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;

¹Yahweh said to Moses, “Go in to Pharaoh, for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I may show these my signs in their midst,

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.

²and that you may tell in the hearing of your son, and of your son’s son, what things I have done to Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; that you may know that I am Yahweh.”

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.

³Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and said to him, “This is what Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews, says: ‘How long will you refuse to humble yourself before me? Let my people go, that they may serve me.

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

⁴Or else, if you refuse to let my people go, behold, tomorrow I will bring locusts into your country,

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;

⁵and they shall cover the surface of the earth, so that one won’t be able to see the earth. They shall eat the residue of that which has escaped, which remains to you from the hail, and shall eat every tree which grows for you out of the field.

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.

⁶Your houses shall be filled, and the houses of all your servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians; as neither your fathers nor your fathers’ fathers have seen, since the day that they were on the earth to this day.’” He turned, and went out from Pharaoh.

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?

⁷Pharaoh’s servants said to him, “How long will this man be a snare to us? Let the men go, that they may serve Yahweh, their God. Don’t you yet know that Egypt is destroyed?”

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?

⁸Moses and Aaron were brought again to Pharaoh, and he said to them, “Go, serve Yahweh your God; but who are those who will go?”

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.

⁹Moses 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 must hold a feast to Yahweh.”

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

¹⁰He said to them, “Yahweh be with you if I will let you go with your little ones! See, evil is clearly before your faces.

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.

¹¹Not so! Go now you who are men, and serve Yahweh; for that is what you desire!” They were driven out from Pharaoh’s presence.

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.

¹²Yahweh said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up on the land of Egypt, and eat every herb of the land, even all that the hail has left.”

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.

¹³Moses stretched out his rod over the land of Egypt, and Yahweh brought an east wind on the land all that day, and all the night; and when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts.

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.

¹⁴The locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested in all the borders of Egypt. They were very grievous. Before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after them shall be such.

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.

¹⁵For they covered the surface of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened, and they ate every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left. There remained nothing green, either tree or herb of the field, through all the land of Egypt.

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

¹⁶Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste, and he said, “I have sinned against Yahweh your God, and against you.

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.

¹⁷Now therefore please forgive my sin again, and pray to Yahweh your God, that he may also take away from me this death.”

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

¹⁸He went out from Pharaoh, and prayed to Yahweh.

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.

¹⁹Yahweh turned an exceeding strong west wind, which took up the locusts, and drove them into the Red Sea or, Sea of Reeds . There remained not one locust in all the borders of Egypt.

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

²⁰But Yahweh hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he didn’t let the children of Israel go.

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.

²¹Yahweh said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward the sky, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt.”

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

²²Moses stretched out his hand toward the sky, and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days.

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

²³They didn’t see one another, neither did anyone rise from his place for three days; but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.

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.

²⁴Pharaoh called to Moses, and said, “Go, serve Yahweh. Only let your flocks and your herds stay behind. Let your little ones also go with you.”

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

²⁵Moses said, “You must also give into our hand sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice to Yahweh our God.

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.

²⁶Our livestock also shall go with us. Not a hoof shall be left behind, for of it we must take to serve Yahweh our God; and we don’t know with what we must serve Yahweh, until we come there.”

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

²⁷But Yahweh hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he wouldn’t let them go.

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.

²⁸Pharaoh said to him, “Get away from me! Be careful to see my face no more; for in the day you see my face you shall die!”

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

²⁹Moses said, “You have spoken well. I will see your face again no more.”
