¹And Jehovah said to Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus saith Jehovah the God of the Hebrews: Let my people go, that they may serve me.

¹Zvino Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi, Pinda kuna Farao, undomuudza, uti, Zvanzi naJehovha, Mwari waVaHebheru: Tendera vanhu vangu kuenda vandinamate.

²For if thou refuse to let them go, and shalt retain them still,

²nekuti kana ukaramba kuvatendera, ukaramba uchivadzivisa,

³behold, the hand of Jehovah shall be on thy cattle which is in the field, on the horses, on the asses, on the camels, on the oxen and on the sheep, with a very grievous plague.

³tarira, ruoko rwaJehovha ruchava pamusoro pezvipfuwo zvako zviri kusango, napamusoro pamabhiza, napamusoro pemadhongi, napamusoro pamakamera, napamusoro pemombe, napamusoro pezvipfuwo zviduku; hosha yakaipa kwazvo ichavapo.

⁴And Jehovah will distinguish between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt; and there shall nothing die of all that the children of Israel have.

⁴Jehovha acharaura zvipfuwo zvavaIsiraeri pazvipfuwo zvavaEgipita; hapana chimwe chingafa pazvipfuwo zvose zvavaIsiraeri.

⁵And Jehovah appointed a set time, saying, To-morrow will Jehovah do this thing in the land.

⁵Zvino Jehovha akatara nguva akati, Mangwana Jehovha achaita chinhu ichi munyika ino.

⁶And Jehovah did this thing on the following day, and all the cattle of Egypt died; but of the cattle of the children of Israel died not one.

⁶Fume mangwana Jehovha akaita chinhu ichocho, zvipfuwo zvose zveEgipita zvikafa; asi pazvipfuwo zvavana vaIsiraeri hapana zvakafa, kunyange nechimwe chete.

⁷And Pharaoh sent, and behold, there was not one of the cattle of the Israelites dead. But the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the people go.

⁷Farao akatuma vanhu, vakawana kuti pazvipfuwo zvavaIsiraeri hapana zvakafa, kunyange chimwe chete. Asi moyo waFarao wakava mukukutu, akasatendera vanhu kuenda.

⁸And Jehovah said to Moses and to Aaron, Take to yourselves handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses scatter it toward the heavens before the eyes of Pharaoh.

⁸Zvino Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi naAroni, Torai tsama dzamadota echoto, Mozisi aakushire kudenga pamberi paFarao.

⁹And it shall become fine dust over all the land of Egypt, and shall become boils on man and on cattle, breaking out [with] blisters, throughout the land of Egypt.

⁹Achashanduka guruva rakatsetseka panyika yose yeEgipita, achiita mamota anoputika semhoni pavanhu napazvipfuwo zvose zveIjjipiti.

¹⁰And they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it toward the heavens; and it became boils [with] blisters breaking out on man and on cattle.

¹⁰Ivo vakatora madota echoto, vakamira pamberi paFarao, Mozisi akaakushira kudenga, akaita mamota anoputika semhoni pavanhu napazvipfuwo.

¹¹And the scribes could not stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boils were on the scribes, and on all the Egyptians.

¹¹Zvino n'anga dzakanga dzisingagoni kumira pamberi paMozisi nokuda kwamamota, nekuti mamota akanga ari pan'anga napavaEgipita vose.

¹²And Jehovah made Pharaoh's heart stubborn, and he did not hearken to them, as Jehovah had told Moses.

¹²Asi Jehovha akaomesa moyo waFarao, akasavateerera, sezvakanga zvarehwa naJehovha kuna Mozisi.

¹³And Jehovah said to Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and set thyself before Pharaoh, and say to him, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of the Hebrews: Let my people go, that they may serve me.

¹³Zvino Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi, Fumira mangwanani, undomira pamberi paFarao, uti kwaari, Zvanzi naJehovha, Mwari wavaHebheru: Tendera vanhu vangu kuenda vandinamate.

¹⁴For I will at this time send all my plagues to thy heart, and on thy bondmen, and on thy people; that thou mayest know that there is none like me in all the earth.

¹⁴Nekuti nenguva ino ndichatuma matambudziko angu ose pamusoro pomoyo wako, napamusoro pavaranda vako, napamusoro pavanhu vako, uzive kuti hapana akafanana neni panyika dzose.

¹⁵For now shall I put forth my hand, and I will smite thee and thy people with pestilence; and thou shalt be cut off from the earth.

¹⁵Nekuti dai ndisakadaro, ndingadai ndaitambanudza ruoko rwangu, ndikakurova iwe navanhu vako nehosha yakaipa, ukaparadzwa chose panyika;

¹⁶And for this very cause have I raised thee up, to shew thee my power; and that my name may be declared in all the earth.

¹⁶asi zvirokwazvo ndakakuraramisa nokuda kwaizvozvo, kuti ndikuratidze simba rangu, uye kuti zita rangu rikurumbire kunyika dzose.

¹⁷Dost thou still exalt thyself against my people, that thou wilt not let them go?

¹⁷Zvino ucharamba uchingozvikudza uchirwa navanhu vangu, usingadi kuvatendera kuenda here?

¹⁸Behold, to-morrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as hath not been in Egypt since its foundation until now.

¹⁸Tarira, mangwana, nenguva yakaita seino, ndichanisa chimvuramabwe chakaipa kwazvo, chisina kumbovapo paEgipita kubva pakuvambwa kwayo kusvikira zvino.

¹⁹And now send, [and] secure thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field: all the men and the cattle that are found in the field, and are not brought home -- on them the hail shall come down, and they shall die.

¹⁹Naizvozvo zvino tuma vanhu, uunganidze zvipfuwo zvako nezvose zvaunazvo kusango, nekuti vanhu vose nezvipfuwo zvose zvinowanikwa kusango, zvisina kuiswa mudzimba, zvicharohwa nechimvuramabwe zvikafa.

²⁰He that feared the word of Jehovah among the bondmen of Pharaoh made his bondmen and his cattle flee into the houses.

²⁰Zvino vakatya shoko raJehovha pakati pavaranda vaFarao vakaraira kuti varanda vavo nezvipfuwo zvavo zvitizire mudzimba.

²¹But he that did not regard the word of Jehovah left his bondmen and his cattle in the field.

²¹Asi vakanga vasingateereri shoko raJehovha, vakarega varanda vavo nezvipfuwo zvavo kusango.

²²And Jehovah said to Moses, Stretch out thy hand toward the heavens, that there may be hail throughout the land of Egypt, upon men, and upon cattle, and upon every herb of the field in the land of Egypt.

²²Zvino Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi, Tambanudzira ruoko rwako kudenga, chimvuramabwe chivepo panyika yose yeEgipita, pamusoro pavanhu, napamusoro pezvipfuwo, napamusoro pemiriwo yose yeminda panyika yose yeEgipita.

²³And Moses stretched out his staff toward the heavens, and Jehovah gave thunder and hail; and the fire ran along the ground; and Jehovah rained hail on the land of Egypt.

²³Mozisi akatambanudzira tsvimbo yake kudenga, Jehovha akatuma kutinhira nechimvuramabwe, moto wemheni ukarova pasi. Jehovha akanaisa chimvuramabwe panyika

²⁴And there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as there had been none like it in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.

²⁴Chimvuramabwe chikavapo, nomoto wakavengana nechimvuramabwe, chikanyanya kwazvo, chisina kumbovapo panyika yose yeEgipita, kubva pakutanga korudzi ipapo.

²⁵And the hail smote throughout the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both men and cattle; and the hail smote every herb of the field, and broke every tree of the field.

²⁵Chimvuramabwe chikarova zvose zvakanga zviri kusango, vanhu nezvipfuwo, panyika yose yeEgipita; chimvuramabwe chikarova miriwo yose yeminda, chikavhuna miti yose yesango.

²⁶Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, was there no hail.

²⁶Asi munyika yeGosheni chete, imo makanga muna vana vaIsiraeri, ndipo pakanga pasina chimvuramabwe.

²⁷And Pharaoh sent, and called Moses and Aaron, and said to them, I have sinned this time: Jehovah is the righteous [one], but I and my people are the wicked [ones].

²⁷Zvino Farao akatuma vanhu kundodana Mozisi naAroni, akati kwavari, Nguva ino ndatadza; Jehovha akarurama, asi ini navaranda vangu takaipa.

²⁸Intreat Jehovah that it may be enough, that there be no more thunder of God and hail; and I will let you go, and ye shall stay no longer!

²⁸Nyengeterai kuna Jehovha, nekuti kutinhira kukuru kwaMwari nechimvuramabwe zvaringana; ndichakutenderai kuenda, murege kugara.

²⁹And Moses said to him, When I go out of the city, I will spread out my hands to Jehovah: the thunder will cease, and there will be no more hail; that thou mayest know that the earth is Jehovah's.

²⁹Mozisi akati kwaari, Kana ndangobuda paguta, ndichatambanudzira maoko angu kuna Jehovha; ipapo kutinhira kuchanyarara, nechimvuramabwe hachizovipo; muchaziva kuti nyika yose ndeyaJehovha.

³⁰But as to thee and thy bondmen, I know that ye do not yet fear Jehovah Elohim.

³⁰Asi kana murimwi navaranda venyu, ndinoziva kuti hamungatyi Jehovha Mwari.

³¹And the flax and the barley were smitten; for the barley was in the ear, and the flax was bolled.

³¹Miti yoruchinda nebhari zvikarohwa, nekuti bhari yakanga yatumbuka, nemiti yoruchinda yakanga yava namaruva.

³²But the wheat and the spelt were not smitten; for they were not come out into ear.

³²Asi zviyo zvegorosi nezvesipereti hazvina kurohwa, nekuti zvakanga zvisina kukura.

³³And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread out his hands to Jehovah; and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not [any more] poured on the earth.

³³Zvino Mozisi akabuda muguta pamberi paFarao, akatambanudzira maoko ake kuna Jehovha, kutinhira nechimvuramabwe zvikanyarara, nemvura ikasadururirwa panyika.

³⁴And Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders had ceased, and he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he, and his bondmen.

³⁴Zvino Farao akati aona kuti mvura nechimvuramabwe nokutinhira zvanyarara, akawedzera kutadza, akaomesa moyo wake, iye navaranda vake.

³⁵And the heart of Pharaoh was stubborn, neither would he let the children of Israel go, as Jehovah had spoken by Moses.

³⁵moyo waFarao ukaomeswa, akasatendera vana vaIsiraeri kuenda; sezvakanga zvarehwa naJehovha nomuromo waMozisi.
