¹Zvino Jehovha akati kuna. Mozisi, Pinda kuna Farao, uti kwaari, Zvanzi naJehovha, tendera vanhu vangu kuenda vandondinamata.

¹And 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.

²Kana ukaramba kuvatendera, tarira, ndicharova nyika yako yose namatatya;

²And if thou refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs:

³rwizi ruchazara kwazvo namatatya; achakwira, achipinda mumba mako, nomuimba yako yokuvata, napanhovo dzako, nomudzimba dzavaranda vako, napamusoro pavanhu vako, nomuzvoto zvako, nomumidziyo yako mamunokanyira zvokudya;

³And 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:

⁴matatya achakwira pamusoro pako napamusoro pavanhu vako, napamusoro pavaranda vako vose.

⁴And the frogs shall come up both on thee, and upon thy people, and upon all thy servants.

⁵Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi, Iti kuna Aroni, Tambanudzira ruoko rwako rwakabata tsvimbo yako pamusoro penzizi, napamusoro pehova, napamusoro pamadziva, uraire matatya kuti akwire panyika

⁵And 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.

⁶Ipapo Aroni akatambanudzira ruoko rwake pamusoro pemvura yeEgipita, matatya akakwira, akafukidza nyika yeEgipita.

⁶And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt.

⁷n'anga dzikaita saizvozvo nouroyi hwadzo dzikaraira matatya kuti akwire panyika yeEgipita.

⁷And the magicians did so with their enchantments, and brought up frogs upon the land of Egypt.

⁸Zvino Farao akadana Mozisi naAroni, akati, Nyengeterai kuna Jehovha kuti abvise matatya kwandiri nokuvanhu vangu, nditendere vanhu kuenda kundobayira Jehovha.

⁸Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, Entreat 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.

⁹Mozisi akati kuna Farao, imwi mukudzwe kupfuura ini ! Ndokunyengetererai nguva ipi, imwi navaranda venyu, navanhu venyu, kuti matatya aparadzwe kwamuri, nomudzimba dzenyu, asare murwizi chete?

⁹And Moses said unto Pharaoh, Glory over me: when shall I entreat 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?

¹⁰Iye akati, Mangwana. Akati, Zvichaitwa sezvamareva; kuti muzive kuti hakuna mumwe akafanana naJehovha, Mwari wedu.

¹⁰And 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.

¹¹Matatya achabva kwamuri, nomudzimba dzenyu, nokuvaranda venyu, nokuvanhu venyu; achasara murwizi chete.

¹¹And 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.

¹²Mozisi naAroni vakabuda muna Farao, Mozisi akadana kuna Jehovha nokuda kwamatatya aakanga atuma kuna Farao.

¹²And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh: and Moses cried unto the LORD because of the frogs which he had brought against Pharaoh.

¹³Jehovha akaita sezvakanga zvarehwa naMozisi, matatya akafa mudzimba nomuzvivanze nokuruwa.

¹³And 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.

¹⁴Vakaaunganidza, vakaaita mirwi, nyika ikanhuwa.

¹⁴And they gathered them together upon heaps: and the land stank.

¹⁵Zvino Farao akati achiona kuti zvava zviri nani, akaomesa moyo wake, akasavateerera; sezvakanga zvarehwa naJehovha.

¹⁵But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite, he hardened his heart, and hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said.

¹⁶Zvino Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi, Iti kuna Aroni, Tambanudza tsvimbo yako, urove guruva rapasi, rishanduke utunga panyika

¹⁶And 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.

¹⁷Vakaita saizvozvo; Aroni akatambanudza ruoko rwake rwakabata tsvimbo yake, akarova guruva rapasi, utunga ukavapo pavanhu napazvipfuwo; guruva rose rapasi rikashanduka utunga panyika yose

¹⁷And 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.

¹⁸n'anga dzikaita saizvozvo nouroyi hwadzo kuti dzibudise utunga, asi hadzina kugona; utunga hwakanga huri pavanhu napazvipfuwo.

¹⁸And the magicians did so with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not: so there were lice upon man, and upon beast.

¹⁹Zvino n'anga dzakati kuna Farao, Mumwe waMwari; asi moyo waFarao wakaomeswa, akasavateerera, sezvakanga zvarehwa naJehovha.

¹⁹Then 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.

²⁰Zvino Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi, Fumira mangwanani, undomira pamberi paFarao; tarira, achabuda achienda kumvura, uti kwaari, Zvanzi naJehovha, tendera vanhu vangu kuenda vandinamate.

²⁰And 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.

²¹nekuti kana ukaramba kutendera vanhu vangu, tarira ndichatuma bute renhunzi pamusoro pako, napamusoro pavaranda vako, napamusoro pavanhu vako, nomudzimba dzako; dzimba dzavaEgipita dzichazara namapute enhunzi, kunyange nevhu padzimire.

²¹Else, 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.

²²Nomusi iwoyo ndichatsaura nyika yeGosheni pagere vanhu vangu, kuti ipapo mapute enhunzi arege kuvapo; kuti uzive kuti ndini Jehovha pakati penyika dzose.

²²And 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.

²³Ndichaparadzanisa vanhu vangu navanhu vako; chiratidzo ichi chichavapo mangwana.

²³And I will put a division between my people and thy people: to morrow shall this sign be.

²⁴Zvino Jehovha akaita saizvozvo, mapute makuru-kuru enhunzi akapinda mumba maFarao, nomudzimba dzavaranda vake, nomunyika yose yeEgipita; nyika ikaodzwa namapute enhunzi.

²⁴And 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.

²⁵Zvino Farao akadana Mozisi naAroni, akati, Endai, mundobayira Mwari wenyu munyika ino.

²⁵And Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, Go ye, sacrifice to your God in the land.

²⁶Mozisi akati, Hazvina kunaka kuita saizvozvo, nekuti tichabayira Jehovha, Mwari wedu, zvibayiro zvinonyangadza vaEgipita; tarirai, kana tikabayira zvinonyangadza vaEgipita havangatitaki namabwe here?

²⁶And 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?

²⁷Tichaenda rwendo rwamazuva matatu murenje, tigobayira Jehovha Mwari wedu sezvaanotiraira.

²⁷We will go three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to the LORD our God, as he shall command us.

²⁸Farao akati, Ndichakutenderai kuenda mundobayira Jehovha Mwari wenyu murenje, asi musaenda kure-kure. Ndinyengetererei.

²⁸And 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: entreat for me.

²⁹Mozisi akati, Tarirai, ndinobuda kwamuri, ndichandonyengetera kuna Jehovha kuti mapute enhunzi abve kuna Farao, nokuvaranda vake, nokuvanhu vake mangwana; asi Farao ngaarege kuzonyengerazve, achiramba kutendera vanhu kuenda kundobayira Jehovha.

²⁹And Moses said, Behold, I go out from thee, and I will entreat 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.

³⁰Ipapo Mozisi akabuda kuna Farao, akandonyengetera kuna Jehovha.

³⁰And Moses went out from Pharaoh, and entreated the LORD.

³¹Jehovha akaita sezvakakumbira Mozisi, akabvisa mapute enhunzi kuna Farao, nokuvaranda vake, nokuvanhu vake; haana kusara kunyange neimwe.

³¹And 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.

³²Asi Farao akaomesa moyo wake nenguva iyowo, akasatendera vanhu kuenda.

³²And Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also, neither would he let the people go.
