny, ka tsy ho hita ny tany; dia hohaniny ny sisan'ny havandra, izay navela ho anareo, ka hohaniny avokoa ny hazo rehetra izay maniry ho anareo any an-tsaha;

⁶and they shall fill thy houses, and the houses of all thy bondmen, and the houses of all the Egyptians; which neither thy fathers nor thy fathers' fathers have seen, since the day that they were upon the earth unto this day. And he turned and went out from Pharaoh.

⁶dia hameno ny tranonao sy ny tranon'ny mpanomponao rehetra ary ny tranon'ny Egyptiana rehetra ireny; ary tsy mbola hitan'ny rainao na ny raibenao izay toy izay hatr'izay andro niainany tetỳ ambonin'ny tany ka mandraka androany. Dia nihodina izy ka niala teo amin'i Farao.

⁷And Pharaoh's bondmen said to him, How long shall this man be a snare to us? let the men go, that they may serve Jehovah their God: dost thou not yet know that Egypt is ruined?

⁷Ary hoy ny mpanompon'i Farao taminy: Mandra-pahoviana no ho fandrika amintsika iny lehilahy iny? alefaso ireo olona ireo hanompo an'i Jehovah Andriamaniny; tsy mbola fantatrao va fa efa simba Egypta?

⁸And Moses and Aaron were brought again to Pharaoh. And he said to them, Go, serve Jehovah your God. Who are they that shall go?

⁸Dia nisy nampiverina an'i Mosesy sy Arona hankao amin'i Farao indray: ary hoy izy taminy: Mandehana, manompo an'i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo; nefa iza avy moa no handeha?

⁹And Moses said, We will go with our young and with our old, with our sons and with our daughters; with our flocks and with our herds will we go; for we have a feast of Jehovah.

⁹Ary hoy Mosesy: Ny tanora sy ny antitra aminay ho entinay handeha, ary ny zanakai-lahy sy ny zanakai-vavy sy ny ondry aman'osinay ary ny ombinay ho entinay handeha; fa hisy andro firavoravoanay ho an'i Jehovah.

¹⁰And he said to them, Let Jehovah be so with you, as I let you go, and your little ones: see that evil is before you!

¹⁰Fa hoy Farao taminy: Aoka homba anareo ihany anie Jehovah, raha handefa anareo mbamin'ny zanakareo madinika aho; mitandrema, fa misy ratsy eo anoloanareo.

¹¹Not so: go now, ye [that are] men, and serve Jehovah! for it is that ye have desired. And they were driven out from Pharaoh's presence.

¹¹Tsy izany, fa mandehana ianareo lehilahy lehibe ka manompoa an'i Jehovah, fa izany no tadiavinareo. Ary izy roa lahy dia noroahina hiala teo anatrehan'i Farao.

¹²And Jehovah said to Moses, Stretch out thy hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up over the land of Egypt, and eat every herb of the land -- all that the hail hath left.

¹²Ary hoy Jehovah tamin'i Mosesy: Ahinjiro ambonin'ny tany Egypta ny tananao hihavian'ny valala, dia hiakatra ho eto amin'ny tany Egypta ireny, ary dia hihinana ny zava-maniry amin'ny tany, dia izay rehetra sisan'ny havandra.

¹³And Moses stretched out his staff over the land of Egypt, and Jehovah brought an east wind on the land all that day and all that night. When it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts.

¹³Dia nahinjitr'i Mosesy tambonin'ny tany Egypta ny tehiny, ary Jehovah nitondra rivotra avy any atsinanana hankany amin'ny tany mandritra iny andro sy iny alina iny; ary nony maraina dia nitondra ny valala ny rivotra avy any atsinanana.

¹⁴And the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested in all the borders of Egypt, very grievous; before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after them will be such.

¹⁴Ary ny valala niakatra ho amin'ny tany Egypta rehetra, dia nipetraka nanerana ny tany Egypta rehetra; ary nampahory indrindra ireny, ka tsy nisy valala toy izany tany aloha, ary ato aoriany koa tsy hisy toy izany.

¹⁵And they covered the face of the whole land, so that the land was darkened; and they ate every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees that the hail had left; and there remained not any green thing on the trees, and in the herbs of the field, throughout the land of Egypt.

¹⁵Fa nandrakotra ny tany rehetra ireny, ka efa maizina ny tany; ary nohaniny ny anana rehetra teo amin'ny tany sy ny voankazo rehetra, izay sisan'ny havandra; ka dia tsy nisy sisa ny zava-maitso eran'ny tany Egypta rehetra, na tamin'ny hazo, na tamin'ny anana tany an-tsaha.

¹⁶And Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron in haste; and he said, I have sinned against Jehovah your God, and against you.

¹⁶Ary Farao dia nampaka an'i Mosesy sy Arona faingana ka nanao hoe: Efa nanota tamin'i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo sy taminareo aho.

¹⁷And now, forgive, I pray you, my sin only this time, and intreat Jehovah your God that he may take away from me this death only!

¹⁷Ary ankehitriny, masìna ianao mamela ny fahotako izao indray mandeha izao ihany, ka mangataha amin'i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo hampialany amiko izao mahafaty iray loha izao monja.

¹⁸And he went out from Pharaoh, and intreated Jehovah.

¹⁸Dia niala teo amin'i Farao izy ka nangataka tamin'i Jehovah.

¹⁹And Jehovah turned a very powerful west wind, which took away the locusts, and drove them into the Red Sea: there remained not one locust in all the borders of Egypt.

¹⁹Ary Jehovah nahatonga rivotra mahery indrindra avy andrefana kosa, izay nitondra ny valala ka namarina azy tao amin'ny Ranomasina Mena; dia tsy nisy sisa intsony ny valala eran'ny tany Egypta rehetra, na dia iray akory aza.

²⁰And Jehovah made Pharaoh's heart stubborn, and he did not let the children of Israel go.

²⁰Nefa Jehovah nanamafy ny fon'i Farao, ka tsy nandefa ny Zanak'Isiraely izy.

²¹And Jehovah said to Moses, Stretch out thy hand toward the heavens, that there may be darkness in the land of Egypt -- so that one may feel darkness.

²¹[Fahasivy: ny aizim-pito] Ary hoy Jehovah tamin'i Mosesy: Ahinjiro manandrify ny lanitra ny tananao, mba hisy aizina amin'ny tany Egypta, dia aizina azo tsapaina.

²²And Moses stretched out his hand toward the heavens; and there was a thick darkness throughout the land of Egypt three days:

²²Dia nahinjitr'i Mosesy nanandrify ny lanitra ny tànany; dia nisy aizim-pito eran'ny tany Egypta rehetra hateloana,

²³they saw not one another, neither rose any from his place, for three days. But all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.

²³koa tsy mba nifankahita ny olona, na niala tamin'izay nitoerany, hateloana; fa ny Zanak'Isiraely rehetra kosa nisy mazava teo amin'ny fonenany.

²⁴And Pharaoh called Moses and said, Go, serve Jehovah; only, let your flocks and your herds remain; let your little ones also go with you.

²⁴Ary Farao dia nampaka an'i Mosesy ka nanao hoe: Mandehana ianareo, manompoa an'i Jehovah; fa ny ondry aman'osinareo sy ny ombinareo ihany no aoka havelanareo; ary ny zanakareo madinika dia aoka hiaraka aminareo koa.

²⁵And Moses said, Thou must give also sacrifices and burnt-offerings into our hands, that we may sacrifice to Jehovah our God.

²⁵Ary hoy Mosesy: Hianao no hanolotra eto an-tananay izay fanatitra dorana sy fanatitra hafa alatsa-drà haterinay ho an'i Jehovah Andriamanitray;

²⁶Our cattle also must go with us: there shall not a hoof be left behind; for we must take thereof to serve Jehovah our God; and we do not know with what we must serve Jehovah, until we come there.

²⁶ary ny omby aman'ondrinay dia ho entinay hiaraka aminay koa; fa tsy hisy havela na dia ny kitrony iray aza, satria ireny no hangalanay hanompoana an'i Jehovah Andriamanitray; ary tsy mbola fantatray izay ho entinay manompo an'i Jehovah mandra-pahatonganay any.

²⁷But Jehovah made Pharaoh's heart stubborn, and he would not let them go.

²⁷Ary Jehovah dia nanamafy ny fon'i Farao, ka tsy nety nandefa azy izy.

²⁸And Pharaoh said to him, Get thee from me, take heed to thyself, see my face no more; for in the day thou seest my face thou shalt die.

²⁸Ary hoy Farao taminy: Mialà amiko; koa mitandrema, fa aoka tsy hahita ny tavako intsony ianao; fa amin'izay andro hahitanao ny tavako dia ho faty ianao.Ary hoy Mosesy: Marina izay nolazainao; fa tsy hahita ny tavanao intsony aho.

²⁹And Moses said, Thou hast spoken rightly: I will see thy face again no more!

²⁹Ary hoy Mosesy: Marina izay nolazainao; fa tsy hahita ny tavanao intsony aho.
